Lauren Conrad Collection - Like, OMG, Goodbye

Well, it's official. LC's attempt at revolutionizing the fashion world with her out-of-this-world designs (Kmart) and cutting edge materials (polyester) just did not shake up sales enough to be around anymore.

Is this a reflection of that "school" she attended while on The Hills? Remember that school? That's where she coincidentally met up Spencer's sister who we can only hope does not attempt to start her own line as well.

One must wonder whether Whitney's new line will outlast LC's. For that matter, whether The City will outlast The Hills now?

Hmmmm....

Online ad revenue for the NCAA Tournament

Who says there's a recession?

From Silicon Alley Insider:

"CBS' online and broadcast revenues are growing for the network's NCAA tournament coverage--defying conventional wisdom that web video will eat away at television's cash haul. And the $30 million in online revenue is all gravy for CBS, which gets to keep all its "new media" take thanks to a $6 billion, 11 year deal signed in 1999. (It has to share some of the t.v. revenue with the NCAA.)"

I've got to think people (ahem - Mr. Zucker!!) will start paying attention when the dollars start rolling in!

BTW, I've got Oklahoma taking the whole thing. I know, I know, you all picked UNC.

Saturday Night Live, Dateline Parody

Bill Hader does a spot on impersonation of Keith Morrison of Dateline.

I'm not sure if you've ever seen these segments actually on Dateline but they are so over the top!

It must be weird for Bill to run into this guy in the hallway at 30 Rockefelller.
First watch Dateline



Then watch the SNL skit!

The City Finale: Whitney says adios to being a doormat

Well, we have finally seen The City make Whitney into a better person.

As someone who has been beaten down over and over by the Big Apple, I can appreciate the highs and lows that Whitney experiences in the show. But in reality, she has it much worse.

She has to work with such an airhead co-worker, Olivia, while balancing her deadbeat homeless boyfriend who desperately wants to look like Adrian Grenier, and all the while try to impress Diane Von Furstenberg, Mrs. Self-Admitted Promiscuity who creepily rubs Whit's knee when consoling her at her party. At least she looks like she showers, unlike Whitney's old boss, Kelly Cutrone.

The key nemesis is shaping up to be quite a character, as Olivia aggressively takes credit for pulling the look for Jessica Alba on a recent Elle Magazine cover. You would think she would realize that the scene has been filmed and anyone can go back and actually watch her disagreeing with Whitney before begrudgingly including it in the selection. She never gives credit to Whitney and it becomes apparent that she has somehow convinced herself of her own talents! The best is when she become annoyed when confronted and will give her "more credit" if it makes her feel better. HA! What a joke.

Then to B-List Adrian Grenier Wanna-Be Ex-Boyfriend, Jay. How is it that his band is touring? What person will pay to listen to the island sounds of this band? Is it to catch a glimpse of another 15-min of fame guy perform? How is it that he is suddenly back in town to see Whitney? I find it hard to believe that someone who felt so locked down in a relationship suddenly realizes he loves her and wants her back. Maybe he realizes that without Whitney, his face time on cable TV has suddenly tanked like the stock market and his even more pathetic band will by no means gain any more free publicity through the chance relationship he had with Whitney. She deserves better and she made it a point to tell him so. Nice!

Predictions for Season 2:

1. Erin hooks up with Adam
2. Adam dumps his girlfriend, not for Erin, but for another girl, now that his model girlfriend has taken him back. (He wins, so now he doesn't have to beg. Pathetic)
3. Jay lingers around like a nagging cough hoping the cameras catch his scruff enough so he stays relevant
4. Olivia deepens her voice even further as she thinks it sounds more "professional" and decides to downgrade her daily Nobu sushi lunches to Nobu Next Door in light of being sensitive to the recession
5. Whitney focuses on her career too much, while LC decides that Whitney's show is actually better and more entertaining than The Hills and pines for more airtime on The City.

I guess we'll just have to tune in and see!
