Before the first elimination, there’s a day-night group date.” Rejects being rejected by rejects? This is Must See TV!

MONDAY (8/2)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): Season finale. “Ali arrives in Bora Bora with two guys (Chris L. and Roberto) and one rose. Her family are also there—-and they do her no favor by liking both bachelors equally.” Her family said it was so hard to choose in this loser-loser situation.
- The Good Guys (FOX, 9pm): “A crime family dispatches an assassin to kill a man in the Witness Protection Program after Dan accidentally exposes the man’s identity.” He forgot to adjust his Facebook privacy settings to “Friends Only.”
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): “Provenza stumbles into a compromising situation, as is his habit, when he romances a flight attendant on company time—-then discovers a dead body in her condominium.” It was too big to stuff into the overhead compartment.

First Look: Jessica Simpson on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip, Video,
(Warning: NSFW language ahead.)
I never thought I would find myself saying this, but Jessica Simpson does a lot better in this Entourage cameo than I ever imagined she would.
Granted, I expected very little. And really - how hard could it possibly be to call Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) an “a**hole”?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, FOX, HBO, MTV, NBC, TNT-HD, Entourage, Video,
MONDAY (7/19)
- Behind the Music (VH1, 8pm): “Usher is profiled through interviews and archival clips. The R&B star discusses his relationship with TLC’s Chilli.” I’d hate to say things are still “chilly” between them, but…
- Rizzoli & Isles (TNT, 10pm): “Jane clashes with her new boss (Donnie Wahlberg).” You have to hang tough with that guy.
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): Season finale. “The three beauties left are paired with celebrities to party the night away. They then don’t get to sleep it off, but instead must film a commercial about Las Vegas. One player folds like a house of cards from the sleep deprivation.” Beauty sleep is for suckers who can’t afford plastic surgery.

Getting Into Character: Freshly Shorn Adrian Grenier on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip,
It’s. About. Freaking. Time.
Although I have enjoyed many things about Entourage, there is one thing that’s always bothered me: Adrian Grenier‘s hair. I have never understood why women would throw themselves at a man with a mop like that.
Well - based on these pictures of Grenier on set of his HBO show in Los Angeles, it appears a change has finally come. Now if they could just tame Vincent Chase’s eyebrows…
Season 7 of Entourage will begin later this summer.
