So I will publicly confess my undying devotion to the CW network.  I am, in fact, mildly obsessed with any show that features gossipy girls, couples making up and breaking up, and silly pop music.  Which is why I am incredibly excited for the premieres of Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, as well as the exciting debut of 90210.

First up… Gossip Girl, Monday, Sept. 1st, 8pm PT/EST.

This wealthy pack of Manhattan teens left us last spring with some mysterious cliffhangers.  Will Dan and Serena keep true to their word and stay away from each other all summer?  Will Serena jump into the arms of her ex-lover, Nate (as much of a “lover” you can have in high school)?  What about Dan and Vanessa?  Will Dan’s summer away from the “brat pack” cause him fall back into his past and crawl back to Vanessa?  Will Chuck stand up Blair and go back to his bad boy ways?  How is Blair going to take this rejection?  What about little Jenny, who has been grounded virtually forever?  I can’t wait to see how this plays out and find out about their summer in the Hamptons!  One thing is for sure, this show will, once again, definitely be my inspiration for fall shopping.

Next… One Tree Hill, Monday, Sept. 1st, 9pm PT/EST.

Talk about suspense.  I could honestly care less about the sappy Scott family, or odd couple Millicent and Marvin.  Who did Lucas call from the airport and ask to accompany him to a Vegas wedding chapel? Peyton, Brooke, or Lindsey?  My personal choice would be Peyton - after she wrote the words “I will always love you” on the gravel of his basketball court, my heart melted and the romantic in me took over and wanted him to get married to her right then and there.

And drumroll… 90210, Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, 9pm PT/EST.

I am actually nervous about this one.  The suspense I have been building ever since rumors started to fly about this show will hopefully my expectations.  Some say that this looks like just another OC, in which case I will be supremely disappointed.  I’m not sure that anyone live up to the Brandon/Brenda duo?  While growing up, I felt like I actually knew the cast of Beverly Hills 90210.  How can they ever be replaced?!

The first two night of my week are already taken up by “trashy” TV.  What comes next?

Claire-Aimee Unabia (”Claire”) , a contestant on America’s Next Top Model–Tyra Bank’s popular hit show on CBS–revealed to the world that she has been drinking her own breast milk.

This is how it went down: she told Tyra that she wants her breast milk to keep flowing so that she can continue to breastfeed her daughter when the show is over and she is back at home. Sounds normal…..So, naturally, Tyra asked her if she’s been shipping the breast milk home to her baby…her answer:

“Right now I’m actually drinking it. It tastes kind of like light soy milk.”

Gross! So disgusting!

Claire went online and answered questions about this from viewers, saying:

“I drank my breast milk only during audition week because I did not want to waste it after putting all my effort into making and extracting it. Dumping milk just seems wrong. A mother’s milk is like liquid gold, so I also wanted the nutritional value back and to keep my immunity up.”

She went on to say that she was drinking two to three glasses of her own breast milk each day.

Hmmm….good thing she’s doing whats best for her baby–what a thoughtful mom–rather than shipping the milk back to the vulnerable, growing babe that needs the “liquid gold,” she keeps it for herself to keep her immunity up–she should’ve said, “Who gives a crap about my baby’s immunity; I needed to think about my future, not hers!” How endearing…

Anyhow, Dr. Myron Peterson, a pediatrician from Cato Research in Boston said, “I’ve never heard of anything like it. Theres no danger to it, but it’s just kind of strange.”

Kinda strange? Ya, to say the least.
