T LO's New Year's Buffet

Let us all be fabulous bitches together.

Darlings, kittens, poodles, and beloved, precious unborn fawns, as the busiest year in T Lo history comes to a close, we find ourselves reflecting. Nothing philosophical, mind you. Who the hell wants to think heavy thoughts when there are just so many light and fluffy ones to choose from? No, the year-end wool-gathering around here has taken a decidedly frivolous turn. Walk with us.

Foremost on our minds is the return of fabulous lizard bitches to our screen with the season 2 premiere of V on ABC, January 4th. We got our grubby little hands on a screener and suffice it to say, Jane Badler as Morena Baccarin's mother Diana is DELICIOUS. Four-inch heels, boobs, tight dresses, big hair, and the best giver of bitchface you ever saw in your life. They've turned the dials up to eleven with this season, it seems. Bigger, louder, more intense. Still a couple of supporting cast members we wouldn't mind seeing killed off, unfortunately. We'll get to it when it comes time to recap, but some of them slow down practically every scene they're in. In the mean time, here's a nice fat preview:



Veering wildly off in another direction, we have something of dire importance to discuss with you, our minions. You see, one of T's Christmas gifts to Lo was the gift of shopping, since there is no greater gift to give Lo. Namely, T told Lo to pick out a brand new wallet for himself. Lo has been scanning the globe for the perfect one and showed it to T last night:
A lovely, respectable Burberry wallet. T recoiled in horror and pushed Lo to think a little outside the box. "Well, there was this other one I had my eye on and it is pretty fabulous..."

From Comme des Garcons. To Tom, this is absolutely a no-brainer and he should have a little fun and pick the beautifully, brilliantly bright wallet. Lo is leaning that way, but still feels the siren call of respectability. Minions, which wallet should T buy for Lo? It is vitally important that you weigh in.

In other scintillating T Lo news, we never made dinner reservations for New Year's Eve like we normally do and when this fact occurred to us last night, we found we didn't care this year. Instead, it's shrimp and pasta for dinner (because it takes ten minutes to make) and then we're settling in to watch both our Inception and Spartacus: Blood and Sand Blu-ray discs, which were also Christmas gifts from T to Lo, because nothing says the holidays like fabulously stylish movies of beautiful people firing guns at each other and ridiculously violent cable shows with heavy doses of full frontal (perfect) male nudity. Violence, style, and homoeroticism, darlings. Isn't that what it's really all about?

What are your plans for the evening? How high would you rate the homoerotic quotient of your New Year's Eve?

Whatever your plans, kittens...



Have a fabulous, safe, and homoerotic New Year! J'ADORE you all.

Reflections on a Blessed Year

The change of a calendar year has always been a time of reflection for me. Even as a kid, I perceived the passing of time as something sacred and solemn. As 2010 draws to a close here in Palm Springs, I find reminders all around me of just how blessed I have been. To make a list of things for which I am grateful would be exhaustive and rather boring for you, gentle reader. But I would be remiss not to acknowledge just a few things for which I am especially grateful; good health, having a home shared with someone special, two beautiful nieces, and pets who bring joy to my life everyday- all these make me very grateful indeed. When I think back just one year ago to the day, I realize just how many blessings have come to me in the year.


It was a strange twist of fate that I will not get into here, but the upshot was the opportunity that presented itself that led to me joining the management team at Natural Balance. Without hesitation, I can say it was one of the best things that ever happened in my life. Over the past year I found a new perspective on work, just from a slightly different angle and it has made all the difference. 

Regular readers know that I deeply believe in karma and the power of positive energy in one's life. Practice random acts of kindness. Think good thoughts. Surround yourself with good energy- and remove any negative energy or toxic situations from your life. You'd be surprised at the results.  

Remember the wise Buddha Wisdom: "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world".

As the remaining hours in this year slip away take a moment to consider what you are grateful for and focus on the positive things. Greet the new year with a clear head filled with positive energy to create the world you want in 2011. I wish you all the best.

Some final questions as we wrap up this year

How fitting to end the year with questions. What’s yours?

Matt starts with a follow-up question about the "how did we handle drinking on CHEERS" post:

Were the actors actually nursing beer?

They were drinking “near-beer”, 3.2 alcohol content, and it was warm. I don’t know George Wendt guzzled all that swill each week.

However, the Heinekens in the writers room were real.

VP81955 asks:

At times I see sitcom episodes directed by cast members, which I presume is one of the "perks" of their contract. What's your experience been like in those situations? Are they looking for diversifying their resume in later years -- in other words, are they genuinely interested in directing as a future endeavor -- and do you assist them when they have to act in a scene?

Some actors are excellent directors. Three that I have worked with are Alan Alda, Kelsey Grammer, and Adam Arkin. There have been other times when actors have directed and the results have been, uh… “less than stellar”. In one case, and I won’t name the actor, anytime he directed it was bizarre. Normally he was the nicest guy in the world, but the minute he stepped onto the stage as the director he became a tyrant, even snapping at his fellow cast members. The next week he was just an actor again and went back to being the sweetest guy on the planet. How the rest of the cast didn't kill I do not know.

On multi-camera shows, when actors direct they pretty much leave all the camera blocking and technical stuff to the camera coordinator. And of course, if you’re blocking a scene without regard to just how you plan to shoot it, you may block it in such a way that is hard or impossible to shoot.  Actors are too close to walls, upstaging each other, in spots where the camera can't find them, etc.  Those camera blocking days can be total nightmares. 

Kelsey was the only one I saw who really studied the cameras and participated in that aspect of the job.

Generally, when an actor directs an episode it’s one in which he’s very light. Some will ask for an objective eye like the first AD and others won’t. Of course actors in long-running series generally know their characters so well that they don’t need much guidance.

Do you know which actor was also a director? Someone I bet you wouldn’t expect. Nick Colasanto, the Coach on CHEERS. He directed tons of episodes of HAWAII 5-0 (the good version), COLUMBO, STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, and even BONANZA.

I wonder if Ron Howard ever asked the producers of HAPPY DAYS if he could direct an episode and they told him to just stick to acting.

From Cedric Hohnstadt:

I'd love to know your thoughts, Ken: Is it possible to train yourself to be creatively "in the zone" when needed or is inspiration something that always strikes on its own random schedule?

If you write for television, especially on staff, you cannot afford to wait for the muse to come along and inspire you. You must train yourself to write on demand. Morning, night, late night, when you’re tired, have a cold, dealing with family issues, ducking a drug cartel – it makes no difference. You’re expected to be productive. This takes discipline, experience, and fear (I mean, “motivation”).

A large part of the job is being able to perform under pressure. During filming nights on multi-camera shows, when a joke bombs the writers quickly huddle and with the cast and crew waiting and two hundred people in the audience impatiently looking on, you’re expected to come up with that new killer line. You can’t say, “Let me go up to my cabin in Arrowhead for the weekend, pour myself some nice Swiss Miss, light a cozy fire, put on my “Pat Boone Sings Heavy Metal” CD, and work on it. I’ll have the joke for you on Monday.” You need it now.  Just like the drug cartel. 

Phillip B wonders:

Have you ever been approached -- or tempted - to work on an "unscripted" show?

I have an idea for an unscripted series. It’s one of those outdoorsman-type shows, where everyone wears hats and totes around rifles. HUNTING THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS. What do you think?

Happy New Year to everyone. Drive carefully tonight.

The guy who built the MASH set comments for this blog

A few weeks ago I posted photos of a MASH set built in someone's backyard.  The person who did that very graciously left this anonymously in the comments section, but I felt it was worth re-posting because as unbelievable as this might sound, not everybody reads the comments.  Thanks much to this person, whoever he is. 

I sold it over a year ago. It's now in a museum.
These pictures were not posted by me. I did not want this attention. Mainly because I could write the "wayyy to much time on his hands" comment in my sleep. These pictures were first posted on a blog I had never heard of by a friend that was last here 2 years ago.
It was something I wanted to build, and I did. Nothing more,nothing less.
I ask you. Has your hobby, or "obsession" been asked to be in a museum? If not. Maybe you need more time on your hands.
Thanks very much to all of you who made kind thoughtful comments.

Victoria Beckham Handbags

Let's talk handbags, ladies.

Vicki Beckham's just put out her first collection of handbags and we have opinions. "Handbags" is probably a misnomer, since at least a couple of these could probably qualify as luggage. The collection was put together with the help of co-designer Kate Hillier and the general concept was "a day in the life of Victoria Beckham," which means several of these bags have special compartments to hold your whip in case someone gets insolent with you.

We joke because we love that skinny old chav.

Anyway, the first bag to become available on netaporter.com sold out within hours. Joke all you want (god knows we have), but the lady does know what she's doing.

Let's take a look so we can form bitchy opinions, mkay?

Vicki's been remarkably successful as a fashion designer, far moreso than we would have predicted. At this point, we'd say she's poised to be one of the few celebrity designers who might actually make a long-term go of it and still be here in ten years, flogging her wares. Part of the reason she's so successful is not because she has great design skills; it's because she is innately chic and that translates to her pieces, none of which could ever be accused of being over-designed. Simplicity and minimalism is what Vicki goes for and it's a smart move. On the other hand, these are so simple and minimal (a more complimentary term would be "classic") that we fear they have no personality at all. They're lovely and we have no doubt they're extremely well made and of the highest quality materials, but considering they'll be retailing in the $1,800-$14,000 range, one would think the buyer would want a little something-something for their money. Then again, we can hardly claim to be among the demographic who purchases $14,000 handbags, so what do we know about their potential success? They look good; as we said, classic and chic. But we wouldn't be able to pick them out of a lineup.

The bags will be available in February at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

IN or OUT: Top 15 OUTs of 2010

Always more fun to be a bitch.

Kittens, you know what's really weird? After we narrowed the worst of the worst down to these worthy fifteen, it occurred to us that four of them were from the last month. Apparently, December is either when stylists go on vacation or they're just trying to fulfill a bunch of promises to designers before the year is out, so they throw together any old POS outfit and call it a day.

15: Angelina Jolie in Versace:

Angelina Jolie attends the 'The Tourist' European premiere at CineStar in Berlin, Germany in Versace.

The Witchie-Poo schtick is getting WAY old.

14: Carey Mulligan in Erdem:

Carey Mulligan attends the Opening Night Gala of "The King's Speech" during day one

of the 7th Annual Dubai International Film Festival in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in Erdem.

Everyone has a bad hair day now and then. The trick is to a)not compound the problem by dressing in leftover wrapping paper, and b) not appear anywhere there will be photographers.

13: Drew Barrymore in Catherine Malandrino:

Drew Barrymore attends the premiere of Warner Bros. "Going The Distance"
held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California in Catherine Malandrino.

That look on her face says it all. "Yeaahhh, guys. Sorry. I TOTALLY overslept."

12: January Jones in Gucci:

January Jones attends the Lionsgate Golden Globe Party at Polo Lounge
at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California in Gucci.

Aw. She looks so proud of herself ("These are my boobs!") we have not the heart to rip her to shreds. But kudos to her for being the only person to make both the "Top 15 INs" and "Top 15 OUTs" post. That's something, right?

11: Salma Hayek in Yves Saint Laurent:

Salma Hayek attends the Yves Saint Laurent Ready to Wear
Spring 2011 show during Paris Fashion Week in YSL, of course.

A strange time and place to stage a salute to Toulouse Lautrec, but whatever floats your boat, stumpy.

10: Christina Aguilera in Atelier Versace:

Christina Aguilera attends "The Unmasking" The Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion Opening Gala held at The LACMA in Los Angeles, California. She wore an Atelier Versace gown, Christian Louboutin shoes and a Christian Dior clutch.

TWENTY-NINE YEARS OLD. Who is advising this poor girl? This is why there should be a governing board for stylists. Because whoever put this together should have their license to style revoked.

9: Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior:

Marion Cotillard attends the Opening Ceremony of the Marrakesh 10th International Film Festival in Christian Dior.

Big, blue French chicken-lady.

8: Jennifer Aniston in Christian Lacroix:

Jennifer Aniston attends The Bounty Hunter Premiere at Cinema Gaumont Marignan in Paris wearing a Christian Lacroix couture gown, Manolo Blahnik sandals, Salvatore Ferragamo clutch bag and Fred Leighton earrings.

We'll give her a little credit for stepping outside her comfort zone. Normally, she goes out looking like she wrapped a towel around herself. This is the first time she's tried the shower curtain.

7: Katherine Heigl in Oscar de la Renta:

Katherine Heigl attends the premiere of "Killers" held at ArcLight Cinema's Cinerama
Dome in Hollywood wearing an Oscar de la Renta combo and Burberry shoes.

On the Good Ship Shitty Hair and Mismatched Pieces.

6: Katie Holmes in Louis Vuitton:

Katie Holmes attends the Variety's 2nd Annual Power Of Women Luncheon
at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills in a modified Louis Vuitton dress.

You can wipe the smug look off your face, sister. Having your stylist staple your dress together is nothing to be proud of.

5: Julianne Moore in Lanvin:

Julianne Moore attends the Gala Premiere of 'The Kids Are All Right'
during the 54th BFI London Film Festival at Vue West End in London in head-to-toe Lanvin.

Basically, it's this:



... in dress form.

4: Liv Tyler in Christian Dior:

Liv Tyler attends the Dior celebration of the reopening of its 57th Street Boutique
at the LVMH Tower Magic Room in New York City in Christian Dior, of course.

Someone needs to tell Arwen she's aging now.

3: Gwen Stefani in Lamb:

Gwen Stefani attends the L.A.M.B. Spring 2011 fashion show after party at Mr. Brainwash during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City wearing one of her designs.

Tragic tribal.

2: Anne Heche in Zac Posen:

Anne Heche visits "Late Show With David Letterman"
at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City in Zac Posen.

It strikes that perfect balance between "crazy woman on the subway who smells like urine" and "walk of shame."

1: Leighton Meester in Versus:

Leighton Meester attends Fashion's Night Out: The Show at Lincoln Center in New York City in a Versus dress paired with Christian Louboutin Venus Orlato 140 Ankle Boots.

We really don't understand how one arrives at this point. Presumably there was a mirror somewhere along the way. "Let's see, it makes my boobs look small, my stomach look like it's threatening to break free, and it's all puffy around my hips and ladybits. PLUS: SHINY BLUE SATIN! I look cheap AND misshapen! Don't even wrap it up, I'm wearing it out to my car!"

My Best & Worst of 2010

Every blogger is pretty much obligated to do this.  So here are my Best & Worst in all the important categories. 

BEST ENGAGEMENT – Tie: Shania Twain, who is marrying the ex-husband of the woman who cheated with her husband. And Hugh Hefner (84) & Crystal Harris (24). So Christie Hefner will be 34 years older than her new mother. Personally, I think Hef is just settling, but that’s just me.

BEST MOVIE – SOCIAL NETWORK (and not just because Aaron Sorkin wrote a piece for this blog). I hear THE KING’S SPEECH is great but haven’t seen it. So I may change my mind.  That happened once before.  2004.  MYSTIC RIVER was my ultimate favorite but originally I had said FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY. 

BEST COMEDY MOVIE –


BEST MOVIE I WILL NEVER SEE – 127 HOURS. I don’t care how good it is, I’m not going to watch a movie where a guy cuts off his own arm. I didn’t like it when it was suggested for an episode of FRASIER, and I don’t like it now.

WORST MOVIE I WILL NEVER SEE – LITTLE FOCKERS. I’d rather cut off my own arm.

BEST MOVIE THAT’S STILL A CONFUSING MESS – INCEPTION.  Wow but huh?

BEST TV DRAMA – THE GOOD WIFE. Sorry MAD MEN but THE GOOD WIFE has evolved into a spectacular show. Each episode is so layered, so engrossing, and yet seems so effortless. Other than Christine Baranski, I care about every single character. What’s so amazing is that this is a show on a broadcast network. Please let there not be a spinoff like THE GOOD WIFE: MIAMI.


BEST SINGLE EPISODE OF TV – Okay, this one I give to MAD MEN. The show where Peggy and Don spend a long night together, written by Matthew Weiner, is worthy of Chayefsky.

BEST TV COMEDY – MODERN FAMILY.  One of the few sitcoms these days that is funny but won't sacrifice character or story for a laugh. 

BEST 3-D MOVIE – LA BETE, starring David Hyde Pierce. The actors seemed so lifelike I actually thought I was in the same room with them. Oh wait, LA BETE is a play. I was in the same room with them. Okay. I can’t see 3-D. So I have no idea.


BEST BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIFE – Camille


WORST BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIFE – Camille


BEST FINALE – LOST. They wrapped up most everything and brought Elizabeth Mitchell back. 


WORST FINALE – Larry King.  As with LOST, it spent the last year in the afterlife.


BEST ACTRESS IN A MOVIE – Annette Bening. I don’t care what Meryl Streep was in this year.


BEST ACTRESS WHO PLAYS AN IDIOT – Rebecca Hall in THE TOWN.

BEST CANCELED SHOW -- TERRIERS

BEST FIRING – Kara DioGuardi off AMERICAN IDOL.  Why it took two years and not two minutes I'll never know. 


BEST FIRING ALTHOUGH SHE SAYS SHE QUIT BUT WHO WE KIDDING? – Ellen DeGeneres off AMERICAN IDOL


BEST WRITING STAFF THAT WAS FIRED – WALKING DEAD


BEST TALK SHOW SIDEKICK – the robot on Craig Fergeson.


BEST COMEBACK – Betty White.  I've loved her on all seven TV shows she's been on and all twelve movies. 

WORST COMEBACK – David Hasselhoff. He’s won this category eight years running.


BEST CABLE SHOW YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN HEARD OF – JUSTIFIED on FX. Tim Olyphant is a great lead, the characters are all very rich, and ignorant anti-Semite red neck assholes get shot every week.  I hope Mel Gibson guests next season.

BEST NEW BOOK – Mark Twain’s Autobiography. Shania’s ex tells-all!


BEST DOCUMENTARY – WHO IS HARRY NILSSON? If you have to ask that question yourself you should really see it.

BEST AWARD SHOW HOST – Jimmy Fallon, the EMMYS

WORST AWARD SHOW HOST – Chelsea Handler, the VMA’s


BEST AWARDS SHOW – Southern California Sportscasters Association awards lunch. Hey, gimme a break. I was one of the winners.

WORST CROSSOVER PORN STAR – Sasha Grey on ENTOURAGE. It’s tough when you have to use your mouth to talk.

WORST STATUE UNVEILED – Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig at Miller Park, Milwaukee.

BEST STATUE UNVEILED – Tom Selleck in BLUE BLOODS.

BEST NEW VIDEO GAME – Anything created by the other Ken Levine. I keep hoping I get his royalties by mistake.

TFS S2E6: House of Emerald

To the bitter end.

We're having the same reaction to this collection as we had to Nami's. Namely, we don't understand why the judges were so pissed off. This isn't a perfect collection; you could even argue it's not a very good one. But it's not the worst we've seen this season. Maybe the judges just had it with the cumulative mediocrity and this week's entries were the straw that broke Iman's back. Let's go to the tape.

House of Emerald Look 1:

House of Emerald Look 2:

We're grouping the bathing suits together because they're bathing suits and because they're Cesar's. Are these awful? Not really. A little standard perhaps, but we liked the colors and the styling. We also thought doing bathing suits was a smart way to slip in some extra looks while staying on theme. We don't like the big ruffle on the turquoise suit and we think too much stuff was piled on the poor girl in the orange one, but these were hardly disastrous.

Cesar:

This isn't great, but Cesar was at least partially right that mixing the discordant prints would have more of a high-fashion feel to it. The top looks fine but we're not sure anyone could have made the print on those pants work. The shrug is interesting and it goes with the top, but putting all three pieces together means all of them work slightly less well than they should. Basically, the pants needed to go.

Cindy:

Oh, look. Another dress from Cindy that looks like millions of other dresses you can buy anywhere.

David:

You have to laugh, because if ever there was a way to invoke sheer desperation in clothing, this would be it. You can practically see the point at which he realized he made a boring, shitty dress. Somewhere between adding the scarf and adding the hat, we'd say.

Darlings, it's a slow week here at T Lo. We're game for posting, but it seems most of our readership has fled to party away the week. Good for them, we say. We're not going to bother with a T LOunge post because we fear the turnout would be abysmal. Make this your watering hole for the week. Johnny Weir and Rachel Zoe will be sitting in the judges' seats tonight, so this should be interesting. Whoops! Never mind!
