I'm Old
Here We Go Again
The show started with the cast reuniting in the same hotel suite where the original show was shot. It turns out that some of these folks hadn't spoken in four years. Who would have thought? The first sign of trouble started when the cast had to choose which room they would stay in. Irulan wanted to make sure that she wasn't with her former pal Aryssa, who is slowly turning into the cast's lead heel. Somewhere around this time, the girl for whom the term "reality TV skank" was invented, Trishelle, showed up. Also Brynn's husband (!) and kid (!!) arrived for a visit. Awwww, they're gonna ruin everything!
After the group had dinner and drinks together, Irulan and Aryssa got into a heated argument over something that happened four years ago, which couldn't possibly matter today. The producers had to be high fiving and hugging each other in the production room. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Frank brought home the first skank he could find that would agree to come back to a hotel with a guy she just met who has six roommates and a full camera crew. Romance! Irulan demanded a showdown with Aryssa and Alton to find out who was telling the truth about whatever happened four years ago. Then, "TO BE CONTINUED..."
First episode: A+. You know when Trishelle is on a show and she's just a background player, then you have a great show. Can't wait until next week.

Watch Out Spider-Man 3.....
The Spike Lee directed flick, to be produced by 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, is a spoof of the life of Carey, with the 'lovers and haters' that she encounters along the way, and how she overcomes those obstacles to still be one of the most talented and loved musical sensations in history. Carey worked alongside Benny Medina as executive producer on the 15 minute, $5 million film short. "
Wow, it must be nice to be able to piss away five million dollars on pure bullshit. I would have spent it on action figures and gum. But I guess she could be getting into more destructive things like shaving her head, drinking herself into multiple trips to rehab, or Glitter 2, I suppose.

Maxim's Hot 100 Rebuttal: Upgrade
In response to Maxim magazine's recent Top 100 Hottest Women In The World list (topped by Firecrotch), I enlisted my good friend and noted authority on females, Upgrade, to give his own Top 10 List. And although his A.D.D. kicked in around #7, we do have this partial list for you:
1. Jessica Biel (above)
2. Kristal Marshall (WWE Diva)
3. Faith Hill (country singer)
4. Barbie Benton
5. Cheryl Ladd
6. Erin Gray (Kate from "Silver Spoons")
7. Valerie Bertinelli
Quite an impressive list. Some of it does seem to be stuck in 1982, however I still think it is more accurate than the Maxim list. I shall have my own picks, hopefully later this week.

Off The Chain
And the nutcase pictured above apparently dipped into the sauce over the weekend as well. According to online reports, Britney fell off the wagon this weekend and was spotted drinking into the wee hours of the night. In addition, she did another one of her lame 15 minute lip synch "concerts" but this time the track skipped several times and the audience booed her. How in the world did it skip? Are these people still using vinyl albums? Somebody give this poor girl a CD or a cassette tape for Pete's sake. I swear, this broad is about four months away from performing at the DuQuoin State Fair next to the Fried Snickers bar stand.

More Pictures from Judgment Day Weekend
Holla Holla: Me and Smackdown GM Teddy Long
Me and last month's Playboy covergirl Ashley Massaro
* Not trying to be vulgar, but it should be noted for public record that Brooke has an ass that, quite frankly, is not of this world. Seriously, you could take her to the finest doctors and scientists in the world and they would come to this conclusion: "Man, I don't know what you've brought to me, but this ass is certainly not of THIS world". Then they would keep her in a lab for years, perplexed at how an ass could be that perfect. I haven't seen anything that perfectly round and compact since Miss Stewart brought out a globe of the earth in second grade.

Idol Results: Are You Kidding Me?
I would recap this show, but I slept through the first thiry minutes, saw a bit of what used to be Elliott from last season, faded again, actually heard Ryan say "and next, Melinda goes home!", caught the score of the basketball game, saw a stupid LaBrons commercial, dreamed that I sat through an awful performance by Maroon 5, and then watched perhaps the best singer in American Idol come in third. That was about it. See you next season, Paula!
* well, unless they bring back Toni Braxton in that dress that she wore at last year's finale. C'mon American Idol, work with me.
Firecrotch, the #1 Stunna?
Random Thoughts During American Idol
It's the three way dance. Each contestant will sing three songs this week. They are also showing footage of the contestants back in their respective hometowns. I can barely stand the sappiness.
First Round: Judge's Choice
Our little Jordin is first. Simon picked "Wishing On A Star" by Rose Royce for her. Why this and not "Car Wash"? I haven't heard this song in ages. I'm sure I have at on a 45 downstairs somewhere. I'm old. Jordin had never heard of the song. DAMN. I'm ancient. She did a good job with it. Paula and Randy liked it, but Simon didn't like the jazzed-up arrangement. Hey, she didn't write the song. Anyway, good start. Footage of Blake in Washington. Exciting. Paula chose "Roxanne" by The Police for him. Eddie Murphy did it tons better in 48 Hours. Melinda closed out the round with "I Believe In You" by Whitney Houston, which Randy picked for her. Nails. The judges loved it and Simon rightfully declared her the winner of Round One.
Second Round: Producer's Choice
They chose "She Works Hard For The Money" by Donna Summer for Jordin. Isn't that song about prostitutes? No, really. Regardless, she performed it well. The hookers would be proud. Can the same be said of Maroon 5's feelings for Blake's version of "This Love"? Perhaps. It was decent; a cynic might say a tad bland. Learning nothing from last week, he did lapse back into the beatboxing. It was tired. The judges did like the performance though. During this song, it finally dawned on me who Blake reminds me of when he's singing: the lead singer of 80's group Wang Chung (above). It's uncanny. Melinda finished with a strong version of Ike and Tina's "Nutbush City Limits". It was another good showcase of her vocals. The judges approved, but declared the round a draw.
Third Round: Contestant's Choice
More footage of Jordin back in her hometown. She now had a star at the mall where she used to work. She rolled out "I Who Have Nothing" again and it worked I think it was good enough to get her to next week. was shown back at home with Sir Mix-A-Lot, who was just happy to be back on TV, as they performed "Baby Got Back" together. Sir said that Blake was the King of C-Town, for whatever that is worth. He did Robin Thicke's "When I Get You Alone" and was just aiiight. Melinda's hometown named a street after her. We did that for McGwire and look how that turned out. Melinda turned it out with "I'm A Woman" to end the show on a good note. Gotta believe that next week we will see Melinda vs. Jordin.

Charm School/Fit Club Recap
Things were a little more subdued on Celebrity Fit Club this week. They went to a resort and it looked like the weigh-ins took place in a cabin. Each team had to vote off a member, which pretty much killed the concept of Guys vs. Girls. The teams are now basically Black vs. White with Warren G (above), Da Brat, Kimberely Locke and Cletus T. Judd (honorary black) composing the coolest team ever vs. Ross the Intern, Tiffany, Marcia Brady and Screcch. The highlight of the show was Tiffany getting her confidence back after losing weight on the show, to the point that she performed "I Think We're Alone Now" at a club with her giant boobs hanging out. Someone please sign this woman up for a show at The Pageant. The previews for next week showed the trainer Harvey going completey apeshit on Screech, in an episode that is destined to end up in the Hollywood Hall of Fame.

Idol Results/Firecrotch on Letterman
I fell asleep after Idol and woke up just in time to catch Lindsay "Firecrotch" Lohan on the Letterman show. Not only is FC looking like Raven (above) a little more each day, she is also starting to sound like him. She was on the show to promote some movie that comes out on Friday with her and Jane Fonda. From the clip, that I saw, I don't think SpiderMan 3 has anything to worry about. She kind of admitted being a screw-up on the movie set and going clubbing. Dave didn't bring up the recent photos that allegedly show her doing cocaine in a club bathroom. I wouldn't have had the heart to do it either. Plus there's always that 2% chance that she still might put out. She said that she was going to play a stripper in an upcoming movie and that she did some "training". Man, we are looking at Tara Reid 2007. She will be hosting a weekly show about clubbing on the E! Network within two years.

This Just In: Edge Still Champ of the World!
SHOCKER: NEW WORLD CHAMPION!
Random Thoughts During American Idol
Everyone will sing twice tonight. Melinda starts it off. I'm not familiar with the song. As usual, she did well but the song was forgettable. The judges didn't particularly care for it either. Blake was next with "You Should Be Dancing". He pulled out all the beatbox theatrics and they just didn't fit. It was totally lame. It was like someone was doing a parody of him on SNL. The judges panned it. I don't think he understood. Lakisha followed with "Stayin' Alive". Nice job, but it was just kind of awkward. The Bee Gees songs are hard for other people to sing. The judges disliked it as well.
Jordin ended the first round with another song that I failed to recognize. She hit it though. Randy said it had kind of an Aretha/Mariah vibe. Paula and Simon liked it as well. She was declared the frontrunner, thus far.
Melinda rebounded strongly with "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?" She nailed it. Randy said she was back on track. Paula babbled endlessly. Simon thought the second half of the song put her into the semi-finals. That could be the kiss of death. Blake did "This Is Where I Came In", which I don't think even Barry Gibb had heard of. In a complete shocker, I didn't like it. If I can paraphrase Dave Chappelle, I wish I had four hands-- so I could give that song four thumbs down. As Randy pointed out, you don't have to beatbox on every song. Unless you happen to be a rapper from 1983. It appeared that Paula had been in the Hennessey again. Simon said that he had a bad night. Kind of an understatement.
Lakisha's second song was more of the same. Simon declared that she was on the chopping block. Jordin finished the show. Funny how that happened. She did well but the judges were lukewarm.
Tomorrow, Barry Gibb live and Blake or Lakisha get cut.

Weekend Wrap-Up
It was proceeded by Celebrity Fit Club, which is perhaps television's second greatest hour. They played clips of Screech from Saved by the Bell talking trash behind everyone's back. Cletus T. Judd discussed the possibility of whipping his ass, Da Brat insulted him some more, and Kimberley Locke just shredded him. She talked about his fake porn tape and how he tried to sell t-shirts to make his house payment. Then he walked off like a baby. He said his "true fans" would understand. Awwwww, I really don't think he knows. Kind of sad in a way. But not really. Also, 50 year old Marcia Brady almost beat Warren G in a boat race. Where else are you going to find humiliation like this?
I managed to clear out some time from my busy schedule to catch a showing of SpiderMan 3 this weekend. Some of the reviews were kind of negative, but I really liked it. Sure there was too much talking and crying throughout the movie, but there was enough action, humor and special effects to make up for it. I thought Eric from That 70's Show was pretty good. I halfway expected Donna to come down to the basement and start berating him for wearing the black suit. Also, when is Peter Parker going to give up on this Mary Jane gal and go after Ursula, the girl who lives across the hall? I have a feeling that he already is but they just aren't showing us. I'm sure there is going to be a part four, but they have seemingly used up all of the villians now. Maybe next time he can take on The Joker or King Kong Bundy.

That's Not Hot
According to forbes.com, here is what America's favorite hoochie can expect:
What an embarrassment. Hell, even Ice Cube has never been to jail. No one in my family (except for three or four instances) has even been to jail! She's such a loser. Sure she'll miss being pampered, making lame vanity records, partying and getting drunk most nights but she will be able to fill her time with new experiences like learning the prison handshake, making a shank out of a spoon and fighting other inmates over a piece of cardboard.

Idol/Dancing Results
Also on Dancing with the Stars this week, Cliff from Cheers got cut, which wasn't so bad except that has foxy dancing partner Edyta (pictured up top and above) is leaving with him. This leaves Muhammed Ali's daughter and hoping to see the cast of 90210 with Steve Sanders again as the only reasons to watch the rest of the season.

Random Thoughts During American Idol
We're down to six. It's Bon Jovi night. I have a feeling that I am going to be reminded tonight of why I own exactly zero Bon Jovi records. First up is Phil with "Blaze of Glory". I thought he did really well. And true to form, he looked as creepy as ever. The judges liked it. When Jordin met Bon Jovi, she said that her Mom loved them. They had to be thrilled to hear that. She chose "Livin' On A Prayer". The song reminds me of every burnout in a blue jean jacket with a wool collar and dirty white Nikes back in high school. Jordin did okay with the song. She hilariously dwarfed both guitarists who played alongside her. The judges didn't care for it and Simon said it was terrrible. She should have cried.
Lakisha, who better step it up this week, was next. She did a Bon Jovi ballad that I had never heard of (imagine that). She nailed it perfectly. The judges raved over it and Simon even kissed her. She just may have saved herself. This was followed by a now black-haired Blake, who insisted on putting his own spin on "You Give Love A Bad Name". Jon Bon Jovi virtually begged him not to. The clown did it anyway. It was an annoying mix of average singing and imitation beatboxing. Of course the judges loved the "innovation". So I guess they will allow rappers to start auditioning for this next year, right?
Oh hells no! Was that Baby Spice in a commercial for spaghetti sauce? With Posh's soccer husband coming to the U.S. and Scary's baby momma drama with Eddie Murphy, that makes three of the Spice Girls back in the public eye. Time for Sporty and Ginger to step on up. I can just see the reunion coming.
After the commercial, it was time for Chris. Ryan called him "Justin Timberlake". Hey, I do that too! He did "Wanted Dead or Alive" and forgot the words in rehearsal, humiliating himself right in front of JBJ. He hit the stage and did a perfectly mediocre version of the song. I would say that he is gone this week. Melinda had the show closer. She did a new song called "Have A Nice Day". She just ripped it. Best performance of the night. The judges loved it as well. They closed out with a taped appearance from The President and the First Lady thanking the viewers for donating money last week. Such great comedy. Tonight Chris and somebody will be leaving plus live Bon Jovi. Should be fun.
Britney is back-- sort of. According to perezhilton.com, Britney did her first "comeback concert" in San Diego last night at the House of Blues. Her outfit was described as "a brunette wig with a black headband, sparkling bustier, fur coat, white skirt and knee-high boots". No word on if crack was involved. She went a whopping 15 minutes, lip synched the entire time and barely addressed the crowd. Baby, what was the point? I told my sister in Chicago that if Britney was coming to the House of Blues up there that I wanted to come up for it. Strangely enough, I heard a dial tone seconds later.
Gee, I wonder if Lindsay Lohan's rehab did any good? According to celebritybabylon.com, she showed up at a party in Palm Springs last weekend and within a half hour, had taken off her shirt and was dancing around in a bra (above). I might also add that Firecrotch is only 20 and hanging out in bars and clubs. I can only imagine what will happen when she has actual legal access to alcohol. Doesn't it seem that Mean Girls was like thirty years ago?
