Confirmed via youtube video Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother 11 are officially an item. I guess it is back to the drawing board on who I want to be the next Bachelor.. I am super happy for them and hope they can stick it out. Perhaps they can get their own reality show now.

I need $37K stat!
How did I not know that Jeffrey Donovan was auctioning off an opportunity to guest star on Burn Notice and that the winner would also get to kiss him on screen. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!The sexy actor auctioned off not one but two walk-on roles on his hit USA spy show for a whopping $36,000 at his pal Michael Bolton's 17th annual benefit concert for women and children at risk. After two women got into a bidding war over a chance to be near him he said they both could have walk on rolls AND a kiss! Obviously I wasn't there or the two woman would be dead and I would be kissing Jeffrey Donovan right now..
Big Brother Finale
And the winner of Big Brother 11 is... Jordan!!!!! Proving that blondes are not so dumb after all Jordan won the last HOH competition securing her spot in the final two.My heart was racing during the intense competition between Kev and Jordo. I was thrilled Jordan beat out Kevin and chose to take Nat to the end. Jordan had a much better shot at the money against Natalie then Kevin.
When Jordan won I started screaming. Screaming! I am not even joking, my throat is killing me today. I don't know why I was yelling, no one is sharing the money with me.
I was really hoping for a better reunion between Jeff and Jordan but she seemed to snub him after she won. I hope she was just caught up in the excitement and that they get together after the show. If not, I could always forward my letters to ABC to cast Jeff as the next Bachelor.... I still can't believe we may never see Jeff again...
I am thrilled of the outcome and I can not wait for next Season!!
True Blood Gossip
The True Blood Season Finale was a little disappointing. We spent half the Season watching Maryanne the Manead and then she was killed in ten minutes. The entire scene made no sense and their justification was lackluster. The Bill/Sookie engagement came out of nowhere and we only saw Eric for 5 minutes. Sigh... I found an interview with Alan Ball that has tons of information for next season. MAJOR SPOILERS BEWARE!Some folks were surprised by the structure of the finale and your decision to wrap up the Maryann story in the first 30 minutes.
Alan Ball: I try to look at the show as basically almost like it’s a novel, and each episode is a chapter. I guess I’m influenced by the fact that when I watch TV shows, I watch the (DVD) boxed sets. Ultimately, it’s just organically the way it worked out. And the season finale last year was very similar.
Why wasn’t there more Eric in the finale?
Ball: There is a reason for not seeing Eric in the last part of the episode, but if I explain it, I’ll be (giving away) too much.
Will he be prominent next season?
Ball: Yes. I had many seasons of Eric planned.
Speaking of which, are you surprised at how passionate the Sookie/Eric fans are?
Ball: Yes. I try not to get involved in that because it just sort of — it’s too confusing. I don’t want it to influence what the show is. Personally, I’m like, yes, Eric’s hot, but beyond that he’s dangerous, and I don’t know if he’d love anybody besides himself. What’s the appeal there? The bad boy? The danger?
Why wasn’t Sookie susceptible to Maryann’s powers but Jason was? Do they have different parents?
Ball: They have the same parents. We will find out what Sookie is (next season). There are such things as dominant and recessive genes. Maybe Jason is fundamentally human but he has a trace of some non-human stuff. He’s kind of a ridiculously perfect (human being). He’s athletic and has that charisma thing, so maybe he had some help in that regard. (Laughs) Ultimately, if you look at percentages, he’s mostly human. Sookie has a stronger genetic predisposition in another direction. People who have read the books know exactly what I’m talking about. People who haven’t, it will be revealed.
What’s up with the Queen’s Yahtzee obsession?
Ball: You’re 400 years old. What are you going to do? It’s something we came up with in the room and we thought it was funny.
Fans are polarized about Evan Rachel Wood as the Queen. A big complaint is that she doesn’t come off scary enough.
Ball: She will. You don’t want to introduce a character you’re going to see later and blow your wad up front. It’s funny because the fans are so rabid. Of course, that’s fantastic. And the fact that they’re so completely wrapped up in the show and they get upset and they think, “I don’t like that!,” I love that. It means people are watching and the show is really affecting them. I think of the show as having a long life. You can’t explain everything and blow your wad in the first episode the first time time you introduce a character. All I can say is keep watching. It will make sense.
Will she return next season as a series regular?
Ball: She won’t be a series regular, but she will appear. Every state has its own vampire royalty. We will meet the King of Mississippi. Interesting things happening between him and Evan’s Queen.
As much as I loved Michelle Forbes’ portrayal of Maryann, the story felt like it dragged on a little long. Why did it take her so long to get to the endgame?
Ball: That’s part of what the queen talks about. They’re always improvising. She really can’t conjure up a God. But she’s so fervent in her belief; she keeps trying this sacrifice and that sacrifice. She’s completely delusional. She killed Miss Jeanette and I think she thought that was going to work. She always thinks it’s going to work. It never does because the God who comes never actually comes. But she so fervently believes that he will, and she’s been believing it for thousands of years. That’s how they were able to outsmart her.
Have we seen the last of her?
Ball: Yes, she’s gone. They destroyed her. She will never rise —which I hate because I love (Michelle), and she was so much fun to work with. She’s really delightful and everyone loves her and we hated to kill her but we had to.
How closely will you follow the third book next season?
Ball: We take the gist of the books, (but) we will depart whenever we feel like it makes better television as opposed to reading. We continue to use the books as templates. But now that I’ve read all nine books there are things that are revealed in later books that we are moving up so that they’ll probably happen in the show earlier than they do in the books.
Will you introduce Alcide?
Ball: Yes.
Have you cast him?
Ball: No. We will also meet Sam’s blood relatives, the super bad vampire Franklin Mott, we’ll meet Debbie Pelt, we will also meet the people who live in Hotshot a little bit ahead of schedule. We’ve already broken four episodes and I’ve spent two writers out with scripts over hiatus.
Have we seen the last of the Fellowship of the Sun?
Ball: No. Just because Steve got humiliated, they still exist. And maybe he’s angrier than ever.
The fact that Jason killed Eggs has me thinking you might restart the Jason-Tara love story next season. Will you?
Ball: Certainly, Jason is going to be consumed with guilt. And he’s going to feel like, “I’ve ruined her life and I’ve got to make her feel better.” Whether that’s wise in any way shape or form remains to be seen. I think Tara certainly gave up on her obsession with Jason, but now that she’s dealing with the worst thing that ever happened to her, she might be more vulnerable to his charms.
Is Tara ever going to be in a happy relationship?
Ball: Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don’t want to watch them on TV.
Any plans to give Lafayette a boyfriend?
Ball: Yes.
Anything imminent?
Ball: Nothing I can talk about. But certainly we will see more and more of Lafayette. He built a lot of walls around himself. But we will see him get vulnerable next year — and not just being afraid of Eric.
Any regrets killing off Godric? As I’m sure you’re aware the character was very well-received.
Ball: There’s no regret in killing him off because I think that (story was) really powerful. That was my favorite thing about the second book. However, we can always go back in history. He and Eric had a relationship for a thousand years. We can always go back and see him again.
Are Hoyt and Jessica doomed?
Ball: They still love each other. But there will be problems — as you probably could tell based on last night’s episode.
You do realize how awesome those two are together, right?
Ball: I totally know that.
How long do we wait for the next season?
Ball: It’s probably going to premiere around the same time it did this year. We’re going to try to shoot one episode before the Christmas break. I don’t know if HBO will bring the show back earlier, but it certainly won’t be later.
Is there anything I’m forgetting to ask you?
Ball: I’m surprised you didn’t ask who took Bill.
Who took Bill?
Ball: It was Hoyt’s mother.
Nobody puts baby in the corner.. RIP Patrick Swayze
My heart aches with the news that Patrick Swayze has passed away. I have been obsessed with all things Dirty Dancing and especially Patrick Swayze for as long as I can rememeber. When I graduated from 6th grade my parents got me a huge poster and the soundtrack to the movie that I listened to over and over on our record player. To this day that is the only album I still own. Anytime Dirty Dancing comes on television I will stop what I am doing to watch, it never gets old.Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor and amazing dancer. When diagnosed with cancer he was so strong, refusing to give in to the disease. In a recent interview, with his wife Lisa by his side, you could feel the love radiating between the two of them. I pray she will find peace and take solace in knowing that he touched many lives with his talent and courage. RIP Patrick Swayze. I will miss you.

The douchebag award goes too...
It looks like Michael Lohan, Jon Gosselin and Kanye West are all in the running for the biggest douchbag award. At the moment Kanye West is in the lead since he stood up during the VMA's while Taylor Swift was accepting her award to announce that Beyonce really should have won. Are you kidding me? What does this have to do with him? Does he represent Beyonce in some way that I am unaware of? How dare he ruin such a shining moment in Taylor Swift's career. I strongly feel that he should be banned from future events. He is not as talented as he thinks he is and really needs to learn how to shut his mouth. I am surprised him and his ego were able to even fit in the auditorium. Since the incident he has issued numerous half ass apologizes and the only time we have seen real emotion was when Jay Leno called him out and asked how his recently deceased mother would have reacted. Shame on Kanye! It is pretty amazing that a 19 year old girl showed more class then he could ever have. The only person smiling at this moment is probably Chris Brown..he's getting a breather from negative press for a moment..

Glee
This show makes me want to sing. Literally. I can't get the Glee rendition of Gold Digger out of my head. These kids are so talented and the Glee teacher is adorable!! There were times it was obvious that they were lip syncing but I think it was just poor cinematography that made it so blatant. It has a lot of potential and I will be tuning in next week. Doe Rey Mi Fa So La Ti Doeeeeeeee!
