MOVE OVER COUSIN IT
Her lyrics suggest she believes that she was once lost, and now she is "found". Alanis' touchy-feely, Buddha inspired mumbo jumbo has gotten a little out of hand, and a lot phony. Never a fashion maven, the only thing this tragic pop star needs to find is a good hairdresser on Splendora.com. We could keep going but we'll stop here...moving on...
Goodbye 90210...hello Hollywood! It's obvious that Tiffani Amber Thiessen looks ready for her classique close up. She has finally shed her boppy, 'Saved by the Bell' leggings underneath a tier-ed acid wash jean skirt (halleluah!). Also, the trashy, all-boob Valerie look seems to be a thing of the past. Instead, Miss Tiffani has traded in the low cut shirts and bottle blond in favor of a sleek, of-the-moment style. Bravo Tiff!

COLD FEET, COLD DUCK
We tried to resist our low brow tendency to get sucked into the reality show "The Bachelor," but like a dieter in a doughnut shop we simply could not hold back. We indulged Mondays at 9p/8p c. We gossipped Tuesday (and Wed, Thur, etc). And last night, we shouted at the TV while Alex, the so-called eligible bachelor, who never missed a chance to mention that he graduated from Harvard and Stanford (apparently his only redeeming quality) gave "face time" to two hopeful bachelorettes vying for his hand in marriage.
Like every gal in America we asked ourselves: Why in the world would these women want to marry this dork with a mouth vaguely resembling a duck's? Was the experience similar to cheerleading tryouts where the overarching goal has more to do with being chosen then it does with being able to cheer one's team on to victory? For those of you, like us, who followed this absurd chronicle of canoodling and conniving [Alex to every girl: "I really think you're amazing but..." "If I had to pick tonight, I'd pick you ..."] here's some Splendora insight into 'The Bachelor.'
1. 'Reality TV Show' is an oxymoron. Reality goes out the window once the camera goes on.
2. Alex is billed a successful San Francisco consultant but everyone in the Bay Area knows that 'consultant' is usually a euphemism for 'unemployed.'
3. A savvy man will not waste his money on a ring from Harry Winston. For the same price, he could have gotten at least two extra carats from a diamond wholesaler.
4. The fact that Alex told Trista he would pick her, which resulted in her spending the night, did not go unnoticed.
5. We predict that Trista will be on the cover of Playboy within the year (we also hear that Howard Stern has a big crush on her).
6. After all that rigamarole, Alex didn't even propose! He just picked Amanda to move to SF so that he could date her. What kind of deal is that?
