NBC Casting Call: “The Biggest Loser” — CHICAGO, L.A., and In-between THIS WEEKEND
Do you enjoy not just a piece, but the entire red velvet cake?
Do you consider deep-fried corn-dogs with Twinkies and a Coca-Cola chaser a completely separate food group?
Are you morbidly obese due to stuffing down pizza pies, beer and your feelings?
Do they know you by name at Wendy’s?

“I’ll Eat You Last: A chat with Sue Mengers” — aka “The Devil Wears Donna Karan”
I went into I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers with no preconceived notions and not having read one single review. I knew nada, zilch, nothing. Just the way I like it. Surprise me –ENTERTAIN ME — I don’t want to know ALL ABOUT IT beforehand.
STOP READING RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT ANY SPOILERS.
Scene: I’m in NYC. I’m there to cover the Tony announcements, and Bette Midler and I’ll Eat You Last are going to walk away with all the statues. I’d better see it tonight, I think.
“All booked,” says Philippe, my concierge. “Sorry.”

“Inside Amy Schumer” is crude yet clever
Amy Schumer didn’t waste a minute in the debut episode of her new Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer. She went straight for the filthy. The very, very literally filthy.

PHOTO of THE DAY: Chelsea Handler as a teenager
I always just assumed Chelsea Handler was born at 35 with a bottle of Grey Goose in one hand and a clutch purse in the other (with Chuy inside). But apparently she had a childhood.

Jesus dissed again — this time by Ryan Lochte
What would this or that one do?
Someone even posted What Would Rachel Maddow do?
You KNOW she’s a LESBIAN VAMPIRE, don’t you?! (Watch from the 2:00 mark — the vampire part is right after the canned Unicorn meat with sparkles).

Project Runway 11.14: The Critical Path
If Tim Gunn suggested to the proverbial hare, “I think you have more work to do. Is this the best time for a nap?” would the recalcitrant lepus shake off his yawning siesta and leap with his long hind legs to the looming finish line? Just how valuable is criticism, and who hears it? We can learn so much from Project Runway.
Fashion forward?
Michelle from Portland, emotive Patricia and stoic Stanley are the three remaining finalists, with three days to polish their twelve-piece collections. They still have their helpers — Amanda, Layana and Richard, respectively — though we see little of them. They will also have six helpers on the day of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runway show at Lincoln Center.
