Youth Radio Alum The Latifah has taken to the time honored tradition of television criticism... the most entertaining of the critical disciplines, since nothing soaks up witty broadsides and snark like trashy TV shows. This week The Latifah serves up a recession minded two-for-one pitting the new show "The City" against its revamped parent show "The Hills":

Now when The Hills first started I was all for the coming of age story about some rich white chick moving from one rich town in Southern California to another rich town in Southern California. When Lauryn jumped into her CLK Benz, looking all poor (b/c where they come from buying a CLK is pretty much like driving a Subaru…its gross) yet wide-eyed and bushy tailed somehow I related. Then I looked in the mirror and remembered that I can’t relate to her at all. But I digress. Anywho, long story long, LC is no longer on the show and now this little chick named Kristin is taking her spot. And guess what people? I’m not that interested.

All this and more from the new season at Latifah and the Boob Tube.
