From the fine folks in California who want to crucify illegal immigrants and also set up a Bear Patrol comes this: The plan: a California ballot initiative that would end public benefits for illegal immigrants, cut off welfare payments for their children and impose new rules for birth certificates. “We will be out in full […]

Your guest judge is Debbie Allen, and one can’t really have a truly negative opinion about Debbie Allen, so that’s good. Also, commercials for SYTYCD Canada! August 11, babeeee. Top five girls: Bollywood. The judges worshipped this, but honestly it wasn’t that great. Randi was obviously sloppy. Melissa was frequently off the beat and also […]

Jaime Weinman: “The thing that struck me most is that Mr. Weatherbee just seems to accept that once Betty has got a victim in her little school-approved torture chamber, it’s “too late” to stop her. Unless he’s just assuming that Veronica has already been suffocated to death and that Betty is trying to force the […]

Cat has short (or seriously tied-up) hair this week and she looks awesome! Your guest judge is Tasty Oreo, and that is… less awesome, but not as bad as one might think. Melissa and Ade: disco and waltz. Well, I was kind of waiting for Melissa and Ade to have a bad week, and this […]
