Megan as a Guidette

Damn you MTV for creating one of the most brillz TV shows in the world with Jersey Shore and one of the most brillz games/work distractions with the "Jersey Shore Yourself" application. While doing legitimate research for a work project, I stumbled upon this. By going through a series of steps such as hair, wardrobe, accessories, tan level, etc, you can make an avatar of yourself in full guido or guidette mode. And who doesn't want that?

So this is me...obvi. Or "KusKus" as my nickname was back in my days as a Jersey Girl (pronounced like the food). She's probably the only blonde guidette in the world and STILL has an amazing poof, but unfortunately the website made her keep her bra on under the JWoww scarf boob shirt. She only has the second lightest level of tan because realistically that's as far as this Irish guidette can get with her tanning skills. Note the scorpion tattoo on the leg for her zodiac sign, and the drink in hand because she's pretty much always drunk and out at the bar searching for juiced, tan guidos.

The sad part is that I considered making my lil Jersey Shore girl legit work research. Oh my job...

Insert dirty joke right about.....here

From the outside, Woody McHale's looks like it's going to be like any other underground tavern, but inside is much larger and dare I say classier than I expected. There is plenty of wood and plenty of TVs on which to watch sports, but there's a refined rusticness to Woody McHale's that would appeal to anyone from a hunter coming in after a big day of huntin, to a business man after a hard day at the office. And I would highly recommend coming after that hard day at the office, because their happy hour lasts from noon-7pm (nothin like day drinkin!) and includes specials such as glorious $11 buckets of Yuengling. You'll also find a slightly creative selection of bar food including pulled pork sliders...so cute! But for the sake of keeping up my refined rustic toughness, I would refrain from expressing said cuteness and just drink up.
Rating: 3.5 stars

What the world needs now is...

BOYBANDS! Or more specifically The Boyband For The Next Generation. Perez Hilton and some other peepz who are important in the music industry are setting out to assemble the next great male musical ensemble featuring singing, dancing, hair gel and probably some amazing matching outfits. Boys between the ages of 13 and 21 can audition by submitting videos of their talents to the project's website, and PLEASE DO because I need more 13-21 year old boys in the media to drool over.

I could not be more excited about this project, because we all know the best boybands are made by wannabe Svengalis manufacturing acts through mass auditions and forcing together young men who may or may not get along. The only thing that could make it better is doing it in front of a reality TV camera (if they're smart, it will come). I still have every episode of O-Town's Making The Band on video cassette and treasure those precious television and musical moments. Plus, the world in general could use a pick-me-up. 1998-2001 was a pretty upbeat era, and I attribute much of it to Chris Kirkpatrick's dreads and Nick Carter's falsetto. I'll take that stimulus package any day...

Go back to your home on Reality-Whore Island!

Tonight the much anticipated episode of The Bachelor: On The Wings Of Love (couldn't resist typing the full title) aired where a contestant has an "inappropriate relationship with someone in the house". When the extended preview that teased this first started airing I totes thought there was going to be some lesbian action. However, ABC did a botch job of keeping the secret and within two days after last week's premiere the whole world knew that contestant Rozlyn Papa had an affair with a producer.

This really pissed me off because: 1) I HATE reality TV spoilers! 2) How could anyone disrespect the Bachelor process so badly, thus basically disrespecting love in general? And 3) It was so blah and predictable that the perpetrator was the most likely fame whore (and actual whore) in the house.

It didn't take much to see that beautiful yet blase model/make-up artist Rozlyn was only there for the cameras. I hope that she's not planning to add "actress" to her resume after her pathetic performance at being surprised or upset that she was being kicked out of the house. Homegirl could not have cared less, and if she truly was innocent as she has been claiming in recent interviews, I would think she would have fought a little harder to stay in the house and fight for LOVE...or at least another few episodes of air-time.

The ONLY good part of "Leap Year" was...

...Amy Adams's shoes. Homegirl had no personality in this movie, no style, but pair after pair of fierce shoes that she never once complained about while trekking through Ireland's remote countryside.

What "Leap Year" (released January 8th) could have really used was less bad Louis Vuitton puns and more of Matthew Goode shirtless. Then it would have been (almost) tolerable.

Why does MTV hate "Styl'D"?

As much as MTV replays their shows over and over again to the point where I can quote pretty much every line of Jersey Shore (not that that's a bad thing), I've had a hell of a time trying to follow their fashion reality show Styl'D. Styl'D follows five aspiring celebrity stylists as they compete for a job with a top agency. This show barely gets any repeat scheduling and has changed timeslots about three times, leaving me to believe that MTV actually doesn't want us to watch it.

Styl'D premiered on a Sunday night at the beginning of November after one of the most extensive promo campaigns I've seen from MTV in awhile. Commercials for Styl'D ran on numerous other stations including some of the major networks, a rarity for a cable network aimed at a young viewer. Many people I've talked to really liked the show, but I guess it wasn't quite trashy enough for MTV because immediately after the premiere it was moved to Tuesday nights with little notice. Then it completely disappeared for a few weeks while more important Tuesday programming took place like the season finales of The Hills and The City and the premiere of Teen Mom. Then just when I thought Styl'D was gone for good, it started popping up in my DVR on Saturday night...where networks put shows out to pasture to die. Teen Mom permanently took over the Tuesday night 10 Spot, showing that MTV clearly has their priorities straight rewarding oops-moments over young adults working toward their careers.

The season finale of Styl'D airs tonight, and all twelve viewers will find out who has won the celebrity styling job. If Brett doesn't win this ish something is just plain wrong...but the real question is whether the finale will air at all. Stay tuned...
