It's awriight...but not good enough for me to purchase on Itunes. I believe this is soundtrack for movie 2012. Whatevs.
In other disappointing news, I listened to the 2 new Carrie Underwood singles on Itunes. Yawn. Nope, not buying it. Even if she is drop dead gorgeous on the album cover. I thought she could never look prettier and then there you go!
I close with my most shocking news...I like the Kris Allen song. It's totally not what I expected. Seriously, check it out.
Did you hear Jordin Sparks got a guest star gig on Disney's The Suite Life on Deck tv show? Some Disney kids stuff.
J-Hud had her baby boy and got 2 Soul Train nominations.
Kelly Pickler dyed her hair red. The carpet no longer matches the drapes. Sorry, but I freakin' cannot stop laughing when I hear naughty boys say that. hee hee
Little Archuleta has a Christmas From the Heart album coming out. Now, I have a real penchant for Christmas music and I love his voice, so as long as it isn't Jingle Bells, I'll probably buy it.
And Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson continue to be superstars...both with successful second singles from their latest releases.
Every scandalous creepy politician should be forced to watch this video at their inauguration.
He took a very bad situation, admitted to it, injected humor, and left the audience with "meh, much ado about nothin'". WOW!
Seriously, I can't believe how elequently he handled this. FACE on, BALLS OUT, Dead on looking at the camera. Seriously, can you imagine if Clinton had just been honest? Or John Edwards? Or the mysterious hiker Governor? Or the New York City gay politician with a wife and kids...OK I have to stop there because I need to do something else today and I think there are limits to the length of a blog...
Could this be a new trend toward honesty? I hope he does not become vilified in the press, offering encouragement for future ethics violators to feel good for owning up to their mistakes. Or hey, here's an idea...do you think these men that can't keep Little Johnny in their pants would start to figure out that Little Johnny escapades eventually make it to YouTube? Seriously.
While I don't condone David Letterman having extra-relationship affairs (because he was not married when this happened, but had been with his partner for 20+ years), I do believe it was consensual, it's not illegal, and it's none of the public's business.
Should he have had the affairs? Well, yes, if he didn't care about the outcome of getting caught, if he felt the embarrassment would be less painful than foregoing a relationship he felt was important. No matter how skewed we view his thinking, this is a morale misstep in the eyes of the majority of Americans eyes, not an illegal one. (It remains to be seen if he gets in trouble for sleeping with staffers for which he had direct control of their careers, which is in fact illegal if the staffer takes him up on sexual harassment charges, which they obviously did not, so he probably didn't. How's that for a run-on sentence?)
So, seriously, this is what fascinates me most about celebrities. No one acts out human drama better than celebs. It's always a great study of human nature. Usually, you can't make shit up as good as what they come up with in real life. Do you agree?
I leave you with these questions to ponder over your lunchtime Dr. Pepper, tuna sandwich and bag 'o Fritos...(one of my favorite combos, and I'll tell you why...the Dr.P is sweet, counteracting the salt of the Fritos. The Fritos are crunchy, counteracting the soggy tuna on bread, and the Tuna? What does it counteract? Having to eat another fucking Turkey sandwich. Back to our regularly scheduled programming....)
Do you think CBS should give David some sort of penalty? A celebrity time-out? Make him interview D listers for a month?
Do you think this should just fade away...
Are you interested in the outcome of the skizzball that was the blackmailer? He's a producer on 48 hours and has been suspended. This was no joke.
For those of you who don't know, he had a relationship with one of Dave's exes, who confided her past, and he decided to use the info...after his girlfriend dumped him, to get out of debt.
According to my morning talkshow radio hosts, Sarah and Vinnie FM 97.5, he could be facing up to 15 years in prison.
Well, this has been a fun Friday, that's for sure.
Book your tickets now for Rio...they won the Olympics in 2016. won't really matter because according to the Mayan calendar, it's all over for us Earthlings in 2012. Run those credit cards up NOW!
Ok, what the f? I left this heat and humidity behind in Texas I thought. It seems God is playing a weather trick on me and giving me 104 degree temps on Saturday. I got my wig dusted and busted (haircut) on Saturday, and I looked at her like she was nuts when she lifted the blowdryer. It's 104 outside, we are not blowing my hair dry. Seriously.
I went home to watch all my TIVOs for the week. And here's what I think...
The Good Wife - great show. Do not miss it. Modern Family - Funny, hope it grows on me Community - Love Joel McHale and Chevy Chase, but the pace of the show is seriously show...and off. I feel like Chevy is trying too hard to be Michael Scott.
Despite a major protest during TV negotiations, my husband prevailed and Grey's Anatomy stayed on the TIVO list. It was a good 2 hour premiere, I admit, but .... yawn. It's hard to look at Katherine Heigl and not see her as a whiny-ass movie star now.
Curb Your Enthusiasm..awesome as always, Entourage...of course excellent.
Bored to Death: new HBO with Jason Schwartzman Awesomeness. think Big Lebowski meets Columbo. I think.
Why is Khloe Kardashian getting married, and why do I care?
Did I tell you my new cellphone ring tone is the Theme to American Idol. Ha ha. People laugh when it comes on. My hubby screams..."Idol...your phone is ringing. It's Paula!" LOL
I didn't watch Amazing Race yet or Madman from tonite. I will tell you that this is the BEST Survivor ever, already. There is a 'mean ass' guy who got up in the middle of the night and poured out all the canteens of water, after he drank tons of it himself, and then he through a few random socks in the fire, just to be mean. He's a multi-millionaire oilman from Houston and does not even need the money. He's doing it to prove how easy it is to win the show. Drama-A-Rama Llama.
Can one of you genius's please tell me why I keep getting emails that "so and so" is following you on Twitter. Don't you have to approve people to follow you? Like Facebook friends. Seriously, there are like 20 strangers following me. I don't and haven't Tweeted in like months. If I want to talk, it ain't gonna be squeezed into 140 characters or less. I can't even get my point across is less than 500 characters I'm thinking.
My new favorite show is guaranteed to be "COMMUNITY". Starring Joel McHale from The Soup, and has Chevy Chase. enough said. Here'a preview clip. WArning, it gives alot of the first show funnies up...I hate that but it was so funny I couldn't stop watching.
In the drama category, I am adding THE GOOD WIFE to Must See ColeyTV(tm) . I loves me some Chris Noth and Julianna Marguiles was the only thing besides Clooney that kept me watching ER. Glad to see you back, girlfriend.
Of course, I'll be watching flipping all the REality shows because I wasn't able to make it to TV Rehab this summer so, my addiction continues...Survivor, Amazing Race...both on the docket. I think this might be my last season of Grey's Anatomy. We know too much about their personal lives now and they don't seem like characters anymore. Katherine Heigl is a movie star...as is Patrick Dempsey...and I don't know.
Ugly Betty ...well, the cheese has fallen off that cracker. I'm sort of done with that. But, no doubt I'll watch it...addiction, see paragraph above.
Ok, that's my early warning. Oh and don't watch Melrose Place. As if.
First, that drunk tool is getting more media attention than he deserves and this is what he wanted anyway. He likes being outrageous and so we reward him by talking about it. It's like reporting on the people that jump from the Golden Gate Bridge...they don't. Because they don't want to make it look cool and bring it to the public, thus encouraging other people to seek the notoriety.
And Kanye seeks negative notoriety, because he's a fame whore. It's like bad kids. Any attention, even if parents are beating them, is still attention.
Honestly, I don't know why they are so shocked at this behavior. And MTV deserves exactly what they got by not denying him access to the show after his last stunts. MTV is partially to blame. I would respect them so much if he got a 5 year ban, just like people caught doing drugs do in the sport world. And hello??? Did they not see him drinking directly from a Hennessy bottle on the red carpet and in the audience. What message does that send to the MTV target audience? Who by the way are not of drinking age yet...some of them.
Kelly Clarkson had the best blog of all...this is from the website The Superficial, where the guy who writes if funny as fuck. ------------ Kelly Clarkson hopped on her blog to tell Kanye West about himself:
Dear Kanye, What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I've seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you...which is pretty odd since I don't even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really?? I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her...so why can't you be?? I'm not even mad at you for being an asshole...I just pity you because you're a sad human being. On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!! Taylor Swift, you outsell him ....that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl! KC :) ----------------
Because writing full paragraphs is hard, other celebs took to their Twitters to bash Kanye: ----------- "Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me." - Pink
"FUCK U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN." - Katy Perry
"I'm gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion" - Diddy
"congrats @taylorswift13 on your vma!!! you deserve it more than anyone!! I saw the devil in action when kanye west stole your mic! u rock!!!" - Heidi Montag
-------------
Kanye only continued to be the egotistical tool he has always been, and for everyone to be surprised, surprises me! Ban him and keep him off air, and watch what happens...and then forgive him, because he has some talent but needs to learn a harsh lesson...like Michael Vick.
Ok Jeffro...thanks for asking for my opinion.
Now let's hear what everyone else thinks about Taylor being a cross-over artist now. Wow! BY the way she is the first female to be nominated for Entertainer of the Year by the CMA in 9 years...Faith HIll was the last. I bet she wins. Watch it!
Personally, I think Taylor is rocketed by her songs. She can write some fucking good lyrics. But her voice is nothing compared to the other woman in her league...Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce'. Even Lady Blah Blah.
OMG, I'm watching that lame ass movie that Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini made. I'm sorry but nothing else is on...And Kelly Clarkson 8 years ago is amazing. OMG, she was a NOBODY. She has horrible hair highlights that look like worms.
It's a 19 Enterntainment produced movie. Remember that crappy movie that they hooked her into making? I hope she made a s-load of cash. I think this is supposed to be like Frankie Vallie /Annette Funicello Beach Blanket Bingo kind of thing right?
Oh crap, Justin is on the screen now. Ok, I'm 3 minutes into this. Seriously, I think it's time to mute. It's hard to think Justin is a play-ah. He's gay. Seriously.
Ok, Kelly's chubby butt is on the sands of Miami beach and she's wearing green combat shorts. Oh lord it's a freaking musical. OMG. It's High School Musical on sand. Switching channels now!
Sorry I subjected you to this horrible experience. I hope I can sleep tonite.
OMG. If you could hear me now, I'm telling you I am giddy and almost speechless. Thank you everyone that gave the me head's up because the lame ass radio show I listen to in the am must have talked all about it before I got in the car.
People, can you imagine how hysterical she is going to be? CAn't you see her making faces at Simon. Or trying to slip the tongue to Kara? I bet they split the girls up because Ellen will be flirting too much with KD.
Ellen will cry alot too. I love her. LOVE her. I mean seriously, she's my all-time "if I was Lesbian for a day" crush. She's so funny. You know funny is an aphrodisiac to me. I can't believe spell check didn't highlight that word. Did I spell it correctly? I almost shouted over the cube wall...how do you spell aphrodisiac but stopped myself. Can you imagine?
Well, what to do, what to do. I wish I could slip into a four month coma so I wouldn't have to endure the wait. I'd wake up just before my birthday on Dec. 5....sleep again until Jesus' bday, and then awake for the Idol Premiere. Notice I chose to sleep through the New Year's eve celebration. Does that give you a hint as to how boring I am? I don't think I have ever been to a NYE party in my life.
Ok, I'm so embarrassed. I logged on for the first time today...it's been exactly 1 month since I last posted. My self-imposed blog rehab is complete. What did I learn in rehab.
Well, I learned that there is life outside the blog. I found that when crazy quirky shit happened to me, I simply did not need to share it with the world...and it would be ok.
I learned that people missed me.
I learned that I missed you too.
And so, with 30 days behind me, I logged on, only to find that people kept coming to the blog. I was clued in when I got an random alert that 'so-and-so' was now "following me on Twitter". WTF? Twitter? Where am I going on Twitter? I vaguely remember getting a Twitter account but seriously, between that and Facebook and this blog and my knitting store and my knitting website and my fall knitting class schedule, I'm on fucking OVERLOAD.
I'm rockin' it old school now. I bought a spiral bound notebook for my purse. The old school Palm Pilot. Good old paper and pen and no fucking batteries or chargers. My Blackberry has failed me so many times lately. I keep missing meetings because they 'fell off my calendar' according to IT. I looked at the bottom of my purse and I see no letters spilled down there, so PLEASE explain to me how I missed my 10:30 am meeting dammit.
So 8 people logged on today and I've had 150 visits this week. Who the hell is reading this blog and why? I'm thrilled but seriously, I thought there were like 17 of you out there. Tink is the only one that writes me. Jeffro has left the planet.
So, I survived the Bay Bridge Shutdown 2009, got the t-shirt and came out unscathed. How about y'all?
My yarn store is good. Pretty funny actually. The people range from crazy to super-crazy and a lot in between there.
What is everyone going to watch in the new fall season? You know the filler time between summer and American Idol? LOL
Community with Joel McHale and Chevy Chase is all I can see that is interesting so far. Maybe the show the the dad from Married with Children.
So, I'll try to write more often. And thanks for coming to visit my blog. I still loves you lotsie.
Oh, how could I have abandoned my blog, after seeing this movie? My "fans" have been commenting, but I have abandoned you, I admit it, for my Yarn shop.
Well, I'm sorry.
And let me just tell you, I cried buckets of tears in that movie, because of things that happened that parallel my life...on a tiny scale of course.
Please go see the movie so I can write more without breaking your experience.
You have 2 weeks to go see it. You won't regret it. Awesome movie, and really not what you think it's going to be.
So, what do I think about this late-breaking news.
Well, seriously, I got really tired of her hitting Simon and using all of the contestants valuable feedback time cavorting with Cowell. It almost got to be like "how much time can I force the tv camera to stay focused on me?"
I would criticize her for losing focus on what she claims she was there for...to nurture and support young talent that was suddenly being thrust into the spotlight. It became more about her and her Cowell antics, and less about helping them understand how to be better in their next performance. I think she became more interested in the revitalization of her own career and less about helping to launch new ones.
Dummy.
Am I thrilled we have just Kara DeGuardi? Not really. But what I want more is for Randy Jackson to step up to the plate. Get down brotha'! Bring it! You were once a groovin' dude and now I barely recall a thing you said. "We got a hot one tonite" was like 2 seasons back right?
Will I still watch the show. Yes, of course. I mean I want to die being able to recite all the idols in order, right? LOL
Read the article. It's pretty telling. I love her so much for speaking her mind. She's often said that she has saved enough money to be able to live just fine for the rest of her life, if she walked away from showbiz today. And if they don't stop fucking with her, she make just take her money and "Just Walk Away". hey hey hey heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!
Alexis Cohen, probably the Idol contestant known for giving the most vicious f-finger kiss off to Simon ever, has been killed in a hit-and-run accident on the New Jersey shore.
Very, very sad. Mostly because she actually made the "www.celebritydeathbeeper.com" email blast. She must be smiling from heaven (or other areas unknown to us) having been deemed a celebrity as a result of her untimely demise.
Thanks NJ Fan for the scoop. Since this happened in your own state...perhaps you can let us all know if they find the culprit.
People, why are you reading this blog when you should be online downloading Daughtry's new album. OMG, it is stellar beyond stellar.
Ok, now look, I know you don't believe me because I love everything, but seriously, I have been objective in the past. I had that "My Life would Suck without you song' by KC and I said it from the get - go.
Back to DAughtry. Hello? Sophomore album better than first one? I'm thinking so...although I'm not sure there is a "HOME" or Start Over anthem ballad mega hit, atleast it didn't hit me quite yet, but I have only listened to it 2 times so far. BUT, it does not have a bad track on it....a weak one, but not one I zip past like the Slash song on his debut cd.
Daughtry's album blows David Cook's out of the atmosphere. No comparison. Cook is nowhere in the league of Daughtry. Not even close. It's VERY apparent with this new cd, "Leave This Town".
I can't believe I actually am liking this movie. OMG, I am never going to grow up. I will be watching Gossip Girl and The Hills when I am 80 years old.
ooh, this is way better than I thought...except I hate scary movies...how can I like this. I actually had to stop knitting.
What the hell? Where is the first 6 months of 2009 go?
First, where the hell did I go? Well, I've been on blog sabbatical, of course. Because I was feeling stale and bored and I had to get over the let down of Idol. I'm not sure Idol can spark it for me anymore. Seriously.
Just got back from Lake Tahoe. Went with the husband unit...and we were crashing at Harvey's Casino because we got a room for 71.00! ha. So we hauled our boat up there to go out on the Lake. We got there on Monday and were sitting in the steak house eating our 9 million dollar salads, when someone walked up to my table and said "Hey! What are you doing here?" and for fuck's sake it was my best friend from Texas A&M. OMG, I was so freaked out. Now, I have seen him like 3 months ago, so it hasn't been that long, but seriously? Of all the places to run into someone...a steakhouse at Harvey's Casino is kind of odd. He lives in like 5 cities, so for him to travel to Lake Tahoe was a rarity alone. He and his partner sat down and joined us for din din and we had Bananas Foster at the table and everything!!!
My husband and I are gambling snobs. In that we don't believe in gambling. It's just weird to us. HOWEVER, I asked G Snob Hub if we could each burn 20.00 just because, and he said sure. (Editorial note: "asking" is a loose term.. I would do it anyway but it was a professional courtesy. I do work bitches and I can spend my money how I want)
So after dinner, which my friend paid for!!! whoo hoo, we went to the penny slots. Yes 1 cent. and burned 5 bucks in 20 secs and went upstairs to bed.
Night #2. Finished dinner at Hard Rock Cafe (whatevs...no other choice really) and went over to another penny slot. Well this time I turned 10 bucks into 20. Whoo Hoo. Cashed in and went to bed
Day #3...travel home day. Shot out of bed at 8:00 am. Knew hubby would take his usual 45 min shower. put hair in ponytail because gambling fever had struck. I had a pennyslot nagging at me in my sleep. So, just as he got up, I said..."see ya', going to get Starbuck and penny slots on way back up until 9:30 when you get out of shower. He gave me the eyeball, said "Oh boy" and laughed.
I TURNED 10 BUCKS INTO 30 BUCKS. Yowzah! I was giddy. GIDDY I TELL YOU. God Forbid I hit it big because I will be in the padded cell of a big house some where. I ran upstairs and right into that bathroom. I said "wipe the fog off the shower door..and slapped that winning slip on it! He laughed his ass off.
I made him call me Winnie (short for Winner) the rest of the day. And I chanted "I'm a winner in life" all day just to make him laugh. It was a 4 hour drive home.
Oh I forgot, just as we pulled out of town, the lady at the border station (where we had to stop for boat inspection) told us..."oh, Hwy 50 is closed for 1 to 4 hours so expect a delay." What the fuck??? We whipped that bad ass 55 foot rig of our in reverse, did a bat turn, and went home via the other side of the lake. yes, that is an extra hour trip but we made it home in 4 hours.
Sorry, not much talking about Michael Jackson today. I'm embarrassed at how we as a country are treating the loss of a human life. A life that brought so much happiness to millions at what appears to be a sacrifice of his own sanity and happiness. I pray his children are not doomed to the same fate. Please let them find some normalcy in their upbringing.
I will say one other thing...I saw Michael Jackson on the Thriller tour at Texas Stadium in Dallas, Texas. He was magnificent, mesmorizing and most assuredly, a memory I will always treasure.
I'm loving it. He's getting his just deserves. Especially after all he did making fun of dumb Miss California, who totally deserved it, but he put a magnifying glass on it.
Now let's read about the cheating governor who disappeared for days...
Politicians...omg. What the 'f is wrong with them?
That little Suri Cruise is the cutest celeb baby EVah! I don't care if her dad is a alleged Scientologist freak...I worship yarn and fried foods. Don't be hatin'.
I think she will grow up to be just stunning. She has the most interesting eyes, just like her momma. Who is not a freak. She just loves her man. And who are you kidding, if he pursued you, I bet you wouldn't care what the hell he worshipped, as long as you were top of the list.
Poor David Archuleta. That Dad of his will always be an albatross around his neck. Poor thing.
Now that asswipe has been picked up for soliciting a prostitute. Actually, it was more than that...they busted the massage parlor and asked if there was anyone there, and he was picked up 'after the sexual gratification was complete'. Ewwwww! PERVY dude.
How sad for that sweet little Archie. You know he loves his Dad. And he's about to go on tour with Demi Lovato. Sadness.
I hope Poppa Archie burns in Mormon Hell for this one. Pecker wood. Who does he think he is?
Ok, so I'm old. I was a little girl and he was the heart throb before David Cassidy, I believe. OMG. Look at him now!
He's a cop at 63. Imagine what he feels like knowing he was a teenage heart throb...
I still like Shawn Cassidy most of all.
Most of my crushes ended with the stars in rehab. Leif Garrett, Scott Baio, Willie Aames...what a pack of losers...or just plain 'off'd themselves (Andy Gibb). Sad era in the boy rocker days...Find it hard to believe the Backstreety Boys and NSync have managed to keep it together.
This shit is awesome. Say what you will, I loves me some Speidi. They are such trainwrecks and seriously they believe they are the most popular celebs of all time.
I guess it's time to break the news that I have re-invented myself, yet again.
I have redirected my energies from blogging to entering the world of owning a business...
I opened a yarn shop called The Yarn Cottage, as you see in the picture above.
I know you just thought my knitting was a hobby, but it's an obsession and I love it and so I dove in and opened a shop in town...actually moved into some space in an existing gift shop. It's quite fun.
So, I'll keep you all posted from time to time...and will most assuredly be back for American Idol next season. Hope you all are enjoying the Adam Lambert Rolling Stone interview and photos. And also the unbelievable speed in which Kris Allen has become irrelevant. Did he even make ONE magazine cover? Seriously?
Enjoy the summer! I'll check in with you occasionally!
I decided I would write again when I found something fun to write about...namely the news after Idol. OMG, what a fucking buzzkill that was. I mean seriously. That season really ended with a big old clunker. The winner is as exciting as watching grass grow. And all we really get is Clay Aiken taking pot shots? As if? Mr. Spamalot is the spokesperson of who should win Idol. By the way, you did take second place like Adam, Gayken.
I love that Adam pot shotted back with "if this is how Clay gets his name in headlines, I'm happy to help him out. We hadn't heard anything about him for awhile, had we?" Meoww...hiissssss...cat claws out!
There's nothing I like more than a gay piss-off.
Well, I got nothing else. Except Everyone think of ME on Tuesday when the game I work on "the Sims 3" ships on Tuesday! Whoo Hoo!
Was I shocked? Hell no, because I told all of you that Gokey votes were not going to Adam. It's simple math people.
I am not sad for Adam. He's on the cover of US Magazine before tonite's results. He's a rock star and the AI title would have hurt him more than helped. He'll go Daughtry on us. Probably crazier, of course. There are managers beating down his door, but they probably have to get past Simon first.
So, during the Kris Allen performance with Keith Urban, were you thinking he would go country? Probably should think about it. Contemporary country is pretty hot still. Taylor Swift is rolling up to the bank in her Barbie Dream Machine and shoveling in the dough in by the fists fulls.
So, what was your favorite moment of the show?
I'll shake 'em down for you.
Hands down: Kara's performance where she ripped her dress open. Balls to the wall ballsy. I loved it and I have a total new respect for that woman..and hello? she has a voice. And that silicone sally tried to keep singing. OMG. Oh MY GOD what a dumbass.
I love Santana, hated Stewart
Cyndi Lauper was sitting with her legs spread so far apart, I expected her to give birth. She looked like she was ready for a PAP. All that was missing was the stirrups.
Megan Joy, thank you for getting voted off because if I had had to listen to that voice for more weeks, I personally would need hearing aids today.
Randy Jackson stole from the Michael Jackson museum to come up with that Military coat.
Heather Locklear was in the crowd with her daughter, as she is every year. Spoiled brat gets front row seats every year.
David Cook was rocket hot. He's so awesome. What a nice, humble huge human being he is. God shines his light on him, in his darkest hours. That song was written for his brother, who passed 2 weeks ago, for those that did not know.
Kara's song for the winner sucked. It was all over the place like a hot mess. ugh.
Did I tell y'all how much I hated work today? Just thought I'd throw that in there. But I did buy a new EA Sports Active game and I'm going to start xcersizin' in my livin' room like Jane Fonda did, once upon a time.
So, Simon did not stand up and cheer for Kris. The other 3 judges, who were not raised by wolves, showed common decency and stood with applause. Egghead Simon.
So, tell me what you guys think. I'll write more tomorrow. I hope I see alot of Adam interviews.
Well, here we are people. Last night's show was interesting. Adam mopped up the floor with Kris's tiny mustache. Or was that a chocolate milk stain. Looks ridiculous.
I just have to say Adam is the most entertaining Idol we have ever had come to the finals. He was amazing. Carrie Underwood rocked. The rest of them were just filler. Paula's dress looked like it came from discount rack at The Dress Barn and Kara had her hair done by a drag queen. But no one, AND I MEAN, NO ONE, was dressed worse than Randy. HELLO? All I could see was Chris Farley and the Matt Foley Skit "I live in a van down by the river". It was the same plaid suit.
So, who will win? Should be Adam, but if the gay haters blow it out and voted last night, Kris "milk toast" Allen from Arkansas will be our winner. Atleast he isn't from a densely populated state that will vote on geography alone.
So, as I predicted, Adam & Allen showdown. Hokey Pokey Gokey is headed back to the land of cheese don'tcha know. Let's give a big Lambeau Leap to our Packer fan Danny and wish him the best on his record, sure to release this fall. I predict a Clay Aiken career for him. He could be the next Dave Matthews. Not cool enough, I know.
So a Kris and Adam finale. Wow. Milk toast man and Acid rocker. What a spectrum of personality we have here.
And only 1,000,000 votes separate them. Now, listen people. I believe Adam is in trouble. I predict a Kris Allen win, and I'll tell you why. The 20 or so million votes that went to Gokey, now have to go somewhere, theoretically. I predict they will go to Kris before they go to Adam. I'm just sayin'. I think Kris and Gokey split the votes. And more Gokeys will go to Kris.
I really like Kris, to be honest. I think Adam is more talented and we all know he does NOT need the win to get a rock album produced. No problem. Archuleta did just fine without winning.
So, I thought the show was great. But my buddy Sheila was over and we were yappin' and eating tacos and I just wasn't into watching the show. Sorry. I missed Jordin. I'll watch it tomorrow.
xoxo peeps. Our Season 8 is almost over.
Oh, and you can buy Daughtry's new single on Itunes now. Yummy.
And for those of you who have not bought K. Clarkson...what the hell? You are missing out. It's really a great album. I hear like 5 hits on that thing. If you buy one song on Itunes, "Don't Make Me Stop You" is one song that you will hear in your head over-and-over. It's so great. Has that anthem feel like some of her first super megahits from Breakaway.
Gokey, Kris and Adam. Have we ever had a final 3 of testosterone? Hasn't there always been a set of boobies in there? It's odd to me tonite. By the way, Alison was on ELLEN and she busted it out awesome.
So, Pauler puts Gokey in the dumper from the get-go. Terrence Trent Duh-by? What? Even Gokey didn't know it. So, yuk. And he did aiirright, but not enough to win my vote.
Kris Allen...Apologize. Awesome song. Love One Republic. Oooh Look...they got him behind the piano. That's nice. Ok, so it was ok, but not a barn burner really. He is just kind of sortof boring. I've always said that.
And now for Adam. Um, say what you will, but he is the winner you know. Seriously.
So, of course, Simon pulls in the big U2 guns and hello? ONE hell of a performance. I hate to say it but I love that gay boy.
SONG'S #2: What is Hokey Pokey Gokey going to choose to sing? You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. Great choice. Let's see if he pulls it off. Oh, this is just stunningly beautiful. Like the perfect arrangement for his voice. It MADE IT HIS OWN. And it went from ballad to energetic and passionate. Now I see glimpses of David Cook in him on this performance. I think he nailed it and may have just locked in #2 position for next week. Seriously. Nice, nice job and more importantly stunning emotion and passion. Randy and Kara agree with me, wisely. Pauler loved it. Simon...here we go. WOW Vocal Master Class. Now, I hope the 12 year olds with their fingers
Kris Allen....SINGING KANYE WEST, Heartless. NUH-Uh? What? If his plan is to bust out, he may just do it. Crazy. I can't wait to hear this. Ok, so this is insane. It's so risky. He has some rappin' going on and no backup music. Just acoustic guitar. Wow. That was crazy. I loved it. I swear I cannot believe that guy pulled that out. Betcha' Simon hated it, I'll tell you 'indulgent' will come out of his mouth. Paula, we are so sick of you digging at Simon. Seriously. OK, Simon shocked me and he says he was great. So, good job.
Ok, I have to say, Kris and Adam finale would make me happy. Really. With Adam winning it all. I would be happy if Kris won though. Or Gokey. I guess that means none of them really are my FAVES. Listen, when Daughtry was voted out, I was so depressed. I cried. I was despondent. Seriously. And if David Cook had lost, I would have cried crocodile tears. Can you guys believe I didn't watch Kelly Clarkson win in the first season? And Carrie Underwood was killer and I loved Bo Bice. Ok, so thanks for letting me go down memory lane. For those of you who wanted to see Fantasia, Reuben, Taylor or Jordan have a big career...sorry. (though Jordan has some awesome songs, and let's be thankful Chris Brown didn't whack her in the studio.)
Adam...Aerosmith...Crying. This is going to KILL. OMG. I cannot wait. Thanks to TIVO I don't have to...and can play it dozens of times. And I will. I hate the backup bitch that is stepping on Adam's vocal. Who the hell is that? Sounds like Melinda Doolittle.
Ok, I like Aerosmith's version better, but whatever, who cares...he's a rock star. Our first gay Rock star, if you don't count David Lee Roth.
OMG, my hub and I have been at each other's throats today. He wants a freaking sectional sofa with a recliner in the end.
WTF? How old are we? 90? Seriously.
I can't stand it. He's calling me a furniture snob and if Ethan Allen made it I wouldn't care.
And he's so rude. I was googling sectional sofas. And he kept saying "type in L-shaped couch" which I thought was retarded. And I looked over and can you believe he found 'lshapedcouches.com" or some shit like that.
There is some good news. We are moving our tv into the kitchen, so I can watch tv and COOK at the same time...and we can eat and watch tv, just like the nice white trash suburbanites we were raised to be. And then, we are getting a flat screen for the living room. Whoo Hoo.
Of course, he want's one the size of a billboard, and I'm saying NO, we aren't getting it where it looks like the freaking Survivor people are in my living room WITH me at Survival Council. Hey, maybe they could vote GREG off the couch!
ha
How's your weekend. Mine has been slightly uneventful, except I lost my sunglasses. I think I left them at my friend's store.
I can feel my butt clenching already. It will be cringe-worthy for sure. I hope the Ford Commercial doesn't upstage her, that's all I'm saying.
Prove me wrong Pauler.
BTW, Your boobies look nice above and your arms are so toned for a 50 year old. (not her real age but I know "Forever Your Girl" was ages ago, right?) You go grandma-in-training.
If you want to hear the song early, (there might be one of you out there), go to Ryan Seacrest's website for KIIS fm and you can click away.
PS: I admit I did it and it's a cross between Madonna's "MUSIC" and Britney. That's all I'm sayin'. Techno pop. Highly voice engineered.
OMG, the cake fight was ridiculous. And then the bad news that Trailer Hicks is coming on tonite. I looked at Greg and said...get the remote ready.
So they do the divide and shocker! Adam is in the bottom 3. Do I smell a Daughtry exit for Adam? No way...It's Giraud...all the way.
Someone give Natalie Cole a freakin' sandwich. OMG, did you see those stick legs? And now it's Trailer. Ok, I made it through 30 seconds. His interview was pretty good, actually. Better than that giggler Archuleta.
Why is Kris Allen dressed like he is about to go out to wash his car? Seriously.
NUH UH. Ok, Adam in the bottom 2? OMG, this is getting weird. I didn't think this season was going to actually give me a shock. Seriously, I really have been somewhat bored in a way. If my contract was up this year, like Simon, I might be thinking of a new show to blog about. haha.
Jamie Foxx...Let's do the crotch grab countdown. I have 2 so far. What's with the Kanye techno voice crap? He don't dance so smooth y'all. Usher he ain't. This song sux. Ok, I admit it isn't my genre of music, but this is a lip sync extraordinaire performance. He seems to forget to keep the mike in front of his grill. Goonie goo goo Jamie.
You gotta give it to the Idol machine...they are really quite good at drawing the talent to the stage. Jamie pimps out his movie...the Soloist. You know, my buddy, got to see a preview of the movie and she LOVED it. She glowed over it.
Hubby was quick to point out Pauler's boobies.
I'm telling y'all if Adam goes tonite, I'm done with this show. I'm serious.
Ok, he's safe, you're safe, you still got me.
Matt's out...and I get 13 points in the pool.
You know what killed him? His damn hat. I hated it. He was cool. You know, I might actually go see the Top 10 of idols this year too...and just show up late when the oil field worker sings. haha.
I'm not listening to the last sing..hey, listen...rent the movie THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, and you will see the best performance of "Funny Valentine" sung by Michelle Pfeiffer, who has never recorded an album ever..and was discovered as a grocery store checker in LA. No kidding. She's married to David ? who invented Ally McBeal. Why, and where did I get off on a tiny biography of Michelle Pfeiffer? I am so weird sometimes.
So, we say good bye to the Eliott Yamin of this season. The one who has our heart, but not our votes. haha!
Ok, I keep getting these Twitter updates that these people are following me. I'm like, who the hell are these people. Actually it kind of made me nervous. How does this dude in San Antonio know me. And then this chick, lets call her Polly Tiny, started following me, so I got curious and went to her profile and read her blog. And um, she if funnier than ME. I know, not possible, but she is. OMG.
So a couple days have gone by. And well, you may not know this but I don't EVER look at my blog, I just click on 'new post'. So, tonite, I decided to look at the blog and laugh some more at the Jamie Foxx pic. (priceless huh?) And guess what I saw on MY blog. This little 'follow me on Twitter' icon. OMG, that's how people are following me.
OMG, where did that come from on my blog. This technology is all starting to take on a life of its own. And I forget that, although I think only 20 or so people read this blog, there are still strangers that stumble on board now and again. So, HI THERE strangers. Twitter me! Send me a tweet.
I have never tweeted yet. Except to Kelly Clarkson. I still love her so much it's sad. In July, I think I am going to go up to the Konocti Harbor @ Clear Lake and try to sneak into the concert all by myself. I will con someone and say I left my ticket at home and burst into tears or something. Hell, that place is open air, I'll just get my lawn chair and sit in the parking lot like a total hobo and just knit and listen. OMG, would that be a laugh riot. People would just look at me so funny.
My new cell phone ring tone is going to be DON'T LET ME STOP YOU...by Kelly Clarkson, duh.
It's such a good song. Go buy it. NOW on Itunes or Rhapsody or where ever. Don't steal it.
You come a long way baby! From his clown face to Oscar winner.
I actually wish Jamie had gotten to perform. Who is performing tomorrow night?
So, I like the Rat Pack. I loved all the songs, even if they reminded me of Bride & Groom first dances. I was talking to the Exec Producer of The Sims 3 tonite, and he's such a cool guy. He saw my Idol posters in my cube and asked if I was an Idol fan. (duh) I sort of shyly said, "Um, yeah, well I write a blog about it, so I'd say I'm a fan." And then he saw the blog, and suddenly, he's spilling forth with all these cool and poignant observations about Idol and Adam Lambert. It was so fun to find he is totally into Idol. I mean this is the dude that is in charge of bringing the Sims 3 game to finish in about a month! Wowza. He's so nice, like incredibly nice guy.
So you are all going to buy Sims 3 right? Because I sweat blood over that packaging for 18 months. Just read a review about it and lie to me that you bought it, I'll be happy. Who are we kidding, I won't even play it. I'm not smart enough to be honest. Plus this blog takes most of my time that I'm not knitting.
Ok, look where's the damn Idol review Cole? Oh yeah....
So, just the fact that my conversation with S3 guy distracted me ought to tell you that I am tiring of this competition now. I mean, I really don't care who wins like I did in years past. Seriously. I feel so gipped. We wait so long for this show to come on, and we want to find our person to root for...and I have to say the only one with a personality that I would care about their record or a concert is still Adam...but Kris Allen is creeping up on me. Danny Gokey is no longer of interest, but Kris is a far second place behind AL.
Ryan Seacrest needs highlights in his hair and Simon Cowell needs sunscreen. Paula needs to stop shopping in the bridesmaids departments for her 'gown of the week', and learn that costume jewelry is not the bomb she thinks it is.
Kara, please sit back in your seat. you have tiny boobies so stop wearing strapless dresses that emphasize your lack of something to hold the dress up.
Randy, I'm so disappointed in you this year dawg, you have let me down. Can you not be funny anymore? What?
I'm tired now. I have a big meeting tomorrow. I hope I don't get fired. lol
Ok, so right off the bat they off someone! Wow, can you believe it? Like tearing off a bandaid!
David Archuleta comes back to the stage tonite. I can't wait. Me loves me some Archie.
And Pauler Abduler gets her 15 seconds of choreography fame to relive. The chick still has the moves. You have to give her props for those hip thrusts and groovy moves. And that Adam Lambert has some dance moves that are consistent with his vocals. HOT HOT HOT, even if he is gay, and that's ok.
Who are these old drag queens of disco legends? Why must they bring these poor ladies out of retirement and squeeze them into those shiny hideous gold dresses? KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND, I used to love his him so much. I'm dating myself here, but seriously, I had some fun times in college singing to his groove tones. But sadly, KC did not 'just say no' to the donuts over the years. Krispy Kreme regular, I'm thinking.
Holy Moly, Alison is in the bottom 2! No way.
Simon busts Seacrests balls ... catfight! Catfight! Simon is a bitch.
OMG, I love Archuleta. I love this song off the cd. Hey, who wants to go with me to see him with Demi Levato? Disney night! Come on...wouldn't it be fun? If I was in high school, his Tiger Beat poster would be up on my wall 4-sure.
Hey everyone, do you hear that sound? It's the sound of the Slumdog train pulling into the station. Anoop's ride is over! Aaahhh! I really really am sad about Anoopsky leaving. I was sort of liking him. I would rather have seen goony Matt out of here.
And Alison is the last girl standing.
Everyone, feel sorry for me because my husband is going to make me watch DRAG RACE HIGH tonite. Boo. I hate Hot Rod TV. Jeffro, do you make your wife watch baseball? I wanna watch Gossip Girl, The Hills and Real Housewives of NYC. They are all on my TIVO just taunting me to watch them. How can I divert him to the back bedroom tv.
Alrighty, well, Seacreat out...(not the closet however).
ColeyB
Sorry, I lost all of my funniness today at the Factory.
Thank you for your eloquent last post...I've pasted it here for those too lazy to dig for it.
NJ Fan - Yes. Gokey would be the next Taylor Hicks (starring in a local version of Grease, BTW) if he were to win. Cole - LOL about "Anoop is riding the Slumdog train...." You're spot on about that. I can't watch him or his awkward stage presence. He does sound good, but I don't like to look at him. The "fraternity brothers dared him" feels like the case every single week. I can't stand Alison the 16 year old and don't understand the hype at all. I really do not. Not being harsh, but she looks like she is at least 40. I don't want to watch 16 year olds sing like that. My top 3 picks at the beginning were Adam, Kris, and the blonde girl that got voted off after singing Dolly Parton. I feel good right now that it will be Adam and Kris in the final 2 with Adam winning. They are the only ones I would even consider paying $ to see. And probably not Kris. Only Adam. Adam has really done a good job in toning down the freak show and letting his talent be the thing that shines, not just theatrics. Is he gay? Not that it matters (well at least to me, maybe not Miss Almost USA California) but I really can't quite tell if he is gay. He did say that he loved the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Did I just type that? Holy stereotypes...shame on me! I have more gay boyfriends than I can count on 2 hands though, so I feel I am allowed! :) Lil...oh Lil. No matter how funny you think you are, or how right you think you are, you never and I mean NEVER sass the judges or act like you know more than them. I think that is a one way ticket to the bottom 3, and ultimately the bottom 1. Timberfake shouldn't have been saved last week. I think they just wanted to flaunt the new feature of the show at least once. So, Lil reminded me of Evelyn Walker, and Adam reminds me of Brandon Barber. Right?! Lu, Cole - back me up! ---------------- Amy,
Allow me to answer your question with a photo I stole off PzHilton...Is Adam Gay? Yes, he dresses in Drag...and yes he is openly gay, but no, he doesn't try to wave the rainbow flag in everyone's face, and wants to win or lose based on talent, not sexuality. This is where Perez pisses me off. He keeps posting "We need our first Gay Idol". Why? And you got one, his name is Clay Aiken. You even named him Gayken. Sure, he didn't win, but I wouldn't be typing his name if he wasn't in the finals with loser Rueben. Clay outsold him, and a couple of other idols to follow, up until Carrie and Daughtry stormed the stage.
Let this be a lesson to anyone posting anything on the internet. Of course, this blog alone has sealed my fate, as I would not be able to get elected "Dog Catcher" in my town...even if I was running unopposed.
Next Up, we welcome comments on the picture below. LOL
People, can you just watch that show and not say, "Omg...he is totally fantastic." Ok, he just killed a BeeGees song. Do you realize he say Bee Gees? And Tears For Fear? and other crazy bands? And he killed every one of them (except Johnny Cash, and that was just sacraligious. Or however you spell/say it.
Alison's hair is starting to remind me of Peg Bundy.
Anoop is riding the Slumdog Millionaire train as long as he can. He's get's cuter by the minute, doesn't he. Do me a favor, if he survives tomorrow night, listen to his performances with your eyes shut. The voice does not match the face. He's so sexy voiced, but such a little boy face, atleast to me. Which is curious because they have him growing out a beard. To get rid of BabyFace, perhaps? Well, it didn't work for Spencer Pratt, and I fear Anoop is going to look scruffy too.
Kris Allen is talented. And for that matter, they all are. We did see the last of Lil' Rounds people. I'm sorry but that was the last of Lil and her House of Wigs. And Matt Girard will be gone as well.
Danny Gokey. He suffers Carrie Underwood syndrome. Good voice, bad stage presence. No star power. Fortunately, Carrie was white lava hot, nice boobies, awesome body, and perfect for Country. Danny on the other hand, in a police line up, might be someone cuter than the average purse snatcher, but I'm betting Jeffro's dimples are better. :) Danny dances like Eddie Murphy used to in a Saturday Night Live skit called the "white man's overbite dance". Look it up. Funny as hell.
Again, I ask you...you've got $60.00 in your pocket. Who are you buying tickets to see? Adam Lambert. I think Alison is good, but I'm really not interested in Bonnie Raitt's grandaughter. I'm not into Miley Cyrus either. I do love David ARchuleta, so it isn't an age discrimination. You know I am partial to trainwrecks like Britney too.
Ok, it's late, I'm rattling, and I've had WAY to much blowing my mind today, with work, personal shit, knitting and the oppressive Africa hot heat that Northern California is experiencing. I feel like my face is melting, and it's only 90 outside. But, when you aren't used to it, it's freaking AFRICA hot. And my husband keeps getting in bed before I can change the flannel sheets to the Egyptian cotton ones. Oh, how I long for the cool sheets of summer.
The a/c has been cranking since I got home at 8:00 tonite. I went to KFC for grilled chicken, because you know I have to TRY everything once. What a ripoff. It still has the greasy fatty skin. I thought it would be healthy. Nope. Don't be fooled, I could still wring enough grease out of it to fry an egg, if necessary.
It's still 74 in this house. Hey, why am I still typing. Go to bed Cole.
Ok, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz................. :)
Jeffro, I'm sad about the SF Giants. :( Please send me a personal email and lift my spirits. Tell me Randy Johnson, who I met and sat with in the dugout one time, is going to be our savior. And by the way, standing next to RJ, I come up to his waist. No kidding. He is literally 14 inches taller than me. I looked like a primordial dwarf. But he was very sweet and thanked me for making his picture look good on the cover of the baseball video game. Such a quiet and nice man. Unlike that cheeser Luis Gonzales who was staring at everyone's boobs, including mine. And Barry Bonds was being a tool. Ok, why am I telling this story? Why? I'm not name dropping as it was a stupid stupid work thing, not fun, and embarrassing because I got hit by a runaway ball from batting practice. Of course.
Ok, Citizens of Blogtown, your Mayor has pulled off no easy feat this morning...
Let's start from the beginning...I finally pulled my a&& out of the giant pillow that is my bed @ 9:30 am. This is a miracle, as I am never sleeping past 8:00 am. So, obviously, my tiny pea of a brain needed some major regenerating. Thanks to all that sent me notes wishing me to 'feel better soon'. I'd like to think you truly care about my well-being, but some of the notes were thinly veiled "get back to blogging notes" because some of you are too lazy or too ill-equipped to Goggle for other entertainment. Hey, I'm happy to provide your daily fix of wasting work time on the internet.
Anyhoo, lets start again. I got up, watched tv, came to internet, found Perez Hilton saying he had posted new Kelly Clarkson video. So I click the link, immediately, and it takes me to some Chinese website...where I can't read a freaking word. But the push play arrow is universally icon happy, so I got to see it. (above) So this is why it's all weird Chinese characters.
Remember me posting those picture of her and the cast from the video shoot? From her private blog? Wasn't that fun to see them all in action?
People, I'm sorry. But I caught a case of the epizooties. Translation, my nose is running and my head hurts.
I watched Idol but I didn't have the energy to write about it.
I'm sorry that they saved Matt, because it's going to be embarrassing when he is in the bottom 2 next week...and then that 'save button' will be like 'whatever' button.
I promise to be fun and witty over the weekend. So much to write about.
Hey, do me a favor and go on Twitter and follow Ashton Kutcher. My EA family is trying to help him get 1,000,000 followers. And the 1 millionth person gets to be in an EA video game. ha!
Hugs from hubby and kitty cats...and all is right with the world again. I really missed my little 2 cat and 1 husband family unit!!! For reals.
So enough mush from me, let's get to Idolicious. Tonite, it's Idolosity! Movie songs. Can't wait.
Alison leads us off with Aerosmith. Awesome. That was great! Good job. Simon gives her the girlie girl vote. I really think this girl is so damn good, I don't even care that she is 16, forget that. She's just good, period. Would I go see her in concert? No. Would I buy a ticket to see any of these contestants...well, honestly, nope. Maybe Adam Lambert. Because he's crazy. And entertaining. If the ticket was $30.00 or less. If he won, I'd probably go see Idols On Tour. But seriously, I'd pay to see ARchuleta or Cook before her.
Anoop...pretty good job, if you ask me. I think he has a terrific voice. Again, buy a cd or ticket? nope.
Adam...OH MY GOD...he's just crazy mad. I LOVE HIM. Seriously, I really do. Paula wants to sleep with him, I can tell. She thinks she can flip him. Or dress up like a boy. Whatever it takes.
Matt Girard: I like him, and I think he sings great. But kind of weird. Just one thing about him is weird...can't figure it out though. He believes his own press. In other words, sort of full of himself, and then not so much.
Kris Allen, I really like his performance, but he reminds me of this guy at work. I can't get past it.
I don't really care about Lil. She's beautiful. But whatever.
Ok, so I'm kind of not into this tonite. I like Matt. Oh, I forgot Gokey. So, Gokey has decided to get all the blind guy votes that Scott left behind, by losing his glasses. ha ha ha. I'm tired of Gokey. I also hate the only 2 judges per person thing. Drop the stupid stuff. They waste so much dumb time in the beginning like commenting on clothes of the judges. This isn't Project Runway.
Bye now. I'm sick by the way, so feel sorry for me. I'm blowing my nose alot and have a cough. Spring Sinus Infection. Please send chocolate, except I can't even taste it. Oh snap, I probably missed all the 50% off Easter candy at Safeway. Crap.
I got no Easter candy this year. I hate that. I want some jelly beans. Chewy gems of sugarness.
I left Dallas Ft Worth this morning, landed in Indianapolis under cloudy skies and a light rain. I have checked in to my secret location hotel. Hopefully, my secret service detail has managed to thwart any stalkery by Jeffro.
Actually, my business associate who reads the blog, was thinking he should come and see us! Seriously, she did not know that Jeffro and I weren't really friends and that I have never met him. Isn't that funny, because I feel like I have. He's kind of like the make-believe friend you had when you were in Kindergarten, that made you feel safe when you were scared. I'm not scared, but I do like knowing that Jeffro is out there somewhere, along with Susan, NJ Fan, Tink, Paul, Chris, Lu, Amy, Malooo, and the rest of you. I mean if something happened to me, you guys would surely be the first to figure it out if I didn't post a blog for like 2 weeks, right?
So, I am staying in what I would describe as a fat ass hotel tonite. What qualifies it as fat ass? Well, I will be able to watch tv from the bath tub, shower or throne. There is a 15" flat screen tv, right over the vanity sink. That swivels. OMG...so nice. SO nice.
I'm at my sister's shop today in Dallas. She's on tv alot with that commercial now. It's funny that people recognize her.
My dad has come into town this weekend and I am wearing him out. We have had so much fun. I told him he is really getting old, he moves so slow. And I won't let him drive me in his freaking Army Assault Vehicle...A Ford Excursion. Man. Hugeness.
Anyway, he showed me, he got out of the car at the bookstore and started wandering off in the opposite direction towards a tire store. I yelled, "Dad, Dad"...and he stopped turned aroiund, and looked a discombobulated. Then he bust up laughing and said, "I'll show you old." ha ha ha
So, tomorrow is Easter. Hope everyone has fun on your egg hunt. I'm dying eggs tonite.
OMG, my stupid sister's tivo f'd up and did not record the show. So, strike 2, I did not get to watch Idol this week. I feel like an appendage was torn off. WHY? Why me? I had to pop a Xanax to get over it. I actually sat there and watched iCarly on Nickelodeon with my nephews before bedtime. iCarly took over Idol. OMG. Mirando Cosgrove, you evil demon!
I am so sad I missed the vote off of Scott. Dammit. And I got zero points. DialIdol.com failed me.
Hey, I Twittered Kelly Clarkson. I did not send her a Tweet, but I 'follow' her, which means when she sends out a Tweet, I get it and see what it says. And she posted some pics on her blog...which I just finished reading. She doesn't update much, but it is definitely written by her, and it's awesome. This pics are from her video shoot for her 2nd single..."I do Not Hook Up".
I still loves me some Kelly.
I'm gonna see if Carrie Twitters. famous people all Twitter. I'm following Will Ferrell and Kelly Clarkson.
Warning, do NOT follow Perez Hilton because he has Twitter diarreha. He tweets too much. Blah blah blah
Not to be outdone by the excellent reporting from our New Jersey Coast Reporter NJ Fan, a Dallas Field Agent has come through with some excellent scoopage of her own...let me post it verbatim (that means word-for-word, Jeffro) from Agent Susan: -------------- Here is a personal message from Anoop's family and friends. Please send this to everyone you think will help!
Hello,
Hope you are well. We are going through an unprecedented experience in our life, feeling pride and joy ..and anxiety at Anoop's journey through the American Idol experience. Anoop is holding up well and says that he is enjoying every moment. I think he is growing up fast having been suddenly thrust into the "real world".
So, Anoop is now in the top 8 on American Idol. Last week was a close shave. We really appreciate your effort in voting to bring him this far. We are wondering if we can impose on you a little longer and ask you to please continue to vote as many times as possible and also to remind all your friends and family and colleagues that the competition is not yet over. This is a long competition and it is natural for the excitement to subside somewhat but this is a critical phase of the competition.
Some people felt that Anoop lost his cool last week and allowed his frustration to get the better of him. As his sincere (if unsuccessful in the eyes of the judges) effort was portrayed as a frivolous bet from "frat-boys" while the camera panned to his friends (who have graduated from college and are responsible and talented young men), I must admit that I bristled. This experience is teaching Anoop the difficult lessons of public life. We are happy to note that he did get good reviews on his vocals from the judges and some independent analysts. Below is a link to one of the more interesting analysis. http://masterclasslady.com/2009/03/31/american-idol-season-8-top-9-vocal-masterclass-article-top-digital-downloads/#more-3509
So what should we do next? We think its time to re-energize Anoop's support. We hope that we can count on your help once more to remind your friends, family, colleagues and community to vote for Anoop remembering what caused you ( and them) to be excited for him in the first place. For his part I am certain that Anoop will strive to live up to the very highest expectations. Again, thank you for sharing our joy, excitement and pride for Anoop. We appreciate that you have spent countless hours of your precious time and used your influence to support and encourage him. Anoop is in the Top 8 as a result of that support.
The competition resumes on FOX on Tuesday 4/7/08 at 8:00PM with results show on Wednesday.
Whatever happens next, this has been a great ride and we are so very thankful for your friendship and effort. We are very proud of Anoop for having the courage to attempt this competition and doing something so very outside of his or our experience. ( I must say he is handling it much better than I am! ) We have made so many new friends, reconnected with old friends as well as Anoop’s teachers, and have become much closer to our extended family here in the US as well as in India and South Africa.
Please feel free to tweak this or send your own message when you forward. Thank You.
With Warm Regards, Team Anoop
--------------
Now, that Anoop Family is mighty mighty proud of their little Anoopski. My goodness, have you ever read such a nice letter from anyone? That mom could probably get him elected President.
More scoop regarding Danny Gokey. It seems, backstage and among the competitors, Danny is not a favorite. In fact, unliked would be accurate. Sadness. He's all about himself. So, well, that's just a bit of gossip, but I will be watching to see hints of 'dissing him'. Like when someone gets voted off, is he the last one hugged? When he performs, are the other contestants checking their nails and looking bored? In tonite's Ford video, does he 'accidentally' get his hand slammed in the door? Keep your eyes peeled.
And also, Anoop had a friend that went to Hollywood and got to attend the Megan "goodbye dinner" after the show. Well, let me let you read it verbatim:
Chris was invited to the "send off" party for Megan with the tattoos, and he said it was so much fun. He met everyone on the show and said Adam, even though flaming gay, was such a nice guy. He said Danny is an a__hole who everyone on the show hates because he is so all about himself. Megan, who I told him to connect with, he said is a little weird and cooky. I can see that. But anyway, he had so much fun. He says Anoop already has a record deal and that Usher twittered him that night and said that even though Simon didn't like the song, he loved it and thought it was great.
What??? A record deal already. And a Twitter from Usher? I gotta get me a Twitter account. I mean, seriously. F-that facebook and MySpace crap. Tweet Me! I like it more.
Off to Twitter now.
And then to watch Idol! From Dallas, so I will be blogging in Central Time Zone! Whoo Hoo!
Carrie Underwood wins Entertainer of the Year at the ACM awards in Las Vegas last night. NJ Fan, our resident Blog-opedia Brainiac has posted the following for all of us:
Carrie Underwood captured entertainer of the year Sunday night at the Academy of Country Music Awards, winning the top honor that has eluded women for nearly a decade, while Taylor Swift won album of the year and Julianne Hough snagged top new artist.Country music's boys' club was adjourned for the year when Underwood broke Kenny Chesney's four-year win streak and became the first woman to hold the title since the Dixie Chicks in 2000. The significance wasn't lost on the 26-year-old superstar."I accepted that award on behalf of myself and my fans, but also on behalf of other women who came before me that kicked butt but never got the recognition they deserved," Underwood said. "I can't wait (for) the day, which I hope is in the very near future, where having females in the category is no big deal whatsoever."In 39 years of recognizing a top entertainer, the academy has granted the honor to a woman seven times, including Underwood. The others were Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks. Each won once.Chesney, who missed the chance to tie Alabama for most entertainer of the year awards, kissed Underwood as she walked up to accept the honor."He told me he was proud of me," said Underwood, who's enjoyed astounding success since winning "American Idol" in 2005 with eight No. 1 country hits including the signature single, "Jesus Take the Wheel."I don't think any AI winner will ever top Carrie Underwood!

Love the YouTube video, where you see Kenny Chesney go and hug her mom after her award speech. Kenny Chesney hugs her on the way to stage. Old Man George Strait ain't likin' it. Boo puss face George.
We love you Carrie, and I agree with NJ Fan...no Idol will be as famous as Carrie has become, even if it is country. She's as mainstream as they come.

On a disturbing note, they gave that little mileywannabe Taylor Swift some made up crystal award for bringing so many young fans to country music...translate...saving our asses in the industry so us old folks can figure out what's hip and cool by letting YOU write all your music, Taylor.
It's ColeyB here and I have no idea how you found my blog, but I'm glad you did and I hope you have fun reading my little random thoughts about tv, family, my spaz of a life and anything else that amuses me at the moment. Feel free to leave comments and tell me what you're thinking about.
