Olivia lies, Jay gets shady on 'The City'

Tonight just wasn't Whitney's night. First, Olivia takes credit for the cover outfit she picked. Then, Jay reunites with his ex-girlfriend, again.

I was really burned up when Olivia said the outfit was her idea. How did Whitney's bosses fail to notice her, "Are you kidding me face?" Initially, I thought Whitney was being too nice. I was with Erin when she advised her to stand up for herself. But then, I realized, "Hello, her bosses are going to find out eventually. They are being followed around by a camera crew. Most definitely, Olivia's little white lie will surface, and then Whitney will look like the bigger person." How stupid do you have to be to lie to your bosses knowing they'll find out later when it airs on MTV?

But worse, Whitney can't even vent to her boyfriend about her horrible day at work, because he's too busy partying with his ex-girlfriend until 6 a.m. to stay awake during their dinner date. His behind would be out of my apartment asap. Jay has some nerve to hate on his boy Adam for being shady.

Whitney is definitely a California girl. She needs to toughen up a bit to survive in the Big Apple.

And the most obnoxious award goes to...Olivia for being totally lame by taking credit for Whitney's idea.

Erin gets dumped for pining old boyfriend

I'm really confused by Erin and her love life. Last night on The City, Erin's boyfriend Duncan comes to town. Then the couple runs into J.R., Erin's former flame, at a party. Duncan gets upset with the blaring flirtation between the former lovers and has a serious talk with Erin about it the next morning.

Erin can't really expect Duncan to wait around while she makes up her mind. This dude is constantly flying in from Canada (can't be cheap). Erin obviously still has feelings for J.R. She even tells Duncan her younger heart will always love him. I don't know what guy would be OK with this.

We don't know how it goes down, but Erin tells Jay that Duncan dumps her. Erin seems upset by this. Again, not sure why. Why doesn't Erin just call J.R. and invite him to the New Years party?

At midnight, all the couples kiss, and Erin goes out on the balcony and cries because Duncan doesn't call. I'm not going to feel bad for you, Erin. If anyone gets my sympathy vote, it's Duncan. He was being led on. You're just upset because he called you on it.

And the Most Obnoxious award goes to Olivia and her cousin, what's his face, for having the same tired conversation about him living in her apartment and not having a job again.

Mindi scores goal, overnight date with Bret

My husband and I created a new drinking game last night: Every time "A-Bomb" Ashley says, "Betch," you have to take a shot. Every time she calls someone a man, you have to take two. Surprisingly, we only had to take one shot each after last night's episode of Rock of Love Bus.

Bret brought back Mud Bowl, and the girls didn't disappoint. Ashley's strategy was pantsing her opponents. Bret didn't oppose. At one point, she had Mindi's shorts completely off to prevent her from scoring. I was really impressed with Mindi's reaction. Thus far, she's been extremely conservative. I thought she was going to freak out on Ashley, but she was a total sport. In fact, her sportswomenship won her MVP and a date with Bret in Texas.

Bret and Mindi looked cozy, to say the least, on their overnight date, so what's with him selecting Taya first at eliminations? It makes a viewer wonder.

He wound up sending Detroit home, after she informed him her dad recently died. He felt the tour wouldn't be good for her emotional state, and that she should go home and grieve. I wasn't totally buying it, but I hadn't gotten attached to the new girls, so I wasn't sad to see her go.

Ashley proves she's touring for Bret

I hate to admit this, but I'm actually starting to like "A-Bomb" Ashley.

Bret decided to shake things up on the Rock of Love bus last Sunday by inviting three new women to join the tour. First, Bret made his girls give them makeovers, and once he saw something he liked, he invited them along for the ride.

Bret expected the girls to be angry, but some ladies actually seemed happy to have fresh meat on the tour. Not saying any names, *cough* Farrah *cough*

But Ashley immediately let Bret know she was pissed, and he was relieved to find out that someone was there for him and not just to party. Then Ashley persuaded Bret (and me) that Natasha is really a man. I totally didn't realize she/he only wore tutus until Ashley pointed that out.

I never liked Ashley, but this week, I thought she was pretty genuine. I hope I don't regret saying that later.

'I Love Money' delivers lame cast

I Love Money 2 premiered on VH1 Monday night. I watched the first ten minutes and changed the channel to MTV to watch Bromance instead. What were the producers thinking? "Hey, let's find the lamest and weirdest people from past seasons of Rock of Love, I Love New York and Flavor of Love and have them compete for $250,000."

I Love Money
veterans Heat and Entertainer can't carry an entire season themselves. Where's Megan and Heather? I need some quality drama, emphasis on the word quality.

I sucked it up and watched the entire episode today. I was an Entertainer fan last season, but if he says, "No Buddha, no Budda, no Budda" one more time, I'm going to slap him.

And somebody better get that Tamara to a psychiatrist. There is seriously something wrong with her.

Whitney criticizes Kelly's comments

What was Whitney thinking last night? I know I haven't always been a huge Kelly Cutrone fan, but you don't bite off the hand that feeds you, if you know what I mean.

Whitney brings her friends Erin and Allie to Kelly's birthday bash. They have this awkward little chat about Kelly's honesty, and Allie asks Kelly what she thinks of her outfit. Kelly says she likes Allie as a person but doesn't like her leggings.

Then Kelly asks Allie if she's OK because Allie was looking disgustingly thin. Now the episode preview was edited to make Kelly look like a bitch, but after watching the full scene, I believe she was genuinely concerned about the girl.

Allie gets upset and leaves the party, and Whitney goes after her. Understandable. But then she tells Allie she thinks Kelly's comments were inappropriate. Uhm, Whitney, how long have you known Allie? Like a month? And exactly who got you that job at DVF? Oh, that's right...Kelly Cutrone.

Bret gets selfish again, ends Marcia's tour

On last night's episode of Rock of Love Bus, Bret Michaels proved yet again that he only thinks of himself.

Remember last week when he didn't respect that Beverly is a mom, and she didn't want to dance on stage at a strip club?

Well this week he sent home Marcia for giving one of his fans jewelry he gave her. Bret even acknowledges that Marcia's gesture was kind-hearted, but his feelings were hurt because he gave that to her, and he wanted her to have it.

Oh boo hoo Bret, just be happy one of these chicks has a good heart and isn't on the show solely for money and exposure.

I'm still a fan Bret, but this selfishness is starting to turn me off.

Hey "A-Bomb," I have a quick question. Why do you have to get used to falling off a stage if you date Bret Michaels?

Whitney, Jay take their relationship to next level

So Whitney and Jay are officially official...yay! And how cute was his little, "Good things come in 3's." I'm not going to argue, three has always been my lucky number. But she had to be freezing in that dress. Isn't in winter in NYC right now?

Poor Chris. He seems like such a nice guy. But I agree with Whitney, there wasn't much chemistry during that lunch date.

I want to know how Erin has managed to only be in long-distance relationships? Did she always meet her boyfriends on vacation or something? The guy she's with now seems a bit clingy. I don't think it's smart to up and move from Canada to New York for some girl you haven't been seeing that long.

The most obnoxious award goes to...Olivia, for grimacing during the lunch meeting at work.

Michael whines, Boston impresses on 'Bromance'

Well, I have to give props to the producers of Bromance, MTV's macho version of Paris Hilton's My New BFF. The show had a better intro than Brody's Hillsmate's show, The City. At least it explained who Brody is and what the show's goals are. And, most importantly, it defined bromance. Thanks to Bromance and My New BFF, my vocabulary has expanded by two words. Who said you can't learn anything from watching reality TV?

Frankie
, Brody's current BFF, asks the question on all of our minds, "I just don't know why you need another friend." Brody laughs at Frankie for being emotional, but really Mr. Jenner, you keep saying how it's hard to find a genuine friend in L.A., but what about your bros Frankie and Sleazy T. By the way, who is Sleazy T? He's never been on a Hills episode. I don't know him.

Brody hand selects all of the contestants. There's so many of them, I can't keep their names straight. Femi is the one with the ego. He's sure to get in a few fights. Michael, the token gay guy, talked about being the token gay guy a lot. Oh, and he gave Brody a birthday card at a lingerie party. Apparently, Brody didn't think that was very cool. His little message to Frankie was definitely uncool...something about, "Step aside Frankie." I can't remember. Chris gets mad props for the "Bromance, because Spencer Pratt was a douche bag" T-shirt, but he loses points for the plaid frat boy shorts. I hate those.

My vote is for the guy with the Boston accent. I don't know his name, but I dig the accent. And I loved the toast, "To the most important people in the room...the bartenders." Love it.

And the most obnoxious award goes to...Michael for whining about Bromance not being at all like The Hills every five seconds. This isn't Lauren Conrad's New BFF.

'The City' leaves viewers with irritating questions

Episode 3 of The City left me with so many questions. First, who goes out to eat for breakfast with their girlfriend and chit-chats before work? I'm lucky if I get a Pop-Tart and a glass of water down before I rush out the door. Maybe Diane von Furstenberg doesn't open shop until noon.

Next, who skips out early apartment hunting their first week of work and doesn't get fired? I'd be canned if I pulled a stunt like that.

Last, is everyone wearing those silly little black clips on the sides of their hair now? They look ridiculous! I didn't say anything when Whitney was the only one sporting them. Mainly, because I can see it working on the West Coast with peasant tops and flats, but with blazers?!

And the most obnoxious award goes to...Olivia. "You know you have to be independent." Who asked you? In fact, I believe you initiated the conversation.
