He's blinging like a rock star.

The eight-time golden boy Michael Phelps made a splash in Beijing's Water Cube.
He's still enjoying the spotlight and TV stations are sill hoping that an appearance from him will boost ratings.

Phelps will hand out a Moonman at the MTV VMAs Sept. 7.

He'll host the Sept. 13 premiere of SNL on NBC. The hottest name in hip-hop right now Lil Wayne will be the musical guest.

He will even guest star on "Entourage." I searched IMDB for an upcoming "Aquaman" movie role, but as of now there isn't one in the works.

Saturn Vue style

The 10 remaining designers took to the rooftops of New York City like a dysfunctional version of Santa's reindeer.
No, the roof was not on fire, it was full of shiny Saturn hybrid vehicles. Isn't it a coincidence that that the winning PR designer gets a Saturn and all the past designers star in those cheesy Saturn ads during commercial breaks? No. We are well aware that Bravo has perfected the art of the shameless plug.
The challenge, which actually seemed like a challenge, was for the designers to use car materials to create an ensemble.

I hoped that when the Olympics ended, so would my lazy days of laying on the couch for three hours straight in the evening. It's not my style to veg.

But after dinner and a few chores last night, I found myself back on the couch watching "America's Toughest Jobs."

What is wrong with me? What force is sucking me into silly prime time TV?

Are you feeling fierce?

It's tranny time! (I had actually been looking forward to "Project Runway" all week for the first time in a while.) Wednesday's episode was everything I could have hoped for plus glitter, feathers, sparkles and neon fabric.
The episode started with season 4 contestant Chris March entering in a blonde, big-chested Viking ensemble. Hotness.
Out strutted the drag queens, who took a few minutes to properly introduce themselves. With names like Anita Greenkard, Hedda Lettuce, Farrah Moans and Miss Understood, the ladies were ready to rock the runway.
The designers were told to be theatrical and over-the-top. Some seemed slightly horrified. Others looked ready to win the drag race.

News of Bernie Mac's death hit comedy fans hard Saturday.

The 50-year-old stand-up comedian, film and sitcom star died of pneumonia Aug. 9 in Chicago, where he lived. He had suffered from sarcoidosis.

Not everyone was a fan of Mac's audacious humor, but I loved hearing him talk about family life and its ills. He made my sides hurt laughing. Rest in peace, Bernie.

Tonight is the finale of "Last Comic Standing."

I'm kind of confused as to why they let the final five comics perform last week and then forced America to choose a winner. We've barely seen full sets by these comics. But the top five (even the top eight) are really talented.
