This makes me happy.
Some people don’t like Community.
Others, like me, LOVE it. Season premiere next week! And you can buy season 1 on DVD on 9/21. I highly recommend it.
QUICK HIT: Lindsay Lohan Failed Another Drug Test
Since I’m sometimes too lazy to compile the ‘And Whatnot’ feature, starting today, I will insert quick little items here and there as I come upon them. I will still do the And Whatnot too, but probably not until next week. I’m just trying to put up more content y’all!
This just in: Lindsay Lohan reportedly failed another drug test. This begs the morbid question: who will live longer at this point? Lindsay Lohan or Fyvush Finkel?
Further details here:

Random Photo Of The Day: Caroline Manzo and Gabourey Sidibe
Happy Friday everyone. While I put together a Housewives post, please enjoy this random photo of Caroline Manzo and Gabourey Sidibe. I don’t know what exactly the two are talking about, but I rather enjoy Gabby’s pensive, pinky-out expression (particularly since I suspect Caroline is most likely pontificating about shaving her face again).
RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: Oh my God. It’s a Sedersaster
We’ve seen a lot of wacky stuff on The Rachel Zoe Project, but the image of Rachel assembling a Passover Seder while wearing a turban and a giant black cloak may truly be the wackiest sight yet. Yes, it was another strange and daffy episode in the world of Zoe, and this one was marked by not only strange culinary impulses, but also lots of bickering. Rodger was crabby as usual, and this time he unleashed his “Rodgertude” during a fun video shoot involving Rachel and Amy Phillips (the comedienne best known for lampooning Rachel herself on YouTube). I was actually really excited to see Rachel and Amy meet face to face, but alas, the scene focused more on the intra-marital drama than anything else (meanwhile, the resultant video was sadly not as amusing as I would have hoped; although, it did have its moments).
Amusingly enough, this drama was followed by Rachel navigating through a local grocery store, an act that was ironically mocked extensively in Amy’s prescient video. Watching Rachel attempt to assemble ingredients (including the dreaded gefilte fish from a jar) was nothing short of hilarious / sad. In the end, she did manage to pull off the dinner, but only because she truly only made a salad and let her workerbees do the rest (which did involve fetching premade items from Whole Foods).
There was also a lot of drama about Rodger wanting a baby and some lame crisis involving Molly Simms and a photoshoot, but we don’t really care about that. Photocap after the jump…

BURIED: This Looks Like The Worst Thing Ever
I’d heard about Ryan Reynolds’ claustrophobic new thriller Buried and was rather put-off by it all, but now that I see the actual trailer, I can say that it truly looks horrifying. It’s pretty self-explanatory: Reynolds’ plays a man buried alive with ninety seconds minutes of oxygen, a lighter, and basically no way to get out. Squirming in full effect here, people. It’s a miracle I even got through the sixty seconds of this trailer.
If you’re feeling brave, take a looksie.

FLIGHT LIVE BLOG: Spirits In The Sky!
Well, here I am again on a trans-con flight with nothing but time on my hands. I was planning on doing something useful like work on my script or write a Jersey Shore photocap, but this flight has proven to be something of an amusing farce so far. I must live blog the events because they are too entertaining for me to keep to myself.
I’m Oprah!
In honor of Oprah’s 25th and final season, her website now offers the ability to “Oprah-fy” yourself via the magic of digital photography and the internets. It’s all pretty self-explanatory, and of course, when my friend Neil sent me the link, I knew I had to give a whirl.
Above, a pic of me Oprah-fied. Perhaps more to come…

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Stolen Moments
The more you watch these Housewives shows, the more they start to seem the same. Take The Real Housewives of DC, whose latest episode began with Tareq Salahi leveling incriminating insinuations against Mary’s daughter Lolly. The allegation was that Lolly was part of a crew that had stolen a $90,000 vehicle belonging to the Salahis (or their charity), but that wasn’t even the biggest offense. No, the most horrifying part of all this was that someone had swiped all the GEAR that was in the back seat. OH NO!!! THE GEAR’S GONE MISSING!!!
Apparently Tareq annoyed the FBI with his stolen items and thus learned that Lolly had made some comment about the whole mess on Facebook. We didn’t get details much beyond that, but from what we could tell, it was all kind of bogus – much like Danielle Staub’s accusations of death threats from the perennially idiotic teen Ashley. Anyway, Tareq made a whole scene about this ridiculousness at a previously lovely (sort of) dinner party at his family’s vineyard, thus bringing a confused and stunned Mary to tears. I’ll just put it out there: making your guests cry is not in the Emily Post handbook.
RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: It’s A Feathersaster!
The quest to find Oscar gowns continued on the latest episode of The Rachel Zoe Project, and as the big Hollywood event neared, tensions flared, mostly thanks to Rodger, who spent much of the hour bitching about not getting to see his wife. I think we all like the guy, but Rachel did have a point when she noted that this happens every year; so why not shut up? Nevertheless, if Rodger didn’t complain, we probably wouldn’t have a show, what with Taylor and her drama now being absent from Team Zoe. Then again, I wouldn’t mind less fighting and more gasps over things like feathers and blazer emergencies. All in a day’s work, I suppose.

The Curse of Hoda?
Saturday Night Live announced its new cast members today (Vanessa Bayer, Paul Brittain, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah), a new class which once again lacks any semblance of a black woman (guess they’ll be recruiting Maya Rudolph for Michelle Obama once again). Not returning for the thirty-sixth season will be Jenny Slate, whose most famous contribution to the show was uttering “fuck” live on the air. This marks the second year in a row that the actress playing Hoda Kotb in the Today Show parodies has been axed after only one season on SNL. The previous (and far superior) Hoda portrayer was Michaela Watkins, whose early termination still bothers me (when I ran into her at a Farmer’s Market in Los Angeles once, I told her as much, and she was very sympathetic and friendly to me. Then again, I think she just wanted to get past me to some squash).
Of course, Jenny Slate’s departure doesn’t irk me nearly as much as Michaela’s Watkins’, mostly because Slate never quite got her sea-legs on SNL (a.k.a she wasn’t that funny). Her exit does, however, raise some serious questions. Can anyone play Hoda without getting fired? And will anyone want to now that the role seems to be cursed? And if no one plays Hoda, how will we get the Hoda and Kathy Lee skits that we so desperately need? This is a serious matter.
