[INTERVIEW'D] George From 9 By Design

Yo! Check it! Here is Part One of our exclusive interview with George Hribar, from Bravo TV's new hit show 9 By Design.

I watch a lot of TV...like A LOT. So I know what the fuck I'm talking about when it comes to "must see TV." And 9 By Design, Bravo's new reality TV show about Bob & Cortney Novogratz, their design firm Sixx Design, and their gigantic family was, hands down, my fave new reality show of the season. Even though there were only 6 eps in season one, I watched each and every one of them SO HARD...sometimes twice.

[DESIGN STAR RECAP] Episode 3: Symphony In the Name Of Design

Le sigh.

I swear to GAWD, HGTV, these team challenges are K-I-L-L-I-N-G us all softly...or loudly, as is the case when I'm screaming at my motherfucking TV the whole friggin time time.

This ep should have been called: Squiggly Lines, The Bitch Is Back. Cause spoiler alert after she reminds us that the "fawl from the top is a lawng way down": Nina wins ah-gain. a;sfljas;fdjslfjs;fjsdlfj!!

Why or how this keeps happening is a question for the ages, because the shit that she keeps doing is so beyond amateur, it makes that goddammned sunburst mirror from last week look like a Frank Lloyd Wright house.

[DESIGN STAR RECAP] Episode 2: Fashion Forward Room Design

Buckle your seatbelts kids, cause now that the goose feathers have been wet vac'd up, it was a good ole fashioned Dicks v. Chicks battle royale tonight on ep numero dos of Design Star!

Yaaaaaaay!

"Julie blew away like a feather." HA! Nice one, Michael.

Anyway, after the dust settles, all the designers scurry off to get their new assignment. Not before Nina takes a fire hose filled with bitch and soaks the shit out of everyone in the "Penthouse" though.

[Design on TV #3] 30 Rock

Design on TV is a new recurring column that allows TV fanatics to step into their favorite show's world by offering up a list of real-life items that will allow you to trick out your place in that show's signature fashion.  Some people call it "homage."  Some people call it "sick."  We call it "entertaining."

Design on TV #3: 30 Rock

When Tina Fey accepted an Emmy in the show's first year, she thanked her "dozens and dozens of viewers."  That's the kind of self-deprecation and irreverence that: 1.) makes everyone love Tina Fey and 2.) makes everyone love 30 Rock.

Everyone knows that 30 Rock is based on Tina Fey's own experiences as a writer on Saturday Night Live.  We follow Fey as Liz Lemon, head writer at TGS on NBC.  In the beginning, Lemon was often thwarted by her high-powered executive boss, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), but now they're buddies and they have the best boss/employee dialogue in the history of television (as in, "Hey, look at this video of a panda sneezing!  How adorable, right?  YOU HAVE TO FIRE 30% OF YOUR STAFF").  I could ramble on for hours about the hilarious hijinks of the folks over at 30 Rock, but let's just get to it.

[DESIGN STAR RECAP] Episode 1: The White Box Challenge

"Twelve of the MOST ACCOMPLISHED designers in the country are on their way to HGTV."

DUDEZ...if that shit is true, then also I am a supermodel, I ride my pet unicorn through the streets of Brooklyn, and Taco Bell is now good for you. Cause today must be opposite day.

Well, the premiere of Design Star happened last night, and I for one will never be looking at a fucking goose feather the same way again. I'll say this: the cast this year is hotter than its ever been before. EVERYONE is good looking...even the old dude. As for these mofos being the most talented and/or accomplished, Al Gore needs to start recounting that shit pronto.
