TV Party for Tuesday, August 16th

Well, you’ve made it. This is the day you’ve been waiting for all summer, ever since the hosts were announced back in June. All that waiting, reading Tiger Beat and Seventeen to find out what everyone was going to wear have finally paid off. So fluff up the bean bag chair, pop some popcorn, and settle in for a night of TV delights as Fox airs the 2005 Teen Choice Awards. Dude, it’s like totally going to rock and stuff. Seriously!

In case you’ve like been under a rock or something for the last two months, the awards are being hosted this year by that hot chick from those movies…what’s her name? Oh yeah, Hillary Duff. And she’s got that old guy who does those movies about that gigglyoh guy, Rob Schneider. And if you need more reasons than that, well, Simple Plan are set to perform at the show, and they’re only like the coolest band in the whole world. And include Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Ryan Seacrest, Rachel Bilson, Wilmer Valderrama, Eva Mendes, Jesse McCartney, Jesse Metcalfe, Ashlee Simpson, Emma Roberts, Tyler Hilton and more super cool celebrities are going to be there. Oh, and they’re going to hand out some awards to some actors and stuff too.

At nine it’s time for the highlight of the week, Teen Choice Awards notwithstanding. Yes, it’s time for “Tommy Lee Goes to College”. Rock star Tommy Lee from "Mötley Crüe" at last finds time for college after living the fast life for two decades. We all know that Tommy's former loves include Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson, but how will he fare with the college coeds? Lee enrolls at The University of Nebraska at Lincoln and struggles just like any other (famous rock star) student to balance academics with extra-curricular pursuits, his new roommate Matt and a distractingly attractive tutor named Natalie. Whether Tommy makes time with the tutor will likely depend on whether she’s seen his famous sex tape…

Finally, at 10:30 – you get a half hour off tonight to brush your teeth and wash your face – it’s time for my new favorite show, MTV’s The 70s House. We’re up to episode seven, the group is getting smaller, and the kids remaining in the house are really starting to get into it. I’m hoping that the last few will adopt 70s style as their every-day wear after the show and spawn a resurgence of 70s fashion, if only so I can get some use out of those velour shirts I’ve still got in a box in the basement.
