The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman -- Tina and Steph Kansas Get Out-Cheesed

Bachelorgroup If last week's episode of The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman proved that the way to win a guy over was not to regale him with tales of competitive girl drama, this week's episode proved that when a man is courting you, you can't let him sound more feminine than you.

Doctor, naval officer, chest shaver, and through-teeth talker Andy has been delivering classically cheesy one-liners throughout the series, like some bastard offspring of Vince Vaughn and the Dalai Lama. Last night's episode was no exception. A few examples:

"This tastes beautiful… just like you."

"Tell me about your dreams."

"My heart is full when I'm with you."

Insanely Thorough Dancing with the Stars Recap

Ianzier Hey, kids! It's Tuesday, and you know what that means. That's right, an insanely thorough Dancing with the Stars recap.

From Television Without Pity:
Laila's the only woman left now that Heather is gone! I forget sometimes that Billy Ray is still on this show. Doesn't it seem like he should have been gone like three weeks ago? And yet, there he is in all of his boot-scooting glory.

Ian really needs to lay off the tanning or the teeth whitening. I think you can do one or the other, but when you do both, it just looks weird. After the couples are introduced, Tom and Samantha are giddy with the giggles as they announce that the couples had to learn two dances this week.

American Idol: Best Episode EVER!

LakishaAmerican Idol
Title: "Top 6 Contestants Compete (Again!)"
First Aired: 5/1/07

Seriously, did you see that? Take all of the best moments from this season, roll 'em up in some Zig-Zags, and blammo!, you've got last night's episode in a blunt shell.

Now, for those who prefer regular English: Last night's episode was tip-top, with more storylines than Alec Baldwin has issues. Where should we start? Okay, how about this...

First, Jordin Sparks sucked it up. Then, Lakisha Jones sang so well that Simon Cowell kissed her on the mouth. Next, Blake Lewis brought back the beat-box. What else? Hmm... oh yeah, Jon Bon Jovi was in the house. Also, the President of the United States showed up. For real!

Totally Frakked: Dead Like Me Returns In Movie Form

Dead_like_me_2 Good news for everyone -- I like to call them "people with taste" -- who mourned the far-too-soon cancellation of Dead Like Me. The Showtime series will return in the form of a made-for-DVD movie.

Dead Like Me, much like creator Bryan Fuller's other project, Wonderfalls, fell off the air far too soon. The story revolved around George, a teenage girl who met an ignominious end -- a toilet seat from a space station fell on her head -- and found work in the afterlife as a grim reaper, stealing the souls of those about to die.

A pitch-black comedy with a modern fantasy bent, Dead Like Me never really found a wide audience, but it deserved one. If you're a fan, you're probably already putting the new movie on your wish list, if you haven't seen the show, pick up the DVDs and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Ooo La La! Ellen Will Host Talk Show From Bed

Totally Frakked: Heroes -- Back to the Future

Nup_105715_0376 Heroes
Title: “String Theory”
First Aired: 4/30/07

The latest episode of Heroes takes us five years into the future and back again, because conventional linear storytelling is for sissy girly-men. Ando and Hiro accidentally teleport themselves to a future in which New York blew up. Nathan is President, Bennet is running the underground railroad, and Claire is a brunette. I feel like I've been taking crazy pills!

Hiro arrives in the future, only to be confronted by… Hiro. It's a grim look into what may come. Sure, FutureHiro may be a sword-wielding badass, but he's also really angsty and has terrible facial hair. Fortunately, FutureHiro and PresentHiro are only in the same place for a few minutes, because the dialogue gets confusing fast:

Ando: "Go talk to yourself."
PresentHiro: "No way -- I scare me."

American_idol American Idol -- Six Finalists Left!
With America jonesing for silly-looking hair, Idol brings on Jon Bon Jovi to give us a little relief. Now that the finalists are done "giving back," it's time to get down to the important business -- being catty. Wait, we mean singing. Yeah.


Tate_donovan Law & Order: Criminal Intent -- Rocket Man
It's "ripped from the headlines" time as Goren and Eames investigate the murder of a pair of astronauts. Tate Donovan guest stars as a very naughty space cadet who ends up dead after sleeping around on his wife.

American Idol Chick (Jessica Sierra) Gets Arrested

Jessicasierra They say that in the future, 63.7% of Americans will have been contestants on American Idol. Honestly, who out there didn't go to high school with at least one person who could sing as well as any of the finalists on that show?

Anyway, until then, we'll be able to entertain ourselves every time a former contestant gets arrested for smashing a cocktail glass on someone's head -- as Jessica Sierra did this weekend.

[Jessica], who reportedly has been working as a Hooters waitress in Florida, was busted early Sunday morning by police in Tampa. Police say she was "uncooperative"when they led her away -- and that they had to threaten to shackle her legs because she threatened to kick out the windows of the patrol car.

Alec Baldwin Plans to Write Book Bashing Kim Basinger

Alecbaldwin Alec Baldwin has been a busy man lately. The 30 Rock star’s family life has been turned inside out ever since the leak of an angry voicemail he left on his 11-year-old daughter Ireland’s cell phone, in which he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig.”

Baldwin has apologized for the outburst, and is intent on letting the world know that ex-wife Kim Basinger drove the usually smooth-talking Baldwin to lash out after years of “parental alienation” -- by writing a book on the subject.

MeeVee Video Top 5: Doctor Dramas -- Grey's Anatomy, ER, House

Doctor Real-life doctors have crappy handwriting, their hands are always cold, and for the most part, they're uninteresting. TV doctors are a whole different breed. Their pseudo-lives keep audiences coming back for more every week. Between the steamy love affairs and the controversial decisions, there isn't a lot of room for boring. If real-life women had doctors who looked like Patrick Dempsey, serious cases of hypochondria would run rampant throughout the nation.

This week, Video Top 5 pays homage to doctor dramas. Watch clips of the hottest current medical series, Grey's Anatomy. Check out two-minute replays and interviews with the cast of ER. Thrill to the piano stylings of Hugh Laurie, as Dave Matthews makes a guest appearance on House. We also feature Nip/Tuck and General Hospital clips.

Finally, our YouTube clip of the week shows the importance of NOT interrupting a business call.

Make sure to catch our exclusive videos, take two aspirin, and get plenty of fluids and bed rest. Enjoy!

Totally Frakked: Smallville -- The Calm Before the Storm

Smallville_clark_luthor_smallSmallville
Title: “Nemesis”
First Aired: 4/26/07

A day after Kevin Tillman accused the US Army of lying about the friendly fire that killed his brother in Afghanistan, the latest Smallville arrives with unintentionally eerie timing.

In "Nemesis," a military wife bent on uncovering the truth behind her husband’s “death” comes gunning (literally) for Lex after unearthing a Luthorcorp connection. Lex denies any wrongdoing, and sides with the Army’s assessment of friendly fire. She doesn’t believe him. Is Lex telling the truth, or could he give our President a run for his money in the cover-up department?
