“The Choice” Is Kinda Like “The Voice,” Only With Pheromones

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 4, 2012 //

Make space on your DVRs, everyone! Another ultra trashy celeb-reality show is headed to the small screen, but this time it’s a dating competition show called “The Choice.” Fox announced that their new summer offering will feature regular folks participating in “blind auditions” in front of  four as-yet unchosen celebs sitting in spinning chairs — wait, isn’t that what happens on NBC’s “The Voice”? Indeed! Only “The Choice” is about picking potential love interests. I’m kind of confused, but I am psyched to learn the show will be hosted by the awesome Cat Deeley. Now, who will the four celebs be? I can only pray some real A-listers have signed up, but I think C-list is the best we can hope for. A “Jersey Shore” cast member, perhaps? Tanning Mom? Guess we’ll have to wait and see… [EW]

Joshua Ledet Is The One To Beat On “American Idol”

I haven’t watched a single, solitary episode of “American Idol” this season, but nevertheless, I feel confident saying Joshua Ledet is the one to beat. But how can you possibly make that prediction, Amelia, if you haven’t seen any of the performances? you might be asking yourself. Well, I have seen one performance: Ledet’s rendition of “To Love Somebody” on last night’s episode, which was the single best performance I have ever seen on “American Idol” or  any other vocal singing competition. I got chills almost immediately. The judges are with me — Jennifer Lopez even said that Ledet is one of the best vocalists of the last 50 years. And not only does he have an incredible voice, but he performs with such a genuine passion — it’s amazing to think the dude heard the song for the first time only a few days before he sang it. Amazing. Watch it above.

William Belli on

If you watched Willam Belli on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” this season, you noticed two things: one, he is an incredibly talented and beautiful performer; and two, he was smart enough to be the bitchiest, most ego-centric drag queen in the room. After all, reality TV viewers may love Miss Congeniality (Latrice Royale, in this case), but the cameras love drama.

I caught up with Willam just before the finale event for a series of more serious videos about politics and bullying, but you can’t keep the performer behind “Love You Like A Big Schlong” or “Chow Down (At Chick-fil-A)” from cracking wise. What you can, however, get is the lyricist behind “The Vagina Song to respond to charges of misogyny and transphobia … once you explain what “misogyny” means. [YouTube] Keep reading »

What "Girls" Got Right
13 things from the premiere that seemed universally accurate. Read More »

This morning, I was delighted to find out that “Baggage,” a show referenced on last night’s episode of “Girls” which I assumed to be fake because it sounds so amazingly ridiculous, is, in fact, A REAL THING. Here’s how the Jerry Springer-hosted show works, according to Wikipedia:

“Baggage” gives three contestants the chance to win the eye of a prospective date. The contestants carry three suitcases onstage, a small, medium, and large one. Each suitcase contains an embarrassing, unique, or weird proposition the contestant may have; for example, bad habits (e.g. “I share a bed with my grandmother”), strange relationship preferences (“My partner must dress up as Santa Claus”), issues with one’s past (“I’m an outlaw in Mexico”), and strange hobbies (“I play video games 30 hours a week”). These cases will represent the “baggage” to which they will confess and defend. The bigger the suitcase, the bigger the secret or “baggage” is. Once the three contestants are pared down to one, the potential dater must admit to a fault of his or her own.

Naturally, I have spent the last three hours watching it on GSN’s YouTube channel and it is as delightfully trashy as Shoshanna and Wikipedia described. Here are 10 things I’ve learned (so far!) from watching it… Keep reading »

HBO's "Girls"
We're psyched for Lena Dunham's debut TV show, "Girls." Watch »

Last night’s episode of “Girls” was, I think, the strongest of the series so far, with — SPOILER ALERT! — Hannah (Lena Dunham) both finding out that she has HPV and that her ex-boyfriend is gay. Meanwhile, Marnie (Allison Williams) was tempted by Jorma Taccone’s artist character, Booth Jonathan, who told her,  “I want you to know, the first time I fuck you, I might scare you a little, because I’m a man, and I know how to do things.” One of my favorite scenes, however, is this one, in which Shoshanna (Zosie Mamet) and Hannah watched a show called “Baggage” on the Game Show Network — make this show a reality GSN! apparently this show IS a reality – and shared their own. Check it out above!

Hoo boy. Not that I would’ve pegged Snooki as the most meticulous user of birth control, but getting pregnant before/during the filming of her spin-off show, “Snooki & JWoww,” was not her best move. The entire reason anyone watches Snooki do anything is because she’s always had one more Fuzzy Navels than she should have. A pregnant Snooki is a sober Snooki and based on the preview for their show it’s —I hate to say it — a boring Snooki. [MTV.com]
