Do you have any friends or coworkers who take way too much time to tell a story? They really only need about 40 seconds for set up and punchline, but some how they drag the tale on until your eyes glaze over and your mind wanders to thoughts of grocery lists and bills to pay. [...]

As someone who isn’t particularly a wizard with money, I maybe shouldn’t criticize the boyz of Buzzin’ for managing to screw the cash pooch two weeks in a row. But I just can’t help myself. This week, Warren loses and envelope filled with $5000. We’ve all done that before, right?!

Does anyone remember that show Kid Nation that was on TV last fall? It was the one where 40 kids were sent to live in New Mexico and start their own town. And in the end, everyone learns that maybe it isn’t such a good idea to leave kids to fend for themselves because they [...]

I’m not going to launch into a big claptrap about how the reality TV genre changed the face of television forever (I’ll leave that to Communications majors with a thesis to write), but I will say this: it’s certainly good at making up new celebrities and pushing them on us. You’ve got your shows like [...]

At the end of last week’s episode, 4 girls stood before the judges in the casting office to see who would be sent home. They told Lauren she was just too young and not cut out for the role of Elle Woods. As she was dismissed, the three remaining contestants: Bailey, Autumn and Rhiannon, stopped [...]

Last week on Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods, we learned that it takes a little more than blonde hair to be a Broadway star in this show of shows. You also have to be a moderately talented singer and under 20 years old. And so Natalie, with her newly honey-colored hair [...]

Man! I knew it. I knew there was going to be an episode of this show where the non-blondes dyed their hair blonde to finally, really really become Elle Woods. I had hoped it would happen earlier in the season, when there were 4 non-blondes. (Or even 5. Remember the sad sack Cassie O?). But [...]

Hello Legally Blonde watchers. Welcome back to the Pink House. If you’re still with me, it means you’ve fallen under the same unlikely spell as I have and you’ve suddenly found yourself giving a crap what happens to these overblown homecoming queens. I know, it’s unsettling. But just hang in there a few more weeks [...]

As we enter the fourth week of competition on MTV’s Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods, one thing is clear: the judges prefer the blonde contestants, if only because they coincidentally have emerged as the most talented prospects. Meanwhile, things are not looking so good for the show’s three non-blondes…or maybe there [...]

Last week, we learned there just isn’t enough room for two Cassies on Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods. And so Cassie O. was sent packing. Henceforth Cassie S. will be known simply as Cassie. But can she also be known as Elle Woods? She certainly thinks so, but none of the [...]

We began last week’s show with a stage full of pink-clad, smiling young hopefuls ready to dance and sing their way into our hearts and prove that they could be the next Elle Woods on Broadway. Oh how they danced! And sang! For hours on end. Until, mercifully, the judges sent a whole mess of [...]

With The Hills off the air until August, MTV was left to find something to fill this temporary void. They needed something girly. Something superficial. Something that could only last one season. Enter Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods. Contestants show off their singing, dancing and acting skills to win the grand [...]

If you thought last week’s episode was like a gallon of mustard on a teency soft pretzel, then you probably couldn’t force yourself to sit through the final episode of Rock The Cradle. What I’m trying to say is that this grand finale was approximately 60 times as long as it needed to be, and [...]

In just 5 short weeks, we’ve made it to the semi finals on Rock The Cradle. I’ve gotta say, I like this speedy, kick ‘em off two at a time approach. This week, we’ll trim the fat yet again and get down to the final 3 contestants. Now, a few weeks ago, when the show [...]

AND NEXT WEEK, WE’RE SENDING YOU ALL HOME Say what you want about MTV, but there’s no denying it is a network that listens to its audience. I lamented that 90 minutes was far too long of a running time for this over-produced open mike night, and MTV shortened it to a 60 minute program. [...]

I don’t want to seem vain, but I’m going to go ahead and quote myself from my recap last week, “You just KNOW there is going to be an episode where the contestants have to sing their parents’ hit songs.” Folks, that episode is here already! The title of this week’s show is “Parent’s Mega-Hit.” [...]

We’ve had a whole week to recover from the non-stop excitement of last week’s premiere episode, and now Rock The Cradle is back. And this week, one of these young lovelies will get a serious dose of rejection from someone other than their famous ‘rents. Who will it be? You don’t find out until the [...]

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to grow up as the child of a legendary musician who everyone cares about, you’re in the same boat as most of the contestants on MTV’s new show Rock The Cradle. For your viewing pleasure, MTV has lumped together 9 offspring of rock and pop stars [...]
