| The 7 Best Instances of Doppelganger Sex Posted: 07 Jul 2011 11:33 AM PDT The current arc on All My Children (what? I was watching One Tree Hll reruns on SoapNet!) has Susan Lucci playing Erica Kane and her devious double, with the evil twin recently sleeping with Erica’s man. This is by no means the first time that fiendish doppelgangers have seduced their lookalikes’ men, because screwing the boyfriend/lover/husband is the best way to screw over your goody-two-shoes double. Faith/Buffy – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “Who Are You”
This is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, where Faith (Eliza Dushku) switches bodies with Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and sends her opponent to jail (in Faith’s body) while she goes out to enjoy Sunnydale. Surprisingly, no one is able to discern that this isn’t the real Buffy, despite her dark lipstick, penchant for leather, and open mockery of Willow and Tara’s relationship. (This could be because Faith’s behavior is close to the moments of darkness Buffy’s experienced over the years.) Faith is fascinated with playing the good girl, especially where it comes to Buffy’s relationships: In a great scene she details for Spike how hot the sex between the two of them would be, only to retract her offer by saying, “It would be wrong.” That doesn’t stop her, however, from going after Buffy’s boyfriend Riley. This scene gets me every time; she wants him to basically tear Buffy apart, and he wants to make love to her — something that Faith could never be comfortable with. (If you have a Hulu Plus membership, you can watch the episode here.) Related posts: Post from: Crushable The 7 Best Instances of Doppelganger Sex |
| ‘Modern Family’ to Get a New Baby Lily Posted: 07 Jul 2011 11:03 AM PDT
Now that we’re getting a new actress aged 3-4 to play her, Lily will be like any other sitcom toddler, picking up off-color words and screaming them during funerals, taking older children’s beloved pets and caring for them in ways that prove deadly, giggling at the pain of others. With Modern Family’s solid track record of great writing I’m sure they’ll make it work, but with two dad’s that dress as clowns and scale drain pipes wearing spidey suits, what the Cam-Mitchell household really needed was a straight man, and for the last two seasons, they had two.

| Video: ‘Hairspray’ Meets ‘Harry Potter’ With ‘Good Morning Voldemort’ Posted: 07 Jul 2011 10:56 AM PDT What would you get if you crossed the opening number of Hairspray with Harry Potter? This chick, who looks like she could be Head Cheerleader of Slytherin House, singing an ode to Voldemort to the tune of “Good Morning Baltimore.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable Video: ‘Hairspray’ Meets ‘Harry Potter’ With ‘Good Morning Voldemort’ |

| ‘Who Is the Worst Driver in the Netherlands’ Show Answers Its Own Question Posted: 07 Jul 2011 10:35 AM PDT A reality show in the Netherlands showcasing truly terrible drivers (titled Who Is the Worst Driver in the Netherlands?) really outdid itself this time. A driver named Pim ran down the host Ruben Nicolai and a cameraman while he was trying to perform a routine driving test. Luckily Pim won’t get the chance to terrorize any other pedestrians because he’s had his license revoked. Also, Mr. Nicolai will be okay. Let’s hope they’re not planning a followup show called Who’s The Worst Shot in the Netherlands?

| Gallery: Jon Hamm Is Every Emoticon! Posted: 07 Jul 2011 10:37 AM PDT Emotions with Jon Hamm is our new favorite blog. It’s pretty much what you think it is: Jon Hamm expressing emotions. And what we’ve realized by perusing it is that Jon is essentially a human emoticon! Who knew faces could approximate keyboards so closely? Hey Hamm? Poker, our house, 8 P.M. Bring you absurdly expressive face. Related posts: Post from: Crushable Gallery: Jon Hamm Is Every Emoticon! |
| Fan Fiction: New Spinoffs of ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ Posted: 07 Jul 2011 09:58 AM PDT
Say Yes to the Dress: Doggie Ringbearers When Kleinfelds opens its new Animal Boutique, they start outfitting dogs and the occasional rambunctious cat or ferret in mini-tuxes so that they can be part of Mommy and Daddy’s wedding too. Watch dogs start crying when Diane finds them the perfect cummerbund to hide their problem areas! Say Yes to the Dress: Angry Bridesmaids Capitalizing on the success of Bridesmaids and Angry Birds, this show combines the best elements of both. Bridesmaids select dresses by using slingshots to lob themselves into piles of ugly dresses and destroying them. Say Yes to the Dress: Drunken Aunts If your Great-Aunt Viola is determined to spill champagne down the front of her dress at the reception, she can now choose from an entire collection of Pnina Tornai corset-fairy dresses made of special quick-dry sheer fabric. Say Yes to the Dress: Portland For the bride who’s more IndieBride.com than TheKnot.com, Kleinfelds’ new Oregon outpost is staffed with consultants who know their vegan-cotton dresses from their vegetarian-cotton dresses and specialize in two-for-one deals on dresses for lesbian weddings. Say Yes to the Dress: The Groom’s Ex-Girlfriend It’s the most important day of your life: the day that asshole marries the slut he dumped you for. Kleinfelds’ consultants will help you find the hottest, most revealing This Is What You’re Missing dress in the store and then cue in some “dress ripping” noises for full effect when you try it on.

Best romantic strategist: Mandi Most of the new Fresh Meat people are indistinguishable to me except for Fucking Kenny, but Mandi is endearing herself to me by choosing CT over Wes as boyfriend material. Both guys are roidheads with rage issues, but CT was a much better boyfriend to Diem than Wes was to Johanna, and he’s a better strategic pick since he can kick the crap out of every other person in the house. Wes put a giant swan in her bed, CT removed it. Who would you choose? Person who most belongs on an old-school Challenge: Mike At the beginning of the episode, Mike entertains everybody by dressing up as Tyler and doing an impersonation. It reminds me of the old Battle of the Seasons when the cast got rained in for a couple of days and they had a toga party costume contest. I miss when the off-time on Challenges was for goofing around and being funny instead of having drunk sex and getting in fights. And now I feel old. Most overinflated sense of self: Paula As I said earlier, the Paula/Ev pairing is one of my favorites this season, and I think they’re the girls’ team to beat. But Paula gives a really annoying voiceover about how people walk up to her on the street and ask her why she hasn’t won a Challenge yet and tries to make it sound like she’s some kind of celebrity. It is possible that that happens, but nobody on this show should ever claim to have “a public” or “fans.” Worst strategist: Wes I love how brilliant Wes thinks he is. On a typical Challenge, Wes usually is one of the better players, but he is scared of CT and it shows. He tries to pit Adam and CT against each other, telling each that the other one is their weak link. Here’s the thing he isn’t understanding: CT wants to win more than he hates Adam, and these two are communicating on this challenge. When Wes tries to talk to CT, CT says that he’s there for the money and the longer he stays around the more he wins – which, that’s why everyone is there, and Wes is an idiot to think it’s all about some nonexistent honor code when everybody’s just there to win money so they don’t have to ever get a real job. Best threat: CT “I am going to eat your face off!” – CT to Wes (Spoiler alert: he does.) Best strategist: Cara Maria Cara Maria may hate her partner, Laurel, but she seems to understand that they have to communicate with each other or else. Laurel does not seem to have gotten the message, though. Also, did Cara Maria and Abe get back together? I heard a rumor that they did, but since he’s not on this Challenge we’re probably not going to hear anything about it. Best commercial: Trojan It’s about time someone realized how perfect this show is for contraceptive ads. And considering that Magnums got a free shoutout from Tyler last week, maybe somebody in the Trojan marketing department saw an opportunity. Nicely played! It’s not quite up to the awesomeness level of those NuvaRing ads that sometimes come on during 19 Kids and Counting, but nothing ever will be.

I’ve always seen Ella and Jaden Hiller , the twins who play the adorable Lily on Modern Family, as kind of tiny Asian Kristen Stewarts.They can blink at all the craziness going on around them, but don’t expect them to emote. Go on, look through every shot of Lily, and find a look of anger as she’s dressed as a mini Chita Rivera, or amusement at one of the many self inflicted injuries her dads sustain. Really, these twins have already mastered what took nearly twenty years for the Olsen twins to perfect- the vacant stare. Any pre-verbal tot can smile as Uncle Jesse gets into one of his wacky binds, but it takes a true actress to gaze up at him with a look of pure ennui.
The hugely popular TLC show Say Yes to the Dress has already launched several spinoffs, including an Atlanta edition and a show focusing on plus-sized brides, the terribly named Big Bliss. It’s clear that the network wants to monetize this franchise, if their slate of new fall spinoffs is any indication.
Welcome to The Challenge: Rivals or, as a fellow old-school Real World/Road Rules Challenge friend of mine calls it “That show with all those annoying new people and CT.” We’re three episodes in, but not all the contestants have figured out that this whole “work with your worst enemy” thing is the conceit of the whole season and not a practical joke. This is why they need to bring back the spelling bee and trivia game challenges, because I love watching this brain trust have to break a sweat.
