Kudos and Boos!

Dear Kate,

Here's Kudos and Boos for the second week in a row!

Kudos...Beverly Hills Housewives for being amazing! And the drama has officially begun! In this week's episode, the ladies venture to NYC to go to the premiere of the play that Frasier was headlining. Although we have yet to reach the premiere, Kyle Richards and Camille Grammar are making some good telly as they bitch it out at the dinner table approx an hour after they land! Can't wait till next week!!
Boos...Jessica Simpson announced she was engaged today. She began dating this fool since May. Strange that it came just a little over a week since her ex husband announced his engagement, and let's not leave out that they dated for over 4 years. I wonder how involved Joe Simpson is in this relationship!

Kudos...It has to be said again, Darren Criss!! No word yet on whether he will for sure be added as a regular to the hit Glee, but it's pretty cool that he's on the show now!! And with a #1 on iTunes. Not too shabby!!
Boos...LeAnn Rimes. Her recent ex-husband just announced yesterday that he too was engaged. So she tries to win over the public by giving them a shoutout. You are going to do a lot more than congratulate them on Twitter to regain your crown, dear. I give her 10 days and then she'll pull a Jessica Simpson and announce her engagement! Actually these two ladies have a lot in common, they should be besties!!

Kudos...Spanish Town, HMB! Remember how we went for dinner on Friday night to the little house turned restaurant? I would hope so. But man that was a delicious taco!!! YUM! And they also get kudos for being super fast! Two thumbs up Spanish Town!
Boos...to another weekend biting the dust! But this means that there are just 7 working days standing in between me and Thanksgiving!

Here's to a quick week!

Yeah Ya Darren Criss!

Dear Kate,

Tuesday night, fellow SI '05 grad Darren starred as the prep school friend (and potential love interest) of Kurt's on "Glee" and did awesome! His rendition of "Teenage Dream" is number one on iTunes right now! Everyone was impressed with Darren's work that there's talk that he's in negotiations with FOX to be a series regular for Season 3! He's all over the web now--even Perez Hilton gave him a shout out--and bloggers are raving about him.

Darren had a role on "Eastwick" the short lived series about the three witches of, you guessed it, Eastwick. He played the love interest of Rebecca Romaijn-no-longer-Stamos's daughter. But right when he was getting some airtime the series was nixed. I think that the Bonino's (Norcal and Socal editions) were the only one's watching it since Tom was working on that show for casting! But seems to be for the best cause now he has got a roll on a national phenomenon.

Back in the day, Darren and I took Latin together for 3 years (among other classes) so I get to say I knew him when! Yeah ya!!

kudos and boos!

Alllllllrighty Kate, here's some kudos and boos...

Kudos...SF GIANTS! I just can't get over this. It's too exciting. Even though it felt like it happened ages ago! But, who can't love the team of misfits making it all the way to the top! I tell you who can't, everyone who was at the parade this week in SF! I wasn't there (sad face), but saw it on TV and seeing a sea of orange can't help but make you cheer for them!
Boos...the people in the rest of the country who think we too excited. That's right I'm talking to you, ABC news reporter for This Week with Chistiane Amanpour who said that the Giants winning wasn't historic. He must be an A's fan.

Kudos...Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo! They got engaged this past week! And their birthdays (on the same day) are this week! Good for you, Nick and Vanessa! I've been routing for you these past 4 years!
Boos...to everyone who made last week the longest week ever. You people know who you are!

Kudos...the election is over!! Yeah ya! America has finally voted so that means we can now finally listen to the radio in peace and watch tv without hearing all of the candidates bad mouth each other. Thank god.
Boos...Keith Oberlmann. He donated some cash money to a few election campaigns and now he's suspended from NBC indefinitely without pay. You really only have yourself (and maybe your lawyer) to blame for not reading your contract more carefully.

Ok, here's to a quick week!

SF GIANTS

Dear Kate.

Ahh San Francisco Giants, how do I love thee!! Actually the Bay LOVES the Giants! This season, they fought their way to the top and went to the World Series! I admit, I didn't think it was going to happen! But now, SF finally gets to say that their team is the 2010 World Champions!

How could anyone not be excited about it? Comradery? Check! Superstitions? Just a few beards! Little team that could? Love it. And to top it all off? The Parade. People playing hookie, kids skipping school and the entire city covered in orange to celebrate! What more could you ask for? This is just what San Francisco needed.

GO GIANTS!
