Do You Care About Tonight’s Finale of The Hills?

It’s the end of an era tonight as Lauren Conrad says goodbye to The Hills with Heidi and Spencer’s big wedding. MTV’s successful reality show will be back without Ms. Conrad, but tonight still marks the end of The Hills, as we’ve known it.

Will you tune in? Or are you over it?

Watch, Pass, Tivo or Rent: The Hangover

On Friday June 5, the comedy The Hangover will hit theaters, probably to the delight of dude-buddies everywhere. I admit, though, I laugh at those previews. Every single time.

The movie follows a group of guy friends in Las Vegas just before one of them is supposed to get married. They spend a night so wild that in the morning they discover they’ve lost the groom and they can’t recall anything from the night before. So, they attempt to piece everything back together (like why someone’s missing a tooth, why they suddenly have a baby, why one of them went to the hospital – you know, Vegas stuff) and get the groom to his wedding.

Do you think you’ll head to the theaters for this comedy, wait until it’s on DVD or TV, or never check it out ever?

TV Tonight: Pushing Daisies

The TV landscape has looked a little less colorful since December. A little less whimsical. A little less fun. That’s because Pushing Daisies last aired Dec. 17, and it’s been a drab, pie-less world since then.

But! At long last, Daisies returns tonight with the first of its final three episodes. Yes, writing “final three episodes” still breaks my heart a little, but I’m just glad we’ll get to see the conclusion of this lovely show on television at all.

When we left off, Ned’s father issues were about to get a lot more complicated, as it seemed his dad had started hanging around the Pie Hole. And last we heard, he’d sworn off using his powers - whether for good or for evil. So I’m curious to see where things pick up tonight with “Window Dressed to Kill,” which finds Chuck getting recruited onto Emerson’s crime-busting team. Also, there’s singing from Kristin Chenoweth, which is always a delight, and while this scene with her song may be a bit spoilery, it just made me all the more excited to watch tonight. Tell me: Are you coming back to see how Daisies wraps up?
