Lee Dewyze is my ‘American Idol’ favorite . . . again

Well, I finally get the chance to say I called it.  Okay . . . not yet, but I predict I will be able to say that soon, as I still think he’ll win the show.  I picked Lee Dewyze as my favorite, at a time when the judges were heavily criticizing him.  Tonight he was fantastic again, and Simon said “I’ve always believed in you.”  Yeah right Simon!  He’s just trying to save himself from the embarrassment of not calling this guy as the front runner earlier on.  Anyways, watch his performance below.

Nigel Lythgoe Confirms that Twitch Will Return to ‘So You You Think You Can Dance’

This is great news.  Stephen Boss, also known as “Twitch,” was one of my favorite dancers on SYTYCD, so I am very happy about his return!  To update everyone, this season’s SYTYCD has a different format.  Instead of pairing the contestants with other contestants for dancing partners, they will be bringing back former contestants or “all stars.”  This way, only one person will be eliminated each week without offsetting the partnering balance.  Some of the other changes include: Mary Murphy as a choreographer instead of a full time judge, and Mia Michaels return as a judge and a choreographer.  Mia Michaels was nominated for an Emmy for choreographing Twitch’s performance to ‘Mercy’ by Duffy.  Watch that performance below.

The Best News of the Day: Roger Ebert Launches New Movie Review Show

Roger Ebert and his wife Chaz are producing a new movie review show, currently titled, ‘Roger Ebert presents At the Movies.’  The details are not yet revealed, though I hear rumors that he might make appearances here and there.  I love the idea that Roger Ebert, the movie guru, realizes that people still want to see this type of format, despite the recent cancellation of ‘At the Movies.’  We will also see a return of the thumbs, which makes me very happy.

Jason Castro’s Album Drops April 13th

I’m embarrassed to use the word “drop,” but I’m told that is the correct lingo.  Anyways, I wasn’t a huge fan of Jason Castro’s on ‘American Idol,’ but I am now.  His full album comes after the release of his ‘Love Uncompromised EP.’  I love the song ‘You Can Always Come Home’ off his EP, so I am extremely excited for the album.  Listen below.

Kristin Cavallari says she Expected ‘The Hills’ to End

In an interview with Mtv, Kristin Cavallari seems unfazed by ‘The Hills’ ending.  I would imagine she is actually pretty disappointed.  She was brought on to resurrect the show after Lauren Conrad left, and I think Mtv hoped that they could get a couple more successful seasons out of it.  I also don’t think Cavallari helped matters much when she initially called the show fake, comparing their improvisation to ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’  Watch her interview below.

CNN is Losing the Ratings Race to Pretty Much Everyone

CNN’s ratings are tanking.  They are now being beaten by Sean Hannity on Fox, just about everyone on Fox News, Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, and Joy Behar on HLN.  I think the first problem for CNN is comparing it to the above mentioned shows, considering that most of them don’t even count as news programs.  If you are going to compare CNN to Fox News, why not also compare it to ‘Keeping up With the Kardashians?’  After all, they are both cheesy reality shows aren’t they?

Trailer for Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz’s film ‘Knight and Day’

This looks pretty funny.  As I’ve said before, despite all the media crud, I still love Tom Cruise.  Watch below.

Mtv Renews ‘The Real World’ for Three More Seasons

I cannot decide if this is good or bad news.  This show has been unwatchable for a very long time.  I am still holding out hope that it will return to its roots and pick a compelling cast, but I think that’s a long shot.  I guess there are enough drunken idiots in the world to keep this show going for 20 more years.  

 

‘The Hills’ – New Trailer Released

This show is starting to disturb me.  It appears from the trailer that the rumors about Spencer entering anger management might actually be true.  Wow, watch below.

Hollywood Remake Alert: Godzilla

Are there no original ideas anymore?  Yeah, it’s cheap and easy to do these remakes, so why not?  Godzilla is being remade for a 2012 release, and it will apparently stay true to the original story.  Overall, Godzilla has appeared in 28 films produced by Japan’s Toho Studios.  An American remake was produced by TriStar Pictures in 1998, starring Matthew Broderick and Jean Reno.  It made a decent worldwide gross in 1998, but was considered a critical flop.  So I guess it’s time to try again!  Legendary Pictures is set to produce it this time around.
