Heidi Klum Cuts the Sleeves of Mondo Guerra’s Dress — Ruined it?

If you watched the Project Runway finale, you might have noticed, as Tim Gunn says, the judges were “smoking crack.”  Nine Garcia and Michael Kors chose the wrong winner, despite Heidi Klum’s protests.  As part of their deliberation, Garcia and Kors accused Mondo’s clothing of being “unwearable,” and Heidi insisted that she would wear the polka dot dress.  Michael Kors then told Heidi that Mondo didn’t listen to his suggestion by “cutting off the sleeves” to avoid the model looking like a “polka dot sausage.”  At the time I heard this, I thought Michael Kors was out of his mind.  The dress was incredible, and Heidi kept her word by wearing it to an event.  The problem?  She cut the sleeves off!! Did Michael Kors successfully bully her twice?  I realize that Mondo must adhere to Heidi’s request, but  this ruined the dress.  Look at the two pictures below, and tell me if you agree.

What Happened to Jessica Simpson’s Voice?

I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened to Jessica Simpson’s voice.  When she first arrived on the music scene ten years ago, she could actually sing.  Now, her voice is almost unrecognizable.  My only guess is that she’s no longer as tightly managed, and she lost sight of how to properly sing.  Listen to the two songs below.  In the first song, she’s singing I Wanna Love You Forever, and it’s actually enjoyable.  In the second, she’s singing her new Christmas song, My Only Wish, which is getting compared to Mariah Carey’s  famous song, All I Want for Christmas.  I’m less concerned about the blatant plagiarism and more concerned that it’s not listenable.

Project Runway Season 8 Finale — The Worst Decision in History

I have never been so stunned by a Project Runway decision in my the eight seasons of the show.  Weeks ago, when I saw Gretchen’s collection, I assumed she was actually a decoy, and I was shocked to discover she made it to the finale.  Then, after watching the final show, and seeing the originality of Mondo Guerra’s collection, I figured it would be a very easy choice.  Instead, the four judges (including Jessica Simpson) were divided down the middle, and Nina Garcia and Michael Kors somehow bullied Heidi Klum and Jessica Simpson into picking Gretchen.  Jessica Simpson surprised me most, because she had the simplest, yet most poignant critique of Gretchen’s collection, saying, “everything looks loose,” and later responding to Nina Garcia and Michael Kors’ excessive rambling by simply saying, “I’m still going with Mondo.”  Michael Kors and Nina Garcia picked Gretchen because “she’s what’s happening now in fashion,” despite Heidi’s insistence that this is a high fashion show, and it shouldn’t be about what’s most “wearable.”  I imagine that Michael Kors picked the “ready-to-wear” collection, because that’s most aligned with his own aesthetic, given that Michael Kors doesn’t specialize in high-fashion.  I’m pissed.  I’m pissed that I continued to waste my time watching this season even though the judges made terrible decisions every episode.  I’m also pissed that my favorite part of the show was watching Tim Gunn’s facebook video blogs, and Tim Gunn stopped recording the blogs after “hurting a Producer from Lifetime.”  And finally, I’m pissed because Mondo deserved to win the finale, and I hate to see someone robbed of their title.

UPDATE: Apparently, Tim Gunn agrees with me. Watch the video below.

Best Entourage Cameos

I confess that I don’t regularly watch Entourage, but my brother is an avid fan, and he often calls me about very funny celebrity cameos.  My favorite is Jessica Simpson, who proved that she has a sense of humor about herself.  Watch video of top cameos below.

JESSICA SIMPSON

In Jessica Simpson’s cameo, Ari is trying to persuade her to let him represent her again. Simpson refuses, and Ari gives her a dog to replace her precious Maltipoo, Daisy, that died last year. Simpson thinks the gift is inappropriate, and tells him off.

MATT DAMON

Matt Damon’s cameo comes a close second to Jessica Simpson’s. In the episode, he asks Vince to donate money to his charity, and Vince reluctantly complies, but never sends Damon the check. Damon calls Vince to yell at him, and has a bit of a breakdown in the process.

TOM BRADY

Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg sign up for a charity golf tournament, and Turtle ignores Brady, because Turtle is a Giants fan.  When he approaches Brady, his feelings are quickly side-lined when Brady compliments Turtle’s girlfriend, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and invites the two over for dinner with him and Gisele Bundchen.  I suppose a celebrity invite trumps just about anything.

VAL KILMER

Val Kilmer’s episode is up there with my favorites, because Kilmer is so insane, I think his character might be close to the truth. He plays an extreme pot-head, and he sells the entourage some high quality herb.

LARRY DAVID

Larry David could be funny without speaking. The Seinfeld co-creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star, shows up to Ari’s office, demanding to know why Ari didn’t take him to the Lakers game, as promised.

Attention Tabloids: Stop Calling Jessica Simpson Fat

Here’s my new policy: unless you have any creative endeavors in the pipeline, tabloid magazines should refrain from reporting about your goings-on.  That includes Jessica Simpson, who constantly makes the rags solely because of her weight gain.  And just when you get a breather from those unflattering photos, you get highly airbrushed pictures of Simpson on the covers of non-tabloid magazines, discussing how comfortable she is with her body.  I’m sick of it.  I don’t care that she’s comfortable with her “curves,” nor do I care that she has them.  In fact, I like her gigantic boobies and ass, and I found myself highly depressed when she was in Dukes of Hazzard, because I thought, if Jessica Simpson can get down to a size zero in less than three months, I should be able to accomplish the same.  Unfortunately, my ass never met the challenge.  Summation?  Leave the girl alone, and get some new people to pick-on.

Jessica Simpson Airbrushing — It’s Not Her Fault

Jessica Simpson is getting heat for her airbrushed pictures in Lucky Magazine, particularly because she spent most of the interview discussing how comfortable she is with her “fuller” body. Though I usually don’t take the time to defend Jessica Simpson, I’ve decided to change my policy on this one. Simpson has absolutely nothing to do with Lucky Magazine’s decision to airbrush her. She might suggest that they don’t, but the ultimate decision lies with the magazine, and she has no control. Plus, I doubt she’s gonna throw her weight around for a much-coveted magazine cover (no pun intended). So leave the girl alone please.

Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo Reality Show — Have You Learned Nothing Nick?

Nick Lachey recently said that he might interested in a reality show about his relationship with Vanessa Minnillo.  What’s that saying?  “Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me?”  To be fair, he said “never say never,” and is not currently shopping anything around.  That being said, when the interviewer asked the question, I expected an emphatic, “Hell Fu*K No!”  A friend of mine knew a producer from Newlyweds, who quit the business after the show.  She allegedly said that she takes full blame for breaking-up the Jessica Simpson/Nick Lachey marriage, and insists that those producers engaged in morally questionable behavior, often meddling in their marriage for ratings.  I’m aware that Simpson and Lachey signed up for the show, but that was before reality television producers became known for their manipulative behavior.  Five years later, there is no excuse.  Nick — you’re on your own.

American Idol Rumor — Nigel Lythgoe to Return?

There’s only one thing that can save American Idol, and it’s Nigel Lythgoe.  Rumor has it that the folks over at Idol are getting him back as a producer.  Since leaving , the show has taken a serious turn for the worse, and Lythgoe plans to rescue it by wiping out the current judging panel altogether.  That means he’ll likely have to pay off Randy Jackson, who is said to still be under contract.  Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres were probably only signed for a year, so good riddance!  The names currently floating around include: Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, and Elton John.  The only person that excites me about that panel is Jessica Simpson.  Though she profusely annoys me, she’ll certainly bring the Paula factor back.  Plus, she’s pretty to look at.  I give a big no to Elton John and Justin Timberlake.  Timberlake is still too relevant for the show, and Elton John was a terrible mentor when he appeared years ago.  Just because you’re a successful musician, doesn’t mean you make for good television.
