CrazySexyCool After that debacle of a Jet game I needed something fun and light and the TLC VH1 movie was just the ticket. It totally messed up my Sunday night viewing, but sometimes you just have to go with it and I did. TLC is still one of the biggest girl groups in the history of music. I thought I knew everything about them, but there was a lot of stuff I didn't know at all.
1) I had no idea that Pebbles was married to LA Reid and that she was the one who put TLC together. 2) I had no idea that Chili got pregnant right before they hit it big and had an abortion. 3) I knew that T-Boz had Sickel Cell Anemia, but I never realized just how serious the disease was and how it affected the bands touring and her life. 4) I never realized that Pebbles screwed the girls over so badly financially. 5) I knew that Lisa/Left Eye was a drinker and was the "Crazy" in the group but I didn't realize that she wrote many of the groups songs 6) I knew that she burned down Andre Rison's house and went to jail 7) I didn't know that Andre dressed like a pimp and wore white fur coats 8) I didn't know that Left Eye died in Honduras, for some reason I thought the car accident was here in the US 9) I knew that Chili had a baby, but I think I forgot that T-Boz had one too.
The actresses who played the girls were amazing. They looked and spoke exactly like the real women. They spliced in real footage and it was pretty remarkable how close the resemblances were. Good movie VH1! Loved it!
Revenge Spoiler Alert! I was pretty tired toward the end of the episode, so lets just skip to the it for a second. Was Charlotte really trying to kill Conrad? That entire scene at the end where Victoria and Charlotte confront him and he forgives her and she says "I love you" was just so ridiculous that I thought maybe it was a dream sequence or something. I feel like I need to re-watch it now. Just when I thought the show had turned itself around and got the storyline back on track, I felt like the acting got a whole lot cheesier. I can't stand that Jack has to carry that baby everywhere he goes. I can't stand Margo from Pan Am and that yellow dress. Since when did Conrad have a garage filled with cars and how in the world did Emily know the code to get in? How does every guy in the show (except Nolan) have six pack abs and never go to the gym? Especially Jack. He's a single working Dad, where does he have time for crunches and planks? Only Victoria would show up at the pool in a black cocktail dress. Right? Of course we knew that Margo's dad didn't really break his leg. Is there anyone in this show that doesn't have Daddy issues? I think at this point, my favorite storyline is Patrick and Nolan. Since both of them go both ways, who knows if they are really into each other or not. I actually think that Nolan IS in to Patrick but Patrick will totally use Nolan and I'm still not sure where Aidan's loyalty lies at this point. He's lying to everyone.
Did anyone watch Homeland last night? Please tell me it was decent. I'll watch tonight.
NEWS & INFORMATION
-Marcia Wallace passed away at the age of 70 over the weekend. I'm not a big Simpsons person, but I know she was the voice of Bart's 4th grade teacher Mrs. Krabappel. I knew her as Carol on The Bob Newhart Show. RIP Marcia Wallace. -A bit more on the Scandal scandal, it turns out the blogger isn't the person we all thought it was,Courtney Pajor, but it is her ex roommate. So not sure where that leaves this story. Is it still considered a scandal then? Not in my book unless this Courtney chick is feeding the ex roommate with info. I'm dropping it...for now. -Over the weekend, FOX's Dads got picked up for the entire season, Drop Dead Diva was renewed by Lifetime for another season and MTV gave the word that Catfish would be back for season 3. Congrats to all. Gotta admit, I'm sort of surprised about Dads.
-Comcast is testing out a new offer: Internet Plus which bundles Internet service, broadcast TV, VOD and HBO Go. The cost...anywhere from 39.99 to 49.99. They're just trialing it, and not going to an a la cart menu...yet, but again. We are only in the beginning of this type of thing. Can't wait to read my own archives in 10 years.
-News/Pop Culture network Fusion launches tonight. I forgot to look it up on my cable system to see if I have it. Just a reminder, Fusion is a partnership between Disney and Univision and tonight it kicks off with President Obama himself! That's a way to kick off a network.
