Tim Gunn

Much has been made about Tim Gunn's recent revelation on "The Revolution" that he hasn't had sex in 29 years (he's fine with it, by the way). Still, he didn't seem fine with sharing this tidbit with millions of people, if this clip is any indication. He seems nervous and shaky, as probably befits someone transitioning from fashion guru to endlessly gabbing talking head. While I'd watch Tim Gunn read the phone book, and I have no doubt he's a good addition to "The Revolution" as the show's resident fashion expert, I'm a little unnerved that someone who seems to be so reserved by nature is being tapped for every aspect of this chatty-Cathy show -- including sex talk.

We're down to the last ten designers, though I'm sure we're not down to our last wacky-ass design challenge. It seems that each week the designers are put through the paces for our amusement, but with little opportunity to highlight their actual skills. I guess making these guys show us how they can create evening gowns for Muppets or constructed from plastic knives or while wearing blindfolds makes things easier for the judges (she sent a model down the runway naked - she's out!), I'm not sure it's determining who's the best designer. But then, I guess reality TV doesn't really give a crap about that, anyway.

Just in case you thought the Kardashians might finally be reaching the end of their extremely lengthy fifteen minutes, guess again. Kim Kardashian, who last year snagged a role in Tyler Perry's "The Marriage Counselor," has just landed a multi-episode arc on the fourth season of the Lifetime series "Drop Dead Diva" according to Deadline Hollywood. On the show Kardashian will play Nikki, the new love interest of Fred (Ben Feldman). Nikki will also be partnering with Fred's ex Stacy (April Bowlby) in a new business venture.

Before we begin our new episode, we see Charlize Theron go back into the stew room to thank the chefs. I don't know that we've seen that before, have we? As Grayson notes, she was a fan before, but now she's even more of a fan. And who can blame her? Very gracious, that Charlize! But we don't have much time to moon over Oscar winners and their good manners, because it's time for our Quickfire Challenge. Our six remaining chefs, who must all be exhausted beyond repair, trudge into the kitchen to see Padma, Emeril and Cat Cora waiting for them. Cat's tough, but hey, she's an Iron Chef, so it's not like she's not justified in being picky.

It's time for auditions in Colorado, which should be a little snowy but will not feature an airplane hangar. Darn it! I just hope we get to see Steven ski. That would be worth it. 

8:00 p.m. EST Finally, "American Idol" is getting away from it all. By going to Colorado. I'm not sure how everyone in Colorado feels about this designation, as Ryan has made an entire state sound like a remote corner of nowhere, but okay.

David Blaine is technically a magician, but mostly he seems to like trying to get himself killed. Whether it's burying himself alive, sticking himself into a block of ice, or his latest trick of catching a bullet in his mouth, he appears to be more interested in proving he can survive insane feats of endurance than conning us into believing he can float (though he does that, too). As part of his new TLC special, "David Blaine: What Is Magic?" (Thurs. Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. ET), Blaine finds out exactly how many people have died doing the same trick (about 20) and then proceeds to do it anyway. In the video below, see exactly how many people it takes to shoot a magician in the mouth (a lot). Devoted fans will be happy to know Blaine also does his more traditional street magic and card tricks in the special, which will be part of a series of specials for the network. As long as he survives this bullet trick, of course.

Oh, yay, it's time for Pandora's wedding. Sorry, I just can't get excited about a person/character I don't care about having a ridiculously expensive wedding. It's a bit like being dragged to the nuptials of a second cousin you never particularly liked and having to make tepid small talk with complete strangers until you can run to your car without offending anyone. I know, I know, some people love weddings, any weddings, but when the main players are exceedingly dull rich kids, it's hard not to think that there are starving people somewhere who'd be happy to eat not only the leftovers, but possibly the flower arrangements. 

Pandy wants more diamonds on her dress! Pandy wants everything pink! Pandy wants bubblegum pink labels on all the wine bottles! Pandy wants Mommy to wear a tiara! Glad she likes everything the color of Pepto Bismol. Unfortunately, I am even less excited about Paul's colonoscopy. At least a minute is dedicated to Paul passing gas after the procedure. Oh, I'm sorry, passing AIR. All I can say is both of these storylines make me want to sick up a bit.

Catfight in Park City, Utah! Or at least it looks that way from the promo. We’re getting tears, insults and death threats, which means “The Bachelor” has just hit its stride. It’s hard to believe these girls are willing to take one another out over a dork like Ben, but anything is possible when you lock a bunch of women in a suite without phone, Internet, fashion magazines or basic cable.

Ryan Seacrest strikes again. He'll be adding to his Kardashian TV empire with a new series, "Shahs of Sunset," beginning Sun. March 11 (10 p.m. ET on Bravo). Following the lives of six Persian-American friends, the show will focus on their efforts to juggle social lives and careers with family tradition.

“Shahs of Sunset” cast includes:

We're off to San Diego for another day of auditions. If you're still watching, that is. In other news, the New York Giants are going to the Super Bowl.  Now, let's get to the really important stuff -- singing!

10:58 p.m. EST Today's auditions will be like no other… because they will take place on the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego. That's nice, I guess, although I'd think an aircraft carrier and its crew has more important work to do than hosting 10,000 people and a TV show.
