Well, well, well. Last night's episode was all glitz and glam. Jenny's a spineless bitch, Chuck grants forgiveness, retracts forgiveness, grants forgiveness, partly retracts forgiveness, and Nate finds a new pastime. Involving vampires and o-faces. The usual storyline ratings, after the jump...
There was no shortage of Barbie paraphernalia at the event - cases and cases of Barbie and friends, one Barbie impersonator, even a life-size hot pink Volkswagen Beetle, complete with a pop-out makeup trunk. "Barbie girls can't go anywhere without being able to get glam at a moment's notice," says Liz Grampp, director of marketing for Barbie at Mattel.

Somewhat jaded and severe, Marsh can be an unlikable character in less capable hands, but Roach hits the exact note of susceptibility to keep his character appealing and interesting. Roach is a refreshing anomaly on stage, his gruff tones a welcome opposition to the glitz and glam and high-pitched chorus girl squeals.The only disappointment in the cast is Steven Cardona’s Billy Lawlor. While Cardona’s dancing is acceptable, his acting and singing are not suited for this role. Great songs like “Dames?...
