About last night...

Vivica continues to excel on Dancing with the Stars, but she needs to cut the dramatics. There's no need to break down into tears at every compliment or word of praise thrown her way. Also, the 1920's finger-waves were less "Dorothy Dandridge" than just plain old-school. I'd like to see Vivica update her look. Dressing and styling her hair in these old-fashioned styles only makes her look and appear older than she already is. I've seen Vivica rock the red carpet in some cute stuff, so I know she can pull it off. Emmitt Smith is still tops on my list - watching him waltz across the dance floor is like a breath of fresh air. My other two faves are Mario Lopez and Joe (umm...Joey) Lawrence.

Nip/Tuck was back on track last night. I was growing weary of all the ruminations and sexual identity crises. Things were very much back to normal. Julia was back to being the selfish mother she's known to be. I wasn't too pleased with her self-diagnosis of postpartum depression. It's a very serious condition, not to be taken lightly, but she seemed just to be looking for an excuse to pop some pills and ease her worries, while leaving her baby in a lurch. I was a bit spooked by the angel/devil scene with Sean, but it was great to see two enigmatic characters (Megan and Escobar) back, even for just a little while. I don't believe Michelle's story. I think there's more to it than she's letting on to Christian, but I knew he'd get the girl in the end. Christian always gets the girl. I was totally unprepared for Shari Noble's (played brilliantly by Melissa Gilbert) love affair with her dog. Yuck, yuck and triple yuck! She deserved to have her nipple bitten off for that. You really have to suspend reality when you're watching Nip/Tuck. For example, the male nurse (have we learned his name yet?) was painting that (hideous) mural on the wall while Conor was sleeping right underneath him in his crib. What about the chemicals and fumes? Hello...that's hazardous, but it didn't bother Julia or Sean. I think Liz's kidney harvesting experience will come to play full-force as the season progresses. How about a kidney stealer on the loose, as was last year's Carver? Stay tuned...
