Memo to
CBS…you need to keep “The Good Wife” as long as NBC has kept “Law & Order.” Julianna Margulies is breathtaking in her portrayal of Alicia Florrick. She’s that good, that she even makes me like the truly unlikable Chris Noth, who is giving the performance of his career.
Our Girl Kirstie!
Well, this week our girl has an epiphany. No, not Sonya Eddy’s character on “General Hospital,” but a real epiphany! SHE’S LOSING WEIGHT!!!! Finally, at long last, it’s about f$%@#*g time!!!
Then, she decides that the “skinnies” must walk a mile in her “fat, unhealthy shoes,” by wearing fat 
suits & weights on their little bodies. Watching as Kirstie instructs her minions on how to dress, bathe and move when they’re so obese is hilarious! As Jim put it, he might be “fattie McFattie,” but at least “I’m losing the weight.” Then, she makes them go out to a restaurant “paired up with their chubby-buddies” and trying to fit into the car. “Chin up,” she cries, “all three of them! So nice,” she adds, “not to be the second fattest person in my platoon!” And now, Kirstie has a new boy toy. Or does she? Imaginations run wild as Kirstie and Nick decide to make a “How to Lose Weight While You’re Shagging Your Wife” video for Jim, so he won’t pig out and gain weight while he’s back home with his wife in Florida. Snoopy assistant Kelly overhears them and goes for the boy toy thing, as do the rest of the kids and staff, who get together at Kyle’s insistence to out the pair. Evidence is presented and they all jump to the wrong conclusion, not realizing that Kirstie has asked Nick to keep quiet about the video. Use your imagination, and it won’t even come close to this plot! Bye-bye until next season, Kirstie & company!
And the countdown begins! Two weeks worth of "Lost," and I'm beginning to
think that everything will eventually (by May 23rd) make sense, but then again, I could be wrong. Between "The Candidate" and "Across the Sea," which was supposed to explain Not Locke, MIB, Jacob and a whole lot of other stuff, I'm more confused than ever. Are we having fun yet? And now, as I will every week through the end of "Lost" (NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!), hand you over to my pal Bill Ervolino's "Completely Lost" site. Enjoy! http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/completelylost
OK, Addicted (or getting there)!
OMG!!! Surprise, Arizona is a REAL surprise and “Sunset Daze” could take the place of “Jersey Shore” in my reality TV heart! I remember about 25 years ago, this woman moved to Sunrise Lakes, Florida, where my mother lived. She was younger than the other “girls” in the cul-de-sac and wore wild clothes and had flaming red hair. Well, I think she re-located to 
“Sunset Daze.” These broads are wild, wild, wild, and horny as hell! Last week’s episode with pole dancing, a stripper cop & tp’ing their neighbor’s house while he’s in the hospital having a hernia operation, could be a bit too much. This show should be an interesting (golf cart) ride. Time will tell, as long as none of them buckle mid-season!
Gleek Alert - Guest of the Week
Olivia Newton John. Ok, not as good as the Kristin Chenoweth, Matthew Morrison, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith “A House is Not A Home”/”One Less Bell to Answer,” event, but Sue Sylvester’s embarrassing “Let’s Get Physical” video posted by Finn is hilarious. You know I think that Jane Lynch is perfect (OK, I could have been Mrs. Jane Lynch, but she’s engaged to some hussy), but throw Newton John into the mix, and it makes for a perfect GleekMania video event, redoing the tune with a gaggle of hunky guys with great pecs and Lynch looking at Newton John like she was, well…lunch. 
But the thing that makes me love this character so much, are the scenes with Sue and her sister Jean (played by the wonderful Robin Trocki) who has Down Syndrome, in the nursing home where she lives. It explains so much about Sue Sylvester, and so much about the subtlety of Jane Lynch’s magnificent acting.
Soapbox Moment of the Day:
It’s “Janet, from another planet” back on “All my Children,” and things will never be the same. The amazing Kate Collins returns as Amanda’s whacked out mother, Janet Dillon, on the run from the 
nut-house after pretending to be a nurse, trying to spirit Amanda and baby Trevor to go to Milan, so she can manage her daughter’s career. This will be an interesting May sweeps as “Grandma” swoops in, causing mayhem and chaos. “Janet, in her insanity, thinks she can manage Amanda’s career better than anyone else and wants to take her and the grandbaby off to Europe. She’s even made fake passports,” reports Collins. “And of course she sees Amanda’s husband, Jake, as a big threat to all this. He’s an obstacle and he must be dealt with!” Well, we all know what THAT means! But then…Janet has a stroke! Is it real? Will she just pretend to be disoriented? Will she forget how nuts she really is? Wait and see. A free pair of tickets to White’s Lies, with Tuc Watkins, Betty Buckley and Peter Scolari, if you can tell me who Kate Collins famous relative is.
See you next week…
