Happy Turkey Day!

Silent Library

So, while we were enjoying the Kevin Federline Nationwide Insurance commercial this morning...


... one of my work daddies asked if I'd ever seen Silent Library...

Yes, this particular episode is 8 minutes, which seems long... but it's worth each and every second of pure comedy genius... Enjoy!

Too Thin for TV...

I saw this issue of US Weekly at the grocery store last week and had to pick it up.

The Husband and I have been wondering for weeks now about just how skinny Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup really are.

I've been joking that they probably wear a size quadruple zero, and it turns out I wasn't too far from reality...

Us Weekly hired a doctor to estimate how much the girls weigh in at, and Beverly Hills-based weight-management expert Dr. Joyce Peters says Jessica Stroup, 21, is 5-foot-8 but weighs 100 to 105 pounds and Shenae Grimes, 18, is 5-foot-3 and stands at a mere 90 pounds.

According to the magazine, clothes in the shows wardrobe only range from double 00 to size 2...

They went on to say that "5’7” AnnaLynne McCord, who’s estimated at a somewhat meatier 110 pounds, gobbled breaded chicken and potatoes at the Sept. 13 Point Foundation Gala in LA."

Um... since when is being 5'7" and 110 pounds considered "meaty"... I also really appreciated how they described this 110 pound girl eating as "gobbling"...

Here's a pic of all three 90210 stars together...

So meaty...

Unbelievable.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the average U.S. woman is 5' 4” tall and weighs 152 pounds. This would put them at or around a size 12 to 14.

Seriously people, it's absolutely amazing to me that 50% of all American women weigh over 140 pounds and yet how we're portrayed on the teevee clocks in at a size double zero?

Oh, and what's with calling Ugly Betty's America Ferrara a 'good example of a curvy woman'? She's a size 6.

So, I guess this is what 'curvy' looks like...


I would hate to see what Hollywood considers 'fat'...

Damn you, Charles Rosin...

I've always said... if I can get you to watch just one episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 with me, I can get you hooked... big time. My husband and I have been feverishly watching the newly released 90210 Season 5 lately... and yes... both of us are really enjoying it!

It's the season when Valerie Malone shows up, they burn Kelly in a fire, Donna starts dating that musician guy whose character on the show actually hurt his real life music career, Makenzie Phillips shows up for an intervention, and more! Not to mention, Donna Martin's hair and wardrobe hit an all time bizarre mixed with a bit of oh no she didn't...

Today I started wondering if there are any 90210 blogs out there in bloglandia... turns out, there's one pretty good one - mostly focusing on 90210 2.0 (which is fine with me).

It got me thinking, however, way way back in the early dark ages of the internets, Mike Doughty - the guy from Soul Coughing - had what we now know as a blog, but back then, was considered "posting some stuff on an AOL chat room type thing" - called Peach Pit Babylon. Dude was obsessed with 90210 and would do weekly updates which were quite entertaining despite my luke warm feelings about his band.

Does it still exist? Kinda... You can check out his take on Season 6 right here.

Oh, and you should also check out the new 90210 2.0 blog right here.

In case you're wondering... "Damn you, Charles Rosin" is what I say (sometimes scream) at the end of each episode... his is the first credit you see. Back in the day when I was a slave to network television schedules, seeing Charles Rosin meant that we had to wait an entire week (sometimes more... damn you, Thanksgiving) to see the next episode.
