SPOILER ALERT! If you do not want to know who was kicked off Project Runway last night, never to be seen in the Parsons auditorium again, then keep on surfin’. Nothing to see here.

Crappy by association: What movies, shows, and songs have been ruined for you by bad romance?
Image Credit: Paul Natkin/WireImage.comI just finished reading Julie Klausner’s profane, hilarious new memoir I Don’t Care About Your Band, in which she recounts a veritable fail-parade of romantic encounters—like “please alert the FEMA clean-up crew” bad, not “oh, he didn’t pull out my chair for me at dinner” bad.
But what stuck with me was how associated her cavalcade of chronic masturbators, obese cheaters, and all-around nutballs was with certain movies, music, and TV shows: making out to Glengarry Glen Ross; believing a shared teenage love of Kids In the Hall and They Might Be Giants = true love 4ever; recoiling at a smelly boy bedroom filled with Star Wars paraphernalia or Family Guy DVDs.
For various heinous and highly subjective reasons, I can’t listen to the Bangles’ “Eternal Flame,” (junior high, your cuts run deep), hear a certain sitcom theme song, or watch the otherwise perfectly nice Merchant Ivory movie A Room With a View without wanting to stab myself in the eye with a plastic spork. I know you’ve got your own date-related pop-culture Waterloos, PopWatchers. Please share the ugly in our comments section below.

'The Real Housewives of New York' recap: The pinot grigio strikes back
Image Credit: Mitchell Haaseth/BravoGood grief did the women throw some low blows last night. I wish for two things this season, neither of which I believe will ever come true. I long for the end of Fashion Week, and I want all this ugliness between Jill and Bethenny to go away. But yikes it seems those two will remain forever estranged. Bethenny misdirected all of her frustration at LuAnn, pouncing on La Contessa at a fashion show. Pissed that LuAnn dared suggest she was suddenly a staple at the shows, Bethenny let loose on her. “I don’t like you, I don’t trust, you and I think you’re a snake,” she spat. Okay, well, not everybody can be friends, you say snake, she hears skank. But Bethenny wasn’t done yet. She wanted LuAnn to know that her sudden allegiance with Jill was totally bogus. “She’s been talking about how you sleep around for the last year to everyone,” she said. LuAnn’s face drained of color, and she sat there tight and stunned throughout the show. Bethenny admitted in her private interview that the dig was deeply uncool. Too little, too late.

'Supernatural' recap: You call that a return from hiatus?
Image Credit: Jack Rowand/The CWI love Supernatural. Tacked to the wall of my cubicle is a picture of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki staring at me through the windows of the Impala. And I have been fighting depression throughout hell-atus like everyone else. That said, “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” was, in one (not Webster-recognized) word, meh.
First, my top three gripes (because this isn’t the American Idol judging panel so I don’t have to start on a positive note): READ FULL STORY »

'The Vampire Diaries' recap: Elena on a mission, Damon on a bender
Image Credit: Quantrell Colbert/The CWEven though you know it’s not their doing, it’s easy to get a little angry with shows when they’re not on for a month. But watching this episode of Vampire Diaries reminded me of that scene from Pretty Woman.
Vivian: You’re late.
Edward: You’re stunning.
Vivian: You’re forgiven.
And not just because we got to see that Ian Somerhalder is now cut like an opposable Ken doll. READ FULL STORY »

'The Office' recap: Kiss me, stupid
Image Credit: Chris Haston/NBCI realized something watching last night’s episode of The Office: Everyone has become Jim and Pam. By which I mean, even the minor characters are getting romantic. There’s Erin and Andy, along with Oscar and Warehouse Matt. There’s the never-ending slow-mo train wreck that is Ryan and Kelly (if you mash up their last names, you get “KapHow,” which sounds a bit like a bomb going off.)
Don’t forget, this season started with Stanley’s affair. And now, we’re even venturing back into love-triangle territory with Dwight, Isabel, and Angela. (The only characters who haven’t had a romantic plotline are Meredith and Creed. Hmmmm. Meredith and Creed. I like the sound of that.) READ FULL STORY »

'Community' recap: Drown in the sea of laughter
Image Credit: Jack Rowand/The CWI had to Google the Cookie Crisp wizard last night. But even before I realized the origin of Pierce’s wizard outfit, I was laughing — the cookie wand tipped me off that my Mickey Mouse from Fantasia/random wizard hybrid theory was wrong. Joke wins; I fail. Wizardry aside, last night’s Community was a hoot – even if you don’t have a vast knowledge of cereal mascots.
Britta tried to stop being a fun-sucker by engaging in April Fools’ Day shenanigans – errr shenanigan – but that worked out about as well as my attempt to I.D. Pierce’s wizard outfit. Abed learned that he didn’t need a TV to be entertained because life can be a movie (if you feed lines to people every now and then). And Annie and Shirley learned via some time on campus security detail that there is a little badass in everyone. Hilarity ensued. READ FULL STORY »

'30 Rock' 10 best lines: We have to Elm Street this
Image Credit: Ali Goldstein/NBC After the hilarious hometown pride argument and impromptu snowball throwing in last week’s “Don Geiss, America, and Hope,” the 30 Rock crew had a lot to live up to this week. The recent NBC-Comcast deal has given the writers plenty to work with, but on “Floyd,” things were much more organic. Laughs weren’t at the expense of major corporate acquisitions or famous guest-stars, but rather simply the result of creepy sex dreams involving Kenneth (kenmares?), low-road revenge schemes concocted by Jack (who likes to pick women up at the T.J. Maxx in Queens), and Liz Lemon… being Liz Lemon. Did I mention that there was a visit from Floyd (Jason Sudeikis), Liz’s best boyfriend ever? I’d elaborate, but I can see you salivating, so… let’s get onto the 10 best lines!
“It’s an honor to be nominated in the same category as Sir Dave Coulier” – Danny, who wrote the pump-up song for the Ottawa Senators
“That’s why I get all my news from Dick Cheney’s website, DickViews.com” – Jack “Silver Panther” Donaghy READ FULL STORY »

'Project Runway' recap: The (custom-made) fabric of their lives
I am sad, Runway friends. Not sad like Jonathan’s dress (whatever — we’ll get to that) or like my hair when I’m on deadline, but genuinely aggrieved. I knew this day could come. That I’d eventually have to say goodbye to the most lovable contestant since Chris March. Bid adieu to someone capable of turning a sentence as banal as “I’m gonna go see about some dyed fabrics” into LOL hilarity. Give a fond farewell to a guy so charming that he remains on my top fave list even when he speaks in the third person. Of course I knew it could all come to an end. Yet still I feel blue.
Bummer, man. READ FULL STORY »

James Franco writes fiction for 'Esquire': Should he stick to his day job?
Spider-Man/Pineapple Express/Milk actor James Franco has been bettering himself over the last couple years, finishing up his undergrad degree at UCLA and then enrolling in MFA classes at both Columbia (creative writing) and NYU (film). Now, he’s got a short story, “Just Before the Black,” published in Esquire, and the bio for said story tells me a collection of his other short stories, Palo Alto, will be published by Scribner this October. As the editor of one of America’s least-prominent literary magazines for the past ten years (I don’t need to link it here; if you’re that curious, google), I can say this with some contextual certainty: James Franco’s short story in Esquire is slightly above average, nothing special. But it must be really handy to be famous. READ FULL STORY »
