Quick hits, in case you missed it

I've been a Macy Gray fan since her debut album On How Life Is, and have to say I love love love her new single Beauty in the World, off her upcoming fifth full-length the Sellout. Hope this marks a comeback for the R&B singer! Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world!

My So-Called Life costars Claire Danes and Jared Leto reunited this week at the Elle Fashion Awards, 15 years after they originally shared camera time. The photos of the reunion will most certainly be placed in my Angela Chace + Jordan Catalano 4-Ever scrapbook.

Like Lady Gaga? How about Glee? If you said yes to either of these questions (ideally both), you might find this video fun.

Barenaked Ladies have premiered the new video for their single You Run Away. It simultaneously bores and makes me dizzy.

Bryan Adams and Buffy Sainte-Marie are among this year's recipients of the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards for lifetime artistic achievement. Hey, I say as long as Summer of '69 keeps being a great party sing-along song we keep giving Bryan Adams awards. Let's strike his Olympics opening ceremony performance from the record tho.

Nardwuar the Human Serviette has been interviewing Olympic athletes in Vancouver including Jon Montgomery (love!), Maelle Ricker, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. Ch-check out the hilarious results here. I guarantee you smile during the Johnny Weir interview!

"Figure skating is gay. Deal with it."

Bryan Safi takes the media coverage of "flamboyant" and "controversial" U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir to task in a new That's Gay segment for Current TV.

As usual, it's on point and hilarious.

Weir, the 25-year-old three-time national figure skating champion, has seen media outlets question everything from his costumes to his gender in the past week.

Which led Safi to investigate the question: Is Johnny Weir too gay for figure skating?!

You better push play to find out.

Melissa O'Neil was made funky

Thanks to Mike's Bloggity Blog for pointing out that my favourite Canadian Idol Melissa O'Neil is now the female lead singer of Toronto-based God Made Me Funky.

After wrapping her run in the Mirvish production of Dirty Dancing last March, O'Neil auditioned and landed the gig with the band.

I've admitted before that I actually paid money for O'Neil's CD after she won Canadian Idol, and still have no regrets about it. She was also pretty much the only good thing about the live Dirty Dancing production.

Can anyone confirm or deny whether God Made Me Funky is a big deal? Based on their press photos, they apparently fix automobiles in addition to performing music. Funky indeed!

Not sure God Made Me Funky will make it to my iPod, but I'm glad to see Melissa's still werkin' it.

Click here to ch-check out an ET Canada interview with Melissa in September after joining the group. Beware, you will have to suffer through Rick Campanelli's ridiculously nasal voiceover.

Look of the week: Ashley Olsen

I love love absolutely love the look Ashley Olsen rocked on the red carpet of the Elle Style Awards in London on Monday, where she and Mary-Kate were named Style Icons of the Year.

Ashley donned a taupe Christian Lacroix Spring 2010 gown, with some accent blue among the lengthy tulle.

Accessorized to perfection, she wore fantastic platform tie-up heels by Fendi and jewels by Bulgari.

Olsen finished off the look with a smoky eye and back-swept 'do.

Hey, based on this look, I'd give her a style award too!

Hot mess of the week: Leona Lewis

Oh Leona Lewis. What is going on here?

The Bleeding Love singer showed up to Tuesday's Love Ball supporting the Naked Heart Foundation in London looking like a sloppy Star Wars character.

That fugly brown dress by William Tempest is completely horrendous. And she doesn't even look happy to be wearing it!

And that hairdo does nothing to help the situation.

Oh Leona Lewis. You hot mess.

Tweet of the week

Actress Marlee Matlin had a great time tweeting during Sunday's Olympic men's hockey game between the Canadian and American teams.

She only wished she had access to CTV in the States so she could watch it in HD. Check this series of Tweets:

Ghostwriter (word!) coming to DVD!

Oh my god you guys, huge news!

As TVShowsOnDVD.com was first to report today, the first season of Ghostwriter is coming to DVD June 8.

Yes, soon we will be able to repeatedly watch Jamal, Lenni, Alex, Gabby and Tina solve mysteries with the help of a ghost who can only communicate through the written word.

I will pay extra if they include a "Where are they now?" featurette.

I seriously have so many fond memories of this show, which aired from 1992 through 1995.

My favourite mystery involved the Ghostwriter team investigating who was sabotaging the music video shoot for Lenni's sure-to-be-smash hit You Gotta Believe. I'll have to wait a couple seasons for that one to hit DVD.

I also recall one summer when my cousins and I had the whole opening theme memorized, including all the Ghostwriter team's lines, and the traffic noises in the background.


Yeah, you wish you were friends with me as a child.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to release Ready Or Not and Today's Special on DVD. How awesome would that be?!

You've got a friend in Alanis Morissette

Ch-check out this recently surfaced video of a teenage Alanis Morissette performing a cover of You've Got A Friend in the early 90s.

Alanis performed the song as part of the Children's Miracle Network Telethon on Ottawa's CJOH.

According to the video's description, Alanis had one rehearsal then performed the song live with the "All Star Bear Band."

The big hair, the jean jacket, that great sway she gets going at 2:28 . . . it's all too cute to handle.

Vancouver travel tips from the stars

USA Today caught up with a number of celebs who have called Vancouver home to get their take on the host city for the Winter Olympics Games.

Glee's Cory Monteith recommends the Eatery for some good eats and fun decor.

"It's the best sushi in town," he says. "It's like a cross between the best sushi you've ever had inside an Andy Warhol explosion. It's (got) TV screens playing colored visuals and effigies of Astro Boy hanging from the ceiling. It's representative of the food culture and the youth of the city."

Sarah McLachlan, who performed at the Games' opening ceremonies, says she loves coming home to the Coove.

"If you're driving down Granville Street, which is generally the way people go downtown, when you come over the hump and you see for the first time the city and the mountains beyond, it's pretty grand," she says. "It's visually fabulous."

How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders, meanwhile, says a walk around Stanley Park's seawall is a must.

"It's a hefty walk, but it's beautiful. You get to be right on the ocean and you're also surrounded by trees and nature," she says. "Everytime I'm in Vancouver I have to do the seawall. It's rejuvenating in some ways."

For more of their recommendations, click here!

Who are We The Kings?

Wait don't answer that.

I don't really care.

The "Florida emo rockers" (thanks MTV!) performed a pretty brilliant cover of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi for Billboard.com.

And that's all that really matters.

I love me a good pop cover. Remember when Ted Leo covered Kelly Clarkson?

Is it just me . . .

. . . or does Jennifer Love Hewitt do everything in her power to ensure she is mocked by the world?!

The Ghost Whisperer star got all dolled up (or down?) over the weekend to celebrate her 31st birthday with an 80s themed party.

Not happy to do that in the comfort of her own home, Jenny Love decided to take a stroll outside so the paparazzi could catch her ridiculousness.

She's really making me ashamed of the adolescent crush I had on her in the Party of Five days. I didn't realize she'd never grow up, people! Honest!

Clara Hughes is amazing

Canadian Clara Hughes took the bronze medal in this afternoon's women's 5,000 metre long track speed skating competition at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

That's the sixth Olympic medal for 37-year-old Hughes, for the race that marks the end of her Olympic career. She's also got gold, silver and bronze medals in speed skating, and two medals from the Summer Olympics in cycling.

Christ, who knew you were allowed to be that athletic all year round?

Of all my Olympics posts, I think this is the first actually focusing on an actual competition.

And that's because after winning the bronze, Hughes gave one of the greatest, most humble and sincere interviews to CTV. She made me so happy!

"It's such an amazing feeling and I came into these Olympics and I wanted two of the best races of my life," she said. "There's so much talk about medals, about owning the podium. And so many things that, I just don't think in those terms. I think in terms of excellence. In terms of athletic excellence; physical and mental peaking and that's what I wanted to do here in Canada. I did that in the last race of my life on ice and it was so enjoyable and I'm just really proud of the process I went through to bring me to this place."

The rest of Canada is proud too!

Asked whether she could now be considered Canada's best athlete, Hughes immediately said no.

“I just consider myself a Canadian,” she said.

The support of Canadians wasn't lost on Hughes either.

“I want to say thank you to this amazing crowd once again. You gave me wings.”

Congratulations Clara Hughes!

Magazine cover of the week

What, were there no Muppets available onset of this photoshoot?

Lady Gaga takes the cover Q Magazine. And after convincing me that crazy shit she calls clothing can sometimes be cool, she decides not to wear much at all.

Great.

I mean, I'm still kind of creeped out by those gloves, which I'm pretty sure she stole from Danny DeVito's 1992 Penguin costume for Batman Returns.

So that's something.

Luckily, Gaga brings more "WTF?" to the mag's interview.

“But you don’t really want to get to know me or photograph my soul, you want to do some version of what you think I am and then expose something that you believe is hidden," she says. "When the truth is, me and my big fucking dick are all out there for you. But I’m not angry, I’m laughing. The joke is not on me, it’s on you.”

Uh. So that's something too.

Rachel Bilson is HBC cool

Rachel Bilson and Vancouver-born fiance Hayden Christensen are enjoying the Olympics in some classic HBC gear.

Snapped leaving an HBC gifting suite at the Games, Bilson donned the widely recognized multi-coloured coat, while Christenson stayed patriotic in red.

The happy couple have been photographed around Vancouver for the past few days, including a date on Granville Island, and at Sunday's Canada vs. USA hockey game.

Who is Jesse Labelle?

And more importantly, who does he think he is staring at me with those gorgeous damn eyes?

I've come across Jesse's name and the above photo a number of times on the internet as of late, resulting in severe insta-swoon.

I'm assuming he's a musician of some sort. But I'm choosing not to investigate anything about him, for fear I'll find out . . .

1. He's douchetastic, like John Mayer

2. He wears a virginity ring, like the Jonas Brothers

3. He doesn't really warrant any real attention or praise, like the cast of Degrassi: the Next Generation

And I mean, come on, how disappointing would any of those scenarios be?!

If you have to, please let me down gently.

Amanda Walsh is second banana to Hilary Duff

Man, those former MuchMusic VJs can't get enough of the Duff.

Ch-check out these new stills of Amanda Walsh alongside Hilary Duff from their upcoming ABC Family film Beauty & the Briefcase.

Based on the book Diary of a Working Girl by Daniella Brodsky, the movie follows Duff's character, a fashion journalist whose career and love life collide when she pitches the article "Switching Careers to Find Love."

Hotties Matt Dallas and Chris Carmack also star.

Walsh sure is doing her best not to fall into former VJ obscurity. She's also recently appeared in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey, Disturbia, and TV shows October Road and the Big Bang Theory.

Hope Duff's real life bestie Leah Miller didn't get jealous of the time she spent on set with Amanda!

Beauty & The Briefcase premieres April 18 on ABC Family.

WWIB: Hollywood's next leading men edition

Weeds' Hunter Parris (left) and Scrubs' Dave Franco appear in a damn scrumptious feature called "the next generation of Hollywood's leading men" in the March 2010 issue of Details Magazine.

Parrish dons a suit by Armani Collezioni, shirt by Burberry London, tie by Burberry Prorsum and belt by Louis Vuitton.

Franco, meanwhile, is looking spiffy in a suit by Ermenegildo Zegna and shirt by Paul Smith.

Damn, these men clean up nice. You don't actually expect me to pick one over the other, do you?

Ch-check out the full Details feature here, which also profiles hot young thangs Ben Hollingsworth, Liam Hemsworth, and Luke Evans, among others.

Chris Colfer on . . .

ON HIS GLEE CHARACTER KURT:
"You know, I really, really like Kurt and I really, really love everything that he stands for and I think that any character that has that much passion and that much complexity to him I would love to play, whatever that entails."

ON HEARING FROM HIGH SCHOOL BULLIES NOW THAT HE'S FAMOUS:
"No one thinks they gave you a hard time, you see. They all think they were your best friend . . . I really came with this kind of an attitude of, you know, people who forget and forgive are stupid. You take down numbers and you take down social security numbers and you get even one day, and I’m still all for that. But I think you get to a certain point where, you know, what’s the point? What’s the point of holding grudges now . . . But I’m still very bitter. I’m still very bitter. And if I saw one coming up today, I’d run away probably still."

ON WHETHER HE'S HAD ANY BIZARRE RESPONSES TO HIS CHARACTER:
"Oh, no – everyone’s been great. I think I’m always the one who’s always the bizarre one, because usually people are like, 'Can I get a picture with you?' And I’m not quite used to that. I’m like, 'What? With me?' I’m always looking for you know, Zac Efron behind me, or someone of importance."

ON WHAT HE'D WANT TO SING IN GLEE'S MADONNA EPISODE:
"Oh, um, I probably would have thought Kurt would sing Vogue, because that would seem very logical, but expect the unexpected in this episode. They do not go for, by any means, they do not do what is expected."

What the hell happened to Seann William Scott?

Seann William Scott arrived to the premiere of his new movie Cop Out in New York last night looking a little bit, um, different.

Is he bulking up to play Kevin Federline in a movie?!

I'm going to close my eyes, and when I open them resume living in a world where Seann William Scott looks like this . . .

Kelly Clarkson hopes we all want All I Ever Wanted

All I Ever Wanted has been announced as the fourth single off Kelly Clarkson's album of the same name.

I have to admit, I'm a little bummed about this choice. Almost a year after the album was released, All I Ever Wanted is still one of the few tracks I've never been in love with.

Interestingly, the other morning I woke up to Long Shot playing on CHUM FM. Does this mean Canada will have a different single than the U.S.? Or did CHUM FM take it upon itself to start playing random Kelly Clarkson songs?

I was pretty excited to hear Long Shot on the radio, and think it would be a better choice for a single. It sounded great.

But if you really want to know my thoughts on Kelly's best potential single, I'd suggest she go with Don't Let Me Stop You.

How do we feel about . . .

. . . the prospects of NBC's new drama Parenthood, premiering one week from today?!

I have mixed emotions.

On the one hand, I've already got Brothers & Sisters to fill my TV family drama quota.

On the other hand, I love love love Peter Krause, and always feel the need to give his projects a shot.

Back on the con side, I can't stand Lauren Graham and am unsure I'm strong enough to sit through even one episode in which she leads.

Then again, my love of a good family-focused show has stood the test of time. From Full House to Party of Five and the aforementioned Brothers & Sisters.

So I guess I'll give it a shot.

Monday deliciousness

Okay, so the Canadian Olympic team's performance in Vancouver has been a little bit underwhelming thus far.

So while we wait for some medals to get excited about, let's distract ourselves with the hotness of some of our Olympic men, who took it off for Chatelaine.

Above left, freestyle skier Warren Shouldice, 26, of Calgary will compete today. He previously placed third at the 2009 world championships.

Fellow freestyle skier Ryan Blais, 30, of Grane Prairie, Alta. opted to cover up with some ski boots for the shoot. Blais is the 2009 national champion.

Pictured below is young 22-year-old ski jumper Stefan Read of Calgary (left) and 33-year-old snowboarder Bob Fagan of Cranbrook, B.C.

Ch-check out even more hard-bodied Canadian Olympians at the source.

Happy Monday!

Quick hits, in case you missed it

Betty White is thisclose to signing on to host Saturday Night Live, in a "women of comedy" episode that could see her share the duties with the likes of Molly Shannon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. With that many female hosts on board, we best get a stellar Golden Girls spoof!

Hilary Duff and NHLer Mike Comrie are engaged! This is the best news I've heard since . . . oh no wait, I don't care at all.

The nominees for this year's Kids' Choice Awards were announced this week. While Nick and Joe Jonas are both up for Choice TV Actor, married brother Kevin failed to make the cut. Hope throwing that virginity ring away was worth it.

Barbara Walters has apparently run out of movie stars to interview. The veteran "journalist" announced on the View this week she'll retire her Oscars special this year after interviewing Sandra Bullock and Mo'nique. Apparently, like anyone else, she still can't believe she lives in a world where Sandra Bullock is an Oscar nominees.

The beach house featured in the post-high school episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 is up for sale! Yup, we're talking the house where Donna was almost raped, Kelly recouped after getting caught in a fire, David became addicted to drugs, Kelly recouped after getting amnesia, Donna became addicted to drugs, Kelly's sister almost drowned in the bathtub, Ray became a creepy abusive fucker, Claire existed for a few years, and Donna lost her virginity to David. Sign me up!

A match made in reality TV heaven

Do I smell crossover opportunities?!

MTV's Buried Life star Ben Nemtin hinted he may be seeing the City's Whitney Port, when he appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this week.

When asked if he's single, Nemtin replied, "How did I know you were going to ask me this? Yeah I've kind of been hanging out with Whitney when I am in New York."

The rest of the blogosphere seems to believe "kind of been hanging out with" is the equivalent to some form of "dating." Personally, I imagine it as a series of awkward conversations that end with more awkward hug-handshake hybrids.

"We just met, you know, when I’m in New York and stuff. We’ve been hanging out but other than that, you know, we just kinda met," Nemtin continued.

If that doesn't sound like commitment, I don't know what does!

Now, I'm under the impression Whitney needs her relationships approved if her beau's going to appear on the City, right? Luckily, Ben's already got his own MTV show, so there can't be too much objection.

I say we disperse the Buried Life guys throughout MTV programming. There's still three other cute Buried Life guys for Snooki to have her way with.

On second thought, these men are kind of too good for that. Keep dancing on the boardwalk, Snooki.

Hot mess of the week: Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton was in fine form as she celebrated Valentine's Day on all fours at a party in Brazil.

Boyfriend Doug Reinhardt accompanied the socialite, who clearly felt she had some moves to show off.

I'm not so shocked that you can see her thong through her dress. I'm more shocked that she's wearing underwear to begin with.

Paris has taken this title before, and it's something that just makes the world feel right, y'know?

Oh Paris Hilton, you hot mess.

Look of the week: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga looked all kinds of crazy as she showed up to Brit Awards on Tuesday, where she took home three awards.

And for once, I actually loved it!

I mean, the three-tiered white cape dress is completely fucked up. I bet if she stood real still you wouldn't even realize there's a person under there.

Gaga accessorized by covering her face in lace, and throwing on a Bride of Frankenstein beehive.

Because there's just no better way to accessorize when you're wearing layers and layers of curtains.

Well done, Gaga. Seriously.

I can't explain it, and I'm kind of disturbed looking at it, but I really do like it.

Tweets of the week: Olympics edition

"why do i love the olympics so much? it's seriously one of my favorite things ever. summer, winter..all of it! i wish it lasted longer!!!" -- Glee's Kevin McHale

"The olympics have been so fun! The couples figure skating was breathtaking!!!!!!" -- Nelly Furtado

"Beyond excited about our Gold medal! What a day! Congrats Alexandre!!" -- Dan Levy

"Between those wild argyle pants and Johnny Weir's pink-trimmed corset look, my fashion day was made yesterday..." -- Jeanne Beker

"SHOOT-OUT!!! pins'n'needles and I don't even watch hockey...ever" -- 18 to Life's Michael Seater

Eyo, guess who's gonna be all up in Vancouver this weekend? Motherfreakin me, ah yeah" -- Glee's Mark Salling

"Are there medals for Olympics induced stress levels?" -- Rick Mercer

Is it just me . . .

. . . or is Leonardo DiCaprio looking particularly dashing on the March cover of Esquire?

Leo doesn't normally do it for me. I don't think I really ever got past his overexposure during the Titanic era.

But I have to admit, this photo kind of makes my heart flutter, like when I first encountered Leo on Growing Pains.

I officially cancelled my Details Magazine subscription last month. Perhaps it's time to order some Esquire?

Stephen Colbert takes on Vancouver

Stephen Colbert was in Vancouver yesterday to shoot an episode of the Colbert Report at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

In front of an audience of hundreds at an outdoor stage, he took the opportunity to roast Canadians, Vancouver and the Games.

ON THE CROWD OF SPECTATORS:
“Welcome to the Olympic swamp. Thank you so much for coming out. Isn’t there anything else to do in Vancouver this week?”

ON THE CLIMATE:
"It's 11:30 at night and the sun's still shining — and they wonder why there's no snow here."

ON CANADIANS:
"This is the most polite mob I've ever seen."

ON VANCOUVER'S FILM INDUSTRY:
“Paparazzi ambush stars after first politely asking permission to ambush them.”

ON CANADIAN VOCAB:
"What we call ‘Canadian bacon,’ they call ‘back bacon.' And what we call ‘Canadian geese,’ they call ‘Canada geese.’ And most bizarrely, what we call patriotism, they call ‘Loving Canada.'"

The episode of the Colbert Report, with guest Michael Buble, will air next week.

Can't wait!

Janeane Garofalo: Elisabeth Hasselbeck is anti-intellectual

Comedian Janeane Garofalo had some choice words to express about View cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck when she appeared on Rosie O'Donnell's satellite radio show earlier this week:

She's anti-intellectual. I have no idea if she's book smart or not. But it's clear to me that she's anti-intellectual. She's not a particularly compassionate person. Sure she can cry if the person reminds her of herself. And her ridiculous take on religion, which is not about being inclusive, not about giving of oneself. She prefers the punishing god. It's 'cause she's just a very limited person, she's got a lot of limitations, as most people of that mindset do.

But that's not all! Just push play to hear Janeane's take on Hasselbeck, FOX News, and more!

Sounds like I need to get me some Sirius satellite radio, so I can tune in to Rosie Radio daily!

David Pelletier strikes again

I was sadly unable to watch the men's short figure skating program Monday night, due to real life obligations.

Lucky for me, Vanessa kindly texted me all the important updates.

No, not about the actual skating. About David Pelletier's hilarious commentary.

He wasn't quite as vocal this time around, but after referring to himself as "Captain Obvious," he did get these wry zingers in in:

Commentator: He exudes . . . confidence.
Pelletier: It's borderline . . . arrogant.

--

Commentator: And there goes Plushenko. The intimidator.
Pelletier: If there is such a thing in men's figure skating.

--

Commentator: The waiting area in figure skating, for the marks, is called the kiss and cry.
Pelletier: That name alone makes me want to cry. If you're going to kiss, get a room. If you're going to cry, get a room also. It should be called a penalty box.

--

I think it's safe to say we've found an appropriate, and more entertaining, replacement for Simon Cowell on American Idol next season.

I vote David Pelletier hosts/judges any show currently on TV. He can also just follow me and provide commentary on my life, if he'd like.

Magazine cover of the week

Ewan McGregor's looking filthy gorgeous on the March cover of Out Magazine.

The 38-year old father of three, who next appears alongside Jim Carrey in April's I Love You Phillip Morris, tells the mag he is by no means shy.

"I always try not to limit myself in all respects," he says. "Sexuality is just one of them. I could understand saying 'I would never do gratuitous nudity.' Wait. No, I probably would. I'd probably be quite happy to."

Phillip Morris sees McGregor and Carey play a gay couple. After premiering at Sundance last year, it was slightly gayed down to find a distributor.

"I'm very keen that it's a gay movie," McGregor says. "There was quite al ot of talk at Sundance that 'Well, it's not a gay movie. It's a film about guys who happen to be gay.' And I was thinking, it's nothing but a gay movie. It's about a gay couple, about a man's sexuality, and he comes out. It's not the point of the film, but let's not pretend it's not a gay film."

I Love You Phillip Morris will be released April 23.

For more of McGregor's Out interview, in which he recounts his film history of nudity and kissing men, click here.

Kelly Clarkson covers Jann Arden

Kelly Clarkson took to the washroom backstage before her show in Cardiff, Wales last night to perform a cover of Jann Arden's Insensitive.

Along with her backup singers Jill and Kate, the trio mashed up the Arden hit with Kate's song Illusion Of You.

Jann quickly took to Twitter to express her approval of the cover. "I loved your version of my song 'Insensitive'...the original tagged onto it was gorgeous," she tweeted to Kelly. "Be safe out there on the road."

The girls say they took to the washroom for the acoustics, not to drop a deuce.

They sound pretty great, and I'm loving Kelly's red hair!

Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries among CW renewals

Chuck Bass will live to mumble another day.

The CW has given early renewals to Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, America's Next Top Model and 90210 for next season.

The fates of Smallville, Melrose Place, One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected are still up in the air.

E!Online speculates Smallville's return is likely, while the outlook for Melrose is pretty grim.

It also reports the network will likely renew only one of One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected. To which I say: pick Life Unexpected. One Tree Hill has already been on eight seasons too long!
