Gotta love Fox - "The Sarah Connor Chonicles is the years Number 1 new show!" It's Janury 2008!!!
AI's back and we get some funny reactions from the losers, Droopy Dog says the judges didn't........think..........he.........had.......enough........energy". I need a Red Bull just watching him.
Christina is up and she's out of this world with her Princess Leia hairstyle and she threatens to have children. Oh - and men apparently love her - she "doesn't know why" and neither do I. Guess there's some lonely, sad, Star Wars geeks who have made her their queen. And then she sings...all I can hear is her sing "and I'm growing tired" and i wish my mom would come in and tell me it's bedtime and time to go to sleep. The judges hate her and she keeps saying " I think you need a goofball". Maybe that's why these freaks go on here - they think it's American Goofball and they should try out..
And we meet Brooke as Chrisitna is STILL lamenting not getting to be the american Goofball (honey you won in my book). Brooke lives in Van Nuys and i wonder if I've seen her arounfd the neighborhood - but i definitely didn't see her at an r-rated movie cause she's never seen one and she doesn't drink or sware or rat her hair. She's married and her husband hasn't seen an R-rated movie either.....blah...blah...can she sing? No! But the judges think so she's going to Hollywood!
Thankfully, she's the last of this sad depressing night. What do you all think - besides the fact that there are over 1 million typos in our posts???

And we're back and Paula gets her wish - the Roman Soldier is back and he's smooth now. He wants to sing "Doncha" but Simon has had enough and promptly kicks him out.
Next it looks like we have an actual contender - Chris, good lookin and ready to go. He SINGS! Simon thinks he looks like a "star" and Randy think he can really sing. And Simon starts up some BRO-mance and says "the girls will like you". Only closeted gay men say that...speaking of which, Ryan was all over him. Told ya!

And next - Benjamin throws off his cloak and is wearing a roman soldier outfit. And Paula thinks that the only problem with this is he has chest hair and sends him to go get his chest waxed. I take back all the nice things i said about Paula.
"American Idol don't want Shiquita!!"
- A love song for Paula Abdul from Paul (who's 32?)- it's horrible and Simon kicks him out ("If I were Columbo I'd Peter Faulk her"). Here we get our "can you believe this" moment. He pretty much tells Paula he is a stlaker and wants to "stalk her". WEIRD!
Then we have Beth, who thank God doesn't have a gimmick and just sings. Simon dismisses her but Randy and Paula send her to Hollywood.
American Idol Live Blog!
And we're back...
They show the Judges arriving together...right. Since the show is kind of boring, let's talk about them shall we? Randy has these new mutton shops on his face and appears as if he's gaining a bit of that weight back. Paula seems to be surpisingly coherent but anything compared to that disastrous reality show "Hey Paula" is ok. And Simon is just like me - bored and just looking for the next check...
First up..Elise, a very skinny woman who likes to do something she thinks is dancing. Can she sing - no. Can she scream? HELL YES. This tiny skinny girl screams like she is a child sitting in R. Kelly's lap.
Next up a mini-montage of nastiness.
And then we have a bald man who clearly does not meet the age requirements. His name is Milo and he wants to sing a song called "No Sex Allowed". Where to start?? It's a song about a woman wanting sex from Milo which is fiction, obviously. And the lyrics are so stupid that one wonders if the producers went to a freak show and conivnced some poor man that he would be perfect for American Idol just to have him massacred in front of millions of people.
Next we have "Horse girl" who sold her horse to come to the audition. She's a CAGE FIGHTER. I think that's code for she does low-rent porn in Oregon. She sings Amazing Grace and she's not bad. Paula says, and this is where I laugh, "you've got a great tone in your voice" as if she knows anything about singing. Anyway, horse-girl goes to Hollywood. All jokes aside, she's cute and pretty and could be a contender. We'll see...
American Idol Live Blog!
And we're back with a montage of wins and losses and Ryan Seacrest looking gayer than ever.
Next we meet a single female, Angela Martin, the first contestant who looks like she could win! She has a sick child who has all sorts of medical problems. Are we going to get a happy ending finally? I think so...and for the record, her sick daughter is adorable! The whole family is there to support and Angela comes and gives an impressive performance. During Simon's critiques he tells her not to use "wedding singer tricks". He actually gives her some good advice that will probably help her! Wow! That's something new..
I can't help but be underwhelemed. it's 9:10 and I haven't seen something noteworthy. No Hungs, Fantasias or even Jareds! Where's our watercooler moment?
American Idol Live Blog!
And next up...Alexis Cohen! She's definitely got access to glitter and a bedazzler from the looks of her clothes. Interestingly enough, the cameras seemed to have gone to her house and show who she is. Normally this means they'll make it through but she sings and you know...NOPE! She gets up and sings "Don't you want somebody to love" - and Alexis looks like she's on crack. Simon doesn't "think this compeition is right" for her and the judges agree. Randy feels bad for her and leaves her with "PEace, love and chicken grease". Simon likens her to the green goblin from SPiderman and then ALexis goes off and goes insane. All i can say is what ALexis said - "Take it, take it, take it!" she makes certain to give the finger and curse and scream out for a long, long, long time.
Haven't we seen this whole thing before? Tameka from season 1, yes - TA! ME! KA! still told off Simon better than anyone else.
American Idol Live Blog!
Ok - it's 8:40 PM and I feel as if we've had a tiny bit of show...
First up: Mark Hayes, who sings "I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas" - definite idol material, right? NO? Ugh...
OH no here comes Udde? - he made his own MC Hammer dance...should be great..nope not great at all. He has a "mindset" that he's going to come out and win. Note to self: "The Secret" won't help you on American Idol. And he sings "My Way" all on one note. Simon says "Plainly, singing won't be part of your career". Udde doesn't get it and asks to sing again...NEXT!
Next up, the freak show montage set to "I Love Rock and Roll"....cue the shocked judge reactions....the hopelessly horrible singers...costume acts...and if you've ever seen American Idol than you've seen this before. And you know what - it was funny the first 4 seasons but now it's just tired and boring.
More commercials! YAY! Can you believe people are paying upwards of $700k for a 30-sec act? WOW! For this...gotta love America!
American Idol Live Blog!
Ok next commerical break over...
- Sybill gave Jennifer Hudson a boost with a terrible rendition of "Love You I Do"
- Jose sang a spanish "Unbreak My Heart" - ok...he's going to HW.
- TEMPTRESS BROWN: a female linebacker who looks like she more than meets the weight requirement. They did a sad story angle - her mom is very sick (too-much-food-itis). Am i heartless or just used to seeing these sad stroy background pieces on AI? Anyway - she's singin "I'm Not Goin Nowhere??" aka "And I Am Telling You". But then she sang it was so bad! AWWW - now she's crying and I feel bad for her. The judges all give her a hug and walk her out, SIMON'S idea - shock! - and they made her feel good. Forgive me for my cyniscism but is this a reaction to last years criticism that the judges were too mean? Hmmmmm...
By the way...does anyone else REALLY want to see "The Moment of Truth" where they ask embarassing questions to contestants and all they have to do is answer truthfully (they have a lie detector). When they have an obese woman ask a skinny male "Are you disgusted by fat people?" - you can see him SQUIRM! And who can't wait to see what happens when they ask someone "Are you really concerned about the starving children in Africa?"

Well we're blogging the AI first episode tonite in Philadephia - so far:
-We saw a guy who lost 204 pounds go through to Hollywood. Losing the weight was a huge feat, but I don't think he's got IT. Nonetheless, e's going to Hollywood where everyone will tell him he needs to lose more weight.
-We saw ALEF? A Borat look-alike who looks like he's just happy to be there and make sexy time with Paula..Not going to H'Wood
- Next was James who looks perfectly nice in a suit, who when sings sounds like a retarded preacher.
So far, kind of the same old same old...bad auditions and thousands of people eager to get on the show.
Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman Thinks Tiger Woods Should Be 'Lynched'!
New year, new racist remark! Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman has apologized after saying during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."
Top 10 Moments on The I Love NY 2 Reunion!
Well, not quite worth all the hype but I Love New York 2: Reunion was not a complete disappointment. Here's our list of the Top 10 Moments from the show:
10. Someone in the audience calls Sister Patterson "Dragula"!
9. We were on the edge of our seat when Sister Patterson went behind a curtain with Wolf to do a...shall we say "equipment inspection". The curtain was even see-through so we possibly might have gotten a silhouette of Wolf's self-proclaimed "hugeness"! But alas, again, Wolf copped out and said he doesn't pull it out unless he's going to use it. Hmmp - guess we'll just have to wait till next year when Wolf is broke and needs money and does a porno!
8. Champion is revealed as Sister Patterson's new lover to which everyone in the audience reaches under their chair for their vomit bags. Champion merely sits there smiling like, "don't worry I'm getting paid for this".
7. Revenge of Mama and Pappa "Entertainer"! We admit we felt bad when New York ejected Frank, "The Entertainer", by calling him and his whole family a bunch of losers. You could see they were visibly upset at being treated so viciously, but then the reunion rolls around and Frank's mom let "Mr. Patterson" have it. Pappa Entertainer even gets in one on NY when after she litterally shows her ass he yells - "Your asss looks just like your face!"
6. Midget Mack comes across as the most decent, clean and normal person on the show
5. After New York goes into one of her tired tirades trying to explain her actions on the show, Buddha quickly jumps up and declares "Ladies and Gentleman, New York!"
4. After being applauded by New York and LaLa for his restraint in not killing Tailor Made when he was spat upon, Mr. Wise quickly erases that honor by bum-rushing the stage and onto Tailor Made for one of the stupidest fights on TV.
Note to producers: If you're doing trash TV, then just do it! There was no reason to cut out the fighting and the aftermath cause you know that's why we watch this show in the first place!
3. The entire 'It' segment! He may be a faker but he's a damn good faker!
2. A day in the life of "The Entertainer" - Poor Frank! 30 years old (if you believe him) and still at home raking leaves and doing chores. Living in the basement of your parents house is not a good way to impress a girl - even New York!
1. Tailor Made and New York prove their romance is completely, totally and undeniably FAKE! The forced kisses, New York's "tearful" declaration about how happy she was he came on to the show, all of it is contrived. Does anyone at all believe that New York would EVER be interested in TM?
Our theory is that this development in NY's love life will give producers enough time to get Flavor of Love 3 out and give NY a rest till the eventual announcement that TM and NY have broken up and then we'll have....I Love New York 3!
What did you all think of the big reunion?
The Golden Globes 2008 - a Hollywood nightmare
We have come to appreciate the Golden Globes as the most exciting award show of the season. The dinner party, the laid-back vibe, the drunken acceptance speeches. What will we do now? As the writer's strike looms on it continues to effect everything we know and love. On Monday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and NBC were forced to create an "acceptable" show format, or the show would be picketed by the WGA. They are scrapping the traditional celeb filled dinner party! It is reported by the Associated Press that the show set to air this Sunday will take on a "Dateline NBC" format: interviews with the nominees, a news conference announcing the winners and coverage of the after parties. This means no fabulous fashion, no crazy acceptance speeches, no excitement about finding out which celebs are friendly with one another. Just a news conference. The nominated actors confirmed that if the Globes took on it's normal format and the WGA had a picket line they would absolutely not cross it. As boring as this revamped format is I must say, in an industry where every man is out for the dollar it is nice to see a act of solidarity such as this one.
Tom Cruise Named No 2 in Scientology,Now After David Beckham
Andrew Morton's unauthorized biography claims Scientology has taken over the 45-year-old actor's life, with its officials selecting many of the staff at his Hollywood mansion. Claims Tom is the organization's second-in-command in all but name, involved in every aspect of planning and policy. Next "mission" is to recruit David and Vicki Beckham.

New York's New Year's Eve Triangle
We've all heard the rumors, seen the pictures and are anxiously awaiting the reunion. However based on the events from New Year's in Miami we don't have to wait for the drama. It is reported by Page Six that New York was out with her man Tailor Made at Club Tenjune and who shows up but bitter runner up Buddha (aka Mr. Hell Date). Apparently the two men got into a brawl (if we can call it that, because I'm sure it was a one sided fight) over Ms. NY and Buddha had to be escorted from the premises. Whether this is a PR ploy or the real deal who will ever know, but we love the entertainment these people provide. Listen to our show this Thursday when we will be dishing ALL the dirt on the reunion show and behind the scenes!
Thanks to thybf.com for the pic.
Lenny's daughter and her hair
We LOVE Lenny Kravitz. How can you not? It pains me to post this pic but it is necessary. His daughter is seen here with her boyfriend, actor Ben Foster. What is going on with her hair? I am sorry but this is unacceptable. We have all had bad hairs days and for those of us with a coarser texture it can be challenging, but this is ridiculous. Lil' Kravitz you are entirely too cute and wealthy to have this look.
Britney's ambulance ride
As we reported earlier Brit Brit was hospitalized after acting a damn fool and not returning her children as scheduled to K-Fed. I thought it was necessary for you guys to get a look at how she looked in the infamous ambulance ride. If she does not look like an unfit mother here, I don't know what else to call it. It seems to me she was sniffing or drinking some inappropriate substances to have her kids in the house. PLEASE let these kids stay with their father and have some idea of a stable life Britney.
Britney Spears Needs To Go Away!
The fact of the matter is that Britney needs to go away from L.A. and the spotlight and get some help. Let K-Fed be Mr. Mom and let Britney get it together. It's just sickening to see a completely insane woman out of control be hounded by the world.
We now, sadly, must agree with that freakish YouTube post by the crazed Britney fan who declared "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE"! This girl will most certainly end up like Anna Nicole Smith if someone doesn't have her committed and get her in a hospital.

All the acts that lost major label deals in 2007
Interesting article from EW.com:
As we embark on this fresh, new year, we thought it a good time to take stock of all the artists (or as many as we could remember — like JC Chasez, pictured) who lost their major label deals during a tumultuous 2007. Some were dropped, others had contracts expire, and many were simply caught up in consolidation and closings. Of course, several have found new homes already, but plenty of bands are free agents. What does it mean for the music business in '08? Are more casualties on the way? Besides the Radioheads and White Stripes of the world, do you see a future for any of these acts? Any noteworthy acts we left off the list?
We highlighted the ones that we know and think are notable..
