Reality TV judging: It’s important. I can only commit to a TV talent show if I believe there are tough, fair-minded judges keeping the circus under control. Since we’re headlong into enticing seasons of The Voice and American Idol, the time is right to reflect upon the best judges in reality TV history – the ones who boast authority, smarts, sass, and fearsomeness. Oh, and some evil too!

The glamorous Marie Claire editrix has no time for fashion with a less-than-editorial edge, and she’s regularly the most intimidating part of a panel that also includes the fire-breathing Michael Kors and the perpetually aloof Heidi Klum. When she’s not dispensing displeasure at the drop of an accessory, she’s sighing with the kind of amazing contempt that warranted Meryl Streep an Oscar nom in The Devil Wears Prada.

Plus, it's a big day for birthdays, Kelly Cutrone is impatient, American Top Gear ready to roll, Alex O'Laughlin's ... talents, and Neil Patrick Harris' Beastly quips.
On the off chance that anyone at Cartoon Network reads anything I write, I want to go on record as opposing their upcoming programming choices. Not only are you putting live-action programming on something called “Cartoon Network” you also bust out this sentence, which is as close to blasphemy as you can get: “The network also announced that coming later in the year would be an all-new re-imagined version of the Warner Bros animated classic shorts, Looney Tunes.”
Also departing from the title of their network, History Channel is set to premiere their version of Top Gear with Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood.

Jewelry designer Kathy Rose is fast becoming an expert at walking the line between Hollywood and mommyhood.
Between being a stylist to the stars (Madonna was her first famous client!), constantly keeping up with the latest trends and winning big reality competitions like last winter’s Launch My Line on Bravo, she always does her best to carve out time for those who matter most — her family.
“Being away from them while filming the show was brutal,” Kathy, 38, tells People’s Celebrity Baby Blog.
“That was the hardest part. Fortunately, my kids are really close to my husband,...

Fierce disciplinarians fill out tonight's TV schedule -- Steven Seagal, Launch My Line's Dan and Dean Caten, and actual psychiatrists all make appearances. It should be a pretty intense lineup if all goes according to plan, though Seagal would likely protest that the Catens do not possess the inner harmony of true archers. The Catens would rightfully counter that Seagal runs funny.

Lady GaGa will be paying a visit to "Launch My Line" in its January episode, and a sneak peek of her appearance has been made available through two new photos. Released by Bravo TV, the promotional images give out first look at the dance electronica singer when she joins hosts Dean and Dan Caten for the upcoming show.
In addition to the two pictures, the network also shares another look at the 23-year-old hitmaker by releasing a short preview. Less than 30-second long, the footage exposes the show's two hosts giving a clue about the guest for the episode. Before long, the singer who is hidden in the closet comes out and surprises the contestants.

How Lady GaGa will make her grand entrance to "Launch My Line" has been previewed through two new photos and a video preview courtesy of Bravo TV. The singer will be hidden in the closet while hosts Dean and Dan Caten tease the remaining contestants with clue of their guest.
The fashion competition show is taking a holiday break to return with the GaGa episode on January 6. Six contestants are still in competition and they will be asked to create a "boundary-pushing" outfit which is the singer's signature. The design, nevertheless, should not leave behind the avant-garde and classy elements.
Pairing designers from across the United States with professional designers, "Launch My Line" will grant the winner a chance to have their line of fashion launched. Meanwhile, the designer pro will win $50,000 prize.

First of all, let's thank our lucky stars that Launch My Line isn't Project Runway. We all know how well it goes when Bravo tries to reclaim Runway's prestige with a knockoff, and Launch My Line sports none of The Fashion Show's boiler room lighting or janitorial judging panel. With miniature twin hosts Dean and Dan Caten of the designer brand DSQUARED2 helming the proceedings and insane contestants filling the workroom, this show almost doesn't need fashion to be entertaining. In fact, it might just need its first episode, which featured a quote that trumps the entire last season of Runway.

Welcome to Bravo's Launch My Line, where successful people in careers vaguely related to fashion get to magically produce high-end clothing with just a simple boost from delusions of grandeur, a hearty sense of entitlement, and a "fashion expert" who actually knows how to construct clothes and is going to do all the work. It's just like real life! And it's not just like Project Runway. Sure, the Frederic Fekkai Studio gives off a slight L'Oreal Paris Makeup Room vibe, but that's where the similarities end. Tim Gunn has been replaced by a low-hanging fruit cluster called "DSquared2." You look...
