“Toddlers & Tiaras” returns with a Merry ‘Glitzmas’

December 6, 2011 Jeff Pfeiffer 1

By Beverly Foster Seinberg Let’s get one thing straight: Child beauty pageants, the stock-in-trade of TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras, are not about dressing up little girls like miniature call girls. OK, there was that one 3-year-old last season who wore an outfit modeled on Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, but most pageant outfits — including that one — are less revealing than what a little girl might wear for gymnastics or dance. That said, there is plenty in the kiddie “glitz” pageant culture to make you go, “Huh?” The fake teeth, hair, nails and tans. The expense. The omnipresent Pixy […]

November 16, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

The most talked-about movie at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, and the winner of the Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival, The Kids Are All Right is directed by Lisa Cholodenko (High Art, Laurel Canyon) from an original screenplay that she wrote with Stuart Blumberg (Keeping the Faith).

“The Goode Family” Recap: Pilot

May 27, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Stacey Harrison Beavis and Butt-Head has been off the air for more than a decade, but its influence can still be seen in creator Mike Judge’s work. For King of the Hill, he simply fine-tuned the redneck accent of the slacker duo’s crotchety neighbor, Mr. Anderson, and gave us Hank Hill. For his new project, The Goode Family, it’s hard to listen to the dulcet tones of main character Gerald Goode and not hear hippie New Age teacher Mr. Van Driessen. There’s also a nice symmetry with King of the Hill, which took a warm jab at small-town life […]

Project Runway — The Trendsetter Recap

December 6, 2007 Ruth Boulet Comments Off

by WindUpDoll I want the Project Runway perfume discussed at the top of this episode. Who wouldn’t want to smell like sweat, tears & Chinese food? Ok, I guess it depends on WHAT Chinese food. Is it Wong’s Wok fried rice with greasy gravy? Then no, I don’t want it. It’s time for the tedious model selection, but apparently only Jack gets to pick. He chooses to mess Ricky up and take his model. So Ricky doesn’t get to pick, he just gets Jack’s leavings. Back in the workroom, Tim and Nina are there to introduce the next challenge. With […]
