Yo Gabba Gabba Fresh Beat Mash-up!!!!!

Set your DVRs. Not only is there a new episode of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" (praise Muno!) but the Fresh Beats are going to be on it.

I know.

Athena is FREAKING out too. This might be as big of a deal as the Fresh Beat Band episode that was a take on the Wizard of Oz. We watched it no less than 652 times. (Don't tell her, but we bought her tickets to their concert this summer for her and her sister's birthdays.)

The network says:
"Get ready to boogie down with your preschooler’s favorite rock stars when Yo Gabba Gabba! meets The Fresh Beat Band in the new epic musical adventure ‘Yo! Fresh Beats Go Gabba Gabba!’ premiering Friday, June 8, 11:30/10:30c on NICK. Can you handle this much fun?"

(This picture alone has them climbing all over the keyboard right now. alksdjhfaiewuhfikdh)

Anti-Breastfeeding Dialogue on TV Irks Me

Funny enough, I was sitting on the couch breastfeeding Zofia while Louis was watching TV. He was watching The League on FX, (Season 2 Episode 11 to be exact) and I was only vaguely paying attention. A woman enters a restaurant scene with her baby and joins her husband and another couple at the table. They comment that there's a kids' menu, she declines and begins breastfeeding the baby.

Cue disgusted faces all around.

This is then followed by a scene in which the husband is lamenting to his buddies that his wife is still breastfeeding, he doesn't get to play with her boobs, and he's afraid his kid is going to be "weird." He fears that someday she's going to be squirting breastmilk in the boy's mouth from the dugout while he's playing baseball. All the men loudly concur that this activity is madness and shout the famous "If he can ask for it, he's too old for it!"

Um, the baby is only 19 months old. Most organizations agree that breastfeeding should continue beyond a year.

They continue on with different characters being disgusted by the child's breastfeeding and end the show with the baby latching on to a man's breast.

I don't care if this was done for comedy. It wasn't funny.
I don't care if this show is geared toward men. My husband is my biggest breastfeeding supporter as ALL father's should be.

I'm tired of the negative portrayals. I'm tired of the "Booby Traps." It needs to STOP.

I'm sure the producers of "The League" and the execs at FX couldn't possibly care less about me boycotting their show, but movements start with one.

My New Year's Eve is all wrapped up like a gift




3PM BBC America


Your two favorite crazy Brits, Eddie and Patsy, are launching their New Year's Eve celebration early by popping open a bottle of champagne and uncorking a six episode marathon featuring the wildest most hilarious Ab Fab moments. Cheers, darling!


I'm so excited I can't breathe.

This is common enough to have its own series???





"I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant is a compelling documentary special that explores the fascinating and utterly surprising phenomenon of women who were completely unaware that they were pregnant...until they went into labor!"


I could imagine it MAYBE happening to SOMEONE, but this many???? I've been watching this and it absolutely blows my mind.


Here's what I pictured in my head:


Me: "Hey Ky (Two Pretzels), you're looking a little thick in the middle."

Ky: "Yeah, I kinda noticed that as well. Must be all the Jif."

Me: "Totally. Let's go to the bar."

Ky: "Just TRY to stop me."

Good for Her


Britney sweeps at otherwise tame VMAs (AP)

I was really hoping to see her perform, but I'm just happy to see her looking so well. Who else can bomb that bad, come back next year and get a standing ovation just for opening her mouth? Just Britney, bitch.

Beyond that I thought it was super boring... or maybe I've just gotten too old.

America's Next Top Model is...


Whitney? Really? The plus-sized girl beat out the Eastern European Beauty? While I'm beyond jazzed for her, do you think this was genuine, a stunt, or their way of trying to help revolutionize the modeling industry one healthy girl at a time?

Hell's Kitchen


I'm SO EXCITED for Chef to be back! Oh how I miss him when he's gone!


Dominic the stay at home dad got the boot.


From ''Hell's Kitchen'': Reheated So here's your menu of contestants:
Rosann Receptionist in a law office. Very Melanie Griffith in Working Girl, if Melanie Griffith were rail-thin and brunette and had the personality of a character from a Tracey Ullman sketch about New York City receptionists. Signature dish: spicy mussel soup that was ''not too bad.''
Vanessa Line cook who believes this is her destiny. Referred to as ''Hannah Montana'' by Rosann. Signature dish: pan-seared halibut that was the best of the day.
Craig Sous chef who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and showed up wearing an absurd chef's toque thing that Ramsay, implying it was a substitute for Craig's manhood, made Craig take off. At this point, I did believe Craig was going to cry. Signature dish: Chilean-sea-bass risotto, deemed a ''pile of s---.''
Bobby Executive chef. Self-proclaimed ''black Gordon Ramsay.'' Obsessed with generals, being a general, who is and isn't a general. Possibly insane, so check that box on your ''Reality-Show Contestants and Race: Stereotypes on Parade'' scorecard if you'd like. Signature dish: deep-fried Hawaiian butterfish that Ramsay called ''lazy.'' Oh, no. Does that mean two checkmarks?
Jen Line cook who makes tooting noises and claims she can carve Chef Ramsay's face in a watermelon. Appears generally capable. Signature dish: crab risotto with raw rice.
Corey ''Simple, plain, blond, and boring.''
Jason Sous chef. Addicted to nicotine and misogyny. Would almost certainly lose to women each and every day in an ''I'm Not Bald, How 'Bout You?'' competition.
Shayna Caterer. Burns things.
Matt Sous chef, a self-described ''true culinary.'' Holds the outstanding honor of being the first contestant in HK history to make Chef Ramsay puke, courtesy of his signature dish: venison tartare, scallops, caviar, white chocolate. Oh, and capers.
Dominic Stay-at-home dad. Signature dish: chicken cacciatore, deemed ''boring.''
Petrozza Catering director who stuffed a hen in a pumpkin. ''Oh, f--- me'' indeed.
Sharon Room-service chef. Wears heels and makeup, and she ''don't think there's nothing wrong with that.'' Jen nicknames her Barbie, comments on her ''knockers.'' And I hate to side with the obvious on this one, but come on: ''room-service chef''? Please do not force me to sit here and come up with 36 dirty puns involving the phrase amuse-bouche. Ah, poop. Too late.
Ben Electrician. ''Not bad.'' I concur. He can scoot his boots in my kitchen any day, if you know what I mean. And I think you do, Sharon.
Christina Student. Meh.
Louross Hotel cook and part-time toilet brush. Sudden burst of bossiness combined with overly fussy hair reminiscent of a significantly less fierce Christian Siriano.

The Moment of Truth


Has anyone watched Fox's controversial quiz show The Moment of Truth? Do you think that it's despicable, or do these people know fully what they're potentially getting themselves into? It was like a car crash that I couldn't stop staring at. These people are actually destroying their marriages for a chance to win $500,000!
