I know I don't need to tell anyone in the blogospher that tonight is the broadcast of the MTV Movie Awards, and you sure don't want to miss that because a) they were taped four days ago so there's absolutely no chance of any interesting live hijinks; b) the winners of these serious awards celebrating the artistry of film are a magnificently kept secret; and c) if you don't catch it tonight, MTV will never ever ever EVER show them again. (OK, to be fair, this year, MTV is separating the post-show and the replay of the pre-show and actual show by a whole half-hour with an episode of Britney & Kevin: Chaotic.)
But please don't let the dire importance of watching the MTV Movie Awards take away from the potential brilliance, or more likely train-wreck, that will be The Cut on CBS (starting at 8 PM). It will be very hard for The Cut to beat the magnificence that was Bravo's Project Runway, even if Tommy Hilfiger manages to be more entertaining than the huge bore who is Claudia Schiffer. But hey, I'll give it a shot! Even if the last 30 of The Cut's 90 minutes runs into the start at 9 PM of NBC's "new summer hit" (at least that's what they're calling it) Hit Me Baby One More Time, which actually was quite entertaining in its own way last week. (Dude, the lead singer of Loverboy got fat! And I don't mean Phat!) This week features The Knack performing "My Sharona," Tommy Tutone singing "867-5309" and Vanilla Ice doing "Ice Ice Baby." Come on -- if that's not good TV, I don't know what is! (Actually, I do know what it is, but this is good guilty TV. Or something.)
