Workout song of the week: Anything by Pentatonix
The LIVE finale of The Sing-Off is tonight and as you know, I am an avid supporter of my homestate human drum machine quintet of Pentatonix — and they have been filling up iPod shuffle for my daily workouts. (The group members actually have names! Mitch, Scott, Avi, Kirstin and Kevin.) They should feel privileged...
Big John from Can’t Buy Me Love goes Glee
If I cared about Glee as much as I did two years ago, I probably would have known this information already; but while robotically watching last night’s de-virginizing episode (which was fairly decent), I was pleased to see Eric Bruskotter as Coach Beiste’s love interest. I was pleased because he starred as the flatulent dumb...
A faux Community board game based on the “Remedial Chaos Theory”
When the “Remedial Chaos Theory” episode of Community aired, the show cemented itself as one of the most clever TV shows that I pressure all my friends to watch (and if they don’t, I defriend them on Facebook). In the grand tradition of shows like Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks, the show has a...
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake’s final installment of The History of Rap
In an effort to tie the loose end on what Justin Timberlake referred to as their “trilogy” of the History of Rap, J.T. and hand-hugging BFF Jimmy Fallon gave one helluva medley of hip hop songs (OH SNAP! De La Soul‘s “Me Myself and I”!) on Friday’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: Timberlake was on...
My Emmy Predictions for 2011
We are minutes than half an hour away from the 63rd Primetime Emmys and I have been thinking about the nominees and who should and shouldn’t win. That said, I thought I should put in my two cents so I found a ballot on BuzzSugar.com of the top categories and filled out my predictions: As...
Remembering and Obsessing Over “Felicity” Part II: The Power of Elena
A couple of weeks ago, I was on a prolonged Felicity binge (See: Remembering and Obsessing Over “Felicity” (Part I). My obsession has since then passed, but that does not compromise the relevance and value of J.J. Abrams‘s opus to college life. There isn’t one day in my life where a component of Felicity DOESN’T...
‘Watch the Throne,’ ‘True Blood’ and Chico’s: A Hump Day Tweet Report
It’s only Wednesday and my Twitter account is on FIRE! I have been coming up with the most clever tweets since Sunday. From the release of Watch the Throne to the latest bat-shit crazy episode of True Blood, I think I am pretty darn funny — and I may be the only one who thinks...
Remembering and Obsessing Over ‘Felicity’ (Part I)
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably have noticed that I have a slight obsession with the TV show Felicity as of late. I’ve been quoting lines and referencing scenarios of the show as if it was real — which is sad, creepy, fanatical, delusional and joyous all at once. Nonetheless, for the past...
Watching ‘The Voice’ Finale on Fast Forward
I was so busy watching Mary Murphy have a mouthgasm on So You Think You Can Dance that I forgot to watch The Voice finale — but perhaps that’s a good thing. Watching finale episodes of any reality competition on fast-forward is much more efficient. Here is a bullet-pointed re-cap which allowed me to watch...
Melissa Has Fighting Words with Kara on ‘Platinum Hit’
This week, our fearless/tortured songwriting souls on Platinum Hit had to wear their hearts on their sleeves by writing a love song — it’s not as excitingly embarrassing as last week’s rapping extravaganza, but it was sure worth the watch — especially with the loopy Melissa “I’m from huh-WY-E!” Rapp. But before I get to...
Snap Judgments: Cringeworthy Rapping on ‘Platinum Hit’
I think I am one of three people blogging about Bravo’s Platinum Hit — which means I have got the Platinum Hit blogging market totally cornered. I am sure it will bring me fame and fortune. Last night, the singing/songwriting misfits had to create a rap song about a superpower they would like to have....
The Best Highlight From Last Night’s ‘American Idol’ Finale
Last night, the molasses-voiced Scotty McCreery sang his way to the top of the heap of American Idol hopefuls and won the whole shebang. But the highlight of the evening was not his win nor was it J. Lo‘s rump shaking with her hubby Marc Anthony. It wasn’t the sterilized and cheesy group routine to...
