Over the past few years, we've seen a whole bunch of Penn alumni appear on Bravo shows.

Known for being an advertising guru, Donny Deutsch (W'79) is now going to be dishing out advice starting this Thursday night, 11 pm ET/PT on his new half hour "Love Calling" Bravo TV show. (While I think this is going to be a weekly show, there is no indication yet on my DVR that I can set it as a "series".)

Yep, yet another Penn alum on Bravo!

More about the show and who it's actually open to after the jump!

Are you an avid J-Dater?

If so, you'll relate to Meredith Fineman (C'09, SDT, Penn Democrats) who started a humorous JDating blog called Fifty First (J)Dates. On the site, Meredith writes about both her awkward first encounters with men she's met on the site (she's at #11 and counting) as well as adds funny advice and musings about the process in general.

Per Meredith,

"I spent the past year living and working for Young & Rubicam in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When I moved home to DC I wanted to meet new people so I joined JDate. Then the stories/anecdotes were so hilarious I couldn't help but write about it."

Some of Meredith's fun posts:

• How to prepare for a first J-Date
• I Don’t Know How to Come Up with a Witty Title for How Bad This Date Was
• There is a Fine, Fine Line Between Confidence and Douche-baggery. (Well, not in this case.)

Fifty First (J)Dates is also featured on Huffington Post, Jewcy, and Jewlicious, as well as other blogs. Email Meredith with your stories at fiftyfirstjdates@gmail.com

...This reminds me of another (Jewish) Penn alum who did something like this back in 1998, but it was in the format of a film called 20 Dates: A documentary type film about the dates Myles Berkowitz (C'81, W'82) had gone on as he tried to find out how to find love in Los Angeles.
