Tessa Takes the Lead

On last night's bachelor, Andy Baldwin spent a group date with Amber, Bevin, Tina and Danielle assessing their "mom" quotient and their "community" factor as they did charity work creating a playground for an elementary school. Toiling soil, painting hopscotch boards and assembling tricycles and big wheels these gals did their best to paint themselves as the perfect mother to Andy's unborn children.

In a heart to heart talk Bevin confesses to Amber that it is makes her sick that someone who is 23 could be up against her mature-dness of 28 in the fight to win Andy. I mean, my GOSH, those ages are like night and day! In her 5 year advantage Bevin is INFINITELY more mature than AMber (as exhibited in this very scene)... NOT! God Lord, Bevin, you're TWENTY-EIGHT, not FORTY-EIGHT! GOI!

In one of the one-on-one dates, jeez, i cant remember her name, the 'other' stephanie i think, could barely form a sentence when Andy asked her about her career, dreams and future. Uhhhhhhhhh.... next!

Meanwhile, in the cliche "Pretty Woman" reinactment, Tessa received the one-on-one date complete with two million in diamonds and a stop off at Nicole Miller for a dress fitting of a princess before having a romantic date with Andy full throttle woo-ing her. I think this might actually be a first in Bachelor history that we've seen a bachelor CHASE a contestant. Nice going, Tessa.

so, at night's end Tina and Stephanie left the castle, rose-less and Andy-less.

This Diva predicts a showdown between Bevin and Tessa. And my ultimate Bachelor Finale prediction pegs Tessa as the one to win Andy's heart.

Diva 4 will be back for more,

Idol Gives Back and a Diva Celeb Sighting

The Idol Gives Back show aired tonite with the focus on charity more than singing. Kudos for AI for using their super powers for good! To find out how you can help, visit Idol Gives Back.

I was grateful to not have to watch a another romper-roomish Ford commercial featuring the contestants. I TOTALLY agree with Diva 1 - Simon looked HOT! Seeing him be nice to poor children kind of made him half human.

My ears must need to be cleaned because I had the opposite reaction to every contestant than the judges. I LIKED Blake - they hated him. I thought Chris hit some blatantly off-key notes - they loved him. Ditto for Jordin, she sounded shaky and off to me and they loved her.

I DID like Phil this week - 1st time. Lakisha and Melinda didnt wow me. And again, I agree with D1, Paula was a little wack-a-doodle comparing Fantasia to Celine and Maria. (please do not interpret this as I like Celine - I don't!!)

Now that Sanjaya is gone I don't really care who goes home.. I think it's anyone's game at this point.

Meanwhile, Diva 3, who has been delinquent in posting, had dinner at the table next to my absolute FAVE singer of the moment, Corinne Bailey Rae and her entourage, at a fave UWS eatery known for yummy lychee mist martinis! Good think I wasnt there, I might have asked her to put her records on and sing...especially after a martini or ten.

on another reality note, Bachelor Andy Baldwin did a pretty good job of sending home the "crazies" on last nite's Bachelor. Bye-bye to Stephanie Kansas and her fake hooters, brunette who made funny faces and tall blonde chic whose name escapes me. Amber staying was a surprise to me. I don't like her. But clearly Andy does. Bevin's whining about her foot is tiresome. So far my bets are on Tessa, time will tell. Andy seems nice and all but he's got pointier and harder tits than Simon or me.

don't even get me started on 'Dancing with the Stars.' You know how I know that show's gay? a 40 yr old virgin told me!

Officer and a Gentlemen New Bachelor Begins

The new bachelor premiered this week featuring 30 year old Lt. Andy Baldwin, triathelete, doctor and officer. As far as bachelors go Andy might be the most decent gent they've featured yet. And for being such a good guy, I was surprised at the bad lot of women he was given. I was largely unimpressed by most of them, but one of those 25 women will be proposed to by the end of the bachelor season. as they say, it only takes one.

ABC is having a field day with the "officer and a gentlemen" tagline and all the bravado that comes with it. Not sure if it was Andy's car or not, but Lt. Andy Baldwin arrives at the bachelor castle in a Lambergini like batman in the gotham city! The first episode, as per the course, consisted of 50 hugs (25 women x hello hug + goodbye hug), 25 cheek kisses, 25 whats your name exchanges, 1 really bad joke about a muffin, 1 corny fortune cookie recited, 3 blunt approaches to the rose on the tray and countless pleasantries about nothing.

This season has some of the same bachelor ingredients we've come to know and love: the dejected and bitter first nite send-homer, the foretelling of a woman obsessed - (ie. ambulance shot), cat fights, drunken stoopers, fake tits and tacky dresses. it also added some new ingredients to the mix: singing contestants better than american idol's Sanjaya (not a stretch), gymnastics, baking with alcohol, and patriotism.

I'll give Andy this, by the time the first rose ceremony took place he did a fairly good job of weeding out the riff-raff. I'm grateful for the fact that i do not have to see the woman OCD body builder with the enormously large eyes and mouth on camera again....she got more of her share of camera time as they cut to her after every single rose was handed out. i swore i wouldnt get sucked into another bachelor but here i go again!
