I've been lax in updating of late, due to a combo platter of writer's block and personal commitments leaving very little free time for blogging. So, of course, when I can't think what to write I waste time with a variety of shenagagins like Facebook, Twilight and this crazy new talk show on MTV.
It's On with Alexa Chung is a funny hour-long show that airs at noon on MTV. It has lighthearted interveiws and musical guests (like Ellen) as well as a daily segment called "What's Happening" in which Alexa and a comedian discuss celeb happenings and YouTube videos, (ala Chelsea Lately) as well as occasional segment on fashion or websites (not unlike a morning talk show like The Veiw)
Host Alexa Chung is a former model and a popular UK TV personality. She has a very quirky sense of style, with a mix of rocker tees, short shorts, crazy shoes and unusual accesories. Her dry British humor is perfect for me, peppered with a lot of sarcasm. She's cute and funny and young, something missing from the current crop of talk shows.
The guests are a mostly young mix, the stars of the Twilight and Harry Potter films and Disney Channel shows as well as American Idol winner Kris Allen and people like that. Musical guests are often indie rock bands, as well as a few newer pop stars like 3OH!3. It's a good mix, and Alexa's interveiw style is usually very conversational, with a few games thrown in.
It's a great deal of fun, and I'm hoping It's On stays on.
