Sorry for any inconvenience the venue change and cancellation/relaunching has caused. We’re definitely looking forward to seeing everyone there. Hopefully you can drop by.

For the second year in a row, CBS has drawn the ire of GLAAD for having exactly zero LGBT characters on any of their shows. Suffering from embarrassment, The Eye network is adding three queer characters to three of their high-profile shows for the upcoming 2010-2011 season. Hopefully this course of action will please the TV watchdogs over at GLAAD.

“I’m very disappointed in our track record so far,” said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler. “We know and we will do better.”

The very talented Julianna Marguiles will receive a gay brother on The Good Wife, while the highly-anticipated William Shatner vehicle, S#*! My Dad Says, also gets a visit from the gay stork. Don’t worry my lesbian sisters, you’ll get representation as well on David Spade’s comedy Rules of Engagement.

Before catching the premiere of Jersey Shore’s second season tonight on MTV, why not relive all the magic of the first season on DVD. MTV has compiled Jersey Shore’s wicked first season and jam-packed it with a whole whackload of never-before-seen extras all in one convenient DVD set. If you’re a hardcore fan of the show, this balls-out look at the phenomenon is a must-have.

Not only does the 3-disc-set have all nine episodes that aired on MTV, but this time they’re all uncensored. What does that mean? You get to watch Snooki’s infamous bar beatdown that MTV never aired. Wait, it only gets better. If it pleases you, an option to watch the episode with commentary from Snooki and The Situation is available. It’s pretty frickin’ hilarious to hear the Jersey crew mock the douchebag who sucker-punched Snookers.

I’m BACK! Thanks to Richie for last week and doing a brilliant job filling in! So we’re back again to watch the top six dancers perform as the judges decided to keep all the contestants from last week as it was blatantly obvious that Jose was about to be sent home (or the injured Billy Bell) and heaven forbid that happen. I am really starting to get tired of the two hour format of this show. It is absolutely unnecessary for this show to be taking up this much time with only six dancers left. Thankfully two dancers are leaving us this week inching ever closer to the finale.

KENT BOYD

The first dancer to take to the stage is my boy Kent dancing a ChaCha routine with all-star Anya. The danced a Jean-Marc and France routine to My First Kiss by 3Oh!3 ft. Ke$ha. Thank goodness this was Kent’s routine or I would have fast forwarded from the minute they announced the ChaCha. I’ll give Kent credit, he did a decent job with this piece. Until the end. When he almost dropped Anya. Seriously, that was a hot mess tonight! Fantastic, they’ve added a fourth judge to the panel for more useless filler…

It’s not the Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep collaboration people were hoping for, but it’ll do. That’s all (in Miranda Priestly voice). Academy-winning star, Meryl Streep, and 30 Rock funny lady, Tina Fey, will play a mother-daughter duo in an upcoming comedy, Mommy & Me. The film will be directed by Stanley Tucci.

This marks the third time in recent years that Tucci and Streep will be working together. The two starred in The Devil Wears Prada and Julia & Julia. Not much is known about the plotline of Mommy & Me, but it will spotlight the thorny and funny sides of mother-daughter relationships. Ouch. Is Meryl old enough to play Tina’s mom?

I’d watch anything with Streep, but throw in Tina Fey to the mix, someone better save me a seat on opening day. While Streep has been a movie star for years, Fey is slowly building her film resume during 30 Rock’s summer hiatuses. Her most recent outing, Date Night with Steve Carell grossed nearly $100 million domestically. If Mommy & Me is remotely entertaining, it could easily surpass that total and become Fey’s biggest box office hit.

What do you think of this pairing? Match made in heaven or the second coming of Death Becomes Her (Streep & Goldie Hawn)?

‘Touch‘ is the first single from her fourth studio album, ‘Strip Me,’ which will be released later this year and it is one of my favorite songs this year. It’s super catchy and tells the story of fate and how some things that may seem like an accident are meant to happen, so that great things may fall into place as a result. In the case of the lyrics of the song, what starts as an accident in spilling coffee turns out to be the instigator in a chain of events to follow that results in two people meeting and falling in love. This verse in the song explains that perfectly: “Every choice we make and every road we take. Every interaction starts a chain reaction. We’re both affected when we least expect it, and then when we touch and it all connected…”

In this video interpretation of the song directed by Rich Lee, the stories of the two people that fall in love later in life is told by showing simultaneous clips of what each of them were doing at certain points in their life. It’s crazy when you think of it that way. When you think that each person in a relationship does all these things before you, and each of those actions and series of events eventually brings them to you. The video is Touching.

Two people that don’t have strong alliances are up on the block: Kathy and Andrew. Everyone is questioning why Matt didn’t put up Brendon and Rachel, since they clearing are everyone’s target – especially the brigade. At this point, it looks as though Brendon is the target for backdooring (who wouldn’t). Kathy goes for the token “save me” chat with HOH Matt, but he just tells her to fight the good fight (like his wife is with her fake disease) since he doesn’t have a vote in the end.

As time has passed since the nominations, Andrew starts losing his cool and starts screaming because Rachel had put peaches in the iced tea which made him not able to have any, as a have not. Andrew is pretty much the focus of this episode, being up on the block, freaking out about iced tea, and his own cleaning montage, obsessively cleaning up after everyone in the house.

Time to pick players for the Veto competition. Matt plays since he’s HOH, and Kathy & Andrew play since they are up on the block. The three other players selected are Brendon, Lane, Rachel – with the host, Enzo. WOOOHOO! I’m loving that Brendon and Rachel are in the competition to rub it in the brigade’s face. As Matt and Lane stew in the HOH room over the fact that Brendon and Rachel got picked, Lane says, “Gimme some pop rocks!” Later on, Enzo joins them and they watch Andrew on the the surveillance cameras. “This is kosher cable,” says Enzo.

In preparation for tonight’s Project Runway season eight premiere, I thought I’d reminisce about some of my favorite PR designers who were auf wiedersehen’d way before their time. Without fail, there’s at least a couple of talented designers cut in favor of less talented designers due to them being reality TV gold. I love good TV and drama so I appreciate why this is done but at the same time I would’ve loved to see the following designers’ creations in future challenges.

10. Daniel Franco – Season 2

Outlasted By: Zulema Griffin & Guadalupe Vidal
Poor Daniel Franco. At least he can take solace with the fact he’ll always be a trivial pursuit answer for being the first designer ever eliminated on Project Runway. I have to give Mr. Franco credit for trying out again for Season Two to prove his designing skills. In his second attempt, I felt he found his stride and was poised to go far-not win but far. Unfortunately for him lingerie was his undoing. Though his collection was Dynasty-80s cheese, it was at least wearable compared to Santino’s deer-gingerbread-house inspired outfits. They were heinous. But as the leader of his group, Franco owned up to his shortcomings and took the fall and was eliminated.

Mrs. Chris Martin is taking another stab in her husband’s line of work, but this time she’s going country. For her upcoming movie, Gwyneth Paltrow is playing an alcoholic country singer (Kelly Canter) who’s recently out of rehab looking to jumpstart her career. Country Strong was shot in Nashville and co-stars Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Tim McGraw.

This is the first time Paltrow has sung for a movie since the release of 2000’s Duets. Then, she sang two songs, one of which was a duet on Cruisin‘ with Huey Lewis. Gwyneth provides the vocals for “Country Strong” which was released to country radio on Monday July 28. Not sure how the movie will do, but the single and soundtrack released by RCA Records will most probably hit the No. 1 spot on the country music charts.
