The Hills Beauty Quiz: Episode Nine, "Mr. Right Now"

BellaSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:00:00 -0800

On last night's episode of The Hills, Kristin and Stacie head to Vegas, baby. Their goal is to forget their LA problems and pick up lots of boys dressed in their skimpy finest. "We're not looking for Mr. Right, we're looking for Mr. Right Now," declares Stacie. However, after noticing an abundance of "douchey" guys, Kristin, in a moment of weakness, calls a mystery man. Is it Justin? Could it be Brody? The next morning, much to our shirtless manjoyment, we discover it's Audrina's ex, Justin. Where exactly is the future heading for these two, anyway?
Speaking of couples, Spencer has suspicions about Heidi tricking him into becoming a father after he finds a pregnancy test. If only there was a birth control pill for men, he'd surely be taking it, he confesses. All sexual tensions aside, how closely were you paying attention to the beauty details of this episode? It's time to take my quiz below to find out, and be sure to check out Geek's tech quiz, along with CelebStyle for some fashion.

House Rundown, "Ignorance is Bliss"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:30:45 -0800

With Cameron gone, the new (old) team is still working out the kinks in this week's House - and it feels like the writers aren't sure where the show's going either. The episode tackles a genius patient with what appears to be TTP, Thanksgiving, and House and Cuddy all in one swoop. And while the doc is back to acting like a selfish jerk following his recent good behavior, I didn't even find his quips that amusing. If anything, the episode felt like a downer!

Okay, so I know these are harsh words, so perhaps I'm not giving this week a fair trial. Let's go over the highlights, and tell me what you think when you read more.

The team gathers around the table to start hypothesizing, but to me it feels off without Cameron there. I'll give the writers the benefit of the doubt since it's the first week with the updated crew, but don't you agree?
We get it Chase - you're upset. He huffs and puffs and refuses invitations from Taub, Foreman, and Thirteen for friendly help. Then House refers to Cameron as Chase's "ex-smarter half" and gets punched. I want to be sympathetic to Chase because of his split from Cameron, but with that attitude? Forget it.
House needs to get Cuddy off the brain stat. He announces to Wilson that he's going to break up her relationship with Lucas, and then starts plotting ways to get invited to Thanksgiving dinner to see his plan through. Cuddy gives him the address where the meal is taking place, but (surprise!) the house is empty. I was shocked that she gave him faux info! Do you think it's too mean, or does he deserve it?
After being rejected, House gets drunk and breaks into Lucas's place to confess his love for Cuddy. Seriously. (He says to Lucas, "I'm pathetic," and I couldn't agree more.) The next day, Cuddy tells House that Lucas broke up with her over the incident - until we later find out that she's lying to get him to lay off. It seems like House might leave her alone by the end of the episode. Do you think he's finally giving up? And do you think his intoxicated act was real or fake? He tries to make it sound planned, but I'm not 100 percent sure.
While House and Cuddy were weighing down the show with sadder stuff, Taub and his wife brought a bit of comic relief. She's stopped sleeping with him, because she thinks he's a wuss for going back to House. But once Taub passes off a photo of House's black eye as his own handiwork – instead of Chase's - she basically jumps him!
The medical mystery involving a former genius who dumbs himself down, so he can love his "happy and dumb" wife (his words, not mine) is relatively interesting - even though I snarled at his comments about her stupidity. First they think he has TTP, but the problem is actually an old injury where he broke three ribs causing his spleen to split. Come on, 16 spleens?! I know I'm a dork, but that's pretty cool. Next time writers, less Cuddy skirt-chasing, more stuff like this.

Okay, so time for your assessment - what did you think of the episode? Isn't the House and Cuddy storyline starting to wear thin? (Even I'm over it, and I was rooting for them before!) And how do you like the team now that Cameron's dunzo?

Matt LeBlanc Returns to TV as Matt LeBlanc

BuzzSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:30:32 -0700

Matt LeBlanc's career hasn't exactly been blossoming since his days as Joey Tribbiani, but Friends fans will be happy to know that he's returning to the small screen on a new Showtime comedy called Episodes. The show focuses on a British couple who find their successful show in the UK adapted into a "dumbed-down" American sitcom starring LeBlanc, which means he'll be playing himself on the show.

With popular BBC shows like The Office and Skins adapted for American audiences, the premise for Episodes is timely and sounds like it has the potential to be pretty funny. Plus, LeBlanc poking fun at himself just might be gold - are you excited to welcome him back to TV?

Buzz-Worthy Video: How I Met Your Mother's Slap Bet Game

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:30:40 -0800

I was excited to see what How I Met Your Mother would cook up for its annual Thanksgiving episode, especially when I saw that this week would feature Chris Elliott as Lily's estranged dad, Mickey Aldrin. We found out why they were estranged (the failed board game entrepreneur was leeching off her grandparents), and watched their relationship be restored over the course of the day.

The best thing to come out of it? Mickey apparently took inspiration from the gang's Slapsgiving tradition to create a new board game: Slap Bet. The hilarious commercial for Slap Bet aired at the end of the show, and features exuberant children slapping each other silly and the tagline "Ya just got slapped!"

Are You Interested in UK / US TV Series "Episodes"?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:02:01 -0700

Matt LeBlanc is coming back to TV in a new comedy series looking behind the scenes of the television industry called Episodes. The BBC and the American channel Showtime have teamed up for the show which is about a British couple "whose hit UK show is turned into a dumbed-down American sit-com starring Matt LeBlanc" - so Matt will play himself. It certainly sounds like it could be an amusing look at the TV industry, and the set up is recognisable to every television viewer, but does it intrigue you? Tell me if you're interested, and if you have any ideas who should play the British couple I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Buzz In: What Did You Think of Glee This Week?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:15:11 -0800

Now that we know there are only a few more episodes of Glee left before it goes on a four month hiatus, I feel like I need to soak up every drop of singing-and-dancing goodness while I still can. This week's episode was a little flat for me, but it was saved by the goosebump-inducing performance of "True Colors." Meanwhile, Quinn continues her Finn/Puck debate (who do you think she should be with?), Kurt turns Rachel into a "sad clown hooker" and Eve plays special guest star. What'd you think of this week's episode?

The Office, "Shareholder Meeting": Best Lines of the Night

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:30:00 -0800

Looks like The Office is trying for a little economic relevance. While it sort of knocks you over the head this week - e.g. showing the Dow Jones sign - you can't blame the writers for making the story timely. Michael travels to New York for a shareholders meeting with Dwight, Andy, and Oscar in tow, but instead of being honored for his work at the branch, he steps into what's essentially a sounding board for grievances.

Lots of great quotes in this episode, so let's recap some of my favorites, shall we? (Don't worry, I've included Michael's big speech.)

"Recyclops will drown you in your over-watered lawns."-Dwight
Obviously the writers had to plug NBC's Green Week like the rest of the network, but The Office's is one of the most creative. I especially enjoyed Jim's side story about how Recyclops's fictional planet was attacked and he "vowed to destroy the planet he once loved." Oh, and his nemesis Polluticorn, which is actually a Power Rangers reference. They could've made the entire episode about Recyclops, and I would've been happy - if for nothing else, just to see Dwight rock that weird eye headband.

For more quips from the evening, including a deleted limo scene, read more.

Dwight: "Oh, I'm sorry were you raised in a household with no consequences?"
Woman in line: "It'll just be a second."
Dwight: "Oh, if onlys and justs were candies and nuts, then every day would be Erntedankfest."
Dwight lays into the woman in the microphone line when she wants to use the bathroom, but his special comeback phrase really made me laugh. I plan on reciting it myself at least once this week. (By the way, I googled "Erntedankfest" and it's Germany's Thanksgiving. Dwight taught me something!)

Pam: "Well, I can't really imagine you yelling at anyone."
Jim: "Oh, I yell, you've heard me yell."
Pam: "Oh, okay. I've heard you exclaim, like the time you said, Hey look, we parked over here."
Jim: "Well that was apple picking day. There's no need to yell that day. You know, I was just excited to find the car. Perfect end to a perfect day."
Aw, Jim. You try so hard to be tough. But you've got to admit that putting Ryan in the closet is genius. Not only does it teach the guy a lesson, but I'm considering it payback for all of those weird getups that Ryan's been wearing recently. (Remember the fedora?!)

"We're gonna come back with a plan for you, it's a 45-day plan, 45 days to get us back on track, 45 points. It's a 45-day, 45 point, one point per day, we get the 45 points. We are back in business. And you can take that to the bank. And limo lady, we are going completely carbon neutral! I love you New York!"-Michael
Best. Speech. Ever. God forbid anyone ever give Michael Scott a mic - serves them right. Oh, and speaking of limos, check out this funny deleted scene of the boys in their ride.

"I just want to say that I believe that there are options out there. A take-a-number option like they have in a deli. What about line varieties? Like an express line for quick comments of ten words or less that could move much more efficiently. What about ropes along the lines that you can hold on to?"-Dwight
I was always welcome a ridiculous Dwight rant, and this was one of his better ones.

Alright, so your turn! What'd you think of the episode? The whole situation has me questioning what's going to happen to Michael in next week's episode. The guy destroys the shareholders meeting, his CEO is annoyed, and then he runs off with the limo - are there going to be repercussions?
