THE SHOWS The Vampire Diaries Leave it to Julie Plec to figure out a way for Damon to be dead, alive and dead all at the same time. Who cares as long as he's still around for us to all look at. So basically, Elena is addicted to some hallucinogenic herbs that allow her to see and speak to Damon. Only problem is that now she's got crazy blood lust and keeps attacking people. Mystic Falls is currently under a protection spell, so things in town are sort of boring. Sure, its good for the Mystic Fallians, but not for Caroline, Elena and Alaric who will fry if they even think about stepping over the town line. Talk about a sizzler! Stefan's in Georgia working through his issues and Caroline is leaving really, realllllly long voicemails on his phone which would annoy anyone enough to smash their own phone. I guess Stefan doesn't care about getting full value on his trade in for the new iPhone 6. I didn't understand the ending of the episode. I guess on the other side, Damon and Bonnie are living together, reading the paper and making fun vampire pancakes? I'll wait for Julie to explain next week. SCANDAL You gotta admit, Cyrus's hair is great but incredibly distracting, isn't it? The new hair makes him look softer and younger, but he's still a tough you-know-what. He and his new hair got Olivia back on the books and back in The White House. It also got him a hot hook-up with a James look-a-like. Wellllll not really, Portia De Rossi was more responsible than the hair for that. I just hope Michael's not taping it all or keeping the credit card receipts or something. I know it's only the beginning of the 14/15 TV season, but I'm already nominating Bellamy Young for an Emmy. Mellie has come unglued and spiraled into a pool of grief that is an amazing example of acting at its finest. Note to the writers and director: I loved the 2 sex scenes at the same time, but Jake and Olivia's booty call that actually included designer boots was awesome, just wish we spent a bit more time with them. Not that I didn't enjoy Michael and Cyrus, but you know that Jake and Olivia were WAY hotter to watch. Scandal Trivia Question #1: Name the 2 songs from last nights episode Scandal Trivia Question #2: What college did David Rosen go to? PARENTHOOD Dear Mr. Katims I am pretty sure that there are now only 11 episodes of Parenthood, your 2nd best masterpiece ever, left. I am begging…BEGGING, that you not let Zeek die. I'm pretty sure I've shed at least one tear during every episode I've ever watched and I just don't think I could watch all of my Braverman say goodbye to one of the best TV dads ever. I don't think I can say goodbye to him either. Please let him live to hold his great-grandson and to see Max graduate from the school his Mom and Dad built with love for him. Please let him live to see Crosby produce the next Maroon 5 album and to see his daughter Sarah become a grandmother. Please let him live to give his daughter away, again, to Joel. Please let him live for Camille. Now that she's found him again, I don't want her to lose him. Thanks in advance. Kristy Carruba/WWTM
THE OTHER STUFF
-Thanks to everyone for all the emails and texts. I was glued to TMZ, US Weekly, E! Online and every other celebrity news source yesterday while I waited to hear Joe and Theresa's sentencing news. For anyone who didn't hear, Theresa Giudice will begin her 15 month jail sentence on January 5th. When she's done, Joe goes in the slammer for 41 months. They'll both be appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Monday night. I'm sure Theresa's been on the phone all night trying to find a designer to bedazzle her orange jumpsuit. She's also got just enough time to watch both season of Orange is the New Black before she becomes the next Piper! -Netflix is continuing its quest for world domination. Welllll maybe not world domination but for this TVholic, I'd say they're headed towards content destination domination. They just signed another VERY interesting first of its kind deal with Adam Sandler. Adam will make 4 movies exclusively for Netflix. Not sure how it's all going to work, but I'm betting on Netflix to continue to have significant impact on the marketplace and how it evolves. -I bet Tom Staggs and Jay Rasulo are scratching their heads and coming up with Plan B now that Bob Iger has decided NOT to retire after all. Bob's staying put through 2018. He loves his job and couldn't think of anything better to do, so…he's just not going. You just KNOW those guys are like "W…T…F, we gotta wait 4 more years for the big promotion now?" That sucks! -I thought I read it wrong when I saw that USA cancelled Rush and renewed Satisfaction. Rush had better ratings than Satisfaction all Summer long. Satisfaction stunk. So why this decision? Maybe because USA owns Satisfaction and not Rush? Does that matter if nobody watches? -Nicholas D'Agosto, aka super cute Ethan from Masters of Sex will appear on Gotham as Two Face. I told my husband to let me know when he's on. I'm not watching Gotham, but I'll watch him. Mark my words, he's going to be a big star. You'll see, I know I'm right about this. The guys HOT and can actually act. If he doesn't jump on a couch or beat his partner he'll be a big deal. -I love a good concert, I'll remind you as it gets closer. Tom Hanks is putting together The Concert for Valor in Washington DC on 11/11. Springsteen, Eminem, Dave Grohl, Metallica, and Rhianna are all confirmed to perform so far. This one could be good guys. Friday's Trivia Question: Sherry Stringfield guest starred on Scandal last night. She starred in one of NBC's biggest dramas of all time. Name the show and her character's name.
