			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/38135pcn_lohan13.jpg" alt="" title="38135PCN_Lohan" width="932" height="1398" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-840" />WTH IS Lindsay WEARING ? Never mind Lindsay Lohan is seen here draped in glitz and glam while reportedly sitting front row at Roberto Cavalli’s fashion show in Milan Fashion Week. But this isn’t even the best picture of this event, as after the show she was then seen drapped all over Cavalli himself. Must be nice. And when you have that kind of lifestyle, I guess it really doesn’t matter WHO you are dating, when you clearly have some strings in the world of fabulosity. But this time the rumors that she has gone back to boys may actually be true. Tho Lindsay Lohan says she’s not dating Gareth Geno, a British DJ, all signs seem to be saying otherwise. But then, she also says he’s so cute she’s going to have to move to London. So maybe she’s lying, or maybe the media is lying, or maybe her long-lost twin from The Parent Trap has returned to spread some rumors. The Mirror saw her hanging out with Gareth at Sketch nightclub in London on Wednesday. She was doing a guest DJ stint, and he was helping her. But the club was more interested in what they were seeing than what they were hearing. Lindsay and Gareth were holding hands and he was feeding her chips, the Mirror reports. “Dance!” she yelled to the crowd at one point. “I feel like I’m in a f–king zoo.” Apparently all that work (that work being getting looked at) was too much to bear. She made an early exit, but not before dropping a cute “see you later, baby” on her new DJ arm candy. He joined her later at the snooty club Bungalow 8, where the Mirror overheard her saying, “I have to move to London. He’s so cute.” When grilled by Gossip Cop on the man cute enough for her to quit her life in L.A., she denied everything. “Nooo I am not [dating him],” she said. “He’s a friend, geez.” Lindsay might not want to douse this rumour so fast. Samantha Ronson made a killing off DJ-ing events while she was dating Lindsay, because the presumption was that they’d come together. They should just team up as a couple, DJ a bunch of events, and split the profits. It would be so fauxmantic! And maybe THEN Samantha will believe that Lindsay really meant it all that time she said she was going to go back to boys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1.jpg" alt="" title="1" width="600" height="954" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-837" />Coco is back to her own self posting naked pictures of her bare ass everywhere she can. Today’s butt picture was aired via her Twitter account, no big deal. Except that this photo shows a lot more than she probably intended to originally.</p>
<p>The image shows Coco naked in front of a tanning bed mirror, illuminated by the bed’s hard light which makes the whole scene look purple. But what makes this photo interesting is that she’s actually standing in front of a mirror, so you can see her big bouncy boobs and even her shaved crotch. A few weeks ago Coco promised her Twitter subscribers she would share a juicy picture with them once she hit 60,000 fans. Today she made her promise good by posting this photo and twitting:</p>
<blockquote><p>
    Here’s what u all been waiting for! A pic of me tanning since I hit 60,000. Don’t click this link if your not ready!</p></blockquote>

Our sister pub, The Gloss, discovered the hard way that Minnie, who’s a fashion designer, in no way wants to be connected to the burgeoning reality star — who is currently separated from Minnie’s brother Topper and dating Constantine Maroulis.</p>
<p>After doing an interview with Minnie about her fashion line, The Gloss’s Jennifer Wright started receiving emails from her publicist, asking her to cut any mention of the Tinz from the final draft. The Gloss refused, and you can read the whole interview here.</p>
<p>Looks like these two former sisters won’t even pretend to be</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/its-dr-linus_510x340.jpg" alt="" title="its-dr-linus_510x340" width="510" height="340" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-824" />How do you really know when you have watched an exceptional episode of <em>Lost</em>?<br />
When you see the redemption of Ben and the official transformation of Jack into a main of faith. Oh, and when the hour concludes with Charles Widmore in a submarine, gliding underneath the water, just off the island shore.</p>
<p><strong>OMG wow</strong>. To paraphrase Kanye West: &#8220;Dr. Linus&#8221; was one of the greatest episode of all-time. <em>Of all- time!</em> Let&#8217;s begin this review by going over what we learned:</p>
<ul>
<li>Richard came to the island on the Black Rock.</li>
<li>He was given the &#8220;gift&#8221; of eternal, youthful life when Jacob touched him. Does this apply to all of the touched castaways? It seems to be the case for Jack.</li>
<li>There are six candidates remaining, according to Ilana. Would that be Jack, Hurley, Kate, Sawyer, Sun and Jin? Or does &#8220;Kwon&#8221; only refer to one of the latter pair, and might Lapidus be a candidate?</li>
<li>Even in Ben&#8217;s sideways storyline, he and his father were part of the Dharma Initiative on the island&#8230; but they left, a decision Mr. Linus now regrets due to his son&#8217;s sad life.</li>
<li>Alex&#8217;s last name is still &#8220;Rousseau&#8221; and she referenced her mother as working two jobs. Does this mean everyone&#8217;s favorite, crazy French lady was never shipwrecked on the island? Or did she also leave somehow?</li>
</ul>
<p>While we&#8217;ll get to Jack&#8217;s revelation and the incredible conclusion to the hour shortly, this episode was mainly about Ben &#8211; and it provided us with a new theory on the Sideways World vs. the Island World as a result of his story. See if you agree with it below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-823"></span><strong>On the island</strong>&#8230; Fake Locke tells Ben that there&#8217;s another option for him, one where he&#8217;s (literally) free from the shackles of his current life. He offers him the power of running the island. Who will accept Ben? Fake Locke will.</p>
<p><strong>In 2004</strong>&#8230; Locke tells Ben that there&#8217;s another option for him, one where he&#8217;s free from the budgetary restraints of being a teacher. He implants in him the idea of being principal. Who will listen to Ben? Locke will.</p>
<p><strong>On the island</strong>&#8230; Ben tries to make a deal with Miles: stop Ilana from killing me and you can have your $3.2 million. Miles shoots him down.</p>
<p><strong>In 2004</strong>&#8230; Ben makes a deal with Arnzt: break into the school nurse&#8217;s email and you can have a new parking space and lab equipment. Arnzt agrees.</p>
<p><strong>On the island</strong>&#8230; Ben admits to Ilana that he once chose power over his own daughter, and the decision has haunted him ever since. He&#8217;s filled with regret and, most incredibly for Ben Linus, honesty.</p>
<p><strong>In 2004</strong>&#8230; Ben chooses Alex over power. He&#8217;s filled with pride.</p>
<p>While these two arcs are close to the past sideways timelines in which characters seemed to have a second chance at righting their wrongs (Ben murdering his father on the island vs. Ben helping to keep him alive in the new 2004), the utter similarity between what we saw in each world makes me wonder:</p>
<p>Could events be happening AT THE SAME TIME?</p>
<p><a name="more"></a>Based on the flashes of recognition in previous 2004 storylines, it&#8217;s evident that the island consciousness of Jack, Kate and company is occasionally felt by their Sideways counterparts (think: when Kate sees the whale doll in Claire&#8217;s bag, when Jack sees his appendix scar)&#8230; but what if these worlds actually exist simultaneously and can impact one another?</p>
<p>When Ben learned from Fake Locke that he could make a choice that saves his life and provides him with the power he always desired, was the flash sideways scene between Dr. Linus and Alex &#8211; where she also offered him a choice that would save his lame life and provide him with power &#8211; taking place at the same time?</p>
<p>Ben initially sought the power in each case. But when confronted with his regret over Alex&#8217;s death on the island, Ben broke down. What did viewers soon witness? A Sideways whoosh in which Ben made a different decision, one he seemingly wished he had made on the island.</p>
<p>We now ask: what if the scene between Ben and Ilana was somehow occurring in lock (Locke?) step with the scene in which Ben was told by Principal Reynolds that his power play would result in Alex not getting into Yale? What if Ben&#8217;s on-island admission of honesty and sorrow was actually translated directly to his Sideways self in 2004 and, subconsciously, Ben chose a different path in that universe?</p>
<p>As for Jack, the transition to a total and complete man of faith is certainly complete. His stance against Richard and the dynamite was one of the most suspenseful, interesting scenes in show history.</p>
<p>At the end of &#8220;Lighthouse,&#8221; Jacob said Jack needed time to realize his mission. He may not know the details of it yet, but Jack is clearly reborn in a way: he&#8217;s confident, finally, that he was brought to the island with a purpose. And where to go from there?</p>
<p>Back to where it all began, as he told Richard. Cue another of the coolest scenes in show history, as Jack, Hurley and Richard re-created the slow motion beach reunion from season three&#8217;s &#8220;One Of Us.&#8221; Awesome stuff.</p>
<p>A few questions, before we turn things over to readers:</p>
<ul>
<li>We need to learn more about Ilana, right? How did she get in contact with Jacob? Did he make a Dogen-like deal with her?</li>
<li>What is Widmore&#8217;s purpose at the island? It sounded more nefarious than benevolent. And why can he suddenly locate the island?</li>
<li>What&#8217;s the next 80&#8217;s movie Hurley will reference? We&#8217;ve had plenty of <em>Star Wars</em> and got <em>Terminator</em> this week.</li>
<li>We haven&#8217;t seen Sawyer in two weeks. Are female viewers still tuning in?</li>
<li>And finally: do you believe in the redemption of Ben? This is a character that has made a life out of lying and manipulating? Has he truly turned an honest corner&#8230; or does he still have a self-serving agenda?</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/taking-him-down_500x333.jpg" alt="" title="taking-him-down_500x333" width="500" height="333" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-821" />Whether it&#8217;s with their slowly unraveling mysteries or character development, NCIS understands subtlety better than just about any show. &#8220;Double Identity&#8221; was a prime example.</p>
<p>When a former Marine goes off the grid and assumes a new life, it&#8217;s up to Gibbs and the team to find out why. Our episode recap has the plot details. Now, here&#8217;s TVF&#8217;s review &#8230;</p>
<p>Lt. John Maine, or Christian Wells as he was later known, is found shot in a National Park. He survives long enough for us to meet his two wives, Leah Maine and Rachel Wells.</p>
<p>It turns out Maine vanished in Afghanistan back in 2004, only to resurface in the U.S. under a different name and with a substantial, eight-figure fortune no one could account for.</p>
<p>Maine/Wells dies before Gibbs can do his thing, but our man does learn that back in &#8216;04, the mysterious Marine vanished during a three-person undercover mission gone haywire.</p>
<p><span id="more-820"></span><br />
He somehow skipped the country with five oil drums full of unmarked U.S. dollars &#8211; how he did that is a major stretch, but no matter &#8211; after the Marines took out an Afghan drug lord.</p>
<p>That still doesn&#8217;t explain who killed him. Might it have been the wife (of the other wife, as DiNozzo naturally suspects), or one of his fellow Marines who Maine/Wells double-crossed?</p>
<p>Try neither.</p>
<p>One of his compatriots did try to track him down, but it was a P.I. who took matters into his own hands and tried to shake Maine down. A shootout followed, and you know the rest.</p>
<p>What was neat about this was watching the agents approach the case in their own way. DiNozzo was out to prove the wife (wives?) did it, which he always seems to think is the case.</p>
<p>McGee, meanwhile, did what McGee does and followed the electronic trail. Ziva put her hard core investigative skills to work, going undercover herself and one-upping the P.I.</p>
<p>As for Abby and Ducky?</p>
<p>Dr. Mallard&#8217;s attire and attitude left Abby puzzled, which we loved because the men in the office barely noticed his transition to regular neckties or generally happier demeanor.</p>
<p>Abbs was all over it, though, speculating about Ducky&#8217;s whereabouts and noticing something amiss, even if it&#8217;s in a good way. Maybe it&#8217;s her nose for forensics. Or female intuition.</p>
<p>Finally, Gibbs tracks him down in the morgue and gets him to open up about it. His mother passed away at age 98, and he already had the funeral. He&#8217;s grieving by being relieved.</p>
<p>Maybe acting extra chipper helps mask the pain. Maybe his mother&#8217;s passing was so inevitable, her suffering is finally over and a weight lifted off his shoulders. Maybe some of each.</p>
<p>Regardless, it was brilliantly done, with hints dropped all season long leading up to this, and his heart-to-heart with Gibbs in the morgue (and Abby at the grave) were both touching.</p>
<p>Terrific performance by David McCallum, who portrayed this difficult and complex subject very believably. We just hope we get to meet Sophie, the Realtor Duck&#8217;s now smitten with.</p>
<p>Another solid NCIS installment all around. Some have commented that they aren&#8217;t feeling this season, but it consistently delivers with its cases and characters virtually every week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/top-eight-women_473x395.jpg" alt="" title="top-eight-women_473x395" width="473" height="395" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-818" />The top eight women took to the stage tonight, but you&#8217;ll forgive us if we only focus on two below, right? Crystal Bowersox and Siobhan Magnus have officially separated themselves from the pack. Do we even need to go into detail with the former? She showed off a new, quasi rocker side this week by strumming an electric guitar. Just like the male favorite, Casey James, did last Tuesday. We hate to quote Kara, but it really is easy to see what kind of artist Crystal would be &#8211; and we&#8217;d totally purchase her CD!</p>
<p>Magnus, meanwhile, is different from Bowersox in that we have no clue what she&#8217;ll do from week to week. But she exhibits a maturity and a confidence far beyond her years.</p>
<p>Not to mention a versatile, impressive voice. These two women also possess unique looks and attitudes that are refreshing for the American Idol stage.</p>
<p>Who would we send home? We fear that Katie Stevens will get the boot this week, but we&#8217;re on her side after the judges continue to give her such conflicting advice.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d eliminate Paige and Lacey, as both have decent voices, but let&#8217;s be honest: neither will win this season. And we we cut contestants down to the final 12 on Thursday, we need to keep our eye the biggest prize.</p>

And we surely did not see that one coming!</p>
<p>We were curious how everything would end and what choice Neal would choose &#8211; to follow his heart (Kate) or do what he knew would be the more honest choice and stay.</p>
<p>&#8220;Out of the Box&#8221; showed us that <em>White Collar</em> is here to stay!</p>
<p>As much as we loved how tirelessly romantic Neal is about Kate, we don&#8217;t think she deserves it.</p>
<p>In fact. we really like Alex! She&#8217;s hot, smart, and fun. Plus, from the looks of the two of them naked in the swimming pool, there is definitely an attraction there. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed that next season Neal doesn&#8217;t waste too much time moping about over the loss of Kate.<span id="more-814"></span></p>
<p>Speaking of, do you really think Kate died? We&#8217;ve got a feeling Kate is like a cat with many lives and will come back next season. Maybe she was even in on it and wanted the plane to explode with Neal in it? Wouldn&#8217;t that be a dark twist?</p>
<p>The last couple seconds before Neal was about to board the plane, really had us guessing whether he turned around to stay or to just say good-bye. Either way, we know Fowler is the one behind the bomb. He has to be! But, how will Peter and Neal prove it?</p>
<p>Elizabeth&#8217;s role again was just an accent part of the show. We hate to admit it, but we really don&#8217;t feel any on screen chemistry between her and Peter. Hopefully next season things will heat up!</p>
<p>All in all, the boys knew how to bring it and kept us highly entertained throughout the episode. What did you guys think of the season finale?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-812" title="NUP_138370_0028" src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/hire-me.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" />This week on <em>Man vs. Possum</em>, we learned more about the Braverman family and the complicated lives they live.</p>
<p>Let’s start with Julia and Joel’s relationship.  Julia is the working mom, working hard towards her career.  Joel is the stay at home dad, raising their daughter.  Very modern day parenting roles!</p>
<p>Now comes Racquel… how does this beautiful mother fit into the equation? We believe Racquel is after Joel and hope Julia keeps her eyes open and Joel keeps it in his pants!</p>
<p><span id="more-811"></span></p>
<p>A very touching part of this show is seeing a man like Crosby making an effort to get to know his kid.</p>
<p>We wonder if Jasmine still has feelings for Crosby and if anything will develop between the two in the future.  We have to admit, Crosby’s current girlfriend Katie is a bit of a drama queen!  Maybe Jasmine would be a better match for Crosby… and wouldn’t it be great for Jabbar if his parents could get back together?</p>
<p>Poor Sarah, struggling to find a job and finding out that the only reason she was interviewed was because of her connection to her brother Adam.  We really hope she finds her dream job, a man, and somehow gets her life back together.</p>
<p>Sarah is a wonderful mom, with the best intentions of her children at heart.  She seems to be the most relatable character on this show.  There are many single parents having to deal with the same issues as Sarah, especially in our world today.</p>
<p><a name="more"></a></p>
<p>The Braverman siblings even smoked a joint on this week’s episode!  Did you notice how fast Kristina grabbed the joint away from Crosby?  Poor thing, must want to unwind a bit and forget the challenges that lie ahead for her and her family!</p>
<p>Max’s Asperger syndrome was confirmed and his parents are still trying to find a way to deal with his condition.</p>
<p>Most parents just want the best for their children.  How terrible is it to find out your child has a disability, without the knowledge to help him/her.  Our hearts go out to Adam and Kristina and we are confident they will find a way to properly help their son overcome all the challenges he will face.</p>
<p>Parenthood is an entertaining family drama, one with a storyline that many people can connect with.  Not all families are perfect; we all have something we are dealing with.  This show’s realistic nature is refreshing to watch.</p>

Let&#8217;s assess where various couples stand after the episode &#8220;Oriole.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-808" title="MELROSE PLACE" src="http://mactoura.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jonah-and-riley.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="342" />Melrose Place</em> returned this week with a case of crazy relationship roller coaster-itis.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s assess where various couples stand after the episode &#8220;Oriole.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Lauren and David</strong>: Better than ever! That&#8217;s what happens when you stand up to the guy that drugged your girlfriend&#8230; and when you knock him out before he gets a chance to explain that Lauren really is a &#8220;whore.&#8221; I like these two. Should be exciting to see how David, a man with questionable morals, reacts when he learns about Lauren&#8217;s occupation.</p>
<p><strong>Jonah and Riley/Ella</strong>: Snooze! Things started out well, with Ella and Jonah in a hotel room together. And, sure, we understand why Jonah wouldn&#8217;t wanna hurt Riley any more than necessary. But she makes one tiny speech about wishing to return to pre-engagement bliss and Jonah considers it?!?</p>
<p>Has he seen Ella?!? Or realized how boring he and Riley are for viewers?<span id="more-807"></span></p>
<p><strong>Amanda and Ben</strong>: We were quickly introduced to this relationship. While the tease, and subsequent denial, of an engagement was painfully obvious from the moment Ben said he had a surprise, big present&#8230; at least this gave us a chance to see a softer side to Amanda. She was clearly hurt by the snub.</p>
<p>This was quickly followed by her scheming side, of course. What are she and that investigator up to?!?</p>
<p><a name="more"></a><strong>Auggie and Violet</strong>: Most. Hilarious. Series. Exit. Ever. News of this cast shake-up was leaked months ago, so there was no logical way to write the characters out. But we laughed out loud at Violet&#8217;s repeated need to get away from &#8220;the building,&#8221; as well as the rushed departure between this &#8220;couple.&#8221; We use that term loosely because they&#8217;ve pretty much had sex like three times.</p>
<p>But, hey, you gotta trim the fat, right, <em>Melrose Place</em>? This pair&#8217;s exit will allow Nick Zano to debut next week.</p>
<p>What did you think of the episode? Do you hope this show gets renewed?</p>
