Yes I’ve posted videos like this before. Yes, I’m obsessed with random dance routines in awkward public places, what of it? It’s hilarious! And that old man is really breaking it down. Does anybody want to start the DC Hammer Pants Dance brigade?

He looks normal, but he's sick.
The cats of Miami can peacefully take cat naps again, now that 18-year-old cat killer suspect Tyler Haines Weinman has been caught. Weinman was arrested and charged for the 19 serial cat killings that have been plaguing the area. What’s even worse is that the cats were mutilated as well. There have been 34 cat deaths in the area, but police were only allowed to connect 19 to serial killings. They are looking into the matter to see if there are accomplices.
I don’t even understand how a human being can do something like this. Remember Joseph Petcka? Well I think Tyler Haines Weinman has done more than enough to join him in the ranks of huge jerkfaces. According to the story on CNN, if he gets convicted on all counts, Weinman could face up to 158 years in state prison. Think that’s a little harsh? I don’t. And we all know he won’t end up serving the full term anyway.
“The cruelty of these crimes were horrific for the animal victims, but there were many human victims as well,” Mayor Paul Vrooman said.
“Let’s not forget the children and the families who found their pets mutilated. These awful scenes inflicted a human toll.”
I’m glad this monster has been caught.

This time, Chris is late! HA! But anyway, I love his diagnosis…it’s hilarious!
I’m not a doctor, but I’m going to stand by my diagnosis. Anyone that saw Wednesday night’s episode knows what I’m talking about here – and I, for one, am concerned. Reality TV judges are at risk. Specifically, the female judge sitting in the middle seat of any given seems to be vulnerable to Paula Abdul Syndrome or, as we in the medical blogging community call it, PAS.
The symptoms of PAS are clear: slurred speech; wild hand gestures; crying; etc… symptoms often prompt weird looks or agitated comments from judges sitting nearby on the panel.
[Please entertain a small digression. This is a plea to all judges sitting near a PAS victim. They can’t help it. And it should help you to know that even though we aren’t there with you, it is just as painful for all of us to watch at home. Try to show some compassion, and know that you’re not alone. /digression]
The cause of PAS is still unknown, but medical experts (I) have begun to narrow down the suspected causes. To do this, they (I) had to rely on photographic and video evidence, as an in-person study of someone infected with PAS may be unsafe – and the experts (I) don’t want to be responsible for causing a pandemic.
So far, PAS seems to have attacked only women, although its too early to say for sure. The location of the infected judge’s seat seems to play a role as well. There just seems to be something about that middle seat. (An odd cause, you say? Maybe, but have you ever sat in the middle seat for a long flight? That’s what I thought – and I hope you will think twice before questioning the medical experts (me) again…) This brings us to the cups. Enough said there, I think. The wild hand gestures are an unresolved question for the experts studying PAS. So far its unclear whether or not they contribute to the cause of PAS, or if they are a symptom. These certainly are scary times.
Mary’s struggle with PAS was borderline distracting; but here are some of the best numbers from the night…

Okay, okay. So this was supposed to be posted last week. EPIC FAIL on my part. Chris met his deadline, I didn’t do my end of the deal (I was in a wedding…excuses, excuses.). So let’s just consider it a refresher for last week in preparation for tonight!
I have decided that I have one year to get my dance moves up to par. I will be starring in Season 6. [Edit: Season 6 auditions have already started.] This week the Top 20 were named. I’m not saying that I anticipate making it that far when I make my SYTYCD debut. But I figure with a year of hard work I could score a ticket to Vegas. That’s good enough for me.
Wednesday night we were treated to two full hours of dancing mayhem – a sort of preview for the rest of the season. I’m crazy about Mia Michaels – and we got to see one of her routines. And in Thursday night’s episode saw the fangs come out. She had clearly been drinking out of Tyce’s “bitchy queen” water bottle. Her choreography, though, was – of course – great. I guess being a bitchy queen is one of the perks of being really super awesome at your job.
I really like this character Tony. His audition was pretty clever. Mia’s routine gave him such a difficult time that they made him try it again later in the day. This clip serves both the purpose of introducing you to Tony and showing off Mia’s stuff – cause I love her (even though I’m scared of her). A super efficient choice of YouTube clip, I know. You’re welcome.
My buddy Natalie was sent home – I think unfairly. And yes, I will be writing a letter (and you should too). We met her last season when it the top 20 came down to a head to head between her and her less cool roommate. Her roommate made it and she was sent home. Here’s here audition video from this season:
So we have our Top 20 for the summer. Now the fun begins with the good dancing and all that jazz. Congratulations SWTCTW, I hereby declare that summer has arrived!

You're holding a chicken? Seriously?
Last night I watched Bravo’s newest show, “Top Chef Masters”, fully expecting to see the always foxy Padma hosting. But no. There’s some new chick in town, and her name is Kelly Choi. Like Padma, she’s way too thin to be a food critic. EAT A FRIGGIN’ HAMBURGER… OR SEVEN. Honestly. There is such a disconnect between being rail thin and being a food critic. How on earth do they do it?
Kelly Choi seems a little wacky, so I did my research. She’s a model, duh. She hosts a show in NYC called “Eat Out, NY”. (Keep your dirty jokes to yourself.) SHE ALSO EATS RAW EGGS. And if you want to know more about her and all the other crazy things she eats every day, click here. She also drinks. A lot.
She did alright last night, but I’m still on Team Padma. What do you think of her?

Yup, former Girl Next Door Kendra is having a baby! She announced her pregnancy when she was asked why she didn’t participate in the champagne toast at her bridal shower. (Apparently, according to Perez, her mother and grandmother are pissed because they found out at the same time as everyone else…) Congratulations to Kendra and her hubby-to-be, Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett! Can you imagine? A baby bunny at Hef’s mansion, just coming to hang out and play. That would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “playmate”, would it not?

Yeah yeah yeah, this was SO last week. (Maybe you haven’t seen it?) But here it is anyway! It still makes me laugh, even though the second half is not nearly as funny as the first half. Enjoy!

Here’s a cute clip that’s been going around the Interwebs lately. What I love about it is how Sesame Street defines marriage as two people who hug and kiss, live together, love each other and are best friends. [Insert Bert and Ernie joke here. Ha!] Does that scare you, NOM? The Sesame Street definition is simple, and probably the best one I’ve ever heard. We are never too old to learn lessons from Sesame Street. Thank you, Jesse and Grover! (PS- How adorable is Jesse?!)

America’s obsession with the Gosselins is getting ridiculous. Today, one of the top Googled searches is for Kate Gosselin in a bikini and these pictures are flying around the Interwebs like craaaaaaaaazy. Normally, I’d be a little weirded out by that kind of Google search (because it’s usually done by pervy dudes who live in their parents’ basement). But this one, I kind of get. I mean, the lady has had eight kids. Sick curiousity makes you want to look. By the way, TMZ calls her haircut the reverse mullet. Agreed. I HATE IT.
Here is what she looked like preggo and before she became a teevee MOMster:
So here is what she looks like, five years later, in a bikini:
Ah the wonders of a tummy tuck and a personal trainer. I’ll admit it, she is a pretty sassy mama of eight. Minus the HIDEOUS hair and attitude. Kate Gosselin, I give you the obligatory RAWR.
