Despite the fact that I lost interest in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles three episodes in, it’s been renewed for a second season. The show probably isn’t even bad, I just didn’t have the motivation to watch it, commercials and all. (No, I don’t have any fancy TiVo/DVR schtuffs. Alas!) I think this is a show I may get the DVDs of sometime (I’m sure they’ll come out) and sit down to watch when I can really get into it all. It was hard to watch the show when I’d never seen any of the movies. You wanna know what movies I’m (re) watching lately? You’ve Got Mail*, Sabrina, I Am Legend, Desperately Seeking Susan and His Girl Friday.

Anyway, Lena Headey and Summer Glau were at the Fox TV upfronts. They looked interesting.

Lena, I’m not a huge fan of your haircut because it makes your hair seem limp, just hanging there - emphasizing your square face. So I kind of wish you’d do something else with it. Now, your uh…pantsuit, looks fine when I look at it and scroll down slowly - it would have been a cute sundress - the blue hue is lovely, and the moddish white flowers are pretty. However, I don’t even know what to begin calling the bunched, elastic-cuffed pant things. Designer clown-inspired pants?

Aside: I’m not a fan of tattoos, but you make them seem elegant. Neat.

Summer, you look like a sun-drenched flower. I suspect people somewhere are commenting on your toes (larger picture below the first). I hope they take into consideration all of the ballet training and dancing you did - and realize flaws make people more beautiful and unique. I’m glad you refuse to hide them. I love the strappy sandals. Read the full article

The writer’s Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain were fired as writers on Women’s Murder Club, but it turned out to be a lucky move. Because now they’re writers on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. If you had to ask me which show I’d rather attach my name to, there’s just no comparing.

Already proving to be generous to the fans, the two writers answered questions on DollhouseTVForum. They also prove their witty writing chops, and I completly understand why Whedon picked them. When asked how Dollhouse would differ from other Whedon shows, their first quip was (the interview doesn’t specify which) “It’s going to be boring and badly written.” *Rimshot* What can I say, I’m a sucker for self-deprecating humor. Which is a trademark Whedon style. Yes, I learn from the master. He’s like Yoda. But not green. Er…was Yoda green? Well, you know what I mean.

Another one of the answers in the interview was, “Hmmmm. We’re gonna go with no. And yes. When you see the show, you’ll understand why that’s a tough one.” I think I might have two new favorite writers. Anyway, the link to the interview is above, and I highly suggest reading it! Something I recently found out that Shana is a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so no doubt she will be tuning in to check out the show!

I severely don’t like Grey’s Anatomy. However, I have seen bits and pieces - enough to reference it in a jaded and cynical manner, as well as really dislike all of the characters. And that’s all that counts.

Here is super exclusive access to part of an AIM conversation I had today:

Why, hello there - I’d greet you with a double kiss on each cheek since I’m so outrageously French these days, but we don’t want to miss the action. *Ushers you to your seats, a booming voice is then heard* And there they are! It’s some of the cast of The CW’s addictive TV show Gossip Girl! Only, I heard addictions were BAD, so I stay away - mostly. I once took a sacred vow…but it involves haunted carnivals and I just can’t get emotional right now… but I also made another vow. And that was that even if I don’t care about a show (or movie) I must always care about the fashion! That’s what’s really important. Not the writing, acting, or ratings. Just what the actresses wear to events like The CW’s upfronts in Manhatten.

Here we see two starlets: Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. There are rumors these two hate each other (I didn’t start them, honest). I have no clue. So either they’re both really happy for the success of the show, and to have made such nice friends in Hollywood…. Or Blake’s pinching Leighton’s hand while Leighton is jabbing Blake in the back. Are those happy smiles, or strained winces? You decide.

AND FOR THE PIECE D’RESISTANCE…

I stumbled upon the Duckcloth Blog today. DuckCloth sells fabrics in different prints which is all kinds of fun and I wish I could sew - and since I have a sewing machine, you’d think I could (it’s all a rouse!) The patterns available include some animal prints (yay, animals). When I saw them the very first thing I thought of was Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) of Bones. Even when it comes to babies, she doesn’t very much like the thought of animals being depicted illogically - as we learned in the episode Baby in the Bough.

But I think they’re great fun. I’m especially loving the French Poodles. It combines my love of girlish glee, animals, and all things French! I’m sure Bones would say that animals do not want to wear full outfits, or even little bows. She might also point out that pigs don’t stand upright, and turtles are not red - “…except for the rare so-and-so turtle with a red-spotted shell. Which a baby would never be near unless they somehow were abandoned in an African cave in the 1800’s.” Well, that’s what I picture her saying! If you can think of other quotes that Bones might say about the way cartoon animals are depicted on blankets, as toys, etc - share them in a comment!

Turtles probably aren’t in Africa, huh?
