A-LISTS hollywood by tim parks The cast of D.C. has already had its fair share of drama
prior to its August 5 debut, as one of its Housewives, Mi- chaele Salahi (gesundheit!), crashed a White House State Dinner earlier this year. Oh dear, sounds like someone hasn’t listened to New York’s resident Countess, LuAnn De Lesseps, on her…um…hot track, “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” Apparently reality TV has adopted the real estate
mantra of “location, location, location,” as New Jersey and Miami seem to be where all of the action is. At some point, America’s love affair with The Garden
Jersey Shore The DOG DAYS of Summer TV
State will hit a wall, like George Michael out for a drive. Until then I guess it should come as no surprise (heavy emphasis on I guess) that MTV decided to move “Jersey Shore” to Florida…would it really still be considered the Jersey Shore? Anyhoo…Snooki, “The Situation,” Pauly D. and the rest of Cheetos-colored cast are back for more drinking, fighting, tanning, drinking, tanning, making out and more fist pumps than you’d see at a Leather Pride event! While another drinking/fighting series, “The Bad Girls
Club,” will up the roots of the show (and the ones from the girls’ hair featured on it) to Miami, which is funny because I thought that Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian had already taken it earlier this summer. I just can’t keep up with those Kardashians! Meanwhile, Jersey is still basking in the orange glow of
the spotlight with two inaugural series. Oxygen’s “Jersey Couture” follows a family run busi-
ness where every other cast member seems to have adopted the Jersey Shores kids’ knack for nicknames, I mean c’mon, its getting a little ridiculous that someone named Kimberly goes by “Kim” and Christina by “Chrissy.” It’s insanity, I tells ya! Hopefully, the E!/Style Network’s “Jerseylicious”
The Real L Word The Real Housewives of Washington D.C. Get Real Bravo is making gay viewers happy by continuing
their “Real Housewives” franchise and is delivering a one-two bitch slap with season two of New Jersey and the premiere of D.C. I was a little miffed with the powers-that-be at the
RuPaul’s Drag U 26 RAGE monthly | AUGUST 2010
network for making us wait an extra week to see the fight between Anne Heche (singing with a lesbian does not a lesbian make, k?), I mean Danielle Staub, Teresa Giudice, Jacqueline Laurita and daughter Ashley Holmes—and it only involved name calling and hair pulling! Hell, I could have just watched Jerry Springer for that kind of brawl!
won’t leave a bad taste in the mouths of its viewers being force fed more of the state. However, no summer would be complete without a helping of “Big Brother,” and this year there has been a gay guy (Ragan) and bisexual gal (Annie) vying for the cash money prize. Castmate Britney was super excited that there was “a flaming homosexual” in the game, so that they could chat about boys, shopping and Sex and the City (the series and the movies). Way to stereotype there, Britney, now I’m off to a slum-
ber party with my gal pals to talk about boys, shopping and Sex and the City…hey, wait a minute! Even though its summer, school is in session on LOGO’s
“RuPaul’s Drag U,” which brings back previous favorite contestants, and even Shannel, for a little bit of educa- tion for real women on how to become drag queens, so I take it Cher will make an appearance. Speaking of makeovers…”The L Word” has been re-
christened “The Real L Word” and follows the lives of six L.A. lesbians, and will conclude on the 15th with an episode revolving around going to Dinah Shore. Hmm, that’s queer.
