"Make Me A Supermodel" crowned the right person winner: Holly, the girl from a very small town in southwestern Virginia. Yes, Ben was adorable, and Perry was hot, and Ronnie was cuter than pie. But Holly was a winner.
Besides, Perry is an idiot. When your girlfriend cheats on you with Britney Spears’ boyfriend, you do not say "everything happens for a reason." You say "goodbye" or "I forgive you." You do not assume that Britney Spears’ boyfriend’s wandering hands are a message from God.
My feelings about Holly deserving to win were confirmed when we got to see the boys grouse backstage. They had no idea how strong a model she was.
If you can’t get enough modeling, check out Bravo’s marathon of the UK version of "Supermodel" all day today.

TV Squad says they’re tired of people whining and crying on "The Biggest Loser." Please! The crying is the best part! It’s half the reason I watch any reality-TV program (the other half is the totally absurd fighting).

Discovery’s “The Deadliest Catch” heads out to sea for a fourth season of stormy crab-fishing on April 15. It looks awesome and dashing and all, but what I want to know is where I can get one of those snappy orange-and-yellow rain outfits. Do they come in eco-friendly low-impact editions like the stuff at the HBO store?

I don’t have insider confirmation about the following stories, but I’m pretty confident in my powers of prediction and guesstimation. Beware my spoilers! They have more spoilage than day-old meat in the back of a Japanese dekotora (at left)!
On Tuesday, "American Idol"
contestants will be singing Dolly Parton songs. Despite country being
her natural genre, horsey girl Kristy Lee Cook will screw up badly.

The other week, Gordon Ramsay told us that he doesn’t enjoy swearing and that he can stop at any time. He’ll prove it tomorrow night on the season premiere of "Hell’s Kitchen,"
which will feature no rage or anger at all. He’s turned over a
completely new leaf and will gently correct any mistakes he sees in the
kitchens of his new proteges.

On "Top Model"
this week, the girls do go-sees - that is, client visits. At least one
of them is going to get horribly lost, show up late, and blame a […]

I was going to liveblog the "Make Me A Supermodel" reunion special last night but absolutely nothing interesting happened.
I guess there were a few moments. We had confirmation the entire viewing audience is obsessed with the Ronnie/Ben bromance thing. Yes, we knew that, but still, funny to see it confirmed by all the fanmail. And of course Casey had to have a reunion with the snake he was so afraid of. Nothing like a terrified model holding an enormous python.
It’s also amusing to hear that the Cory Bautista quit reading blogs about "Make Me A Supermodel" because he was tired of people calling him fat. If you don’t like people calling you fat, maybe you should pick a job which doesn’t entail judging people’s bodies.
But otherwise, the reunion special was pretty much a bust. Tune in next week for the finale.

I watched two or three episodes of hotties-and-idiocy reality show "Work Out" when it came on air a couple years back, and grew bored with it, and discarded it. Yes, there are hotties, but I can see those anywhere on TV. I realized tonight that they’ve given it a third season, set to debut on April 15.
If you love people with no body fat and huge amounts of baggage, this is totally your chance to get on the bandwagon. If you think the show was terrible the first time around and unlikely to improve in a third season, you agree with me.

Gordon Ramsay has a reputation for verbal beat-downs. Where Rachael Ray says "yummo" and Emeril says "bam!" Ramsay is known for saying things like "You little bastard, what the fuck were you thinking? This tastes like gnat’s piss. It’s fucking rancid. If you shut the fuck up for thirty seconds you might fucking learn something." 
Of course, if you’ve ever worked in restaurants, that kind of language isn’t much of a surprise. In more than a few pro kitchens, vicious profanity is as common as salt and pepper.
Out of the kitchen, though, Ramsay’s a really nice guy. His anger at poor cooking seems to stem from some sort of deep identification with food, and a belief that it deserves to be cooked perfectly every time. Culinary mistakes aren’t just mistakes to him: They’re personal insults. Overcooking shrimp or pairing apricots with mashed potatoes isn’t just unfortunate to him. It’s […]

Just what you’ve been waiting and hoping and wishing for: A new season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians!" What do you mean you wanted something worth watching? This is worth watching. It’s the tale of a bunch of spoiled, good-looking people with too much money and not enough brains bickering and being pretty. Isn’t that what everyone wants?

Well, in my case, I spent nearly twenty minutes online looking for a parody video starring Cardassians rather than Kardashians, and didn’t find one. Come on, fandom! I need your parody videos! I can’t possibly make them myself - I’m no good with makeup.
