Revealing American Idol’s Top 12 And 4 Get The Boot

by WindUpDoll First up is a performance by Blake Lewis. Now, during last season, I really liked a lot of things Blake did. He made songs a bit more interesting. However, he starts off this performance with some of his not finest beat-boxing. See, when you do that to a Bon Jovi song you’re unique. With your own ‘composition’ it’s just pedestrian. Cut the original crap & just redo a Morrissey album already. And suits shouldn’t be that shiny. We cut to a lot of filler. A lot of filler. I fast-forward through a lot of filler.

ANTM One Long Commercial For Cover Girl And Apple Bottom Jeans

by WindUpDoll Dominique loves to compete. The doorbell rings, and there are purses! Marvita is hella-juiced ’cause we just got some free stuff. Apple-bottom jeans. Personally, I thought apple-bottom was a bad thing, but these girls are all over it. The girls have a whole discussion about who has an apple bottom. Apparently Waunakee girl had an eating disorder and the Somali girl made a crack about her weight. Tyra Mail! They’re still doing the whole read the teleprompter thing. It’s so distracting that I don’t know what they just said. All I know is that they’re climbing into their […]

Project Runway Comes To An End

by WindUpDoll Christian wants to win so much it makes him sick. Rami’s just glad he’s in the final three — and he should be, because he kicked Rami’s butt. Apparently Rami thinks that Christian is surprised by his collection. I hope Rami doesn’t win. He’s now completely annoying me. Tim is concerned about a piece that Jillian created after Tim first saw her collection. She’s got to figure out how to make it fit in her collection. Rami’s got one piece that’s using strips of antique lace. It’s very pretty. Tim expresses concern about Christian’s collection. He’s losing his […]

10 Items Or Less: The Ren Fair

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes vignette on the Season 2 finale of 10 Items or Less. A pox on that! Hither with the episode recap, anon! Huzzah! It’s ye olde Renaissance Days at the G&G, and prices (and personal hygiene) are being rolled back to the time before the printing press. (Didn’t Steve Guttenberg invent the printing press?) Renaissance Days is Leslie’s best promotion ever. It’s much better than the “Cheese or Not Cheese” idea he and Carl had. The G&G crew is dressed up in their best Ren Faire attire. They look like rented costumes from a high-school production of […]

I Need A Wind Machine As American Idol Girls Go Back To The 80s

by WindUpDoll Now it’s the girls’ turn to take on the ’80s. First up is Asia’h, and her most embarrassing moment involved roller skating. Way to tie into the ’80s theme. She’s singing ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody.’ She’s rocking the trendy high-waisted pants. Paula is dancing. Will anyone take on a Paula song? We’ll have to wait and see. Asia’h is just ok. Randy of course drops that he recorded that song. He thinks Asia’h was hot. Ok, and I have to ask what the apostrophe is for in her name. I’ll likely never get an answer to that […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 10

Posted by: haro1d The comedy just keeps on comin’. Last night’s OTH episode did not disappoint. To recap: Nanny Carrie continued her home-wrecker crusade, jumpin’ in the shower with Nathan just in time for the scene to be discovered by Haley. Peyton’s old boss showed up to steal Mia away, but with some clever theatrics, they managed to trick him into offering her promotion and distribution, publishing rights and maybe the moon, if I heard correctly. Quentin has a hairline fracture from punching out K-Fed and is likely to be benched for the season … if he lets the coaches […]

RAW Emotion: Mr. Kennedy

RAW‘s resident bigmouth is a former pickup-driving, beer-drinking country boy from the outskirts of Green Bay, Wis., who saw a big opportunity in a little microphone hanging from an arena ceiling and made sure, from that day on, that every pro-wrestling fan knows his name. Shrugging off a host of untimely injuries and public backlash for speaking out about the company’s recent doping scandal and the shocking downfall of the late Chris Benoit, Misterrrrrrr Kennedy (Kennedy!) remains loud, proud — and oh so popular with the fans — on his way to his second ‘Mania. Yeah, He Really Is Loud. […]

Jericho Nuke Notes: Oversight

Posted by Ryan Jericho, Season 2, Episode 4 “Oversight”: Hawkins receives another call from his mysterious new contact, John Smith, who continues to know his every move, and who informs Hawkins that he is one day away from being caught by Major Beck. Mimi discovers someone inside of Jennings & Rall is embezzling money. J&R is forcing all businesses to register with them, to “protect” them against illegal activity. Cheyenne has put a price freeze on retail goods, but J&R is charging businesses exorbitant prices — gouging, essentially — for supplies. This J&R monopoly has resulted in a black market […]

I Love The 80s on American Idol

Oh NEXT week is the new set. Next week. Thanks for the clarification, Ryan. I was wondering what was ‘new’ about this set. It’s ’80s night on American Idol. Not that anyone cares, that is. We’re all about the David Hernandez stripper story. Sweet. It’s on CNN, so it must be true. I’ve also heard that skunk-girl had a DUI or something. Finally, I’m getting my Idol-dirt. Luke had to dress like a girl once when he was a little kid. It was so embarrassing that it drives him into a Wham! song. Luke wanted to sing Wham! ‘Wake Me […]

Gunslinger Hangs It Up: Brett Favre Farewell Festival

Posted by Cubicle QB So, Brett Favre is retiring. Here in Wisconsin, there is surprise, sadness and perhaps a little relief that we finally have the answer to the “Is Brett Favre retiring?” thing we’ve been dealing with around this time for the past five or so years. I’m just a little disappointed that Favre retired before he could fulfill my 1993 prophecy that he would become “the next Don Majkowski.” Anyway, NFL Network is throwing Favre a 30-hour retirement party this week with Favre and Packers programs today through Saturday. Brett Favre Tribute on NFL Network All times Eastern. […]
