The Pig Wears Prada

The Pig Wears Prada... and probably has a huge dry cleaning billThree quick things this morning.
1) Guess who feels like a little piggy after Thanksgiving? I was doing okay until divvying up leftovers for guests and kept finding errant pieces of pie that just couldn't fit into tupperware that had to be eaten right then and there. By me. Couldn't let the whip cream go bad either.
2) Did anyone watch "A Very Gaga Thankgiving"? Her voice sounded tremendous and the costumes were restrained elegant weirdness instead of standard not-ready-to-wear weirdness (points for mixing it up) but otherwise blech. Every song became a ballad (not every song should be a ballad) and almost no verse could be sung through without multiple stops for self-regarding monologues. The show felt like it lasted 3 hours and Gaga was jumping all kinds of sharks named Self-Seriousness and Absence of Perspective. Let us get this straight Gaga, you felt bullied at school because you a) had to sit at a table that wasn't the cool table off to side with your friends (ewww. who would ever want to eat with their friends?! Gross) and b) because people ridiculed your hair for being too beautiful? Unnhhnh....
3) For my weekly column @ Towleroad I've listed 10 great things about this particular Thanksgiving weekend and your movie options at home or at the multiplex. The Muppets got a general spot but after the fact I wished I'd mentioned that Miss Piggy looks hot in Prada but Emily Blunt's cameo only made me wish she'd find another role as worthy of her comic talents as the one she had in The Devil Wears Prada.
Now it is time to eat breakfast. Breakfast called "Pie".
Holidays, Lady Gaga, Muppets, The Devil Wears Prada, yummy

On the title of the post-how awesome was Emily Blunt for doing that part? It's cute that this is Blunt/Krasinski's first film together as well-shows a sense of fun (even though they had no scenes together).
John T -- agreed!
Gaga's "Hair" performance there was pretty much screaming for an SNL cover. A lot of the special was good, but that was ridiculous.
euro -- right? I'm glad someone else was like "what?!" that song is so great ... maybe my favorite on the record, but she just ruined it by amping up its charmingly naive earnest adolescentness into this huge epic of aearnestness like it is actually profound instead of pop in its messaging. UGH
