Dear NBC,
Seriously.
What the H?
Despite reports, Brooke Shields says her NBC drama Lipstick Jungle hasn’t been scrapped.
“They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it’s not true,” she told reporters at Sunday’s Cookie magazine Kidsfest in NYC.
Please stop toying with me.
My glamour-lacking, stuck-in-the-house-most-of-the-day-working-from-home, can’t-afford-jimmy-choos lifestyle just CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I need characters to live vicariously through! Don’t you understand??!!?
That is all.
Thank you.
Ok, I know it’s no Sex & The City…
And, sure. It’s three girls instead of my girls…
And, maybe one of its main characters used to be on 90210…
But, WOE is me.
I just found out that NBC is canceling Lipstick Jungle.
MAN!! I was getting SO into it, too! I watched it a little bit at first, mostly just to feed the emptyness that’s been with me since Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha left me hangin’… And, it was, admittedly, slow going in the beginning. But, the end of last season was so good. And, this season has been even better so far. What gives?
They even had some serious eye-candy.
Sigh.
They better not EVEN be yanking it without telling me whether or not Joe proposes to Victory.
For reals.
Candace, do you have anything else up your sleeve? I’m showless here! Whatever you do, just promise me you won’t read Four Blondes.
Just trust me on this.

Hello? Food Network?
It’s me…
Christy.
I hope I’m not moving too fast…don’t get freaked out.
But, you…complete me.
…
A few months back I filled out a survey for Food Network. I’m a sucker for that sort of thing because I was a market researcher in my former life. Plus, I’m a reasearch / stats geek in general (enter: spreadsheet infatuation).
Anyway, I think the survey was a pop-up thing on their website? I’m not sure. But, apparently my female, 25-34 demographic added to how (freakin’!) much I watch the network combined to raise a red flag that they needed to get me on Some. Sort. of Panel. Immediately.
It’s actually really cool. Some of the survey topics are hilarious. They’ll email one every few weeks or so, and it’s always super Food Network’ed up. The email’s always from someone like their Chief Alarmingly Infatuated Paula Deen Fans Correspondent…or something…who makes me feel like I’m one of the family. And, when I think I can’t love them anymore, they offer me a free issue of their new magazine! Score!
See, they always have some sort of prize that you can win…like an Amazon gift card or some Food Network cookware or something…usually it’s really cool. And, even though they tell me the panel isn’t very big and my chances to win are very good, I’ve never won anything (typical of my luck with contests of any kind).
But, this time, everyone gets a free issue! Yay. I’ve been considering switching from my Rachael Ray subscription (even though I do love that magazine…and, if you have a bargain-hunting friend like my friend Jenn, you can usually find a wicked good deal) to the Food Network one anyway…just to try it out, but I didn’t know what to expect. But, now I will! Honestly, I doubt I’ll pay three times as much for the Food Network mag (I’m, at times, extremely cheap frugal), but who knows…stranger things have happened, I guess.
I’ll be sure to share any great recipes I find.
Rock on, Food Network. Just when I thought I couldn’t love you any more…
You sure know how to keep a gal hooked.
