Crush of the Day: Eric & Tami Taylor
What makes them so crush-worthy you ask? Aside from the fact that they’re a gorgeous couple, they’re just so damn believable!
They flirt, bicker, make-out in the kitchen, joke, support each other, sacrifice for each other, and completely adore one another. Even when Eric is occasionally relegated to the couch during a little tiff.
The characters are so well-written and Connie Britton (Tami) and Kyle Chandler (Eric) truly seem like a real couple with undeniable chemistry and absolute devotion. AND they finally both received Emmy nods for Best Leading Actor and Actress in a Drama.
Let’s just hope they both win. And I’m lucky enough to find a husband as great as Eric. Because I’m obviously as great as Tami….(ha!)
Grammy’s Change Rules Because of Lady Gaga!
Remember the ridiculous, arcane rule that the Grammy’s had last year that stated something along the lines of “If you had a single that was nominated in a category the year before, the artist cannot be a nominee in the Best New Artist category the following year?”
Well, I do. Because it was the reason my beloved Gaga wasn’t nominated for Best New Artistic in this year’s Grammys. And because of that Zac Brown Band won.
However, it looks like the people in charge of the Grammys have realized the error of their ways, and according to this ArtsBeat article, have changed the rule for future artists. Which is nice of them, no?
Now we just need the Academy Awards to change their rules stating that people who collaborate on a film score can’t be nominated. Karen O totally should have been a nominee for her Where the Wild Things Are score.

Crush of the Day: Anthony Bourdain
During my (hopefully brief) stint of unemployment, I have been watching a LOT of television, which has inspired me to create a new column: Crush of the Day. For my inaugural crush, I have chosen badass chef/writer/travel host, Anthony Bourdain.
The host of Travel Channel show, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations (which has been a marathon today leading up to the premiere of the new season tonight), Bourdain travels the world in search of awesome food and drink in seedy underbelly sorts of places, which is always my speed. To make this even more compelling, his show comes with a parental advisory warning because not only does he have a bit of a potty mouth, he also tends to make pretty hilarious sex jokes. As if that weren’t enough in and of itself, the man also has a penchant for making high literature references AND poking fun of Rachel Ray’s super perky food/travel franchise on an almost episodic basis.
All of that rolled together creates one very intriguing, grittily sexy, intelligent man that not only loves food and travel, but likes to get drunk and tell dirty jokes too. Need I say more?
Let’s Talk About: Piranha 3D Trailer
Okay. I HATE live fish. And beyond that I very much dislike this whole 3D thing that has Hollywood production companies in a tizzy. So, you would think that I would find everything about this trailer repulsive.
Au contraire, dear reader.
This is, in fact, one of the better trailers I’ve seen in awhile. It has blood. And screaming. And beer. And bass-line charged music. AND CHRISTOPHER LLOYD. And an Eli Roth cameo. And the requisite Jaws referencing. Everything about this looks hilarious and fun. Soo do yourself a favor and check out the trailer below. I promise that it’s worth it.
