Totally Obsessed: The Tudors, Secret Diary of a Callgirl, Supernatural, and WAY More

Hello! I decided to interview myself. (Yes, you read that right.) That’s just the kind of wacky thing I do. That’s how I got my nickname ‘wacky-doer-of-things-Jessica’.

Sofachip: So, Jessica, what is it that you’ve been watching these days - besides what you’ve mentioned on Sofachip already?

Jessica: A crazy amount of goodness that fills me up with all the angst, joy, and vitamins I need.

SC: But you didn’t answer - What exactly have you been watching, though? What did you watch today?

Jessica: Fine, fine. I’ll speak. I currently have Supernatural season one on DVD which I’ve been watching and just flat-out adoring. I just watched the Bloody Mary episode about an hour ago. See, I had seen most of the first half of the season, but not the rest. I saw the majority of season two, and all of season three. So I wanted to go back - it’s very rewarding to have seen the recent episodes and then go back to the initial ones and see how it all started. Also, these DVDs are honestly possibly the best DVDs I’ve ever seen in terms of TV shows on DVD.

SC: Why is that?

From Scandal to Soundtrack: The Sex and the City Movie Aftermath

Should we discuss the Sex and the City movie? I think we should. I’m listening to the soundtrack right now. I’m very pleased that The Weepies were included on the soundtrack because since I heard ‘The World Spins Madly On’ in the movie Because I Said So (very fun and light chick flick with Diane Keaton, Tom Everett Scott*, Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham, Piper Perabo* and Stephen Collins) I’ve been loving them. I could do without the Fergie track, but the supa-fine tracks by Jennifer Hudson (American Idol alum), Jem, and india.arie make up for that.

As for the dress debacle with Sarah Jessica Parker at the New York premiere, well, yes, I do have an opinion.

Why Some Teens Shouldn’t go to College

To clear things up right away, if you read this entire piece you’ll see that I’m not actually advocating people not get a higher education, unless they’re fictional. Now, I have a note of importance to make! James Lafferty (Nathan Scott on One Tree Hill) actually looks attractive with longer hair. I don’t like him with shorter hair, it makes his face look so square. Square faces = not that great. I’ll take the time to point out that I watched the season finale of One Tree Hill, mostly just because it was on and I didn’t want to move away from my fan when it was hitting my bare legs just so, cause hey - it’s suddenly hot! The finale wasn’t horrible. But I do not understand how they’re dealing with Peyton. Pathetic much?

The idea of her throwing water balloons from a roof does sound therapeutic, but there’s a point where you become a crazy ex-girlfriend and I think she’s hit it. She’s gone past the normal point of leaving a million messages, by painting ‘I love you’ a million times on a basketball court. I may not have great psyche into the male mind, but I do know that this is where some TV shows romanticize things way too much. That’s why Sex and the City is more relatable. Guys (or people, actually, in general) are more often jackasses who break-up with you on a post-it note. I’m not bitter or jaded by humanity, but I know better than to expect that kind of treatment. I see people making catchy bumper stickers about how Fairy Tales and Disney movies ruined life for them by having them expect too much. But will no one look back in twenty years and say the same of some of these shows?

Though I am not a huge fan of One Tree Hill (OTH) - I haven’t heard a bunch of fans say they’ve disliked any particular season. If I’m wrong, correct me. The thing that OTH is doing right, that so many shows have done wrong - is

Why I’ll Defend Sarah Jessica Parker’s Wacky Hat

So, the Sex and the City movie premiere happened in London, and Sarah Jessica Parker wore this on her head:

People might call her ridiculous. People may suggest she wanted to overcompensate for being so short. People might say she’s wacky. I say, she’s fabulous and she is the only person who could pull this off and not make me laugh at them. She’s having fun, and isn’t that the whole point of being a fashion icon?

Real Gossip Girl Style

On the show, Gossip Girl (a guilty-pleasure of every female under 40), Blake Lively plays Serena van der Woodsen. Serena is a Mary Sue. That is, a perfect character that is always blameless, no matter what. Did she crash a car, steal a diamond, and swear at the Pope? Psh, that’s totally fine!

As you might be able to tell, I find it a tad annoying. Then again, maybe I’m biased because I did happen to read a couple of the books. In the books Serena was no where near as perfect as this. (For that matter, she didn’t have a brother, and Blair wasn’t so evil. Oh, and Jenny has a crush on Nate - who is a total slacker/stoner. Read the books if you don’t believe me.)

NONETHELESS! Serena has nice style on the show. Let’s examine Lively’s style.

Her she is on the streets of NYC. This isn’t quite Serena’s style (and the makeup isn’t near screen-flawless) so we can tell right away this is a candid of her, not a scene from the show. And what do we think of Lively’s style? She seems to have a disheveled-prepster thing going on. I neither love it or hate it. The cutest accessory here is undoubtably her little pooch. Although, I really love that fashionable-yet-casual brown bag. As an avid bag connoisseur, I can tell you that the bag probably costs more than your rent. (Click on the photo to see a larger image.)

People seem to be a fan of Lively’s dress at the Tribeca Film Festival Chanel dinner. I have to say, I’m not. It’s not that it makes me cringe, it’s that it makes me wonder… why? Why, God, why? Did Lively look in the mirror before leaving for the event? I want to like this dress. But it seems like it’s trying too hard to be edgy and unique, and it does stand out, but not for the right reasons. The dress goes in too many different directions, and there are too many textures competing against each other. But, at the same time - I adore what’s happening south of her ankles (to steal a Sex and the City quote from Carrie Bradshaw), and her hair is playful - if not maybe a little too scraggly. Time to deep condition, Blake. (Click on the photo to see a larger image.)
