The City (Season 1 Episode 2)

There was a second...
Like the dumby I am, I forgot that there was a second episode on the same night. Well, this episode of The City continued the story of Whitney's life as she got a little tour from Olivia to Bergdorf's. Whitney got her first pair of Manolo's and Olivia, as she stated about five million times, got her one hundreth pair. First of all, let me get into the fact that Olivia is by far my favorite character, as I think I did mention that in my last entry, and her attitude is beyond what I've expected...superb! I love her snotty sort of style, but at the same time her devious attitude behind everything she says. Back to the episode, it was a bit out there when Olivia did say that her first pair of MB heels were when she was 18 (to Whitney) and then 17 (to Manolo)...are we overexaggerating? lying? From some of the posts I've seen about this socialite, it seems that she isn't what MTV is trying to make her look like. Olivia may actually be a real person wanting fame and fortune. Not too sure on the actual story, but we'll play with MTV's perspective for now. Anyways, Whitney did her first fashion show with DVF and it was an awesome step into the world of fashion. Finally, Whitney met with Kelly (from People's Revolution) and they discussed Whitney's personal life and how that was going. This episode kind of started the real thinking about Jay and where he and Whitney stood in a relationship perspective. Of course there was conflict between Alex (Whitney's former hook-up) and Jay at a club about rumors that were sort of going around, but it was pretty much resolved when Adam backed them off of each other. So this episode was all in all another "Pilot" sort of thing, but we'll see if the NYC is really what Whitney wanted in future episodes.

Bromantic Premiere

Totally Awesome Word; The Show, it's A Start
Well, I'll make this very short. As much as I think Brody and his entourage are awesome people, their show, it may need a little work. The shows theme is like any other competitive reality show, but what really hits it off for guys is the chance to be Brody's bff and enter his world of fame, fortune, and girls! The one thing I didn't really like about the show was the sense of scripty-talk after major scenes, when Brody would come on and give his commentary about that part...it just seemed a little too scripted. But as for this show and blog, I will make sure to keep updated on people who stand out in the crowd. Good Luck Brody to your new Bromance!

The City SEASON PREMIERE

What A Beautiful Life

From the madness of fashion week to the craziness of society, The City has hit MTV's list of hottest shows! This episode of The City, really gave you a sense of all of the people in the show, and how they will be affecting Whitney. On a first note, my favorite character by far so far is Olivia. At first she seemed to be a sort of obnoxious socialite, which she is, but after she invited Whitney to her dinner gathering, I believe that she had some other motives; to not only create a relationship with Whitney, but to find out more about Whitney's life, in a shady sort of way. My second favorite character is Adam. He is a genuine friend to Jay, who plays a big part in Whitney's life, and really guides Jay in ways that won't complicate Jay and Whitney's relationship...good friend! This epsiode didn't really have too much drama, which I hope doesn't take over too much of the show, but it did have a fast pace, just like the NY lifestyle, and it also skimmed through every aspect that the show will be having. Good luck Whitney and friends, and I can't wait for more!

The Hills (Season 4 Episode 20) SEASON FINALE


The End Has Come, Perfectly.
It finally came, after a whole season and a half of waiting.
The moment that Lauren and Heidi made up! It began as an akward sort of get together, but in the end, after some tears shed and chuckles slipped, the two besties hugged it out for a future friendship. It was great to see that Lauren made the effort to tell Heidi that she's there for her. Although this season finale wasn't as expected, being that there was no wow! surprise! or OMG!, it was nice to see that everyone in the show had a part. Audrina and Justin finally got away from all of the drama, and took a break with each other in Palm Springs. Spencer, who I must say earned a good star this episode, listened to Heidi's mother and didn't make the marriage legal in the US, and decided to wait it off for a large fantasy wedding that Heidi has always dreamed of. This season finale was a nice happy ending for the entire cast, and I really really really can't wait for season five to hit fall 2009.

The Hills (Season 4 Episode 18 &19)


From Nothing to Holy Pratt!

Nothing much really happend in episode eighteen except that MTV totally gave away the hint of Whitney moving to "The City". But, as for episode nineteen, the couple are officially the Pratts! As much as I hope they last, I will say that it will be hard on both families, especially Heidi's, to accept this huge news! It finally was announced on the show that Heidi and Spencer tied the knot, after it was reported all over tabloids and celeb news. I believe that Spencer had to be a total idiot, not like I didn't know that, because he sort of tricked Heidi into getting married. First of all, Heidi was totally wasted on Patrone and Tequila that night, and Spencer knew that he needed to convince her before the trip, therefore, why not get Heidi drunk then ask her while she's in her sane mindset. Dumb! We'll see how their relationship will last. The second most traggic news was Whitney officially leaving. Lauren and Whitney have made it so far in life together, remembering when they first started at Teen Vogue, and now Whitney is moving on to new and better experiences. Now this was a nice and simple entry, but I'll make it up next week, when the drama really begins.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008


Not That Bright of a Shine

This year's experience, not so hot. It was quite a different viewing experience as the Victoria's Secret Angels strut their stuff down the newly added, and may I say untraditional, catwalk. This year, the catwalk appeared sidewards; picture this: a stage. So, unlike many of the past years, this year's opening wasn't all that great either. First of all, the show opened up with Usher, who I must say did a great performance for a 40 year old. While he did his thing, models walked, as well as flirted, pass in nonchalant costumes that could have been made in minutes. But, there were a few great parts of this year's show. One being the ever so beautiful women of the renowned Angels. Beauty captured everyone's eyes it made the woman in the crowd want to just lose 150+ lbs. after watching. Of course, the men in the crowd laid back hopefully controlling themselves. And finally, the charasmatic attitudes that everyone expressed. It was great to see that an economically deprived show had such great attitude and energy all over the place! It was no doubt a great experience thanks to those two show inputs. I am hoping for a more decked out show next year, but until then, we'll just have to thank Santa for the awesome show he gave us this year.

The Hills (Season 4 Episode 17)

Happy Endings Don't Come Easy

As hoped, Audrina and Lauren finally made up. During their dinner at Thomesons, they sat and had a nice chat about all of the problems that were going on and all of the faults Audrina had made. It was so nice to see that Audrina has finally realized that she needs time to herself. She has lost the sense of who she is as a person, being so caught up in the drama and life with Justin. What Audrina really needs now is a strong foundation, created by her own image, and a strong support team, made up of her most true friends. After the dinner, it seemed, through facial expression, that Lauren still hadn't gotten everything off her mind. It looked as if she was in a sense happy for the future of her and Audrina's relationship, but at the same time cocky and "I told you so". Who knows? That was the sum up of that quarrel. But, now now now, things don't seem to be going well with the oh so kind Pratts. Heidi, Spencer, and Stephanie (I know it's shocking to see the triangle together again) visited Nana Pratt in Huntington. Heidi and Spencer have supposedly been routinely visiting Nana, but Stephanie has many visits to go if she wants to keep up with the cute newlyweds. When the threesome arrived at Nana's house, Spencer continuously put down Stephanie and made her feel guilty about not visiting their Nana as often as he and Heidi did. Spencer is so obnoxious, I really don't know how the Nana does not realize that Spencer is truly a deceitful person. No, he's her favorite! What's up with that?! Anyways, plans have worked out in favor of Stephanie as they will be hanging out more in the future, but of course Stephanie will have to earn her keep. Seems like next episode highlights the Pratt family fun, oh yay!
