Mirror Mirror on the wall

Who's the fairest of them all?

Thirty-five percent of the British men who responded to a recent survey said they'd trade a year of their life to achieve that goal weight.

Whoa ... Seriously?

My fabulous fashion picks for this year's Emmy Awards


I'll be honest. Something about celebrity award ceremonies seems slightly pretentious to me. Don't stars get enough of a reward for starring in the latest blockbuster or having a chart-topping hit single with their enormous pay checks? Why do we have to fawn over them publicly once more?

I believe my Dad said it best when he wrote.

I find award shows boring and pompous. Can you imagine a world where normal people give each other awards and tell each other how great they are? On second thought, that might actually make the world a better place.

Nevertheless, the day after any award ceremony is always fun one. It's time for the claws to come out and the fashion police to frisk actors who at one time seemed invincible.

Going against the grain, I'd like to take a moment to in this blog identify those celebrities who in my eyes emerged fashionably victorious last night.

Toddlers, tiaras and tattoos ... oh my!

Most people would agree that something about TLC's show Toddlers and Tiaras is just fundamentally wrong.

Three-year-old girls strut down a runway wearing caked on make up and bikinis. Their mothers live vicariously through them, and contestants often feel pressured to succumb to society's ideals of beauty (See a girl about 4-years-old forced to wax her eyebrows below).



But the show's a hit. Why? Well, it's like that bad traffic accident on the interstate. Nobody can look away, and often times I think we can relate.

Writers blazed through True Blood episode with vamp speed



I’ll just go ahead and say it.

Last night’s True Blood was too damn short! Houston Chronicle’s Nathan Venz hit the nail on the head in his review. Perhaps, he said, the reason each episode seems so short this season is because Alan Ball has created far too many storylines for viewers to keep track of.

I agree. While the 5 billion (I exaggerate) plots may morph into one, something is seriously wrong if the show’s main character (telepath Sookie Stackhouse) has only 10 minutes of screen time throughout the 45-minute show.

Here’s all you need to know about “I'm Alive and on Fire.”

"Heads will roll" if Bill angst doesn't end, True Blood fans say

Remember that infamous scene on HBO's break out hit show Game of Thrones where Jeoffrey threatens his betrothed Sansa with the spiked head of her father? Of course you do. First off, it wasn't too long ago. Secondly, it was epic.

Now, fans of director Alan Ball's series True Blood are joining Jeoffrey in his menacing. They say they'll be unhappy if season four doesn't deliver the show's main character, telepath Sookie Stackhouse, out from under her angst-filled relationship with vampire Bill, which has dominated the past three 12-episode seasons.

WARNING: The following post may contain spoilers for those who have yet to watch the first two episodes of True Blood's fourth season.
