Is it just me or…
… are spammers getting downright PERSONAL and INSULTING? I clean out my spam filter in gmail every morning, because it annoys me to see “Spam: 2039812094102938129” in bold whenever I check my email. Which is about every 3.8 minutes. What? I’m not an obsessive email checker! Really!
ANYWAY. It annoys me, and I’ve noticed a new trend. Among the normal talks of my manhood’s size (…) and what I need to do to please my women, and trying to sell me any number of things – now I get a few of these every day:
Thats… well, that’s just NOT NICE people! Harumph. Now I sit here feeling like I need some affirmations of the “I’m good enough, I’m strong enough, and GOSH DARN IT, People LIKE ME” type.
Or you know, chocolate.
Celebrity Circus.. how Z list!
How D-list do you have to be to participate in Celebrity Circus?! Apparently you have to be a Jackass, a Brady, a Super Model, an Olympic Swimmer, Clueless, a Singer, or the always sexy Antonio Sabato Jr. Throw all of them together with Joey Fatone, and you get Celebrity Circus!
…this will either be brilliant, or bomb HORRIBLY.
Either way, starting June 11, you can watch it on NBC on Wednesday nights this summer, and see the stars preform death defying and breathtaking stunts until one emerges the victor, as judged by us, the American public.
America's Got Talent!
It’s baaaaaaack! And the Hoff, Piers and Simon promise it will be bigger then ever this year. Simon says that one of the people is probably the most talented person he’s seen on ANY show – well then! Here’s hoping it all lives up to the hype.
This year the shows will be on NBC, Tuesday nights, premiering on June 17th. We’ll have the good, the bad and the ugly of the auditions, all hoping to get through to the semi-finals where the American public will vote for their favorites.
My question is – can anyone compete with this group from the British version? I give you – Hoop La La!
If THEY can win Simon Cowell over – anyone can!
Don't tell my heart, my achey breaky heart…
…I just don’t think it’d understand…
Ahem. Sorry, flashback there. All those of my generation (…how did I get old enough to be able to say that?!) remember Billy Ray Cyrus for his achey breaky heart. Now days, he’s mostly known as Mylie Cyrus/Hanna Montana’s dad, where he’s traded in his mullet for a soul patch. Us reality geeks remember his desperate cry to get his mullet back on Dancing with the Stars, as well – but now he adds Show Host to his resume. That’s right, starting Monday, Nashville Star moves from CMT to NBC as they spend the summer searching for their newest Country star.
The two hour premiere will do what no other show like it has done – take us straight from auditions to the final 12 in one fell swoop – no 3 weeks of painfully bad singers to get through to the cream of the crop. Then, with 90 minute shows every Monday, we’ll drop one at a time until a new Nashville Star is crowned. Jewel, who hosted the show on CMT (….mkay. Hey – did you know she grew up in Alaska? Just a couple hours south of me, in fact. She didn’t used to like to claim us, and upset a lot of folks by canceling all her concerts a few years back, so it’s nice to see Alaska included in her bio now.) returns as a Judge this time around, along with two other J names – Jeffrey Steele (songwriter) and John Rich (Half of the Duo, Big and Rich).
I’d be lying if I said my country loving heart isn’t going pitter patter – this is right up there with Can You Duet in the ranks of “OH! Let’s WATCH!” TBF (the Best Friend) has tried for years to beat the country out of me with many good indie/punk/hard rock tunes – I love them all, but Country… I still *heart* it too… Yes, I know I’m a geek. I’m ok with that.
The question is – are YOU gonna watch?
