-Seth Myers, Kelly’s gorgeous purple shoes and still no sign of the necklace meant nothing the second that Zac Efron walked out on to the beautiful new set of LIVE WITH KELLY yesterday.  Not only is he too cute, but he seems really sweet as well.  I will be seeing his new movie THE LUCKY ONE tonight at 7:15pm. 

-Before my evening got started, I caught up on REVENGE.  Everyone falls hard for the evil Victoria Grayson, now there is this artist dude too?  It’s unbelievable considering how mean and manipulative she can be but she does dress really nice. (Take note Kelly Ripa’s stylist)  Everyone else is just trying to stay one step ahead of her, especially Emily/Amanda who seemed to have this crazed look on her face for the entire episode…It was a face that said “don’t F with me, I am back on track and nothing is going to stop me especially you Victoria”.  Jack is the biggest fool of all…wait til he finds out that the Amanda he thinks he is in love with and protecting and now dropping everything to go find in Canada isn’t even his Amanda.  He is going to feel like a big fat idiot for being so duped.  Charlotte’s back to popping pills and Decklin’s back to being poor.  Daniel got the crap beaten out of him and then got released on 10 million dollars bail only to be sentb back to Grayson manor where he is now under house arrest.  He happens to still look good even with all those bruises all over his face.  Glad I caught up…it was bugging me all day since so many people wanted to discuss it.  Bring it on now guys!

-FINALLY Elena and Damon are in kissing…FINALLY and then what happens…Jeremy has to interrupt them with big news on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES…these writers and producers sure know how to keep the sexual tension high on this show.  At least we have Caroline and Tyler back together which was fun, but if it was me and Damon was there with his abs exposed like that, I wouldn’t stop to go deal with originals and Jeremy or anything else…Elena has some serious willpower.  Ester came back with an awesome way to scam her own kids, pretty sure she isn’t going to actually kill them or that would ruin things overall for the storyline, but maybe there is a whole other bunch of original vampires just waiting in the wings for next season.  One other thing…I have to remember never to move to Mystic Falls…besides all of the supernatural issues this community has…they are also obsessed with throwing dance, balls and parties…I mean there is one every week and for me that just won’t work.  A) I can’t dance and B) Not big on ball gowns. 

-Okay did anyone watch RULES OF ENGAGEMENT last night?  The story was, that Jeff and Audrey met and befriended a new couple in the building and they really liked them.  When they went to try and make plans with them again, the wife said the husband was sick, but of course when Audrey goes to pick up pizza, there they are busted for lying.  Obviously they just didn’t like Audrey and Jeff and didn’t want to hang out with them again.  So Audrey calls them out on it and assumes it’s Jeff they don’t like but then Jeff sees them in the elevator and they tell Jeff it’s Audrey they don’t like then they come clean and basically…they just don’t like either one of them.  OMG how many times does something like this happen in real life but without the truth?  My husband and I have been through this on both ends,(I know hard to believe someone wouldn’t like us…but it happens) unfortunately we didn’t have writers to help us with witty dialogue, but it came right out of my life…good one guys!  I know I say this all the time, but this show is SO underrated…CBS people…please stick up for this one in the next few weeks…it’s a keeper!

-Pretty sure that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were having dinner and discussing how to execute a perfect product integration.  Tina must have given Amy tips, because the Beneful Dog Food integration on PARKS AND RECREATION last night was perfect.  So many of them just don’t work, but 30 ROCK has always done them well and now PARKS AND REC too.  I am hoping that the “if Bobby Newport wins the election, Chris Trager aka Rob Lowe is out” foreshadowning is not a sign of things to come…unless of course Rob is going to take the job over on LIVE WITH KELLY.  Rob is so good on P&R and now that he has hired Ron as assistant city manager it could be hilarious.  Unless you’re going over to LIVE Rob, stay put…We all remember what happened with Dr. Vegas right?

Here are two deleted scenes from last night's episode of PARKS & REC I like the second one better than the first one...check them out:

 
-Some reminders for this weekend…for all of you 90210 fans who gave up SHANNEN SAYS already, another 90210 alumni, Jenny Garth launches her reality show tonight on CMT and don’t forget that VEEP premiere’s on HBO on Sunday night.  It better be better than GIRLS!  The promo’s look good, but so did LUCK so let’s see what happens. Also on Sunday…REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY is back…Sunday’s seriously have become the best night for TV and the most stressful for me.  I need to seriously plot it all out…

-Colton Dixon was eliminated on AMERICAN IDOL last night.  I don’t watch, but apparently it was a big deal since it’s on the front page of Yahoo news this morning.

-Today happens to be National Weed Day, so for anyone using a personal day to celebrate…oh you probably won’t be reading this til much later…so I will go with  “Hope you HAD a great Weed Day!”  

WWTM’s Weekend Movie Suggestion:  Apparently MANY of you have never seen SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER…this is essential viewing, so for those of you who have not seen it…it is your homework assignment this weekend.
