Monday
The kissing has begun and the clothes have started dropping, and it’s only week 2 on The Bachelorette! After the 20 studly survivors settle into their new abode, two lucky blokes get a one on one with Jillian. First up, a date at the House of Blues and an intimate serenade by Martina McBride. The other gets to snuggle up for a romantic dinner in an unlikely venue… a bank vault! We also get to see whose got game, as the group date heads to Venice Beach for a little b-ball with the Harlem Globetrotters! Look for a twist on elimination night as the guys get to weigh in on whom they want to see kicked to the curb! And then there were 16!
On The Hills, Heidi asks Spencer to kiss and make up with LC (fat chance) in hopes she’ll come to their wedding (fatter chance!) And big ol’ drama when the recently fired Stephanie has a run in with former boss/Dark Lord Kelly Cutrone! Rerrr! Cat fight!
But the biggest drama of the night comes from back to back episodes of the 2-part season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Where to begin!? It’s a double dose of heartbreak for both Kourtney and Khloe, as Kourt hears a girl’s voice in the background just before her boyfriend hangs up on her! Oh no he di’int! Kourney’s relationship with NBA player Rashad McCants also comes to an end, but it’s the implosion of the Kim and Kourtney’s relationship that really packs a punch! A mini Kardashian war breaks out when Kourtney borrows a few things from Kim’s closet without asking. But can the sisterly bond be mended after Kourtney declares, “It’s disgusting to be related to you!” Ouch sister!
We also get a sneak peek at Kourtney and Khloe’s new show based in Miami Beach.
And Jon & Kate Plus 8 has its season premiere tonight. On tonight’s show… oh who am I kidding, it doesn’t really matter what the story lines are, we’ll all just be watching to look for signs of Jon cheating!
Notable mentions…Beyonce on Letterman, and Larry King Live has Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and the American Idol finalists.
