Tonight on Watch What Happens Live it's Jeff Lewis, Jenni Pulos, and an update on how Kandi is faring live at Midnight. Also Jenni has written a brand new rap which she'll debut on the show. I can't wait to hear it.

Last night's Top Chef was something of a shocker, I know. I woke up to a barrage of e-mails questioning the decision and inquiring about Ash's "falling on sword" moment. I am sure we'll be discussing all this at the reunion taping in a few weeks. 

Tuesday night, Bravo Media hosted a party at the GE Kitchen on 58th street celebrating the launch of a slew of Top Chef-related products, including knives, a new Quickfire cookbook, Top Chef's own brand (Quickfire) of white and red wine, a new game, Season 5 on DVD, floral arrangements, and a line of Schwans Top Chef TV dinners. Cheftestants from several seasons, including winner Stephanie Izard, cooked delicious munchies as the crowd sampled the wine and products. I wasn't the only one in the room who was really impressed with the high quality of merchandise, which will eventually be sold all over the place but for now your best bet is to keep checking shopbybravo.com for more info.

Last night I ate at Bobby Flay's Bar American. For some reason I looked at the menu and got a bit of an upset stomach, but that's more about me than the menu or the restaurant. I think I've just been eating out too much lately. (And by lately I mean every night for the past 19 years.) Anyway, I don't think I'm going to be running back to Bar American.  

After dinner I tried to settle my stomach with Game 1 of what I am praying is the road to the World Series for my beloved St. Louis Cardinals. They didn't fare too great last night but I have FAITH.  Was it me or did the game feel especially looooong last night? Maybe it's because it was so late. I don't know but I used some of the foul-ball-downtime to try to figure out the new settings on  Time Warner Cable changed DVR. Everybody's up in arms about the new, less good DVR. Why change a good thing? Sometimes change hurts. 

While I was trying to navigate the game and new DVR world, I caught a promo for a new show Paula Zahn has on Discovery1000 or some Discovery channel. So the point is that Paula, who I worked with for years at CBS, has always had the best hair in TV news, and I can report that she's keeping her crown while working some kind of 2009 Farrahomage. Rock on, Paula.

Am I the only person who's tickled by Barbra Streisand releasing a new album the same week as Madonna and Mariah and kicking their asses? Barbra is No. 1 this week and that means she's had a No. 1 album for the last five decades.  If my gemory (gay+memory) serves me, I think Cher holds the same record. But what do I know, really???

CAB REPORT: I had the most mellow cab ride today, just smooth all around. I got in on Jane Street and the driver grunted "You want I take 6th Avenue??" I grunted back "You decide" and kept my face trained down to my BlackBerry and this rambling blog. I believe we took 8th Avenue and the driver, uncharacteristically, didn't make a peep the whole way. I didn't look up from my device until the NBC Studios awning at Rockefeller Center. Imagine my surprise then when I realized that my grunting chauffeur was actually the lovley Duhra Ranjit, who is very much a LADY! It was so "The Crying Game: Taxi 5J96 Style." I had HER to thank for such a quiet and smooth journey. And thank her I did.  Before I stepped out of cab 5J96, I hurridly but gently made a baby with Duhra and it was the sweetest love I have ever made. And I tipped her in sloppy wet kisses.

Hi Andy, You are a real hoot. You look so hot with your fashion most of the time..woof woof...this may not be the platform to voice this request but there are so many lives involved I have to start somewhere. My partner and I lost our precious friend Spankee (a Jack Russell Mix) after 7 years from Canine Lymphoma last April. The pain and suffering has been so bad that I was on antidepressants and could not seem to find a reason to get out of bed. Finally, Jim, again, my partner of 12 years said the only thing to do was find another friend that needed us as much as Spankee did over 7 years ago. Rescue's are truly the only way to adopt as for opinions but so many keep breeding and so many are not wanted that this country and the financial plights have cause unheard of killings in Animal Control Shelters. My only platform is to try to get the attention of those that seem sensitive and caring. You have shown that much more since Kandi's fiance'd killing. You have treated that with kid gloves. Kudo's to you. You know you have an outragious sense of humor so quit looking like you haven't been brutal to some..haha Kim, Gretchin to mention a couple but kandi NO!! Good for you. Could you possibly find it in your heart to find a way to mention the alarming way that folks are having unwanted litters of animals that are causing unnecessary killings in shelters all over the country. We can't save all but any would be mercy to the animals. Believe me after watching my precious friend Spankee be put to sleep after suffering a few days, the whole process which I was there until his actual heart had stopped so I know the fact that it is not painless, it is actually a hurt and pain I will never ever forget. Please make aware at least your large viewer audience that spay and neuter is the only way to go. It is not only needed it is humane. Thank you in advance, Andy. Keep up the good work, I love all your shows and my Partner Jim thinks they are silly but I think they teach some folks how to act. haha
Hugz, Paul

What happened to A.J.??????????????? He will be missed, my prayers go out to him, and his family, as well as to Kandi, and her family.

Andy,

Love your show but please isn't there anyone beside Kim and NeNe who can be on the show? Also, how come Kim is the only one who blogs anymore?

Is that a weave on Paula Zahn's head. Will Andy ask her on twitter?

Big deal he told t.v. he was gay...who in t.v. land could not figure that out!!

In Response To" Yolanda..
Why is it negative to you or other black women to talk about weaves, but, the Atlanta show has done nothing but make fun of Kim's hair/wig for 2 seasons? Since when is it OK to talk about her hair, yet, the women who made fun of her think it is awful if people talk about black women's hair processes or fake hair? What is the big deal with Chris Rock or Andy or anyone talking about the fake hair black women wear but it id fine to make fun of and talk about the fake hair white women or men wear?

I am still laughing as i write this.. Just watched your show and Jenni is the funniest girl on TV since her look-alike, "Elaine" on Seinfeld!! That rap song she did had me in hysterics. She should be doing stand-up or on a sitcom of her own. She has such charm and talent and patience. What other woman could work with Jeff as she does? I think she stays sane by doing her dancing and comedy/songs. She is a hoot and Cute!!

A few random thoughts Andy. Stop flirting with Jeff Lewis. The playful banter is hilarious, but embarrassing.

Suggestion: Instead of Top Design, can you take a tip from BBC's Design For Life with Philip Starck?

Instead of DC Housewives, what about Texas? The stories from Houston and Dallas would be outrageous. Tons of money...and hair.

Love the late night talk show!!

Hey Andy,
I have an idea for a new reality show and would like to submit it to you for thought. I thought it would be very interesting to do a reality show about an apartment community staff and the residents we deal with daily. My property I believe would be perfect for the show. We have an on going joke of calling our community the "Melrose Place" of Washington DC. The name of our community is Sullivan Place. I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks,
Aurice
