High School Reunion
Sadly another reality show is coming that I will be watching. Continuing the trend of Dallas being the Land of the Reality Contestant, TV Land’s new season of High School Reunion will feature alumni of my high school, J.J. Pearce.
This is the show where they take 20 people who graduated 20 years ago and put them in Hawaii and let them reconnect or apologize for past deeds. I saw an episode from a previous season and didn’t think much since the geek in school is now hot and the jocks and cheerleaders are still hot but are sorry for being assholes and bitches back then. They needed people that are still assholes for conflict.
Still, it will be interesting to see people from the school that Jessica Simpson went to. Sadly, they picked people that graduated in 1987. Since Pearce is a 3-year school, I won’t know any of them as I graduated in 1984.
The show premiers March 5.

Josie Davis, 35, the other, and cuter, sister from Charles in Charge
Kate Moss, 34, I might be in the minority, but I've always really liked her

Celebrity Apprentice
I can't believe I'm hooked on this show. I really don't watch reality shows and I can not stand Donald Trump. He stands for everything I am against. He is a bully who doesn't care what happens as long as he comes out on top and is the poster child of someone who no one would give the time of day if he wasn't rich.
But my fascination of celebrity meltdowns trumps my hatred of Trump. (sorry about that) Just like the early seasons of Surreal Life this mix of B-list celebrities make for fun tv. Tonight had some great scenes.
Hot Chicks Born Today
Sarah Shahi, 28, a DFW native first noticed last year on The Sopranos
Janet Jones, 48, very hot in The Flamingo Kid and I watched the awful A Chorus Line because she was in it
Pat Benatar, 55, I loved in when her videos were in heavy rotation on MTV, also loved her songs

- Ivanka getting bent out of shape when Gene Simmons slights her. O.K. he is a bit abrasive, but seeing a Trump spawn not have someone jump when she requests was too entertaining
- The lost irony when Omarosa questions Gene Simmons' integrity
- Omarosa getting emotionally involved in the guy's commercial when watching it in the boardroom. Didn't you watch The Godfather, "Never let someone outside the family know what you are thinking."

Twin Peaks
Do you watch the DVDs you own?
I have all of these DVDs and never seem to watch any of them. At least I've made the smart decision to quit buying so many. I probably made less than 10 purchases this year. The ones I did buy are films I really wanted to own and usually have extras I'm interested in seeing. Recent buys included the Stanley Kubrick set, the Sergio Leone set, and Twin Peaks.
I watched the first two Leone westerns the last week of the year, in prep for the midnight showing of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I own all of his films so I plan on going through them in order once (next being Once Upon a Time in the West) then again with commentary.
This weekend I began going through Twin Peaks. Now I'm a pilot and 2 episodes in and two things come to mind. The transfer looks amazing, especially when you compare with the log lady intros that have not been enhances. 2nd, I forgot how great the early part of this series was. So revolutionary for television in terms of story development, camera work, and tone.
It should be a pleasure revisiting this series, since I really haven't watched it since it was first on 18 years ago, and seeing all of the actors, who are now household names, at the beginning of their careers.
Hot Chicks Born Today
Rinko Kikuchi, 27, who can forget her role in Babel but I don't like her blond.
Gabrielle Reece, 38, a little overrated but still very hot.
Andrea Thompson, 48, I was a big fan of her in Babylon 5 and NYPD Blue but since then she has had a very strange career
