Reba to the Rescue

Not that Kelly Clarkson needs rescuing, just someone in her corner of the ring. I have a little bit of interesting news I uncovered mining the wide wide world of web tonite. Most of you have probably heard that Kelly fired her manager after the cancelling of her tour. She fired "The Firm" and it was announced this week that "Starstruck Entertainment" is taking over the management of Kelly C. Starstruck is headed up by CEO Narvel Blackstock. Who? He's Mr. Reba McEntire. yep, Reba has set her girl Kelly up with her man Narvel. And, even though he is CEO, he is personally handling her management. Furthermore, Reba has just recorded a country version of "Because of You" that she and Kelly arranged together and performed on CMT Crossroads. She has included it on her next album. Ka-Ching for KC, as Kelly wrote that song when she was 16 years old. Hello? And, as a #1 Hit, it also won her the ASCAP Song of the Year award last year.

Being included on Reba's album will definitely broaden her fan base. I look to see alot of albums flying off the shelf as a result of her participation in the Live Earth concerts today. Many industry watchers believe that her 'missteps' were not missteps at all and that Reba, who is notorious for going against industry execs in her career, has had a hand in Kelly's recording of My December for some time. Kelly wrote or co-wrote every song on My December, which is hilariously referred to as the "Jagged Little Idol" album by one columnist.

As I said, if you are a fan of Kelly, I don't think the MUSIC is bad...it's the vibe of the lyrics that people are getting caught up in. Yes, she yells like Amy Lee in some songs, but so what? Scott Stapp sounded like Pearl Jam to me and still does. Joss Stone imitates what's her bucket...Janis Joplin. Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holiday don't even have different first names they are so alike. Anyway, this concludes today's cheerleading session for Kelly.

Carrie Underwood continues to be EVERYWHERE and is more stunning by the moment. She just won the "Most Beautiful Vegetarian" of 2007 award. What a weird one. Evidently a big deal, and I guess 'beautiful' is "inside and out" in the judging.

Ok, so the funniest thing I saw on tv today was the promo for some new commedian show on E! tv. Some chick...can't remember her name, but he's the recap. Picture 3 gabby gals sitting around at a pub slinging back some cocktails and dishing. One of them is overheard saying...What's up with Angelina Jolie's kids anyway? And that Maddox always is frowning. The other chick pipes up (she is the commedian) "I'll tell you why, 'cuz Maddox thought he won the lottery and his one way ticket out of a 3rd world country, and all Brad and Angie do is drag him to other 3rd world countries. He's pissed, and he wants to know when that bitch is taking him back to Hollywood." Ha ha ha. I will be watching that show.

In other news, Top Chef hostess Padma Loskhmi (sp?) and her hubby Salmon Rushdie are divorcing. And CW had just scooped us with the news that they were married, and now 'kaput'. I need to catch up on Top Chef's too. And I have dropped So You Think You Can Dance. I wholeheartedly HATE that woman who is a cross between Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr and Marie Osmond. I can't stand her. And I hate Nigel Lythgoe and his hair. And the other judges, whatev.

I love the news about Nick Lachey and VM getting caught in the hot tub f'ing. ha ha. Stupid asses. Don't tell me that they didn't think they would get caught. Puh-leeze. But I do feel bad for that guy, for a little bit. Mostly that he was ever married to that doh-doh bird JSimpson. Vmill doesn't seem to be that amped up in the braincell activity area either. Have you seen the pics of her and LiLo and the knife. yep, that's what I do with my gfriends on Sat. night. Bored, sit around, and take slasher girl in porn pose pics. And then I'm stupid enough to let dumbasses sell them to the tabs. I guess Nick likes them hot and dumb.

Today is the luckiest day of the century. Hope you got lucky 'cuz I got a flat tire on my bike. :(
I don't care though. I love my bike. I came walking up the street and Greg thought I had fallen off. ha ha. He came running up an said "What happened, did you take a header?" He really isn't concerned about my well being that much. He is fascinated about the calamities I get in, really. He just wanted to hear a good crash story and was actually disapointed at a flat tire story. I should have embellished as I usually do, but I was tired.

Guess what? We found out the neighbors have been taking our oranges, which we told them to do, but suddenly we find that they actually taste good. Now that our tree is nearly stripped. haha. Kidding. It's the weirdest thing. The oranges have tasted like ass for so many years and this year, it's like they are on a orange tree sugar drip IV. I ate 2 today!!! I'm having fresh squeezed oj tomorrow, if I can get the ladder out and not fall on my ass. And beat the neighbor to them. Actually, I'm trading him oranges for white corn on the cob. He has to drive the country to get it. He's 75, what else is he gonna' do? I see him eyeballing my tomato plants too.

Well enough of my stupid b'ssing for tonite. I have a slight case of insomnia. Alot of work on my mind which is making me sort of sick. I'll confess, this has been a long post because I am patiently waiting for my newest Jell-O concoction to set in the fridgy. This has kept my mind occupied because I keep going in there and sticking the spoon in and it's still soupy. I have ZERO patience for jell-o setting. I want instant gratification.

ok, bye now.

PS. I miss American Idol.
