I’m nervous for Melinda Doolittle. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I thought she sounded great on this week’s Bee Gees themed show. Her renditions of “Love You Inside and Out” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” were great. In fact, Only Jordin’s “To Love Somebody” came close to Mindy’s level, as both Blake […]

Dancing with the Stars finally evicted the rhythmically challenged Billy Ray Cyrus and his extremely patient partner, Karina. No one seemed more relieved by the news than the actor/country singer himself. This leaves four couples who can actually dance. What’s the fun in that?

I’m not sure about this Dancing with the Stars business. You have four couples that can dance, and Billy Ray Cyrus. His partner Karina is doing the best she can, but at the end of the day, Billy can do his “Achy Breaky” dance, and that’s about it. Bless him, he even tried to incorporate […]

Dear Gina,
Fame. It is a fickle friend, indeed. One minute you’re belting out “The Boys Are Back in Town” on national television while Simon leers at your cleavage, the next you’re being dragged out of a Florida bar after throwing a glass at another patron. Seems far fetched, […]

When you enjoy television as much as I do, getting sucked into a show and its characters is a great thing. You want to care about and root for your favorite folks on the small screen. I mean you see them every week, if you didn’t feel at least a little something, then the show’s […]

So, we are close to the end of the 14th installment of the Survivor series, and the alliance of six (Earl, Stacy, Cassandra, Yau-Man, Boo and Dreamz) seemed determined to stick together. This left only Alex, who once seemed very much in control of the game, quite vulnerable.
First, at the reward challenge, in […]

Let’s get one thing straight: I love me some reality shows. Starting back in the day with The Real World, I have been addicted to the genre. It’s fun to watch the human drama that plays out on these shows. Whether it’s watching 16 strangers eating rats and coconuts on an island or seeing the […]

Well, another results show of American Idol has come and gone, and with it two more crooners have politely been asked to vacate the premises. This week’s casualties were Phil Stacey (deserved) and Chris Richardson (not). Though I am disappointed to see Chris leave, I confess that I am also pretty excited when I look […]

John Ratzenberger and his partner Edyta were booted off Dancing with the Stars this week, keeping the wonderfully bad Billy Ray Cyrus. Well, John, now you know how Chris Sligh over at Idol feels.

Didn’t the infamous Sanjaya say something about talking about “something other than hair?” Well, from Jordin’s over-done ‘do (i think i saw Haley Scarnato hiding in there) to Blake’s sinister black locks, hair certainly had a large role in this week’s Bon-Jovi themed episode.
As for the singing, overall there were some pretty […]

This week’s Dancing with the Stars had very few surprises. After a waltz and a latin number, the top pairs (Joey/Kym and Laila/Maksim) stayed on top, with both duos receiving multiple 10’s. The lowest score of the evening went to Billy Ray Cyrus and his partner Karina, after two very stiff and slightly embarrassing […]

American Idol is not making it easy for me to be a viewer. First Sanjaya suspiciously got voted off, and the fun ended. Now on this week’s special charity night, “Idol Gives Back,” Celine Dion is going to sing with the ghost of Elvis! Idol teased viewers by saying that “two of […]

When you kill someone, your life gets complicated. Such is the case with singer Brandy who made it official that she won’t be back for another season of America’s Got Talent. Her spokeswoman Courtney Barnes said,
Brandy has enjoyed her association with the program. However, she felt she couldn’t give the new season […]

Sanjaya is back in real-life away from American Idol, but now he has to adapt to being ridiculously famous. How’s he doing that? He’s in the process of hiring a bodyguard. I don’t blame the kid. He seems really whimpy - in a puppy-dog sort of way - and I’d worry […]

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but as most everyone knows, Sanjaya was eliminated last night. But was it just? Howard Stern, who was one of the leaders of the cause doesn’t think so. This morning he opened his radio show with a few thoughts.
I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but […]
