The Hills: Empty Words

It's no surprise that Spencer seems to feel that a confrontation between Stephanie's new beau and Brody is warranted. Drama queen Spencer isn't happy unless he has some reason to belittle his sister and cause cattiness. Constantly reminding her about Brody's not-so-chivalrous behavior seems to give Spencer some sort of perverted pleasure, and of course, if he can ruin LC and Brody's evening, that's a cherry on top for Spencer.

Much to Spencer's disappointment, I'm sure, the two fellas did not so much as speak to one another. However, for Stephanie's new fella this may mean it's over before it starts. Her brother has her convinced that any decent fellow would have challenged Brody to a duel and avenged Stephanie for something that happened weeks earlier. He did say that he would confront Brody, and I think that's where he messed up. It's not a big deal that he didn't say anything to Brody. That was the mature move, but he seems like he punked out by not doing what he said he would. Will she break up with the new guy? Probably.

While Stephanie contemplates breaking up, it seems Audrina and JB may be making things official. Was his "I want to be with you" some sort of commitment? Can he stick to it? Can he treat Audrina the way she deserves? I won't be negative. We'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully, he can back up his words better than Stephanie's boyfriend.

ANTM: The Cover Girl Challenge

This week, the wannabes tackled an "ANTM" challenge staple ... the dreaded Cover Girl commercial. However, this year the ladies were able to read from a prompt and weren't required to memorize lines. As a result, the spots were much, much better.

Analeigh won the challenge. Tyra said her commercial was the best in the history of the show. Joslyn did not fair so well. She was sent home. Although she was violently ill and sucked it up to complete the challenge, Tyra told her she wasn't getting rewarded for that. So, there are no brown-skinned contestants left. However, Sheena is still representin'. LOL.

Elina also won a challenge, but that didn't keep her from ending up in the bottom two. Next week may be her last chance to prove to the judges that she isn't too controlled or reserved to be what they want her to be. Maybe she should have saved the emotion and tears she shed in the house for the judging.

So, what do you think? Is it really Elina and Marjorie vs. the world? Should Joslyn have gone home? Was Analeigh's commercial really that great? Is it just me, or are those twisty twins a little unsettling?

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Baby Daddy Drama

I really don't even know what to say about NeNe's latest drama. Actually, "drama" makes it seem like a petty thing -- like the NeNe vs. Sheree drama, but that seems like small potatoes in comparison to what NeNe's dealing with now.

She has reason to question who her father is after getting a letter from a relative. She thought Curtis was her father. That's what her mother (now deceased) had always told her. However, when she asked Curtis his opinion. He confesses that he's always had his doubts. So, NeNe is on the hunt to find out who her father is. Interesting.

It does make you wonder about the timing. Did someone set this in motion in time to be filmed and aired on TV, or is this just pure coincidence. Mmmmm.

In other news, Deshawn thinks it's a realistic goal to raise $1 million in charity in one evening. I did the math. That means 500 people would have to give $2K a piece, or 2,000 people would have to give $500. Either way, I don't see that happening. We shall see; I guess.

Funny line worth mentioning: "Maybe you can hum and get a Grammy," said NeNe after first learning of Kim's aspirations to be a country singer.

Speaking of Kim, it looks like Kim's going to befriend Sheree next week. Where does that leave NeNe? Will NeNe be too wrapped up in her daddy searching to care? Will Deshawn raise all that money? Will Lisa remain the only truly sane one? What do you think?

The Hills: Has Audrina Moved On?

I want to be Brody's best friend. None of my current BFFs have private planes in which to fly me to Cabo. What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, during their getaway, Audrina and Justin have an awkward time. Apparently, Justin is upset that Audrina is dating. Audrina is upset that Justin's not her boyfriend. I understand all too well, so I'm siding with Audrina, and quoting a line from one of Beyonce's latest tunes, "If you liked it, you should have put a ring on it."

The Pratt's continued to be dysfunctional as ever. Stephanie has a boyfriend, and Heidi suggests the two couples double date. Bad idea. Stephanie and her boyfriend show up late -- 40 minutes to be exact -- and Spencer decides to retaliate by ruining everyone's evening. He's rude to his sister's date, and he suggests that Stephanie and Doug may still be seeing one another.

With family like that, who needs enemies? He didn't apologize, but why would he? He never does.

So, what do you think? Will Audrina and Justin reconcile, or is it over? Will Stephanie stop trying to be friends to her brother? Will Lauren ruin another friendship by offering too much man advice? Will Audrina ever get her scrunchie back?

Heroes: Where Have All the Good Guys Gone?

I can't speak for everyone, but there's a certain reason I enjoy superheros. In addition to their extraordinary abilities, they're on the side of good. They have high morals. You can trust them. They're salt-of-the earth people -- even those like Kalel, who's originally from Krypton.

So, that's why this season of "Heroes" is really starting to irk me. Who are the good guys? Who am I supposed to root for? Who can I trust? I know this season is about villains, but I would have preferred Peter, Mohinder and the rest be absent this season than evil.

Sigh.

With that said, I hope the family angle that results from Papa Petrelli's return distracts me from the horrifically, dark story lines.

What do you think? Is this feeling like "Superman III" to you, too?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Where's the Beef?

So, it seems NeNe and Sheree have gotten over the mishap at Sheree's party. The next day the two are civil and kind to one another at the party for Kim's daughter, who's 11th birthday celebration was greater than anything I've ever had in my 30-plus years, but I digress.

I'm glad the two women were able to get along, but I'm seriously doubting their beef is over. I'm sure we haven't heard the last about Sheree's party, and although NeNe is trying to be mature about things, I think it would take only one word or wrong look from Sheree to bring things to a head ... can't wait. LOL.

I could comment more on Kim's daughter's birthday, but Kim realizes her daughter is spoiled. We all witnessed the extravagance. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I'll leave it at that.

What do you think? Are Sheree and NeNe mature enough to never bring up the birthday party drama again? Do you have a favorite housewife yet? Weren't Lisa and her hubby cute!? How can a thousand-dollar cake NOT be good?

Making the Band: ... And Then There Were Three

In a flash, the quintet becomes a trio.

When we last saw the girls, Diddy made it clear that he no longer wanted Aubrey in Danity Kane. Viewers were left with a cliffhanger. Would Diddy change his mind?

No. Diddy did not change his mind and on top of that, D-Woods decided to leave the group, too! Later, Diddy admitted that he wouldn't have cut D-Woods from the group, but I think she was taking a stand for her friend. She and Aubrey were obviously the closest pair in the group. That might not have been the best decision on her part. However, I'm thinking D-Woods will be working towards a solo career soon.

So, where does that leave Aubrey and the rest of the girls? Shook! During the live finale show, Aundrea, Shannon and Dawn were visibly distressed. Maybe they should have had some alcohol on stage to calm the nerves. Aubrey seemed her usual self, but since she always seems to be playing to the cameras, I'm not sure her "usual self" is the real deal.

That may be exactly why Diddy eliminated her. He said she was not the girl he selected for the band years ago. Will that girl return? Who knows, but rumors of another season are swirling. So, we shall see.

Do you think Aubrey and D-Woods will return to the band? Do you want them to?
