I COULD JUST BURST

Oh Mum!! I've got so much to tell you I could just BURST! Those were some immortal lines uttered by Dawn French in my favourite episode of Murder Most Horrid when she almost committed suicide but was talked out of it by Amanda Donohoe but ended up saying those lines and being blown up!

It feels like an age since I blogged but it's only been a few weeks - I was missing something, there was a void in my life, Gossip Girl and Melrose weren't fulfilling it properly. Now I am filled. To bursting.

Glee the campy and hilarious TV show has aired it's first 4 episodes in America. Naturally, I can't contain myself so have seen them the day after they air online. They are immense, musical numbers, reworking of classics, high school drama and bitchy one liners from Jane Lynch - the actress who played my second favourite character in Best In Show. Nothing on TV has surpassed this last week's episode when we see gay boy Kurt filming his own version of Beyonce's Single Ladies to then seeing the football squad perform at the tense end of a match. It was TV genius and it's going to get even more genius when Kristin Chenoweth guest stars next week.

Speaking of guest stars, I actually pissed myself slightly tonight when I saw the ad for next week's X Factor - Dannii is whisking off to Dubai for the Judges Houses stage and who's helping her? Only Kylie!!!!! Now in just over 2 weeks time, I will be seeing Kylie live in New York so it's going to be super exciting to see her the week before on TV.

TV consumption (well not actual consumption) has been high - between Glee, X Factor and Dannii's ever changing hair style - how many ways can you style a bob?! Seeing the sexy Ricky Whittle get his chest out on Strictly Come Dancing, more Gossip Girl and then The Beautiful Life. The Beautiful Life has lasted only 2 episode and has been cancelled. I am not happy. The scripts were weak - it was predictable, the acting was blah but it was about fashion and bad models and it had Elle MacPherson as model agent Claudia - it was definitely in the so bad it's good pile of TV and certainly one of my not so guilty pleasures.

I'm going to London on Friday for a long weekend to see some friends and shows before NYC next week. I feel like a jetsetter, waiting to launch off instead of typing this on a Sunday night myself listening to Elaine Paige's live album which is fabulous nonetheless.
