Christian Siriano says what everyone’s thinking [hee!]

Dear little Christian Siriano put his well-heeled foot in it when asked why the gay community puts up with drag queens:

If you think of heterosexuals, they have white-trash women and trailer parks, and we have drag queens and trannies. I don’t know if I’m the one who can explain it. It’s, like, drag queens are just there. These answers are hard!

Ha! Of course Christian said sorry after some drag queens and trannies got their panties in a bunch, but the apology was about as genuine as the curt smiles he would offer Project Runway judges when they awarded victory in challenges to someone other than him.

OLD-MAN FIIIIIGHT! [Battlestar Galactica – Sine Qua Non]

‘Sine Qua Non’ can be likened to a bad dream – emphasis on bad. Every season has a clunker or two (last year’s included the inscrutable ‘The Woman King’), and this week’s patchy instalment proves the rule holds true for season four.

Travis out of the house [Big Brother]

… for now, anyway. (I’m actually relieved Travis isn’t gone for good – a reaction that makes me feel a little weird, like when you idly try on a pair of sunglasses thinking they’ll look rubbish but they unexpectedly look a bit cool). Per the official site:

Early [Friday] evening Travis was accidently [sic] squirted in the eye with Shower Gel [sic, again – why is “shower gel” capitalised?] by Ben. Immediately after the incident, Ben assisted Travis in washing out his eye with water. Travis went on and competed in FNL but complained that his eye was  sore and he was feeling unwell.

The Big Brother house doctor was called to attend to Travis, and he recommended that Travis go to hospital to be treated and as a precaution, he stayed there overnight.

Behind Big Brother reveals that Ben “accidently” squirted Travis in the eye with Shower Gel after accidentally ambushing him in the bathroom with accidental assistance from Nobbi and Rory during a prank they accidentally played. Accidents do happen!

I didn’t think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows [The Simpsons]

Um… what?:

“They’re not tentacles, they’re gentacles!” [Futurama]

The latest Futurama trailer (Deathball is a nice touch):

Time-travelling bunnies [Lost – There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 and 3]

In last year’s Lost finale I didn’t twig till the very last minute that Jack was actually having his grizzly-bearded breakdown in the future, not the past, but everyone else in the world seemingly picked that from the get-go and I felt slow, eh.

This year it happened again: I did not see that final scene coming… but I don’t think anyone else did, either. Surely no one who wasn’t making wild silly guesses about the outcome could have picked the ultimate twist. Seriously: W. T. F?!

The private life of Chuck Bass [Gossip Girl]

Gawker has dug up a veritable buttload of pics depicting Gossip Girl‘s Ed Westwick – aka the oily Chuck Bass – goofing around with his friends (including his ridiculously pretty co-star Chace Crawford, like, even if you’re not into pretty guys you have to admit he’s darn pretty).

Shockingly, it turns out the urge to take goofy drunken pictures of yourself is universal.

It’s dead. Get over it. [WTF?]

Jericho diehards have reached an all-new level of desperation, mounting a huge billboard on an LA street spruiking a “TV show for sale – network needed”.

I think the fans, buoyed by the success of their “Nuts” campaign, are taking the old cliche “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” a little too literally.

Clay Aiken’s makin’ babies [WTF?]

Clay Aiken is reportedly going to be a daddy.

The “I have a kid” kind of daddy, not the other kind.

He knocked up his producer via artificial insemination.

This guy:

Yeah.

Ricki-Lee’s hands are Idol playthings [Australian Idol]

Shut up, I’m sure I’m not the only hack who’ll use a cheesy Idol/idle pun to title a story about Ricki-Lee’s ascension to Australian Idol host:

The 22-year-old singer will be supporting Andrew G and James Mathison in a bid to freshen up the show’s format.

The singer said the program approached her and she jumped at the idea and she was looking forward to offering support and advice to the next would-be stars.

“I have been through what these guys [contestants] will go through and come out the other end,” Coulter said. “I would have loved to have someone that I could go to with questions when I was in there… You go into Idol wanting to win, but I think I am a prime example that winning is not the end,” she smiles.

This year’s crop of wannabes will be chuffed when Ricki-Lee shares her insights on what it’s like to have an album that went all the way to number 30 in the ARIA charts.
