Oh, <strong>Cindy Brady</strong>. Showing up hungover (or still drunk?) to do a radio interview is kind of unprofessional. But the kicker is your 12-year-old son confirming it.

         <title>Good one, Watson</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sacha Baron Cohen</strong> and <strong>Will Ferrell</strong> were pretty great as rivals in <em>Talladega Nights</em>. Now they're set to be on the same team in a <strong>Sherlock Holmes</strong> comedy <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117988387.html?categoryid=13&cs=1">in the works</a>. Cohen will play the role of the master detective, while Ferrell plays his partner Watson. Should be plenty of good lines in that one.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Local dancers get the boot</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/archives/2008/07/01/DANCERS.jpg"><img alt="DANCERS.jpg" src="http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/archives/2008/07/01/DANCERS-thumb-350x303.jpg" width="350" height="303" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></a></span></p>

<p>OK, I'm really late in posting these results, but, hey, I had tons of stuff on my DVR to watch to get to the tragic results of last week's <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em>. The guy and gal who got the boot on the dancing competition were Flower Mound dancer Chelsea Traille and SMU student Chris Jarosz. Two of our four local dancers, gone in one fell swoop -- boo, hiss!</p>

<p>Actually, it's pretty clear why the hotsteppers were kicked off. Chelsea, while super-bubbly and full of energy, was a super-talented contemporary dancer who floundered at her recent jazz and quickstep routines. And poor Chris was <em>always </em>overshadowed by his flashy partner, local hiphopper Comfort Fedoke. Brit judge Nigel Lythgoe told Chris during auditions that he had the personality of a tree, and sadly, Chris never "branched out" of that designation.</p>

<p>Who are your faves on the show? Although Fort Worth dancer Joshua and his partner Katee have consistently wowed the judges from the get-go, oddball couple Chelsie and Mark are hot on their heels for the title of most consistently awesome dance pair. Check out their <a href="http://www.rickey.org/?p=8214">performance</a> from last week. One word: hawt!</p>

         <title>Are you watching this?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/archives/assets_c/2008/06/baby borrowers-thumb-300x321-thumb-200x214.jpg"><img alt="Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for baby borrowers.jpg" src="http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/archives/assets_c/2008/06/baby borrowers-thumb-300x321-thumb-200x214-thumb-350x214.jpg" width="350" height="214" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></a></span></p>

<p>That the sign above kind of looks like a crossroad just south of <em>Sesame Street </em>is, I think, no accident, because almost everyone on NBC's guilty pleasure summer reality show <em>The Baby Borrowers</em> acts like they were only watching <em>Sesame Street </em> just yesterday! I'm lovin' everything about <em>Borrowers</em>, though, from the bratty, naive teens who populate the cast to the network's ads that scream, "it's not TV, it's birth control!"</p>

<p><em>The Baby Borrowers </em>centers on five just-out-of-high school couples (two from Texas; should I be proud or ashamed?) who think they're ready to have a baby. In a novel experiment (actually, it's based on a British TV show), the kids are each given a lovely home to live in and will be forced to spend short stretches of time taking care of those who can't take care of themselves -- from borrowed infants on up to the elderly. </p>

<p>In last week's debut episode, the couples' relationships started breaking down faster than you could say, "pass the Pampers." (One girlfriend threw a royal hissyfit just because she was told she'd have to wear a get-up that simulated a pregnant belly.) These teens are far from ready to nurture a child, and in fact, some of these girlfriends have got tons of growing up to do themselves! I feel sorry for the guys -- not only do they have a baby to care for, they also spend lots of time soothing their tantrum-throwing girlfriends. Still, I'm gonna have a hoot every Wednesday watching these kids deal with toddlers, preteens, teens and senior citizens. Addictive!</p>

         <title>In awe of Angelina</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="ENTER MOVIE-WANTED 1 MCT.JPG" src="http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/ENTER%20MOVIE-WANTED%201%20MCT.JPG" width="256" height="170" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span></p>

<p>I saw <em><strong>Wanted </strong></em>over the weekend and really enjoyed it. It's kind of reminiscent of <em>Fight Club</em>, not so much in plot as in broad themes. In addition to some scripted laughs, I was entertained by a moviegoer a few rows up who, upon <strong>Angelina Jolie</strong>'s first appearance onscreen, blurted out, "Damn! Angelina Jolie's <em>sexy</em>!" Her sex appeal proved too much for him on subsequent occasions as well, as he couldn't contain himself from voicing his approval. </p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Verne Troyer</strong>, best known as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies, is <a href="http://www.zap2it.com/celebrities/news/zap-troyersextapesuit,0,2778394.story">suing TMZ.com over the release of a homemade sex tape</a>. The actor, who also appears in the recently released <em>The Love Guru</em>, says the tape was stolen, and he's seeking $20 million in damages. </p>

<p>For those who dare, a short clip that is not X-rated yet still has the potential to burn disturbing imagery into your memory for all eternity <a href="http://defamer.com/5019704/mini+me-sex-tape-conclusive-proof-that-our-civilization-is-doomed">can be found here</a>.</p>

<p>At his own concert last night in Washington State, country star Tim McGraw became part of the security detail! According to <em>People </em>magazine, McGraw saw a rowdy male concertgoer in the front row allegedly causing a ruckus and hitting a female fan, so McGraw at first called out for security. But then he took things into his own hands. Check it out ... you gotta love how after the melee, Tim just continues with the concert as if nothing happened. The show must go on, y'all ...</p>
