News and Notes

In honor of Lady Gaga gracing my hometown today (I should have gone to the show!), I present to you the following clip; just two broads on top of the industry having fun shooting a music video:



Did I mention I love that video?... Turns out that Angelina Love of The Beautiful People returns on next Thursday's Impact. Looks like someone is turning face... The first hook-up of the season took place on last night's Real World and it is only the second week. You used to have to wait three months for stuff like this. In the early seasons of The Real World, could you even imagine them showing an interracial couple? They would have pixalated it. According to the previews, it looks like the relationship is already on the rocks though in week three. Who would have guessed? The highlight of last night's show was the nerdy guy bringing back some girl from a bar who was the living definition of the word "skank"... For some great commentary on Monday's big wrestling showdown, catch the one and only Jim Cornette's thoughts right here. This guy is always on point.

News and Notes

I haven't seen all of the episodes this season, but I am loving Bad Girls Club (on the Oxygen network) so far. This show has it all: skanks, fighting, cattiness, girls with big booties and a girl that astoundingly looks like Jay Leno. They even have a throwback phone just like mine, except theirs is pink (mine is more of a lavendar). I haven't seen a bonafide babe like last season's Sarah, but the show is moving so fast that I haven't had a good look... The ratings are in and it looks like a big success for both Raw and Impact. Raw won the night and had its biggest ratings since the summer. Impact had its highest ratings EVER. Looks like we could be headed back to the new Monday Night War. Here we go!

Monday Night War 2010

What a night. It was just like the old days; switching back and forth between the nWo and Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. It was incredible to see The Hitman and The Heartbreak Kid shake hands and hug. That was perhaps my favorite moment of the night. I also enjoyed seeing the surprise debut of Jeff Hardy in the Impact Zone, Ric Flair's return, the Hogan/nWo segment, The Pope, the Vince/Bret angle and the Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles match. Things I could have done without: Val Venis, Orlando Jordan, The Nasty Boys, Bubba The Love Sponge, dudes laid out in the back and midget "humor". I have to give the night to TNA, but the big question: can they follow it up? I can't wait to see the ratings... By the way, they already have Hogan merchandise on sale at tnawrestling.com. Check out the new Hogan shirt below:

The NFL regular season has ended and my beloved St. Louis Rams finished 1-16, which is good enough for the number one draft pick. Take that, you foolish teams winning games; we pick FIRST!!! Where do we need help? Everywhere. Watch us get a punter... Looking forward to the playoffs. I'll miss the NFL Ticket on Direct TV, but I'm glad it's off my bill... First it was the Sham-Wow, then it was the Snuggie, now this. Can't wait to see this thing at the Walgreen check-out aisle... I caught VH-1's Frank the Entertainer series premiere tonight (where an I Love New York alum tries to find love while living in his parent's basement). Good show, I think it's a keeper. This is the first offering from VH-1 to hook me since the whole Megan Wants a Millionaire fiasco... I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's head to head battle between Monday Night Raw and Impact, the return of Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs. the return of Hulk Hogan. I predict a Raw ratings win and I think Impact will do what it normally does on Thursdays. Should be a fun night regardless.

This Just In...

According to a report at wrestlingobserver.com, one of my favorites, Angelina Love of the Beautiful People (above left) has re-signed with TNA Wrestling and could debut as soon as the Monday extravaganza. It's a celebration, bitches! Ha ha! This is going to be the best year ever!

First Post of the Year

I hope everyone had a great New Year's! Well, today was the big day: Mattel took over the WWE figure line, meaning all new figures of every Superstar. I hit our local retailers and was able to come up with a decent roster for the Hollywood Nation Action Figure League (above). I think Mattel did a fantastic job. I really like the Entrance Greats Triple H, the Undertaker figures and Edge. A tad pricey but worth it. Of course, I grew up with those crappy plastic LJN figures so these are like gold. Good job Mattel. Now let's get some legends figures out there.

News and Notes

It's New Year's Eve and I'm spending it at home with the Thursday Impact special and the Twilight Zone marathon. Yes, I'm staying in; why break tradition? I enjoyed tonight's four-hour Impact extravaganza. They need to do this every week: matches with enough time to develop, throw in some interviews in between, leave the silliness out, and make the titles mean something. I almost guarantee that ratings would go up over the course of the first month. It seems so easy and they screw it up on a weekly basis... I was listening to our local NPR station yesterday and Don Marsh hosted a roundtable with former St. Louis TV news people Julius Hunter, Don Johnson and Dick Ford. It was a tremendous show as they told stories and commented on the current news industry. I could have listened for hours. There should be a regular show like this. On a side note, I always feel so elite when I listen to NPR... I hope everyone has a safe New Year's Eve. I'll leave you with Beyonce and Gaga; I love these broads:
