Gossip Girl Starts Tonight!

FabSugarUK — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:00:47 -0700

This evening US teen drama Gossip Girl finally hits our screens! Hurrah! Prepare yourself for a lot of very attractive teenage girls with a wardrobe you would literally kill for and plenty of bitchiness.

Pop UK has a preview of what's in store but more importantly, keep your eyes on their style in preparation for tomorrow's quiz! If there has been a void in your life since the death of Marissa in the O.C (let's face it, that's when it started to go downhill!) then this will definitely fill it.

Watch out for Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester, right) who has already made red carpet news and Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively, left) who will leave you wondering just how she pulls those looks off. It's on ITV2 this evening at 10pm.
You know you'll love it!
XOXO

What's the Worst Pick up Line you Have Ever Heard?

DearSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:00:00 -0700

It seems like some men just don't know how to be subtle anymore. While I find confidence and assertiveness attractive, a presumptuous and overly cocky man just makes me cringe. After reading an article about the new VH1 show, "The Pick-Up Artist" it made me realize that the days of going out with your girlfriends, just to catch up without being bothered by men are long gone.

This new show teaches 8 unlucky in love men how to gain self confidence in order to turn the women of their dreams into the women of their reality. It's an eight week boot camp to compete for the title of "Master Pick-Up Artist" aided by Mystery, the head honcho, and his wing men, Matador and J Dog. While it seems pretty astonishing that some men have a difficult time mastering the art of the pick up line since it is second nature to oh so many, ladies, tell me, what is the worst pick up line you have ever been thrown?

The Oprah Winfrey Show to End in 2011!

PopSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:31:34 -0800

The Oprah Winfrey Show is to end in 2011, with the final programme airing in the US on September 9.

A spokesperson for Oprah's production company, Harpo, wouldn't comment further on the news, but said she would talk about it on today's show. However, it is expected that she'll concentrate on the launch of her own television channel. OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, should launch in 2011.

Oprah's TV show has been going for over two decades, and is hugely influential - particularly on book sales, thanks to her famous book club. It will be the end of an era!

Are Cooking Television Shows Too Unrealistic?

partysugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:50:52 -0700

In his blog on the New York Times, food journalist Mark Bittman makes the claim that food television - particularly cooking shows that teach a viewer how to make something - are too unrealistic. Unlike the real world, the chefs never make mistakes and each dish always comes out perfectly. He says:

When you watch most celebrity chefs go to work on TV it is a) baffling and intimidating, and b) a charade. Baffling and intimidating because nearly every ingredient is usually prepared in advance, and what isn’t is selected so that the chef can show off his (almost never “her”) knife skills, which are bound to intimidate nearly all of us who can never aspire (and why would we, really?) to chopping an onion with our eyes closed.

While I understand how the lack of miscalculation may isolate a viewer, I disagree with Bittman. I enjoy the Barefoot Contessa because her world is an escape from my reality: In her sunny Hampton house the food is consistently delicious. Rather than feel intimidated, I feel inspired! What's your take on Bittman's perspective?

Watch Hit TV Shows On MySpace

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:02:03 -0700

Networks like The CW and NBC are trying to tap into highly trafficked social networking sites like MySpace by offering video streams of popular TV shows. According Broadcasting & Cable, when The CW promoted America's Next Top Model on MySpace, their season-premiere ratings increased 36 percent among teens compared to its 2005 debut.

With over 61.5 unique visitors in January and even more in February, MySpace has become one of the best places for networks to showcase their goods.

MySpace also plans to launch a service where users can stream or 'host' shows on their MySpace page. As well, starting this summer NBC Universal and News Corp. will be launching a site with MySpace being their primary source for distributing TV and videos. Great - even more reasons to stay glued to my laptop!

My Little Pony Trotting Back to TV

BuzzSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:30:00 -0800

The beloved '80s toy turned movie turned TV show, My Little Pony, is getting resurrected with a series set to air on the new Discovery-Hasbro kids channel.

Makes sense since My Little Pony is a Hasbro creation, but I have mixed feelings over this news. I was nutty for the toys growing up - I even had a tiny plastic pony tent that I used to pitch in my living room. And while I'm glad to see an old familiar friend make a comeback, I hope they don't turn it into some newfangled 2.0 version meant to look more slick, like so many other cartoons nowadays. Don't mess with a classic, people!

What's your take on My Little Pony's TV update? Were you a fan of the original?

Have You Ever Watched a TV Show for the Animals?

PetSugar — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:00:57 -0700

I definitely know I notice pets in films, but I think I've got good recall for pets on sitcoms or reality shows, too – many times that's what keeps me tuning in week after week. Have you ever watched a TV show more for the animals than the two-legged stars? I definitely tuned into Frasier for Eddie more than the actual plotline, and I remember when the show was on (and "Moose" was still alive), he got more fan mail than anyone else on the show. After you answer this poll, don't forget to share your fave animal TV stars with me as well!
