Modern family is by far my favorite scripted show on television. It’s funny, it’s witty, and to quote an audience member at The Paley Center, the writers “write up” to their audience and not “down to” them. When the cast members discussed their show at the 2012 PaleyFest, you could immediately understand its success. These actors have the same chemistry in real life that they do on television. It’s a huge gift that they are even willing to attend such an event and let the audience in on the show’s process. Watch below.
Isabel Toledo on The View — Spectacular Fashion
Isabel Toledo appeared on The View to promote her new collection, and she hit it out of the park. She shot to super-stardom when she dressed Michelle Obama for President Obama’s inauguration and she certainly has the design-chops for a long-sustaining career. She doesn’t really need my promotion, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Watch below.
Ashley Judd’s ‘Missing’ — Thrilling ABC Pilot
I read some of the reviews for ABC’s new Ashley Judd thriller, ‘Missing’, and all the Hollywood-big-hitters seem to hate it. Perhaps I’m missing something (pun intended), but I loved it. Ashley Judd is a force on screen, and she proves movie stars will always make for the best television stars. In fact, I thought the supporting players paled in comparison. I’ll refrain from a tedious plot summary, except to say that Judd plays an ex CIA agent who’s trying to locate her son after he’s been kidnapped. It’s unclear from the pilot why he’s been kidnapped, or what Judd’s work at the CIA actually involved, but I’m sure those details will unfold in the subsequent episodes. The one-note plot might be unsustainable for multiple seasons, but the pilot certainly caught my attention. Screw the Hollywood-big-hitters! The Dishmaster approves!
Katya Zharkova Proves Modeling Industry Must Change
I love curvy women. In fact, all of my celebrity girl-crushes have curves (see Selma Hayek & Jennifer Lopez). And though I walk out of the room backwards when there’s a man in my bed, the Plus Model Magazine images below have certainly helped with my process. Look below to see America’s Next Top Model contestant, Katya Zharkova, posing naked in heels, and click here to read some startling statistics about the modeling industry.

Vintage Quote of the Day — Alanis Morissette Explains “My Humps” Video
“I was in the studio with (producer) Guy Sigsworth and he would say, ‘What horse from the apocalypse are you bringing in today, Alanis?’ Because every song was this tsunami of emotions. So I said, ‘I wish I could just write a really simple song – a song like My Humps.’ Then we had a pregnant pause, looked at each other, and said, ‘All right, let’s do it!’ Within moments we were recording the piano version of it, and within a week we were shooting the video in my garage here at my house.” Alanis Morissette, on the inspiration behind her “My Humps” cover (no pun intended). Watch below.

Video: David Spade Makes Fun of The Bachelor — Hilarious!
David Spade hit it out of the park with his Funny or Die spoof on The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik. Though he’s a little too good-looking to pull it off, Spade’s really honed in on Flajnik’s anger-filled personality, saying, “I’m secretly a dick, but no one’s gonna find out until after they get their ring.” Since I’ve been saying for months that Flajnik has anger issues, I found Spade’s spoof especially entertaining. Watch below.

Ali Landry Tells Wendy Williams Mario Lopez Cheated — GASP!
When Ali Landry filed for an annulment just two weeks after marrying Mario Lopez, people speculated he cheated on her. Neither party confirmed it, until Mario Lopez went on Howard Stern and basically said he only married Landry because he “was given an ultimatum.” He admitted to cheating, but he showed zero remorse. I always wondered why Landry didn’t take the opportunity to publicly bash him, because after all, what’s the point of being famous if you can’t bash your exes on national television? Apparently, Landry finally got the celebrity-memo, and she finally discussed her breakup with Wendy Williams. Watch below.
American Idol Producers Confront Jermaine Jones On Air — Immoral?
This post is difficult to write because of my Dishmaster bias. I’ve met Nigel Lythgoe, and he’s one of the coolest, nicest guys in this business. That being said, I think he made the wrong decision in airing his conversation with Jermaine Jones. It’s absolutely disgusting to take a troubled kid and expose his dirty laundry on a national forum in what was akin to a cross-examination. This should have taken place off the air. It’s too personal, and there comes a point where it’s more important to be a human being than a producer. Watch below.
