Happy Hump Day: Hunter Parrish

As crazy as it seemed at the time, the hubs and I decided to add a new show to our arsenal, Weeds. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Mary Louise Parker at Comic Con this past year and had only heard great things about the show. I have to say that I was not expecting the tone. It is so perfectly quirky and hysterical – right up my alley. I honestly do not know how I didn’t catch on earlier! Needless to say, the hubs and I are already caught up on Season 6 and terribly depressed that we now have to wait for Monday nights, just like everyone else, to catch a new episode. I’ve seen the Botwin boys grow up quickly throughout seasons due to our marathon watching and my, did Silas Botwin, played by Hunter Parrish, grow up nicely! The hunky 23-year-old hosts a comedic podcast Two Guys and a Girl and was the male lead in Broadway’s Spring Awakening in 2008. He also has a pretty active Twitter account where he seems to interact often with fans, but for now settle for a smokin’ pic spam!

Dexter is back on the kill!

The last minutes of Dexter‘s season finale was definitely one of the most shocking moments on television that has had fans thinking ever since. How will Dexter go on with such overwhelming guilt? What will happen to his seemingly “perfect” family: the perfect cover for his extracurricular activities? Will anyone finally discover his dark passenger?

It has definitely been a torturous wait for all us Dexter fans, but my great friends at Showtime have come to soothe over the pain with news that Dexter will be back with a new season starting September 26th! They have also come bearing gifts: one being the brand new key art featured above and a fun giveaway for all my readers!

The giveaway is for a Dexter Season 5 poster and it could be all yours by doing the following:

Please comment to this post with what you are looking forward to the most in this new season of Dexter.

The winner will be picked at random and announced on the blog a week from today on Tuesday, 9/21. Good luck to everyone!

The Year of the Kat is Here!

As of tonight, it is official: fall TV is back! And it will be lead by the season 2 premiere of The Vampire Diaries! This time around, we see quite the love square with the Salvatore brothers’ past lady love, Katherine, entering the picture to shake things up a bit. It should prove to be a pretty interesting season and I for one can’t wait to see how they address all the cliffhangers they tortured us with during the season 1 closer.

One thing is for sure: I have missed the hottest cast on TV in some time and am excited to have them back on my screen on a weekly basis. And I’m celebrating by inviting some of my friends that are fans of the show to a viewing party at our place! What do you guys think of the show? Are you doing anything fun and special for the premiere?

1. Cast of The Romantics for J. Crew

I’m sure some of you remember when I featured what I believe will be my new favorite movie, The Romantics, on Lovable Friday last month. Well, the very stylish and beautiful cast has been chosen to model J. Crew’s new fall fashion line. I think J. Crew’s modern yet classic aesthetic fits in perfectly with the young and hip actors from the film. My only complaint is…where’s Elijah? For more pictures from the shoot, click here!

My Emmy’s Recap

So I decided to skip Weekend Highlights this Monday and instead, bring to you what you are really interested in: what everyone was wearing at the Emmy’s last night! I love awards shows because not only do I get to see all my favorite actors in one spot, but I also get to lust over some beautiful gowns. And now, thanks to avidly watching Rachel Zoe on Bravo, I know how much blood, sweat and tears goes into selecting those gowns! So without further ado, here are my favorites and not so favorites from the night:

The ladies of Glee definitely knew it was their time to shine and boy, did they ever! Lea Michele looked absolutely gorgeous in her navy ruffled gown and the hilarious Jane Lynch could stop traffic in her plum, form-fitting one shoulder. Claire Danes looked like an Emmy herself in a sparkly, strapless sheath that perfectly complimented her platinum feathered locks. And finally, Anna Paquin doned on a fabulous Alexander McQueen number that was definitely designed with matadors in mind. Hot ones, that is.

It’s a shame because even though I am not a fan of the show, I think the ladies of Mad Men are absolutely stunning and they looked anything but on Emmy night. January Jones looked like her hair had gotten into a fight with a hair dryer and that dress in that color was just awful on her. Christina Hendricks wasn’t too far behind with her hairy frock in a dull and lifeless icy lavender. Poor funny ladies Tina Fey and Mindy Kaling also missed the fashion boat with their unappealing gothic ensembles. Better luck next time ladies!

Also, I’d just like to chime in that I adored the opening number (HURLEY! & Nina!) and that I was beyond disappointed that LOST did not win in one of their categories. I know there was a lot of controversy surrounding how they ended the last season, but you cannot deny the superb acting of all cast members and weight of the show in pop culture. I was not a happy camper. I was also not so pleased to see that Fringe wasn’t even nominated for any categories. What’s going on, people? I may be the only one, but I just do not see the appeal in Mad Men (yes, I have watched & couldn’t stomach any of the characters) and what the hell is Breaking Bad?

Feel free to chime in your own opinions of the night down below in the comments!

1. Chambord Vodka

Chambord is one of my favorite liqueurs to use for cocktails (& also one of my favorite bottles – so fancy & French!), so I was thrilled to hear that for the first time, Chambord was extending their brand to include Chambord flavored vodka. And top it off, it’s flippin’ PINK. PINK people. Do you know how many girlie drinks are in our future? Oh please, let Tropical Storm Earl sympathize with us South Floridians because I’d love to mix some up by our pool come Labor Day weekend!

Happy Hump Day: Matt Davis

It’s only fair that since I have featured the majority of the Vampire Diaries hotties, Matt Davis should have his time to shine on Hump Day as well. Matt is now well known for playing vampire hunting professor, Alaric Saltzman, on the show but before the vampire craze took the world by storm, he was in one of my favorite chick flicks, Legally Blonde. Yep, that’s right. He played the jerky ex-boyfriend! But jerk he is not. Matt often keeps in touch with his fans through his very active (and hysterical) Twitter account. Enjoy the man candy, ladies!

1. Rolling Stone True Blood Cover

It’s not rare to see hotties on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, but that didn’t stop me from literally gasping out loud when this month’s cover was released. Wowza! You have to give it up to True Blood, they know what their viewers want to see – or rather, what they don’t want to see: namely, clothes. Jennifer Aniston, eat your heart out!

1. Last LOST cast photo

DarkUFO just posted scans from the last issue of LOST magazine and they are both adorable and heartwrenching, at least for me, as a huge fan. The last episode pretty much wrecked me inside and out, especially when it came to the church scenes. I still can’t believe my favorite show is over. Sometimes I just really miss seeing their faces, it’s kind of pathetic, huh? But true. Nothing but love for my LOSTies!

Happy Hump Day: Jim Parsons

If you are a good geeky girl like me, you found yourself glued to the TV Monday nights (but Thursday nights starting 9/23) unable to stop grinning like a magpie while watching The Big Bang Theory. I can’t really tell you how hard this show makes me laugh and that’s mainly due to one of the show’s main nerdtastic characters, Sheldon Cooper, played by the adorably quirky Jim Parsons. And apparently I am not the only one who enjoys his performance as he has been nominated for an Emmy not once, but twice and I hope this time around, he gets it! So enjoy the picspam, fellow geek girls and may the force be with you!
