90210: The Boy Is Mine

This week's episode of 90210 opened with a very racy dream! Poor Naomi. So hard to wake up after a fantasy like that.

From dreams to harsh realities, Jim reveals himself! Then the writers deliver this amazing dialogue: Jim enters and Jane says, "Jim!" and Liam follows with, "You're alive." Wow, really profound. Anyone else think it was weird that Jim and Jane were just walking, arms around each other on the beach? Back from the dead, back to normal. Yeah, sure, of course.

Spotted: Halloween Headband

When I was little I loved Halloween. I grew up in a big Victorian and it was perfect for spook-a-fying. Every year I would go crazy covering the front porch in cob webs, hanging skeletons, I even found a doormat that screamed when you stepped on it.

The decor wasn't enough. My family and I hosted an annual black and orange dinner, pre-trick or treating. It started out as things like black bean soup, macaroni and cheese, carrots sticks and oreos, but each year we got more creative.

Gossip Girl: Who's Your Daddy?

Tonight's episode of Gossip Girl had me laughing right out of the gate. First Blair threatens Dorota, "Hang or up I'll tell the reporter you're undocumented!" Followed by Dan trying to win over Chuck with a dog, "You felt nothing after 'Field of Dreams', so I'm taking it to the next level."

Listen: Courtney Richmond

One of my best Boston gal pals (you can read her blog, Red Sox Runner, here) has a younger sister with a killer voice. I had always heard about trips my friend was making to watch her sister perform, but I'd never heard her for myself until last night.

Ladies and gentleman, meet Courtney Richmond.

Spotted: Michelle Williams On Vogue

A few months ago I read that Michelle Williams would be starring as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn" a film about the icon's life. I made a mental note to see it when it hits theaters.

Last week when I got the most recent issue of Vogue magazine, I was thrilled to see Michelle on the cover as Marilyn! The photo spread inside is stunning.

Grey's Anatomy: Men At Work

Tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy was narrated by the men, which shock of shocks, I loved. For me, the outstanding performance of the night goes to Dr. Webber. Not only was he taking gentle care of his deteriorating wife, but he lent a hand to all the residents and attendings. When he asked the scrub nurse if she still had his playlist, I just about died of laughter. I was equally amused when he screamed at Karev, "Those grapes are not for snacking!"

Shop: Heel Condoms

I will be the first to admit I'm a total prude. Dirty jokes repulse me, when I see people kissing on the subway I cringe and the mention of the word porn makes me nauseous. When my friend and fellow blogger (read her personal blog here and her movie review blog here) sent me an email encouraging me to check out an accessory called "heel condoms" I shuddered. When I clicked the link and saw that some of these accessories looked like latex, I was even more freaked out.

Read: Catching Fire & Mockingjay

Last week I shared with you my obsession with "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins (read the review here). Though I managed to write that post without giving away any plot developments, I am now finding it impossible to review the next two books in the series without ruining it for interested readers. So with that I say, SPOILER ALERT!

Gossip Girl: Expecting

This week on Gossip Girl, Blair's pregnancy cover is blown. Now Dorota, Dan and Louis' sister are all in on the secret.

Speaking of Louis' sister, she put on quite a performance this episode! I can't believe she's hooking up with the priest! I am eager to see how she tries to dethrone Louis.

I am totally over the Diana (Elizabeth Hurley)/Nate story line. I'm just not buying it.
