Introducing the Pajama Jeans


We don’t write about fashion very often. We’re Target girls who will never understand why anyone would spend $800 on a pair of uncomfortable designer shoes.

But finally there’s a fashion trend we can get behind – Pajama Jeans.  It’s INGENIOUS. As the website says they’re “Pajamas you live in. Jeans you sleep in.” Who could ask for anything more?

Want to impress you’re new boyfriend? Don’t throw on some old ratty pj’s, wow him with your stylish nighttime denim slacks.

As freelance writers who sometime work in an office, we’ve been saying for years that official workplaces will not be fit for five day a week action until Casual Friday = Sleepwear Friday. Now, no one will even notice if we wear our bedtime, snuggly clothes to our day job. Why not? The high contrast stitching and brass rivets, of course.

And all this for the low, low price of $39.95 (plus shipping and handling) at pajamajeans.com.
  
How do they look in real life? We’re not sure, our Sleep Jeans haven’t arrived yet. But we’ll be PediEgg-ing our feet and Smooth Away-ing our legs while we anxiously await their arrival.

Celebrity Fit Club Preview


Tonight's the Season 7 premier of "Celebrity Fit Club." And if you've seen the promos it may seem like Kevin Federline is the only contestant on the show. But, thank goodness, that is not the case.

In fact, we think the most interesting thing about K-Fed being on the program, is that his ex (no, not Britney, his girlfriend that he left for Britney), Shar Jackson, is in the cast, too. That should make for some good trashy TV.

Add to that Bobby Brown (whose own show practically invented train wreck television), Sebastian Bach (ex-lead singer of Skid Row and centerpiece of one of our favorite and way-too-short-lived series "SuperGroup"), Tanisha Thomas (of "Bad Girls Club" fame), and Jay McCarroll (winner of "Project Runway" Season 1), and you've got yourself a veritable who's who of reality stars.

Two C-List actresses — Nicole Eggert (from "Charles in Charge" and "Baywatch") and Kaycee Stroh (from the "High School Musical" series) — round out the weight challenged crew.

The most exciting twist to this season's "Fit Club?" New life coach extraordinaire Rhonda Britten, who hails from our favorite reality show of all time "Starting Over." If only she would bring Dr. Stan for a special visit, it could quite possibly be one of the best TV casts assembled.

Set your DVRs. You won't want to miss a second.

Our Picks for Best Super Bowl Commercials

We're not what you call sports fans, by any stretch. Sure we go to an occasional Dodgers game and, being from Boston, if a New England team is on top we cheer for them until they choke. So when it comes to the Super Bowl, unless the Patriots are playing, we watch purely for the half time extravaganza and the commercials.

This year Pete and Roger did not disappoint. Although we do admit that we are such huge Who fans that the pair could have stood perfectly still on stage and not opened their mouths and we would have loved the show.

As for the commercials, very few of them caught our attention. In fact only two really stood out to us.

Albert Exergian's Insanely Hip TV Posters


Since TV is such a visual medium, it's amazing that a designer would have the presence of mind to attempt to break each one down to a singularly striking and sophisticated graphic image.

Now Austrian artist Albert Exergian has created a series of stunningly hip posters (and, we’re praying, future t-shirts) that boil “Dallas” down to a drop of oil and reduce “Kojak” to a lollipop. You can probably guess how he depicts “Twin Peaks” but until you see the clean, bold images you can’t even begin to image how cool they are.

Perfect individually, incredible as a set. You can scoop them up at the UK company Blanka but be prepared to shell out £50 each (that’s about $80) plus international shipping and handling (VAT is included). That’s still probably cheaper than your monthly cable bill and your TV addict friends will be oh so jealous of your impeccable taste.

Exergian’s non-television work is all pretty cool. Check it out at his web site www.exergian.com.

Leif Garrett Caught with Heroin, Again

Leif Garrett was one of our first childhood celebrity crushes. We had a thing for guys with long blonde curly hair. Peter Frampton, the Greatest American Hero, Pippin. See the pattern?

We realize now, looking back as adults, that Leif was really just our generation's Justin Beiber — a pretty face without too much substance to back it up. But still as far as schoolgirl daydreams, he was one of the dreamiest.

So we were more than disappointed when we heard of all of his troubles over the years - from the car accident that left a friend paralyzed to many months spent in rehab and jail. And he's most definitely lost his boyish good looks.

We were hoping that the last attempt at sobriety, prison time, and three years of probation were enough to get him on track, but sadly he was arrested again yesterday in Los Angeles for heroin possession.

We think Scott Baio should come to his rescue and do a second season of "Confessions of a Teen Idol" starring Leif. A girl can dream.

Read the whole story of his arrest here.
