Love the news on Top Chef about the judges. Love it.

Top Chef news! Including news about the panel of judges and the lineup of contestants, if folks don't want to be spoiled about any of that.

Seriously? I don't recognize most of those names, but Kelly Liken was just on Iron Chef, so I'm assuming there are some other accomplished people there.

Also, love the judges news.

TCM - Totally rooting for Susan to go all the way. I just love her attitude about everything.

AI: First, teens and pre-teens of America, what the fuck? I can't even comment on the person that Perez Hilton paraded across the stage except to opine that it must be some elaborate practical joke. And the Beiber creature was horrible. When did A&R people get replaced by Youtube? Ugh.

Next, why are the judges checking so hard for Lee? I fully expect to see all four in "Lee Dewyze: Ride or Die" t-shirts next week. No matter. I remain a huge Crystal fan. Her original song was awesome.

Last, seriously. What is up with the Beiber creature? I thought for a second Tim Urban had found a way to sneak back onto the stage.

Thanks for the SYTYCD heads up.

Hah! I already set my TiVo last week! I am so on top of SYTYCD! :)

But not on top of Nigel. Because that would be GROSS.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm concerned about the auditions because I really don't like the Dance of the Terrible.

I wonder if I should skip them like I skip AI's.
