The only thing surprising about this year’s AI finale was how excruciatingly boring it was. Hey, I am all for giving each of this year’s 12 finalists a chance to shine during the 2 hour long show, but did a whole segment have to be dedicated to the phenomenon that is Sanjaya? As annoying as […]

Well, at least something worked out the way I wanted it to. I was starting to have some pretty bad luck when it came to picking the winners of these contest-based shows. I mean first Yau was booted off the island too soon on Survivor, and then, most heartbreaking of all, my girl Melinda was ejected from the Idol […]

After months of competition, we have finally reached the end of the American Idol season. There is just one more thing left to do - crown the winner. With Melinda out of the running, the viewers have what I had originally thought would be a difficult choice: Blake the showman or Jordin the songstress. However, […]

So, we have arrived at the finals of DWTS, and that means one thing - someone is going home with a cheap-looking mirror-ball trophy on Tuesday. But, who? Laila and Maks have always bored me. Sure, technically they are fine, but there is never any pizazz in their dancing and zero chemistry between […]

First Paris Hilton got a much lighter sentence than she deserved, and now the Navy is allowing Phil Stacey to go on the American Idols Live tour for two and a half months. He will join Haley Scarnato, Sanjaya Malakar, Melinda Doolittle, Lakisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Gina Glocksen, Chris Richardson, Chris Sligh and Jordin […]

For reasons I couldn’t quite put my finger on, I was out of sorts all day. Something wasn’t right. Paris still going to jail? Check. Lindsay’s mom still an attention seeking coattail rider? Check. K-Fed still worthless? Check. So why the ominous feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong? I just shook it […]

Ian Ziering is the latest casualty on Dancing with the Stars. Ian and partner Cheryl just missed going to the finals. This leaves Laila, Joey, and Apolo to vie for the coveted mirror ball trophy next week.

Tonight’s installment of Idol featured four stellar performances (all of Melinda’s and Blake’s version of “This Love”), four that were very good (all of Jordin’s and Mr. Lewis’ “When I Get You Alone”), and one that was just better than average (Blake’s “Roxanne”). So with no major missteps to speak of, who gets to […]

Sorry to say this….but I told you so. When Billy Ray Cyrus was kicked off of Dancing with the Stars last week, I had a bad feeling that the next 2 weeks would be boring, and tonight’s episode, at least, sure was. Oh everyone left did a good job. There were “10’s” being awarded all […]

Another season of the grandaddy of all contest-based reality shows came to an end Sunday evening. This season started out slow but gave us a few really interesting players to watch, some truly frightening challenges, and the very 1st unanimous vote for a winner ever.
The 2-hour finale started with our final five […]

Former American Idol contestant, LaKisha Jones, has a memory to last a lifetime, a kiss from Simon Cowell. After her exit from the show, she gushed to People Magazine,
He is a good kisser and I would do it again.”
“His lips were really soft and thin. “
She also says that after her dismissal, he told […]

With just six contestants left over on Bula-Bula, the hidden immunity idols are more coveted than a shower or picnic or even letters from home. In the beginning of this week’s episode, it was Boo who was clearly marked as the first in the former alliance to head on off the island. However, the reward […]

Former boy band member and actor Lance Bass lost a bet with Los Angeles radio station Star 98.7 FM DJs, Valentine and Lisa Foxx. Of all things to bet on, he bet that his former ‘N Sync colleague and actor Joey Fatone would score a perfect score on reality show Dancing with the Stars. […]

I’ve only ever watched part of an episode of Tori & Dean: Inn Love. Tori was moaning because she was pregnant and couldn’t participate in a wine tasting. It seemed like something I could watch again. I know, Tori is another spoiled, rich kid, but she’s somewhat likable, maybe because she seems […]

Well, things went the way they should have on Idol tonight. However, I do want to say that LaKisha will be missed. As I have mentioned before, the talent this year dwarfs past seasons, so when someone leaves, it’s sad because you know that they are talented. Any other year that contestant could easily have […]
