Odds and Ends

If you’re one of those people who shell out an extra twelve or twenty bucks a month for premium cable channels and find yourself sitting at home tomorrow night, you’ve got choices:

You can finally bust out that plate o’ carbs you’ve secretly been hoarding under your bed and watch The Sopranos on HBO at 9:00, which finally returns after a monstrously ridiculous hiatus. Jersey would be nothing without the meat shop, the waste management and the mangia.

And just when you’ve become completely desensitized, flip over to SHOWTIME at 10:00 for a different kind of mangia to catch the third to last episode of The L Word's third (and unfortunately, not final) season. Don’t forget to bid a heartbreaking adios to Dana Fairbanks, who will finally be heading off to that big tennis camp in the sky. Boooo.

In other news, Cycle 6 of America’s Next Top Model is scary. Too bad the house they live in can't win. Pop Whore has hope for Nnenna, Sara, Joanie and Molly Sue. Jade, for the love of all that is holy, please shut the fuck up and go away...

Nick brought it to my attention that the Sadie girl we keep reading about on The OC is being played by none other than Nikki Reed. Just goes to show you how into that show we are. Kudos and all, but it's going to take a lot more (read: her "Thirteen" counterpart) to get us watching that show again.

And finally: Veronica Mars. Wednesday. Blessed be.

Even if Kristin Cavallari is on it...
