Surrealer than ever

Upon first meeting her archnemesis, Ms. Dickinson said, "I thought Rick James had come back from the dead."

Excellent write-up of Surreal Life in the NYT. But even though the reporter gets to fondle fake tits and pronounce them remarkably realistic, the story only scratches the Botoxed surface of the weirdness of the match-up between "world's first supermodel" Janice Dickinson and reality-TV Medusa, Omarosa Hyphenated-Last-Name. How surreal is this show? Omarosa is the most normal one in the house. You actually start to like the woman. That's how bizarro-world the others are.

Castmate Bronson Pinchot has slipped over from adorable TV nerd (he was Balki on Perfect Strangers back in the 1980s) into exceedingly creepy, combed-over has-been. And there are three people on the show I've never seen or heard of before and I watch everything.

Missed Brat Camp last night. But I'm told tonight's new sitcom, Starved, is a do-not-miss. Perhaps the time has come again for more comedy born from eating disorders. TV's needed a new one ever since Friends was canceled.
