"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Dolly is a lesbian?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Aww, enablers. I love, y'all.

I also did not no that Dolly was a lesbian. I DID know, however, that she is made of awesome. I wonder if she'll sing something off her new album tomorrow.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Crap. Does that mean I'm going to have to watch tomorrow? (My AI is like the John H Natter Diet. I watch the performances, the wrap up with the clips at the end, and if I'm around, the end of the results show to see who's gone. 20-25 minutes per week, tops. Dolly is throwing this all the hell out of whack.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, who can prove who and who isn't gay. I shouldn't be spreading rumors. But there's been rumors about her and her friend Judy for a long time, rumors she doesn't really dispel by saying she fantasizes about women. She's been married to the same man for forty years though.

Okay, I'm officially annoyed with Gordon Ramsay. He's finally opening an LA restaurant (on my corner, no less) but he's sticking me with one of his Hell's Kitchen people as Executive Chef?

I am bitterly disappointed. Say it ain't so, Go.

Kristen,

from what I can tell, (from a where are they now article I read last year) the HK people aren't that involved with the restaurants they are working in as their "prize" for winning. And one person was given the gift of being mentored by Ramsay.

At first I looked at the article about David Cook and thought, "what a way to milk the press," but then I think about how much they have to prepare for in just a week, a live show. Poor dude. Even if he's a bit of a pretentious ass (I still like his singing, though), he doesn't need this kind of crap happening to him.

it's not just the stress of the show though. his brother, who has brain cancer, has had to start taking chemo and radiation after many years in remission. he and his brother are very close. that "AC" that he has on his guitar? it's his brother's initials and a way for him to show support to his brother without having to say a word. last night he had his initials monogrammed on the cuff of his shirt.

he's far from a pretentious ass and i really don't get where people get that or "smug". at ALL.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Brooke, my nemesis: Jolene's lyrics could not be more clear. Seriously. Same with "I'll be watching you." So why did you turn both into something poppy and boppy?

Yay! Someone else said it so I don't have to. See also her smiling all through "You're So Vain."

Poor David Cook. I like him. I hope him and his brother are all right.

Hell's Kitchen was an awful mess last night. I can't imagine even one of them running a restaurant. I can see putting a couple weird people in the competition for fun, but really all of them looked bad.
