Celebs in the News - 05SEP08

Finally we get to see Halle Berry’s gorgeous gem (not the mysterious ring on her finger), 5-month-old daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry.  The actress and her costar took a trip to the Los Angeles Zoo on Saturday.  Did the photogs also snap these adorable babes? 

This is when you know she’s pissed

These women didn’t pull a Lorraine Bobbit, but they certainly know where to hit a man so it hurts.  Of course a few men have cheating wives - busted & for sell on eBay.

Project Runway 5 - Elegant Espionage

The designers receive instructions for their next challenge and they’re going to design for a fashion legend…Diane von Furstenberg. Kenley actually cried.
The designers must incorporate ideas from 40’s Berlin to Shanghai, WWII intrigue and design for a woman of the world. The designers are giving it their all.

Terri designed sleek trousers (shocker!), with a coat and flowing top.

Joe designed an oriental inspired backless top, but he lost me with the hot pink cummerbund. It was sloppy and confusing.

Leanne created a cropped top coat with a long gown. The dress was absolutely gorgeous, feminine and flowing, whereas the coat is masculine and structured.  She won the challenge.

Stella needs a cohesive design and she’s not known for her work with tweed. She mixed heavy fabrics which added bulk and bulges in all the wrong places. She was eliminated.

Kenley used an extravagant print and created a simple silhouette to showcase it. She defended her choice to keep it simple and received mostly favorable comments from the judges, including Diane.

Suede designed a loose fitting dress, with a camouflage-esqe print and matched it with a herringbone vest. Michael Kors thought it looked like someone got dressed in the dark.

Korto worked with a geographic pattern and added a bright pop of yellow underneath. I think her design was more modern, but the judges liked the kimono influenced wrap.

Blayne designed pantaloons, with a little fighter jacket that was hot.

Jerell created a strange little dress with a zap of electric blue belt. I didn’t like it at all. I thought she looked like a stewardess on air disco.

Big Brother 10 - Power Play Veto

Dan and Keesha are on the block and their only hope to stay is POV.  Dan thinks Memphis will use the POV and he just might.    Memphis has made a pact with everyone in the else, except for Wacky Renny.  I’m not sure what Dan would do for entertainment if she left the house.  He does love to torture her.  Of course when it results in a spanking, maybe he loves that more.

Everyone is taking time to talk to Jerry.  They’re all in jeopardy but Renny is flipping out because she doesn’t have a winning record in the competitions.  

A sky writer created a message and it said “MAN OVERBOARD!”  Jerry was looking up in the sky and stepped backward, right into the pool.  

The players are called out one at a time for the veto competition.  They have to guess at the identities of morphed photos - frightening fugly offspring of various houseguests. 

Jer Jer Bings and Michelle was my personal favorite although Renny and Jessie created a good looking tot.  If you like tots in flaming red wigs with beard stubble.  Dan hustled his skinny butt off but Memphis beat his time by 8 seconds and won POV.

Keesha is bummed that she and her BFF are in danger of going home.  Memphis demanded Dan’s word that he won’t keep up the crazy antics.  Dan promised to keep Keesha and to take Memphis to the final two.  For some reason, Keesha has trouble trusting Dan.  Hmmm, I wonder why.  

Memphis did use the POV to save his buddy Dan.  Jerry had a mild stroke then nominated Renny for eviction.  

  

Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency - Dude Looks Like a Lady

The old models are PO’d, packing up and moving out of the new model house. Brian Kehoe, CC Fontana, Crystal Truehart and Traci Moslenko form a model mob, light their torches and confront Janice.  Janice tried to smack some sense into Christian Prelle when he took cheap shots at Martin Ritchie.

JP Calderon was genuinely happy for the rookies.  As if there weren’t enough reasons to love him; he’s just given us one more.  He’s so sweet.

Chandler Maness felt great booking his first job and booking a room at Janice Dickinson’s B&B.

The lessons begin right away, with a strip, pose and critique.  Xian Mikol needs to work out a bit, so Chandler will be her workout buddy + motivation.  There’s a little chemistry brewing in the house.  Hazuki Kato is a third wheel on their run.  Sure, it sounded like a good idea the night before, but not so great at o’dark thirty.  

Later that morning, Chandler, CC, Traci and Polina Tretiakova were scheduled for a photo shoot for Nicolita swimwear. CC was running late and had a very unhappy client to deal with.   She had an unexpected visit from TOM and unexpected traffic.  In the end CC got the gig, despite her troubles.  

Traci has an acting manager; with big ambitions to get in featured films. That doesn’t go over well with mama Janice.  In fact, that sound you hear is  thin ice cracking.  Traci was given an ultimatum to get her body in shape or she’s going to be cut loose. 

Crystal Truehart is moving into the house.  She’ll get to show her stuff to the newbies, along with Maurice Townsell, because he’s just intoxicating with all his testosterone.  Brian Kehoe is homeless and he asked to stay in the house.  Janice agreed to let him stay but laid down the law - Stay AWAY from the Alcohol.

Maurice likes Polina and he’s not afraid to show it.  

Kentucky Denim Jeans representatives arrive at the house for a casting while Janice shoots an ad for Orbit.  They’re looking for hot, rough guys - wow what a job. Watching hot guys drop trou. Christian, Dominic, Chandler, Martin and Kehoe were all selected.  Dominique and Polina were chosen for the background - as if anyone will look that far.

Later that night, Janice challenges the houseguests to cross dress.  Kehoe and Maurice were good sports, but Chandler was a dud - Dude, we all know you’re a manly man.  Heck your last name is Maness, NOW GO PUT ON A G***AMN DRESS!

Everyone was having so much fun, Chandler decided to one up the competition, prancing out in a bra and panties.  There’s a ton of competition between Kehoe and Chandler including a little battle for the attentions of Xian.  

Celebs in the News - 02SEP08

TMZ posted Vanilla Ice making light of his attack on wife, Laura.  The battery case was dropped after Laura recanted her statement and there were no witnesses to the alleged smack down.  Maybe she cracked wise about his bangs.  Is this just an extreme attempt to gain some street cred or a desperate has-been’s cry for media attention?  Either way, not cool Ice Man, not cool.

 

Little Levy, Matthew’s main man, showed support for the U of Texas Longhorns.  More newsworthy, Daddy was wearing a shirt.

 

The princess of pop Gwen Stefani popped out another adorable tyke, Zuma Nesta Rock (presumably if genes are any indication).  

In a case of life imitating art, Californication star David Duchovny was admitted for treatment for sexual addiction, getting his daily fix from internet porn.  Wow, talk about a dealer on every corner.

 

Ricky Martin is keeping up with the Lopezes (Mr and Mrs JLo natch) - having his own set of twins.   He used the services of professional - a surrogate mother (what were you thinking?) to create two little miracles for the price of one.

 

Big Brother 10 - Behind Enemy Lines

Memphis was happy to see Michelle go even though they were originally in an alliance with Jessie early on. Before he or Keesha can celebrate, the houseguest move to the back yard for the next HOH. Keesha won the HOH and immediately put Ollie and Jerry on the block. Dan quickly destroyed any hope they had of winning POV and Ollie’s chances of making it any further in the game.

Jerry is all alone in the house. I bet his time in the military wasn’t this fraught with hostile forces. He just asks them talk to him once in a while. That’s asking a little much eh.

Renny is a bit confused about her time zones and doesn’t like Dan trying to teach her to tell time. Maybe he should spend more time teaching Keesha to laugh. It goes something like EEEEEEIIIIII HEHEHEHE.

The HOH is a skeet ball game with questions about happenings in the house and the Houseguests have to roll a ball onto the day it happened. Aw, sweet memories – Jerry calling Dan Judas, alien sightings in the BB house, Brian being blindsided and earthquakes.

Dan was the leader throughout the game but Jerry was close behind. Renny (as usual) was in her own little world. Dan lost his lead with a question about Jessie being eliminated and it all came down to the last question – the day the houseguests received lollipops. Dan got it right on and Jerry missed by 4 days, winning HOH.

It’s all up in the air as to who Jerry will nominate. He’d put up all four if he could, but he can only pick two: Judas Dan, Wild Renny, Meathead Memphis or Cackling Keesha. He pretty much hates them all – which is why he tells them stories.

Memphis is hinting at a final two deal with Keesha, but he’s not coming right out and saying it. Renny keeps things interesting, sleep walking and sleep eating. She wakes up with Almond Joys in her bed wondering what happened.

Dan and Memphis talk about making a deal with Jerry to keep at least one of them off the block. Memphis stepped up and bit the bullet. Jerry wants a deal to go to the final two and Memphis agreed. Memphis doesn’t have to remind Jerry that Dan put him on the block. Dan’s bogus deal with Ollie is actually paying off. Who would of thought?

Jerry nominated Dan and Keesha.

Project Runway 5 - Recycled Runway

The next challenge begins in a parking garage - will it be Mechanic Couture? Grease Monkey Chic?

Nope, it’s a challenge to recycle materials used in Saturn vehicles as raw materials for their design. It’s all about creativity and thinking out of the sewing box. The designers grab seat belts, upholstery, plastic mats and lights.

The designers dive right in to destructing their items to find inspiration.

Stella took it slow, designing a leather skirt. Just doing a pretty skirt isn’t innovative enough for this challenge. The top was all Stella but the skirt didn’t look like her style.

Suede created a top from rubber floor mats and learned beauty is pain when he hand stitched the pieces. He added shine with silver sun visors.
Keith cleaned up his act this week, after past criticism from the judges on his messy designs. It’s really taken a toll on his confidence, so he’s getting a little ‘tude. He took his attitude into the judging room and his defensiveness didn’t earn him any points. He was eliminated and had no one to blame but himself (including his model and his critics)

Korto wove seat belts into a coat with a 60’s mod vibe. The end result was elegant.

Kenley created her own fabric with a sharpie and air vents. She had an extra challenge when her model bailed and she had to work with a new body type.

Blayne designed a gown with vertical strips of seat belts, embellished with bits of mirror. The fit was off and the fringe wasn’t favored.

Jerell made a bustier from suede seat covers, embellished with moldings for a futuristic dress.

Leanne worked with car seats and made fringe with the car seats. She created a nice silhouette and received rave reviews, plus the win.

Terri designed pants (again) and created a tough rocker chick outfit.

Joe created a motor cross vinyl dress that was edgy but uninspired.

Big Brother 10 - Double Evictions Make My Head Spin

It’s a big night with an eviction, an HOH competition, a POV and another eviction all in one night. Bam, slam, thank you Dan - Michelle and Jer Jer Bings are on the block after Dan went back on his deal with Ollie.

Did he create enough drama during the POV to deflect attention from himself? Of course not! A nuclear bomb wouldn’t have been enough to make Ollie and Michelle forget the deal. Ollie is pissed he was played for a fool, but he took it too far calling Memphis a red-headed cabbage patch kid.

Renny is not digging the drama, but it makes for good TV.

Michelle took the brunt of Dan’s power play and was evicted.

The HOH competition is a Q&A about Big Brother Headlines. Jerry and Keesha were tied at the end and to answer one more question. Keesha won HOH and immediately nominated Ollie and Jerry.

The Veto competition is a race to find two medallions hidden in haystacks.

Dan was the first to find a veto, followed closely by Renny, Memphis and Keesha. Ollie and Jerry, who needed it the most, didn’t even find one before Dan won the POV. Obviously, Dan didn’t use the Veto, so Ollie’s time in the house is over.

He was not a gracious loser - but it did all happen a little suddenly. Ollie is still confused about Dan’s strategy, but it’s not so different than Ollie’s game was in week one with Brian. Ollie thought it was different because Dan got the whole house involved in the farce.
