I’ve been waiting on 2009 for just two reasons:

My DVR is taking care of American Idol tonight so I can watch The Biggest Loser and Real Housewives of Orange County (feel free to judge). I just can’t believe I haven’t seen a new episode of Lost since May. I can’t wait to see what happens next week when it returns.
Awards season has also arrived. I was in Atlanta this weekend and watched the Golden Globes with my parents. They live in Dallas and don’t have to wait weeks for all of the award-worthy movies to come to a nearby theater. I, on the other hand, may not see Slumdog Millionaire until it comes to DVD. There are a few award-worthy movies in Columbia and I have plans to see at least four movies over the long weekend.
And I hate to say something negative about Blake Lively because I am a Gossip Girl fan, but how on Earth did People.com put her on their Best Dressed list from Sunday night’s Golden Globes?
This dress is at least one size too small. And her body is amazing. Who let her wear this dress?
And here’s my favorite dress. I have a soft spot for ladies that can pull of yellow so beautifully. Christina Applegate looks stunning.

I am in TV crazy land with American Idol, The Biggest Loser and The Real Housewives (yep, people can judge me too – I love trash tv in the winter!!)
And yes, poor Blake Lively – seriously her stylist (or whoever) should be fired!!
I’m so excited for Lost next week. I will spending this weekend on the couch after our pre-marital class catching up from last season!
And ssshhh….I love Housewives, but only Orange County Housewives.
I agree on Blake!!! I love her and the show but that dress was not all that fab. And it was way too tight!! I can not wait for LOST!!! It’s going to be great!
i love the houswives as well. the OC girls are probably my favorite.
can’t wait to see LOST next week either.

I was thinking the same thing about Blake Lively. Last night, I also noted that she was slouching too… that girl needs to stand up straight! She may not have felt confident in that dress… who knows 🙂
Love the yellow!
I work in Beverly Hills, so happened to be grabbing lunch the day after the GG and saw Blake Lively crossing the street. She is tiny and the dress just doesnt do her justice! I agree completely with your analysis.
I’m so excited for American Idol… One of the best parts of late winter!! yay for tivo!
Omg. THANK YOU. YES! The blue dress. What was that?!?!? Terribly unflattering.
Yay for DVR — I recently figured mine out for my Bachelor nights. 🙂
I absolutely can’t wait for Lost! I’m not as hooked on Idol (I get hooked later in the season) but have tons of other trash tv shows to watch 🙂
I watch the Real Housewives of Orange County too! They’re by far my favorite, Atlanta and NYC housewives aren’t as interesting.
Your thoughts on Blake and Christina are spot on. I’m not a fan of the shoes on Blake either, they don’t quite work somehow. I looove Christina’s dress. She looks like a modern day Belle from Beauty and The Beast!
I can’t wait to see Lost!!!
One of my best friends was pretty much foaming at the mouth to watch AI tonight! Funny. And yes, the dress looks a tad small & goofy, which is really too bad.
that is so fun about the veil!! i looooove WB – I can’t wait to go back at the end of January for my first fitting!!!
and oh, Christina Applegate – I love her! so adorable!
Tuesday nights are so crazy with all the good TV!! I have AI on my DVR, am watching Biggest Loser (FAVE) and am sooo looking forward to this week of RHOOC! Can’t wait to see if Gretchen really goes off with Tamara’s son!
I agree, the dress was horrid! I am SO glad you LOVE AI too! I have been waiting for it to return and am watching as I type. I hope the theme nights are fabulous this year!!
Wow. Christina Applegate looked nothing like Al Bundy’s daughter, did she? The “golden” yellow was just beautiful.
I agree about Blake Lively. Love her, but that dress was too tight!
DITTO about Blake Lively…seriously it is even wrinkled it’s so tight!!!!!
I’m ready for A.I. too! Love it. So did you find anything or buy anything good at market? Do tell!
Then you’ll have a soft spot for me 🙂 I love yellow and fortunately wear it well. And I love the HW of Orange county. No judgement here. I watch Gossip Girl too. Talk about trashy entertainement.
I am so excited for LOST. I was in Australia for last season and it sucked not being able to watch with my usual Lost partner (my sister). Can’t wait!
We are TV friends!!!
I love blake but toally agree about the dress! I haven’t watched american idol since kelly clarkson but I plan to watch this season. I watched it tonight. um the girl in the bikini!? c’mon!! ew.
I can’t wait for Lost…and I have to admit I’m a Real Housewives fan too. I’ve seen all the cities, but the OC is my favorite.
I don’t judge, I want to discuss these pressing television matters amongst ourselves!
I have The Real Housewives DVR’ed and cannot waiiiit until Friday to watch them!
Hope you’re doing well!
That yellow dress is just stunning. It is exactly what I would want to wear if I ever got the chance to walk down the red carpet. I just love Christina…I think she is such a beautiful and strong woman!
I’m a Lostie too! I didn’t know you were a fan and can’t wait!!! I thought the same thing about Blake – I mean, they could have taken it out just a bit! Loved the yellow! I loved how everyone wore cream or white. Really was impressed with Demi Moore. I hated what Tina Fey wore. I loved Eva Mandes’ necklace – but could have done without the poof on her dress!
Blake was on a worst-dressed list somewhere else that I saw. I like the dress, if it were the right size!
I was excited about 2009 TV too, especially American Idol and The Biggest Loser! Love it! I am a Blake Lively fan and love watching GG but seriously who let her wear that dress?! Did People not see the same dress we did?
I only got to watch a little American Idol because we started watching Wall-e, but I like the new season so far 🙂 Also, I agree about Blake Lively and Cristina Applegate. The first was not great and the second was stunning 🙂
My DVR is so full I have to watch it all tonight to catch up! I have a slight addiction to reality tv. I’m with you on the first dress,s he has a great body but someone squeezed her into that dress about 5 minutes before the red carpet!
In general I don’t think Blake Lively is very well dressed. She looks great as Serena but she usually fails me on the red carpet.
Love the yellow dress! I was upset when I saw it on a worst dress list.
