Two of my favorite things!!!

Ohio State Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel has said he'll only let the 5 players who got busted by the NCAA last week play in their bowl game if they promise to return to school next year and skip the NFL. Leads me to this.

Famous lies
"I am not a crook." Richard Nixon
"Iraq has WMD's." George Bush
"I'm retiring." Brett Favre/Urban Meyer
"We are coming back to school next year." OSU players


This was on CNN: Source: Rihanna is single
This is on my blog: Source: Rihanna has no talent

What else can we put in the trash....

Sources are reporting some early work by Amy Winehouse has been found in a trash can in London. My opinion is everything ever done by Amy Winehouse should be in a trash can in London.

HEADLINE: BUILDING EXPLODES IN DETROIT. Or as they like to call it in Detroit "Wednesday."

The Lohan's are planning on suing the director of a movie called "Dogs in Pocketbooks" as they think the movie is making fun of Lindsay. The movie is about a spoiled starlet with addiction problems who goes in and out of rehab. Michael Lohan says the producer should call Lindsay to get his facts straight. Sounds like he has them straight to me....

Who's on the hit list today???

The newest batch of films to be preserved include "Airplane" and "The Empire Strikes Back". Good choices! For those of you hoping "Burlesque" gets the preservation treatment, well, don't hold your breath.

And speaking of how Christina Aguilera's career is over, her video for "Not Myself Tonight" was voted worst video of the year. Video??? I can't even say I've heard of the song!

Sales are really bad for Jennifer Aniston's new perfume. I guess people don't want to smell like desperation...

Val Kilmer owes the IRS roughly $500,000, which is just about the equivalent of his weekly food bill...

AI chart toppers!!!

American Idol winner Lee DeWyze and American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox both put out albums and with the sales figures in....the runner-up managed to outsell the winner! Final tally was 3 to 2.

Have you seen the new Vizio commercial starring Beyonce? I'm not quite sure if she's trying to dance or if she has an itch...

Miley Cyrus says her New Year's Resolution is to dedicate her life to helping others. And to get a new bong.

This would be a great candidate for my Moron of the Week this week. From bozo criminals...in Wigan, England, thieves stole a batch of pies as they were on the way to the World Pie Eating Championships. This would not ordinarily have been newsworthy except for the secret ingredient that the chef had placed into the pies to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy. Viagra. Yep, the chef placed Viagra into the pies to keep the potatoes firm. The local police chief says, and we quote, "the local folk should be on the lookout for a group of hardened criminals."

an extra gift for you!

Vince Vaughn is a dad! Not really surprised as he did look pregnant the last time I saw him.

30 Rock actor Tracy Morgan is recovering from a kidney transplant. I'm recovering as well...from having to sit through an episode of that awful show...

pre-christmas tidings!!!

Christina Aguilera just performed at the birthday party for some Ukrainian millionaire. Well at least there is one small, remote part of the world that still thinks she's relevant...

Jennifer Lopez sued for $10 million in a nuisance lawsuit. Someone apparently listened to her last album...

James Cameron says he's hard at work on a sequel to Avatar. Great news!!! That means the cure for insomnia is closer than we thought!

bah humbug!

Katie Holmes has been offered a roll on Broadway. The stage will have to be on a slant to offset her crooked face.

Wow that was mean...

Cory Monteith from Glee just announced he's joined a new band. I saw a promo picture of the band and if you guessed most of them were wearing skinny jeans, you'd be correct! Tools.


Headline: WILL NICK LACHEY AND VANESSA MINNILLO TO MARY IN ITALY OVER NEW YEAR'S? The bigger question is: Does anyone care?

Leighton Meester is going to leave Gossip Girl in 2012 when her contract expires to focus on her film and music career. She has a film and music career??? Could have fooled me.

Just some ramblings as the snow comes down...

Looks like Kara DioGuardi is going to write a book on her experiences judging American Idol. Gonna be a short book...

Life and Style Magazine is reporting Jessica Simpson is pregnant. She's not pregnant, she's just wearing those hideous "mommy jeans" again...

Back after a brief Xmas vacation!

Lindsay Lohan believes she's being denied driving privileges because the paparazzi are constantly on her tail. Uh, no, it's because she flat out sucks as a driver...

Speaking of worthless, the Kardashians will no longer be promoting a prepaid credit card, over allegations the card is riddled with hidden, possibly illegal fees. A rep for the Kartrashians says they "have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona and if you doubt that, all you have to do it pop in Kim's sex tape to see for yourself."

Jennie McCarthy will be co-hosting "New Year's with Ryan Seacrest" Seacrest said "I was reminded how great Jenny is at live broadcasting when she recently stopped by my radio show. I was also reminded of how awful I am at live broadcasting when I listened to a tape of my radio show."

Are you ugly enough for the Kings of Leon???

The King of Leon are casting for their next video. They are looking for people who are "unattractive," rough around the edges" and/or "a little slow." So they are looking for people who look just like the Kings of Leon then...

Lindsay Lohan is moving. If you thought your car insurance rates were bad before, wait until she moves into your neighborhood!!!

I thought this was funny. A radio station was promoting an interview with some guy who could help you find a job because he was "the unemployment expert." Shouldn't he be "the employemnt expert" then???? If I wanted to hear from "the unemployment expert" I'd just call up my lazy good for nothing brother-in-law Phil....

Oh boy, the usual suspects...

Katy Perry says she's so close with her new mother-in-law, that if she ever got into an argument with husband Russell Brand, his mom would likely take her side. Wonder who's side she'll take in the divorce...

Ashlee Simpson is excited for big sister Jessica and her upcoming wedding. She says "Anything Jessica can do to take the emphasis off how untalented I am is great!"

Justin Bieber is going to perform a new song at the AMA's this weekend. At least you know when to take your bathroom break.

Christina Aguilera says she's going back to the studio to work on a new album. Yeah, cause the last one did real well for ya...

Oh great, another singing show....

Auditions are being held for a "Glee"-style reality show. It'll air on the Oxygen network and the show is looking for "talented young men and women with strong vocal, acting and dancing abilities." Why? They don't even require that on "Glee"

Kelly Osbourne is on the cover of the new Shape magazine -- in a bikini! The reality star dropped 50 pounds by dieting and exercise after getting inspired by her experience on Dancing With the Stars. Before, she just used to drop weight by doing cocaine.

One of the publicists of the movie "Burlesque" was shot just hours after the movie's premiere in Los Angeles. I knew the movie was going to be bad, but damn...

Pop stars, bad movies and more!!!

The biggest new pop star in Japan isn’t even real. She’s an anime type cartoon character who appears in concert as a cutting edge 3-D hologram. Her singing is created with Yamaha’s Vocaloid voice synthesizer...just like with Britney Spears.

HEADLINE: "Justin Bieber thinks he has ADD." Boy, I didn’t realize some of the symptoms of ADD included bad singing and the ability to cause large amounts of people to hate you…

HEADLINE: "Christina Aguilera leans on Cher for advice." Unless it’s advice on plastic surgery I’m not sure I’d listen.

A guy in jail in Florida says he and the other prisoners are being tortured…by having to watching the same movie over and over. Okay, it’d only be torture if they made you watch a Will Farrell movie over and over. Oh, it was a Will Farrell movie??? Now I see his point…

That's not my cocaine...

Demi Lovato's Disney Show "Sonny With a Chance" will get tweaked as she receives "treatment". Apparently the biggest tweak is they are going to eliminate all the cocaine backstage.

Heidi and Spencer says they renewed their vows over the weekend. Heidi says even though they've been married before, this one is for real...real, kinda like "The Hills."

Corey Feldman says the number one question he is asked is "Are you going to do a sequel to the Goonies?" I just always figured the number one question asked of Corey Feldman was "hey, do you have any more blow?"

Just some other odds and ends. I heard they are planning some changes to "Dancing with the Stars". I really hope those changes include assurances they really really bad dancers (Bristol Palin) don't make it to the semifinals.

Harry Potter mania is everywhere and people have even formed Quidditch leagues. Matter of fact, the 4th annual Quidditch Championship was just held in New York. Sad thing is, they already have a steroid controversy.

Who knows, at the rate "The Office" is going...

Miss the show "Park and Recreation" on NBC? Neither do I, but a show runner is saying it could be back as soon as the first of the year.

Jessica Simpson was on with Ryan Seacrest talking about Nick Lachey…boy, right there you have 3 people I could care less about…

HEADLINE: "JC Chasez Scares Off Intruder!" What'd he do? Play for him his solo album?

There is a big rumor that Jennifer Aniston is ready to go topless for Judd Apatow's new film. Boy, can someone say desperation. I get the feeling Aniston is going to be one of those people in about 5 years who just comes up to people and is like "remember me, I used to be on Friends..."

Oh excuse me Amy, the way you were snorting I thought you were Whitney Houston...

I saw this headline. "Is Amy Winehouse Trying To Make a Comback?" Substitute "make a comeback" with "do a line of coke" and then you have an accurate statement.

There's apparently a disorder that makes sufferers fall asleep at the sound of laughter. If you have this and need to stay awake, just pop in a Will Farrell movie.

You might have heard this from earlier in the week, a lady in Minnesota was hit with a 1.5 million dollar fine for downloading 24 songs. What makes this even worse is they were Ashlee Simpson songs...

Celeb birthdays today. Leo DiCaprio is 36, Calista Flockhart is 46 (well that could be her weight) and Demi Moore is 87.

Now I like Pink and it's cool that she might be pregnant, but this always cracks me up. One of the "sources" that revealed to US Weekly that Pink is pregnant says "she'll be a brilliant mother" Okay, just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean she's going to be a great mother. I mean, I sincerely hope she is but I'm sure someone said the same thing about Britney Spears before she had her kids...

Justin, Ke$ha and Britney. Yep, all easy targets!

Justin Bieber is getting ready for the release of his first all-acoustic album, My Worlds Acoustic, for the day after Thanksgiving, but unfortunately, it's only coming out in the United States and Canada. Well unfortunately for the US and Canada…

Ke$ha announced her tour but didn’t announce tour dates. That’s like going to your boss and saying you’ll be on vacation but not telling him when…

One of the producers on Britney Spears new album suffered a studio fire yesterday and all the Britney demo’s were lost. Talk about a sign….

Whitney, Bobby, Dina...

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown are not back together. Geez, you do one line of coke with your ex and people think you are a couple again...

Dina Lohan was back on The Today Show today. She's the one person who can make Kathy Lee look sober...

Jennifer Lopez is warning American Idol contestants to not sing her songs during the audition process. I would think that would go without saying...

Justin Bieber says he wants

Justin Bieber says he wants to a young dad. I guess it beats being an androgynous 16 year old!

Xtina Xpired

Christina Aguilera was just spotted shopping for pumpkins. Apparently this year for Halloween she's going to dress up as someone who still thinks she's relevant in 2010.

Seacrest...

HEADLINE "Hough Family Approves of Ryan Seacrest" Well of course they do, they don't have to worry about him ever touching their daughter...

One more reason to hate on Justin Bieber...

This is a quote from page 26 of his book. "The day I was born, March 1, 1994, Celine Dion was solid at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "The Power of Love." Not a bad song to start your life on."

Some Pop Culture Fun!

I'm sure you've heard Christina Aguilera and her husband, some music executive, are separating. I guess someone had to take the blame for her bad album sales...

Police have detained an intruder who was knocking on Paris Hilton's front door. Police say intruder, Paris says supplier....

Sheryl Crow is going to do a make good performance in Los Angeles because well, she says her last show there sucked. Boy, if all singers had to do that, imagine how many make goods Ashlee Simpson would have to do...

Some political stuff...

Theresa Sparks is running for San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, and she's being attacked as a conservative for opposing a hotel tax and being pro-police. SF Weekly marveled that only in San Francisco would a transgender woman who was born a man and who used to run a sex toy company called Good Vibrations be considered the "conservative" candidate.

Grumpy Should Visit Good Vibrations - Grumpy the Clown, the allegedly illiterate circus clown who was running for Brazil's Parliament on the slogan "It can't get any worse," was not only elected, he got more votes than any other candidate in the nation.

The tabloids!

Boy the tabloids are getting everything wrong today. In Touch Magazine is reporting that Kim Kardashian is dating Michael Copon, who's best known for his role on One Tree Hill. I certainly don’t believe this…this guy doesn’t even play in the NFL…

And what about this one. The National Enquirer is reporting that Whitney Houston is back on drugs and that an intervention is being staged. Reason why the headline is erroneous…it implies she was once off drugs.

This is fantastic!!!

A Seattle-area resident named James Burns has launched a campaign to persuade Weezer to break up. Burns wants to raise $10 million from disappointed fans and others who are willing to actually pay the band to go away. Wonder how much it would take for this to work on Rihanna...

cars cars and more cars

A restaurant worker learned he was about to be fired, so he allegedly torched his supervisor's Ford Thunderbird. Heck, sounds to me like he was doing him a favor…

Reality Show

I saw this new reality show where they talk with people who have escaped from prison. I guess my first thought was if they want to continue to elude capture, maybe appearing on a reality show isn't the best idea...

Remember 98 Degrees???

Nick Lachey is working on a new reality show and no it's not about his love life, it's about his return to the music biz. Well that'll take about one episode...

Conservatorships abound!

Britney Spears was in court today concerning her conservatorship, but today is not about ending the conservatorship. Apparently the judge will only do that when Britney is able to spell conservatorship...

Who loves moonshine???

The Today Show is planning on giving some exposure to Tennessee's "White Lighting" tour of moonshine history. Kathie Lee is hoping they'll do samples...

Some quick hits...

I saw this headline…”In case you missed it, Nicole Ritchie was on Good Morning America this morning” Yeah, I missed it…

Rapper Pall Wall Apologizes To Fans For Microphone Beating Incident….although he still hasn’t apologized for his career…

Justin Bieber has just launched a new website featuring all kinds of exclusive Bieber merchandise, including teddy bears, clothes and even singing action figures! Don’t worry, they sing just as bad as the real life version.

If they get rid of the Situation next week I'll be really ticked!

Seems like all my favortites are getting the boot early. Michael Bolton got the lowest score last night on Dancing with the Stars and it looks like he'll be heading home tonight. This follows right on the heels of David Hasselhoff getting sent home last week.

Your daily dose of Lohan

There is talk Lindsay Lohan's mom could head up a conservatorship to basically take care of Lindsay as she goes through rehab for the 35th time. In the conservatorship, Lindsay's mom would handle things like her money, which should be easy as there really aren't too many ways to divide up zero.

Lip-synching songs that were lip-synched

The Britney Spears episode of Glee airs tonight on Fox at 8. I never thought I'd say this but I think I'll see what's on the CW instead...

Yay! It's Monday!!!

Enjoy some thoughts from the last couple of days and if you see a sponsor you like, feel free to check them out!

This really cracked me up this weekend. I was listening to Nichole and she was talking out of an Ashley Simpson song. She said "Ashlee Simpson has a new album coming out and it's not what you think." My first thought was "What, it's good?" All kidding aside, and it's tough to do when talking about Ashlee, her next album is a folk album. That will do to folk music what Melrose Place did to Monday night programming on the CW.

I want to mention this but I really don't want to make too much fun of the situation because it's tragic and he was a great philanthropist. Jim Heselden, the owner of the Segway company died after riding his Segway off a cliff into a river.

This is Fergie. She makes millions. Apparently with all that money she can't afford a mirror!



Katy Perry all set to appear on a Christmas-themed Simpson episode. Sad thing is the Simpsons are more real than most of the parts on Katy Perry's body.

Lindsay Lohan is going to check herself into rehab. You know what they say, 9th time is the charm!

And she's off to jail!!!

Here are my thoughts on what's shaking in the entertainment world today. Appreciate everyone checking in. Of course feel free to hit up a sponsor or two, which you'll find at the bottom and on the side.


Lindsay Lohan taken into custody earlier today after failing two drugs tests. It was expected she would be able to post bail and stay free until the actual hearing on the failures in October, but nope, she was hauled off in cuffs. Turns out some of her former co-stars actually sent a letter to the judge begging her to not send Lindsay to jail. Here's an excerpt from that letter.

Dear Judge Fox,

I am writing you in regards to Lindsay Lohan. I have had the pleasure to get to know her very well and have endured the past year with her through her highs and lows. I am desperate to get this message to you. She is working really hard to be better and has done everything possible to stay healthy and clean.

Let's look at that last part. "working really hard to be better and had done everything possible to stay healthy and clean." I guess everything possible means doing a few lines of blow.

American Idol has the perfect opportunity to make a great tv moment a blew it when they caved in to their newest diva. Turns out Jennifer Lopez's first ex-husband was going to audition for the show in LA, in front of J-Lo and even perform one of her songs. Well Lopez made it very clear to Fox she didn't want him there and Fox threatened to arrest him if he showed up, so he stayed away. Much like viewers will this season when the show starts.

Never realized Britney Spears once covered the song "I Love Rock and Roll" Well that cover was voted the worst cover song ever. Not that anyone is really surprised.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the sponsors at the bottom and side.

Random Thursday thoughts...

There's more evidence Ashton Kutcher is cheating on wife Demi Moore. Some implicating text messages have surfaced from Ashton's mistress. However, throughout all this, Demi Moore is sticking by her man. Why? Sources say being married to Ashton makes her seem hot and keeps her in the spotlight. Okay, if you're hitching your wagon to Ashton Kutcher to stay relevant, you have bigger problems than your man cheating.

Feel free to click on some of the sponsors you see!

Boy the news continues to get worse for Jennifer Aniston. Her movie career is in flames and her TV career might end up the same. She guest-starred on the season premiere of "Cougar Town", you know the show with her former friends star Courtney Cox. Ratings were WAY down from last year. On top of all that, reps for John Mayer have emphatically and I repeat emphatically denied John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are a couple. I can remember in the hayday of Friends where if someone linked you with Aniston, you were like "yeah, were hooking up." Now people flee from her like a burning building. What's the first thing a dude does when photographed with her? He says "we're not dating!" Oh well, at least she was vastly overpaid for Friends....

One new TV show already looks like it's gonna get the axe. Some show on Fox called Lonestar. The restaurant is good, the TV show, not so much...

Wednesday rumblings...

The official announcement came out earlier today. Joining Randy Jackson as judges on Idol will be Stephen Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. Not only was this totally no surprise but it's almost as underwhelming as Lee DeWyze...

Jennifer Lopez says she really thinks this season she'll be able to discover the next Michel Jackson. They'll be lucky to discover the next Taylor Hicks....

I always thought the frontman for the group The Cars was the ugliest dude in music, that is until I saw the Kings of Leon. And their lead singer is going to marry a model. Come on, this guy is so dirty looking Robert Pattison was overheard saying "Man, that guy needs to shower."

Tuesdays thoughts...

Brandy did really well on Dancing with the Stars. I'm just glad she isn't on Driving with the Stars...

I saw this headline. "Will Russell Brand be banned from the US?" Apparently immigration officials finally got around to watching "Get Him to the Greek"

VH1 is bringing back the reality show "I Love Money", which features contestants from past dating shows competing for cash. The show was pulled off the air when one of the contestants murdered his wife. A spokesman for VH1 says the show "is focusing more on the competition and absolutely will not cast murderers. Burglars, hijackers and rapists, though, are encourage to apply."

And just a note here on the new Idol judges. We should get the official word tomorrow but we all know Jennifer Lopez will be on the panel. Turns out her first ex-husband plans to be in LA to audition for the show in front of her and will even perform one of her songs. I don't watch AI but this would get me to tune in!!!

Don''t forget one of the great work-at-home opportunities that helps sponsor Blue Funk Broadcasting. www.freedom104.com. Check it out!

So how bout them Cowboys????

You know I actually think the Cowboys might stand a chance to win a few games since Kim Kardashian and Cowboys player Miles Austin have broken up. Although I would prefer the team to go winless. Quarterback Tony Romo is one of those guys who you can look at and just tell his IQ is in the single digits. Don't feel bad for Kim K, though, scratching the Saints and the Cowboys, there are still 30 other NFL teams with players she can date.

Lindsay Lohan's friends were shocked when Lindsay tweeted "I'm prepared to face the consequences". They were shocked because most of her friends figured she couldn't spell consequences.

A British guy has had ten children with ten different women! The Indiana Pacers are looking at trying him out at small forward...

So what do Lindsay Lohan and TI have in common? They can't stay clean!!! Yep, Lindsay, who has to submit to drug testing quite frequently, has failed not one but two drugs tests. Now I'm writing this Friday night and while a judge or the court hasn't officially made a statement, most entertainment websites are saying these test failures are true. For Lindsay, the first failure was for cocaine, the second hasn't been specified. The judge did say previously any failure would result in 30 days in jail...that's 30 days for each failure. That's a total of 60 days, which means in LA, she'll end up serving about 20 hours. Figured I'd cap this off with a nice Lindsay joke...

Lindsay Lohan calls Delta Airlines and asks, “Can you tell me how long it’ll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?” The agent replies, “Just a minute…” “Thank you,” Lindsay says, and hangs up.

So the big "secret" is finally out next Wednesday. We'll know who the new judges are on American Idol. Well, barring a last second curve ball, it'll be Jennifer Lopez and Stephen Tyler. Quick, try and think when either of them were relevant to pop culture. Certainly has been awhile, although Lopez tries as she keeps releasing music no one wants to hear or buy. We know people still watch the show but it doesn't generate the water cooler talk it used to and it most certainly doesn't create an icon in American culture. The days of creating an actual American Idol are just about over. But how about this for a thought. Forget about the judges, focus on talent! What they are putting on the show now would barely qualify as talent on a low end cruise ship. It's akin to phone company, when getting complaints on reception, focus instead on redesigning the car charger. It all begins and ends with the talent.

I saw where Kim Kardashian is angry over an inflatable sex doll. Look, in this situation the only thing she should be worried about is the doll being smarter than she is.

In case you want to wear a "meat dress" like Lady Gaga, here's some help. Designer Franc Fernandez says this is what you do to make it happen. "Go to your butcher, get some good cuts and start sewing." Gee, thanks Einstein.

Thursdays thoughts...

The Whitney Houston movie "Waiting to Exhale" will get a sequel. If it stars Whitney it'll be called " Waiting for the Buffet"

There's a report Britney Spears could be back in control of her finances soon. Someone wrote "well let's just hope she uses her money to finally get a good stylist"

Fort Wayne is number 3 on the list of cities with the most sex. I wonder if that is with or without a partner...

Wednesdays buzz

Zac Efron admits he cries during movies. He must have watched himself in High School Musical...

Fox claims someone is sabotaging American Idol. Yeah, it's the people who let David Cook, Kris Allen and Lee DeWyse on the show!

Justin Bieber says he is "kind of trying " to stay single. I'm "kind of trying" not to listen to him.

Ryan Seacrest says he's off the market. Too bad he's not off the radio...

Tuesday ramblings...

Jordin Sparks gets bit by a pitbull. See, I'm not the only one who can't stand her music...

My buddy Kasey hit me up asking me if I knew what Crabfest was all about here in Ft. Wayne. I said I didn't know but I bet it involves Paris Hilton.

(along those same lines) John Mayer getting rid of his twitter. Now if he could only get rid of those pesky STD's...

Wednesday ramblings...

A new promo for Justin Bieber's appearance on CSI claims Justin "will make you scream!" You know, kind of like when you hear his music...

Paris Hilton is going to do a reality show with Charlie Sheen's ex. It's going to be called "Guess Where I Hit the Drugs"

Jennifer Aniston is now dating some dude named Harry Morton, who is best known for dating Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Can't believe this Harry guy is lowering his standards...

American Idol producers say they'll "be in Los Angeles September 22 to look for their next star" They've been looking since 2005....

Headline: "Kelly Osbourne is super skinny" Well, yeah, that's what cocaine will for ya. How do you think Whitney Houston stayed skinny for all those years...

Blink 182 says their new album will be "modern, relevant, fast and fun" I think the words they meant were crappy, lousy, god-awful and "the worst piece of music recorded in the history of man"

Wednesday musings...

New study shows that heavy drinkers outlive non-drinkers. Oh great, Lindsay Lohan will live forever. I know, I know, it was too easy. Feel free to sub in Amy Winehouse when you tell this to your friends, that is if you still remember who Amy Winehouse is.

A man with a gun entered The Discovery Channel headquarters. Man, why couldn't it have been the CW???

MTV and foursquare are teaming up for a promotion letting you get a special badge for checking in at the STD clinic. hahahaha...look, I'm now the mayor of gonorrhea!

Rihanna is the latest "celeb" to be immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds. Just imagine how much wax they had to use for the forehead...

It's a slow Tuesday...

Lindsay Lohan says her clubbing days are behind her. She also says she'll seek out an experienced plastic surgeon to take care of her ever-expanding nose.

Lindsay Lohan says "I want my career back. I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies" Uh, Lindsay, "Herbie Fully Loaded" doesn't qualify as a great movie...

A psychologist is urging the European Union to ban television and severely ration it for other youngsters. Hmmm, they must have just gotten "The Jersey Shore"

Some Monday stuff for ya!

There was this rumor Conan O'Brien could be in legal trouble if he said something funny at the Emmy's. Good thing Jimmy Fallon doesn't have to worry about that. No, not legal trouble, but saying something funny.

The Russian heat wave and grain export ban could force beer prices to rise %40!!! Great, looks like it's back to sniffing glue.

And this from my buddy Will Roman's facebook...

Selena Gomez's album is called "A Year Without Rain".... It should have been more appropriately titled "An Album Without Hits"....

This was a response...

You obviously don't have any girls in the 7-12 age range.

And the reply from Will...

Correct -- I'm "Will Roman", not "Roman Polanski"....

Some topical humor (updated almost every day...almost)

Headline: Paris Hilton's boyfriend stopped intruder with a gun. Total lie, probably stopped him by flashing a copy of "The Hottie and the Nottie"

American Idol producers say they have never used auto-tune to make contestants sound better. Exhibit A in their defense: Lee Dewyze

Paul Reubens, better known as Pee Wee Herman is 58 today. Whatever he does to celebrate, I hope it doesn't involve going to a movie...

Dockers Free Pants

Dockers Free Pants

You might think there were way too many men without pants in last nights Super Bowl commercials. Very true, but one commercial is really making an impact, the Dockers Free Pants commercial. They are giving away free pants in a raffle where you go to the website, enter in some info and you see if you won. Even if you don't get a free pair, you'll still get a 15% off coupon.

Why won't reality stars go away?

This one caught my eye earlier today. Melissa Rycroft, who was the woman basically dumped at the last second on The Bachelor, got a gig as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. She's also been doing some work for Good Morning America. So you're wondering what kind of skill set does Melissa Rycroft have to be a reporter for these shows? The correct answer is none! Absolutely zero, which is painfully obvious if you watch her. The only thing she has ever done was appear on The Bachelor and garner some symphathy because she was dumped...which shouldn't be that big of an issue as she was dating someone herself while on the show. Oh, excuse me, she said they "broke up" beforehand but are now back together and are going to get married. The moral here. Let's stop giving jobs to undeserving people. Melissa Rycroft has done absolutely nothing to merit these gigs. Certainly being a reporter on ET isn't difficult as all you do is cover the latest installment of Twlight, but hiring her to be a reporter is on the same level as casting Ashlee Simpson in a tv show. Let's start having some standards and remember being on a reality show doesn't mean you have talent.

So today was the day Michael Jackson's doctor was to be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Didn't happen but look for it to happen soon. I'm all for celebrity doctors being penalized for basically peddling drugs but we don't want to overlook the bigger issue here. Dr. Conrad Murray did not force MJ to inject huge doses of drugs. Matter of fact if Dr. Murray didn't give drugs to MJ, some other doctor would. We need to stop giving these celebrities who die of drug overdoses free passes. It was not the doctor's fault, it was their fault! From Heath Ledger, to Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson and Brittney Murphy...the celebrities need to be held accountable, not the doctors. What we need to do is stop putting these celebs on pedestals where we believe they can do no wrong. Remember when YOU were ultimately responsible for YOUR own actions??? I guess that's still case, UNLESS you a celeb who happens to overdose on drugs.

Just a quick thought on Beyonce winning way too many Grammys this past weekend. First of all we all know the best song of 2009 was the Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling". Hands down, no questions asked. Second, she won some sort of songwriting Grammy when it is well known in the music industry that her writing music is the biggest fraud since the Gyllenhall's being considered good actors. Her manager (daddy) pays the legit songwriters to include her name on the songwriting credits. She receives extra money (like she needs it) and receives accolades she doesn't deserve. I just hope in 2010 she doesn't have a song as annoying as "Single Ladies".

American Idol: Event TV versus Pop Superstar Creator

I feel like I always needs to preface things by saying "I"m not a fan of such and such". Well, I'm not a fan of American Idol and firmly believe if any of the contestants on the show had any talent, they wouldn't need a game show to get a record deal. Blink 182, which is beyond awful, earned a record deal the old fashioned way and you're telling me Kelly Clarkson can't? Regardless, since the Carrie Underwood season, we've seen AI produce a crop of winners that couldn't sell out a concert in a phone booth.

It used to be with American Idol you had a chance to actually create the next pop superstar. But since 2005, American Idol is just event television and that's it. Sure it gets huge ratings but it does absolutely nothing to create a superstar that we care about once the finale airs. It's now become a television show and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. We love the drama of the competition, we love the drama between the judges, but once the winner is announced, we could care less.

Let's look at this season. We are 4 weeks in and it's painfully obvious at this point that whoever wins has absolutely no chance of selling any albums. Is there any buzz about any of the contestants? Nope! The only buzz is about Pants on the Ground. Too bad "General" Larry Platt can't teach the current crop of contestants about charisma, talent and stage presence.

So what is American Idol in 2010? It's a show we still watch but it's a show we have no emotional investment in once the season wraps up. The days of AI creating the next pop superstar are over. And you wonder why Simon is leaving? He is well aware of this as he's typically ahead of the curve. He knew this years ago.
