Hollyweird Week Begins

Finally…what we’ve all been waiting for…

No, not the results of Dannielynn’s paternity test...

Yes, my friends, it’s Hollywood time on American Idol. After some rather painful…ok, I’m going to say it…shiteous tv, we finally get to see the talent. It was so bad, I wasn’t even motivated to write to you all about it. The single funniest moment from the painful weeks was a good one though…the girl that asked where Simon was from, and Ryan replied, “Well, Simon is British”…and she started ranting… “Well, he needs to get back to British, and leave us American’s alone”. Funny for the obvious…and also because he brought the show to the US. J Later, Seacrest made more references to “My friend, Simon, from British, Paula from LA, and Randy from everywhere”… very cute.

Before we go any further…Woo Hoo and a big “That a Girl” for my favorite American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood. She won 2 Grammys on Sunday night and the coveted “Best New Female Artist” award was a huge nod by the industry at her acceptance. (or so they wrote on the internet). Anyway, I saw her interviewed several times this weekend and that is the award she most wanted out of the award season. To have a country artist recognized in that category was huge. (Albeit, her Eagles tribute band performance, was a clear “cross-over” performance…until they linked her back up with Rascal Flatts.) I was so surprised to see a music show that I actually had a lot of the performer’s music on my IPOD. I love John Mayer, but Simon Cowell would definitely give him a rash of “that’ is simply hideous” in reference to his “orgasmic” facial expressions. Did you hear that when Ryan Seacrest stopped Mayer on the red carpet and asked him about Jessica, he answered in fluent Japanese??? Awesome. They translated it across the bottom of the screen. “She is a beautiful woman, and you would be the last person I would speak about her to”. Sting. Speaking of Sting…God is he still hot. It’s like the other Police band members accelerated their aging process and Sting is frozen in time. Yow-zah.

So, Hollyweird…here we come. All those golden tickets and plane rides to California…except for 2. The “good cousin” (remember the 2 guys, and one was bad and the other good). Well, good, it seems is a relative term, especially in the eyes of the law when marijuana is involved. Seems ‘good cousin’ likes his good-time weed. So, out of the competition he goes. And that girl they gave a second chance to…the little cute girl they chased down in the hallway and brought back…seems she did some property damage to a boyfriend’s stuff. Mmm…not sure if she if officially bounced yet, as these charges were dropped. We’ll see.

Buzz on the streets is that we are going to see some amazing talent. That’s why they showed so much crap. They wanted to build the anticipation. Some viewers, like myself, like to see from the beginning, the nobody that eventually wins. I want to be able to buy that AI Season ___fill in the blank___ DVD, and see the winner as the reject they started out! Bad makeup, 25 lbs. heavier and with bad clothes before they got ‘famously remodeled’.

So, the journey really begins tonite. Lots of drama to come. You know they will play up those girlfriends and who makes it and who doesn’t. And the sister and brother act. Can’t wait. By the way, there is a girl from Fairfield in the top 40 selected. (The show we watch tonite is not live, of course…all taped). Her name is Olivia.

Alrighty…enjoy tonite. And tomorrow night they reveal the Top 24. It’s time to pay attention because the American Idol Pool entry forms are on their way! Last year, it was a $1.00 entry fee. People want it to be more this year. Boost the pot a bit (sorry ‘good cousin’ not that kind of pot). So, I’d like feedback from you…Is $3.00 your limit…or is a 5-spot ok with you?
