News and Notes


Oh, where to start. I guess we'll start with Rod Blogojevich, former Illinois governor and upcoming Celebrity Apprentice contestant. It came out that he said he was "blacker" than Barack Obama. What the hell does that mean? Then he made matters worse by following that with "I shined shoes." Oh hellz no! What next: he tap danced? He ate watermelon? And if he really wanted to impress me, he should have said he was blacker than Yaphet Kotto or Ibe from Good Times (above)... This just in: Mark McGwire admitted he was on steroids. Finally, I can get some closure and move on with my life... It's time to shake up WWE Raw's stale formula, as evidenced by tonight's lackluster reaction to guest host Mike Tyson. If I may steal a phrase from Buddy Landel, the fan reaction was so quiet that you could have heard a mouse pissing on cotton. It's the same formula every week; guest host humiliates Jericho, Santino or Chavo, then DX wins and everyone celebrates with the leprechaun. Yay. No compelling feuds or rivalries. No wonder TNA's nostalgia night seemed so fresh last week... Now that Simon Cowell has announced that he is going to leave American Idol at the end of this season, people are wondering if the show will continue. Just plug in that sassy-ass English broad from Battle of the Bods and the show will keep rolling... And perhaps the biggest news of the day: Lady Gaga will be on Oprah on Friday! Can't wait.
