Bravo's Andy Cohen

I find Bravo’s Andy Cohen, the host of all the reunion shows, to be surprisingly off-putting.

Carolyn, even the other gays agree on this!

My theory is that there are about 1,000 aliens on the planet posing as over-the-top gay men, and Bravo finds a way to cast 50 of them each year.

(Disclaimer: Some of my best friends are gay. Or black. Or women. Or aliens.)

This would explain Tim Gunn (and arguably Heidi Klum), but he’s from a more charming planet than Mr. Cohen.

Oh god, we’re going to debate this, aren’t we? Okay… so for one thing, Tim Gunn is not a gay alien, he is just one of the actual humans on the planet who has everything absolutely all figured out. Just because you’re an exceedingly brilliant, attractive, and fascinating person does not mean that you must be inhuman.

Andy Cohen has a different problem. He’s not a TV-ready person, but he has other people at the network (he’s the head of programming) pushing him to host these things. He’s settling in; he did well on the Top Chef Las Vegas reunion show. But doing the weekly show is a bad idea. He mentioned in an article in the Times how he has to really concentrate to sit still on TV, because otherwise his leg would jitter right out of its joint. You can see him holding back and that’s why he looks odd. He needs a ton more practice to refine himself to Tom Colicchio TV-readiness.

Wait - there’s even something to debate here? I don’t agree with that at all!

And I believe the PC term is “gaylien”

iChat ?

Perhaps a stupid question: can I have both AIM and Google Chat at the same time on iChat? I have like half of my contacts in GChat and half from AIM - my Gmail interface integrates them nicely, but I can’t figure it out on the new 27” iMac…

Ra the sun god isn’t looking bad, either.

I kinda want this as a tattoo, but fear its cliche. I’ve always had an intellectual Egypt fetish though…

Adrian, get ready. Followers still at work... turn off Tumblr for a minute.

IT’S NOT REALLY THAT BAD THOUGH.

AWESOME! I didn’t see it on the Staff Board - think they’re screening now?

Will someone spam the Tumblr #Xmas board with tagged porn?

Chad - when you posted that photo, it showed up on the Tumblr Xmas site for like 3 seconds. I didn’t think to take a screengrab when it appeared, but it was hilarious to see alongside all these cutesy Santa photos.

You win!

I love you, Adrian, but I have to disagree. I love Andy. He’s likable. He’s warm. He’s comforting.

Ergo, he’s like french toast.

Yea, I chose the word “surprisingly” deliberately. He’s ostensibly likable, something just doesn’t work for me…

If When I win the lottery tonight, this will be my first purchase: SousVide Supreme.
Especially after Michael Ruhlman’s glowing write-up!

Get me one too! Drop in the bucket of your millions at that point, right?
