Kelly Osbourne has majorly grown on us since her days as a sort of bratty kid on “The Osbournes.” Now that she’s on “Dancing with the Stars,” we’re getting to see a side to Kelly we never knew existed! Last night, she admitted to loving musicals and being disappointed that she didn’t get to play the lead in “Chicago” on stage because she “couldn’t dance.” Watch the clip above to hear how “DWTS” has done wonders for Kelly’s confidence, then watch her and partner Louis Van Amstel do the Charleston — and prove the people who said she couldn’t dance wrong — after the jump.

Kelly Osbourne Is Cuter And More Confident Than Ever On “Dancing With The Stars”

Remote Control: What You’ll Want To Watch The Week Of October 12th 2009
Over the past few weeks, there’s been so much new TV and so little time. But now that we’ve reached mid-October, it’s time to settle in and get comfortable with your old favorites. This week brings the season premieres of “30 Rock,” “Nip/Tuck,” and “Ugly Betty.” Oh, but there are a few new things, too. You definitely won’t want to miss DJ AM’s “Gone Too Far,” which promises to be “Intervention” turned up a few notches. Oh, and “The Newlywed Game” welcomes its first gay couple. Keep reading »
Kiki T. Takes On Tyra Banks!
Today was a great day! Two of the people I would most like to have sitting at my table at a dinner party appeared on TV together! That’s right, our own Astrosexologist, Kiki T., appeared on “Tyra”! Kiki sat down with the wackadoodle talk show host to talk about the astrological signs that are most likely to cheat — Gemini and Pisces, FYI — as well as answer audience member questions, much like she does in her “Ask The Astrosexologist” column on The Frisky. Check out her appearance above and then get your own dose of Kiki by reading her Friskyscopes and “In Bed With” columns. Keep reading »
Kater Gordon, The 27-Year-Old Emmy-Winning “Mad Men” Writer, Gets Fired
About three weeks ago, 27-year-old “Mad Men” scribe Kater Gordon won an Emmy for the episode “Meditations in an Emergency,” which you know as the one where Betty Draper does the deed with some dude in the women’s powder room of a Manhattan bar. Kater was kind of like Weiner’s personal Peggy Olson. She started off babysitting his kids, but after the two started talking television, he hired her as his personal assistant. During season one of “Mad Men,” she became his writer’s assistant and by the end of season two was given the opportunity to co-write the season finale. For season three, she was promoted to full-fledged staff writer. But, surprise, Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Kater has been fired. “We think [Kater's] done a great job, particularly for someone whose career has progressed so quickly,” a show insider told Finke. “Now, however, Matt has reluctantly decided that their relationship has reached its full potential. There’s absolutely no doubt that Kater will continue to have unprecedented success in her career as she spreads her wings.” [Deadline] Keep reading »
Sarah Silverman Out To Sell The Vatican
Sarah Silverman makes us go tee hee hee. Check out her latest video, which she premiered on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday. (Notice: not on Jimmy Kimmel‘s show, like she did her now infamous “I’m F**king Matt Damon” video.) In this one, she’s come up with a genius plan to end world hunger and get rid of those pesky commercials with sad music that try to get you to sponsor a child — sell the Vatican. Keep reading »
Bird’s Eye Fish Fingers Are Down For Whatever
Copyranter points us to this commercial for Bird’s Eye fish fingers starring three dirty-minded fish sticks. A fair amount of lady blogs out there spill a lot of virtual ink over how misogynist, sexist, and exploitative commercials are when female sexuality is used to sell something. Frankly, I don’t see what the big deal is. Take, for example, this commercial. I thought it was funny. I’m fascinated by the idea that a bunch of executives would sit around in a boardroom and agree to spend however many hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a commercial featuring three talking fish sticks, as if that will make you want to eat fish fingers. Silly? Yes. Offensive? I don’t get it. But maybe that’s just me. You? [Copyranter] Keep reading »
If “HIMYM”‘s Barney Can Do It: Other TV Characters I Want To Find Love
I’ve been obsessively watching “How I Met Your Mother” after discovering it late (super late) in the third season. Actually, I let it slip that I wasn’t watching it and then got harangued by everyone I knew for not knowing what it meant to be the married “Lily” of the group. Since then, I’ve been loving Neil Patrick Harris‘ bad Barney. His Lothario-dude, who would be a creepy, sadistic psychopath in real life, is adorable on TV as he wham-bam-thank-you-ma’ams his way through the ladies of New York. Except, this season he is adorable in a brand-new way. He’s found love with Robin, an uncomfortable, wince-inducing, awesome, making-out and having-googly-eyed-Sunday-brunch kind of love. And I love that he’s in love. Which got me thinking about all the other fictional characters that I’ve wanted to watch fall in love. Or at least get kissed. Keep reading »

Trailer Park: “Couples Retreat,” “An Education,” And “Good Hair”
OK, it’s officially fall now, so it’s probably about time to look for new winter boyfriends, un-mothball the sweaters, and mourn the passing of the Indian summer. The best way to get over that fast is to consume lots of soup, participate in some cuddling, and spend more time at the movie theater. This week, if you’re dreaming of a vacation, go see “Couples Retreat.” If you’re feeling kinda mod and rebellious, catch “An Education.” And if you’ve been listening to us at all this week, go see “Good Hair.” Keep reading »
Vogue’s “Nine” Cover Is A Hot Photoshopped Mess
Excuse me, Grace Coddington approved this? For the November issue of Vogue, Anna and Co. rounded up the female stars of the upcoming movie musical “Nine.” Four of them — Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, and Kate Hudson — are on the cover together, but the overly airbrushed shot makes it oh-so-obvious that photographer Annie Liebovitz shot them separately and spliced them together in Photoshop. Regardless, the beach background is tragic, the fashion makes no sense in context, and they all look like wax figurines. Cover shoot FAIL. [Just Jared] Keep reading »
