This jacket screams Karate Kid

Tonight I saw this jacket (at Penn Station) and it really reminded me of Cobra Kahn / Johnnie from Karate Kid. Remember when they beat him up that night he dresses up as a "shower?"

Nicely done dude!

Spitzer's "other girl" to be on new Trump show

It really amazes me how someone like Spitzer's side-chick can continue to get work now that she has become infamous.

An insider at Donald Trump’s newly announced My Fair Lady-style MTV reality show tells PEOPLE that infamous call girl Ashley Alexander Dupré has been asked to join the cast.
The still-untitled show, produced by Donald Trump Productions (and referred to in some press reports as “Lady or a Tramp”) was picked up by MTV for eight hour-long episodes. Based on a British show called Ladette to Lady, the show will take a group of 15 hard-partying young women and send them off to a boarding school environment where they’ll learn to become more ladylike.

“She’s the perfect candidate,” the show insider says of Dupré, the 22-year-old at the center of the Gov. Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. The show has not yet heard back from Dupré with any reaction to the offer.

The Hills is back - Update!

LC and Whitney fly out to France, where THE cheesiest french dude, Mattheus, drops the line, "Have you hever seen zee Eiffel Tower, Lauhren?" Wow. It's like me saying, "Have you ever seen the Statue of Liberty? Well, uh, there it is! And oh! There's Staten Island!" Dude got extra creepy near the end, jumping out of the bushes to "surprise" LC. Oui Oui, creep!

Meanwhile, Heidi goes back to Crested Butte, CO to hang with her mom and step-dad. Spencer gets on a plane to go visit her, and the reception he gets is colder than the frigid weather! Sorry, dude. His werewolf-ness gets turned away by the family. Super-awkward. But not as awkward as Heidi's new lip filler surgery.

LC also finds out Brody has already moved on. The best line is, "Well...that took all of 2 days!" by our Whitney. Whit(ty) seems disillusioned by her job and her prick boss-guy (Prada ad wanna-be who needs to get his face punched) tells her maybe it's a good idea for her to move on. Someone shove him into the Seine!

Centro - great place!

Centro was the site of my birthday dinner and it was awesome. Small bite-sized plates (porcini mushrooms, frittata) were excellent as was the wine (barbara d'alba). Try the wild boar ragu with gnocchi as a Primi and the Lambshank as the Sccondi. The waiter was the best - telling us what to order and what to avoid. An honest waiter is such a huge plus! He earned a healthy tip at the end of the evening. Thanks to A for planning!!

Hulu launches...and I found a great clip!

I'm testing out the embed function of hulu's new player. If you don't know what Hulu is, it is the joint venture of NBC and Fox to provide a single destination for the majority of their shows from the past and present...but NO American Idol...too bad for all you fans out there. Check out this Natalie Portman rap video from SNL.

MC Hammer says, "Hammertime"

Was at a digital media event tonight and saw that MC Hammer was to attend. The funny thing is that he had a name tag just like all of us....

Except his first name was written as "MC." Does that mean I was supposed to call him MC? (I didn't).

He was there to promote his website, http://www.dancejam.com

Once I saw him roll in (sans entourage), it was like in slow-mo. I had flashbacks to the old cartoon that he used to have - wasn't that called "Hammertime?" Anyway, I talked to him for a bit. We covered subjects like his new website...here are some tidbits...

On Dancing with the Stars: "Yea, they've asked me to do it every year since they started the show. But what would that say about me as a dancer when someone like Emmitt Smith would win? That would say that I'm just as good as Emmitt Smith. And that wouldn't be good for me or my image."

On America's Best Dance Crew: "We've been talking to those groups on the show. JabbaWockeez. Yea!"

On DanceJam: "It's the ultimate dance website. You can upload your own videos and you can dance and the online community can vote for their favorite dancers. MTV wanted to buy it already, but I'm not for sale yet."After giving him my card, he wrote me an email!

Dancing with the Stars - Monica Seles?

I stumbled upon this show, even though I work at the network, and I have found it mildly amusing. They have really assembled a bunch of crazy "Stars" to dance with real dancers. Just watched Monica Seles dance. I remember when she got stabbed. That made me sad. So it was good to see her bustin' a move now.

The best is Kristi Yamaguchi! Someone in the middle of nowhere in illinois asked my sister while she was in a Walgreens whether she was Kristi Yamaguchi. ha!

I wonder if they picked "Teller" from Penn & Teller, whether he would speak at all during the rehearsal segments?
