The Mad Men Fashion File: Forgive Me, Father,
For I Have Shopped.

post from Mad Men on 20 August 2008 09:50:00 AM. © Mad Men

This weekly look at the fashion of Mad Men is written by Faran Krentcil, the founder of Fashionista.com who currently works at Nylon and Page Six Magazine. She wonders when Urban Outfitters will launch a Mad Men collection...

I just bought nail polish the color of Peggy's egg -- you know, the electric blue one she gets from the priest, who is really Colin Hanks, who is really due to appear on more episodes because he's discomfortingly adorable in this role. Anyway, I realize bright blue nail polish didn't exist in the early '60s, but still it's intriguing. Who knew the vivid colors seeping through the period's Technicolor entertainment, their "futuristic" Crayola kitchens, and their children's toys would wind up as mass trends in forty years?

But that's not really what this entry is about; It's just an observation. What we're really going to discuss -- and bitch and moan about in the comments section, I'm sure -- is a key battle happening with the costumes, and also the characters on this show. It's the fight between keeping it in and letting it out, and one you can map out in the clothes.

Rachel Maddow takes Dan Abrams' spot on MSNBC

Filed under: News, Programming, Reality-Free

If you watch MSNBC for the politics fix, no doubt you have seen Rachel Maddow. She's one of the talking heads, a politically savvy woman who has been featured on shows like Hardball with Chris Matthews and Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

In fact, she's been Keith's regular fill-in this summer, a sure sign that she's MSNBC's star on the rise. The network has just announced that Rachel Maddow has been chosen to replace MSNBC's Dan Abrams, bumping his show Verdict out of the primetime lineup.

Maddow is getting a great spot on MSNBC, right after Countdown at 9 p.m. Abrams is not getting kicked to the curb. Like when Tucker Carlson lost his show and remained one of the net's pundits.

E! Article accompanying that video...

post from Obsessed with Bones on 20 August 2008 09:33:00 AM. © Obsessed with Bones

Here is the E!Online Watch with Kristen article that accompanies the video I posted yesterday.

It's heavy on spoilers, just be warned. The spoilers are pretty much re-hashes. So, it's up to you! But here's a nice non-spoiler excerpt:

All you overseas Bones fans, good news: You can start making up those "I Heart D.B." posters now, because Bones stars may be coming to your country sometime soon! Barry Josephson told me that after the success of the first European expedition (the season premiere was shot on location in the U.K.), "We are going to do more international shows. The trip to England was at the suggestion of a studio executive, but when you see how well we do in other countries, it just makes sense. I've recently traveled a lot and have seen Bones airing in French Polynesia and New Zealand. And Bones is a forensic anthropologist, and she can travel anywhere, and she should!"

April looking vulnerable on Big Brother 10

(S10E17) "I have to make myself look vulnerable to those people right now." - April

Now, do you seriously think that April can look vulnerable to anyone on Big Brother 10? I can think of plenty of adjectives to describe her and "vulnerable" ranks at the bottom of the list along with "sweet" and "innocent." Oh, sure, she can put a perky bow in her hair and try to look the part. But it's just not happening, not for me anyway. Read on past the jump for my full review of tonight's show.

Filed under: OpEd, The Amazing Race, Casting

The fall season of The Amazing Race is set to premiere on Sunday, September 28, at 8 PM ET/PT. Although it seems to be a bit early, CBS has already announced the teams. Looking at them, it seems my pre-season spoilers were indeed spot on. The aged hippies exist!

Phil Keoghan returns as the host of this Emmy-winning race around the world and I'm looking forward to another season of whirlwind excitement. You can check out the new teams in the gallery below and read on past the jump for more about them.

The Rocker: Major Points For Trying

There is this undeniable, crazy-intense talent that I think Rainn Wilson has yet to unleash on us, that goes beyond his hilarious and iconic portrayal of Dwight Schrute on The Office. Thanks to smaller roles that he's had, including his creepy character on Six Feet Under, I've had faith that Wilson is not a one-note actor, and that he possesses the tools to take part in a variety of genres. So, I was looking forward to his first time out as a comedic lead in The Rocker. And while the movie is far from perfect and not the laugh-riot that will launch him into major stardom, it's an excellent start.

What strikes me most about this movie is how good-natured it is underneath its gimmicky concept. If I had some teenagers to entertain this weekend, this is the kind of movie I'd love to watch with them. It's hard not to compare the overall spirit of this funny high school tale with that of other recent Summer comedies, and the biggest difference to me is that it has a warm and fuzzy center (despite the groin pain it causes the main character).

To see what I mean by "groin pain" and why I think The Rocker is a pleasant addition to this Summer's comedies,
