Bar Rafaeli New Host of MTV’s House of Style

Internationally known supermodel Bar Rafaeli is the favorite to be named the new host of MTV’s House Of Style, the New York Post reports.  The original version of the show was very successful, featuring Cindy Crawford in all 11 years (from 1989-2000).

The Post reports that Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend is allegedly the favorite, but if Rafaeli turns down the hosting gig, model Chanel Iman would be MTV’s second choice.

I don’t really have anything to say about House of Style. I simply don’t remember it.  The New York Post is often wrong with their PageSix reports, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates on Rafaeli and House of Style.

I must confess something.

I wrote this just because I wanted to post a picture of Bar Rafaeli.

In the words of George W. Bush: “Mission accomplished.”

Mad Men Coming Back This Summer (Likely)

Just a few months after Mad Men was in serious jeopardy of losing both its’ star and series creator, the New York Post reports that the critically-acclaimed show will return during the summer of 2009.

The network says that if all goes well in production on the third season, fans should expect new episodes by the end of July.  But as is typically the case, that date depends a great deal on luck.

If Elisabeth Moss falls and fractures her wrist, production will be delayed.  If Jon Hamm tweaks a hammy working out, production will be delayed.

You get the idea. July is a best-case scenario.  August and September are more realistic.

The most important thing about the return of Mad Men is that series creator Matthew Weiner re-signed his contract earlier this month, meaning Don Draper and company will see, basically, as many seasons as Weiner sees fit.

Expect more updates on the shooting of Mad Men and when it will return throughout the spring.
