I Noticed That, Too!

I totally saw THIS when watching Project Runway. Bravo should maybe focus less on making as many shows as possible from the Real Housewives of the OC and more on math skills.

Who Does She Think She Is?

So today Katherine Heigl decided to announce that she was "removing herself" from the Emmy race for her role on Grey's Anatomy.

Please! Was anyone even planning on giving her a nomination? I'm pretty sure Izzy spent this season desperately pining for George and whining about not being taken seriously as a surgeon (much like the other seasons). Is that Emmy-worthy?

And, to make it worse, she said the reason she was withdrawing was because she "didn't think she was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination."

So it wasn't her acting skills that were lacking, it was the writing of the show? What happened to all that solidarity with the writers during their strike?

Way to bite the hand that feeds you, Katherine Heigl! Like you'll be getting any good storylines in Season 5--if you even make it to the next season. If I were those writers, I'd throw her down an elevator shaft (think Joey on Friends after he takes credit for writing scenes--yes!).

May I remind everyone that this is the girl from My Father the Hero?

Let's Just Not Call Him AT ALL

Years ago, a young rap artist entered the music scene. He was Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs.

Then, he decided Puff Daddy was too long. He'd just go by "Puffy" from now on.

Somehow that was too crazy so he took back the daddy but shortened the Puff to P. He was "P. Diddy" all of a sudden.

Time went by and that darn P became way too much of a burden so he dropped and it now he was simply "Diddy."

When "Diddy" decided to be a serious actor, he dropped the nicknames completely and wanted everyone to refer to him by (gasp!) his actual name: Sean Combs.

WELL it looks like Sean Combs is back to his old tricks--US Magazine and Perez Hilton (among others) are both reporting that Combs is apparently kickin' it old style (yeah, I just said that) and wants to, once again, be referred to as "Puff Daddy."

Why does this guy think he is so important that he can change his name so many times and we'll all go along with it?
Puff Daddy in the 90s...
Then Puffy...
Then P. Diddy...
Then Diddy...
Then we called him Sean Combs--for quite a while...
Oh and I forgot--Sean John, too!
Now you want us to call you "Puff Daddy" again?

My question is this: who is calling him anything at all lately? Can we say publicity stunt?

Got GUTS?

According to TV Squad, Nickelodeon is bringing back GUTS!

As a nineties kid, I am rejoicing. I remember watching that show and thinking about how I could prove myself if I had the chance in front of Mike O'Malley and millions of viewers (okay maybe more like thousands of viewers). And who didn't love the Agro-Crag?

One thing though--as much fun as it is to revive old shows, it makes me think. Have we really run out of ideas so much that we have to bring back a crazy competition where kids run through sparklers and foam pits in colorful helmets?

Honest to Blog?

Here's a new deal I cooked up...

News: Sam's Club, Costco limit rice purchases as prices rise
I saw this on the Today show this morning, too. Apparently we are so busy using grain for fuel that we kind of forgot it's for eating, too. And now people are paying the price!

Entertainment: Aliens in America's Raja Joins Nip/Tuck
I just love that they are already planning the next season of Nip/Tuck. Even though it's not coming until this fall, I am already waiting in anticipation. Plus who doesn't love a Doogie Howser-type?

Life: I Swear This is a Happier Post
Just when I start to whittle down my big pile of books to read, Jen goes and throws another stack of must-reads in front of me. By the way, have I mentioned how much I love the Amazon Marketplace and their $0.01 books? I plan to read 27 hours a day this summer. Right.

Random: I don't getz it.
