Here’s what you missed last week on the box: The Roast of Donald Trump

By Lindsay Burrill / Boston

By far, the funniest event on TV last week goes to the Roast of Donald Trump, hosted by Family Guy’s Seth McFarlane.  The usual roasters Jeffrey Ross, and Lisa Lampanelli were in attendance, but sadly Greg Giraldo was not. He passed away in September, but newby Anthony Jeselnik handled the job well.

Special guest roasters included Larry King, Snoop Dogg, Whitney Cummings, Mike Sorrentino, aka the Situation (yeah, he was invited for some strange reason, but I’ll get to his terrible performance in a minute) and Marlee Matlin (deaf actress, currently on celebrity apprentice).

This is “the most hardest thing” Snooki’s ever done

By Katie Kenny / Boston

There are two things people won’t want to admit.

One is that they watched Jersey Shore last Thursday (and every Thursday before that) and two, is they are really tempted to at least flip through the pages of the new issue of Rolling Stone which hit news stands the following day.

I am not the most frequent Rolling Stone reader but the last one I got had John Lennon on the cover with the lost passages from his last interview.

The next time I notice this iconic magazine is when I see the self proclaimed “meatball” straddling a rocket. Now I didn’t open it up so maybe the answer is inside and I’m just being ignorant but… what in the hell is Snooki doing on the freakin cover of Rolling Stone dressed as a hooker cowgirl riding a rocket of all things? If it’s because of a stupid metaphor or whatever I give up.

In the interview she explains the origins of her look saying, “while everyone else went emo or goth, I evolved into the guido lifestyle, with the tanning, the pouf high hair and the hot clothes, and everyone was like, ‘Oh, my God, you look so hot,’ stuff like that. It was sexy.”

I don’t think anyone said that, Snooks.

This isn’t the first time the Shore has graced the cover but who is she to be singled out? What has she done? Did she join the other useless reality stars and make a sex tape? Gross.

If you did watch the latest episode (and stayed awake through it) you might have had the same reaction I had: Snooki is the typical lonely and desperate drunk girl we all giggle at when it’s not our friend.

I feel bad for the girl most of the time. As much as she seems to be a nice (definitely trashy) girl, she is famous because she is stupid and annoying.

Sorry Snooks.

Monday Night TV Show Recap

By Lindsay Burrill / Boston

Hey party people,

To get you ready for your “stories” tonight here’s what you missed last Monday (if you were too busy watching Charlie Sheen unleash his Tigerblood secrets all over the world).

What Will Make You Laugh

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER-CBS, Mondays at 8 pm.

Sometimes I flip back and forth between this and House. However, this week How I Met Your Mother won the race. Now I realize the bachelor is also on at 8 pm, but there is a much funnier bachelor on TV and his name is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). This week’s episode was very worth watching as Barney explains his rules on dating..however all of those rules are immediately overlooked if the girl is hott (funny how that works). It’s a lighthearted comedy with some heavy perverse jokes.
