What to watch on the runway:
Men’s Fashion Week: Sexually ambiguous models will strut their stuff down the runway in Milan and Paris to show us what us guys will look like this fall. Festivities started on Jan. 16 and will conclude on the 24. I’m keeping my eye on Yohji, YSL, Lanvin and I think Osh Kosh will be showing too!
What to watch on TV:
Monday, Jan. 18: Life Unexpected on the CW. It’s supposed to be like the Gilmore Girls meets Juno. Also, for all you masculine figure skaters out there, the flamboyant Johnny Weir premieres his documentary series called Be Good Johnny Weir on the Sundance channel. Also, Neil Patrick Harris directs the 101st episode of How I Met Your Mother it’s sure to be LEGEN…okay, you know the rest.
Tuesday, Jan. 19: Shania Twain helps judge American Idol on Fox. So that’s where she’s been this whole time!
Wednesday, Jan. 20: The sassy sprite Kristin Chenoweth takes the guest judge chair on American Idol and on Modern Family (ABC), Mitchell makes Jay think that one of his old pals is playing for the same team (in other words he’s gay). I’m already LOLing.
Thursday, Jan. 21: YAY! NBC airs new episodes of The Office, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock (the latter with Julianne Moore!). The new law drama (or is it a comedy) The Deep End debuts on ABC and a new Project Runway (Lifetime)! Does anyone even bother with their show, Models of the Runway?
Friday, Jan. 22: The series finale of Dollhouse hits Fox and Spartacus: Blood and Sand premieres on Starz. I wonder if it will be as homoerotic as the original…
Sunday, Jan 24: The Olympics are around the corner and you know what that means – it’s time for the AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships!
