Just Because

As DeBarge once said "oooooh, and I like it":

TNA Spin Cycle

It's a special all-Knockouts edition of the Spin Cycle this week. The guests are Rhaka Khan, So Cal Val, Christy Hemme and ODB. Mick Foley and his family make a special guest appearance with some holiday hijinx. My favorite on the panel is Rhaka Khan. They need to feature her more on Impact-- just not in the ring. Anyway, enjoy the show:

Last Night's Impact

My favorite part of last night's TNA Impact was when The Beautiful People and the fake Sarah Palin (played by Daffney, above, who I hope they bring back) were in Booker T's dressing room and he told Billy Gunn "get those two bimbos and that yak outta here!" (seen below). I'm going to try to revive the word "yak". I also enjoyed Sting vs. Rhino, Booker T vs. Samoa Joe, and the mixed tag with A.J. Styles and Christy Hemme vs. Scott Steiner and Awesome Kong. Is Christy the most adorable human on the planet? Seriously, who is more adorable: Christy or a panda bear? You can't decide! Further evidence in the bottom clip.

New Music

The big release this week is the new Britney Spears CD "Circus". I picked this up at Target on Tuesday. They had the regular version available as well as a "deluxe" version for a couple of bucks more with a bonus DVD of interview and behind-the-scenes footage. I just got the basic one because that's all I need is to pay extra money to hear this broad rattle on about nothing. Anyway, the CD is about what you would expect from a Britney Spears offering: a few good dance songs, two or three destined-to-be strip club classics, a couple of cringe-worthy songs that you wonder how they made the final cut, a couple of slow songs that you will never listen to again, and some nice booklet photos. My verdict after the first listen? It was worth the ten bucks. Find it on sale at Target, Best Buy or the usual online outlets.

Also out this week: Rap legend Scarface "Emeritus" and the soundtrack to the movie Cadillac Records, featuring my boy Mos Def singing. I may have to check that one out.

WWE Diva Update

Ever wonder what happened to former WWE Diva Debra McMichael (former wife of Steve Austin and Steve "Mongo" McMichael)? She has a role in the upcoming movie Gathering of Heroes: Legends of the Seven Swords. She plays the role of "Reina". According to IMDB, she is about 48 years old, so she is holding up pretty well. I hope she does well in her second career.

And speaking of WWE Divas, check out my new favorite, Alicia Fox, formerly the wedding planner on Smackdown. They now have her paired with some guy that looks like Alex Wright on the Tuesday ECW show. I guess I have to start watching that show again:

TNA Spin Cycle

It's back! The return of my favorite internet show, TNA Spin Cycle. This time on the panel is Kurt Angle, Lauren the interview girl, Earl Hebner, and Eric Young:

Weekend Wrap-Up

I haven't posted in a couple of days due to celebrating Thanksgiving, doing some online shopping on Friday and general laziness. In the meantime, here is some stuff that slipped through the cracks:

Dancing with the Stars: Brooke Burke won! Congratulations. She should be back in Playboy within six months. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Rams vs. Dolphins: The Rams didn't get blown out by 40! Talk about progress!

Rock of Love Charm School: Last week's episode was perhaps the best of all-time with Brandi C. spitting and Heather's drunken meltdown. Then they followed it this week with a lame episode where two girls got cut for no reason. I'm changing my prediction and going with Brandi M. as the winner.

Kiana's Flex Appeal: I am watching this right now on ESPN Classic. This reminds me of that legendary block of programming that ESPN 2 used to run with Kiana, Cory Everson's show and Bodyshaping. Never has there ever been a finer block of television. I'm getting all nostalgic.

New Music: Last week Kanye West dropped (decent CD but not a lot of rapping surprisingly), new Ludacris, and finally the new Guns N Roses (I need a second listen).

Hulk Hogan's CCW: Another good episode. This week Danny Bonaduce got cut again. Todd Bridges is still my favorite and keeps getting better. WWE should sign him. I'd rather see him than Triple H.

I hope you had a great holiday. I'll be back on my regular schedule this week.
