real-life dexter

you've probably heard something about all those bodies they've been finding along a spooky stretch of beach out on scary long island. last year, police found 4 dead lady bodies. a couple of weeks ago, they found 4 more. and yesterday, they found parts of 2 more. they think because of the specific measures of caution taken by the killer, he might even be a cop. so i just need to know what these ladies did to piss dexter off.

the other thing i need to know is what that cute pony is doing in the mix.

jicyww, season 6 premieres september 25th.

emmy nomz.

as usual, i present...only the emmy nominations i care about, and who i think should win! (bear in mind that i am going to have a very hard time choosing between some of these.)

i have to say, we've had some fine television this year. some fine television. i'd love to hear which ones you'd like to see win. tell me in the comments. don't be shy.

i'm sorry, michael k...

...but true blood is one of, if not THE worst show on television. the writing, dialogue, and acting is atrocious, and their laughable attempts at southern accents make my skin crawl. the show doesn't deserve the millions of viewers it has collected, let alone an aWaRd!

at any rate, congrats to excellent shows 30 rock, the office, big love, dexter, mad men, kathy griffin, antiques roadshow, etc. for your well-deserved emmy nominations!

sookie!

hot new serial killer!

right here in new york (on long island!)

The skeletal remains of four people -- one believed to be that of a prostitute who vanished in May -- have been found off a Long Island beach, and a police source told The Post that cops are now looking into the disappearance of other hookers.

Detectives, apparently fearing a Jack the Ripper is on the loose, are scrambling to investigate other reports of missing women in the area, according to The Post's source.

The first body -- found on Saturday in thick underbrush about 10 feet north of Ocean Parkway at Oak Beach -- could be that of Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old prostitute, the source said. The other three bodies were discovered yesterday. (via)
