Lemonheads

2012-02-10T00:04:00.000-06:00

Sorry to hear about the passing of Nello Ferrara, who died on Feb. 3rd. Who is Nello Ferrara, you ask? He was the guy who invented the most delicious snack treat on Earth, the candy known as Lemonheads. All the networks and CNN should be devoting around the clock coverage to this guy and doing history pieces. R.I.P.

Key and Peele

2012-02-07T23:11:00.000-06:00

Check out the new comedy sketch show Key and Peele on Comedy Central, Tuesdays at 10:30 EST/9:30 CST. I've seen two episodes and they were both pretty good, including this sketch, which might be the funniest thing I've seen all year.

The Super Bowl

2012-02-06T22:49:00.000-06:00

I enjoyed the Super Bowl this year; exciting ending, Madonna killed it at halftime, and the commercials were okay. Best of all, we don't have to put up with this Patriots dynasty/"Belicheck is a genius" talk all off-season. But we do have to put up with the "Is Eli in The Elite QBs?" discussions. The lesser of two annoying evils won, I suppose.

Undertaker's Hair

2012-02-01T00:19:00.000-06:00

At first I thought it was just me, but several sites are reporting that The Undertaker was indeed wearing a wig on Monday's edition of the WWE Raw Supershow. Apparently he cut most of his hair off during his hiatus, but it hasn't grown back yet. Maybe he will rock the crew cut like in his American Bad Ass phase. They better hurry up and figure out something before the big match in April. Last year The Rock saved WrestleMania, this year it might be the Hair Club For Men.

Royal Rumble

2012-01-31T08:58:00.001-06:00

WWE graced Hollywood Nation's hometown with this year's Royal Rumble... and gave us Sheamus as the winner of the big match. Damn them. Anyway, here are some highlights of the evening:

Daniel Bryan and The Big Show battle on top of the cage

Kane and America's favorite sap, John Cena, get ready to mix it up

Brodus Clay and the ladies

Dolph Ziggler and Vicki right before he was buried by C.M. Punk

This guy won?

New Release Tuesday

2011-12-06T23:04:00.003-06:00

Huge release day in the Hollywood Nation offices today as two of our favorites, The Roots and Amy Winehouse, have new albums/CDs/downloads/8-tracks out today. I haven't gotten to listen to The Roots' Undun yet, but you know it's gonna be on point. I did get to hear Amy's posthumous release and it is fantastic. Standouts include a remake of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You", "Our Day Will Come", and "Half Time". Check them out!

Morning Joe Promo

2011-11-29T08:25:00.000-06:00

Check out this hilarious promo for my favorite morning show, MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Here We Go...

2011-11-27T17:36:00.000-06:00

On last week's Raw and Smackdown, WWE showed a link to a mysterious video on You Tube with the title "It Begins". It appears that someone is coming back on January 2nd, 2012. Could it be Undertaker? Batista? If you rearrange the letters of "It Begins", you can spell out "I Be Sting". Intriguing, like last year's videos that led to the Undertaker coming back. Let the guessing games begin.

Thoughts From Last Night's American Music Awards

2011-11-21T07:03:00.000-06:00

- Christina. Oh, Christina. You've got to stop selecting clothes from the "Genie In A Bottle" side of the closet. Those days are long gone. Face the facts that you've put on a little weight (hey, I like it!) and put on something a little less form fitting. For all of our sakes. It looked like you were coming onstage at the AVN Awards to accept the award for best three-way.

- Christina was the highlight of the show for me. She never fails to cause excitement at these shows. I was waiting for her to bust out of that dress like dough popping out of a can of biscuits. You just know Britney is sitting somewhere on her throne made of gold, with a tiara on her head, telling her minions "Look at this fat bitch!". She then took a bite from a Snicker bar and kept rewinding it.

- J-Lo and her ridiculous Fiat product placement was a close second. I guess she's grabbing all of the money while she can. Maybe her ex left her broke. His performance was painful to watch. He had more veins in his head than the Incredible Hulk.

- Also, when J-Lo is winning awards for music, doesn't that pretty much kill the credibility of the entire show?

- Justin Beiber looked like his outfit was made of aluminum siding. This paternity suit has clouded his judgement.

- It's like Katy Perry is testing our patience at this point. Her square pink hair is an indication that she is now surrounded by yes-men who will let her do anything she wants.

- I wanted to hate the LMFAO peformance at the end, but it was really fun. Especially with Beiber and The Hoff joining in.

Raw Gets Rocked

2011-11-15T08:05:00.000-06:00

Even though the show was 95% crap, including two truly atrocious lengthy skits, somehow an appearance by The Rock on WWE Raw made everything okay. His Rock Bottom on Mick Foley and his exchange with John Cena at the end were magic. Whether this translates to buys on Sunday at the Survivor Series is a different story, but for now, it was just good to have some fun back on the show.

Heavy D.

2011-11-08T23:39:00.000-06:00

Sorry to hear about the untimely passing of rapper/actor Heavy D, one of the most popular rappers of the late 80's/early 90's. I was a big fan of his work, especially songs like "We Got Our Own Thing", "Black Coffee", "Jam" with Michael Jackson and "Alright" with Janet Jackson. R.I.P.

Joe Frazier

2011-11-08T08:27:00.001-06:00

Sorry to hear about the passing of boxer Joe Frazier. In addition to all of his well documented boxing accolades, he was the special referee for the Dusty Rhodes vs. Ric Flair main event at Starrcade 84. A true legend.

Spice Girls Update

2011-10-31T07:38:00.000-05:00

As you may know, the Hollywood Nation was huge fans of the Spice Girls in the 90's so we like to update you on their whereabouts from time to time. Ginger Spice has started her own lingerie line. And she decided to model the product firsthand to give you, the consumer, a chance to see how it looks. A wise marketing decision. For more information, you can click here.

World Champs!

2011-10-29T14:14:00.002-05:00

Congratulations to Hollywood Nation's hometown team, the St. Louis Cardinals, for

becoming the unlikely world heavyweight champions of baseball last night. Thank goodness I got on the bandwagon just in time (with about a week left in the regular season). Never before has a team reaped more benefits from a squirrel running across home plate. Congrats, team!

Survivor Series

2011-10-24T22:31:00.000-05:00

Well the opponents have finally been named for the mega-team of The Rock and John Cena at Survivor Series: it will be the upper mid-card team of R-Truth and The Miz. Even with recent WWE programming being full of bad announcing, major storyline inconsistencies, pro-bullying, and their bizarre obsession with Twitter, I'm still excited about The Rock returning (although next week's Muppet appearance should promptly kill that enthusiasm).

New Champ

2011-10-21T06:38:00.003-05:00

Congratulations to James Storm, who was crowned the Impact Wrestling World Champion on last night's show. I've been pushing for this for years and they finally did it. Granted, they did it in the most ass-backwards way with no build, but they did do it. Baby steps.

New Ring of Honor Wrestling TV Show

2011-09-24T18:39:00.001-05:00

Don't forget the new ROH Wrestling show debuts this weekend in syndication (as they say, check your local listings). More information is available at rohwrestling.com. What fun it will be to see good matches, logical booking, and Michael Cole not announcing.

HBO 24/7

2011-09-06T07:50:00.000-05:00

HBO has done it again with another outstanding installment of its 24/7 series. This time they are promoting the upcoming fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Victor Ortiz on September 17th. It's the classic story of the humble, hard working challenger going against the brash, confident champion. Steamboat vs. Flair all over again. As usual, HBO put together a compelling behind the scenes presentation of the lead-up events to the fight. The only problem is that the fight we really want to see is Floyd vs. his father. The argument that they had at the end of episode one was nothing short of incredible. I literally watched the thing about five times. I haven't seen a reality show fight like that since the Rock of Love reunion show.

Notes on Last Night's MTV Video Music Awards

2011-08-29T09:30:00.000-05:00

A review of last night's MTV Video Music Awards:

- I heard the show was going to start with one of my favorites, Lady Gaga, so I was excited about that… until she actually hit the stage. She was dressed like a guy. She looked like the guy from Karate Kid. She give this speech where she went on and on and pretended to be Lady Gaga's boyfriend. This thing went on ten minutes too long-- and the segment was only five minutes. She then played “You and I”, which is just not the same without the boots and without her ass hanging out. She was joined by the guitarist from Queen. I’m sure he was sorry to be dragged into this mess. I hated this segment with a passion.

- And we’re off!

- There was no official host for the show, but comedian Kevin Hart introduced the show and did skits throughout. His monologue was hit and miss. He did a joke about the cast of Jersey Shore spreading STDs and they actually seemed happy about it. Maybe they didn’t understand. Earlier this week, I read that Pauly D of the Jersey Shore said he wouldn’t consider going on Dancing with the Stars until his career was on the decline. Um, holmes, that would be right about now.

- Nicki Minaj and Jonah Hill presented the first award of the night, Best Pop Song, which went to Britney Spears for her song that sounds like it should be in a Six Flags commercial promoting a new ride. BTW, Britney’s back to being hot. It was a slow road back. It’s almost like the head shaving days never happened.

- A big test for me was seeing if I could recognize the names of any of the nominees for Best New Artist. I got one out of five. I’m so old.

- Kanye West and Jay-Z hit the stage for a surprise performance of their song “Otis”. This was hip hop its finest. I should have stopped watching the show right here and ended on a happy note.

- Was this Kanye’s first award appearance since the Taylor Swift fiasco? You know the one thing that was lost in that whole debacle? He was absolutely right! I have never seen a Taylor Swift video (and with any luck, I never will) but there’s NO WAY it could have been better than Beyonce’s epic “Single Ladies” video. Ain’t no way! Sure, he shouldn’t have stormed the stage, but that’s a different story.

- Nicki Minaj won the Best Hip Hop Award (dear Lord) and declared that Lil Wayne was the best rapper alive. Poor delusional girl…

- Adele performed. I know she’s supposed to be the big thing, but I’m just not down. Maybe someday.

- Kim Kardashian and Her Ass co-presented the Best Male award to Justin Beiber. He looked goofy as ever and got all religious on us.

- Chris Brown performed. How is this happening? I’m astounded every time I see the guy back on stage. I would have bet money that his career was over after the Rihanna incident. His performance was good and he got a standing ovation-- except from Jay-Z, who sat and sipped from a cup as if nothing was going on. Phenomenal.

- Lady Gaga, still dressed as a man, came out to present the career achievement award to Britney. They teased what would have been a very awkward kiss and thankfully they didn’t go through with it. Britney’s voice was deep as hell. She sounded like she should be doing AM drive-time radio. And it was weird, because although she looked really nice, she looked like a linebacker when standing next to Gaga.

- Beyonce gave a nice little performance and showed off her baby bump at the end. Somebody commented on the Entertainment Weekly live chat that “Kelly Rowland will be the aunt that no one likes”.

- There were a bunch of presenters throughout the night that I didn’t recognize. I just figured they were all from Twilight or Glee.

- The girls from Jersey Shore came out to present with Cloris Leachman. The girls were all orange and not very attractive. Cloris was using their lingo and said she was DTF. The crowd went wild. Since I am no longer hip, I had to go look this up…

- Dear God…

- They gave an award to Gaga, still continuing this “I’m Lady Gaga’s boyfriend” character, which was beyond annoying by now.

- Russell Brand gave a longwinded intro to the Amy Winehouse tribute, which included words from Tony Bennett, footage from earlier this year of a recording session between Tony and Amy (she looked wonderful), and Bruno Mars singing “Valerie”.

- The little broad from Dawson’s Creek came out to present the Video of the Year award to Katy Perry. At this point, I didn’t even want to know why she had a big yellow box on the top of her head.

- Lil Wayne got the closing slot. Man was this terrible. I have to give the guy credit for being so obviously dreadful, but convincing the general public that he’s this terrific rapper. It’s fascinating. I was greatly hoping that he would pull his pants up, but it was to no avail. He did the worst lip synching this side of Milli Vanilli in 1990. He ended the performance by saying his new album went on sale at midnight. Yeah, I’ll get right on that. This was wretched.

As was most of the show. They need to bring back Chris Rock and Madonna in her wedding dress next year.

Killer Mike: "Ric Flair"

2011-08-20T17:00:00.000-05:00

This is my new favorite song. There might be hope for rap music after all.

Catching Up

2011-08-18T00:30:00.000-05:00

After taking a little summer hiatus, Hollywood Nation is back! Did I miss anything? Here's my take on some of the things that went down during the break:

The Summer of Punk: What a summer it's been for C.M. Punk in WWE. He had perhaps the match of the year with John Cena at Money In The Bank. He won the WWE title-- twice. He managed to get Vince McMahon to pay the rights to a real entrance song. He got mainstream press on such outlets as Jimmy Kimmel and espn.com. And he ate Kevin Nash alive on the mic on Monday's Raw. Damn! All I did during my summer was sleep and not update my blog.

Amy Winehouse: I was so sad to hear about the passing of one of my favorite singers, Amy Winehouse. It's unfortunate that her substance issues overshadowed her great musical talent. Click here, here and here for some of my favorite Amy songs.

Stacey Kiebler: Former WWE Diva Stacey Keibler is making the rounds on the gossip sites and entertainment shows because she is dating George Clooney. Well, if you're gonna date a wrestler, that's probably the one you want to pick. Plus, he'd look kinda weird showing up at a movie premiere with Kane.

C.M. Punk on Monday Night Raw

2011-06-28T09:50:00.000-05:00

I loved C.M. Punk's promo at the end of WWE Raw last night where he ripped on everything from Stephanie McMahon to USA Network's shows. It's this kind of stuff that makes putting up with leprechauns and John Cena's corny interviews worth it.

Coming Soon

2011-06-24T01:45:00.000-05:00

Check out the trailer for the new movie Beats, Rhymes and Life, about one of the greatest rap groups of all-time, A Tribe Called Quest. It hits theatres in New York and LA on July 8th, then gradually hits other cities over the summer. I haven't wanted to see a movie this bad since Showgirls came out.

New Britney Video

2011-06-23T01:30:00.000-05:00

Britney is back (and in fine form) with the third video from her her Femme Fatale album, "I Wanna Go". There are references to The Terminator, Thriller, Kill Bill and a marquee showing the sequel to her movie Crossroads. It's a fun little clip. Check it out here.

The New Jill Scott

2011-06-23T00:30:00.000-05:00

It's out! You gotta pick up Jill Scott's new CD The Light of the Sun, featuring the hottest jam of the summer, "So In Love" (with Anthony Hamilton). It's the bomb. And she looks great in the video! Check it out here.

Team Christina Turns It Out

2011-06-09T01:20:00.000-05:00

I've really been enjoying The Voice on NBC. The show got even better last night with the live Quarterfinal Round. I thought most of the contestants did very well but the performance by Team Christina stole the show. You can check it out here. I'd advise watching it twice because the first time you see it, you're going to sit in amazement wondering how Xtina's boobs didn't pop out of that dress.

Happy Anniversary, Nexus!

2011-06-08T01:15:00.000-05:00

It's hard to believe that it was one year ago when one of WWE's greatest angles ever took place. The frustrated rookies of the NXT show (calling themselves Nexus) took over Monday Night Raw and kicked the natural ass of anybody who moved including top dog John Cena (above). Of course a few days later, Brian Danielson was fired for choking the ring announcer with a tie (we still don't really know why) and it was all downhill from there. All of the steam was taken out of the group and now it is just a collection of scrubs led by C.M. Punk. Ah, what might have been. At least we have the memories of that first night.

Beyonce's New Single

2011-06-03T08:20:00.000-05:00

Just when I thought Beyonce had derailed her career with "Run The World (Girls)" and "1+1", she came back strong with this new song, "Best Thing I Never Had", from her new album. Thank goodness Jay-Z doesn't have to carry this broad just yet.

The American Idol Season Finale

2011-05-26T01:15:00.000-05:00

It was perhaps the worst final two ever in American Idol history, but the season finale is always star-studded and loaded with surprises, so I decided to give it a try. Good show. The highlight of course was the booty shaking showdown between Sasha Fierce and J-Lo. Gotta give the night to Beyonce (although she almost killed it later in the evening with that wretched new song). Gaga was fantastic as always; I think she jumped to her death at the end of her song at the prospect of Scotty or Lauren winning this season. I also liked TLC, Judas Priest, Steven Tyler and the always great Gladys Knight. I was also glad to see Randy Jackson maintain his streak of wearing his worst outfit of the year at the season finale. In the end somebody had to win by default and predictably it was Scotty. If his limited range doesn't kill his career, that awful first single certainly will.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage

2011-05-25T01:45:00.000-05:00

I was stunned like everyone else to find out about the death of "Macho Man" Randy Savage last week. He was one of my all-time top 5 favorite wrestlers and he will truly be missed. I always thought his athleticism and intensity always brought a little a realism to the art. Here are some of my favorite Macho Man moments:

- The Introduction of Miss Elizabeth: Savage joined the WWF in 1985. He wrestled for a few weeks, winning squash matches, back when they had such things. They did an angle where all of the managers of the day like Mr. Fuji, Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart were trying to sign him. Finally one week he decided to announce who his manager would be. He praised all of the heel managers but then brought out the stunning Miss Elizabeth. This was so great because the announce team of Vince McMahon and Bruno Sammartino made such a big fuss over her ("what is she; a movie star or what?"). Jimmy Hart tried to hold the ropes for her to enter the ring, but Savage was having none of it, thus starting the dynamic of Savage being mean to Elizabeth, which drove the fans crazy.

- Randy Savage vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at WrestleMania III: Everyone came to see Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, but it was Savage vs. Steamboat that stole the show. It was perhaps the best WWF match of that era. I remember seeing this match at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in the dying days of closed circuit TV. I think even my Dad, who is not a wrestling fan at all, enjoyed it.

- Megapower Meltdown: Who could ever forget the night that the team of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage fell apart? They had built for this for months with Savage showing slight signs of being jealous that Hulk Hogan was friendly with Elizabeth. It came to a head on a Friday night on NBC when Savage slapped Hogan across the face to tag him into a match, then destroyed him in a backstage skit. I just remember how intense Savage was. I believed he was really mad. I always remember him saying to Hogan "you make me so sick, I can't even stand to look at you".

- Savage vs. Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VII: This match always gets overlooked for some reason when people talk about great matches of the 80's. Despite the Warrior being involved, this was a great, dramatic match. The ending with Savage and Elizabeth reuniting at the end was a great moment. People were even crying in the audience.

Gaga Day

2011-05-24T00:00:00.000-05:00

It was a big day for Little Monsters and big butt aficionados alike, as Lady Gaga's Born This Way CD was finally released today. It was available in two versions: the deluxe (above) and the standard, which features her head on a motorcycle; perhaps the most ill-advised album cover since Snoop Dogg's debut. The music is solid though so that's what counts. Happy Release Day!

Stewart vs. O'Reilly

2011-05-18T01:40:00.000-05:00

I loved Jon Stewart's appearance on last night's O'Reilly Factor where he debated Common's invite to the White House. He owned Bill O'Reilly. The dude came prepared. Check it out here.

Jessie Spano Makes Good

2011-03-23T10:15:00.000-05:00

When I saw that Elizabeth Berkley was going to be on the Today Show yesterday, I did a short prayer in the hopes that it would be an announcement about the filming of Showgirls 2. Alas, it was not to be. It turns out that Berkley (most famous for playing Jessie "I'm So Excited" Spano on Saved by the Bell-- and for being in the cult classic Showgirls) is now an author. It's an advice book for girls (Chapter One: Don't do movies where you're naked for the 3/4's of the film). I can't knock it because it's a good topic and it's good to see someone doing something to help others. That's good and all, but damn, give us that Showgirls sequel, woman!

DWTS Season Premiere

2011-03-23T09:30:00.000-05:00

Dancing with the Stars is back and thankfully it is Palin-free this season. I didn't think anyone was just absolutely terrible (although Wendy Williams and the radio guy that no one knows were coming awfully close). Standouts included the Karate Kid (I can't believe he's 49) and thick ass Kirstie Allie. I liked Kendra's practice session better because she was doing the stripper dances. Of course the centerpiece of the show was WWE Superstar Chris Jericho. Sure he got robbed by getting two sixes instead of his deserved sevens, but it's early and they are judging low. He didn't do too bad but there is room for improvement. I'm just hoping he doesn't get voted off first like on Celebrity Duets.

Weekend Wrap-Up

2011-03-21T10:00:00.000-05:00

UFC: Props to Jonny "Bones" Jones who captured the UFC light heavyweight title from Shogun Rua on Saturday. Even more remarkable, just hours before the fight he chased down a guy (who had broken into a woman's car and stolen her GPS) and held him until the police arrived. Damn, that brother whipped ass all day long.

Ring of Honor: The ROH World Title changed hands in New York on Saturday with Eddie Edwards taking the crown from Roderick Strong. And thank goodness, because God bless him, but Strong was putting me to sleep like I had just eaten a big Thanksgiving meal. Even though they are losing TV, I see ROH gaining a little momentum with the new champ, the Briscoe Brothers heel turn and Princess Mia (!).

Rihanna: Over the weekend Louis Farrakhan dissed Rihanna of all people by saying her performances were "filthy" and that anyone who enjoyed them were "swine". She shot back on Twitter with:

"A minister says I perform filthy, sat and watched the filth, then called U SWINE for doin the same! Haa is that judgment in ur tone?"

Burn. The worst part of this? I got called swine!

Happy St. Pat's Day

Nate Dogg, 1969-2011

2011-03-17T00:00:00.000-05:00

I was sorry to hear about the passing of Nate Dogg (Nathaniel Hale), one of rap's most unique and influencial artists. I loved his catchy singing on some of the greatest songs ever, including "Ain't No Fun" with Snoop Dogg, "21 Questions" with 50 Cent and of course "Regulate" with Warren G. RIP.

Raw Is Snooki

2011-03-15T02:50:00.000-05:00

I just got back from tonight's WWE Raw show at the Scottrade Center and it was a fun night. Highlights included:

- The Rock OWNED John Cena in that promo. He just OWNED him. I thought he was gonna put Cena on a platform and check his teeth, he owned him so bad. Just a great interview. People wearing their purple Cena shirts were just standing there in shame. As they should be.

- I have to give Snooki props; she looked... well... not entirely undesirable. And that's quite a victory when standing next to Trish Stratus. The angle was well done and Snooki even came through with a textbook Lou Thesz press. I take back all the bad stuff I said.

- Vickie Guerrero is so great. I loved when she was posing for pictures while pinning Trish.

- It was so good to see JR and the King back together. Too bad it was them laying down on the mat together instead of announcing. Please bring JR back. The crowd popped huge for him.

- They really got us by teasing The Rock was coming out to save Cena. It was certainly a Road Warrior pop. People were going crazy and high fiving, only to come back to down to earth when we realized it was The Miz instead of The Rock. They got us all. Good one.

- Overall, a very fun show. Special appearances (JR, Grandmaster Sexay, Trish, Snooki), a good angle (Miz/Cena) and an excellent match (Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan). Can't ask for more than that.

Kaitlyn Returns

2011-03-13T14:10:00.000-05:00

I was glad to see Season Three NXT winner Kaitlyn return to the ring on Friday's edition of WWE Smackdown. I was even happier to see her come out in those pants (above left). I think Booker T summed it up best during her entrance when he said "Awwww Shucky Ducky, quack quack". Indeed. Check it here.

UFC Buys Strikeforce

2011-03-12T18:00:00.000-06:00

In a surprise move, it is being reported today that UFC (the name brand in MMA) has bought its competitor, Strikeforce. I hope they don't blow it like when WWE bought WCW (almost exactly ten years ago) and totally ruined their invasion angle. They should start off with Brock Lesnar giving an interview on an Ultimate Fight Night then having Gina Carano sneak attack him with a superkick then escape through the crowd (with Mike Goldberg screaming "she doesn't even work here!"). The possibilities are endless.

American Idol Results

2011-03-12T00:30:00.000-06:00

It was the first week of voting on American Idol and in a complete shocker, somebody black was voted off. This is becoming more of a tradition on Idol than Coke cups and Ford product placement. I've become used to it by now though. I thought everyone had an average week, except that I thought Pia and Naima were standouts. The goofy guy in the red and black jacket was a complete joke. You know things are bad when the judges are pandering to the audience with statements like "I hope America got that". Like there was something complex to decode from his performance. I got it alright-- he sucked! Week one of the performance rounds and this show is already on my nerves.

Just great; another literary masterpiece on the way.....

Biggy

2011-03-09T15:00:00.000-06:00

It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since the death of Biggy Smalls. I'll have to dust off some of the old jams today, like one of my favorites:

Monday Night Raw

2011-03-08T09:45:00.000-06:00

Fun show last night. The return of Dolph and Vickie, an appearance by the Undertaker, a good promo by Miz, Sunny goes into the Hall of Fame (!), the return of STONE COLD (which was the highlight of the evening by far) and John Cena's wack rhyme (the worst rapping I've seen since David Silver of 90210). Should only get better with Snooki and perhaps The Rock joining the festivities in my hometown next week!

Guess Who's Coming To WWE...

2011-03-07T14:20:00.000-06:00

This just in: The nation's most famous skank is invading the sacred world of professional wrestling. And it is taking place in the hometown of Hollywood Nation no less. According to several online reports, Jersey Shore's Snooki will be the guest star of next week's WWE Monday Night Raw in St. Louis. I'm actually looking forward to this for the entertainment value. On the flip side of this, you just know one of the wrestlers is going to hit that and end up burning. In the interest of time, I am providing these convenient links for local free clinics and urgent health care facilities here in town so the WWE Superstars don't have to go fumbling through the phone book when it's all said and done. You're welcome.

Celebrity Apprentice

2011-03-07T07:50:00.000-06:00

NBC advertised that they would bring the crazy with this season of Celebrity Apprentice and I'll be damned if they didn't deliver. What they lack in star power, they sure made up in headcases. At the top of the pack is Gary Busey, who is like the Michael Jordan of crazy reality contestants. There isn't one scene where he doesn't deliver. You know when Lil' Jon almost looks sane, you have reality magic on your hands. I feel bad that David Cassidy got voted off first but at least he got to plug that his daughter works on Gossip Girl about 18 times. It's gonna be a great season. Good work, NBC!

Charlie Sheen

2011-03-04T09:10:00.000-06:00

I'd like to put in my two cents on this Charlie Sheen situation. While this recent media tour has been wildly entertaining, he needs to get it together. If not for his own sake, for Duckie's sake. Before Two and a Half Men, no one had seen Duckie since Sixteen Candles and I would imagine his prospects after this look bleak. Duckie has a lot riding on this show and he doesn't need Charlie Sheen blowing this golden opportunity because of his penchant for drugs and young skeezers. Plus, if I see one more reaction interview from Emilio Estevez with that "I haven't worked since Judgement Night" look on his face, I'm going to cry. Playa, come on in the house.

Non-Shocker

2011-03-01T01:45:00.000-06:00

And what was Impact's big shocker last Thursday? The big shock was that they didn't show any remorse for totally ripping off WWE's recent Undertaker "2/21/11" skits with their very own "3/3/11" segment promoting the return of Sting. Totally lame. I haven't seen such unabashed biting since Vanilla Ice stole "Under Pressure" to make "Ice Ice Baby"-- and then pretended that he didn't.

It's Britney, Bitch

2011-03-01T01:30:00.000-06:00

Britney Spears announced this morning that she will be peforming on Good Morning America March 29th to promote her new album. Looks like she's in good shape again, but have you heard her voice? It sounds like she's been chain smoking for forty nights straight. She's starting to sound like Hulk Hogan. Hear for yourself right here.

Dancing Is JERICHO!

2011-03-01T00:00:00.000-06:00

Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the next season of Dancing with the Stars.... CHRIS JERICHO! Cheryl Burke is clearing off room in her trophy case as we speak!

The Oscars

2011-02-28T18:50:00.000-06:00

God only knows why, but I decided to give the Oscars a chance last night. I regretted it a mere ten minutes later. I saw Kirk Douglas rambling, the lady who won Best Supporting Actress spacing out, and Justin Timberlake painfully reciting some awkward dialogue. Needless to say, I was knee deep in NBA action after fifteen minutes. I checked back periodically and the only highlights were appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry, and Marisa Tomei (who should win a retroactive Oscar for her stripper scenes in The Wrestler a couple of years ago). The "Gwenyth Paltrow can SING" gimmick has run its course. Why was Corey Haim skipped over in the deaths segment? They were showing legendary key grips for Pete's sake, but not one half of The Coreys? What is wrong with these people? I should have gotten an award for sitting through this thing.

The Rock Returns To Raw Tonight!

Here We Go Again

2011-02-23T09:40:00.000-06:00

A shocker-- what could this be? Coherent booking? A match longer than five minutes? A straight up match with no stipulations? I won't get my hopes up.

Survivor/American Idol

2011-02-17T09:50:00.000-06:00

Wow-- and we thought Naonka was crazy last season! Survivor debuted last night and dropped Phillip on us, perhaps the craziest contestant yet. The man just unravled during the tribal council. His pronounciation of "Francesqua" was one of the funniest moments in the series history. I was hoping he would get voted off though so we never have to see him walking around in draws again. This is shaping up to be one of the best seasons.

Over on American Idol, the group round was pretty good. I loved the flashback in the beginning of the obnoxius guy a few seasons ago who exclaimed "I DO NOT DO GROUPS!" I was kind of sorry to see the Latin drama queen girl leave (and she dragged that blonde girl down with her). By the end of the show, I was so sick of seeing the guy who auditioned with his ex-girlfriend (who looked like Diamond Dallas Page). I was elated when he ironically forgot the words to "Forget You" and was promptly booted. Tonight: we're down to 50!

Well, Well, Well...

2011-02-16T01:30:00.000-06:00

The good folks at Sports Illustrated have unveiled the cover of their annual swimsuit issue and it looks like we have a winner. Apparently this lass is from Russia; I wonder if she's ever stood in line for toilet paper. Unlikely. Also, I read that she was dating a soccer player. Unless it's someone from the St. Louis Steamers, that's a tragedy.

He Just Saved WrestleMania

2011-02-15T01:30:00.000-06:00

It was so great to see The Rock return last night. They announced on WWE Raw last night that he will be the host of WrestleMania this year. He gave a great promo that brought back memories of the glory years. As an added bonus, he absolutely buried John Cena. This suddenly makes WrestleMania a must-see show. One question though: who was the broad that came out of the limo?

The Grammys

2011-02-14T01:00:00.000-06:00

Nothing else was on, so I decided to catch the 192nd annual Grammys show. It started off hot but lost steam somewhere in the last hour or so. These shows need to take a cue from the MTV Awards and trim them down to two hours. Anyway, the highlights:

- Loved the tribute to Aretha Franklin. Christina Aquilera redeemed herself from last week's overblown anthem fiasco (although she did fall towards the end), David Otunga's wife was excellent and Yolanda Adams topped them all. Fantastic start to the show.

- I could have really gone without seeing Ricky Martin in tight ass football pants.

- Lady Gaga. Where do we start? The pointy shoulders? Were those horns coming out of her head? I mean, damn, this broad came out of an egg! I exchanged texts with world-reknowned music critic Jeffrey Watkins throughout this. He called her Madonna 2011. I said within five years she will be speaking with an English accent. This was the first time I heard the new song and it was fun. It may grow on me more.

- Speaking of Gaga, I caught her segment on 60 Minutes just before the Grammys. Not many shocking revelations, although she did admit to smoking pot and drinking whiskey during the creative process. I guess that explains the "Telefone" video. I also liked when she showed up for the interview with her ass out. You never saw that back in the days when Mike Wallace would interview Gerald Ford. And for good reason. Still cracks me up that her real name is Stefani.

- Usher and his son Justin Beiber was fine for what it was. For some reason, I thought I would be more annoyed with Beiber than I am right now.

- Stefani won an award! I can't believe those clowns played the "wrap it up" music during Gaga's speech! Hell no! You save that for Muse or Sugarland.

- I still don't know why the Muppets were out there with Cee-Lo. I was uncomfortable with Gwyneth Paltrow saying "ass" in front of the Muppets.

- I liked the Rihanna/Eminem/Dr. Dre segment. It may have been my favorite of the night.

- Can someone explain how in the world Justin Beiber qualified for best new artist? I know he's been grating on my nerves for at least TWO years by now.

- More Rihanna, which is just fine by me.

- What was that segment with Jennifer Lopez and her man? He looked like, well, like someone who had to sit and listen to her drone on for five years. Can you even imagine the amount of pure bullshit this man has had to hear over the last few years? It's unfathomable.

- If they re-do Three's Company as a new TV show or movie, who else could they possibly get to play Mr. Furley than Mick Jagger? It's so perfect. As soon as they put that show on the air, he'll be on there collecting rent every week! Make this happen.

- Who in the hell is Arcade Fire? Should I know them? Maybe I should get out more.

Super Bowl

2011-02-07T21:30:00.000-06:00

Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers for becoming this year's World Champions of professional football. Props to QB Aaron Rodgers for wearing the WWE title belt (a.k.a. the "Ric Flair belt") on his shoulder during the MVP ceremony. They should start handing out title belts instead of championship rings. I thought the commercials were kinda lame but the two that stood out for me were the Darth Vader/VW ad and the one with Kim Kardashian. Star Wars and big asses will get me every time.

Holly's World

2011-02-03T00:10:00.000-06:00

Week Two of Holly's World wasn't as good as Week One (and how could it be?), but it was tolerable. No appearance by the arch enemy this week, which was a huge mistake. This broad needs to be mixing it up every week. This week's episode centered around Holly going to the Playboy mansion to confront Hugh Hefner about his new fiance. Bascially, the broad talked a lot of shit and went soft when she got there. She met the new fiance and couldn't have been nicer. I just wish someone on the show would acknowledge how ridiculous it is for Hefner to be dating someone so young. Realistically, he should be dating Betty White. Oh well. Hopefully next week we will see the return of Jayde.

The Raven Effect

2011-02-01T17:00:00.000-06:00

Congratulations go out to Raven Symone, who just had her new show The Great State of Georgia picked up by the ABC Family channel. Too bad it wasn't a show on late night HBO or a revival of Red Shoe Diaries (she's like 25 now, I can make that joke, right?)

Taker vs. Sting?

It's a fake, but I can still get excited, right?

The 2011 Royal Rumble

2011-01-31T01:00:00.000-06:00

Congratulations to Alberto Del RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIO, the winner of the 2011 Royal Rumble. This was my first WWE PPV since March of last year and I thought it was pretty good. Dolph Ziggler (who desperately needs a name change) and Edge had a good match, Miz vs. Randy Orton was decent, the Divas match was okay and I really enjoyed the Rumble itself especially the John Morrison spot and Nexus just killing dudes. The returns of Booker T and Diesel had me out of my seat. The announcing was atrocious, but hey, you can't have everything. Good start on the road to WrestleMania.

American Idol: Night Three

2011-01-27T09:30:00.000-06:00

It was another decent episode of American Idol, although these two hour episodes are starting to drag. Steven and Jennifer are becoming more solid as they settle into their roles. Randy is, as Andrew Dice Clay once said, as soft as shit on a hot summer night. If the votes is split and comes down to him, he always lets them through. I thought the White House intern was pretty good (Michelle better watch out for this broad). The funniest was the lady who was there to support her family member then got a leg cramp. The guy at the end had just about the saddest story I've ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised to see him make it. Meanwhile, more singing and William Hung wannabes later tonight.

Flavor Flav's Chicken

Kourtney and Kim Take New York

2011-01-24T09:20:00.000-06:00

Unfortunately, not all of the news was good on E! last night. I suffered through forty minutes of the new show Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which is about two of the Kardashian sisters (the most bodacious one and the most annoying one) opening a store in New York. This episode centered around Kim trying the dating scene and Kourtney getting back together with her shithead of a boyfriend, Scott. This guy belongs on the next season of Tool Academy. For Pete's sake, at one point he even wore a sweater tied around his neck, pretty much the international sign of douchebaggery. In addition, Kourtney's voice was SO annoying, she probably had people reaching for the mute button all across the country. Those two are a match for each other. This show needs less talking and more ass. I don't know if I can stand another week of-- OMG look at Kim's ass in that picture above!

My New Favorite Show

2011-01-24T09:10:00.000-06:00

I never watched The Girl's Next Door, Kendra or Holly's World prior to last night, but if they've been anything like last night's season premiere of Holly's World, I've been a complete idiot. This show was fantastic. If you haven't seen it, it's about former Playboy Playmate Holly Madison and her life in Las Vegas. There were two plot points in this episode. First of all, the producers of Holly's Vegas show said that she needed to lose weight. One of the producers said she needed to cut back on the chicken fingers and fries and start eating healthier things like celery sticks. If he had told her to start eating brown rice and vegetables (Showgirls reference) I would have howled. The second plot was the appearance of her arch enemy (a younger Playmate). Yes, she has an ARCH ENEMY! It's just like Batman and the Penquin-- if the Penquin was smoking hot. And this broad was a fantasic arch enemy. She ridiculed Holly about her age ("32 is like 60 in Vegas years") and then stole her gay friend away at Holly's birthday party. The show ended with Holly getting the news that her ex, Hugh Hefner, was engaged to some young golddigger. She was sad about it and they showed a montage of Holly and Hefner together, with her saying things like "I thought we were going to get married and settle down" over pictures of her looking about 20 and him looking about 105. It was absurd. Next week she is going to confront the new couple. I cannon wait.

American Idol Returns

2011-01-21T08:15:00.000-06:00

It's back! After much hype surrounding the new judges, American Idol had its season premiere on Wednesday. And I was pleasantly surprised. Jennifer Lopez didn't come off nearly as annoying as I had predicted and even seemed a bit likeable. She was going nice on the contestants early but you can see she is going to crack inevitably. The sassy talking and head shaking is only a few episodes away. Steven Tyler was pretty good as well. Randy Jackson made the first fashion mistake of the season with that "Hit Me Baby One More Time" outfit. When was the last time you've seen a grown ass black man dressed as Britney Spears? I mean, besides one of her concerts. Ridiculous. My favorite contestant from night one was the nutty Puerto Rican girl. I thought she was going to go into William Hung territory but her voice was actually not bad. Did you see the rumpshaker on that girl though? I bet even Kim Kardashian was at home, did a spittake and said "DAMN, now THAT'S a big ass!" And it was. Night two was kind of boring but I expect things to pick up. This season could be better than I thought.

TNA Knockouts Interview

No More ROH TV?

2011-01-13T09:30:00.000-06:00

Sad news for fans of quality wrestling. HDNet announced yesterday that as of April, it would no longer be running Ring of Honor Wrestling, which is probably the best wrestling show on the air. I haven't been this mad about a cancellation since they took Good Times off after that episode where they finally got out of the ghetto.

This Just In...

2011-01-11T19:20:00.000-06:00

The coaches have been named for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter and it's UFC's biggest draw, former WWE/UFC champ Brock Lesnar, who will oppose Junior Dos Santos. The season starts March 30th. According to the Wrestling Observer website, UFC president Dana White took this time to announce that Lesnar would not be at WrestleMania. Poor Vince.

"I'm Walking"

2011-01-11T18:50:00.000-06:00

I'm digging this new Mary Mary song "I'm Walking". I'm told this is gospel. Who knew?:

The Chaperone

2011-01-11T18:45:00.000-06:00

I just saw the trailer for WWE's latest straight-to-DVD release The Chaperone, starring Triple H of Blade 3 fame (found here). Why don't they give up on this movie foolishness and just give that money to Kelly Kelly? You know things are bad when the best thing about a film is the lady who is the voice of Lisa Simpson (and played the little brat in the all-time classic The Legend of Billie Jean).

The Secret Life of Scientists & Engineers

2011-01-09T22:50:00.000-06:00

Gaga Announcement

2011-01-04T07:30:00.000-06:00

Happy 2011, everyone! Lady Gaga started the year by tweeting a picture of her ass and announcing that she will have a new album in May of this year. It's gonna be a good year. Speaking of music, a clip has leaked of Kim Kardashian's new song produced by the Dream. Um, yeah. She better stick to her day job: walking around with a big ass.

Sports Weekend

2010-12-06T10:20:00.000-06:00

It was quite a packed weekend with another wild NFL weekend, two MMA shows and an almost forgotten TNA pay-per-view show. On the NFL front, Hollywood Nations's favorite team, the Rams, won to take their record to 6-6. Six wins! Who could have dreamed of this during the Linehan Era? I think we should stop the season right now. Props to Jonathan Brookins, who looks like the nicest guy to ever win the title of Ultimate Fighter. The Strikeforce show on Showtime was really good and featured three straight bouts were dudes just got knocked the F out. Dudes were falling forward on their faces like Ric Flair. It was quite a night.

Don't Mess With Vickie

News and Notes

2010-11-26T14:30:00.000-06:00

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I only had one plate, but it could have fed a third world country for about a week. I'm taking it easy today, but here's some thoughts on things the last couple of days:

- Dancing with the Stars Finale: What a dreadful two hours. An hour and thirty minutes of filler plus the giant-headed Bristol Palin moping around the dancefloor yet again (and still getting scored higher than Kyle by that shithead judge in the middle) made for an agonizing show. In the end, the right person won (although Brandy would have given Jennifer Grey a run for her money) and Bristol gets to drive five hours back to Alaska in her truck, where she can use her newfound dance skills at the Wasilla Scores.

- New Release Monday: Picked up the new CDs by Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. These are must-have discs! Awesome lyrics and tremendous production work. You won't be sorry you bought these! (I haven't listened to them yet).

- Juan Cena: Despite WWE's storyline where John Cena was fired, local shows are advertising appearances by John Cena's Mexican cousin "Juan Cena". Ridiculous; they're starting to make TNA's writing team look like the writers of CSI.

That's all for now. Gotta catch the rest of this Good Times/Sanford and Son marathon on TV Land.

Your New World Champion

2010-11-23T10:15:00.000-06:00

Congratulations to The Miz, who was crowned the new champion WWE Champion after cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase and beating Randy Orton last night on Raw. I have to give props because this guy went from being a totally inept scrub to going to the top of the mountain. I never would have seen this day coming back when he was flubbing lines on the Diva Search segments. Good job!

AMAs on FF

2010-11-22T10:20:00.000-06:00

I recorded the American Music Awards on the DVR and watched it on fast forward for the most part. It seemed pretty tame. Has the Taylor Swift backlash started yet? I seemed to fast forward just a little more when she was on. I stopped a bit for Rihanna, Katy Perry and Usher. The performance of the night (at least what I saw of it) was Christina Aguilera. I knew it wouldn't be too long before the clothes were off again. Good marketing. The show finale at the end was pretty funny with Backstreet and New Kids giving a preview of their upcoming tour. I guess next Color Me Badd and N'Sync will hit the road together.

DWTS Rant

2010-11-17T10:30:00.000-06:00

What a mess on Dancing with the Stars last night. Poor Brandy, the best dancer of the whole season, got cut and the slow-motion, charisma-challenged Bristol Palin survived yet another week. The fun got taken out of the show like a balloon with a hole in it. I don't know if I will even bother to watch the finals next week. Who wants to see them put the crown on Bristol's giant head? I'd rather watch something with more integrity, like pro wrestling. Plus if I have to see that clip of Bristol sticking her tongue out and playing air guitar one more time, I might get sick.

Old School Raw

2010-11-16T10:30:00.000-06:00

I only caught about half of the show last night, but I enjoyed WWE's presentation of "Old School Raw", which saw the return of WWE Legends and TV setup and graphics from the 80's and 90's. The highlight for me was Jim Ross returning to call the Daniel Bryan vs. Jack Swagger match (although it was almost ruined with their insistance on inserting this Michael Cole heel nonsense). The show just seems to improve about 1,000 percent with the addition of Ross. Hopefully the thickheaded management will see this and bring the man back to his rightful place on the show.

Dancing with the Stars

2010-11-10T10:00:00.000-06:00

This Bristol Palin thing is really bringing a damper on the season. Even two performances from the Roots and John Legend couldn't save last night's show. They're going to have to bring in Janet Jackson, Prince and Ric Flair next year to make up for this debacle. In the meantime, here's a show that never disappoints, the Spin Cycle!:

The Next Superman

2010-11-09T09:45:00.000-06:00

According to a report at moviefone.com, The Rock and current WWE Superstar John Cena are under consideration to play the lead role in the upcoming Superman movie. The Rock would do okay, but I don't know if America is ready for that. Cena would bring the franchise to a screeching halt. Maybe if they are planning to release the movie straight to VHS, but otherwise I can't see it.

The Softest Tour Ever

2010-11-05T16:50:00.000-05:00

New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are going on tour together. In 2010. This tour is so soft that it should be sponsored by Charmin. Madonna won't come to my town but I KNOW this abomination will.

She's Doing What?

2010-11-03T08:30:00.000-05:00

According to several online reports, Kim Kardashian is in the studio preparing to make an album. This reminds me of how every three or four years somebody gets the idea "hey, wouldn't it be funny if we let the wrestlers make a record?" She should probably stick with what she does best... standing there. This thing better have a hell of a CD booklet.

News and Notes

2010-11-01T08:00:00.000-05:00

The highlight of the weekend was The Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear on Comedy Central. The show opened with a forty minute set from The Roots, who were joined halfway by John Legend. If the place had a roof, they would have blown it off. The below footage isn't from the rally, but this is one of the epics they performed:

And don't forget to check your local listings for this week's Family Feud, featuring The Beautiful People (and an assortment of other wrestlers). It's my understanding that electronic stores nationwide can barely keep TVs in stock because of this. Here's a preview:

"THEY"

This is one of those weeks where you wish TNA Wrestling would just fold up and go away. It started on Impact last Thursday with the Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley match. It was just sad to see two of my favorite wrestlers bleeding and rolling around in thumbtacks. I started having flashbacks to the movie The Wrestler (and not the scenes with Marisa Tomei's ass). They followed this up with their biggest show of the year on Sunday, Bound for Glory, which saw the reveal of their long awaited "THEY" angle result in a heel turn of their most popular wrestler and merchandise seller, Jeff Hardy. Sounds smart to me. Finally at last night's TV tapings, they had a guest appearance from Jersey Shore's Jwoww which according to TMZ cost them $15,000. Are you kidding me? For 15 grand, they could have gotten J-LO. These idiots. No wonder Paul Heyman stayed away.
