UPDATE hey hey! i just got back a little while ago from the whole 'hills' finale shindig which was semi-fun - all those events tend to be a little on the tiring side but it's always fun to run into people you know (hello jennifer from buzznet) and meeting vera from i'm not obsessed was a total highlight of the evening - she's so damn funny - we totally got along great - i know if she lived closer we would be best of friends! as far as red carpet interaction - the person i chatted with the most was stephanie pratt - sister of spencer (absent this evening along w/ girlfriend heidi montag) she was actually really nice and i asked her about the nickname she-pratt which she didn't like at first but after i explained how i ended up really liking her character (way more than lo - who i basically can't stand) she told me that i'm allowed to call her 'she-pratt' - i'll upload the video i shot in the next few days!

i also ran into brittny gastineau who i chatted with for a few minutes - she was totally pleasant - we might be seeing her again on TV...stay tuned! i decided to scramble out of there fairly quickly - the location was gorgeous but it was located atop this big hill and access was very limited - there were shuttle buses taking people to and from the party and i knew once it ended the wait would feel like forever - the shuttles could only take maybe 20 people at a time! right now i'm watching the finale on TV - way more comfortable - and i'm dying to see what transpires as audrina possibly prepares to move out! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo


hey kids! tonight is the third season finale of one of my top guilty faux reality pleasures the hills and i was invited to head over to a beverly hills mansion to catch all the finale festivities plus i should be getting a drop of interview time in with a few of the cast members as they stroll down the red carpet (don't worry i promise to be oh so nice to heidi montag & spencer pratt if i have to...but my fingers will be crossed behind my back - ha) i'm also meeting up with ms. vera from i'm not obsessed who has been one of my good bloggers pals for quite some time now - it'll be great to finally meet her in person! below is a clip from tonight's episode (it looks like audrina will be moving out...) no worries for all you 'hills' addicts out there - it has been confirmed there will indeed be a fourth season! when i get home tonight i'll update this post with a few quick thoughts about the night's events - i'm hoping it will be a blast (i even have a new t-shirt for the occasion!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo



GIRLICIOUS - LIKE ME - VIDEO!

tonight was the finale of one of my guilty pleasure reality shows pussycat dolls present girlicious - originally the new pop group was supposed to be composed of three girls but creator & PCD 'maven' robin antin decided to make it four girls - so girlicious came down to natalie, chrystina, nichole, and tiffanie! the group's first (and possibly last) music video for their new single like me which debuted during tonight's show is embedded below - it's actually pretty decent but i don't see the gals hitting it big time - it'll be interesting to see just how much ms. antin actually puts into making girlicious a big success - they all need to strike while the iron is still semi hot! (there's already a full on website for the ladies...and a second video for a track called stupid shit - gosh that's a bad title for a song - yikes!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo






good morning everyone! who else caught the hills last night? the show is so damn predictable (of course lauren conrad was going to get a job with BFF whitney port at people's revolution - LC simply couldn't bear being all alone at 'teen vogue' w/ lisa love!) but i totally love it! ms. conrad hit the hollywood scene last night at katsuya (another piece of the bolthouse family) with her pals brody jenner & frankie delgado and girlfriend must have been knocking back some kind of green drink - when she left the photographers caught a glimpse of her tongue gone green (heck it's earth day soon right? she fits right in!) now that MTV has this mega hit of a show on their hands - they're casting for a UK version of the show - which i hope we'll get to see over here as well - but no worries we've still got plenty more of LC and the rest of the gang (including loser spencer pratt who i sometimes find cute...i know that's so wrong!) there will be a fourth season that will kick-off in august - for sure the network is going to squeeze every last drop of faux reality out of 'the hills' it can! as for ms. conrad - next time she goes out she might want to think twice before having a colored drink! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

PARIS HILTON WANTS A NEW BFF...

hey hey! is everyone enjoying their weekend so far? i managed to get a little much needed retail therapy this afternoon plus i'm looking forward to tonight's SNL since mariah carey is the musical guest - i'm curious to see her perform her new addictive single touch my body (she just nabbed the gig this past week when janet jackson came down with the flu) as you may have heard already paris hilton is entering the reality TV ring once again with her new show coming up later this year on MTV called paris hilton's my new BFF where she'll scour the nation to find one person she can befriend for life and i guess trust with her most 'inner thoughts, dreams, and hope for world peace' (take that statement with a heavy dose of sarcasm) we all know how well relationships tend to work out after being set-up on reality TV...my word of advice to the winner is to snap some pictures of paris doing something naughty and then sell 'em when she drops you! no doubt that if the shows does well in the ratings we will be subjected to many more seasons of paris hunting for 'true' friendship...ugh!

i don't have anything against ms. hilton in particular - she's just a total easy wonky eyed target good for a few laughs! the other night there was a press conference held here in los angeles to announce the new reality venture (paris' sister nicky was there along with her new 'boyfriend' benji madden) i actually was invited to cover the event but i had to go to the dentist that night - and when pressed to choose between going to paris' press shindig or the dentist - i chose the latter! however i did gain access to a few pictures from the event which you'll find below (when asked about if she'll have a catch phrase like donald trump's 'you're fired' - she said that's still in development...) of course i'll be tuning into the show when it premieres - i don't think it will be as much of a trainwreck as the upcoming dina lohan's 'hot tranny mess' of a reality show living lohan but it will probably provide plenty of amusing blog fodder for us bloggers! if you're secretly dying inside to be a BFF of paris - head over to parisbff.com where you can upload an audition video of yourself for a chance to be one of the chosen competitors! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

PS make sure to watch the hilarious video of 'ultimate fan' jake byrd (a fictional character portrayed by comedian tony barbieri) at the press conference which was shown last night on jimmy kimmel's late night talk show!

good evening! how was everybody's weekend? today was a beautiful sunny day in southern california and i took my parents over to the los angeles zoo which i had never been to - it's a fairly decent enough zoo but i much prefer NY's bronx zoo - i quickly became annoyed when i kept noticing a number of kids who were tossing food at the animals, taunting them with faux animal noises, and even banging on the glass on some of the exhibits w/o the intervention of their parents...how quickly people forget what happened at the san francisco zoo! the line was so damn long to buy tickets that i ended up becoming a member of the zoo to bypass the line - now i can go free for the entire year!

so next tuesday (march 11th) marks a new season of beauty & the geek - one of the first challenges between the geeks & the girls involves going to a nightclub to see who can score the most phone numbers - of course the ladies think they've totally got the challenge in the bag but little did they know - make-unders were coming! each pretty lady was 'made under' (some pics are below) to look unattractive & homely thus leveling the playing field! (yes i know beauty is in the eye of the beholder...) i might just give this show another shot - i did watch the first season but lost interest after that...

however you should totally check out pussycat dolls present: girlicious - my new favorite guilty reality obsession - the whole thing is totally ridiculous but it's so much fun to watch - the girls are so bitchy and catty to each other plus there's robin antin being way serious and over dramatic - i do wonder if the 'girlicious' group (which will consist of the three remaining ladies) even has a chance of breaking onto the pop scene! i'd say probably not...although i may just have to eat my words on that one! to round out the whole CW reality scene - i think this 10th cycle of america's next top model i'm going to skip - i need a break from tyra banks - although i've heard it has been a decent season so far - she just starts to grate on your nerves but maybe i'll give tyra one more chance to hook me this time around!

right now the reality shows are coming fast and furious - i'm getting ready to catch orpah's big give tonight - plus i'm also addicted to this 9th season of big brother (i love watching big brother after dark over on showtime from midnight until 3am) which is the craziest 'sexiest' season - those people are way out of control! (oh and there's american idol too!) yet the reality show with the best quality clearly goes to project runway - i know christian 'fierce' soriano is going to win - i'm convinced of it! he has consistently been the best designer - in second place i would put jillian lewis who is also fab! hopefully we won't have to wait for the next season as long as we did for this one! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!









OPRAH'S BIG GIVE!

good morning! has anybody else seen the commercials running for oprah winfrey's new reality show oprah's big give? ten contestants will be competing against each other to give away money and make dreams come true in order to become america's greatest unknown philanthropist! each week one person will be given the boot - and the last person standing will actually walk away with one million dollars - although that's a surprise - the contestants don't know about the final grand prize! (the ten are pictured below with hottie nate berkus) of course ms. winfrey will be having a few of her celebrity friends join in on the fun including jennifer aniston and john travolta! i'm a sucker for reality shows - and of course i love oprah too - i certainly will be tuning in for the show's premiere on sunday march 2nd - it will be a nice break from the usual reality messes like flavor of love 3 which just premiered last night - and once again flavor flav has his hands full with a bunch of nut jobs - including twin sisters which he nicknamed 'thing #1' & 'thing #2' - just to give you an idea of the insanity! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

Watch the drama and emotion unfold in this unprecedented competition as determined contestants from all walks of life transform the lives of others. Millions of dollars are given away in this intense cross-country adventure that twists and turns in ways that test the nerve, passion and stamina of each contestant. Each week, a mystery challenge is unveiled, and in order to win, contestants must out-give one another. Big-name stars join "Oprah's Big Give" as the stakes get higher and the emotions intensify in every episode. The judges continue to make the tough call of who will go home before the final episode, when the Biggest Giver is named and the surprise ending is revealed.

good morning everybody - and happy friday - although sadly it's still wet & cold here in los angeles - brrrrr! anyways coming up on monday february 11th we've got the third season premiere of flavor of love starring the always lovable flavor flav - now don't get me wrong he's a nice guy - and funny as hell - yet you couldn't pay me enough money to make out with him for even five minutes - i don't see how all these women can fight over him - but that's what will inevitably happen - to each his or her own i suppose! i for sure enjoyed his search for true love more than tiffany 'NY' pollard's search - it's so much more fun to see girls fighting over a guy rather than vice versa! right after the show's premiere - there's a new season of the salt-n-pepa show - gosh i adore them both - yesterday at work we were talking about how much we all loved their 1993 hit album very necessary - now that was and still is a great listen! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

The president of love is back! Flavor Flav attempts to find love for the third time during VH1's third season of "Flavor of Love."

Now one man has come to stand as example to would-be Romeos across the globe. That man is Flavor Flav. After two unsuccessful attempts at finding love, America's favorite bachelor is back for a third time looking for a girl with the sophistication to match his new A-list lifestyle.

good morning! so is anyone else besides me watching kid nation?!? for some strange reason i have taken to the show (which is drawing a lot of criticism) this past week the kids came to the conclusion they needed to have some fresh meat...which meant killing off a few of their chickens! of course some kids protested and didn't want the chickens to lose their heads - but in the end most of 'em came around and totally enjoyed their chicken meal! you must watch the video below (be warned it's a drop on the graphic side) i couldn't believe this actually happened - oh it's wild! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

good morning! i just have to do a post about FOX's latest reality venture anchorwoman - it centers around swimsuit model lauren jones who joins station KYTX 19 down in tyler texas to be an anchorwoman for the nightly local news! of course drama ensues - mainly played out amongst the employees at the station who are all like - what the fuck?!? plus you've got the townies thinking they're trying to sex up the news - and why the hell not?!? the news is always such a downer - it totally helps to have a cute blonde girl relay the latest depressing happenings! the evening news won't be quite the same after ms. jones takes to takes to the anchor desk! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
