Enough psychoses, let's talk about TV.

Last night, I missed 24 and GILMORE GIRLS. Damn my VCR!!!!

So this morning, I went to the TV Guide Watercooler section, where they talk about all the good stuff that happened the night before. Tuesday is really fun because the hot, gay Daniel Coleridge writes the section that day, and it's usually really funny.

This is what he had to say about 24 last night.

24
Oooh! I just figured out how I know Riley Smith, who plays Kyle Singer. Omigod, I can't believe I'm gonna admit this: I saw him in this cheesy straight-to-DVD thriller called Voodoo Academy. It's about a young men's Christian college that's secretly run by Satanists. But really, it's just an excuse to watch hottie no-name actors run around in their boxer briefs. (Don't front like you've never rented that kinda stuff at Blockbuster. Besides, I was at my friend Matthew's house and he had the DVD, okay? I only sat through the movie like any polite guest would.) Anyway, I'm very glad to see Smith's gone on to bigger and better things.

By the way, nice fake-out about Kyle's plastic baggie of white powder. For weeks, the show's had us fretting that somebody would unzip it, accidentally unleashing the lethal virus on L.A. But the virus was never in the powder — it was apparently in Kyle himself! Then, Agent Tony Almeida gets shot trying to nab the kid. These surprises almost make up for Fox's overly revealing TV and radio promos, which screamed "The virus is out!" I just wish those scenes from next week's 24 didn't show the Feds finally catching Kyle. I didn't wanna know that yet!

Incidentally, the guy who made VOODOO ACADEMY (and I hate that I know this) made this movie called THE BROTHERHOOD that I saw over at Wes and Travis' house when they got it from Netflix. Wes got mad at Travis and me for making fun of it, but it was, ahem, another movie about hottie boys running around in boxer briefs. (Never undressed, always in boxer briefs. Always.)

Travis and I derided the thing as, like, a sanitized TEEN BEAT version of gay porn, which it was. Particularly the scene where the camera lingers lovingly on a jogger's barely-clothed, rippled, sweaty body for, I swear to God, 10 minutes.

THE BROTHERHOOD is particularly notable because it has ALL MY CHILDREN's former hottie Samuel Page in it (though he's credited as Nathan Watkins in it because, I'm guessing, he didn't want his mom to know the truth about the job).

Samuel Page, who played the equally hot Josh Duhamel's brother on AMC, now plays that BANDSTAND chick's boyfriend on AMERICAN DREAMS. This is both good and bad because, though AMERICAN DREAMS is good fun, Samuel Page will likely never, ever take his shirt off on a nostalgic family show. And that, my friends, is just a crime.

Samuel Page, who in case you can't tell from the photo is a personal favorite, also guest-starred on the show POPULAR as an oft-discussed character nicknamed Stone Cold Fox. I remember most fondly his scene where he, completely naked but properly camera-angled, approaches a group of cheerleaders acting as "towel girls" in the locker room. He asks them for a towel, and Melissa Ethridge's future wife licks her lips hungrily, glances down at him, smiles huge and hands him a washcloth.

It was so inappropriate. I was laughing my ass off.
