Make Me A Supermodel: Ben's wife meets Ronnie


Last night's last episode of the season, Ben was reunited with his wife April. She had to explain the 'Bronnie' thing. he showed her the shirt they got and she said she wanted one. He offered it to her and she was considered he didn't want it. He said, "It started as a bromance. It's harmless." More than anything she found it funny. Then he said, "He's my boy." And there was a pause. she coughed and there was an awkward pause. Later, Ronnie met April and he admitted to her that it was awkward and to the cameras too. Ben called him 'my other half.' And when Ronnie's mother came in and when she met April, she said, "We have to talk." She agreed and then his mother added, "They're just friends." LOL.


Holly's finance arrived and she said how she forgot how hot he is. And he is hot. Hot enough for the competition even. And he was all over her and he apologized to the gang and Perry told him it was okay. Perry was frustrated, because he didn't have anyone arrive yet. And finally, his girlfriend Amanda came and there was big tension. Obviously she didn't want the cameras around but they were all over her face. And Perry's face was heart-less producers would call reality-show television gold. Hollie won and before she did, she asked her man if he would be okay with if she won and what they would do and he said he promised her he would follow her and that was so touching. We all knew Holly was going to win. It was absolutely amazing three male models made it to the finalists, and it is not attributed to the gay viewers but it is amazing because the show Manhunt (for male models) failed--unfortunately so. And it is true what the judges said about Holly, she proved she could tough it out between three guys. Not like Tyra's America's Top Model, she didn't have to go against women.

Whoever made Tyson say, "The Bromance is over' and made it between Ben and Ronnie, it felt a stab to lip service. And I was not going to say this but---Perry put the nail in the coffin when he said that he couldn't believe he was beaten by Holly. He is a conceited asshole. He has to rise above. When the judges told him he didn't win, he said 'fuck' and hugged Hollie. I was going to let it go until he told Ben he couldn't believe he was beaten out. I hope he can rise above.

South Park and the Writer's Strike

For those who don't know, new episodes have started a few weeks ago and South Park have had great episodes and some hit and miss. The great ones include the one where Cartman and Kyle become HIV positive and no one cares because everyone's 'it' thing now is cancer and they cute it with money. Another one, one of my favorites was a very truthful and heart-felt episode about Britney Spears. Imploring everyone to leave her alone but in usual South Park fashion, there is a big conspiracy... having her as a sacrifice. Miss was last week's episode, I don't even remember what it was. This week they make fun of writer's strike by having it as Canada is striking, it is weak and made no sense. the good part of the episode was making fun of the viral video 'stars.' They can make fun of anyone they want, but by separating themselves from the strikers, is just weak.

Origin of April Fools?


According to Wikipedia, in Scotland the custom was known as "hunting the gawk," i.e. the cuckoo, and April-fools were "April-gawks," the cuckoo being a term of contempt, as it is in many countries. As the old New Years day was April 1st, French and Dutch references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe April Fools' Day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of April. France was one of the first nations to make January 1 officially New Year's Day (which was already celebrated by many), by decree of Charles IX. All of this was easily summed up in the episode "So It's Come to This" of the fourth season back in 1993 of "The Simpsons," where Lisa explained that the pagans continued celebrating the new year on April and the Christians making fun of them.

In the pilot of the American "The Office," one of the employees put their boss Michael's mug that says "World's Best Boss" in a Jell-O mold. I was planning to do so to my friend who loves "The Office" and has such a mug--for April Fool's Day. He keeps it in his office, under lock and key, the office, not the mug. My accomplice went into the office where his office is with my friend but unfortunately my friend never left so my accomplice could get the mug for me to put it in the Jell-O. My accomplice waited for my friend to leave but he never did. So I never got to do the prank. Oh well.... there is always next year.

Viral Video: White Guy gets his at Laundry Mat


I stumbled upon this.

Joseph Levitt and Channing Tatum's Stop Loss Trailer


The actors wanted to get the word out to a broader audience, because they believe the current trailer is aimed at teenage girls, so with access to all the footage, they made a whole new trailer.

MADTV: Nice try but too late

MADtv came back after the strike, but a little too late with certain pop-culture jokes. One being a not so funny poorly-executed June sequel spoof. But the one about Eliot Spitzer and her blue-dressed wife Silda. It has already been lampooned on The Daily Show (With Jason Jones in a blue dress next to Samantha Bee at the podium) and the Broflovskis in "South Park." It was actually good, where the press harasses Silda and Eliot exxpresses why he cheated.
