How I Met Your Mother: “The Bracket” Recap

April 1, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike We’re a little late this week, so let’s get on with the recap. Ted and Marshall have stolen a large chalkboard from Lily’s classroom to aid them in their quest to win their NCAA Tournament pool. Why? Because “big board equals big luck.” Unfortunately, in their case, the big luck is bad luck, because — despite their plan to turn March Madness into “March Meticulously-thought-out-ness” — they’re out of the money almost instantly.

Maria Del Mar Shines In “Terminal City”

March 30, 2008 StayTuned Staff

There’s a stock question that interviewers frequently ask actors: What role have you always wanted to play? When I asked this of Maria del Mar, she thought for a few moments, then replied, “Katie Sampson is pretty damn close to it.” Because Del Mar (24, The Pentagon Papers) stars as Sampson in the 10-part Canadian series Terminal City, premiering March 6 on Sundance Channel, a cynic might think she is merely doing her part to promote the series. But any woman who sees del Mar’s stunning portrayal of an outspoken woman diagnosed with breast cancer, who becomes the star of […]

Bobby Knight, Bill Parcells And Tony La Russa On ESPN "Sunday Conversation," Followed By Apocalypse

March 28, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB If this photo doesn’t frighten the bejesus out of you, then you may just have enough huevos to tune in to ESPN’s SportsCenter on Sunday at 10:30am and 11pm ET for the “Sunday Conversation” featuring three weird, crotchety old coaches who all happen to be buddies — Bobby Knight, Bill Parcells and Tony La Russa. The three will discuss a variety of topics including their friendships, coaching philosophies and how players have changed over the years — and occasionally yell obscenities at host Rece Davis, who we’re pretty sure cries at some point during the session. […]

They’re Proud To Be American Idols

March 26, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll Do I even need to tell you that the results show is chock full of filler? There’s a songwriting competition. Then it’s the cheesy group number! Starting off with ‘Get Right Back To Where We Started From.’ Do you get it? They were all singing songs from the year they were born, so that’s where they started from. Get it? It’s way cheesy. Michael Johns and David Cook do the ‘I’m-a-dude-this-is-so-not-gay’ chest thump. It’s because the girls are doing all the lead singing, leading the guys to do silly things. I hear this song and I think of […]

ANTM Visits The House Of Pain

March 26, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll Aimee is in awe of all the compliments she’s gotten. Claire is missing her husband and daughter. Apparently she still pumps her breast milk for her daughter. I assume she then ships that? Not quite sure how that works. Then we have our first fight — Dominique sets her alarm way early and since the girls sleep in one room, it’s torquing a lot of people off, especially Claire. The editors make it seem like this fight goes on all day. Lauren calls Dominique verbal diarrhea. So of course Dominique goes in the phone room and talks to […]

Jericho Nuke Notes: Patriots And Tyrants

March 26, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Ryan Jericho, Season 2, Episode 7, “Patriots and Tyrants”: Jake and Hawkins have one final opportunity to prove to the independent Texas government that they hold the evidence to one of the biggest conspiracies in history … but first they’ll have to get past the Cheyenne government. What we kind of suspected was officially announced this week by CBS: The March 25th episode of Jericho will be the series finale. Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive […]

You’ll See These American Idols On Tour. Don’t Blame Me.

March 25, 2008 Ruth Boulet

Is it just me, or has Ryan’s ‘This… is American Idol‘ gotten even cheesier? I didn’t think it was possible, but I think he’s achieved some kind of Easter miracle with tonight’s delivery. The pause was longer, there was a head-bob going on. All kinds of queso. The Idols are belched out from the center of the stage, instead of coming down the stairs. Tonight’s theme is: “You’re Old, America!” I mean, songs from the year the contestants were born. Up first — Ramiele. She was born in 1987. Hang on, I need some oxygen. Ok, better now. She blah, […]

How I Met Your Mother: “Ten Sessions” Recap

March 25, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike Hey, did you hear? Britney Spears is on this week’s episode of How I Met Your Mother. And, yeah, she’s OK in her limited role — but the real star of the episode is this week’s other guest, Sarah Chalke of Scrubs. Chalke plays Dr. Stella Zinman, a character we first heard about (but didn’t see) in the pre-strike finale “The Platinum Rule.” If you recall, Dr. Stella is the woman who is removing Ted’s butterfly tramp stamp over the course of 10 painful sessions. Ted is instantly smitten with her, and only becomes more so after […]

NCAA Tournament Blog: Second Round

March 22, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB Saturday’s Games Some more good action on Saturday’s second-round games. Despite coach Trent Johnson getting ejected for two technical fouls, #3 Stanford rallied to beat #6 Marquette in OT. My alma mater, #3 Wisconsin, advances to the Sweet 16 after a convincing beatdown on #11 Kansas State. #1 Kansas made easy work of #8 UNLV, and #3 Xavier took out #6 Purdue. Thanks to a commanding second half, #7 West Virginia knocked out #2 Duke, and there is much rejoicing. My only regret about Duke losing is that it didn’t happen two days ago. (Yeah, it’s […]

Happiness Means Keeping Busy For Brooke Hogan

March 22, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Brooke Hogan barely notices the cameras anymore. And she trusts that the people editing the moments of her life meant for public consumption have her best interests at heart. You couldn’t blame her for being a little camera shy these days, what with her family enduring the pain of a divorce and the specter of legal charges pending against her younger brother Nick for his role in an automobile accident that left his passenger critically injured. But that just isn’t the way the Hogan Knows Best star operates. “I always tell everybody, if I sit still for two seconds, I […]
