Taye Diggs Dishes on Fatherhood, Doulas and Placentas

babysugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:00:01 -0700

It's beyond endearing to hear a man gush about his baby and it's only made better when he brags on his woman, too. New papa Taye Diggs scored points for both when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The handsome dad talked about the inspiration behind his son Walker's cute moniker. He also dished on the delivery room experience, which sounded fairly intense. Check out his experience as a self-proclaimed labor cheerleader in the video below. To find out what he thought about their doula, what they did with the placenta, and the Halloween costume Jimmy gave the lil guy, just read more.

PopSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Ashlee Simpson looked adorable in her romper and pearls at InStyle magazine's annual Summer soiree last night at The London Hotel in LA. Kellan Lutz wore his signature gray, while back in the States on a break from working on Eclipse in Vancouver ahead of next week's NJ Twilight convention. Kellan's off-again girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord wasn't in sight, but her 90210 costars Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup laughed together on the red carpet in their short dresses. Taye Diggs posed proudly with his pregnant wife, Idina Menzel, while Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter smiled for the cameras as many more celebrities piled in to the party for a star-studded night of style.

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 22, "Yours, Mine, and Ours"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:30:56 -0700

So, I wouldn't say a whole lot gets resolved on the season finale of Private Practice. The episode is basically one big custody battle, with characters fighting for control of their children, their lovers, and their entire lives. And then, in the second half, it becomes a bit of a horror movie. Ready to talk about it? Just read more.

Guys, this twist with Violet and Katie and the baby is messed up! As Amy Brenneman hinted, Violet's baby's in trouble - as is Violet herself. Katie turns up at Oceanside and appears immediately to be off her meds, almost manic. But Violet and Pete can't come up with any reason to have her hospitalized - a decision Violet pays for dearly when Katie shows up at her house and drugs her, paralyzing her from the neck down. Soon, Katie's whipping out surgical equipment, preparing to take back the baby she believes Violet stole. Logic doesn't stop her (Katie seems oddly aware of what a crazy thing she's doing), and Violet can't fight back. And of course Cooper chooses this one time to pick Charlotte over Violet, meaning he doesn't discover the gruesome scene. As the show fades to black, Katie's getting ready to cut, with Violet seemingly resigned to the fact that she'll die. All she can do is beg Katie to be good to her boy. On the Shonda Rhimes scale (remember, the woman killed Meredith Grey, put a bomb in a body, and brought back Denny), how crazy is this?

What bad timing, too, because Violet had finally just resolved to be happy. And what makes her happy? Being with Pete. Sheldon all but tells him to man up and fight for Violet if he wants her, and Pete - despite a rambling speech about how fighting hurts his knuckles - finally does. I'm relieved that she and Pete at least get to kiss before the Katie stuff goes down. Poor Sheldon, though, doesn't get his answer from Violet before the episode is up. Because she's not answering her phone. Because she's currently paralyzed from the neck down. So it goes.

Meanwhile, I'm so angry at Addison that I could spit. It's not like we never knew on Grey's Anatomy that Addison could do bad things - I mean, she cheated on Derek with his best friend. But I am just not OK with any of this Noah stuff. Hooking up with her pregnant patient's husband while the patient is practically giving birth oversteps so many boundaries, I can't even count them. I don't care if they haven't done anything wrong in the Biblical sense, as Addison claims. Noah's a creep, Addison's playing right into it, and I don't want to watch the two of them anymore, period.

In other news:

Naomi's patient mixup, whether the fault of her or Dell or some combination, is so horrible to imagine. Its resolution is awfully tidy as far as the two pregnant women go, but it has to put doubts in Naomi's head about her own abilities as a doctor.
Which doesn't stop her from taking the job at the rival practice, presumably ousting Charlotte. Naomi feels stuck in neutral, working at a practice she doesn't control anymore with a man she doesn't love anymore - even though, apparently, he still loves her, as he blurted out in this episode.
I can't decide if I pity Charlotte or think it's about time someone tells her nobody likes working for her.
Dell gets his daughter back, thanks to Sam, who kind of apologizes for giving Dell a hard time by giving him the money Heather wants (for drugs, I assume). I hope this means fewer tortured moments for Dell next season.

Did this cliffhanger make you want to come back next season - or want to turn off the show for good because of its sheer ridiculousness? Will Naomi really leave? Will Cooper conveniently realize he left something in the house and return to save the day?

Posh, Eva, and More Help Elton Raise Money After the Oscars

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:30:35 -0800

For many stars, Elton John's annual charitable Oscar party was the destination last night, and for others it was a stop along the way. Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, and Chace Crawford were just a handful of the beautiful people who stepped out to attend his 17th Oscar bash, which raised $4 million for AIDS by the end of the night. Kate Beckinsale had her husband Len as her date, while Ben Stiller ditched his Joaquin beard to chat up Ryan Seacrest. Elton took his turn at the piano to play "Benny and the Jets" for his guests and also shared a few words, saying, "People are going through tremendous hardship. In this time of hardship, we are going to raise as much money as we possibly can."

Simon Cowell looked happy to have Terri Seymour back on his arm after their recent split, while Quincy Jones was especially proud of his date, daughter Rashida. Claire Danes celebrated with her new fiance Hugh Dancy, and fellow musicians Josh Groban and Carrie Underwood got to take a night off from performing to celebrate a different aspect of the entertainment industry. Elton's was just one of the many star-studded afterparties the night offered, but combining a special cause with the festivities was an added Oscar night bonus.

Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 15, "Before and After," and Private Practice Rundown: Episode 16, "Ex-Life"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 09:30:54 -0800

With a special crossover event comes a special crossover recap! On this week's two-hour Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice combo, Addison and Naomi (and eventually Sam) take Archer to Seattle Grace in the hopes that Derek can treat the parasites in Archer's brain. The old med school friends reminisce about the lives they used to have, before divorces and children and those other complicated things.

Meanwhile, Cristina learns about Owen's mystery woman, Alex starts to suspect something is really wrong with Izzie, and - back in Santa Monica - Violet faces one of her biggest fears about motherhood. Ready to talk about it? Just read more.

When Grey's was just starting out, it was about two very distinct groups of people: the interns, who mostly acted like children, and the attendings, who were occasionally sloppy messes but were ultimately still adults. Private Practice, I always thought, was meant to put the spotlight on people in the "adult" phase, and the jury's still out on whether that experiment will be successful, but for these two episodes, the focus on the older crowd worked for me. I actually felt somehow cheated that we'd never gotten to see Addison, Derek, Naomi, Sam, and Mark interact before. Hearing the song Derek wrote for Addison and performed at their wedding, watching Addison test Derek's medical skills and having Derek rise to the challenge, hearing Archer list off all the sins he'd perpetrated on Addie's friends over the years - I guess it felt like what might have happened if Shonda Rhimes had decided to move all of Addison's favorite people to Seattle for the spinoff rather than take Addison away.

But I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Addison and Naomi arrive at the hospital (followed in short order by Sam, who says he has no idea what he's doing there; that makes all of us) with Archer in tow, and Addison essentially asks Derek for a miracle. He doesn't think he can pull it off - and, for what it's worth, Archer hates Derek and so doesn't think he can do it, either - but for Addison, he'll try. Addison says she made Derek very small in her mind after the divorce so she could move on, but now she needs him to be the great and powerful surgeon she always pumped him up to be. And he is; he gets all the worms out (despite one dicey moment) and Archer's back to being an ass in no time.

But Derek's brilliance doesn't last: Performing Jen's aneurysm surgery right after Archer's procedure, he nicks part of her brain, and things go terribly wrong. Addison ends up involved, trying to treat Jen's sick son, and this time, she's the one who needs to be the surgical goddess. It's an interesting flip of the tables to see Addison up against the wall with Derek relying on her to save a life. And again, all seems to have gone right - until the final few minutes, in which Jen starts babbling nonsensically.

The medical stories are fine, but honestly, once Archer seemed to be stable, I stopped focusing on the medicine and started paying better attention to the relationships between these old friends. I loved Sam reconnecting with Derek, Sam saying he got a midlife crisis earring and Derek assuring Sam that Meredith isn't a midlife crisis girlfriend. I chuckled at Addison talking to Mark, having Mark respond in a professional manner, and Callie immediately stepping in to explain that Mark's met someone and thus wouldn't be responding as his typical lothario self. And I loved them dancing and drinking at the bar, like it really was the afterparty of some school reunion.

But beyond their stories, a ton of other things happened, too; here's a quick scoop:

Owen's mystery woman turns out to be his ex-fiancee, whom he dumped in a two-line email and then hadn't told he was back from war. In fact, Owen hasn't told anyone he's back from war, even his mother, because he doesn't want them to see the hardened person he's become.
Izzie's game for the interns is cute and clever - and makes no logical sense, but I'll ignore that - but it's mostly useful because it gives Alex another indication that something might be really wrong with Izzie. In addition to that whole dead-boyfriend thing, she now doesn't seem to be seeing very well. Alex loves her, but he really wants to run.

George helps get Sadie kicked out of the program! Or she quits - whatever - because she's exposed during the game for knowing nothing. She tells Meredith she'd hoped Mere would pull her through, and Mere tells her to grow up.
Sam has an asthma attack, and his friends theorize it's because he's freaking out over Naomi being with another man. But it's actually just because Bailey gave him an inhaler he was allergic to. Um, whoops?
The moment with Addison and Callie in the chapel is sweet: Callie offers up a prayer that serves to tell Addison she's kissing women now, then switches gears and assures Addison that "you're an amazing doctor who saves babies. God knows who you are."
I'm relieved that Charlotte finally gets why Cooper's moved in with Violet, even if she still doesn't completely agree with it. When Violet starts worrying that she, too, could develop postpartum depression, Cooper sweetly lists off the things he'll do to keep her rested and sane.
Addison: "We called Meredith the 12-year-old. What do we call Lexie, the preschooler?" Mark: "She's a woman."

Overall, I think the smaller moments in these episodes worked best for me, the ones where we got to see the friendships that brought Addison and Derek together and led Sam and Naomi to marry and form their practice in the first place. I'm relieved that Meredith didn't freak out over the rose petal and that Archer didn't die, big things that could have potentially thrown the whole story off course. I'm a little worried about the promos for next week, with all the "Surgeon . . . or God?" stuff, but we'll cross that bridge in a bit. For now, tell me: How did the first real installment of this crossover work out for you?

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 14, "Second Chances"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:38:59 -0800

He was sorta there last week, but on this week's episode of Private Practice, Addison's petulant older brother Archer is really back! He saddles up alongside "Addie" on a tough medical procedure by day, then saddles up on top of Naomi by night. Heh. Meanwhile Violet is still pregnant, unsure of herself as future mother, and really unsure of whether the possible fathers will want a role in the child's life. That's OK, though, because this kid will be raised by Cooper, right? Well, that's what I'm hoping. Ready to chat about it? Just read more.

Right off the bat, Naomi needs someone to talk to about having sex with her best friend's brother, so since her best friend is not an option, she goes to her ex-husband. They're pretty cute at first as "friends" giving each other dating advice. But then things get a little . . .weird. I mean, Sam's girlfriend undresses for him while he's giving sex advice to Naomi and calling her an African queen on the phone. And when Naomi giddly asks if Sonya's naked, I was officially weirded out.

Speaking of being weirded out: How do you all feel about a woman giving birth to her own grandchild? I know the whole point of this show is to always have someone play devil's advocate (it's amazing how you can have a group of people who get along so well fall on the exact opposite side of any given issue every. single. time.), but really? Is there another side to giving birth to your own grandchild, or is that just strange? I know Naomi's goal is to get everyone who walks into her office preggers, but sheesh, lady, draw a line. Shouldn't they have called in some sort of ethics specialist or something? Maybe I'm being too judgmental. The whole plot is there to help Violet sort through her fears about being a mother anyway.

For some reason, Cooper is still hellbent on making his relationship (if you can even call it that) with Charlotte work. He insists they should be able to work this current conflict out by talking, which forces her to lay out how humiliating it is to ask someone to marry you and for that person to say no. I know Charlotte is mostly mean to Coop, but this time around I felt like saying, "Dude. Give her space. She's embarrassed." But Cooper doesn't give her space and even delivers a big speech about how they're "so not a cute couple" but a couple nevertheless and he'll never give up on her. Never! But then he does! Because Violet, who tries to assess the level of enthusiasm for children in both potential baby daddies by setting up manipulative hypothetical situations in casual conversation (Sheldon: "I'm not really a kid person"), says she's falling apart. (She seems fine to me . . . ) Anyway. Charlotte takes Cooper's speech to heart and declares she wants to move in with him and then he disses her again! D'oh!

A few more thoughts:

One more thing about the grandmother/grandchild thing: The grandmother wants a re-do at motherhood since her first kid deeply resented her. I kept thinking about how much I might resent my mom if she revealed to me she was my grandmother. It just seems like she's guaranteeing herself another kid who'll have issues.
Violet's little passive-aggressive mind games on both Sheldon and Pete weren't exactly fair. As a therapist, shouldn't she have known better?
I laughed when Addison says, "Is that what he's calling himself?" when Naomi tells her about Archer being a "good-time guy."
Sam and Naomi's daughter seems to conveniently be at sleepovers a lot. Her parents are getting away with a lot of sex these days.
So, Wyatt's just gone, I guess. He does have his own show to tend to. Still, that was abrupt.

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 13, "Nothing to Fear"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:30:27 -0800

I'm feeling a little emotional today. Why, you ask? Well, after sitting through Ugly Betty (full recap coming later - but it was heavy), Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice last night, I'm feeling a little emotionally battered. I mean, right after Grey's put me through the wringer, Private Practice launched straight into an episode involving only things that make me cry including: watching someone die alone of cancer, watching someone talk about how alone we all are and how scary dying is, a wedding, a mom giving up her baby, someone talking about her dad not being able to walk her down the aisle because he's dead, and a breakup. Jeez, ABC primetime writers! Are you trying to destroy my soul?

Anyway, a lot went down on Private Practice, so to chat, just read more.

There's a very stressful opening this week with SWAT guy grilling Addison about where she went that one night last week and what happened. We all know that she went into Wyatt's office and made out with him - but was there more? Well, that's confusing, because in this week's flashback we see them kissing and then see Wyatt say, "Take off your clothes." This leads me to believe they got naked, which leads me to believe they had sex, but Addison denies this to her BFF Naomi. Is she lying? Hmmm. Addison gets angrier and angrier at SWAT guy's questions and right when he says he trusts her after all, she hilariously responds with something like, "Well I sort of did make out with someone." So it's all over for Addison and SWAT guy.

Meanwhile, the young pregnant woman whom Dell matched with adoptive parents is in labor. Complications arise, and she's rushed to the hospital, where decisions on the baby's health need to be made. The adoptive parents totally freeze up and literally just run away, which makes everyone mad, especially Dell. Once the woman makes the call herself, she feels more attached to her baby and wants to maybe keep it. Dell gets super righteous and emotional (as usual) and is pretty mean to the adoptive parents. Thankfully, Naomi, who's actually a grownup, talks sense into everyone, which leads to Buzz Waterworks Moment No. 1 while the birth mother tells the new adoptive mother to take care of her baby.

Meanwhile, Violet is still with Sheldon but falls into hysterical fits of laughter because she's pregnant. And she doesn't know who the father is! Hilarious! She does a really good job helping her agoraphobic patient, though, and gets the nice lady to her daughter's wedding (Buzz Waterworks Moment No. 2!). Then there's poor, lovable Cooper caught up with a grieving Charlotte. Suddenly she really wants to marry Cooper. In Vegas. He's so freaking adorable when he tells her that he doesn't want her sad when she walks down the aisle, he wants her beaming. Charlotte, of course, is totally peeved at him for rejecting her. These two are a little too off-and-on for me to believe they could actually commit. What do you think?

A few more thoughts:

Ack! Addison shoves the baby back into the lady! We had to watch it! Blood-curdling screams!
Pete and Sam's dying patient is tragic but sweet. I love this line as he sticks the morphine into himself: "Better than a petite syrah, my dear. L'Chaim."
I really thought Addison was about to walk in on Naomi doing it with Wyatt, which was making me a little sad but then it was Addison's brother - who is back and apparently working for Charlotte's practice too.
Addison's line to SWAT guy about how the kiss was the only hour her stomach didn't have knots was way harsh. She could have said, "I'm so sorry. I should have talked to you first about how unhappy I've been." But I guess she's only human (if a little mean).

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 12, "Homeward Bound"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:41:47 -0800

Man, the women of Private Practice are pretty screwed up emotionally. They all admit it this week, too, which is heartbreaking and kind of interesting when you think about it. I feel like I need to pause and give thanks for the over-30 female-driven storylines. Also heartbreaking? Charlotte King crying on Cooper's lap. Aw! I'm officially rooting for these two now, even though I'm very, very frightened of that woman. Let's chat about it, just read more.

It wasn't just the doctors who had me glued to my TV set this week - it was also the patients. Raise your hand if you knew the mother was gay? I thought maybe she had another lover or something, but as soon as the other lady showed up I figured it out. The poor son! Do you think he's too hard on his mom or is that a totally natural reaction? And then there's that crazy decision that father has to make! I won't even get into the medical explanation of what's going on (I had to rewind four times to try to understand). But the choice he has to make is excruciating, and the way it all plays out pulled at my heartstrings but also struck me as implausible. I mean, if you decide you are going to give up your son so you can be with your daughter, wouldn't you take a second to call an aunt or someone? Instead of handing him to a random doctor? Maybe call up a lawyer and figure out some custody stuff? I was confused.

Meanwhile, Sheldon, who previously suffered from impotence, is now showing up to Violet's doorstep declaring "It's up Violet! Full mast!" I immediately thought Violet would turn him away with an "Um, no thanks. I'm sleeping with a hot guy named Pete" - but no! She starts sleeping with both guys and tells Addison and Naomi she can't choose between Pete's heat and Sheldon's comfort. You guys. I am not a fan of Sheldon's. I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking about him showing up on doorsteps with erections.

In Addison-land, she and SWAT guy are having horribly icky fights. She's all, "A child is dying and you want to chill out!" and he yells back that she's no fun. Why'd they bring him back? Now it's basically cheating when she makes out with Wyatt. And Addison is already branded a cheater from her Grey's Anatomy days. But yay for making out with Wyatt - could he be cuter? He looks like future 40-something Will from Privileged.

A few more thoughts:

I think it's funny when Cooper thinks "Big Daddy" is the username of someone Charlotte's getting it on with online. But no. It's her father. Who is dying.
And wait a minute. . . Violet has sex with two guys at the same time for the first time in her life and she's stricken with some terrible peeing condition? I mean, Pete is the sluttiest person on the show and theoretically could have gotten seven STDs by now, but as soon as Violet is having all this sex, the writers make her come down with a physical ailment and struggle with the double standards of female and male sexuality? Seems like overkill. And what a loopy mixed message that is.
I really felt for Naomi. I would be super sad to see a younger lady hanging out with my ex and my daughter. But Sonya turns out to be cool so it's all good.
Another icky line from Sheldon, which is his version of foreplay: "From a psycho-physiological standpoint, this is remarkable." Wow, could he be less sexy?
Ha! Cooper's advice to Violet about sex is hysterical. Cooper: "You're a red-blooded American - sex is your birthright." Violet: "I will exercise my right!"

What did you think of this episode?

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 11, "Contamination"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:31:06 -0800

Private Practice is back and is ripped from the headlines! You've almost certainly noticed the heated debate taking place over the correlation between the immunization of children and autism (both sides have celebrity voices attached to their cause). It's highly controversial, super emotional, and extremely personal to moms especially, which means it was probably just begging for another preachy prime time drama to wade into the fray.

Anyway, despite some clunky, public service-y lines related to the autism (Sam: "CDC is clear, vaccination saves lives. End of story."), this episode on the whole is pretty absorbing and entertaining especially because everyone appears to be friends again. Or, in the case of Violet and Pete, super duper close sexy-time friends. Ready to chat about it? Just read more.

So! The episode opens with-what else?-sex! Between Violet and Pete. This has got to be some kind of record, right? How many episodes in a row can the opening scene involve sex? I'm not necessarily complaining - it's just a little desperate, no? Regardless, Violet and Pete are still going at it and decide to keep things loose without much commitment. Except once Cooper takes Violet seriously that she is, in fact, sleeping with Pete, he freaks out ("Pete is the anti-relationship! Pete is the ruiner of relationships!") and blabs this to the whole office. Everyone stops by to tell Violet what a cad Pete is and to be careful, just as Pete (with some input from Addison) decides that he might want to try the whole relationship thing out with her. Violet pretty much disses him - and wisely so I think. She points out that they started hooking up while Pete had another girlfriend. I think he's going to have to prove his worth.

So meanwhile, a whole family of little boys Cooper has seen before has returned from abroad, and it turns out one has measles. This is because he was not vaccinated due to the mother's insistence that vaccination gave her oldest son autism. The practice basically goes into quarantine, and the health officials are called. The official who shows up is a smoking hot lady named Sonya who's clearly meant to be Sam's new love interest, but we spend the whole episode watching her be really mean to Sam ("You've been a bully!") before we get to the flirting stuff. It's totally cute to watch Sam scramble to make this mean lady happy, though.

The craziest moment of the night, in my book, was one Cooper sticks a needle into the third son's arm without the mom's consent! Is that legal? Do you think that was the right thing for Cooper to do at that moment when the other son is dying? I was actually touched by Charlotte's presence in the hospital the whole time too. I'm starting to maybe sort of wish she and Cooper would get back together. Am I nuts?

A couple more thoughts:

Big lesson from Dell's story line? Crack is whack. Just kidding. I mean, crack really is whack, but who knew Dell got his ex hooked on drugs? That was surprising. I'm glad they're working things out. Gotta think of the child.
I love how impressed Wyatt is that Addison is (was?) dating a cop. If I had an arrogant ass hanging over me teasing me about who to date, I too would be like, "Back off, buddy, I'm dating a man with a gun!"
So how long do you think they're going to make us wait for Addison and Wyatt to have hate sex? Naomi admitted she thought he was handsome too, but I think they're reserving him for Addison.
Ew! Sheldon's back! I do not like this guy, and I don't like him for Violet, and hello? No contest! Pete's a bajillion times cuter and nicer and better at sex.
Another funny moment: dance club with Sam and Sonya.

What did you guys think?

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 10, "Worlds Apart"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:30:40 -0800

Once again, Private Practice delivers the goods in this week's episode, thanks to lots of exciting plot twists that had more to do with my favorite doctors than their patients. I tuned in dying to find out how far Violet and Pete take their makeout session (turns out - pretty far!) and if Meg would find out. There's also the hot new doc downstairs whom Addison hates because he's ambitious and cocky and reckless with medicine and calls her "Monty!" It's practically written in the stars they'll have hate sex soon. But what about SWAT guy? Well, that gets complicated, so let's get to chatting about it. Just read more.

SWAT guy is way moody lately, and this week he's down right testy with Addison. The episode opens with yet another sex scene (seriously, is this the only way they think they can keep us from flipping the channel? They ought to try murder or dancing or something) and SWAT guy telling Addison he's all better and wants to go home because there are dishes and stuff waiting for him. Addison basically gives him the old pish-posh and tells him, "That's why God made cleaning ladies," which you just know is going to make the proud cop feel even more like a kept man. Things get more tense from there until the end, when SWAT guy packs his bags and storms out on Addison. I'm not sure if he had a right to be irritated or if he should have been able to deal with a strong, self-sufficient woman who happens to be a multi-millionaire heiress. Ever since Archer showed up it really does seem like the poor guy never felt quite good enough.

Addison goes to battle not only with her boyfriend but also with the entire office when she agrees to continue treating one of her patients who's become a prostitute, as well as her friends. Addison argues they're just college girls and don't seem to be bothered by a little bit of sex for money now and again, to which Violet responds, "Don't kid yourself. These girls are victims." And then SWAT guy storms in with all kinds of opinions and they fight it out with Cooper awkwardly lurking in the background ("I probably have patients. . .").

Meanwhile, Pete and Violet are doing all they can to avoid having sex with each other again because apparently the animalistic pull between them is extremely strong. Do you guys feel the heat? I love when Cooper notices that Violet's all "loose and relaxy" and jumps immediately to "You had sex!" The best ever, though, is the end, when she tells Coop that it's Pete and he says "Oh, yeah, sure" and excuses himself because "I don't want to be late for my date with Angelina Jolie." Also, Meg returns and knows right away something is wrong with Pete, but he just keeps saying "I missed you" over and over again - until Meg catches him mid-sexy time with Violet at the office. Now that's good drama!

A few more thoughts:

Bad idea of the night goes to Pete, who decides to talk about his love life with a therapist, who happens to be the "other woman" in this scenario.
What's up with Naomi? She's been lured in by Lockhart! Do you think Addison and Sam are overreacting with this "selling out" business or are they right to be concerned about this guy's motives.
Could Sam be any cuter being all protective in he elevator with Lockhart? "If you mess with Naomi - if you even think about screwing with her - I will take you out."
Addison goes from one extreme to another with her patient. At first she feels bad for this poor, misguided girl, and then in the hospital, when her patient's all black and blue, Addison spits out, "We are our actions . . . you're a hooker." Dang!

What did you think of this episode?
