McCain Also Caught Talking About Lipstick on Pigs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication, Gossip, Video,
Haven’t heard the latest controversy about pigs wearing lipstick? Well, then you haven’t been watching the news.
Today, Barack Obama is being fired upon from John McCain’s camp about comments he made during a speech yesterday. When talking about his opponent’s plan for change, the Democratic candidate chose to use this colorful analogy: “You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”
And while that phrase has been used many times before, McCain supporters felt Barack’s “sexist” comment was aimed directly toward Sarah Palin (the “Pitbull with Lipstick”). Unfortunately, the Republicans also failed to realize that their own candidate had used that same analogy about a certain female contender last year.
In today’s episode of The View, the ladies of the table talked about the two different soundbites. (You can watch both of them here.) If you listen closely, you might also hear Elisabeth Hasselbeck defend Barack Obama…

Christina Aguilera’s Goth Look Failed to Mask Bad Performance
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, MTV, Editorial, Gossip, Video,
To begin, I will be outright honest and admit that I tuned into MTV’s 2008 Video Music Awards last night in hopes of seeing Britney Spears make a [second] comeback performance, despite the comments from her people saying that she definitely would not appear. So I held out until the end of the show, surprisingly allowing myself to concede to an awards show I was clearly out of touch with (the only video I had seen prior to the night was “Piece of Me”).
With that being said, I was still very much excited by all of the performances throughout the night, save Christina Aguilera‘s sad excuse for one.

Randomly Commenting About: Miley Cyrus’ Cancer Event Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, CBS, NBC, Editorial, Video,
Even though I really like the single (and loved the cause for which it was written), there was one musician who really stuck out during Friday night’s Stand Up 2 Cancer event: Miley Cyrus.
The song - which is available for purchase on iTunes - was performed live this weekend from New York’s Radio City Music Hall. And while “Just Stand Up” earned a nice reception, I couldn’t help but notice how Miley Cyrus’ immature voice stuck out like a grating sore thumb. Did she really deserve to be up on the same stage as Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Carrie Underwood? Ehh, I think not.

Preview of True Blood: HBO’s New Vampire Series
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Video,
In the past year, we’ve seen the fan hysteria behind Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight and the cancellation of the loved-but-not-watched series Moonlight. Now, we’ll get to see if another vampire-related project will be as successful as the former or as neglected as the latter.
Later this week, HBO will introduce the latest entry in the blood-sucking genre. In True Blood, the newest creation from writer/producer/director Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), vampires are able to co-exist with humans. A synthetic supply of the red stuff allows them to feed without necessarily needing to hunt.
After the jump, you can see the moment when Sookie Stackhouse (Oscar-winner Anna Paquin) meets 173-year-old Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) for the very first time.

Hole in the Wall Preview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Video,
Were you one of the millions entertained this summer by Wipeout‘s Big Balls? Well, then this might be the show for you.
Next month, FOX will introduce Hole in the Wall, its contribution to the reality humiliation genre. Although the program’s concept could tire quickly (like The Moment of Truth‘s), it’s appears to be a fun counterprogramming option for those in need of a mindless chuckle.
Hole in the Wall has special previews on September 7th and 9th. It will then regularly air @ 8pm on Thursdays starting September 11.

With the premiere of Gossip Girl only days away, it’s now time to get everyone up to speed.
If you’re not currently a fan - or if you’re a bit hazy on last season’s details - you can find a very quick recap after the jump. If you already know the difference between a Waldorf, a Humphrey and a Bass, you can just focus on the first five minutes of Season Two below.
(NOTE: We’re already getting our first glimpse of Nate’s new cougar!)

The CW has unveiled yet another new promo for their upcoming spinoff 90210 - and this TV spot gives us exactly what we want. And what do we want? Shannen Doherty!
It’s only 10 seconds long and Doherty only says two words - but it’s enough to whet the appetite for much more. Shannen-as-Brenda-Walsh offers up a coquettish grin as the voice-over intones “…an icon returns.” You’re right about that.

Preview Clip from Gossip Girl’s New Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
A few weeks ago, we saw a few tantalizing clips of what Gossip Girl‘s second season has in store for us. Now we’re actually getting a glimpse of the miserable state Chuck Bass will be in this fall. (Could he actually be feeling guilt for what he did to Blair?)
My favorite part of this scene? Bass’ snooty response to the word ‘Jitney.’
Gossip Girl kicks off Monday, September 1 on the CW.

See the First Clips of Shannen Doherty on 90210

If you’ve been wondering how the old 90210 vets would mesh with the current students of West Beverly, here’s your chance to make a snap judgment.
My first thoughts? Shannen Doherty‘s face looks puffy, AnnaLynne McCord is as disgustingly beautiful as she was on Nip/Tuck and Shenae Grimes looks like she’s still at Degrassi.
In other words: This is Must See TV.
90210 starts its school year on September 2nd.
