Turns out my 'Gossip Girl' prediction of Lily and Rufus having a love child that Rufus didn't know about that sent Lily to the crazy house was pretty much what everyone thought. So I am not as smart as I thought - but I have still been around long enough to predict the outcome of teen drama plots weeks before they happen.
I think the night in college, while sitting in the Towers watching 'Melrose Place', when a very dead Kimberly showed up in the last scene looking at Michael's house is when it all came together for me. The older you get, the better your plot beacon becomes. If you are 15 years old though? That Liliy-Rufus news blew your mind.
So basically I watch the same TV shows as 15 year-olds. No wonder my parents continue to shame me for not watching NCIS: Geriatric Ward and Boston Legal.

BREAKING NEWS: Leno moving to prime time
BREAKING NEWS: Leno moving to prime time on NBC, 5 NIGHTS A WEEK!
OTHER BREAKING NEWS: Ed Hoffman will never be watching NBC again from 9-10 PM central time.
OTHER BREAKING NEWS: Because of this change, now everyone can enjoy Law and Order: Rape, Murder, and Child Molestation at the much more palatable hour of 8 PM central. This decision was for the kids....

SNL Sucks + Molly Sims + Naked Girls
Now my blog is going to get even bigger! I've invited Google searches for naked girls!
No girls here unfortunately, only a very short review of SNL with John Malkovich.
Company holiday party last night and the Mrs. and I didn't get around to SNL until after 1 AM, so whatever I saw might have been better or worse, but I do know this:
-Great to see Amy Poehler surprise cold open -- she was very good and it was a good Clinton sketch.
-Malkovich had a nice monologue and the reading of 'Twas the night before Christmas' was good.
-Breathe Right for your butt? Ok, that one is for the kids...
-Hot office chick squats when she bends over and cannot sing or eat a banana? Fine, whatever...Malkovich was funny.
-Malkovich as a 14 year old girl at a slumber party? Again, sometimes the host makes more out of the material. REMEMBER THAT SNL NEXT TIME YOU CAST TIM MCGRAW.
-Weekend Update? Don't remember any jokes, great to see Amy back, maybe for the last time?
-J*zz In My Pants digital short? Here is the thing, and every podcast we did about SNL will confirm this, but the show is written by late 20/30 somethings making late 20/30 something pop culture references...except, they still love them some dick and fart jokes - as many as they can get into a 90 minute show. The video and song itself were super clever, and Samberg did a good job, and I loved 'D*ck in a Box', but this one just might have stepped over the line. Either that, or I am really in my mid-30s...

It All Adds Up...to cake
Do you watch 'Numbers', I mean 'Numb3rs'? I do. I think it is on Fridays, well, I know its on Friday, but I am trying to make a point -- who cares when its on, some nights I open the DVR like a refrigerator looking for some awesome leftovers, or maybe someone magically put some cold cuts in the meat drawer, or perhaps a rogue cake has taken up residence on a shelf...mmmm....cake. Well that's 'Numbers'. When its there, its like cake. Easy going down, doesn't hurt at all, a pleasant surprise you didn't expect.
I watched one last night because nothing else looked appealing at midnight...should I crack open this season of Earl? Nah....Should I watch Oliva Benson save another rape victim? Too late for that...should I go downstairs and watch 'Fringe'? I knew I should be double recording that one upstairs too....damn. And then there it is -- I like Rob Morrow, I like Dave Krumholtz, I like the FBI dudes, I like the storylines, and it makes me feel smart. Yeah, it does - even though its all bull shit and I retain none of it.
So watch 'Numbers' and enjoy some cake.
Random 'Numbers' trivia nugget....Charlie's girlfriend on Numbers is the same woman who played Ryan's old girlfriend on the O.C. Why is this interesting you ask? It is interesting because on Numbers she is Indian (like from India) and on the O.C. she was hispanic. Wah? A little digging and I found out she is....Indian. I am sure it must have been thrilling for her to break into television as an Indian-American actress only to be cast as a hispanic. And vice-versa, it must be quite enjoyable for out of work latino actresses to see the Indian girl playing them. Just ask those two hot out-of-work latino girls from 'The Nine'...speaking of which, one of them was on 'Numbers' last week...and we've come full circle.

'Gossip Girl' Spoiler Alert
-Girls looked hot
-Storyline continues to be blah
-Chuck wore a sequent tuxedo
-Bart Bass dies, I think, they don't show it and you don't see it, but its true
-Next week Chuck has his dad's dying secret to tell....my guess, and don't hold me to...Lilly and Rufus have a love child...and its going to be someone in their early 20's to 'wreak havoc' on the upper-east siders lives as we know it. I should write this shit for a living. If the secret is anything less impressive than that, then I'm moving on...

Not So Great
I just finished watching last week's 'Fringe' - I'll admit it, I am underwhelmed. Firstly, a serialized drama with conspiracy implications should be more compelling than this. I do like it, I am sticking with it, the shows are good -- I am just not hooked yet. Hopefully tomorrow night's episode will turn the page...it does keep getting better...I think. The good news is, FOX is sticking with it, so I will too.
Off to watch 'Gossip Girl' into the wee hours of the night, someone is going to die -- it might be my hopes and dreams for an alert morning.

Tiny Fey...
So Tiny Fey has that little scar on her face by her mouth - we've all noticed it. She has never talked about it, and why should she, right?
So of course Vanity Fair has to ask her husband about it because that seems like a relevant question:
Mr. Tina Fey, what do you think about your wife's success? How do you think she did as Palin? Aren't you glad she is so rich? What is with that scar on her face?
So he tells Vanity Fair that she was attacked and had her face slashed when she was 5. Woops - great job Vanity Fair.
I am sure this will become a Barbara Walters special that I won't watch and more people will tune into that instead of 30 ROCK WHICH IS SO DAMN GOOD AND GETS NO RATINGS!!
