Shear Genius
"Shear Genius" Eliminee #2: Arzo Nazamy Q&A
February 11th 2010 at 5:21pm by CharlotteCowles

This week's "Shear Genius" eliminee, Arzo Nazamy, pulled no punches about getting the boot. "It wasn't fair," she said. "The judges suck a**! They should have had better judges...I shouldn't have gone home, but I know I rocked it." And there's plenty more: apparently one of the judges, "Blow Out" star Jonathan Antin, kept Amy from elimination because he had a crush on her. Scandal!

This week's episode featured a challenge in which the contestants had to rehabilitate the overprocessed hair of blonde-orexic models. For their elimination challenge, they had to create styles that reflected specific dishes from a new L.A. restaurant, the Dakota. Matthew won the challenge with his interpretation of a yellowtail dish, while Arzo got the boot for her tuna sashimi-inspired 'do. To see our chat with Arzo and her final two looks, hit "continue reading."

Cougar Town
"Cougar Town" Episode 1-15: "When a Kid Goes Bad"
February 11th 2010 at 1:58pm by CharlotteCowles

What happens when you combine a month's worth of free fried chicken, Christmas lights, and a "coffee circle"? Valentine's Day on "Cougar Town," obviously, which kicked off last night with Travis coming home with a greasy bag from Chicken Dandies. Apparently, whenever they open a new store, the first 50 people in line get free meals for a month. "After waiting behind a large gentleman for 20+ hours who was using a paint bucket as both a chair and a commode, you're lookin' at customer number three," says Travis to Jules, who gets pissed that Bobby condoned Travis missing school for the occasion.

In other news, the adorable Smith Frank comes back from law school to visit Laurie and introduce her to his posh folks! For the full recap, hit "continue reading."

White Collar
"White Collar" Episode 1-11: "Home Invasion"
February 10th 2010 at 4:28pm by CharlotteCowles

This episode of "White Collar"  featured Neal doing what he does best: womanizing. For once, I don't think I heard Kate's name a single time, and while it's obvious that her music box was the reason behind Neal's sudden interest in a former flame named Alex, it was nice to see him getting out there for a change. For the full recap, hit "continue reading."

Kell on Earth
"Kell on Earth" Episode 2 Is Way Better Than the Premiere
February 9th 2010 at 5:06pm by CharlotteCowles

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.

February 9th 2010 at 1:00pm by CharlotteCowles

This week's episode of "How I Met Your Mother" covered the Super Bowl and Valentine's Day with a swift one-two punch, starting with Barney sitting stadium-side with a large sign, awaiting nationwide broadcast via crowdcam: "Hey Ladies! Call Barney Stinson: 1-917-555-0197." What sorts of ladies would follow that order? Find out in the full recap, after the jump.

Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane
"America's Next Top Model" Learns New Words from Andre Leon Talley
February 8th 2010 at 6:14pm by CharlotteCowles

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."

Bones
"Bones" Episode 5-14: "The Devil in the Details"
February 5th 2010 at 5:38pm by CharlotteCowles

This episode kicks off with a choirboy and a priest together in a church. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Alas, we're wrong; this is "Bones," not "SVU." The pair smells something burning, and discover a human body in flames on the church's altar! Only...it has horns and a tail, which must mean that Satan himself is a-cooking.

Bones and team come in to investigate. Brennan is obviously a non-believer, while Booth is uneasy about the devilish figure. They bring the body back to the lab and figure out that the horns were artificially implanted; the tail, on the other hand, is actually vestigial, which happens to people from time to time. They find out that a horned man named Neil is missing from a local sanitorium, and they interview his mother (played by Rusty Schwimmer, who I know best as Helen Hunt's mom in "Twister"). For the full recap, hit "continue reading."

February 5th 2010 at 11:25am by CharlotteCowles

With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, there was plenty of fodder for football-related humor on last night's talk shows. Jimmy Kimmel took it upon himself to air a rebuttal to Tim Tebow's pro-life ad that showcases the fact that unplanned pregnancies don't all result with pro-football players (above). Meanwhile, Jay Leno chatted about the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, which will feature classic rock band The Who. See his predictions about their performance, after the jump.

Launch My Line
"Launch My Line" Winner Kathy Rose, Plus Runners-Up Merle Ginsberg and Eric Cubeechee: Q&A
February 4th 2010 at 5:45pm by CharlotteCowles

And here we have it: Kathy Rose won "Launch My Line"! Also, Fergie made a guest appearance in the finale, and told everyone their designs were "perfect" -- several times. Merle Ginsberg was pissed she didn't win, but seems to be over it -- or so she told us, before complaining about the DSquared twins being drunks. Read our full interviews of Kathy, Merle, and Eric Cubeechee, after the jump.
