We caught Kathy Griffin's "Straight to Hell" special on Bravo last week. Not a secret that we fucking LOVE Kathy Griffin and this show is EXACTLY why. She is brilliant from start to finish.

I'm off to see Rachel Ray at her new daytime talk show. I love living in New York for being able to do this kind of stuff. Now if we could only get tickets to The View, all would be well.

We're loving, loving, loving NBC's "Heroes" and not just because I'm a comic's geek. I'm validated in this by Jeff's consistent assenting to my repeated questioning of, "do you like it? do you, do you, do you, huh?"

BUT!

I'm not sure I can support a show with the deep and philosophical motto reveiled on tonight's episode:

"Save the cheerleader, save the world".

Are ou telling me this whole thing is hinged on a Texas cheerleader? Fuck.

Poo on anyone not watching Project Runway on BRAVO. 12 up and coming fashion designers squaring off each week in weirdo competitions (design a dress using "envy" as the theme) that put them and their skills to the test. The designers are all characters and honestly, having known a young, up and coming fashion designer for some number of years, it seems they're all cut from the same bizarro cloth.

All that being equal, what's a reality show without some ridiculous tag line used when one of the contestants is thrown off? Thankfully Heidi Klum as the hostess of the show gets to really vamp off it. Her intro, right before the runway competition starts always beings with the same speech: "As you know, fashion is about the now. One day yaw in and the next....(dramatic pause or forgetting line, we're unsure)...yaw out. Blah, blah, blah." But the best is when they toss the contestant off for horrible, uninspired, ugly work. Then you get the very Aryan handshake with a firm "Auf Wiedersehen!!" I almost expect her to get pissy with the devastated designer and give them a final, "I said GOOD DAY."

Watch it!
