‘American Idol’ is Horrible this Season – And it’s all the Judges’ Fault

The top twelve contestants this season are painful to watch, and since the judges picked the top 32 to choose from, I place my blame exclusively on them.  It’s not as if America voted the wrong person off.  They’re all wrong!  Thank goodness Simon Cowell is jumping ship just in time to keep his brand intact.  Also, Kara DioGuardi makes me want to throw something at my television.  Did she actually tell a contestant that he hasn’t reached a level yet where he can high-five people?  Please Kara, tell me at what point, using all of your expertise, that it would be appropriate to high-five.  In fact, I am giving you one big virtual high-five right now.  High-five yourself out of the judging panel, and bring Paula back!  I’m posting a pic of 1950’s teen idol Bobby Rydell because I could not think of anything to post related to ‘American Idol’ that wouldn’t irritate me.  

Ke$ha Apologizes to Britney Spears and Justin Bieber

First she attacked Britney Spears, and then she insults Justin Bieber.  She recently said that Justin Bieber was a “tiny little baby” that she wanted to “push around in a carriage.”  I would believe that it was just a stupid, non-malicious statement had she not previously insulted Britney Spears . . . twice.  Hence, I’m still convinced she’s an asshole.  Well, she got an appropriate backlash from Britney and Bieber fans – which, when combined, pretty much means all of America.  So she “apologized.”  See her Britney apology below.

Steve Lillywhite Continues his Pathetic Plea to Replace Simon Cowell on ‘American Idol’

Does anyone ever get a job this way?  And by “this way,” I mean posting pathetic videos over the internet that encompass old school groveling.  Steve Lillywhite, the music producer behind the first three releases from ‘Dave Matthews Band’ (back when Dave Matthews was actually listenable), wants to be the next ‘American Idol’ judge.  Sure he might know his stuff, but these online videos might actually work against him, as he is absolutely painful to watch.  When asked about Steve Lillywhite as a possible replacement, Simon Cowell gave a far less wordy critique than mine, by basically calling him ugly.  Watch the cringe-worthy video below.  

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Has its Largest Audience Ever

It looks like ABC made some changes for the better.  Last night’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ drew the largest premiere audience since the show began.  Something tells me Samantha Harris won’t be coming back anytime soon.  I think Brooke Burke as the new host probably helped with the numbers.  Also, who can beat watching Pamela Anderson dance around like a crazy person?   Watch below.

Director Michael Bay Joins James Cameron in the Fight Against 3D Conversions

It’s no secret that ‘Avatar’ has created a frenzy over 3D.  Studios see a chance to make more money, because tickets prices are higher for 3D films.  Michael Bay has joined James Cameron in criticizing the last minute process of converting films into 3D after they were already shot in 2D.  According to Bay, it sacrifices the integrity of the movie, and he’s apprehensive about potentially ruining the next ‘Transformers’ film by doing so.  First of all, I am not sure anything can make the next ‘Transformers’ film any worse than I predict it will be, after the spectacle that was ‘Transformers 2.’  Second, I hate 3D in general.  It hurts my eyes and gives me a throbbing headache.  How about we nix all this debate and just trash the entire 3D experience altogether?  It’s not that important to me to see things popping out of the screen.  One more thing – Cameron is still a hypocrite, considering he is converting ‘Titanic’ into 3D.  I am posting a picture of Megan Fox from ‘Transformers,’ instead of Michael Bay, because she is easier on the eyes.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’ Now Casting: No Breast Implants Allowed

Are things changing in Hollywood?  It appears that the casting for Pirates 4 has begun, and although they want beautiful models, no breast implants are allowed.  Hmm….doesn’t Penelope Cruz have implants?  I’m confused.  The main cast can have them but the supporting cast can’t?  Maybe Penelope lucked out and has a tiny little body with big and beautiful natural breasts.  If so – I hate her.  

India Arie Needs to Lighten Up

Here we go again – artists insulting other artists in the industry. Singer India Arie has taken issue with Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ video, calling it “socially irresponsible.” Here’s her tweet: I’m not referring to the abstract nature of the video … I’m talking about the IMAGERY – the unspoken back story, the language the message.” She caused a bit of a twitter frenzy after Gaga fans attacked her, for which she reminded everyone that she is entitled to her opinion. I agree that she is entitled to her opinion, I just have no idea what her opinion is. Does she think that Gaga is irresponsibly telling women to poison their boyfriends? It’s unclear.

Sandra Bullock the Entrepreneur? – Who Knew?

Amidst all of this craziness, we are learning much more about Sandra Bullock.  She apparently has a great love for the city of Austin, and she recently opened a place there, called Walton’s Fancy and Staple.  The place serves as a deli, florist, and catering operation.  She also owns Bess Bistro in Austin.  She completely renovated Walton’s from what was formerly a stagecoach depot, partly because she has a passion for restoring old buildings.  Of renovating the building, Bullock once said “in the end, I might not make a dime. … But look at what we’ve done to this building. That’s an investment and payoff all on its own.”  She also said that the acting is to fund the work she does in Austin.  I love her!

Kelsey Grammar’s Wife Will Appear on ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’

The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ cast has been announced, and the choices are heavily based on Hollywood connections.  Kelsey Grammar’s wife, Camille Donatacci Grammer, will appear on the show, and questions are circulating about whether Kelsey will appear.  Though I don’t have any inside knowledge on this one, I would bet my bank account on the fact that he won’t.  My guess is that her appearance on the show was contingent upon her not mentioning Kelsey.  Why?  Because it would hurt his status to do so.  She probably is doing this because she has wanted a Hollywood career for a while now.  Though Whitney Houston didn’t care much about her status when she appeared on ‘Being Bobbi Brown,’ so perhaps I am wrong.  Also set to appear are Paris Hilton’s aunts, Kim and Kyle Richards.  More of the Hiltons?!  Does it ever end? 

CBS Turned Down Tiger Woods Intervew

I knew this was suspicious.  I just learned that the ESPN interview with Tiger Woods was originally offered to CBS, but they turned it down because they didn’t want to meet all of the interview restrictions, particularly the 5 minute time limit.  I am also guessing there were tight restraints on the types of questions that would be asked.  CBS made the right choice I think.  There is no point in doing a bad, watered-down interview.  As an aside, I just saw this interview, and it is pretty ridiculous.  He’s not even sitting in a chair!  Does it even count as an interview if there isn’t a chair?  Plus, it seems awfully rehearsed.  I am sure he was given a list of every single question beforehand.  Watch below.
