Exciting game. Not going to lie, I feel a tad guilty for watching Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood for a couple minutes in between... okay- it was the entire 3rd quarter.

Congrats R, from Married not Burried! You will be receiving this fabulous Tiki Pajamagram!
But I must say, you are ALL winners in my book! Your comments and opinions regarding the new Reality Bitchy Bad Asses on E! were both hilarious and pure genius. Denise Richards won by a few votes.. I myself would rather sit next to Denise.. her new show is a hot mess, which means I LOVE IT! And I heart her f*#$ing swearing problem.. we'd sound like a couple of sailors talking amongst ourselves..
R- drop me an email and I'll get it your info over to the awesome folks at Pajamagrams!
oh. btw. not sure how many blogs i'll be able to read this week considering I had a busy weekend and did not get to see SATC. blerg. i'm super psyched it beat out Indiana Jones though!

After I mentioned how much I loved my Pajamagram gift for my love of TBS' My Boys, I got a delightful surprise! Pajamagram told me they'd send a lucky JQ Lounge reader their very own pajamagram! How many times can I say Pajamagram in a blog post? I should probably add that to my spell checker now..
anyhoo, so here it goes.. a fun Thursday Blog Contest for you. Just answer the question by leaving a comment and you will be in the running for this fabulous prize!
Tiki Pajamagram will be PERFECT for the summer weather!
I'll pick a winner on Sunday, with the results Monday morning!
QUESTION: Who would you rather be stuck on a 8 hr plane ride sitting next to:
Dina Lohan, of the new hit "Livin' Lohan'
OR
Denise Richards, of the other summer blockbuster "Its Complicated"
?????
I'm sorry I've left you with such a tough question!!
(but i thought it was a pretty easy choice)

Did you know there was a Top Model Event called "1st Annual Fiercee Awards"? Tyra claims the extra E stands for the extra fierceness.. but I really think she believes that she can make up her own words and that Websters will add it into their book and give her all the credit. But thats just my theory..
Behold, some former ANTM'ers. Some will surprise you!!! Thanks Ali for sending me the link. I should spell your name Alie (for extra fierceness obvi)
click here for all the pics!
there were a few people on the red carpet, but i refuse to showcase annoying characters (ie: tyra, saleisha, etc..) at the jq lounge...
Jaslene!
above: THAT's Jade?! are you kidding me?
Joanie!
Takara!
who doesn't love a slip up on the red carpet!!
And my favorite (plus the prettiest), Jay Manuel

Well- before I announce the winner of the fabulous post-its, I'd like to say thank you for all y'all who took a couple minutes to share your favorite SATC quotes and eps with me! AND even you Weemo! You know I love disagreeing on tv/movie reviews with you :)
I loved all of the responses and believe me, about 90% of the quotes you mentioned have been used in my Instant Messenger profile once or twice during the college years, but my ALL TIME FAVORITE goes to Jenn from Free and Flawed with her pick:
"She can reach me. But I can never get her"
-Big, referring to the young movie star way out of his league.
Something about this quote... kladfkljafds. And he says it a couple more times later on the ep. But the real reason I love this, is because Big finally got a taste of his own medicine. This guy who had crushed Carrie's heart more than once was shell shocked that he couldn't have something he wanted. He also realized Carrie was an actual friend, not just an ex. This was the episode that Big crashes Carrie and Aidan's "upstate" new york weekend. 
Carrie described her boyfriend and ex as "batman and superman" fighting it out after a silly game of hoops. I just really loved that episode. Jenn- email me your address and I'll get those post-its out to you today!!

SO.. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was going to order some designer post-its that were featured in In Style Magazine. Me being the baller that I am opted for 2 packages b/c I thought it would be fun to actually give one to a JQ Lounge Reader. But how do you pick such a lucky girl?
Beats me! I figured in honor of the SATC movie coming out soon, I'd ask of you..
What's your favorite Sex & The City episode OR What's your favorite SATC Quote (or BOTH).. I have a couple in mind and will pick someone at the end of Wednesday. And i'm just a big dork who gets happy when I hear any references to Carrie and the girls.

Me: ugh, but the new Bachelor starts tonite and he's from England!
Gus: Yeah- but you can just tvo it and watch it later
Me: Fine.. but is his brother the beer brewer going to be in it?
Gus: Wait.. what?
Me: Yeah- Sam Adams, wasn't that his brother?
Gus: Julie.. Sam Adams did not brew Sam Adams beer. It was started in 1985 by Jim Koch
Me: Hmm. interesting- but the show is still based in Boston though, right?
Gus: Just go watch your Bachelor, b/c that will refresh your history skills

The following are tidbits of banter from the Hubs, who gets completely roped into watching E! Red Carpet Special with me every year.
Steve Carell & His Wife
Gus: WHOA. who is with Steve Carell?
Me: Thats his wife- she's the Realtor on The Office
G: She looks like Cameron Diaz.
Patrick Dempsey
G: Is that the guy in Mystic River?
Me: Who? Kevin Bacon?
G: No- the guy who dated Madonna in the 80s.. and he's the main character in Mystic River
Me: Sean Penn?!
G: YES! Sean Penn..
Me: NO its Patrick Dempsey
G: Well he looks exactly like Sean Penn
[for the rest of the night, every time they showed Patrick Dempsey, he'd say- oh wait. THERE's Sean Penn]
John Travolta
G: What's he got on his head?
Me: Not really sure... {and Perez totally agreed with us}
Gary Bucee (when he was harassing Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Garner)
G: FINALLY.. this could be the greatest television in Oscar History.
Cameron Diaz
G: Does she still date Justin Timberlake?
Me: OMG Gus, get on your US Weekly reading. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that..
Side note: was she wearing any makeup?!? Naturally pretty biatch!
Tilda Swinton
G: Who's that?
Me: She's the lawyer from the movie we watched 2 HOURS AGO! (michael clayton)
Me: She was also in the Chronicles of Narnia as the Ice Queen.
G: And she was also in Harry Potter as one of his wizard classmates
[at this point he's cracking up]
G: And she was a gold medalist in the '06 Winter Olympics.. (referring to Shawn White)
and THAT is all I got out of him for Oscar Commentary this evening! Happy Oscar Viewing!!! and thank you oscar.com for the pics!

Why hasn't there been a show like Sex & The City since Carrie and the girls signed off a few years ago? I've given Lipstick Lesbians and Cashmere Sopranos a chance, and probably will continue to watch them as I cry holding onto my DVR remote.. but they totally suck! The women are all ridiculously loaded, they whine, I cannot relate to them whatsoever, none of their relationships are believable, and they seem way too smug. Then I read an article in this week's EW titled "The Search for the Next Sex & The City" and came to a better understanding why all these shows are failing miserably. Check out the article here.
A few excellent points from the article:

Until then, I will keep surfing the web for SATC movie spoilers, counting down to spring when it arrives in theater near me, and watching the repeats on TBS.. patting my self on the shoulder knowing that I can quote about 84% of each and every episode (thats actually a pretty good estimate)

this bitch's hair is nicer than mine!
The prestigious dog show started last night and finishes up this evening (on USA network). While I don't really understand half of the stuff that goes on during Dog Shows, they are so fun to watch! Maybe I just think that some dog is going to go batshit crazy and start snarling at the other doggies (no Julie, thats only if ROCCO was in it)
old english sheepdogs- looks like the Prince's dog in The Little Mermaid
english bulldog. aaaawwwww look at that face
i think this beagle actually won last night
relaxing before the swimsuit competition!
I think one of these years they should have a Mutts category.

What an awesome way to start this sports free day! I found two back to back episodes of 90210 playing on SoapNet *8am-10*. I haven't watched an ep of 90210 in like 6 years.. and its just as fun and dramatic and awesome as I remember! Besides the hair and some of the outfits and those damn circle sunglasses every guy seemed to wear, this show is totally not dated at all. Dated- is when you watch an episode of Save by the Bell and think to yourself.. did I really take that show seriously at one point? No.. 90210 hit about every topic and situation imaginable.
In just 2 hrs I've dealt with...
- being a freshman at college
- sorority and fraternity life
- a carjacking
- a whirlwind romance with Stuart
- Jim Walsh getting a raise. go dad!
- dating my RA who doesn't want anyone to know (scandalous!)
- an apartment meeting at the beach house b/c david won't clean up after himself (how much do you love how every color of my apartment is a different pastel!)
- a coffee and intervention at the Peach Pit, i don't think I've ever seen Nat in other clothes
- John Sears pursuing me after telling Dylan we should see other people
- purchasing a Porsche
- Porsche getting carjacked

Using the guide to see whats on is SO much better then just clicking through the 30 or so channels you get with regular cable (which is what i'd been stuck with for the past 2 yrs). I'd like to point out 3 random shows I've been watching ever since Digital Cable Guide came back into my life.

"Spears family says Dr. Phil betrayed their trust" is the headline I saw this morning. Apparently Jamie & Lynne thought having the weird questionable therapist go visit the alien after her ufo landed in the mental ward would be a private matter. Why wouldn't Dr. Phil talk about it??!?!?
That's like having the KFed/Beers Custody Case with Judge Judy and not expecting her to air it.
Or having Super Nanny come in and take care of the little ones.
Or having Spencer Pratt become Beers new manager.
I could seriously go on for days about this. Got any good ones?

For those who were completely baffled at the Lost Season 3 finale, fear not, Matthew Fox wants to clear the air. Check out Entertainment Weekly's interview with Jack. SSSSOOOO worth the read. January 31st can't come soon enough.. except i think they only have 8 eps now due to the strike. Blarf.

So we FINALLY got Verizon Fios Cable installed (hello DVR and Digital Cable, my long lost loves). Now that we have a real cable box- we were able to hook up our HDTV (yay for wedding presents!).
OMG, how I love watching HDTV.. only because every single girl on screen puts on about 20 lbs. Its awesome, I can't turn away from the screen with these voluptuous chicks who are usually sticks in real life. The only bad part is there is no new television shows anymore (when is this writer's strike going to be over??).
I'm forced to watch Nick Lachey's new show about Choirs <-- no clue on how to spell that and i'm too lazy to google, and Hannah Montana... not that I'm really complaining.
