Sharon Osbourne vs. Megan

Here is the clip of Sharon Osbourne pouring a drink on Megan from the Rock of Love reunion show that I talked about a couple of days ago. Poor Megan. You just know at some point in her life she is going to be the type of girl who corrects someone by saying "No, I'm not a stripper-- I'm a feature dancer":

Mimi Updates "Hero"

Here's Mariah Carey's remake of her own song "Hero" (available January 20th on the upcoming Ballads CD). It's just slightly different. It kind of just makes you want to hear the original version:

Rock of Love Bus Season Premiere

Where does VH-1 find these women? Some of the women on Rock of Love Bus were so skanky that they made the women from Flavor of Love look like Princess Diana. Ladies, when you perform an act so vile that even VH-1 won't show it, maybe it's time to re-evaluate your life. Thankfully at the end of the show, Bret eliminated some of the worst offenders and hopefully we will never see them again. You know a show is great when the most sympathetic cast members are a porn star and a Penthouse Pet.

It was quite a night on VH-1 as they also had the Rock of Love: Charm School Reunion, which saw Megan Hauserman show up drunk and in a bikini. She was eventually escorted out after Sharon Osborne poured a drink over her head. What a loser. Plus, no airtime for Brandi C.!

The debut of Confessions of a Teen Idol was outstanding. They took former teen idols, such as two guys from Baywatch, the guy who threw Donna down the stairs on 90210 and Adrian Zmed, put them in a house together and will attempt to revive their careers. At first you want to laugh at them, but by the end, you were routing for them to have a comeback. Plus it was great to see that Eric Nies from The Grind is now a spiritual freak. This one is a keeper.

TNA Web Exclusive: Sabin vs. Dutt

This week's TNAwrestling.com exclusive match is Chris Sabin vs. Sonjay Dutt (below):




Also, don't forget that Tuesday, TNA's showcase event of 2008, Bound for Glory IV, is available on DVD. I wonder if the DVD extras will show me at the TNA Fanfest the day before? There goes another couple of thousand sales.

Wrestling Predictions for 2009

Here are my predictions for the wrestling world in the upcoming year:

- Kurt Angle will return to WWE, but on a reduced schedule. He will put over Triple H within a month of his arrival.

- Christian Cage will also return to WWE and will surprise some people by having a solid main event run and even winning the Smackdown world title.

- TNA will finally come to its senses, change its name to "Impact Championship Wrestling", ending years of humiliation for its fanbase from having to say "TNA" in public

- Impact Championship Wrestling will finally come to its senses, gut the "creative" team and hire Gabe Sapolsky

- Gail Kim will re-emege on Raw, get pushed to the moon and become it's greatest rating draw, before eventually putting over Triple H at Backlash.

- There will be at least one edition of Impact with eight confusing or forgettable angles, six minutes total of wrestling, and the phrase "to the back" will be repeated 23 times. The show will pull a 1.0 rating.

- Ric Flair's reality show will debut on VH-1 and set ratings records for the network. The spin-off show, "Flair of Love" with Flair wearing a viking helmet and a large clock around his neck, will debut in September.

- St. Louis' own Randy Orton will hold the Raw World title for the majority of the year

- The Beautiful People will continue to reign supreme and will even beat Beer Money for the Impact Championship Wrestling tag team titles

- Maryse will come back from her knee injury to retain the WWE Divas title all year until eventually losing it to Triple H in a Hell in the Cell match in December.
