Stylista: Rewind

Stylista cast>This week’s episode of Stylista gave us a recap of the season thus far with the promise of salacious never-before-seen footage. Sadly, the new scenes were few and far between and not nearly scandalous enough. We have to admit that Arnaldo reciting his poetry to the house and a three-page goodbye letter from Jason rate low on the excitement meter.

But leave it to Megan and Kate to liven things up as usual. When Kate’s not throwing her weekly team under the bus or stomping around like at two-year-old when she doesn’t get her way, she’s actually quite the comedian. Her spot-on impersonations of Anne crack up the house in a brief moment of relaxation. This bonding moment doesn’t last long when Kate and Johanna exchange heated words. It’s hard to side with Johanna on this one. She is uptight and although we wish her well in this contest, she’d go further if she could just rid herself of that stick up her you-know-what.

In between reliving each and every assistant task and editorial challenge, we got to see more of Megan’s wily ways. She calls Kate delusional and sits up late at night with DyShaun to ridicule Danielle about her weight. We’re pretty sure we heard something about Danielle sitting on Megan during this repulsive pillow talk session. After last week, we thought Megan was –thankfully – above going for the jugular in relation to Danielle. If you’re going to make fun of someone, try being creative about it instead of using the obvious. It’s just a shame that Danielle had to overhear their muttering.

We can’t wait till next when we find out who leaves next. We missed the dramatic tension. What did you think? Did you glean any new insight into the personalities of our contestants from the extra footage?

Gossip Girl's Second Season: What We're Loving (And Hating)

Gossip Girl Season Two Cast Picture
Gossip Girl kicked off Season Two with a trip to the Hamptons, spiced things up with some royally incestuous guest stars, and moved on to Chuck/Blair angst, a new man for Serena, the crumbling of the Archibald estate, and a whole lot of Jenny (too much?). We've been enjoying the second season, but in the spirit of constructive criticism, we have some suggestions that could make it even better. Let's discuss!

What we love about Season Two:

*The sexual tension between Chuck and Blair is off the charts. We don't know how the actors do it, but Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester have managed to dial up the chemistry a notch -- and that's saying something after some of Season One's hot Chair scenes.

*Some of our favorite Chuck/Blair scenes this season? Chuck revealing why he skipped out on Tuscany: "I didn't want you to see." "See what?" "See me." Then there was the clothes-on seduction at Blair's party: "Where does he... put his hands?" And finally, the almost-getting-it-on bedroom scene where Blair refused to say those three little words... and then Chuck refused her. For now, at least.

*She only appeared for like, five seconds, but Evil Queen Bee Serena was deliciously fun to watch. Remember that scene when she robotically tied a scarf around Blair's neck? And what about when she effortlessly convinced the entire school to shun Dan in the courtyard? S may be flighty and sweet most of the time, but when she wants to be, she can out-bitch the best of them.

*Nate's really coming into his own. Crashing in Brooklyn, sleeping with a cougar-turned-duchess, bonding (in more ways than one -- and we'll get to this in a minute) with the Humphreys -- Nate really evolved this season. We don't remember him doing much more than dumping Blair and palling around with Chuck in Season One, but this year, he's gone from Park Avenue to paper plates in just a few episodes. Forgive us if we confess to a little tug at our heartstrings in the last new episode when Nate held his mom as the FBI led his shady dad off to jail. The poor kid's put up with so much! And he's so PRETTY. Is it just us, or does Nate look even better this season?

*Most polarizing character of the season award? We're thinking that one has to go to not-so-little-anymore Jenny Humphrey, whose school-skipping, dress-stealing, shirtless-dancing and Nate-kissing new ways had the fandom abuzz with both support (She's growing up! this is her time! she deserves to give fashion a shot!) and scorn (She's a spoiled brat who thinks of no one but herself!). Whether you loved her or hated her, you've got to admit that Jenny certainly kept things interesting this season.

*Serena and Dan are broken up. Yeah, they were cute in the first season -- sometimes cloyingly so. But by episode 3 this season, their elevator fight had us screaming right along with them. This is one couple that will seriously benefit from some time apart. As Serena said to Dan, "Why do you always get to be right?" Why, indeed!

Read on for what we're NOT loving so much in Season Two... and what would make it better!

What we don't love about Season Two:

*Serena's wardrobe. It has to be said. In the first season, our resident blond It girl rocked blazers, boots, scarves, and Chanel -- sometimes all in one outfit. But lately, she's looking less and less like someone we'd want to emulate. That horrid gold-and-red satin dress? The orange mini? The cut-down-to-THERE socialite gowns? They scream LA starlet, not New York socialite. Bring back boho-chic Serena!

*The lack of relationships. Sure, the season started with a bang -- Nate and Catherine were hot and heavy, and both Serena and Dan and Blair and Chuck teased us with possibilities, only to fall flat within an episode or two. Then we got Blair and Marcus, a relationship with all the spice of white bread, and the very short-lived (like one episode's worth) Nate/Vanessa Nate/Jenny back-and-forth. Season One was all about relationships and dramatic love triangles (think Vanessa/Dan/Serena, Serena/Blair/Nate, and Blair/Nate/Chuck), but we haven't had half as much relationship drama this season.

*The lack of SEX! For a show that advertises itself as a parent's worst nightmare and "very bad for you," the characters have been downright G-rated lately. Okay, Gossip Girl was never quite as scandalous as its advertisers want us to think it us, but what happened to good old-fashioned getting it on? We saw plenty of it in Season One (think Nate/Serena wedding flashbacks, Nate/Blair in "Hi, Society," Blair/Chuck in the limo, and Rufus and Lily on her wedding day), but with the exception of Nate and Catherine's romps, this season just hasn't brought the sex. Blair and Chuck came close, but somehow managed to show restraint. Writers, please, give us just one steamy sex scene -- and please don't make it between Serena and Aaron.

*Speaking of Aaron: bland guest stars. Catherine kept things interesting for a few episodes, but Marcus and Aaron just don't do it for us, and we can't imagine what kept Blair and Serena sticking around. Our Gossip Girl heroines are gorgeous, witty, and well-dressed, but the same cannot be said for the love objects Season Two presented them with. We love seeing the girls with some new guys, but at least make them worthy of B and S's affections!


That's our take, but we know we haven't touched on everything -- not even close. That's where you come in! What do you love and loathe about Season Two? Are you as hooked as you were on Season One? What would make this season even better -- and what should not be changed at all? Tell us all in the comments!

Reasons to be Thankful

The CW Cornucopia
As we prepare for the annual Festival of Starch and tryptophan-induced food coma that is Thanksgiving, we've been pondering the things we're thankful for this season on the CW. Here's what's running through our heads as we count our blessings this year:

Gossip Girl

  • Chuck Bass, always and forever.
  • Jenny Humphrey finally washed off the Heavy Eye Liner of Rebellion. We like our fresh-faced Little J!
  • Nate is starting to get interesting! We can't say we agree with his method of choosing a girlfriend (like Jackie says, he apparently dates anyone who's standing in front of him at that moment), but we're liking the Nate/Jenny/Vanessa dynamic.

One Tree Hill

  • The Scott Family -- Nathan, Haley and Jamie. It's great to see such a loving young family on TV!
  • The folks on One Tree Hill are still able to surprise us, either by going for a completely cheeserific theme episode, or by turning up the dial on the drama, like in the most recent episode.
  • Nanny Carrie is seriously, honestly, not-coming-back dead. We don't mind Ghost Q, but we better never see Nanny Carry haunting anyone!

90210

  • Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty are back on TV -- and back in our favorite zip code -- in one of the buzziest shows of the new season.
  • Dixon and Silver -- they're such a sweet, grounded, drama-free couple!

Privileged

  • Megan and Will finally hooked up -- and it was just as adorable as we expected!
  • Sage -- she's such a fabulous mean-girl character, but we can still see the heart hidden behind her sometimes witchy actions.
  • Charlie and Megan are still friends despite everything that's happened.

America's Next Top Model

  • Tyra has maintained a steady-- and amusing -- level of crazy over the last season.
  • Mr. J actually got to participate in the judging for once! We love his perspective on the models.

Stylista

  • Megan. Let's face it, without this little shrew to hate week after week, the show wouldn't pack quite the same punch. Same goes for Kate.
  • Johanna's shoulders. This fashion plate rocks out the shoulders in every high-neck outfit and we just love clavicles.
  • The Elle fashion closet. Give us another peek, please!
  • Joe Zee. Elle's creative director is way more comfortable on camera than the stoic Anne. We'd work for him any day.

Smallville

  • That lovely kiss Davis planted on Chloe. We love Jimmy, but we're game for another love triangle to shake things up.
  • The wedding. Sure, it ended in blood and crushed limbs, but for a half an hour we had a picture-perfect bride, a stunning best man and we even felt a little tugging at our heartstrings when Lois thought Clark was professing his love instead of just reading Jimmy's vows out loud.
  • Davis shirtless. We don't care if he's a monster, just keep him half-dressed!

Supernatural

  • Kripke continues to push the envelope. We never would have imagined he'd be able to pull off adding angels to the mix, but it's turned out to be an amazing addition.
  • Speaking of angels... Misha Collins, who just adds to both the acting prowess AND the hotness quotient on the show!
  • The boys -- no matter what happens, Jensen and Jared will ALWAYS keep us coming back. They're great actors, and even better human beings!

And more!

  • Reaper will be returning this winter -- we've missed Sam, Sock and Satan!
  • You! We love how passionate you are about your shows -- and that you comment on our posts, our podcasts, and our videos. We wouldn't be able to do that without you!
  • A bit of time off! Yes, we know you want season-two OTH and Supernatural podcasts over the break, but we're going to take the opportunity to rest our vocal chords and see our families in different parts of the country. We'll still be posting, but we won't be podcasting until we're all in the same state at the same time again. Sorry -- but we're glad you guys care enough to ask for more!

What about you? What are you thankful for when you look back on the CW so far this season? Talk about it in the comments!

One Tree Hill Podcast: "You Have to be Joking (Autopsy of the Devils Brain)"

Listen Now

It;s another week of rare unanimity from us on One Tree Hill -- we all loved this episode! There were so many twists, so many surprises, and so many moments that we just couldn't get enough of. The Beek! Millie and Owen! Sam finds out she's indirectly responsible for Brooke's attack! Peyton and Mia spar! Julian turns out to be a good guy! Nathan kicks butt on the basketball court! And then Sam goes off with the guy who killed Q, all over the sound of Jamie reading one of the world's creepiest nursery rhymes! Fantastic, start to finish!

See? We told you he wasn't a bad guy!

Lucas gets sent off to L.A. to meet with a hot director, and while they don't actually call him Dawson Leery, he may as well be Dawson grown up and gone Hollywood. James van der Beek has a fabulous time chewing scenery as an over-the-top director who loooooooves Lucas' script, and just wants to make a few teeny changes -- like killing Haley, or having Lucas marry Haley! Meanwhile, Peyton is at home, suffering in silence as he waits for the results from medical tests that should tell her what's been causing those stabbing pains she's been having. She meets with Mia, who hasn't been writing songs, no matter how much gentle pressure Peyton applies. It's the wrong day to mess with Peyton -- she tells Mia that maybe this isn't the right label for her, after all. Poing!

And that's just the start of the drama. Brooke is dealing with more Sam drama -- and she and Sam discover that the attack on Brooke was inspired by Sam. Holy crap! She was either attacked by Jack Daniels (no, really), a boy pining for Sam, or by Jack's brother -- who just happens to be the man who killed Q! Meanwhile, Nathan is having plenty of Q flashbacks as he undergoes a pro basketball tryout, and Jamie stretches his comedy wings at the school talent show. And Mouth and Gigi... well, don't get us started! Suffice it to say that while we think Millie and Owen are both making a big mistake, as least Millie is trading up!

There's lots more in this super-sized podcast. Find out what had me lamenting the plight of the food-service worker, discover yet another of Mia's fears, and hear what got Jackie texting us early this morning. Plus, find out what we thought about your reaction to last week's episode!

Listen to our One Tree Hill podcast for "You Have to be Joking (Autopsy of the Devils Brain)" and let us know what you think in the comments!

One Tree Hill: Shocking Plot Twists!

Dawson Leery makes good -- and makes life difficult for Lucas Scott.
We weren't just on the edge of our seat while watching last night's One Tree Hill -- we actually fell off the couch at one point! So much was revealed, yet even more is still up in the air. Sam was indirectly responsible for Brooke's attack! Julian might actually be a good guy! Sam's friend's brother killed Q (we're still reeling over that one)! And Owen and Millie are thisclose to falling into bed together. The last half of the episode was so packed with plot twists that we almost forgot about last week's mega-cliffhanger: what's ailing Peyton? And we have to wait until January 5 for new episodes? CW, you're killing us!

Let's get to the recap!

What's up with Lucas: Julian wants to fly Lucas out to LA to meet with a big-deal movie guy and talk scripts. Lucas reluctantly agrees, even though he still doesn't really trust Julian.

When he gets to LA, the agent is none other than Dawson! Oops, we mean James van der Beek... okay, we can't remember the character's name on the show, because he's still Dawson to us. But anyway, the guy's totally over-the-top, and he wants to butcher the script -- he suggests everything from killing off Haley to marrying her and Lucas! And he tells Lucas all this while receiving a temple massage, bare-chested. Lucas is less than pleased.

What's up with Nathan: Inspired by his chat with Q from the great beyond, and a talk with Jamie, who tells him to just do his best, Nathan suits up to try out for the basketball level just below the NBA. When he arrives, he encounters all kinds of setbacks -- first, he's almost turned away at the door, but the coach who recruited him a few episodes back for coaching saves his skin and offers him a chance. Then one of the players mocks Nathan for not being good enough, for wearing his special green shoes, and for being too short.

But this Nathan is no quitter. With Q and Jamie's words in his head, Nathan shows the other guy who's boss -- his jumps soar and his shots swish through the net.

What's up with Haley: She's helping Jamie prepare for his big piano recital. But Jamie is less than thrilled -- he'd rather tell jokes than play the piano. Haley doesn't have much to do this week, but she does get to wear a truly fabulous dress and brooch. Still, we'd like more Haley next week, please!

What's up with Brooke: She opens Sam's door to find a half-naked guy trying to squeeze out Sam's bedroom window! Brooke is furious and lets Sam have it, but Sam fights back -- wasn't Brooke a wild and crazy fifteen-year-old? Brooke has to admit that she was, but she kind of wishes she hadn't been quite so out there -- she can't take any of it back now. Later, she breaks down a bit and reveals that she was attacked a few months ago, and that's why she's been so closed off around men and dating. She's still scared. Sam is sympathetic, and they bond. She reveals that her friend John (Jack) Daniels was coming over because his brother beats him up sometimes and he just wanted a safe place to stay.

As if one unwelcome visitor wasn't enough, Brooke gets two! Julian shows up at her store, wanting her to design clothes for Lucas's movie. Brooke's skeptical (can you blame her?) and denies him, but to her surprise, he doesn't bug her anymore and accepts her answer.

What's up with Peyton: She's wrestling with two big pains: one is in her side, and one is standing in front of her -- Mia. Mia's gotten a bit of a diva 'tude and has no interest in recording the label-provided songs; she wants to write her own. Peyton pushes, and the two clash. Meanwhile, Peyton's totally stressed because she's awaiting results from the doctor. She's freaking out, thinking she has cancer. When she and Mia can't resolve their issues, Peyton tells Mia that maybe this label isn't the place for her. Mia doesn't like hearing that, but Peyton just tells her that life is too short.

What's up with Jamie: He manages to turn his piano recital into a comedy routine. The kid spices up each group of notes with a punchline, and he's quite a hit with the crowd -- especially Mom and Dad.

What's up with Mouth and Millie: It seems like Gigi's been throwing herself at Mouth for years, doesn't it? It's getting old. Actually, it was old three weeks ago. But Gigi doesn't care what we think -- she only has eyes for Mouth. She pressures him to come to her going-away party, so he stops by with a gift for her: the shirt of his she slept in when she crashed at his place. Later, Gigi sends Mouth a sexy pic of her half-naked... but it's Millicent who finds the pic. Mouth swears nothing's going on, but Millie's had enough. She storms off to the bar to drink away her sorrows.

What's up with Sam: Sam asks Julian if she can send him some stuff she's been writing, and he seems to be okay with it, but he wants Brooke's info in return. Later, Sam's hanging out with her friend John (Jack) Daniels and she mentions Brooke in a positive light. He's surprised -- doesn't she hate Brooke? He remembers when she had her first run-in with Brooke at Clothes Over Bros and said that Brooke was a rich bitch who deserved to be put in her place. Right? RIGHT?

He looks at Sam pointedly, and suddenly she realizes that his friends were behind the attack -- it happened because of her! Sobbing, she confesses to Brooke and runs off. Brooke is too stunned to really react, but then she goes after Sam in hot pursuit.

First, Brooke tries the bar, where she clashes with Owen and Julian. Owen says the exact wrong thing at the wrong time about how Sam will turn up just like she always does (though how could he have known that this time was different?). Brooke lashes out at him and leaves. Then, at the diner, she asks the woman behind the counter, and she tells Brooke someone else just asked about a girl with the same description. It was that guy right there! The server points toward Julian. He didn't want Brooke to know, but he's definitely looking for Sam, too. And Brooke sees him in a whole new light.

Alone at the bar, Millie and Owen face each other with somber expressions. Owen, the former alcoholic, tells her he's going to have a drink after eight years. And Millie says that she's been a virgin for 22 years... until now. They sip their drinks and share a smoldering, desperate gaze...

Outside in the rain, Sam gets into a car. We see her pal in the front passenger seat, and then we see his brother. It's the same guy that killed Q. To say that his face is the epitome of evil is putting it lightly. Did we mention that during this entire montage, Jamie's reading a story about death with his sweet voice? We're kind of freaked out.

And with that, Sam rides off into the night with these extremely questionable characters.

What did you think of the episode? Were you as shocked by some of the twists as we were? Which character surprised you the most? Let us know what you thought in the comments!

Supernatural: Angels and Demons and Wait, What?

At least they didn't name her Angela...
We have to confess that we're a bit torn on this week's episode of Supernatural. Maybe it's just because the previous episodes have been so stellar, or maybe it's because this is the last ep we get until January 15 (!!!), but we feel a little let down -- not to mention confused. That's not to say there weren't plenty of fantastic moments, laugh-out-loud lines and things that made up gasp or nearly cry. Maybe we just need to digest for a while. Or maybe we're overthinking things. What did you think?

Last week, we left off with the boys and Ruby facing off against Castiel and Uriel in a bid to protect Anna. This week, we see the fight. Uriel immediately goes for Ruby, and it's Dean who saves her. We know! Who woulda thunk it? Castiel does the finger-tip knockout trick on Sam (nice skill to have), and he's just about to enter the room where Anna's hiding when the angels are dragged away by some force. It turns out Anna knew some sort of blood spell that can boot angels into the next celestial zip code. How did THAT happen?

The boy aim to find out -- they bring Anna back to Bobby's demon-thwarting safe house and call in Pamela, the psychic who got her eyes melted when they first tried to find Castiel. See, when Anna was a toddler, she went through a phase when she was claiming her father wasn't her REAL father, and that her actual dad was so mad at her that he wanted to kill her. That's a lot for a two-and-a-half-year-old kid to bear! Pamela puts her under and asks Anna to think back -- which causes Anna to panic and throw Dean across the room when he tries to calm her. But when Pamela brings Anna out of the trance, she remembers everything -- she's a fallen angel who disobeyed God's orders and fell to earth.

And this is where our heads started hurting, just from a theological perspective. OK, so demons are fallen humans, and humans are fallen angels? When angels fall, their Grace is ripped out, and that's what makes them human? Kripke and Co. must have had VERY different Sunday school teachers than we did! Anyway, moving on...

Anna decides she needs retrieve her Grace and become an angel again. Sam does some sleuthing and figures out that since Anna literally fell from heaven, she must have looked like a meteor falling to earth. Nine months before she was born, two meteors fell to earth -- one in Ohio, where Anna was born, and one in Kentucky, where a local miracle occurred-- a huge tree grew from acorn to oak in six months in an empty field. That’s what Grace is -- pure creation. The crew arms itself with heavy-duty hex bags that will shield them for all supernatural eyes and heads out to Kentucky. But when they get to the tree, Anna can tell that her Grace is already gone.

And that's where things get messy. Anna starts hearing a broadcast on Radio Free Angel -- turn over the girl, or Dean gets sent back to hell. What to do? Well, obviously, it's time for nookie! Dean and Anna get it on in the back seat of the Metallicar. While they're busy, Ruby sneaks off into the darkness and burns her hex bag, summoning Alastair. This is WAY too big for her, she says -- she'll hand over Anna if Alastair promises to let her, and the Winchesters, live. Alastair summons a couple of demonic minions and commences torturing Ruby, just for the hell of it. Finally, Ruby convinces him to let her go so she can lead them to the fallen angel.

Meanwhile, Uriel appears to Dean in a dream, and reveals that he has Anna’s Grace in a vial around his neck. He swears that they're not bluffing about Hell -- Dean can be replaced, but Anna broke the cardinal angel law by questioning God, and so she's priority number one. Dean agrees to be sent back downstairs -- he'd rather go through Hell (literally) again than give up an innocent! But Uriel has another card to play...

Later, Uriel and Castiel appear at the barn where the boys and Anna are hiding. Dean told him where they were -- because Uriel threatened to kill Sam, and that's the one thing Dean STILL can't let happen. But just as the angels start to make their move on Anna, Alastair and his demonic goons show up. Showdown! Uriel commences face-melting with the minions, while Alastair grabs Castiel and works some demonic mojo. He looks like he's very close to killing our favorite angel when Dean jumps him and drags him off. Anna takes the opportunity to grab her Grace from Uriel and drink it down. She shrieks that it's time for everyone who's NOT angel to duck and cover, which the boys and Ruby do. Alastair does not -- and he gets smote. Then Anna is gone.

Afterwards, we discover that Ruby didn't betray the boys -- it was all part of the plan! They knew they couldn't defeat either angels or demons, but they could distract them by getting them to fight each other... We can't help but think that was one hell of a risky plan -- isn't that how entire cities get leveled? Oh well -- it worked.

But that was nothing compared to the next revelation -- Dean finally opens up about his time in Hell! Alastair had made a crack about how Dean had shown great potential, and Dean explains what he meant. See, he wasn't in Hell for four months -- it was more like forty years. Every single day, he would go through unimaginable tortures until there was nothing left of his body. And every night, they would bring his body back, and the next day, they would do it again. Every day, Alastair would offer to end the torture -- if Dean would just get off the rack and put someone else on it. For 30 years, Dean resisted, and paid the price. But then he gave in -- and he's been ripping himself apart ever since. That's why he doesn't want to talk about Hell. Yes, it's in part because of the horrors he saw and experienced. But it's more about the horror he was afraid he was becoming. "I wish I couldn't feel anything, Sammy," Dean says. “I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing."

So what did you think? Were the plot twists satisfying or confusing? Did this episode provoke more heart-breaking or head-scratching? Talk about it in the comments!

Smallville: Wedding Jitters

Well, it WAS a lovely wedding, at first....
Romance is in the air on this week’s gripping episode of Smallville. Chloe and Jimmy get ready for their big day and even Lois and Clark share a few lingering stares. Crazy things happen when people get all gussied up!

First, we see Chloe and Jimmy’s wedding day through the lens of a jumpy camcorder a la Cloverfield and we’re tipped off early on that things don’t end well for the happy couple. Then, we jump back in time eight hours to fill in the missing pieces.

Lois plays the part of the perfect wedding planner, transforming the Kent barn into a fairytale destination. She’s struggling with a bit of bride envy (who can blame her?) and Jimmy plants the idea in her head that, “Lois and Clark would be great together.” Meddlesome boy! Davis phone-stalks Chloe – as if she didn’t have enough to worry about. And Oliver and Clark run after cyberspace routers that seem to imply Lex is out there sending emails.

Clark suspects Oliver’s eagerness to chase after Lex stems from his desire to get revenge for Lionel killing his parents. Unwilling to indulge Oliver’s revenge fantasies and ruin Chloe’s wedding, Clark returns to the farm. Oliver, however, fails to heed Clark’s advice. Dressed as Green Arrow, he heads to Cuba where we see a bald head, which he promptly shoots an arrow through, not realizing it’s just a decoy. The mannequin bears a note saying, “Sorry I missed you.” Before Oliver can react, a figure starts beating the living daylights out of him -- and it's Lana! What is SHE doing in Cuba???

We also see Davis covered in blood disposing of body parts (?) in a dumpster when a cop sticks his nose into the suspicious situation. Obviously gripped by a force he’s unable to fend off, Davis, with great regret, transforms into the vicious, clawed behemoth Doomsday. Bye-bye copper!

It’s back to the wedding. What a gorgeous affair! Clark and Lois share a tension-filled dance before Lana makes a surprise entrance. Lana and Clark somewhat resolve their past as she bluntly makes it clear that the two of them aren’t meant to end up together. This exchange poses more questions than answers. What is Lana up to? Where has she been? And what was up with that text message that leads us to believe she might be working against Clark?

Doomsday crashes the wedding – literally – and kidnaps Chloe, but not before ripping Jimmy to shreds. As we leave the Smallville clan until January 15th, Jimmy is in critical condition, Chloe’s stuck in the Arctic with Doomsday and Clark must contend with all the carnage continuously following him.

How are we going to make it to January 15th without a new episode? Bah humbug! Wasn’t Chloe just an absolutely gorgeous bride? We’re feeling a bit envious ourselves, except for the whole happily-ever-after-until-the-monster-comes-in-and-destroys-your-life part.

America's Next Top Model Has Been Crowned!

America's Next Top Model Winner McKey

It's hard to believe last night was the finale for America's Next Top Model Cycle 11! Time flies when you're having fun. We were down to the final three: Analeigh, Samantha and McKey and we've got to be honest - at the beginning of Cycle 11, these were not the three we had picked to make it to the finale. That being said, watching their skills mature throughout the season was inspiring.

Cycle 10 winner Whitney joined the girls to introduce a new lip gloss from Cover Girl that's supposed to brighten your smile. Unfortunately for the girls, the commercial they shot not only had them memorizing lines - but lines in a foreign language. Oh, and they had to kiss another hot male model. What was with all of the kissing going on this cycle? Sam didn't have much energy during her attempt at a Cover Girl commercial. McKey's performance got progressively better in terms of line delivery but her head twitches didn't impress Mr. Jay. Poor Analeigh had a meltdown during her commercial taping.

Jim de Yonker, who has been the photographer for the Cover Girl shoot for many seasons, directed the three finalists and it seemed clear that McKey was his favorite even though he called her "a bit cuckoo in the head".

At the judge's panel, the girls reviewed their commercials. The finished product of editing all three of the takes together actually looked really good, even though it seemed like all three models wanted to get into the male model's pants. The judges gave Sam a pretty good critique; Analeigh's was a mess and McKey's really looked like a Cover Girl model.

There could only be two models walking the final runway show and unfortunately for Analeigh, her time as a Top Model contestant was up. She was now free to drink wine with her bestie, Marjorie. We were sad to see her go since she has always had such a great attitude and seemed to stay out of any of the drama.

Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine, Ann Shocket, greeted McKey and Sam for their Seventeen Magazine photo shoot. Both of the girls "astounded" her with the photos being taken. It seemed like anybody's game going into the runway show.

Mr. Jay came up with an amazing Candyland meets Dr. Seuss runway filled with hills and turns. Both Samantha and McKey nailed their runway walks but Samantha had some problems getting her second outfit on which seemed to peeve Mr. Jay.

At panel, the judges loved McKey's walk and the attitude she gave in her face. Samantha's critique was similarly great but Tyra noted the "worry" in her mouth which was a bit too pronounced. The judges went through the entire cycle of photos for both of the girls and (as is to be expected for two finalists) most of the commentary was glowing. The judges agreed, both of the girls had come a long way but it was McKey who ended up taking the prize as the Cycle 11 winner of America's Next Top Model.

What did you think of this cycle? Was there anyone else you thought should have been the winner? Let us know in the comments!

Stylista: The Weight of the World

Who's that girl?
On this week’s episode of Stylista, Danielle’s full figure was pushed into the forefront. The fashion industry is notorious for celebrating folks such as Kate Moss and Twiggy for their slender figures, so way back at the season premiere when we were introduced to our esteemed contestants, we knew it was only a matter of time before Danielle’s weight went from being the elephant in the room to the guest of honor. To her credit, D seems at peace with her body and self-assured. It’s only when the crew gets invited to raid the legendary Elle fashion closet to choose outfits for a party hosted by Anne at Bungalow 8 that she starts freaking out.

And who can blame her? She lives in a house with a bunch of size two and fours and she works in an office populated by people one bout of the flu away from their ideal weight. Even the most confident person would fall under the pressure. And for the record, crying and locking yourself in the bathroom is a sure sign of cracking up. We’re just confused as to why Danielle didn’t take full advantage of the well-stocked closet. If this journey has taught our little fashion plates anything, it’s that accessories can make or break an outfit. D -- score some righteous shoes and uncover a dazzling piece of jewelry. Nicole Kidman wore a basic black dress to last year’s Academy Awards, but that multi-layered diamond necklace taking up her entire upper torso made the ensemble red-carpet worthy.

In a scene straight outta “The Devil Wears Prada,” the contestants flank Anne at her soiree to identify all of the incoming guests. Our remaining six prepared the night before for the challenge by studying the names and faces of everyone on the guest list. Well, some studied. Johanna made flash cards and quizzed herself until the wee hours, while her teammate Kate decided to stuff her face with popcorn and snuggle up in bed. When the moment of truth came, Kate was too busy checking out her lip gloss in the ceiling mirror to notice guests even attended the function and all of Johanna’s preparation failed her, while Team Megan quickly picked up the slack. It was a depressing sight.

Once again, Kate managed to convince Anne of her leadership abilities during the layout of the editorial party page. How does she keep getting away with this? Let’s revert back to her lip gloss comment at the party. All we can say is that she’s an excellent salesman. And how is it that both teams either misspell someone’s name on their page or completely misidentify a party-goer? The teams go back and forth debating on the correct spelling of a makeup artist’s name. Surely they can Google this information in order to refrain from making huge gaffes!

Kate squeaked by, which just irks us more and more each week. Johanna breathed a sigh of relief when Danielle got the boot. We’re disappointed to say goodbye to D, but it would have just broken our hearts to lose Johanna after watching her work so hard and worry so much.

They’re dropping like flies over at Elle. What did you think of this week? At least Megan kept her snotty quips to a minimum.

Gossip Girl Podcast: The Magnificent Archibalds

Listen Now

Gossip Girl had its moments this episode, but some of the plots left us unimpressed. Have the characters really learned so little over the course of the last season and a half? Apparently not.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like your ex-lover and your newly eyeliner-free, formerly homeless daughter gathered arond the kitchen island and waiting for a feast.
It's Turkey Day in Manhattan, but all is not well. Blair is furious that Eleanor is apparently going to sully the holiday by announcing her engagement to Cyrus, so she (and Dorota) take to the streets. Jenny has been camping out at the van der Woodsen/Bass residence (and if you have to be homeless, it's best to have a penthouse to crash in), and she's surprised when the adults come home a day early and discover her. Lily also discovers the emancipation papers Jenny is toting around, and she calls Rufus. Meanwhile, Nate is surprised to find his father back in town, saying he wants to whisk the family away to his Caribbean hideaway. But an FBI agent who finds him through Vanessa lets him know that the Captain is up to no good. What will Nate do? Plus, Eric finds the files full of surveillance that Bart has amassed on the whole family, Serena decides to lie to and/or for her man, and Vanessa hopes to rekindle things with Nate. When. And to think we spend most of Thanksgiving just digesting!

Listen in as we express our horror at Serena's sartorial choices, and give our theories as to what the hell happened there. Plus, find out what put Mia to sleep, discover what caused Jackie to issue an alert, and learn how you, too, can date Nate Archibald!

90210 Recap: That Which We Destroy

Annie and Ethan from 90210 share a hug after the big lacrosse game

Last night's episode of 90210 was filled with lessons about family and friendship which, as with anything 90210-related, are more complicated than usual.

When we left off last week, Annie and Naomi's brawl was interrupted by a surprise appearance from their half-brother, Sean. The two girls stop arguing long enough to bring him into the house to introduce their new brother to Harry, who looks like a deer caught in headlights.

Annie and Ethan are taking their relationship to the next level and making out in the hallways. Ethan goes as far as saying, "We're so together we're like Siamese twins...except not related. And sexually attracted to each other." When Ozzie comes over to taunt Naomi, he sees the new couple making out and tries to offer comfort but Naomi basically tells him to get lost.

Harry has told Kelly about the events that took place at Annie's birthday party and wants Naomi and Annie to talk about their new brother. When the discussion turns to how Annie and Ethan went behind Naomi's back, Kelly tries to tell the girls not to let a guy come between them. She is, after all, an expert on the matter. "Girlfriends are like plants and guys are like cut flowers. They're pretty and smell nice...but they don't last," which is a moot point with these girls. They weren't friends for all that long to start with and let's face it, Naomi is a bitch.

In the cafeteria Annie takes on some of Naomi's worst qualities and decides to hit her where it hurts - the Ugg boots. We're sure there were plenty of girls watching last night who weren't thrilled to hear Annie call that fashion statement a thing of the past. With her only friend sitting at Annie and Ethan's table, Naomi tries her luck at sitting with the "Blendids". They seem like the poor girl's version of Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf and her minions. We couldn't help but wonder why Adrianna didn't get up to sit with her bestie. In order to sit with this elite (debatable) trio, Naomi needs to prove herself to them during a weird hazing. She doesn't eat lunch, only drinks Blendids twice a day, and must get some for her new friends. When her maid arrives with the drinks, Annie attacks her by asking if Naomi's Dad boinked the maid as well. When Ethan sees this he asks what's wrong with her - she has definitely changed from the girl who had just moved from Kansas.

As part of the hazing, Naomi must also ask Ozzie for help getting reservations for the girls at his family's restaurant. He says ok but when they show up, he plays hard to get. Finally giving in, he tells Naomi she owes him big time. We're not sure why she cares so much about impressing these girls anyway - the mathletes seemed like more fun.

Kelly goes to see Brenda (yay Brenda is back!) in her play but Brenda seems distant and hasn't been answering any of Kelly's phone calls. They make plans for lunch the next day anyway. Lunch doesn't go very far because Brenda basically breaks off their friendship. She says the two have grown apart and she's tired of fighting over guys. Kelly should've given her the same plant speech she gave to Annie and Naomi but instead tells Brenda to go live her life and Brenda obliges by picking up and leaving.

After Grandma Wilson convinces Debbie to be there to support Harry, she joins him, Tracy and Sean out for dinner. Tracy monopolizes the conversation and has been housing Sean during his stay but Debbie decides to ask Sean if he wants to stay at the Wilson home for a while. He jumped at the chance, most likely because Tracy seems like a bit of a nutcase.

While hanging out with Silver, Annie wonders aloud if she has changed for the worse - which she has. Silver is the voice of wisdom and tells Annie that no one is stopping her from getting back to the person she wants to be. Apparently she wants to be a school mascot.

The lacrosse championships are here and everyone makes it to the game. Silver and Adrianna make a rare appearance but we're not sure Adrianna made it for the whole game. The smell of a hot dog makes her throw up - is it possible she's preggers? Harry brings Sean to watch the game so they can spend more time together. Dixon has been getting progressively more jealous of Harry's new father/son relationship and feels like an outsider in his own family. He lets it affect his game and after getting pulled out he lashes out at Harry, telling him to screw himself.

Ozzie comes to collect on the favor Naomi owes him. He says he wants a kiss - and they share a nice one - but he says he wants Naomi to kiss Walter the Wildcat - who happens to be Annie. It doesn't go over very well for either of the girls but the Blendids are impressed by Naomi's willingness to do what it takes to be in their clique.

Kelly had to leave the game early after receiving a phone call saying Brenda had an accident and was in the hospital. What she didn't bargain for was Brenda telling her that she had slept with Ryan. This upsets Kelly to the point where she leaves in tears. Seriously though - she can't call dibs on every guy she dates and dumps. Also, Ryan really gets around!

Harry finds Dixon in the locker room and tries to reprimand him. Dixon is the one who ends up teaching Harry a lesson, though. While Harry has been doing what he can to make Sean feel comfortable, he hasn't done anything to make Dixon feel loved or wanted. Harry vows to try harder and make things work for everyone. They both go back to the game and the Wildcats win! Everyone is happy - Dixon even tells Sean to stay and celebrate. There's just one problem, the episode ends with Sean making a phone call that leads us to believe his intentions aren't all that great with the Wilson family. Is he just using them? Who was on the other end of the call? Do you have any predictions? Let us know in the comments!

Privileged: All About Overcompensating

Megan and Will
JoAnna Garcia as Megan – cute. JoAnna Garcia as Megan on a date with Will – super cute. Seriously, how can anyone still think that these two are not a great couple?

The latest episode of Privileged has Will and Megan trying to figure out where their relationship lies. And, for a girl who seems to have her stuff together, we can’t figure out why she reacted the way she did when Will shares that he is, and has been, seeing other women since him and Lily broke up.

Is it us, or did she seem jealous? So not Megan. And, what was with her trying to break it off before the relationship even got started. “Not cut from the same cloth” -- please. They are totally from the same cloth – opposite ends maybe – but, definitely the same cloth. Point being, they totally complement each other.

Will seemed to think so too. So much, he is willing to change his playboy lifestyle and be exclusive with her. Can he do it? Who knows? What we are more worried about is how this new relationship will last the six-month separation as Will heads to Brazil for his new job.

On the Sage and Rose front, it is Rose who is making all the mistakes this week. As suspected, she totally bombs her English final after opting to sing at the club last week instead of finishing her book. Totally rocked by the bad news, she flipped out about her upcoming history final and decided to go out and buy a copy of the test. Really?

We understand these girls are rich and can pretty much buy whatever they want, but the test? Who else would have a copy? She obviously didn’t bribe the teacher and the whole situation feels a little stretched. Don’t get us wrong, we are sad to say that we’ve cheated once or twice in our high school career, but mostly off that hot, smart guy sitting next to us.

Either way though, we are totally bummed at Rose this week: Failing finals, cheating. What’s up, girl? Of course, it doesn’t help that Sage got involved and totally helped her cheat by commissioning a custom purse with the answers sown onto it. But why provide a solution to cheating and then try to convince her she doesn’t have to do it? She even goes as far as to turn to Megan for help.

Doesn’t matter though, Megan was totally too late in figuring out what was happening and the episode ends with the what looks like Rose going forward with the cheating purse plan.

Next week, we are totally looking forward to seeing what happens to Laurel when she reconnects with the girls’ real grandfather. Yep, that’s right. Some former boss man of hers, whose name is Miles, will enter the picture. And, how do we know this? Seems like Laurel, totally out of nowhere, has a complete change of heart and gives Megan the green light to do more research and find out where and what he is up to. No sooner does she find out that she is jetting off to see him. We totally wonder: What he’s like? Will they get back together? Stay together?

And, speaking of relationships, what does everyone think of Charlie asking his girlfriend to move in with him?
