The Hills

MTV’s “The Hills,” the most scripted unscripted show ever.
Lauren Conrad speaks in a singsong monotone, no mean feat. Heidi Montag, Lauren’s frienemy, seems blind to the machinations of her blond bf Spencer. And Audrina is just plain…blah. But I’ll take blah over the two blond clones. *Shudder* I know their names! Must. stop. watching. The [...]

Los Angeles earthquake

OMG. I thought I was just imagining things.
I usually doze off around 12:30 to 1:00 a.m. with the t.v. on. I was already half asleep when I felt my bed moving for a few seconds. I thought I was just imagining things. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t because I got scared. [...]

Kimora and Ruffa

Kimora Life in the Fab Lane is a hoot. I’d say that she takes white trash reality tv to a whole new level except that, well, she’s not white. And how can you bring trashy a level up?
She reminds me of Ruffa Gutierrez for some reason. Same diva complex. Same flashy designer clothes that scream [...]
