From this week’s TV Guide, on the issue of Olivia’s boyfriend:

“He’s a little bit older and stronger and a bit of competition for Stabler,” says executive producer Neal Baer.

“Please,” Meloni protests. “He’s an egghead. He’s a reporter for the ‘New York Ledger’.”

Hargitay provides the backstory: “Olivia was turned down for adoption and figures if she gets married, she can be a parent. But as much as she wants stability and somebody to go home to, he’s not the one. He wasn’t right for her and she knew it. So she didn’t tell Elliot because he’s her mirror – looking at him is like looking at the truth.”

TADA!

Everyone can now breathe easy. Even the E/O shippers.

New episodes of Man Vs Wild will premiere May 2nd.

Bear needs more muck on him.

Ahhhh.. there. Much better.

Hah.

Just saw this week’s episode.

“Weapons Locker 1701D”. Yeaaaaaaaa!!!

Also, I want to like Cally but I don’t. She’s always been such a weak character. From the moment she shot Boomer till now… Just. Ick.

Still agree with Nana – Apollo is only hot while lusting after Starbuck.

Cylons on cylons (and not in that kinky way) is plenty great.

… but where are we going with this?

This postcard from this week’s PostSecret made me really, really, really sad:

I either did not feel the earthquake or I slept through it.

Either way, I’m pissed that I missed it.

*THUD*

Gillian Anderson is in the May issue of Maxim.

“Aliens conquering the earth would be fine with me, as long as they make me their queen.”

Heh.

Gillian is a Helen Mirren fangirl and she aspires to be just like her. If there’s one thing she’s doing right, it’s the whole getting-hotter-as-she-gets-older thing that the venerable Dame Helen has going.

Thank you, God, for the beautiful men and women of this earth. For without them I wouldn’t be able to indulge in such shallow pursuits. Amen.

Arizona has a bill that will prohibit race-based student groups…

Choice quote:

“This bill basically says, ‘You’re here. Adopt American values,’” State Rep. John Kavanagh, a Republican, told The Arizona Republic. “‘If you want a different culture, then fine, go back to that culture,’” he said.

Here’s that asinine piece of legislation. Read it and tell me it’s not the stupidest thing you have ever read this side of the twenty-first century.

First of all, the fact that this amendment even got out of committee makes me go WTF.

Second of all… I don’t even have a second of all! If this doesn’t get laughed out of the state’s House and Senate, I will have a very dim view of people from Arizona.

Continuing my Operation Bring Back ADA Alex Cabot.

Reasons why Dick Wolf should give Stephanie March a call:

• The SVU detectives will be spared from having to break in a clueless prosecutor
• During cross examinations, Alex Cabot says stuff like, “You’ve offered a provocative theory. What it lacks in substance, it makes up for in pretty colors.” zing!
• Three words: Cabot versus Petrovsky.
• Another three words: Cabot versus Donnelly.
• Like a three-act play, the return of Alexandra Cabot will conclude the story arc following “Loss” and “Ghost”. That’s epic, yo.
• Believe you me, the combo of Mariska Hargitay, Chris Meloni and Stephanie March melts TV sets:
  
• Finally – the slash writing universe will implode from all the subtext; my life will be more interesting

4/24 UPDATE: Sign the Bring Back Alex Cabot Petition.

On my morning round of blog reads I see on TV Squad that Diane Neal, who plays ADA Casey Novak on SVU, will leave the show at the end of this season.

YEA!

Now, ignoring that source news citing Dick Wolf’s looking for an “up-and-comer” to replace Neal (which warrants an entire separate blog entry about why that’s just silly Dick cause nothing draws ratings like the return of a favorite character. HELLO??!)

… someone start Operation Bring Back ADA Cabot NOW!

4/24 UPDATE: Sign the Bring Back Alex Cabot Petition.

I just want to let everyone in the whole wide world know that food is the most awesomest thing in the history of the universe. It is TOTALLY better than sex. Not that, you know, sex is anything to sneeze at, mind you. It’s pretty snazzy, the sex thing.

But food… the cooking, the eating, the smelling, the ordering, the bickering, the hot, cold, crunchy, spicy, slimy, crispy, the wet, the dry, the fat, the skinny, sweet, salty, smoky, the burn, the bitter, the everything that makes it worth living for.

Call it what you want – epicurean pursuits, gourmet, foodie, a gastronaut perhaps, or like me, you’re a guilt free gourmand. Call it what you want, the labels don’t matter much. If you don’t find joy in food, we need to talk. On second thoughts, maybe we shouldn’t even be talking.

On a side note, the blog has new masthead. Figured the sideway icicle had to go…

It’s National Library Week.

Julie Andrews loves us.

So you should, too.

Just like the one in New York earlier this year, yesterday some 1000 KLites decide to do the Freeze.

For a couple of you reading this… around 3:18 into the video above you’re going to see a VERY familiar face. No, not me, you dungus…..

More videos here. But an ‘official’ one to be up later.

My question for those shown in the video taking photos… (unless you’re video-ing, then forgive me) but what’ll the photos show? Nah, serious, I wanna know.

Detective Olivia Benson goes undercover when SVU returns Tuesday.

Just for this preview I’m almost willing to ignore the whole boyfriend thing. I wonder if Chris Meloni gave Hargitay pointers about how to look good while in a naked prison showe scene. The man has some first hand experience while doing Oz, and it was some fine ass acting job. *vbeg* Also, can you say Emmy episode?

Mariska Hargitay may be hot but Olivia Benson is HAWT. kthxbai.

Here’s a bonus vid… the Chris Meloni Oz shower scene *fans self* (also, NSFW)

I think the fella who writes headlines for The Star thinks he’s funny when he came up with this one:

“Number of obese growing bigger, says Liow”

p.s. – I hate The Star’s redesigned look with the embedded-ad-linkin-whateveryouwannacallit shit. It’s distracting…. and irksome. Fire your web sales and marketing people.

A comic that references both Mario Kart *and* C&H is auto feature on my blog.
