Dancing with the Stars: The boot at the end of the rainbow

Lenni G has the scoop on last night's elimination:

Lots of entertainers and entertainment last night, and Michael Bolton was there too. Could not believe that "The Situation" and Karina were the judges' pick for the encore dance, but there "shore" is something about this guy that makes him easy to like and cheer for.
 
We also got Ne-Yo with his new number, "One in a Million."  Egads, this is one talented guy.  And the song was pretty "catchy" too.
 
And, we had the return of Michael Bolton, standing in at the very last moment for the ailing Susan Boyle.  Seems Susan was going to sing Leonard Cohen's incomparable "Hallelujah," and so we wouldn't have to miss this incredible song, Bolton decided to sing it, too. With only an hour to rehearse, it was - um - where was kd lang when we needed her? Anyway, he sang and Bruno "smiled" the whole time. After the stage smoke cleared, Michael was back on his "World Tour" -- if it's Wednesday, it must be Altoona, Iowa.

Drop Dead Diva: The winning season finale

The first season of Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva" has been delightful.

Brooke Elliott's Jane proves that being plus-size character on TV doesn't have to be all about being a preachy symbol or a representative from some kind of special group.

Jane is smart and sexy and worthy of the desire she's earning from suitor Tony. And, it seems, from Grayson.

"Drop Dead Diva" is the new "Ugly Betty"

I never thought I'd see the day when Lifetime would become a regular part of my TV rotation. Sure I've checked out the movies on a lazy weekend.

But now with the channel getting 'Project Runway' and after watching "Drop Dead Diva," I think I'm all the way in.

Premiering Sunday at 9 p.m., "Drop Dead Diva" begins with Deb (Brooke D'Orsay) and Jane (Brooke Elliott). Deb is a model, sweet enough to be beloved by a lawyer boyfriend, but so shallow that when she gets to the pearly gates, there is no log of either good deeds or bad deeds. She's declared a 'self-centered' zero.
