What the Frock, Claudia Jordan?

June 30, 2009

Welcome, once again, to "What the Frock?" where we question the stylistic sanity of our favorite TV actresses.

This sunday were the BET Awards, and many stars brought their fashion A-game to the red carpet, where the talk of the day was the tragic loss of Michael Jackson, which cast a dark but deserved shadow over the proceedings.

Claudia Jordan was not one of those stars. In fact, she brings to mind a joke:

Q. What do you get when you cross one former Celebrity Apprentice contestant, a little girl's bedskirt, and an over-active Bedazzler gun?

Celebs Offer Conan Words of Wisdom for First 'Tonight Show'

June 1, 2009

After 16 years of filming Late Night with Conan O'Brien, tonight the redheaded funnyman begins his new gig as the host of The Tonight Show. He'll be joined by Will Ferrell, musical guest Pearl Jam, and will have former Late Night co-host Andy Richter by his side once more.

In anticipation of his Tonight debut, many of Conan's celebrity friends--including 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin, Apprentice host Donald Trump, and others--offered words of encouragement and advice to O'Brien, who will have all of America watching to see how he makes the gig his own.

As O'Brien recently told the New York Times, "There's an opportunity to put my stamp on this show. I've got an ego, and I want to do my Tonight Show."

The Celebrity Apprentice: It's Annie Duke vs Joan Rivers (Impersonators)

May 27, 2009

So here are one of those moments when, after you read it, you initially go, "what?" followed by "why?" and, finally, ended with an "oh well".  That, or it's funny.  But let me do a proper introduction here--just when you thought the Annie Duke-Joan Rivers feud on The Celebrity Apprentice is over, well, think again.

The star poker player announced that she will hold a charity tournament today, at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, where she will go up against twenty Joan Rivers impersonators.  Now that's a page lifted from what the real Joan Rivers did in the final task...

NBC's 2009-2010 Lineup: 'Chuck' to Midseason, Jay Leno Everywhere

May 19, 2009

After its initial announcement last month about the shows it would pick up, today NBC revealed its official 2009-2010 schedule and also made several official cancellations.

My Name is Earl and Medium are both gone, though there are possibilities that both shows could be picked up by rival networks.  For My Name is Earl, it's especially difficult since the season ended with a cliffhanger.

The Celebrity Apprentice closed out the spring reality season with a controversial decision. Donald Trump fired Annie Duke, the person with all the right business qualifications, in favor of Joan Rivers, the older candidate who perhaps had her charity priorities in better order.


The Celebrity Apprentice: A Slap to the Face of the Format

May 12, 2009

"Oh goodness," I told myself after doing the episode recap for the penultimate episode of the recently concluded The Celebrity Apprentice.  I wasn't worried about Donald Trump's decision to have bitter rivals Joan Rivers and Annie Duke face off in the final task, really--I had that coming, simply because they've been dominant the past season, for better or worse--but more because it was a three-hour finale.  Can I really sit through three hours of that?

But that's not really the issue.  Besides, I ended up knowing who won in the end anyway.  It was a hard-fought battle, if you'll still call it that, and after business slowly gave way to personal vendetta (and lots of money raised for charity), a winner was named: it's Joan.  And, well, like everybody else here, I don't think it's a good decision.
