Meanwhile, fucking Nnenna and John are talking on the phone again. It's the same old boring shit. The other girls, however, are starting to get annoyed because Nnenna is monopolizing the phone. Brooke says that Nnenna is perceived as being nice and sweet, but that she's not. Interesting, interesting. Joanie says that she might be extremely book-smart, but has no common sense smarts. John yells at Nnenna that she's ruined her chance, amongst some other nasty stuff. Ugh, shut up. I hate this storyline.
On what appears to be the next day, Nnenna and Furonda get to shoot their PSA, which is for HIV awareness. All the girls go to meet a woman named Marvelyn Brown, who works for Nashville Cares and is HIV-positive. She says that people look up to models, and so the girls can really do something with their fame, such as it is. The PSA will air on UPN nationally, and be posted on the UPN website. Furonda and Nnenna film the PSA, and Furonda really appreciates the opportunity to do so. It's pretty good, despite the cheesy shots of them in silhouette.

Meanwhile, in her "My Life as a Cover Girl," Nicole gets to go to some handbag party where she hangs out with Molly Sims and Debra Messing. Oh, Debra Messing, how you have fallen! Okay, the truth is that you always kind of sucked; it just took me a while to realize it because your pretty red hair was so distracting.
When we return, Furonda is shooting her guest spot on Veronica Mars. She is excited about her role as Beverly, an admin assistant to Woody. She walks with Steve Guttenberg, who gives her the handy advice to wipe any crumbs from her mouth after she's eaten. Furonda says that The Groundlings workshop helped her, because she committed to her role. I don't know how she would have wielded that letter opener without their training! She's appreciative of the experience, and says that while she doesn't want to name names, she's sure that there are some girls in the house who are jealous.
Speaking of the house, there is Tyra Mail, which Jade calls "Tyra Mizzle." She's such a loser. Maybe she should hook up with John. The mail reads, "A model's life is very busy. Can you cram a whole party into thirty seconds?" Jade can cram a whole party up her ass.
The girls go to a gorgeous mansion in the hills where they meet Jay Manuel. He notes that improv skills are very important for a model, and that they will be doing a commercial for Cover Girl in which their lines will be totally improvised. Brooke is very nervous. Mike Rosenthal is the commercial director. The girls get made up and dressed. Their wardrobe stylist is Charlie Altuna. I almost didn't recognize him without the thick black glasses and snazzy cap! That name also makes me think of a tuna-flavored Altoid, which is like Miss Itty's candy dream (and, given the state of her breath, something that she has apparently found a way of purchasing). The girls have to land two lines in their commercial amongst the improvisation (one of which is, of course, "Easy, breezy, beautiful, Cover Girl), and they'll each only get two takes. Jade thinks that this is a great opportunity for her, because she is delusional.
