Ah, that's more like it: last night's episode of "Kell on Earth" featured lots of earth mama Kelly, a little insidery-PR humor, and less random preachy monologues about her staff. We got to see some of the nitty-grittiness of the fashion PR business -- the disaster of incorrectly-packed gift bags, for example (Robyn, aghast: "No tissue paper?!"). Kelly got fired by Chado Ralph Rucci at the beginning of the episode, but we knew that was going to happen anyway, so we're over it.

The meat of the episode revealed Kelly's steadfast clear-headedness in the face of various Fashion Week foibles. While her underlings bickered and complained about each other (having done a short stint in the PR world, I can assure you that assigning blame occupies about 90% of a publicist's day), Kelly remained a center of calm and a keeper of peace. She burned sage, folded jeans, and regulated a blaming match between two of her employees with amazing sanity: "They put so much effort into talking about what's not working. Instead of a bitchfest, we should work on a positive outcome."

But it's all fun and games until a model collapses in the middle of a presentation. Read more, after the jump.

Andre Leon Talley has just finished filming his first season of "America's Next Top Model" and signed on to do three more, apparently with Anna Wintour's blessing (I'm guessing "Fine, Andre," is about as good as it gets). He'll be wearing a specially-made line of robes by Chado Ralph Rucci, who also got a crap-ton of reality show love on last week's premiere of "Kell on Earth." He'll also be introducing a fresh lineup of buzzwords to the "ANTM" lexicon, which is great, because if I hear "smize" one more time I'm going to plug my ears with Covergirl sponge applicators.

What's his favorite new word? Hit "continue reading."

"Kell on Earth" premiered last night in a well-caffeinated explosion of f-bombs, undereye circles, and Post-It notes. If television needed an antidote to "The City" or "The Hills," both of which portray the fashion industry as an orderly field of perfect manicures and neat desks, then here it is. In other news, there was an awkward cameo with Ashley Dupre and her mom, whose drop-in at the office seemed scripted and out-of-place. For the full recap, hit "continue reading."

Whitney Port, who was initially meant to be the star of "The City" until Kelly Cutrone, her far more interesting "boss," hijacked the camera (and then proceeded to get her own Bravo show, which premieres tonight), is now accepting applicants for a suitable date. Whether this is part of a larger bid to return Whitney to the center of the show, we'll have to see. She routinely "dates" guys on-camera, but since Freddy Facklemayer doesn't count, she's been single for well over a year by our watch.

The contest is being held in tandem with a forthcoming (and not very promising-looking) rom-com called "She's Out of Your League," which comes out this June. Each of the five semi-finalists will have to prepare a video detailing his own experiences of trying to date someone out of his league. They also can't be related to and/or employed by Paramount Pictures (distributors of the aforementioned cinematic masterpiece), and semi-finalist videos can't be violent, overtly sexual, or contain drugs or alcohol...yawn.

Obviously, plenty of guys will do anything to get on TV, and we'll get to see some interesting footage of songs and dances, plus many attempts to pick up supermodels that end with someone falling or getting hit in the face with a ball. I have high hopes for learning new words that rhyme with "Whitney" ("your skin never has a zit...ney"/"your side I'll never quit...ney"/"I'll take you for a ride on a jitney"?).

But Whitney, Whitney, Whitney: we actually sort of took you seriously last fall when you showed your first collection at Fashion Week. And besides being kind of boring, you're very pretty and haven't done anything truly dumb on national TV. You still have a chance to lead a somewhat respectable life, or at least fulfill your dreams of being a fairly marketable fashion designer. Are you really going to turn "The City" into a sad manhunt? More dates will also lead to less face-time with Cutrone, who is still doing "The City" despite her gig with Bravo -- nice try, MTV, but we're still more interested Kelly, thanks.

Oh, and I'm still not going to see "She's Out of Your League."

Kelly Cutrone doesn't pull any punches. In the video, above, and as Whitney Port's boss and mentor on "The City," the fast-talking owner of fashion PR firm People's Revolution is known for telling it like it is. Bravo finally got wise to the fact that Kelly's surprisingly lovable intolerance for makeup, bullsh*t, and tears would make for a great reality show (and the constant fashion shoots, runway shows, and gorgeous models/clothes/celebrities aren't a bad backdrop either). The new series, "Kell on Earth," begins next Monday, February 1. We chatted with Kelly about how she stands out from most other women on television, what this show means for her business, and why she doesn't "have time to be dilly-dallying around with hair and makeup." See the full interview, plus the series preview, after the jump.

The only thing funnier than publicist (or, more notably, "The City" star) Kelly Cutrone dropping the f-bomb on Fox News this morning was her own reaction to her faux pas. What caused her to slip? She grew so carried away with lambasting the snootiness of her former intern (and current co-star) Olivia Palermo that she simply couldn't contain herself: "When you're working someplace as prestigious as Elle magazine...you'd better leave your f***ing attitude at the door!" she exclaimed, frothing lightly at the mouth. Someone off-camera gasps, "Ooh!" and Kelly registered what she'd done. To her credit, she attempted to make it look intentional -- just some playful mud-slinging, kids! (It's Fox, after all.) She smiled sneakily, whooped, and raised her arms over her head, victory-style. She then leaned over to administer what looked to be a high-five with someone out of the camera frame (the clip is after the jump). To be fair, the woman is used to some heavy editing and probably a teleprompter, so let's not be too harsh; either way, at least she's not afraid to break some rules.
