A few weeks back, I promised a Spellingtastic announcement in a week’s time. Apparently, my understanding of the term “week” is a bit loose. Still, I’ve been a busy bee behind the scenes, and the end result is here at last. Meet The Spelling Bee. Yes, in the grand tradition of all things Spelling, Pop Vultures [...]
Continue reading...I am very late on this week’s Project Runway recap. I know this. I have a very good reason, though: I just care anymore. I still like Leanne, Korto, and Jerell, and I don’t even mind Suede, but the rest of them are just terrible, terrible people. I don’t even want to spend an hour a [...]

Project Runway, S05 E8: Double 0 Fashion. Last week on Project Runway: Leanne made car part couture and won. Keith had a gigantic nervous breakdown and lost. I started to wonder if the show had lost it, as well, when it couldn’t even make said breakdown dramatic or interesting in any way. This week, the designers [...]

If you woke up this morning desperately craving your weekly dose of Spelling goodness, wondering if the new PV would continue to cover 90210, the answer is…sort of. There is no recap of the gang’s weekly morality play today, but watch this space over the next week for a truly Spelling-tastic announcement.

Project Runway, S05 E07: Fashion That Drives You Last week on Project Runway, Daniel failed to embrace the dragtastic nature of the challenge and was sent home, where he is surely making a high end cocktail dress at this very moment. This week, the designers face a dreaded “innovation” challenge (read: thinly veiled product placement) when [...]

“I’m going to be saying ‘I’m not telling you’ a lot,” warns Steven Moffat, the newly appointed showrunner of Doctor Who. He may be happy to participate in a “conversation” at the Edinburgh TV festival (he was unwilling to use the festival’s preferred term of “master class”), but that doesn’t mean he’s going to tell [...]

Project Runway, S05 E06: Good Queen Fun. Last week on Project Runway: Brooke Shields showed us she’s still hot, and Kelli sadly showed us that she was not by designing a surprisingly tacky dress. This week: it’s a gay old time when PR breaks out the drag queen challenge, complete with special guest Chris March.

Project Runway, S05 E05: Welcome to the Jungle Last week, Korto celebrated the Olympics by stealing a win out from under Terri’s nose, and Jennifer went home, where hopefully there are lots of dictionaries and she can learn what surrealism actually means. This week: the designers get to create an outfit for Brooke Shields to wear [...]

Project Runway, S05 E04: Rings of Glory Last week on Project Runway: the designers were pretty much given free rein with a photo inspiration-based challenge, and Emily felt free to create a really ugly dress. Kenley won, allowing her latent smugness to rise to the surface. This week: hey, did you know the Olympics are coming?

Project Runway, S05 E03: Bright Lights/Big City Last week on Project Runway, Wesley’s discovery that short + tight + shiny = cheap earned him a ticket home, while Suede’s insistence on talking about himself in the third person did not automatically disqualify him from winning the challenge. This week, the designers find inspiration in New York [...]
