What better way to kick off a 3 day weekend than a little Brad Paisley accompanying a montage of pictures of American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood?


Have a great 3 day weekend, everyone!

Miss South Carolina Caitlin Upton goes on the Today Show to discuss her "maps" answer.

She's really pretty when she's not all done up.

She got 4th place, even with that answer. Her redo answer? 'Twas ok. I guess it's better than talking about South Africa and Iraq.

Good job by her to step up and face the media instead of getting trampled or just writing an explanation on a blog. I love non-passive aggressive people.

For her going on the show, she gets the official hooray picture from DaveChung.com!

Yay Caitlin Upton!!

Normally, I would love Teen Beauty Pageants. I seem to have a soft spot for high maintenance, very bougie girls at times and I'm really not afraid to admit that (albeit it's a shallow soft spot).

But Miss Teen South Carolina just gives the most ridiculous answer to a question I have ever heard in my whole life and of course, YouTube is all over it.


All I'm wondering is, what the hell does South Africa have to do with the question? Let alone Asia...

Everyone knows that Asians know how to use maps. We're just not that good at driving to get where we want to go on the maps ;)

Hairspray Day

So I finally saw Hairspray, which I wanted to see because of So You Think You Can Dance.

Group performance to You Can't Stop The Beat

I have come to a few conclusions:
- Amanda Bynes is a dreamy girl.
- Zac Efron is a pretty good looking dude, not gonna lie. He deserves all the attention that the ladies give him before they say "OMG, Chris Hansen is going to come get me."
- Sometimes, there is too much singing in musicals. I wish that sometimes, they could just say things to each other. I was all about three or so songs in the movie, but a lot of them were overkill.

Amanda Bynes, you had me at "She's the Man."

Please read and comment on my Joss Stone write up for Billboard.com!

Even if you don't like reading, there's tons of hot pictures of Joss Stone and who doesn't love that?

Joss Stone at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, August 27, 2007.

The first time I saw Joss Stone, I thought she looked and sounded like the naughty (I think that is the first time I've ever said that word) version of Kelly Clarkson. Since making that first impression on me years ago, I came to realize that despite her age and absolutely stunning physical appearance (Joss, "you're hot, dude..." Words of wisdom courtesy of Jen from The Real World: Denver), Joss Stone is much more of an R&B/Soul artist than a pop music princess, to the point that I'd almost call her the anti-teeny bopper. While many males relish in bashing my music taste that is most easily defined as "music your little sister would like," not a single person had anything negative to say about me attending the 20 year old's show on Monday night. On a night where I finally discovered how to use the brightness settings on my enV correctly and took by far the hottest pictures (HOT!!) I have taken all summer, I became another of the many who kept professing to me, "Joss Stone is legit...and she's really hot."

Read the rest here and please don't forget to leave a comment!

In pictures, Joss Stone might not be as beautiful as let's say... a Carrie Underwood (but who is?).
But on stage, that girl is the definition of hot.


Profound thoughts, I know.

The sleeping with earplugs experiment is over, as I woke up at 3 AM today with both my earplugs in my hands, which I somehow accomplished and held onto while still being asleep. Something about that tells me that if I can do that while I'm sleeping, I really don't like them.

Saw Joss Stone. Saw The Hills. A successful night.Some people have said that on Billboard, I'm a pretty good writer, but a really crappy photographer (albeit with a camera phone). Tonight, I set out to prove them wrong and I think I succeeded!
Check out these pics I took tonight with my Billboard camera phone! I think I've finally mastered how to tweak it to make them come out good even when it's dark.

No longer am I a crappy camera phone photographer.

OMG, you better watch The Hills tonight.

But Lauren, my dreamy mcdreamerton, I'm going to the Joss Stone concert tonight for work! I'm going to get back so late!

So I know this guy, his name is Dave Chung and he claims that The Hills is his favorite TV show, but he freakin' misses my show for a stupid concert. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!

Ok ok, LC... I didn't know it meant that much to you. I'll watch it tonight and lose tons of sleep, ok? I'm sorry!

THANK you!

Today, Diddy finally "made the band."

You have to have this as the soundtrack for this post

The winners of Making the Band 4 were:
1) Robert
2) Brian A
3) Quanell
4) Willie
5) Mike

In an unexpected twist, Donnie got a solo deal on Bad Boy. White guy on Bad Boy? Let's just hope that Donnie finds more success than Kane.

Dream - This Is Me (Remix)

Forgot who Kane was? That's what I thought. He's the guy on the bridge.

Man, Melissa is hot.

Best of luck to the new "band!"

Apparently, Diddy is putting together a tour with the new band and Danity Kane - wherever, whenever, I'll be there now that all my favorites "made the band."

Please check out my Josh Groban concert blog for Billboard.com!

Josh Groban at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. August 25, 2007

After being told that I was set to cover the Josh Groban Awake tour on Saturday night, I couldn't wait. I told one of our bosses that I wouldn't miss the show for the world. I drove down to "The OC" (omg, hi Ryan and Marissa! Love your Dior sunglasses! And Ryan, your Hanes tank top is nice as well...), only to discover that neither ticket, nor press pass were awaiting me at the venue. While I did finagle my way into the press parking lot free of charge (I am getting way too good at bending the truth), somewhere along the joys of an email chain, I got lost in the shuffle. I was no longer "Dave Chung - Billboard blogger," I was just some guy who liked driving to arenas on a Saturday night. Regardless of disappointment and illness (so many boogies...), I knew I had to live up to my word and get in.

Sleeping experiment.

Tonight, I am going to sleep with earplugs in my ears. I bought this big box of earplugs for concerts because my eardrums have really been screaming for mercy lately, but I brought a pair inside so that I could do an experiment.

I figure that every night, car alarms, loud wind, honking, people being drunk and stupid, and more makes all of us wake up a little bit while we're sleeping. I am thinking that by wearing earplugs, I'll avoid these little wake ups that we never notice and I'll wake up feeling refreshed (and hopefully not as sick) tomorrow.

Results to come. Right now, I feel like a douche wearing these. If it works, I'll get used to it.

Tracking DaveChung.com's turtle-like growth: June 2007 vs. July 2007

I know that no one cares about this but me. However, since I do stuff like this all day at work, I figure it's a good way for me to keep my brain relatively sharp on the weekend. Additionally, I'm horribly ill and deliriously tired, so this seems like a good idea right now for some reason.

Ready? Here we go!

Basic Traffic Stats
July 2007
Total Visits: 4,602
Total Unique Visitors: 3,819 (I love you, 800 or so people who came back more than once last month!)
Page Views: 6,685
Average Page Views Per Visitor: 1.45
Average Time on Site: 4 minutes and 44 seconds
Bounce Rate: 75.99% (percent of people who go on the site for a few seconds and then bail, mostly the "Google Image Search" people who come in to steal my pictures)

Page Views: 3,145
Average Page Views Per Visitor: 1.44
Average Time on Site: 3 minutes and 54 seconds
Bounce Rate: 76.33%
New Visits: 77.52%

So traffic doubled from June 2007 to July 2007, in terms of both total visits and total unique visitors. It seems like the content I was posting was pretty much the same in terms of how engaging it was, but that in July, maybe people were watching more videos because stayed on the site for almost a minute longer on average.

I think this has become my official "Hooray!" picture

Surprisingly, Facebook fell out of the top 5 for July 2007, after it started out as one of the only ways I got traffic on here in the first place. However, when people come from Facebook in July 2007, on average, they are here for a really long time (almost 8 minutes!). When people came to the site from Google in July, average duration of each visit was 7 minutes and 22 seconds, so I'm happy that it looks like I have some interesting stuff on here for the masses!

With "Beef Curtains" fueling August 2007, it'll be interesting to see the stats at the end of this already personal-best breaking month.

Thanks to everyone who stopped in over the past couple months and continues to pop in. Who knew that I site that I made out of disappointment for not being able to finish out my academic career writing for the school newspaper on my terms would turn into something that I was so into? I definitely didn't.

As always, incredibly grateful for your guys' support and hope to keep the website "fresh" as we move on to its 9th month of existence!

The newest guilty pleasure... Newport Harbor.

This is one of the most frustrating shows I have ever seen, simply because main girl Chrissy can't have any fun because of her dad. Her teeth are really white and she has great hair, which keeps me watching, but I dunno how much longer I can take the phone calls and "Hi Daddy!!!"s that ruin her fun.

... and I thought it wasn't nice of Allie not to let Taylor come to her "Pretty in Pink" party...

...I will leave now...

I always find it very entertaining how our media gets focused on specific stories in waves.

For a bit, it was all about DUI's and young Hollywood spending time in prison (Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan). We even had a stint with Sidekicks getting hacked (Paris Hilton, Vida Guerra, allegedly). We toyed with a brief stint of professional athletes having baby's mommas (Tom Brady, Matt Leinart)

Don't look at me.

Now, thanks to Michael "Worst Video Game Cover Guy Ever" Vick, the new "in" topic is dogs and animal cruelty.

Now that Vick has been suspended without pay by the NFL and dropped from his endorsements, I think that for the first and only time in my life, I can say that I might make more money than him... even though the monthly interest on just one of his Swiss bank accounts is probably more than all the money I've made in my life.

On TMZ alone today, we have stories of DMX being possibly accused of animal cruelty again, Britney Spears (ugh, what a train wreck) being investigated by the SPCA after her dog had a cast on, and Cindy Crawford visits a "puppy prison."

The Michael Vick Experience would be one crappy ride right now. Instead of running through crowded stadiums, no doubt you'd be running from big guys in the shower.

I thought Stephon Marbury made an interesting point about this whole ordeal, saying that people don't get upset when people go out and hunt deer, but Michael Vick is getting the "smackdown" put down on him because this involves dogs.

"I think it's tough," Marbury said, according to Albany TV station Capital News 9. "I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors."

Marbury expanded on those comments in the statement.

"There is no list for which animals should be killed and which shouldn't. I love animals and none of them should be harmed However, we don't react the same when other animals are being killed for sport or the sake of human pleasure."

Even though Marbury took heat for his comments, I do find it interesting that hunting is acceptable when done for sport (not people who eat the animals, but people who kill them just to kill them) by people who are either very classy (rich) or people that have it just a part of their everyday lives. I would assume that most these people are White (I'm not trying to open that Pandora's Box, so hold on).

Yeaaaa, boiiiiiieeeeee..

When Maurice Clarett and Mike Williams were trying to enter the NFL draft early, people protested. They were two Black athletes, both around 20 years old, trying to make a living playing the sport they excelled at (Clarett has since seen better days). People got so upset about them trying to enter the draft early, despite the fact that 15 year old tennis players (a primarily "White" sport) and exceptional golfers (a primarily White and now, Asian sport) go pro whenever they feel like it and no one seems to care.

I understand the argument that football is a contact sport. I was closely involved with our program at USC for three years, but it's hard to ignore that there appear to be some double standards. I'm not here to say what's right and what's wrong, but it's just something to think about.

Anyways, as always, looking forward to the next trend in media.

Jordin Sparks' new single "Tattoo" hit the net today, a few days before it gets officially released on radio stations nationwide (even though Ryan Seacrest had it this morning, which is when I heard it).



On message boards, reviews are mixed. Some call it too poppy. Some call it too bland. Some call it generic.

But then, a lot of people like it. I'm in that camp. Jordin's vocals actually sound a lot more mature than I expected and I really like it. The lyrics are just there, but I think it's pretty catchy! It's not "A Moment Like This" (which I believe to be the best ever first "Idol single"), but I don't know what ever will be.

Best of luck to Jordin!

Blake Lewis signs record deal with 19 Recordings/ARISTA Records.

Do it big, Blake!

"American Idol finalist Blake Lewis is currently working on his debut album after signing with 19 Recordings/ARISTA Records. A diversity of producers, including Jonathan "JR" Rotem [Rihanna's "SOS"], chart-topping artist Sean Kingston, and S*A*M & Sluggo [Gym Class Heroes and Boys Like Girls], are currently working with the beat-boxing Washington native on the anticipated album.

Clive Davis, Chairman CEO of BMG Label Group said, "Blake has a strong music sensibility and knows who he is and what his music should represent." He continued, "His collaborators are all knocked out by him." Like American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, Blake has been balancing studio time with performing on the American Idols Live! tour. "I love performing, so spending the summer on the road has been a great experience," said Lewis. "But I'm also enjoying my time in the studio and I'm very excited about recording my debut album. I'm thrilled to be working with 19 Recordings and ARISTA Records."

Blake has already spent time on The Billboard Hot 100 with his takes on the Zombies' "Time of the Season" and Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name," and looks to expand upon his recent success with his full-length album. Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol and founder of 19 Entertainment Label group said of Blake, "He brought something new to the competition and won fans all over America. I know they're going to love his first album, because it shows him off as his very best." Blake's album is currently scheduled for a late 2007 release.

Check out our exclusive interview with Blake, where he speculates about the sound of his first album!"

Sundance Head and Sabrina Sloan to release duet album

(the bottom two heads in this very Brady square)

After signing with Universal Records Motown, season six contestants Sabrina Sloan and Sundance Head are teaming up to release an album featuring both of their talents. Sloan said, "I can't wait to get into the studio. Sundance is an amazing talent and it's funny that both of us joked about working together when we left the show on the same night and now here we are both signing on with Universal Records. We are thrilled!"

The Peter Collins-produced (Bon Jovi, Rush) album will contain a mix of new and classic material. In regards to the album’s duet format, Sloan said, "Singing duets was Jolene's [Cherry, senior VP of A&R at Universal Records Motown] idea. She felt that the combination of our soulful voices would make for an amazing album. We all met together to kick around the concept and now we're really excited about the direction of the record.” As the duo begins recording this month, the album is scheduled for a November 2007 release, with a solo album from Sloan slated to follow.

In the meantime, check out our exclusive Exit Interview with Sabrina and Sundance!

I'm really sick today, guys...

But according to Idol Stalker, Carrie Underwood is going to have a song featured on a country Christmas album!

So sick... like not Ne-Yo "So Sick," sweaty sick....

And of course, what would a day of video posting overkill be without some clips from The Hills.

Let's start with a classic.

"He's a sucky person! I hate Spencer. I'm never going to like Spencer"

The extended version... is that much better... Love me some LC.

And move forward to a new classic.

Light yellow? Ehhhhhhhhh

And people say summer TV sucks.

Kelly Clarkson performed on Canadian Idol tonight after mentoring the remaining contestants.

Apparently, video capture with high quality sound isn't popular in Canada, but it's still a cool video, even though Kelly's voice sounds a little hoarse.

What else am I listening to nowadays?

I recently proclaimed Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This" as one of the most beautiful ballads anyone will ever hear (ever) on Billboard.com. As a result, I continue listening to that.

Katharine McPhee is pretty.

Idolstalker has the full set of InStyle pics here.

So Small is so good!

A wonderful excuse to look at rotating images of Carrie Underwood for 4 minutes.

That wonderful site, AmericanIdol.com recently posted an article about the success of Carrie's newest single and you can find that here!

Very excited to see Marie' Digby next week in Hollywood.



As much as I can't get enough of her acoustic version of Rihanna's Umbrella, I'm really looking forward to hearing her original material to get more of a feel for who she is beyond awesome YouTube covers.

Makes Me Wonder


What I've Done

This is probably the most excited I've been about a show since Carrie Underwood and I've been to a crapload of shows this summer.

All of which can be found here!

Hey guys,

I made my AmericanIdol.com news section debut today. Check out my first contribution! Really excited about it!

Jordin's excited too!

Release dates announced for American Idol Jordin Sparks

While my weekend was overridden with concerts, I took a few hours to finally watch the phenomenon that has taken over the United States.

This phenomenon of course, is High School Musical.


And now, High School Musical 2.

Following the journeys of Gabriella

And Troy...

Why so squinty, Zac?

as they sing and dance their way through the trials of high school. I actually really liked the first one. I thought it was a great TV movie that could have been a real movie (but it probably made more money on TV and the ratings it gave Disney Channel) not just for the lil' tikes, but for anyone who enjoys a little song and dance in their day.

I wasn't so crazy about the second one, the music, or the solo dances. Really, the only great song in the second one was where Gabriella was all sad and singing that one song with tears in her eyes.

Gotta Go My Own Way... the best song in High School Musical 2... If you don't like it much, you probably won't like the movie.

The rest of it was just ok and there were too many parts where Troy was just dancing around by himself, especially on the golf course, where he would have been arrested and thought to have escaped from a mental facility by the way he was going off on his own.

The first one just had so many catchy songs and while I think Ashley Tisdale is great normally, I thought the first one had a lot more balance for all the characters.

OMG, yay!

Other than that, the second one was ok!

Did I really just do a blog post about High School Musical? Yes I did.

Hey guys, I checked out a great band by the name of Overnight Lows last night in Hollywood and posted a new concert blog up to Billboard.com. Make sure to check it out and leave a comment!

Overnight Lows in Hollywood, CA. August 17, 2007

Catapulting off the band's momentum stemming from its recent radio play on LA-area rock station giant KROQ, Overnight Lows performed a high energy set in front of an energetic SoCal audience on Friday night at the famed Knitting Factory. Underneath the familiar multicolored lights of the venue, the band's brand of uptempo, punk-sprinkled pop-rock was as energetic as it was contagious throughout the night. Boasting one of the most attractive female vocalists in rock music today in lead singer Jules Larson, Overnight Lows, whose music has been featured on numerous MTV programs, put together a night of consistently higher reaching highs for an audience that was reaching for more. By the end of the night, as the band continues to gain popularity throughout Southern California and beyond through radio play and their live performances, I couldn't help but think that I was witnessing the continued rise of something much bigger for Overnight Lows.

Carrie Underwood is the most beautiful woman on the planet.

Believe it.

Sabra wins So You Think You Can Dance.

Even though I've been on Team Lacey forever, congrats to Sabra.

What a great finale show filled with such great dances. I'm just happy we saw the Lauren/Pasha hip hop routine again. How many times did b-girl Sara have to go through wardrobe changes?? I was a little surprised that we didn't see much/any of Kameron and that no one asked to see a routine by him and Lacey.

Seeing as Lacey's line was busy for 2 hours straight on the West Coast last night, I thought she had a good shot of winning the loot and title. Alas, not all my competition/reality TV needs can be satisfied. Off to bed.

After the So You Think You Can Dance finale tonight, pretty much anyone deserves to win.

However, my heart lies with Lacey Schwimmer, the dreamy brunette with the beautiful eyeballs, despite strong performances from everyone tonight. I'm not going to comment on the Wade Robson mother and daughter fox routine, but I just feel like it took away one opportunity for Lacey and Sabra to really show off what they can do.

Lacey, your line has been busy for 20 minutes straight. I'll get at least one vote in tonight, because otherwise I'm not allowed to complain!

The new hotness.

RottenTomatoes.com has given Superbad a 96% (so far).

Superbad, Hairspray, and Bourne - 3 movies with great ratings that I haven't seen.

Casting has started for Jurassic Park IV, not that I saw Jurassic Park III.

Is that weird that this is the first image that comes up on Google Images when you search "Barney?"

According to Bloody-Digusting.com, "the film is about the government who has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes."

*crickets chirping*

Sounds incredible...

Nothing like raptors hopping around a kitchen looking to eat children, only to have them put a grenade pin in their mouth, spit it out, throw it 200 feet and yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!"

Wondering who did the acoustic version of Rihanna's "Umbrella" on the season premiere of The Hills?

Me too!

Word is that the performer was YouTube superstar Marie' Digby and that her version of the song is available on iTunes.



I know she's not Rihanna, but I still kind of want her to say "ohm-bur-ella" instead of "umbrella."

Mystery solved! Marie' is going to be performing in Hollywood on 8/31 and I'll be there!

Of course, Digby isn't the only one on the "Umbrella" cover train. As Mandy Moore recently joined in on the fun as well.

Ever wanted to see a really hot girl say "OMG, Daddy!" over and over on a semi-scripted reality TV show?

Meet Chrissy from MTV's Laguna Beach spinoff Newport Harbor!

Her dad is strict. She is hot.

MTV.com's bio for Chrissy is as follows:

Pretty and popular, Chrissy is a senior who grew up in Newport Beach and is lifelong friends with Sasha and Grant. An only child to doting parents, Chrissy has recently blossomed into a head-turning high school senior. As smart as she is beautiful, Chrissy has three colleges to pick from as she prepares to leave the family nest. While everything seems to be going her way, Chrissy longs for the one thing that has eluded her: a boyfriend. Now that the hottest guy in school a junior named Clay who also happens to be her neighbor has taken an interest in her, Chrissy appears headed for a storybook romance. Along the way she'll need to navigate roadblocks including an overprotective dad and rivals for Clay's affection.

Finally, a story all of us can relate to. I was surprised that show uses an identical intro to Laguna Beach, even down to the theme song and title screen. I actually thought the show and the characters were good enough to make me want to watch again, but if Chrissy's dad doesn't chill out a little bit, it's going to be tough for me to keep watching her miss out on "the hottest guy in school." Many of us saw the sneak preview after The Hills this week, but if you didn't, the show premieres (again) tonight @ 10:30 PM on MTV.

I don't think that I can watch both this and The Real World (even though Trisha is hot, though a bit abrasive), so we'll see what wins out.

TMZ reports that my beloved Lauren Conrad doesn't like working 5 days a week.

You'd think a dream internship at Teen Vogue, getting VIP treatment all over Hollywood and having your own show on MTV would make most girls happy -- not so Lauren Conrad of "The Hills." Need any brie with that whine?

The pouty F-lister [DC note: this is me making a sad face] dined at Da Silvano in New York City with new boss and co-star Whitney Port, along with two young bucks, some Vanity Fair editors ... and an entire MTV crew.

On-camera, LC's all big eyes and smiles, but a TMZ spy at Da Silvano last night said that once the cameras stopped rolling, L.C. was angst ridden, complaining about having to work "five days a week." Who does that?

Did someone forget to tell Lauren that her life -- swank dinners, bitchfighting, shopping, blah blah blah -- is her work?

Source

........I don't really know what to say to this.......

Since I'm on Team LC... It's hard for me to try and spin this....

But I will say, that if LC and I were dating, she wouldn't have to work five days a week... I would support us (by begging her architect father for money).

Restaurants are loud. They must have misheard her.

She was probably saying, "I love going to FIDM, having a wonderful internship, and building my career after moving to LA from Laguna. I also love going to DaveChung.com and reading his blog on Billboard.com because he is my biggest fan. I have an incredible work ethic and love my life."

Yeah...

YouTube high school football legend Noel Divine is finally going to be on a college field at West Virginia.

Kind of like Ted Ginn playing running back

I remember this first time I saw videos of Divine when he was a sophomore and if he can do anything close to this with the Mountaineers, we're in for a show.

I knew that one day, my single day website hit record would be broken. That day was yesterday, August 14, 2007 (a record that has since been broken today, August 15, 2007).

What prompted this breaking of records?

Of all things... it was beef curtains.

Of all the reasons why my website would one day break its own record for popularity in a day, I never thought it would be a derogatory nickname for my favorite Hollywood celebrity, Lauren Conrad. I thought it might be an editorial I wrote, or perhaps a YouTube video I made. But no... just beef curtains.

So if you came here looking for answers, know that you're not alone and know that UrbanDictionary.com has your back.

So in honor of this record breaking day (even though the record is broken again as we speak), we continue tracking the keyword searches that bring visitors to DaveChung.com, which has apparently become an authority on beef curtain news.

And people thought reality TV was dead... If it's dead, beef curtains and people searching for pictures of Hell's Kitchen's Bonnie Muirhead are bringing it back to life.

Could whip up a tasty dish called beef curtains if asked.

With Lacey Schwimmer in the So You Think You Can Dance finale, I can't help but wonder if her repetitive and very "ok" solos are going to be good enough to beat the competition. Clearly, in couples, Lacey is unreal and her partners get voted off because she looks like she's that much better than them, even when they're doing well.

I don't just love Lacey because she's a hot White woman dating an Asian... but it doesn't hurt.
Let's review Lacey's solos...

Pretty good. Scary scream.

Who am I kidding? She had me at hello. I'm on Team Lacey's Hot Tamale train.

And so ends the greatest night in reality television history...



Lauren and Pasha Week 6
Uploaded by mickeymcc

As predicted, resident hottie #2 Lauren and Pasha (no nickname, not really crazy about the guy) said goodbye on So You Think You Can Dance

My man, Rock, becomes the new HNIC (to steal a phrase from Professor Todd Boyd's book from my CTCS 464 class) by winning Hell's Kitchen. That's my dawg.

LC may have topped "HE'S A SUCKY PERSON!!!" with "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!!" on the one hour Season Premiere of The Hills.

Newport Harbor is premiering right now on MTV as well, but I think I'm TV-ed out at this point.

Best night in reality TV history? I think so.

With big high fives to fellow The Hills superfans Recovering Sorority Girl and my homey Natasha for sharing my over the top enthusiasm for tonight's premiere, LC and friends did not disappoint.

Whitney made her crazy faces (and anyone who played The Hills drinking game got wasted). Lauren got really mad (she's so fly when she's pissed, but I don't really like drunk Lauren). They acknowledged the sex tape rumors. Audrina created moments of awkward silence by not responding when spoken to (and dated a weird looking guy who wasn't nice to Lo and LC...I'm guessing he's rich, which would clearly make him a good catch). Playboy Spence and Brody are still rich. And LC even spent some time back in Laguna, looking pensively out at the crashing waves, much like she did back in the Laguna Beach days. Heidi had huge boobs magically. Jen Bunney made an appearance. Brody Jenner continued being the coolest man on the planet. And Audrina's co-worker had some enormous knockers! Someone got the memo that MTV was taping that day...

EDIT: Many thanks to Natasha for reminding me that Whitney dropped the best line in TV history, "W...T...F..." last night.

All in all, an hour of great TV.

If there was anything disappointing, it was the opening of the show, which was a little less fun without the "Lauren covers his mouth joyfully upon opening the door to her new apartment" part. Luckily, they kept the part where the model snaps her head back with the music and put in a good new part where Lauren motions over to Audrina with her finger. They should do an opening with just crazy Whitney faces - instant ratings!

Apparently, Lauren now dances as well. I'm actually pretty excited for Jason Wahler's return as well. Hopefully, it's not all "party Lauren" all the time because I kind of liked "sit at home and play with my Blackberry Lauren" last year. And her hair looks great.

It's good to be Brody Jenner.

Nice condo. A few make out sessions with Lauren Conrad. Tons of money.

Champagne all over your face like you're in a Gatorade commercial.

It's good to be a Jenner.

In honor of tonight's So You Think You Can Dance results show and my personal favorite dancer Lacey Schwimmer, I wanted to post this YouTube compilation of Lacey and Kameron moments from earlier this season.

Poppiest soundtrack ever.

Unfortunately, Kameron got completed exposed and booted after he and Lacey were forced to part ways as a couple earlier this season. Lacey's still going strong, despite questionable solo performances in recent weeks. Seeing as Sabra's line was actually busy this week, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time Lacey ends up in the "danger zone," but I can't see her leaving before Asian wannabe (wtf?..but I guess it's kind of cool) and "other" hottie Lauren.

Lacey, you fly.

Donezo!

Kind of a Free DVR with ads. Kind of not. Time Warner set to launch "Look Back."With Look Back, customers will be able to watch shows that have aired before midnight, like customers who pay an additional fee to have a DVR. However, the feature will be limited to same day viewing and there will be no ability to skip through commercials.

Seeing as I miss about 3 or 4 shows at a time and then sit through my own self-created marathon on many a weekend morning, this isn't for me. However, if you're a regular cable customer on the conglomerate that is Time Warner, this is pretty cool!

Christmas comes on August 13, 2007 - The Hills: Season 3 Premieres on MTV.

Whatchoo know 'bout that? ... and Audrina's boob looks really huge!

Season 3 premieres tonight @ 10PM!

Hooray!

If you're having a The Hills viewing party (as everyone should), my blogger homey Recovering Sorority Girl has come with a pretty brilliant drinking game for Monday's premiere. Who wouldn't give their hypothetical "left nut" to be at that viewing party?

Heidi Montag and her toilet paper shirt will be watching!

"OMFG, when does The Hills start??"

Kristin Cavallari and her extensions will be watching!

A four year old picture of me with one enormous nostril will be watching!
Rambo will be watching!

Enjoy the show tonight and of course, "feel the rain on your skin!"

Will Lauren be introduced as Lauren/"LC"/"Beef Curtains?"

Will it be revealed that Spencer is indeed a vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Who knows! But it will be on tonight and it will be amazing.
