San Francisco Newsletter, March 10, 2006
| It's true, we're a
touch obsessed with Project Runway. As far as the season
finale is concerned, we loved Chloe's 13th piece, it
totally ruled. And while we're kinda sad that it's all over, at
least we have the Sopranos and Big Love to look
forward to. Until next season, we shall bid adieu to our Red Lobster lovers (scroll
down to see pic.) |

LOVE: Polygamy Loves Company
 Sunday nights are for ordering
pizza, drinking wine, and tuning into HBO. On Sunday, March 12th,
block an extra hour of TV time and kick back on the couch to watch
HBO's latest and greatest show, Big Love. Big Love has all of
the pinnings of a great series; a complex and bold storyline about
modern day polygamy, plus an all star cast of actors like Bill
Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny, Ginnifer Goodwin and
Harry Dean Stanton. How does a husband balance three wives among
their three adjoining houses? You\u2019ll just have to tune in to find
out. And you thought that the Fisher Family from Six Feet
Under was complicated.
WHEN: March 12, 10PM/9C,
following the Sopranos on HBO

| AFTER
THE PARTY, THERE'S THE AFTERPARTY
 We wholly expected the Oscars to
be a humdrum affair; after all, watching Hollywood pat itself on the
back for three-and-a-half hours doesn't make for electrifying
television. Which is precisely why we look forward to the Oscar
afterparties - sore losers mingle with glowing winners, B-listers
barrel in to stir up some trouble, and the abundance of booze lets
loose the inhibitions of your favorite stars. Unfortunately, besides
Steve-O's indecent exposure at one soiree (who let that joker in,
anyway?), there's little to report on. Some celebs' change of
costume reflected the ho-hum party scene: Naomi Watts traded in
Givenchy couture for a grandma cardigan and couch print dress,
Jessica Alba slipped out of slinky Versace and into a Donald Trump
boardroom-chic approved ensemble, and Keira Knightley chose to don a
black slip dress over her voluminous Vera Wang number (perhaps in
mourning for losing?). Bor-ING! It's Oscar night, people! Time for
boisterous antics, dizzy dancing, and a prime opportunity for stars
to get raucous and rowdy. No wonder the Golden Globes (complete with
bubbly on the tables during the awards) have been anointed
Hollywood's real "Party of the Year."

GIRL CAVALLERI
 Flashback to 2004: The OC's
runaway success suddenly had audiences captivated by the enigmatic
world of Orange County- a place notorious for sun, sand, beautiful
people, and botox. But who were the beauteous denizens of "the real
OC"? Was there a real life counterpart to TV's Marissa Cooper? And
if so, did she have a laconic, bored drawl too? Well, sort of. Her
name is Kristin Cavalleri, the breakout star of MTV's "reality
drama" Laguna Beach. Two years ago K.C.'s date nights usually
involved a stop at Pasta Pomodoro with hunky Steven, but these days
she's guaranteed a banquette at Koi cavorting with the likes of Nick
Lachey. Cavalleri is a bonafide star now, and to prove it, she's
landed the cover of US Weekly - sharing a space with and
stealing Simpson's signature over the shoulder pose. Oooohhhh snap!
And for what you ask? Mr. 98 Degrees took this underage honey on a
hot date. Or, they were merely entering Koi at the same time and the
pap caught them in the flashbulb crossfire. Either way, we're buying
what they're selling.
