The Pick-Up Artist
Written by TV Steve
I really don’t know how some shows get past the pitch, let alone on TV. Most of these shows are reality in nature and end up on one of 4 channels: VH1, MTV, E!, or Bravo. Granted I do like some of these reality shows, namely any Real World/Road Rules Challenge and Rock of Love. But most of the programming on these channels is terrible. Next, Real Housewives, the reality show about a gym, etc are a terrible waste of time.
BABY MAMA
Written by Suzanne LaCharde
(Comedy)
RATING: (3 out of 5 stars)
Pregnant…with comedy.
WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY: Michael McCullers
CAST: Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Dax Shepard, Greg Kinnear, Romany Malco, Steve Martin, Sigourney Weaver, and ER’s Maura Tierney
PLOT AND POINTERS:
Successful and single Kate Holbrook (Fey) wakes up one day with babies on the brain and nothing will dissuade her from riding the mommy train. She is confident and prepared to do it alone until she hits a wall of fertility mishaps. With her eyes on the prize despite her lady troubles, she searches to find the perfect surrogacy partner. Enter Angie (Poehler) and her common-law husband (Shepard), both eager and prepared for a preggo payday. After Angie becomes pregnant, Kate tries to become a hands-on birthing partner to Angie… which includes allowing Angie move in with her. Comedy ensues as uptight Kate clashes with playful Angie in the ultimate battle of the expectant mothers. (PG-13, 1hr 36mins)

Howard Stern Loses His Meal Ticket
Written by Lindsay
Praise the Lord and ring the church bells! The L Update is back atcha with your regularly scheduled gossip roundup. I know you felt a void and I do apologize for that, but bitches gotta take a break sometimes.
It’s official! Larry Birkhead is the daddy of Dannielynn Hope! Did you turn a cartwheel with excitement when you heard the news? I sure did. Howard Stern has said he will not fight Larry for custody since it’s now confirmed that he’s 99.99999999% a gold digging liar.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack!
Written by Stephanie C
Ok, it’s official. I have not written an article in…forever? That’s how it feels as least. It’s ok, you can admit it, you haven’t missed me one bit. I’m ok with that. Honestly, no big deal. No one is worrying over here.
Anyhoo. To get this column back on track I have a bit of house-cleaning to do and then I can start this year off right. I should add, “Writing weekly columns for Hillzoo.com,” onto my resolutions list (not that I really have a list or anything…even though I have heard that you are 80% more likely to accomplish a goal if you write it down). So here we go! Let’s go back, back, back to October of 2006 (imagine the screen becoming fuzzy and that magical “back to the future” sound that Wayne always did in Wayne’s World).
Why Appropriators Deserve an “F” in Politics
Written by Campaign Nomad
Earmarks are a grand tradition in the glittery marbley building we call the Capitol. Long before the :achm: relatively enlightened age of today, they went to feed the hungry mouths back home No, not the poor, I’m talking about old school political machines.
For years, patronage and kickbacks helped MoC’s get elected. Bringing home the bacon didn’t just mean having a new bridge in your district – it meant getting to choose who built the new bridge in your district. And possible who got the insurance contract on the bridge, and whose law firm got the legal fees. Etc. This isn’t the time or the place to describe the mechanics of a 20th century political machine, but to get a sense for how politics operated well into the late 60’s and in some places the 70’s and later read Caro’s biography or Robert Moses.
A Little Lesson for your Thanksgiving Hangover...
Written by Mike
With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, doing work, at work, or not at work for that matter, is becoming increasingly difficult. I find myself doing a lot of spacing out. I have a bunch of things going on in life right now and it seems that instead of just being super motivated and getting everything done, I’ve been going thousand mile stare style through the computer screen. Daydreaming about such things as High School basketball, Pumpkin Pie, and my very good looking Lady Friend…
