Smart List
If you’re a fan of VH1 reality shows, you’ll probably be talking about “What Chilli Wants.”
Looking for love? Forget EHarmony.com. Just get yourself a show on VH1. That’s what TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas did. This new reality show follows her on a quest for love -- scrubs need not apply. (Sunday)
Do talk about Rufus Wainwright’s sixth studio offering, “All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu.”
Following his last album, “Release the Stars,” and the “Prima Donna” opera he composed for last year’s Manchester Festival, Wainwright returns with a more personal record: just his voice and piano. (Tuesday)
Show your bicultural side and talk about “Más Sabe el Diablo.”
Find the dramas at 10 p.m. a little stale lately? Spanglish network mun2 recently introduced a “remixed version” of Telemundo’s highly successful telenovela “Más Sabe El Diablo” (The Devil Knows Best). No sabe español? That’s OK. The show features English subtitles for the Spanish-impaired. (Monday-Thursday)
It’s your last chance to talk about “Ugly Betty.”
From that horrid orange poncho to the removal of the braces, fans tuned in (even when the time slot changed, twice) for four seasons to watch as Betty Suarez transformed from an unsightly assistant to, well, a slightly less unsightly features assistant at ultra chic fashion rag Mode. Catch the series finale and see how things wrap up. (Wednesday)
Think you know who your neighbors are? Talk about “The Joneses.”
In the new film, starring David Duchovny and Demi Moore, the grass is greener for a reason. A picture-perfect family moves into a suburban neighborhood -- only the family is fake, planted by a marketing company to introduce new products around the world. Uh, why didn’t Apple think of this? Or have they?
