What to watch on the runway…

It’s that time of year again – it’s time for FASHION WEEK in New York! Starting Feb. 11, smokey eyes and nude lips will invade Bryant Park as designers send their Fall 2010 collections down a runway like a log ride; telling the masses of fashion junkies what they should be wearing come autumn – and this is the last time you’ll see the event in Bryant Park. Come September, the tents will uproot to the Lincoln Center which is, in a way, an end of an era. Now designers will get criticized for their work at a totally different venue.

What to watch in theaters…

Pickings are quite slim in the theaters for the Feb. 12 release dates: Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief – which kind of sounds fun, but not as fun as the “look at us we’re famous” ensemble rom-com, Valentine’s Day. I swear, that movie’s cast looks like a celebriorgy of actors. Then there’s The Wolfman – a release date that has been pushed back so many times that I don’t know if I should care about it anymore – but Emily Blunt will probably make it worthwhile. That and the fact that there’s a lot of murderous killings involved.

It goes without saying that the new episode of Lost on Tuesday is a must-see, but there’s also a new episode of How I Met Your Mother (CBS) and the season finale of Heroes (NBC) on Monday (does anyone really watch that anymore?) – but if those don’t tickle your fancy, Bravo’s Kell on Earth is definitely something you must keep up with. It makes up for reality TV lameness like Launch My Line and The Fashion Show. Tuesday brings us to Hollywood week on American Idol (FOX) and the series finale of The Jay Leno Show (NBC) – but don’t worry! We’ll see him in the time slot he purloined from Conan. Thursday is the series premiere of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (CBS) – but I’ll probably be watching Jon Bon Jovi as he gives love a bad name on 30 Rock (NBC). Dust off your American flag for Friday because the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Opening Ceremony will air on NBC (Good luck trying to top the Beijing Olympics – what are they going to do? Have a big ol’ paper mache maple leaf to represent Canada?! scoff!). On Valentine’s day, celebrate romance with the 2010 NBA All-Star Game (TNT), the series premiere of The Amazing Race (CBS) or Ruby (Style). Nothing says “I love you” like celebrity basketball players, globetrotting people in North Face doing ridiculous tasks for money and a sweet woman who used to be 716 pounds.

What to buy on DVD…

- Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years – that’s a whole lotta Clint. 4,244 minutes to be exact.
- Coco Before Chanel – the film was eh but watch for the sake of Audrey Tautou
- Good Hair- a good Chris Rock documentary about weaves, relaxers and an insane hairstyling competition. Someone even cuts hair underwater!
- Law Abiding Citizen - I totally forgot this movie came out in the theaters!
- Small Wonder: The Complete First Season – HELL TO THE MUTHAFUCKIN YEAH!

What music to listen to…

Get your bedroom eyes ready because Sade’s album “Soldier of Love” hits stores Feb. 8. We’ve been waiting for an album that would be able to make us drop trou 20 seconds into the first track. Hopefully this one will be it.

The new cast of Project Runway season 7 comes back to New York

What to watch on TV:

Sunday, Jan. 10: Brand new episodes: Big Love on HBO and Chuck on NBC.

Monday, Jan. 11: A new episode of How I Met Your Mother (CBS) featuring title character hopeful played by Rachel Bilson and guest star Tim Gunn as – wait for it – Barney’s tailor!

Tuesday, Jan. 12: Grab hold of your loins and get to be assaulted with a one-two punch (another episode airs on the 13th) by a new season of American Idol (FOX) with new judge Ellen DeGeneres.

Wednesday, Jan. 13: A new, delicious episode of Modern Family on ABC.

Thursday, Jan. 14: Consider it Super Thursday with the onslaught of shows that will make your DVR blow up: a new 30 Rock (NBC) with James Franco; an unaired episode of Fringe (Fox) and a new Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) – AND Lifetime airs a new season of Project Runway in hopes to redeem themselves from the most horrid and painful season ever. Being back in New York and familiar faces (hi Nina and Michael!) might help. One more thing, the premiere of Carnie Wilson: Unstapled airs on GSN. The title of the show itself is up for vomit-inducing ridicule.

Sunday, Jan. 17: Mark your calendars for A new season of 24 on Fox as well as the 2010 Golden Globe Awards hosted by funny bloke, Ricky Gervais.

Do you need a stalker? Well, Ali Larter is here to help. In an ingenious bout of marketing for her new girlfight movie, Obsessed (co-starring Beyonce), people can create their own stalker video that can be as accurate as you want. Click here to have Ali go all Fatal Attraction on your ass.

And P.S. – Even though Ali is a psycho in this video, this has to be the coolest thing I found this week. Actually, having Ali stalk you might not be such a bad thing. I mean, in the video she buys concert tickets for you in the aforementioned video. What’s wrong with that?
