TV Addict: Stylista Is Already So Last Season

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:06:00 PDT

Ripping Anne Slowey, the real-life magazine editor and star of The CW's Stylista, is already so five minutes ago. The bloggers have been vicious, and the show doesn't even premiere until Wednesday night.

Granted, the Elle editor does a poor imitation of Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada that fairly begs to be mocked: "I only take iced lattes with a small straw. I don't do almonds unless they're soaked overnight. Melons should never be mixed with any other fruit."

But Slowey herself…

TV Addict: Celebrity Smackdown: Britney Spears vs. Sarah Palin

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:42:00 PDT

Now that Sarah Palin has usurped her role as America's favorite g-droppin', country-talkin', can't-take-our-eyes-off-her trainwreck, what's Britney Spears to do, y'all?

Even former Britney pal Paris Hilton is cozying up to the Republican VP nominee and giving her fashion advice (via Harper's Bazaar). Next thing you know, we'll be seeing pictures of Palin exiting limousines sans underwear in the tabloids. Palin even one-upped the Spears clan in the scandalous teen pregnancy department. In:…

TV Addict: The Real Housewives Take Atlanta

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:42:00 PDT

Could there be a worse time to debut a new season of excessive materialism that is Bravo's Real Housewives franchise?

Apparently, The Real Housewives of Atlanta didn't get the memo about the economy, or else they're single-handedly trying to revive it. In this week's premiere, Sheree throws herself a lavish birthday party complete with designer cake shaped like a Louis Vuitton handbag; NeNe hires a makeup artist and hairstylist to come to her house and help ready her for a night out; and Kim…

TV Addict: Project Runway Gets Interesting, Only Not Onscreen

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:42:00 PDT

Finally! Something interesting is happening to Project Runway. Sadly, it's not happening onscreen, where this snoozefest of a season continues to limp to the finish line. Despite a cavalcade of A-List guest judges, season five of Runway just didn't make it work. Even J-Lo knows it -- she begged out of the season finale at the last minute claiming a foot injury. Interesting that she managed to complete a triathlon in Malibu the next day.

Now comes a juicy unexpected twist in the ongoing legal…

TV Addict: Paris Hilton's New Reality Show Is Not Your Friend

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 07:38:00 PDT

So Paris Hilton has a new reality show, which probably means she's on the short list to host the Emmys next year. Let's be honest, she couldn't be any worse than Heidi Klum & Co. I think the Academy is actually considering taking back the Best Reality Host category after seeing how its nominees butchered the ceremony. Thanks for nothing, Seacrest!

Speaking of, Ryan Seacrest seems like the ideal candidate for Paris' new MTV reality series, Paris Hilton's My New BFF. They're already business…

TV Addict: Lauren Conrad Defies Universe, Gets Book Deal

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:18:00 PDT

Lauren Conrad continues to defy the laws of celebrity and the greater universe: The 22-year-old reality star and aspiring fashion designer has inked a book deal. Yes. LC is now writing fiction, which I suppose is a step up from filming a fictional TV show and calling it reality, which is what she does on The Hills.

But the important takeaway from this is that LC now has three careers, makes millions of dollars per year and is undoubtedly dumber than you are. You are reading, see? I'm pretty…

TV Addict: Top Ten Brenda Walsh Moments on Beverly Hills, 90210

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:25:00 PDT

The 90210 spinoff premieres this week on The CW, which is significant only in that it marks the return of Shannen Doherty to the zipcode that made her famous. (Or infamous. Whatever.)

Let's be honest, no one cares about the new class of West Beverly. We just want to see another Brenda-Kelly catfight! In honor of this momentous occasion, I present the Top 10 Brenda Moments on the original Beverly Hills, 90210:

10. Brenda loses her virginity at the Spring Dance. ("Do you know why I'm so lucky?…

TV Addict: I Got Jilted By New Bachelor Jason Mesnick

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:23:00 PDT

Sure, he plays a nice guy on TV, but Jason Mesnick is not above giving a girl his number, saying he'll be in touch and then disappearing. I know this because it happened to me. That's right. I got jilted by ABC's new Bachelor. TV Addict tells all!

Granted, I wasn't trying to date him. Seattle's a small town, so it's no surprise that I'm one or two degrees of separation from America's most eligible single father. My friend's husband golfs with Mesnick, and I used to run into him at parties six or…

TV Addict: Rachel Zoe's New Reality Show Is Bananas Amazing

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:12:00 PDT

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is the guest judge on Project Runway next week, which is as good an excuse as any to discuss her upcoming reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project (premieres Sept. 9 on Bravo). The glut of celebrity guests on Project Runway this season is bordering on offensive, but at least Zoe is qualified to judge a runway competition. Unlike Brooke Shields, who hasn't been a "fashion icon" since the 1980s but has a show to promote on sister channel NBC, and Apolo Anton Ohno, whose…

TV Addict: Is Lauren Conrad The New Paris Hilton?

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:08:00 PDT

There's no escaping Lauren Conrad of The Hills, who appears to have achieved the baffling level of fame previously reserved for the famous-for-being-famous Paris Hilton. Like Paris, Lauren has wealthy parents, vapid friends, a reality show starring said vapid friends, a rumored sex tape and a penchant for oversized sunglasses.

She's even famously feuding with former best friend Heidi Montag, which is sooo Paris and Nicole, circa 2005. Speaking of, Lauren really needs to come up with a…
