More on Pauler...

All I can say is this woman is a whack job. She's like an older version of Britney and Lindsay rolled into one. Which brings me to a big question for you, my gentle readers (remember when Dear Abby called people Gentle Readers? so weird). Should we watch Pauler's reality show this summer, Straight Up? I don't know.
Anyway, she is a CryBaby like that little girl in the audience on Idol. Hey, you know, I have a whole new appreciation for Ryan Seacrest because the lady that moderates ON THE LOT is shiteous. WTF? Who is she sleeping with? I think I am having American Idol withdrawels. I got 3 Entertainment Weekly Idol Scrapbook issues put on my chair today. I am most certainly known as the biggest AI fan at work. Am I proud of that...sure, beats being known as "stinky girl" or "annoying girl". And we all know who they are, right Suki???? ha ha.
Anyway, I hope you watch ON THE LOT with me. It's going to have some good fighting, I can tell. And Carrie Fisher is more fun that Pauler. I didn't like guest director guy, I don't know what happened to Brett Ratner. Famous Julian has met Brett a couple of times, so I will call him for scoop tomorrow. You know, we don't call Julian "famous" for nothing. He is connected. Today, I was on a conference call with him, and he said, "Hey, do you hear that noise?" Yes, we did, and he told us it was the Price IS Right audience lining up outside the CBS Studios to go in and tape the show. They whip them into a frenzy in this weird alleyway outside Julian's office. I've been there, and it's so unglamourous (this side lot of CBS, not Famous Julian's office), I think my company's mailroom is nicer. But Famous Julian has a bird's eye view of the mayhem from his famous digs at his design firm. Now famous Julian is blushing because he reads the blog every morning, and I love this chance to embarrass the shit out of him. HA. Morning Jules!!!

ON THE LOT...this viewers review

Today I got an email from someone that has been a silent lurker on the blog. Says he is a big fan, and doesn't usually email strangers, but I seemed nice enough. LOL. Goes to show you, don't believe everything you read. I am quite an actress on this blog...except to my co-workers of course. They know I am a kook in real life. I digress.
Anyway, I promised "stranger x" that I would rush home and watch all my episodes of ON THE LOT on the Tivo, just because he wanted to know my opinion. Now how many times a day do you constantly try to voice your opinion when it is not asked for...so I had to jump on the opportunity when asked. So, in my humble opinion...here goes nothing...
First let me say, if I didn't have TIVO, this would not be MUST SEE TV. However, since I do have Tivo, it's somewhat entertaining tv, with POTENTIAL. Let me put this into perspective. Right now we are watching the "out of tune slubs" that must have submitted someone else's films to get into this competition. Some of this stuff, as WindyCityNut says, amounts to nothing better than home movies from the mentally challenged. And then there are a few Underwood, Daughtry and Clarkson's in the mix. Some really brilliant film makers. And that, my little blogpound, is why I am urging you to start watching. Here are some other reasons.
1. You haven't missed anything except the field being narrowed down to a number where you can finally get to know people's names.
2. There are some really fun characters in there I can root for I think. Plus a couple of hot guys which is always good for tv.
3. Garry Marshall is a pretty funny old fart.
4. Production values are about as good or better than Ricky Minor and the Band. Great actors play extras.
5. Making movies is an interesting science and it's quite educational to learn what a Director really does.
6. Hollywood is going to be fun to watch, they go to some fun locations and really, the topics have been kind of edgy, not milk toasty. To compare it to Idol, I'd say they aren't stuck on BeeGees week, and have already zipped it up to something better. The one minute comedy films were quite funny...and very interesting.

Ok, now let me, once again, give you my biggest tip of the day. I should charge you for this advice. If you don't already have a DVR (digital video recorder)...brand name and inventor (don't quote me, but I think) is TIVO. But most cable companies and satellite tv companies now offer DVR service. Order it today. Directv offers a box with tivo built in (this is what ColeyB sports in her palatial estate in Vallejo...actually, ColeyB has 2 TIVOs because 80 hours is not enough programming time....and no I am not lying, and yes, I am crazy...see paragraph 1 under "kook". ) If you cannot afford a TIVO I understand but this is no excuse. You need to sell other electronics. You don't need a toaster and microwave. Hold a garage sale this weekend. Got nothing to part with? Offer to sell your neighbors shit for a % of the profit. You simply must liquidate and get a DVR. It's the only way to survive really. I'd sell my dialysis machine for a Tivo, should I need dialysis. Because I'd rather have gunky blood than watch commercials or bad tv. I haven't watched Erica Kane segments of All MY Children in like 2 years. I zip right past that anorexic, botoxed bimbo. Tivo allows you to answer the phone and not miss your favorite scene of any show. Or allows you to yell at your husband for stepping on the cat, pet the cat, give it a treat, and then get back to tv. It really brings harmony to the home. It's a marriage survival tool and time-saver wrapped up in one little metal box, and really, trust me, you must have it. You dont' need a cell phone. Stuck on the side of the road with no phone to call for help? No worries, Tivo is recording that show for you, and you don't really need to rush home.

More later.

Pauler's been spied on...


In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Paula Abdul says:

"I am deeply hurt and extremely disappointed that someone has taken a private telephone conversation that I had with my representatives and released it to the media. This is not only illegal but also highly unethical. While I don't feel a need to justify or explain my conversation, even as a public figure I do feel my privacy has been violated and find this action to be unacceptable."

As first reported by Page Six and posted by Perez Hilton, a secretly taped phone conversation was released today -- which featured a sobbing Abdul discussing her former publicist and their strained relationship. Paula, we're told, is now back with her longtime publicist Jeff Ballard.

Unfortunately for her, the "Idol" judge was in London for the past few days and had no clue about the controversy that was swirling around her until she arrived in the States today.

OK, NOW FOR THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS POSTING ON TMZ....THE FIRST COMMENT IN THE BLOG COLUMN...someone writes:

1. "as posted by Perez Hilton." Its not a scoop for that fat thieving no-talent. For Page Six, yes. For that crook, NO. Who at TMZ is in bed with him that you feel the need to try and constantly promote him!? Distance yourself from him, TMZ...youre known by the company you keep.

Butterfingers let's a great girl slip through his fingers


Tony Romo, Dallas quarterback that fumbled the snap and cost the Cowboys a playoff victory, has let something else slip through his fingers...my girl Carrie. And you know what? She says, "nope, I will not be shelved this season, I thought we were moving to a commitment, but if you can't balance me and football, then okey dokey, I'll be out in the parking lot carving MY NAME INTO YOUR LEATHER SEATS!!! You big meanie." Of course, Carrie doesn't cuss, so we can't call him a loser asshole because Carrie wouldn't say that.
Carrie, take my advice, quarterbacks are a dime a dozen. Find a real man that will let you shine like the diamond you are, not compete for the spotlight. Do not go for one of those dumb Bachelor losers on ABC. Or Trailer HIcks. Or Derek Jeter. Or John Mayer. Find a nice guy like Christina Aguilera did. Or someone like Nick Lachey. Not Ryan Seacrest either. No rehab flunkies like Howie Day, or any leftovers from Brit, LiLo or anyone headed to jail.
I'll get back to you with a list of prospects. Thanks Hopey for the tip!

BEST WEEK EVER Show...omg, it's funny

Ok, so this show is on VH1. I tivo'd in because I fear having nothing to watch on tv now that Idol is over and everything is on hiatus. And if I don't have unisex programming on the "now playing" list on TIVO, I am forced to watch "Pimp my Ride", Overhauling or some shitty car restoration show. Yes, I married a car dude.

Anyway, BEST WEEK EVER turns out to be like a funny spin on like Extra or Access Hollywood shows...or even "E! Weekend Update" hosted by Ryan Seacrest. and they make alot of fun of Ryan. Ok, so since this already aired, I am going to run through some of the stories, and try to do them justice in my recap. Swear to God I was dying laughing.

In recapping the Idol Finale, they made fun of the fact that they sucked 2 hours of your life away, only for TIVO to cut it off at the end...and they made the little TIVO noise just as they were about to announce Jordin and froze the screen. Hilarious. One comedienne said "They thawed out Smokey Robinson. Now I kNOW Black don't crack, but that dude look 4 years old." And then they showed that fat black chicken lady, kissing Ryan...cut to a comedienne saying "Ryan kisses that woman and goes "OOHHhhH..so that's what a woman tastes like...it takes like chicken."
And then they show a clip where Nigel Lithgoe says "they would have loved to have Britney Spears on the finale, but they don't lipsynch on Idol..." BURN..and then the comedienne comes on and says "ok, so they will help out the Caveman from the Geico commercial (cut to Barry Gibbs on stage), but not poor Britney...seems unfair wouldn't you say" LOL....f'ing hysterical. I'm sorry I know my recap is lame, but really...it was funny, I hope you didn't have to be there. They made fun of the wind storm in Sanjaya's hair...said a bad Noreaster blew in. And the final joke...they showed all the African choir kids dancing and said, "And Brangelina's children did a nice performance. How sweet." Ha ha ha. HILARIOUS> Try to catch it on reruns. They also poked alot of fun at Paula Abdul. Called her a hero for saving her dog from harm...harm from Paula Abdul. Suh-weet.

Hey Amy...stop poking fun at Daughtry's BoyBurns. He can't go changing his image yet, he hasn't even finished his first tour. He needs some down time, some red wine and he's mighty fine...so leave him be. Atleast he isn't going through a "I'm a black man now" phase like your boy JTimberlake did there for a while. Sizzle......burn... Ouch. Sorry...:(

Shout out to Milwaukee girl that emailed me today on the Daughtry pick mission...she can't make it to the concert this year, or she'd try to get me a pick from the stage. She suggested maybe WindyCityNut might go up there! Isn't it funny how people are tracking people on this blog? I love our little community.

Whale Update: They hauled ass back to the ocean last night...left like little thieves in the night, snuck under the Golden Gate Bridge under the cloak of darkness, as the reporters said. Some people are frustrated and tired of hearing about the whales. And really, I was complaining too. I mean I miss the reports of the gunshot victims in Oakland, the daily dead bodies washing up in the Bay, really long for those hourly updates from the Scott Petersen trial. I wish those damn whales had stayed for atleast another month. It was so nice to be tracking a momma and her calf, instead of tracking a serial killer or something. What's wrong with people? Anyway, they are gone, so it's back to doom and gloom no doubt, unless Sharon Stone is back in town, in which case she is sure to show up drunk somewhere with Mayor Gavin Newsome. Local humor, I suppose.

Tomorrow is Thirsty Thursday. I'll start the day off with Bailey's in my coffee, Bloody Mary's at 10:30...burgers and beer at lunch, and wind down with tequila shots in the copy room around 3:00. Good times.

Trailer Hicks has a new Chick

Ooh, shade my eyes. It's Trailer Hicks in Hawaii..with his new chick.
Here's the scoop verbatim from People.com
------
Does Taylor Hicks have a new girlfriend?

The American Idol winner – and PEOPLE'S 2006 Most Eligible Bachelor – was photographed last week on a Hawaii beach with a bikini-clad blonde, later identified as Caroline Lyders, a morning anchor at Milwaukee's ABC affiliate WISN.

When asked about Hicks by local magazine onmilwaukee.com, Lyders, who first met Hicks when she interviewed him in March, played coy. "Taylor and I are friends," she told reporter Bobby Tanzilo on Wednesday, "and as a journalist I respect your asking. But beyond that, I'd rather not comment on my personal life."

Hicks, too, has been private about his love life – even keeping his closest friends in the dark about Lyders. "I don't know about any new girlfriend," one of his friends tells PEOPLE. "But I'm not surprised. Taylor always had girls following him even before he ever became famous."

A rep from J Records, the singer's label, says they do not comment on their client's private lives.

Still, Hicks' willingness to be seen in public with Lyders is a good sign. "He is a romantic when it comes to women, and he treats them with respect," says the friend. "So to be seen out in public with this girl makes me know that he likes her, because that's just how he is."

Hicks has always known what he was looking for in a woman. "She's gotta be cool," he told PEOPLE in June. "She's gotta be easy to get along with. And deep. Shallow does not turn me on at all."

Daughtry Pics are Here!!!


Amy B has come forth with the pics!!! These were taken at TigerJam in Las Vegas this weekend.

Amy says he suffers from "shoutin'" not singing at times...ala LaKisha. Says he's a screamer. I do recall his rocker angst getting a little out of control. Thanks AmyB !!! Nice pics. Good seats it looks like! LuckyDog.

Terrible Tuesday...the day after a 3-Day Weekend

I hate Terrible Tuesdays. They snap you back to reality...the realization that you have not retired, although a 3 day weekend tricks you to sleeping late and staying up late with abandon. And you get back to work and everyone is happy and refreshed for about 2 minutes, and bada bing, the bitching starts.

Then people start to yawn, and go for coffee, so they are alert bitchers. And then the food starts circulating, along with the "have you got that done yet?" emails...and then you want to KILL the overachiever workaholics who did not need the morning to catch up because they worked all weekend...and it seems only worked at figuring out ways to make you miserable on Terrible Tuesday.

Hmmm. What's for dinner? It's 4:15...only 3 more hours and I will be back in my safe haven in happy land surrounded by my cats, my tv and my hubby. Will I make it? At this point, it's touch and go. And those damn whales are starting to back up traffic with looky loo-ers. Who made up that name? Looky Loo? It's like on tv now. I'm reading a really good trash novel right now. It's like a fun tv show in my head. I made myself leave it at home, or I'd be sneaking into a closet to read it at work, like a nerd. It's the next book from the Devil Wears Prada author. Total chick lit. I wish I had saved it for vacation, but alas did not. But I do have 2 waiting in the wings. The Divorcee' Debutantes...sounds like a real page turner, doesn't it? And Bergdorf Blondes. Oooohhh. I totally bought these books based on the color of the cover. That's how you know they are chick lits.

Please don't hate me for wasting your time on this post. Terrible Tuesday and it sucked the life out of me. But I feel much better. If you were here I'd buy you a Coke. Bye now.

Declaring Daughtry Week


I'm feeling very Daughtry-ish this week. I joined www.chrisdaughtryrocks.com...so I can get all the official scoopage. This is my new necklace I will be wearing all week. Kidding! I found this on Ebay. Getting a Daughtry guitar pick is not going to prove to be a challenge afterall. There's 2 auctions up there...and no bidders, so no biggie. So, I've decided that I am not going to get one off Ebay. Any Schmo can do that (or atleast a schmo that can remember their password, which I cannot, dammit) so I am going for the harder to obtain version. Mine must come from some connection. I must try my 6-degrees to famous people connection to obtain the guitar pick. I'm challenging myself to get one with an autographed picture...and a signed pick. Too tiny probably, but I'll settle for an initial.
So, still waiting for Christina and AmyB to load some Daughtry pics to me...I've declared this Daughtry week so we can just talk all things Daughtry with only late breaking important other celebrity gossip, or reports of the Whales making it to the Pacific. Did everyone see Vallejo getting it's 15 minutes of fame on national tv with those damn whales? My little town on the water is on the map for something besides spawning the Zodiac killer. Can you believe Jake Gyllenhaal didn't even come to our town to shoot one frame of that flick, based in Vallejo? Hollywood shuns us again.

So, I continue my search for my Daughtry loot. Hope your Memorial Day was memorable. Mine was or will be for atleast 3 days since I injested a burger the size of my head! Scrump-dilly-umptious. Hey, who saw Shrek 3? Pirates? I can't wait to see Mr. Brooks next week...Kevin Costner back on the silverscreen. Again...scrump-dilly-umptious. Aging like a fine wine, he is.

Funny Ass Quote 'O the Day

That lame show Extra comes up with some good stuff every now and again. They were interviewing Roseanne Barr about replacing Rosie on The View...(side thought: one bitter ex comedienne that talks about her fat issues switches for another bitter ex comedienne that talks about her fat issues all the time. Umm, thinking America won't notice? The names are the same nearly, both chubby and grouchy...let's just try slipping her in there and see what peeps think. I'm thinking not. ABC...get a clue I think the whole drama queen 4-some should be flushed like the turd it is)...anyway back to Roseanne. When asked about her thoughts on Paris going to jail she replys:
"Oh I think it's terrific. It's just great news...almost makes up for OJ". HA HA HA. I just think that is hysterical. And now Lohan will be joining her. I told you guys a month ago...Rehab is out, Jail is in, and Orange is the new Black. And you thought I was kidding. Nope.

One thing I MUST have....the Daughtry pick


Like I said earlier, Chris Daughtry is everywhere this weekend...with AmyB seeing him at TIgerJam and Christina seeing him somewhere in Georgia. And lo and behold, here he is on Friday's episode of Ellen. She loves herself some Daughtry. This is his second appearance, and she let him sing 2 songs. She is also very turned on by his Daughtry tattoo across his shoulders, and tries to coax him to take his tee off and show it again. And then she gets some scissors brought up and he wrestles her, tosses the scissors across the floor and says "sorry". haha. She was stunned, but laughing. He is such a great interview. And I'm not just sayin' cause he's my MBF (musician boyfriend) Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsGtQwrPrPs
And I MUST have the custom guitar pick with his face on it, that he gave Ellen. It's a little guitar pick with his face! I want it! I can add it to my collection...well I only have one other famous guitar pick...Sammy Hagar gave me a pick on a plane from Cabo San Lucas, where I was on my honeymoon. He took a picture with us and reached in his pocket and gave me a pick, wished us a happy marriage, and made some sex joke with my husband. It was pretty cool. He was great. I loves the Sammy.

Anyway, I think together we can find a way for me to get this pick, don't you? Ebay? Home invasion robbery? There has to be a way? We need to pull out all the connections. This will be my summertime mission.

Did I tell you how I got a script from Season 3 stolen from the set of Idol? And I have a complete set of Ryan Seacrest cue cards that he held in his actual sweaty tiny little man hands? Oh yes I do. I completely forgot about those. Maybe I'll go snap some digi's of those and post. Just so you know I'm not lyin', and so you know I will get that freakin' pick. By September 1, I will have that pick.

Signed,

On a pick mission, ColeyB

Happy Memorial Monday!

Big news, the whales are moving toward the ocean. I'm sure you've all read about those whales that turn a wrong turn on the oceanic map and ended up in the Sacramento River. Goes to show that not all whales are as smart as those hoop jumping Shamu whales at SeaWorld. These dummy whales didn't notice the lack of salt in the water and kept the pedal to the metal cruising 55 or so miles up the river. And there they stayed, up the river without a paddle. It's been all the rage in the news here for a couple of weeks. Today, I awaken to find they are coming to Vallejo!!! They have made their way to the Benicia Bridge, which is about 7 miles from here, and will be at the bridge in my town about 5 minutes later. Go whales go!
In case you were wondering, I will not be talking about Lindsay Lohan's wreck and druggage situation. Stupid ass girl, cannot be bothered unless something funny happens like she goes running naked through Barney's Beverly Hills or something. Just saw an ad for the World Music Awards that are coming on tonite...obviously pre-taped since Lindsay is the host. This award show happened a long time ago I think, Michael Jackson performs? Think I remember about that controversy.
Well, this has been a Daughtry themed weekend. Christina saw him in concert...can't wait to hear about it. AmyB saw him at TigerJam in Las Vegas. Said he was LOUD but pretty good. (Justin is her Musician Boyfriend, Chris is mine) As MBF's go, hers is more famous, and she has actually had her picture taken with him. I, unfortunately, have not achieved my ultimate goal, I only have my pic with Ace Young. But that's ok, that memory will be with me 4ever. AmyB is supposed to send me pics.
More later...I've got All My Children to watch. Lots of sitting on my bootie watchin' the boob tubey.

One Reality Show I will NOT be watching

Have you seen the promos for this ridiculous show "The Ex-Wives Club"? In brief, it's these 3 ex-wives of celebrities and they feel they can offer advice to the "love-lost" and help them get through it.

Ok, so these 3 woman are going to practice psychiatry without a license on national tv, based on the dysfunctional marriages they had...mmm. I smell a disaster. Now who are they?
1. Shar Jackson - Married? to Kevin Federline, 2 kids, 3 and 5 year old. Has 2 other kids from some other schmo.
2. Marla Maples - ex of the Donald...followed Ivanka, but before Melania. One child, Tiffany
3. Angie Everhart - engaged to Sly Stalone, realized he had no brain cells, and married George Hamilton's son Ashley, and probably came to same conclusion (him not her) and divorced, no kids

Ok, so these are 3 woman that were married to 3 men that I quite doubt are capable of having a meaningful relationship with a Pet Rock. Sly, KFed and The Donald. Homer Simpson would have been a better choice of a mate.

I think this reality show should have been...How 3 dumb women chose the 3 dumbest men standing upright to procreate with and in some cases marry. And then the commentator could end each show looking each of them in the eye saying "How could you sleep with such a dumbass?" And then Homer's "Doh" voice comes on...Now that is some tv worth watching!
I heart Homer.

KingGooglerChad and WindyCityNut

Special post for "my guys" on the blog.
Ok, my calm little researcher Chad. Do you own stock in YouTube? You should. I simply don't have enough time to go to all the links you send. Ok, my bad, I lied. Truth? I can't get my fucking computer to open half of them. I'm lame. I suck. Buffering bullshit makes me insane and I just shut the screen. So, sorry buddy, sometimes I just can't do it. But keep posting so everyone can see it! Seriously, you're my favorite celebrity search engine.
WindyCityNut
Keeping me on my toes and laughing. Calling me out for hatin' Blake. I don't hate him. I just don't see him hanging around with a career. I mean beat boxing has a very narrow niche market appeal. I look at it this way...if I'm watching a show on animals, and all of a sudden someone starts wrestling alligators, I think 'that's entertaining. But do I want all the shows I watch to have alligator wrestling as part of the entertainment. Am I going to buy an alligator wrestling DVD? Nope. Ergo...not buying Blake's DuranJackson Musical Medleys of the '80s cd. Not gonna' do it. Not gonna' do it. Wouldn't be prudent. I'm going to do a little research on "Number Two" and post what I find...and I think one year from now, we will be Blake who-in? on the blog. And you'll owe me a prize. Hey, I'm glad you are SO into ON THE LOT. I'm going to watch it faithfully and I look forward to your insightful wit on it.
Little cooking tip for you, buddy. There is this thing called a Grill mat. It's a black sheet of silicone with holes in it...

Personal Message to Christina...

I chose not to comment back to Christina's recent comments on Katharine McPhee, because I feel like what I have to say, I'd like to share with everyone...at the post level. If any of you are new to the blog...Christina is an extremely bright entertainment marketing student who I do not know personally, but have enjoyed hearing from via the blog during the current Idol season. So, my comments here are not of a friend, but of someone I admire immensely and have enjoyed reading her thoughts via the blog. And here's why...
1. SHE entertains ME!!! While this blog is supposed to be me spilling my thoughts and opinions in a mostly humorous way (in case you don't get it, that is my goal), I am so excited to log on and read the comments from everyone.
2. SHE makes me THINK. Sometimes I feel like it's my way or the highway...and I love that she shows me another side of the coin to contemplate.
3. She is INSANE. After reading a comment, often times longer than my original post, I feel like I took a hit of crack and can run a 10K. Energizing, crazy and often leave the hamster in my head out of breath.
So, I publicly want to say...Thanks Christina...you're MY Idol...and please keep coming back and sharing 'tina time with us! xoxox
PS...I'll post concert pics if you send them to me. Take lots of Daughtry. Try not to kill yourself.
PSS...Please expand on your thoughts on Clive Davis and his "screwing" of Kelly at the show.
coleybronn@sbcglobal.net
Ciao.

Did you forget about Kat McPhee?

Perez Hilton posted her thoughts on HER single....
'Let's just face it: Now that the first single [Over It] is pretty much over, I can now say that that wasn't my favorite song. In the nicest way you can possibly say it, I didn't want that song to be something that I was a part of. I don't know how else to say it. 'If I had let the record label make the record that they wanted to make, I think it would have been a completely different record. [The record label and Clive Davis] would have gone for more of like the Celine Dion big-ballad thing. Or the female version of Josh Grobin. Which is fine, but I think I'm so young, it's not what I want to do right now. I think you can always do that. Like 10 years from now, I'll only be 32, you can do that.''
- American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee
So, I guess she missed Jordin's big night because she was home licking her kitty cat paws over spilt milk and shitting record sales. Meow.
Now let's put this into perspective peeps. She was 2nd place last year. And over TRAILOR HICKS, Mayor of Hicksville. And you really think we will be remembering Blake in 2008? If you ain't got talent AND the right producers AND song, the magic is lost, and that's all I'm sayin'.

Hey, It's Memorial Day Weekend...Grillin' and Chillin'


Drag out your favorite box of wine and whoop it up people...it's OPENING WEEKEND for Summertime. Yep, took me 2 hours to get home from work, as the entire freakin' Bay Area decided to evacuate as if a 7.5 earthquake had depleted our water supply. Bumper to Bumper with vacationers getting the hell out of Dodge...like we live on the edge of hell here. I hate it when people complain that it's too windy, or it's too foggy. Obviously, that glare off the Golden Gate Bridge is just too much to take. Bunch of spoiled ass whiners these people are. I almost want to start the speech, "Shut up you fool, I used to drive to work in Dallas when it was 95 at 7:30 am, and nearly pass out walking into my office building due to humidity as thick as smoke." But, I know their eyes would glaze over when "dallas" and my accent hit them...because someone from Texas might as well be from Mars out here. They really can't grasp it. It's quite funny. Believe it or not, most have never traveled to TX. So I make up a lot of stories for co-workers like having goats and chickens in my yard, and riding my horse to school in the snow (I lived on the Texas Gulf Coast, snowed 2 times in my life...more time at beach than shoveling snow!) Anyway, by the looks of things at the grocery store tonite, lots of ribs will be flipping on the barbeque grill tomorrow and Sunday. Hope you all have some good plans for maximizing the relaxation quota.

Chad, thanks for the link for Leno. I've been so freaking tired, work has been HELLacious, and I think I was suffering Idol Mania Overload. My eyes were stinging. But I caught up on some stuff today. First of all there are 2,180 possible links on YouTube alone for Jordin Sparks. Chad, I expect you to report on 25% of those by Sunday. LOL kidding! She was cute on Leno. But honestly, I hope what she was wearing is not a sign of what's to come. I was dressed cuter for my trip to the dentist the other day (if I do say so myself).
So, the guy who came in second, Blake, remember him? Well, you won't in about a year, and you can quote me on that. Anyway, he tells People Magazine that he is glad he didn't win. Why? Because of the contractural obligations. And I quote, "I think if you win you have to come back for like 3 years or something." OMG, he's already biting the hand that put his sorry beatboxing ass on the tv. Blake, Blake, Blake. Get you tunes recorded and on shelves before you piss the people paying for it all off. Daddy Dallas doesn't look like he could front you in getting distribution at the Quickie Mart. But listen, since you've now stated TWICE that your record will be a mix of Michael Jackson, DuranDuran, and 80's sounds, Quickie Mart might be the only ones willing to sell your magical tunes. Bada Bing.
So, has anyone watched ON THE LOT? I forgot it was on Thursday night...hopefully TIVO picked it up,
SPEAKING OF TIVO: ha. Did you hear how many people, including Jay Leno, didn't get to see the finale announcement of the winner because Tivo cut it off? HOLY SHIT, I would have shot through my roof. Fortunately, I have been burned by Tivo before and I had set it to record 15 minutes over. I was pissed how the night before Tivo cut off Daughtry. Have to get up pretty early in the morning to trick me on Tivo. Of course I can't program my coffee maker or drive my car in reverse, but really, is that necessary? I even have a backup camera in my mobile unit, and I still "tapped" a pole at the mall today. Hee hee. no marks. Sssshhh...don't tell Greg.
Well, all seems right with the celebrity world today. Rosie O'Donnell is off the View. Hopefully, soon, the View with no longer be in view. I hated that show from the get-go. How has it lasted this long? Even Meredith Viera claims not to watch it. Buncha dumb bitches pretending to be comedians/politicians/celebrity hounds, and really they are just full of themselves. Give bitches like me a bad name, I tell you. I like Ellen. She is just a cool cat, loves the celebrity, hates anyone who's "hatin" and I like to watch her dance...she sux really, but it's funny. I miss DJ Tony. Do you remember John McD on the Rosie Show? What a dumbass. He kissed her ass so bad, he looked like a persian cat.

More later, weekend warriors. Go out and have some fun...hey, anyone going to see Pirates of the Carribean, the Ocho? Isn't this like #8 in the series? God, who thought I would get tired of Depp. Nobody. Bring it on!!!!

Funny quote o' the day...

Jordin Sparks -- She should sing next to Ruben more often -- she suddenly became a size 2!

LOL

Isn't She Lovely? Our new Idol


Congrats to my girl Jordin! I knew you were the one! Finally, my pick takes it to the home stretch!!!
So everyone, you've had a night to sleep on it. Thoughts on the show? Did you like all the stars and stuff...well the majority of them? Remember last year we got Prince. Was Gwennie on the Satellite Beam equal in star power? Green Day?
I could have used a little less Taylor and Sanjaya, and a little more Daughtry.
Anyhoo...I'm super duper tired today. I can't even think straight. More later after I pump up the caffeine intake. Where are those emergency chocolate covered espresso beans I jammed in my desk at Christmas?

My Final Recap of Season 6...WEST COAST SPOILER ALERT

I actually get the East Coast feed into my house...so I get to see the show a little earlier than West Coast peeps, if I am home from work early enough. Today I strategically worked from home, therefore, the minute my husband and Queen Lee Lee and I finished dinner, we sat down for 2 hours of bliss. And we were not disappointed. If you are looking at my blog and don't know the winner yet, STOP READING NOW.

So, first of all, I must say, the judges and Ryan look spectacular. Also, I am not blogging in real time, as I wanted to watch the show tonite, not stare at the screen. So, here's what I remember loving about the show.
1. Kelly Clarkson performed TWICE. I am not 100% behind that new song, but I have heard her sing it 4 times now, and I have it downloaded, and this was her BEST performance. She rocked it.
2. Carrie Underwood was so freakin' hot it was unbeeelievable.
3. Green Day - very cool.
4. Jordin and the Velvet Teddy Bear - great duet
5. Blake and the Beat boxer guy...very cool, very entertaining
6. J Hud in audience
7. KiKi and Gladys Knight
8. Gina Gloxsen lost like 50 lbs. She's a stick.

Mixed reviews:
1. All the Beatles music...a little overkill. Like too much
2. Montages with 6 boys and 6 girls
3. Antonella and her friend...clowning her.
4. Clive Davis - dead to me really, but he did prop Daughtry and Underwood
5. Bette Midler - love Divine Miss M, but connection to Idol is ??? She is replacing Celine in Vegas, and Celine sang with Dead Elvis, so let's bring on Bette? Huh Sang bad too. Bad vibes for Caesars Palace. They'll be giving out tickets at Jack-in-the-box with the purchase of an antennae ball.
6. Too many Fox show celebrities in the audience
7. Weird MIA idols - Pickler, Aiken and McPhee. Like they didn't exist.

Hated It:
1. What can possibly cancel out the hotness of Joe Perry? I mean freakin' Aerosmith Hotness...need I say it. Sjayjay.
2. Close ups on Constantine
3. Stupid Golden Awards and the fat chicken lady
4. Melinda and the Winans. Not so hot.
5. The Hasselhof in the audience, instead of rehab
6. Justin Guiarini closeup UGH

And the winner is my girl JORDIN. Can I just say, I cried. She was beautiful. It was kind of anticlimatic because she won by a landslide. You know it. Even Blake knew it. What a great guy. I'm so happy my person won for a change. Sort of takes the sting out of losing Daughtry last year.

Well, party peeps... I'll write all the fun stuff I find about the show tomorrow. I give the show 4 Carries and 4 Daughtrys...I guess that's cool. It's all good in the neighborhood. Again, I thank everyone who joined the blogpound this year. Stick with us, we ain't goin' nowhere. I'll be seeing Kelly C in concert in July, and who knows when I might run into an idol on my trip to LA.
Love to you all....whoo hoo... JORDIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to AmyB who wins the office pool. Sorry Lu :(

First pics from red carpet are in...


WE GOT A HOT ONE TONITE!!!!! Kelly and Carrie Perform!!!!

OK, 30 seconds after my last post I found this at tmz.com. They got the WHOLE scoop on tonite's finale.
----------
TMZ has learned that Kelly -- and all winners from seasons past, except Fantasia -- will be back performing on the "American Idol" stage for tonight's finale.

Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks are headed to the Kodak Theater, but Fantasia Barrino won't be, since she is headlining Oprah Winfrey's production of "The Color Purple" on Broadway.

Sources tell TMZ Gladys Knight will perform "Midnight Train to Georgia" with the top six female finalists, while Smokey Robinson will join the top six male finalists for a rendition of "Ooh Baby Baby." Most recently booted finalist Melinda Doolittle will sing with brother and sister gospel duo BeBe and CeCe Winans, while the hairiffic Sanjaya duets with Aerosmith's Joe Perry to the Kinks' "You Really Got Me." It's sure to be an unbeweavable night!
Beat-boxing finalist Blake Lewis will show off his mad skillz against rapper Doug E. Fresh, and then duet with fellow finalist and probable winner, Jordin Sparks, to the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There." Since producers were able to finally get clearance to use Beatles music, a medley of Fab Four hits will be performed as well.
Luckily, we're told no one is expected to be exhumed a la Elvis on tonight's finale!
UPDATE: A well-placed source tells TMZ that anti-establishment rockers Green Day sold out and will be on the "American Idiot" "Idol" finale too!
I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT. AND BONUS THAT FAN-SPAZ-MIC couldn't make it. Can't wait until Princess Sparky Smiles gets her wig crowned and I only wish they would make it like the Miss America pageant where Kelly would put on the crown and Carrie would hand her flowers. Wouldn't that be so stupid, yet so freakin' funny? And Ryan could sing "There she is... Miss American Idol..." hee hee. I know, lame. But I'm losing my mind with giddiness at the news of Kelly and Carrie.
More later.

The Carrie Underwood's Banner Says It's Here!!!

Remember when I posted the Carrie Underwood banner for the first time? I think it was 69 days until the finale, or something like that. Oh, we have been through some times together. Without sounding corny or silly...and I guess that means sincere...I would like to thank everyone that stayed with me through the season. I've made some new Cyber Pals...Jeff, Christina and Chad, among others that email me privately! That has been the best part of all of this...getting funny comments from ALL walks of life and from all parts of the country...all uniting on our weird little obsession with a tv show. Hey, 30 million people watch with us...we can't be that craZy? Anyway, I thank each and every person that logged in...commented or just passed me in the hallway snickering at my latest post. It's meant the world to me and really your feedback has kept me going.
So what's next? I am happy that I get asked that alot, and happier to report that the momentum is not slowing. I plan to move to Hollywood, I've got an agent, and you'll see me in next summer's blockbuster starring Johnny Depp as my lover. Ok, so a girl can dream, right? Reality says I have a mortgage and a husband that likes Northern California so I'm staying put. Nothing changing except my url. I'm launching my own website you can bookmark. Assuming I can get the address I want...www.ColeyB.com is where you will find me by early summertime. This blog will stay up of course. And I'm a girl, so I reserve the right to change everything in a minutes notice as well.
What I won't be doing is changing my style and my obsessions. I will be watching alot of tv. ON THE LOT has great potential...I just have to get past Carrie Fischer's weird teeth and jawline change. Something's not quite right? I hope she doesn't have a disease and I'm making fun of her. If so, I'm sorry. Anyway... as I have said before...I love to talk about tv shows. And celebrities...and love to hear people talk about their thoughts too. I love opinions, even if they differ from mine...and I love music too. and books. and candy. and cats. Anyway, I guess what I am hoping is that if you've had fun with me through Idol...please stick around...migrate to my .com this summer and we will all still be together for Season 7 American Idol. Alrighty...now I can start mining the net for the blow-by-blow at the Kodak. Red Carpet picks are on their way!!!

Here we go..last performance nite...last votes to cast...

sniff...sniff...I'm a little veclempt. They're at the Kodak tonite and it's crazy wild. Ryan for some reason decides to dress like banker. Randy dressed like he's just come from the PIrates of the Caribbean premiere. Pauler, wearing more makeup than I had icing on my wedding cake.
Blake, beats it on down. He was really working the crowd. It was really nice energy. He brought it. Although he took the mike from his mouth alot and missed the vocals a bit. 4 Daughtrys
Jordin...oh girl, you came to win this competition. LOVE the hair. Singer Christina...a hot pop tart song for sure, good choice of a young song. Fighter! Oh yeah...this rocks. Now this is the shit I would buy a concert ticket to see...personality and running the audience into a frenzy. Chills. The bi-atch rocks...which is weird to say about a 17 year old. 5 CARRIES My first round goes to Jordin. Not so with Simon. But who cares. She was awesome.
Blake lets American Idol sell him out to Maroon 5, who has a new album out. Adam Levine, Robin Thicke...Blake can put out an album like them, I suppose. Not a fan of the this. I don't really like copying a popular song. You tend to compare. And actually he's doing a great job. I'd rather hear this version than Maroon 5's. He has stayed true to his style in every way. I think that was awesome. 5 Daugtrys. He was so smooth. Judges: Capt. Randy ok; Nosy- ok Simon- got itchy balls or something tonite...he's in a crabby mood.
Jordin's 2nd song: From country week...she has such a great way of showing emotion. I like that about her. 5 Carries. She really did a nice job on that one. Especially the final note. Capt. Randy...better than the original Nosy-excellent Simon-now THAT was good. Didn't pick a winner out of that round. Where's my phone? I need to start dialing.
During the break I must say I am excited because before tonite is over, I will have passed the 5000 hits mark on the blog. Whoo Hoo. I heard the song winner tune will play better to Jordin, as it is a ballad. Let's see, here goes Blake. Gma Munster is doing well. I actually like this song. What's it called? "This is My Now?" Hey, the backup singers are fucking this up. They sound out of tune. PItchy all over the place. This is dragging man. It needs to speed up tempo. I don't like it Blake. Sorry. He's jumping faster than the drummer is tapping. 3.5 Daughtrys Let's see what judges say. Capt and Nosy - check Simon: exactly what Coley says. Blake showed the tattoos tonite. Never noticed before.
Jordy...here we go. OK, I'll buy this record the very millisecond it comes on the market. Nice emotional clencher. Nice job, way to go. Tears in my eyes. I feel like I have just watched a real superstar being born, just like I did with Carrie. Judges: Simon: WIPED THE FLOOR WITH BLAKE ON THAT ONE. LADIES and Germs...THAT IS OUR AMERICAN IDOL. I think I am so excited about her. Win or Lose, she was awesome tonite and has a great career ahead of her.
Blake will be great too...if I was going to put Blake up against Justin Guarini, Clay Aiken, Rueben, Taylor...I go with Blake. Jordin, I rank her 3rd in all the woman. Ahead of J Hud. I think she has more personality in her singing. I couldn't pick a 1, 2 for Carrie or Kelly...too different...but here's a hint. I award 5 Carries tonite for a reason. I love this moment, and to everyone that has poo pood the show this season, and I was there a little bit, I take it back. This was WAY better than 3 of the last 5 season finales. I mean...Taylor and Kat? Don't even compare.
I'm giddy. Can't wait until tomorrow night. I will hardly sleep tonite. OH MY GOD. DAUGHTRY. YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!! See the eyeliner. Well, I guess it's hot. I mean he is a rocker and all. Let's just say I wouldn't kick him out of my .... for eating crackers. hee hee. Yowzah! Here's a tip...if you are a song writer, I'd get going on a "I've been voted off" lyric right now. I mean "had a bad day" put Daniel Powter on THE map, and on Oprah. Home with D-man...BIG Bucka roos. Have you seen his ranking at Itunes lately? Top 10 for WEEKS on end. Nice job Daughtry. Mmm. Next season, will I award "Blakes" to someone? You'll have to wait and see. Nice closing shot of the 2 hugging. OK< tuning in to ON THE LOT!!! We will be reviewing it during Idol off season...among other reality shows.

NiteyNite Idol Ites...

Celebrity Siting Alert...this just in...

Famous Julian just called me from traffic in LA and he was sitting next to Amy Wino - house and her beehive. She was being filmed for a video. He called me from the cell phone at the scene of the siting. He was so excited. Love ya' Julian!!! Thanks for the scoop...For those slow on the uptake, or from Mars...here's Amy Winehouse...remember Randy talking about her music a few weeks ago?

Is it just me? I can't help it

I just have to ask...am I the only one that just can't look at Blake without hearing the Munster's theme song?

Early predictions

Well, before tomorrow nights show, USA Today had a vote online thing...you know click to vote now for your winner fave...so I did...and the results as of right now are 62% Jordin...Blake the rest. LANDSLIDE. Of course he could blow it out of the water tomorrow night, though not likely. You know it is a done deal that both will release an album, so neither really cares who wins, really. For all the coolness people are spewing about Blake, guess what he replied when asked about his album, and what did he want it to be...
Blake: "Something like Michael Jackson meets Duran Duran".
Cole: WTF? He did not just mention MJ in the same sentence as his next album. Death nail.
Jordin, ever the level headed professional, (did someone really check her birth certificate because I'm thinking she is mid-20's). Jordin replys: Something that appeals to a wide audience, like Kelly Clarkson's first album. Not too specific to one genre.
Smart girl. Working it. Picking a popular CURRENT artist, as opposed to an accused pedophile and some guys currently off the map of music. Blake the dummy cat has exposed himself.

Love Jordin's Dress


You can now buy the copy of it online for $55.00. Can you believe what a machine this f'ing show creates in terms of commerce. It's totally insane.

bye.

Finishing up my bad day...

I feel like telling you all the shit-ola I read about celebrities today. What a buzz kill of a day. I depend on them to lift me up, and give me something to laugh at or atleast a quick OMG she/he didn't! But alas, here's a list of stuff that left me saying, "Who cares?"
1. Amy Winehouse Wed her fiance'. So what...I'd be more interested in the animals nesting in that beehive of hers
2. Paula Abdul broke her nose - would be interesting if she was going to show up in a bandage with black eyes, or if there was footage of her falling over her chihuahua with a martini in one hand and a blunt in the other, but alas, this only exists in my head, and it's effing funny...sorry you can't be here with me.
3. Finales of Desperate Housewives - do we really think Edie commits suicide. Nope.
4. Paris Hilton - no news is good news
5. Britney - more lip syncing. At this point, real singing would be the news. Otherwise, lame status quo.
6. Mayer and Simpson - still split. Ok, move on press people and break up some other couple. There has to be someone new slipping it to Scarlett Johanssen this week, right? I'm tired of "Jess the Hooker" pics from Pussycat Dolls in Vegas or pics of her from Cannes.
7. Pam Anderson at Cannes gets booed. Not sure...is there a "b" missing. Was that supposed to be "Boobed", like someone slingshot a rock at her ta tas and deflated one. Is this a medical drama story? Again, maybe only in my head.
8. Hasslehoff gets kids visitation - mmm...me thinks Child Protective Services turned a blind eye on this one...and who cares
9. Mischa Barton has a nipple slip - ok, enough of the nips and coochie shots. Let's get creative people. Seen one, seen them all..and really, who cares about these stupid girls with 12 year old boy boobs...I've seen cats nursing their young with more interesting body parts. What I care about is when are the boys going to start leaving the barn doors open? The occasional zipper stuck in the down position? Hello? (God help me if Dad reads this one. I may be out of the will)
10. Lindsay Lohan still an alcoholic. Mmm. Let's spice that up a bit and add...and a hooker and a drug addict. And what about this is news? Notta. Look at the she-demon that raised her? Uggh.

Thus concludes my shiteous, crapola day at work. I just wasn't feeling it today. God help those people that had to interact with me. I even lost my temper at the salad bar when they ran out of little tiny edamame peas. I am pitiful. I'll be better tomorrow, promise, because it's final performance day people. And despite the fact that this has been more of a Mikela/Constantine season than a Carrie/Daughtry, we owe it to hug it out and watch with enthusiasm.

Don't forget to watch "ON THE LOT' after tomorrow nights final sing out. 3 songs. And of those 3 songs 2 are the winners of the song contest that they staged this year.

bye now.

More Finale Rumors

JenniferG says that Daughtry is rumored to be on the finale. And it made me start thinking about past contestants. And then comparing them to these 2 in this year's finale. Sadly I must admit that Jordin is no Carrie or Kelly. Or Jennifer Hudson. And Blake certainly ain't no Daughtry or Bo Bice...I loved him. I really liked Brandon Davis this season...the backup guy singer. I thought he had some great sounds. For me, really, this is just about as bad as Clay v. Rueben or Fantasia v. Diana D. I do think Jordin may have more experience in the spotlight than any other contestant before, coming from a Dad in the NFL. I think she is poised to handle fans and fame, even at 17. She'll be great. Blake...he is the first real pop guy to make it this far. Elliott, Clay, Taylor, Bo...non of them got remotely compared to JT or any boy band guys. His album will be interesting.
And winning the award for best teeth revise...you know him. Hey, Elliott, the space station called and wanted you to know they think you might have gone a tad too white.

Happy Monday. Hope yours isn't as CrapTacular as mine is turning out to be. Where's that tiny violin when I need it? Cry Me A River...

Season 6 Winding Down...not super excited either.

In celebrating what has not been a real season worth celebrating, I went shopping yesterday. Highly recommend it. Where you ask?
AND what did I buy? Mmm. Let's see...

Got an AI hat too. Aren't these items going to be the cutest at the beach in Hawaii? Can't wait. I'll be the talk of Kauai. Sadly, these are not shipping until after the Finale as they are exclusive to that night. T-shirt is dated on the back, so now I can lie and tell everyone I was there in person. Except, y'all of course.

Bad Rumor Floating About...


From the expressions in the picture, the idols got the news too. LOL Should I even spell this out? It's disaster in the making, but I feel I must brace you all for the news I just read. Unconfirmed sources are reporting "loud rumblings" of a rumor that Shitney Shears (Britney Spears for those from Indiana) is a possible performer on the Season Finale. OMG. Why must they fuck up the last 120 minutes of pure joy I will be spending next Wednesday night. I have a guest viewer planned, Queen Lee Lee will be in da' house...will have a butler serving us champagne and cheese doodles, and my husband promises to massage my feet during the show. Usually he fans my face, because the pressure of writing the blog while viewing breaks me out in a sweat. I digress.
Shitney Lip Syncing on the show. I swear it has to be a BAD rumor. Please let it just be that. Last night, it was reported that her cd that she was syncing to, sort of 'un=synced'...as it started skipping! ha ha ha. She turned her back to the audience and reportedly when it happened again, dropped to the ground and started floor dancing...broke her head mike, and looked like she might puke. I mean really, you make a gazillion dollars, and you stage a 13 second show, and you can't sing live? There should be a class action lawsuit against Shitney AND the House of Blues. People paid for a live performance, and not of a has been falling further into the depths of hell. David Spade had the best quote ever on "The Showbiz Show with David Spade"...watch it if you haven't already. Anyway, he does this news segment...let's see if I can remember:
"Last night Britney Spears experienced even further embarrassment, indicating her recent troubles, when she couldn't find anyone in the audience to watch her kids while she performed." Heh-eh. He's a funny one.
More later. I need to do some Sunday shopping.

Calling this Kelly Clarkson Saturday, chilling at the laptop...


Ok, so I've had the house to myself today, and basically I can do whatever I want when my husband is home, but there is some sort of freedom when HE isn't here. I mean I can eat stuff out of a can, pick my butt, and wear my hair in the biggest ponytail fright wig you've ever seen, listen to Kelly Clarkson and don't have to worry about getting the "I married that?" look from the man. So, just what has Coley done with her big day at home? Fucked with my IPOD for nearly 2 hours. Yep, wasted 2 whole sunny Saturday hours messing with my laptop and Ipod, trying to sync my tunes, all kinds of junk. I made new playlists, spread out the Daughtrys amongs the Nickelbacks and Kenny Chesney tunes. What a mix huh? I have Top Country, Rock It, Pop Tunes, and Acoustic categories which are the 4 basic food groups of my music moods. Oh, and the bonus category playlist: Men who have dumped Jessica Simpson...which is my Lachey and John Mayer playlist. I have 1 Adam Ant song on my Ipod that I simple cannot kill. I love "Wonderful". If you listen to the words, it's about him about to pop a lady in the face..and just picturing him doing that makes me laugh. I think my cat swatting me in the face would hurt more than Adam's slap. Still a good tune.
Anyway, I was searching around the basic home pages of EW, Yahoo, Superficial, USA Today...just trying to see if there is anything worth wasting time on...and quickly one thing becomes very obvious. The Kelly Clarkson shit on her album is like bigger news than Paris Hilton being fitted for her OJ garb. (that's Orange Jumpsuit, not Simpson...well actually... whatever, hey wouldn't it be funny if she reported to jail in a white Bronco. But of course just to keep it out of the tabs, they will probably put her inside a giant striptease cake and wheel her in...God, these sudafeds have my imagination wandering some weird places...I could care less about Paris, atleast consciously.) ok, where was I...oh, yeah, Kelly. Anyway, I'm telling you, I am a better reporter than some of these losers. Here are some reported facts that ain't true.
1. Kelly's Album - My December, releasing in July...Eeeehhh. (think buzzer sound, play along here) Releases on June 24. She said it herself on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE. Reason, because that's when her tour starts and she wants concert goers to have a chance to hear the music, learn words, etc. before showing up to the concert. Makes sense.
2. Clive Did Not Diss her Album - Oh yes he did. And no it has not been blown out of proportion...he hated it, wanted it changed, and despite the fact that Kelly herself said it was blown out...she meant the reporting, not the actual event.
3. Kelly refused to meet with Clive - NOT TRUE, she got tired of talking through her people to his people and called him up...said let's meet, and he said, Come on over. She met him in LA at the bungalow where he stays when on the West Coast and they hashed it out. She did not back down. YOU GO GIRL. This is why I LOVE HER. She has brass ta-tas and ain't afraid to knock you to the ground with them. LOVE that shit. The article on EW.com (see cover below) has some amazing frank comments from Ms. Clarkson. She is so honest...very refreshing. Really feel like she just doesn't give a shit about the whole celebrity crap...working out...weight gain...etc. She acknowledges her 10 year old fans won't like this album as much as Breakaway, but she can't keep repeating that album without dying of boredom. She ain't afraid of it tanking.
Well, I guess I better do some laundry and clean up this dive before someone comes home and pops ME in the face. ha ha. If you knew my husband you'd really find that funny. Plus, he'd have to catch me first. Happy Weekend Party Peeps. I'm thrillin to be grillin and chillin tonite. Hope you have a good one too. Wink.

Story Re: Kelly Clarkson's new album...Simon Sez



SIMON COWELL: ''Kelly is not a puppet; she does not like to be told what to do. She could have gone the easy route, which is, you go with ['Since U Been Gone' producer] Max Martin — it's a guaranteed success. She made it absolutely clear that she wanted to steer the musical direction on this record. You just gotta say, 'You know what? This girl has given us millions and millions of sales.' You've got to give her that opportunity. If it works out, fantastic. If she then decides she wants to do a pop album, every good writer and producer wants to work with her. Because Kelly will be here for 30 years. She has one of the best pop voices in the world right now. What she sold in the U.K., Europe, Asia had nothing to do with American Idol. It had everything to do with the fact that she made a great record and she's got an incredible voice. She's not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her.''
Thanks Chad for the link to this great article. Kelly confirmed that she and Clive did have differences...so it wasn't a spoof story afterall. It's too long for me to cut and paste here, so check out ew.com. Happy Saturday everyone of ya!

Hold the Phone People....what the hell is this? ON THE LOT???

Ladies and Gentleman, we may just have just found our summertime topic on the blog. What the hell? I haven't heard one word about this show and it premieres this week...Tuesday, May 22 on Fox after the final performances by Blake and Jordin...nice lead in show huh? Anyway, it's Executive Produced by Mr. Reality TV, Mark Burnett AND ...wait for it...Steven Fucking Spielberg, the uber Director who needs no describing really. If you don't know him, get off my blog. Ok, here's the gig...
A group of 16 undiscovered talents will be brought to Hollywood and divided into several teams. Every week, the teams will produce a short film in an assigned genre -- everything from comedies to thrillers, dramas to romance, sci fi to horror. With one member selected as the director, and other members helping produce, they'll have access to the best resources the industry has to offer. "On The Lot" will air two nights weekly, and the judging panel will include a motion picture executive, a film critic and well-respected guest judges. FOX viewers will choose who will move on and who will be "left on the cutting room floor." The prize? An office "on the lot" -- at DreamWorks -- and all the opportunities that affords.
Actors include Carrie Fisher, Brett Ratner, Garry Marshall, Jon Avnet
Producer
Steven Spielberg
Executive Producer
Mark Burnett
Executive Producer
David Goffin
It has all the makings of some good drama, let's just hope they don't let us down. We can do Top Chef too, as a backup plan. Hell I can talk about anything. If you're willing to read, I'll keep typing. Jeffro, Christina and Chad, you are on Saturday morning duty to find some more about this show, On the Lot. Where is it being reviewed? I'm too tired to search any more tonite. Maybe by the time I pull it out of bed in the am, you will have some interesting news for me, except Christina is such a bottle rocket, she probably will still be out partying by the time I wake up.
BTW - I'm listening to Carrie Underwood's cd while I type tonite. And I have just decided her new single should be "That's Where It Is".

Beauty and the Beat

Isn't she lovely...isn't he goofy? It's like the most mismatched pair. She stands about 14 inches above him. He's standing on a box here. I know it. He and Ryan are the same size and Jordy towers over Seacrest. Maybe he should wear a top hat in their future press photos! Like a Cat in the Hat sized hat. hee hee. I wish I could do some photoshop and plug that onto his head. CHRIS? You can do it, and I'll post it...'kay? And don't be poutin' cuz you lost the office pool. You just got married. Ride the wave of that honeymoon for a while. And you picked correctly for like 6 straight weeks. You rock!!! You just FAILED by not getting on the Jordin train early on, like me. SAW-ree.

Melinda Relieved Herself


and took a deep breath when losing American Idol last night. According to People.com she is happy to start singing without being judged. Hello Melinda, the new voting system is in place now...instead of a telephone, people visit a thing called a cash register and cast votes with dollar bills...most likely at the Wal-mart in Nashville. You better hope people keep judging and voting sister. Wish you well. You are talented. Probably the best. Just not an entertainer. Personality is important, moreso than looks. You just never engaged me, MeDooDoo. I did love making up names for you. But that was ME entertaining ME, at your expense. Atleast I didn't paint you like Shrek.

Message to HATER that posted on the blog...

Dear Anonymous,
Hey, what if I wrote this to you?

"Get off my fucking blog, you loser, and get back to your life of making everyone around you miserable." Now that wasn't very nice was it? Sort of angry and mean, and not funny at all. I don't care if you hate Jordin, or Blake, but you have to like something about the show to post here. Otherwise, why do you watch and why do you post your hate on my blog? Balanced feedback is all I ask. As I said, freedom of speech welcomed, but not just 100% negative, unless it's funny. Those are the rules. Play nice...or atleast with some humor. If I was to edit your post I'd say:

"I think I'll poke my eyes out with forks before I watch next week's show, Jordin is the total package of poo in my opinion and Blake is a gangster. I loved Melinda. She was the best. It's not fair they took away my Melinda."
See, in the paragraph above, we can FEEL your pain, and understand your hatin' of Jordin and Blake. You are distraught with your loss. Now it all makes sense and you don't appear to be the hatin' psychopath you original represented in your comment.
This concludes today's lesson on how not to piss off author of this Blog. (see previous posts on "hits" I have taken out this season, and my attachment to Eye-talians. Consider yourself warned.)

Have a Nice Day!

Go Jordin, go jordin, Total package, TOTAL Package. UH-Huh Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh

Blake, Melinda or Jordin? Who leaves tonite?

Driving home tonite, I was talking to Seester and I said I was sort of expecting the Idol Whammy tonite. I have a sick stomach of a Daughtry repeat...that is Jordin going home and the crowd booing and Simon going...America got this one terribly wrong, Seester sez this season's Idol whammy was Sanjaya and all the good people that went before him. Let's home she is right.
Homer Simpson starts off the show. Nice. I love Homer. Backtracking, I just watched the performance night. It was boring. I was looking for the memorable performances of season's past. The barefoot performance with Bo Bice...Fantasia singing sitting on the top step of the stage...Kat McPhee on her knees with the band on drum next to her. Remember all of those? Where is my memorable kick ass song choice and performance of this season. I hate to say it but Sanjaya comes to mind with the "Girl you really got me now" and KiKi's JHud ripoff from DreamGirls.
Home with Jordan: Jordan's BFF is Bailey, Remember Bailey Brown from earlier this season? Remember I was going to rename my cat Bella, Bailey? Ok, now freaking waste of time Seacrest pretends to give us results.
Why does Melinda have Death Cheater on her boobies? Blake's clothes have sucked the most consistently. And I have been staring at Blake all this time and I have finally figured out who he looks like...Grandpa Munster. Like what Gpa looked like when he was a punk kid. Yep, that's him. Oh, Blake's Daddy is a CryBaby..isn't that cool? What a great dad!!! CryBaby is not a bad term by the way. I get very emotional alot. Big hearts are a great thing. I think Blake got the best nickname this season...the Blaker Girls. That's so cute, huh Amy? Now they are exploiting CryDaddy. Git off the stage. More time wasting. Elliott Yamin is here now. I really like Elliott's big chompers. Worth every dime...$50,000 worth of free teeth. Some doctor donated that new grill. Nice. I say this is better than Trailer Hicks performance on Leno the other night. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. If Greg wasn't home, I'd skip the TIVO to the end and find out who got voted off right now. I used to open my Christmas presents around my birthday too. (Dec. 5 for those inclined to send gifts, fruit baskets or atleast an e-card!!) Elliott was nice and smooth. I would listen to that song on the radio for SURE. What a nice guy.
Right now, I really hope Blake makes it tonite. I don't know why. Now they are talking to Death Stalker oh I mean Cheater girl. Omg...Doohickie got that one girl through alot of tough times. Girl, it's only been 11 weeks. You look like your 16. How tough could it be? They run out of pink lipgloss at Wal-Mart? Well, here we have the 100's of people that turned out for MD. Remember the throngs that came to see JS and BL? Mmm? I think the star at the mall is way better than a bus stop sign. Oh shit, they threw her a prom. Maybe she never got to go to hers. Blake had Sir Mix A Lot...MD had a prom at a church. See the difference here? Leagues apart.
Hey, I think I might like the Breaking the Band show. I'll definitely blog on that. Hey and Pauler is going to have a reality show on Bravo. I'll blog on that too. That will be reality roadkill for sure.
OK, finally the effing results. Pulling Jordin out. Almost 60 million votes. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, MY JORDIE IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Champagne corks are flying, my cats are pumping their paws in the air. Except Bella, she loves Blake. uh oh, pulling Melinda out. 60 million votes still. Melinda IS OUT. It's a Blake and Jordin showdown. YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!! Doohickie is out. Jordin is sad. OK, so, that's ok, she can go back to Nashville and make some good records, she just isn't the total package. JORDIN JORDIN JORDIN. Oh, I can sleep well tonite. It's a whole week of seeing them on the internet, and tv and Letterman and stuff. It's going to be so great. It's all good.

Nitey Night Idol-Ites.

Carrie Underwood Wins 3 ACM Awards

Woo Hoo! Way to go girl. I haven't seen the show yet, but I read she won 3 of the 5 awards she was nominated for...Best Female Vocalist, Album of the Year and Video of the Year. Awesome job. Can't wait to fire up the TIVO tonite.
My sister says Kelly and Reba performed together. Can't wait to see that. I heard the show was great...lots of music. I can't wait to see Idol.

Life Is Good Again

1. I have Starbucks
2. I have a plug into the wall
3. A hot guy helped me achieve all of this.

Hee Hee. My flirting pays off in the most amazing ways. It's killer. Now he better shut up because I need to vote for Jordin. Yes, I have a pretty Mac and yes, it's cool you just bought one, and yes, I will look into getting a LoJack for my Mac, and yes, I'm sorry yours got stolen. Ok, you aren't so cute afterall. Eat your pizza and shut it.
Hey, San Diego Airport isn't so bad afterall. There are a ton of pissed people here. I'm on the Silicon Valley Express and there are mac laptops everywhere. Hey, I see that Chef Mario Batali. I just asked "hot guy" and he replied 'you got me baby'. Hee hee. what a flirto. He's on a business trip. hee hee, he has reading glasses. 1 Constantine deduction in hotness. In all honesty, thinking back, I should have given Chris a Constantine for that eye liner. I was giddy over the whole thing. But looking at the pic, he looks stupid.
I'm buying a new freakin' cell phone. I hate this stupid pink razor motorola piece of crappo. I can't hear anything. I just hung up on my husband because I asked him to drive to Sacramento to pick me up and then drive me to Oakland to get my car. He's like...COLE! ....blah blah blah....flat line. I just stopped listening. And then I hung up on him. I said, FINE, I'm pissed off and in my head I thought, you're going to pay. I'm going to turn the bedroom lights on FULL BLAST when I get home at midnite tonite. And then, you are getting a "sausage special" for dinner tomorrow night. Would you like that with or without cat litter crust?
hee hee.

Funny thing Google Is

Hey, so bare with me while I try to entertain myself here. I clicked into SiteMeter, where I like to see the world globe light up and I can see the people's location that read my blog in foreign lands. Anyway, a reader from CORK Ireland viewed the blog. And then I accidentally hit something and a page flies up that gives all the data on this person. (no worries, nothing personal, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo EXCEPT it shows the link this person came to my site from. He/She had googled "Smile Though Your Heart Is Breaking" and as you recall, smart readers that you are, I had that as a Title to the post after Gina was voted off. So, this person logged on to my site, because that's what pops up. Funny huh? Ok, maybe not to you, but toss me a virtual bone here.
Note: I am putting Google into every title from now on. Then let's watch the traffic increase. LOL

CHAD!!!!! DID YOU GO TO BED ALREADY? CHRISTINA!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! Checking blackberry now.

God Got Me All Right - Flight CANCELLED...STUCK IN SAN DIEGO

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! Heed my advice, never laugh at your mother and play tricks on her on Mother's Day Weekend. It empties out you Karma bank faster than I can eat a row of Girl Scout Thin Mints. Jeez.....WHY...WHY...WHY (warning, skip this post if you don't want to read me WHINE). I feel that this is catastrophic in the biggest sense. I am missing American Idol on THE final performance night. I'm in this fucking airport and I don't even know the numbers to freakin' call to vote for Jordin. Someone, in central or east time zone, email me the phone numbers for Jordin at cbronn@ea.com. I'm desperate. I will try to bribe the bartender in a bit, but there is a basketball game and baseball game on. Normally I support sports, but not tonite.
And to add insult to injury, I'm getting sick. And my laptop only has 51% power left. I was watching The Office on the plane flight here. The one where Michael bought a condo and they had the office olympics. HILARIOUS. I heart Jim Halpert. HOTTIE. Here's a little tip for everyone to look for in this week's episode, which I think is the finale. Over Michael Scott's desk (Steve Carrell for those just arriving back from their trip in the Space Station), there looks to be a diploma. If you stare really closely, you will see is is a CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION issued by Dunder Mifflin. I almost burst out laughing on the plane when I read that.
Hey, did I tell you a sweet girl named Amanda was on my flight to Albuquerque last week. She actually went and saw American Idol in person. Her aunt has a buddy that plays the drums in the band. Cool huh? I asked her tons of questions. She hated me after that flight. And then I saw she has a backpack with American Idol on it. She bought it at the Souvenir stand at the show. I WANT THE SOUVENIRS!!!!!!!! I could be one of THE coolest kids on the floor that Christina and I share in hell. (see her comments) Ok, that sucked 2% of my battery power. More later. Have to space out the fun. CHAD, ARE YOU THERE?

OMG

I just looked over at the dining room table. My mom is eating that fucking sausage. This does not bode well for my flight safety in a few hours. God is taking me down on this one.

Tonite's Final 3

Blake, WHY are you so proud of that shiteous tuxedo t-shirt. And why do you always dress in grey? To match your personality I assume. (sizzle) I wonder what songs Clive Davis will pick tonite. I think he might try and sabotage Jordin or McDooDoo by making them sing a Whitney song. Or the dreaded Celine. I wish Chris was still in and could have picked a JT song, like "What Comes Around". (McDooDoo, LOL, why am I just thinking of that funny name for her now? maybe I am the only one that thinks that's funny)
What do y'all think? Any ideas (on song choice, not McDooDoo names)? Sorry, I had an extra helping of mean juice on my granola bites this am. My bites are snappy. I'm really a nice person, offline.

DeeDee Sez....

Forgot to tell y'all what Dee Dee said to me at Daughtry concert the other night. I asked her if she liked the music. She said, "Yeah, isn't it amazing how these little American Idols can just pop up and get a record deal and they are as good as seeing the Rolling Stones in concert." LOL. BTW, she had no idea who we were going to see, not having watched Idol...but recognized the songs from the radio. Never watched Idol until this season. And only watches now so that she can understand the blog, Can you believe that? I know what you are thinking...she was raised by Aliens, but that's not true. Just JoJo and the Bobster.
Happy Tuesday everyone. Gotta go pack my treasures.

It's Tuesday in Texas-I'm Going Home, to a Place Where I Belong...

Yep, sadly, I leave Terre Firma Texas in a matter of hours. Printed my boarding pass already...Got an "A" pass on the Southwest Cattle Car express leaving Love Field at 4:50 and headed to San Diego before winging it up to Oakland. I'll land in my Casa and back with the hubby and kitties in less than 24 hours. It's a good thing too because I feel like if I stay longer I'm going to be even sadder to leave. They have EVERYTHING in TEXAS. Big Stores, Big Parking Spaces, Big Hair and Big Attitudes. My little sister yelled at me for putting my elbows on the table. Seriously. She's a mom so I shot her the evil eye, made a bitchy comment something like "This is why I live in California, my self-esteem cannot handle you and mom". Speaking of mom, I swear she has "jumped the shark" with some of HER BIG attitude. The sausage episode was just a preview of things to come. At Wal-Mart tonite, she had a fit because I wouldn't tell her I liked the movie "A Walk in the Clouds" with Keanu Reeves. It's filmed in Napa and she wanted me to buy it. I wouldn't even consider it and walked away...not really thinking much about it. Then I saw Dream Girls and said, "Hey mom, let's buy this and watch it tonite." And she looked at me like a bratty 4 year old and said "I don't know anything about it, not interested." (total lie by the way) I swear to God where is this attitude coming from? This is the same kick-ass fun person watching Daughtry with me, suddenly crying over trashed sausage and Keanu Reeves. Suddenly she's been overtaken by Jewish yentls or something. I gave her a death stare and said, "Let's Go. You're killing me." Oh my god, I forgot this is my American Idol blog, not my "My Life is A Circus" blog. Back to Idol.
The Final 3 are on their final leg of the competition, and that means the IDOL PR machine goes into HYPER DRIVE. It also means we only have 8 more days until our lovely little dish session on Season 6 comes to the end of it's first season of blogging. (holding back the tears now). So, Jay Leno has the BIG 3 on tonite (not simon, randy and pauler, but blake, doo and Jordin). And they seated Jordin next to Jay, Blake in the middle and Melinda in the far away seat. Ok, first things first, Jay asked a question and they said they don't read the internet. Then Melinda said it was upsetting to hear things about her looking like Shrek. Oh SHIT, I hate that. As you know I posted a pick of her on this blog (CHRIS!!!!!!). I felt bad. Sort of. So to make it up to her, I promise to buy one of her songs off Itunes, if she ever gets a cd. I might even buy the whole cd, but atleast .99 cents is yours Doolittle. Promise. Pinky swear.
Leno asked them what they thought of Sanjaya. The girls gave the politically correct answer but Blake, he just rolled his eyes, whistled a little tune and reached for the coffee mug of vodka. So, clearly no love for Sanjaya from Blakey. I have to say, Blake was the most impressive in this trio. He handled the interview the best I think. Jordin was animated and cute, as a 17 year old would be. She ain't no smooth Joss Stone, as CW mentioned in her blog. She's just a normal kid. Melinda just kept telling that lame ass story about how her and some friends came to audition just so they could laugh at the bad people. Found that they had to audition to get in to see the bad people. Never intended on auditioning. Now that pisses me off. She took the spot of someone that really dreamed of this being their break into the biz. She was happy with her place...I don't get it. Who wants to root for someone who wasn't even rooting for themselves and dreaming of audience day and practicing and had a song prepared and everything. Come to think of it...I don't think anyone shows up on a whim...I think she is lying. there I said it.
Finally, Taylor Hicks performs at the end of the show. His new album, song...blah blah blah. It was ok, but I can't get past his funky chicken dance moves. He looks better now than he did on the show, I will say that. he has a Clooney look with the grey hair now.
Ok, nitey night Idol Ites.

Rankings for the Final 3, as Coley B sees it...

Here are the Final 3 as I see it.
1. Jordin
2. Melinda
3. Blake
Christina, I just read your blog on USA Today. I'm glad you found me from that site, and I in turn, keep up with you. Here's Christina's predicted 3:
1. Doohickie
2. Blake
3. Jordan
Christina, you made some great points in defense of your picks, but in the end I feel you are FULL OF SHIT :p Jordin is going to win, not come in 3rd, as you predict. Really, love you...mean it...but we have to agree to disagree on this one. As I've said before, I don't see a lot of depth with Blake, and I don't see myself wanting to watch an interview with him on Entertainment Tonite. I do not deny that Melinda has a voice. I don't think she is an American Idol. Jordin can step into the cast of "That's So Raven, Hanna Montana or any of those girly girl young artists (think early Hilary Duff and Avril L.) and will be a true force in the very near future.

Let's the competition begin. Love to hear everyone else's thoughts at this point of competition.

Nitey Night. I'm exhausted. Going back to California tomorrow. Happy and Sad.
