Wrestling Stuff

Yesterday's Charlotte Observer gave an account of the Stevie Wonder concert that was held in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday. I would have given anything to see this:

"After several love songs, the mood elevated with the Latin beat of "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing." In the audience, wrestler Ric Flair could be seen dancing to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours," even busting out into his signature in-ring dance at one point."

Wow, the two greatest entertainers ever in the same place, at the same time. Mentally, I don't know if I could have handled seeing this live. It would have been too overwhelming. Also, will somebody please contact WWE and ABC to get Flair on Dancing with the Stars? He would go all the way.

I was at the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling website yesterday when its daily internet show popped on. Before I could hit mute, I found out that the women's champ, Gail Kim (above) is listed at #32 on the Forbes.com list of Most Eligible Bachelorettes in the U.S. Props to Ms. Kim. If she's looking for a man with a steady job, a benefits package and his own blog, send her on over to Hazelwood.


According to the U.K.'s Sun newspaper, hot mess/singer Amy Winehouse was a huge WWE fan before hitting it big. Her favorite wrestlers were Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam. They must be thrilled. Maybe she can train to be a wrestler when her career ends in about three months.

Britney Update

Remember back in the days when Britney's biggest problem was that sometimes she dressed as an erotic police officer and had chunky legs? Ahhh, the good old days.

Thangs done changed. Here's some of the latest:

- According to an article at Us Magazine, the young harlot rolled into a Hustler Store in West Hollywood last week (possibly high), tried to try on some draws and was denied, then took off her own underwear in the middle of the store-- in front of customers-- and tried on some shorts. After this spectacle, she was annoyed that she had to pay and as revenge, she stole a wig off of a mannequin. They would have locked Lil' Kim under the jail for this type of shit. Her brain must be so fried right now. She's like a homeless maniac with good credit.

- She shot a new music video earlier this week. She was late, nervous and allegedly used a body double for all the scenes that didn't need her face. I have a feeling this won't be the next "I'm A Slave 4 U".

- In Touch Weekly reported that she was pregnant. Let's all get in a circle, hold hands, and pray that isn't true.

- After just one month, her latest CD has sunk to #41. Compared to her earlier sales, this is a flop.

- Most people don't have this much drama packed into one year, let alone one week. Her family needs to stage an intervention like yesterday. Or maybe just a really stern, good old fashioned, back of the hand, 360 degree pimp slap, preferably like the one Prince gave to Apollonia in Purple Rain. That usually snaps people right out of it. She'd be back to doing good songs and flawless choreography in two days.

Dancing with the Stars Results

Some guy in a bright yellow suit and questionable chicklets won Dancing with the Stars last night. The staff of Hollywood Nation had Scary Spice (above) ahead by about 80 points on our scorecard, but of course, we are a tad biased. So just like Stacy Keibler a few seasons ago, she can take solace in the fact that she is The Hollywood Nation Dancing with Stars Champion. Other notes:

- The best moment of the show was Scary Spice entering the stage to Ric Flair's theme song. If she had been carrying a pizza, that would have been like combining all of my favorite things.

- It was good to see the clips of the Spice Girls and all of the nice things that they had to say about Scary, but wasn't it just last year when they all hated each other?

- Speaking of the Spice Girls, did you ever see that time when Ginger Spice arm wrestled Kylie Minogue? This is why they invented computers:

What was I talking about?

- At least Marie Osmond didn't win. We would have had to hear Donny talking shit for years.

- You just know that when they read the final results, somewhere in California Eddie Murphy (wearing his Gumby outfit) leaped out of his chair and cheered like his favorite team had just won the Super Bowl.

Dancing With The Stars

Last night was the finals of Dancing with the Stars and it was all about Scary Spice (although in fairness, Race Car Guy did okay also). She did two solid routines and got the highest scores from the judges. Best of all, the Spice Girls were in the audience! Royalty! Yes, even Baby Spice was there! This was even better than last year when half of the 90210 cast showed up to support Steve Sanders. Marie Osmond did a goofy dance where she was supposed to be doll, which flopped miserably. It was just bad enough to leave this show's credibility in tatters when she actually wins this thing tonight.

Hogan Divorce/Flair Return

The Hogan divorce continues to make news. And as usual with Hulk Hogan, you don't know what to believe. According to a report at tmz.com, Linda did file for divorce but says she wants a reconciliation. Yeah. Other reports claim that the couple has been seperated for some time. According to documents, she is asking for a share of their houses, alimony, child support for their maniac son, court costs, and most of the NWO money. In other words, HALF. You just know this is going to end up being some wrestling angle where she turns heel and comes out with "Macho Man" Randy Savage to set up a grudge match feud with Hulk on pay-per-view.

In happier wrestling news, Ric Flair did indeed return last night to the flagship, Monday Night Raw. They began the angle that will allegedly lead to his real-life retirement, where he will have to retire after the next match that he loses. He had a good main event match and pinned Hazelwood's own Randy Orton with the Greco-Roman low blow (above). If done correctly, this should be a good storyline leading up until next year's biggest show, WrestleMania, in March. I'll bet good money that they will botch this somehow, because it's too good to be true.

Jay Mohr on The Jim Rome Show

One of the funniest things that I've heard in awhile happened on Friday when actor Jay Mohr filled in as a guest host on the Jim Rome Show. He ripped on his haters, himself ("that joke was as lame as FDR's legs"), the University of Hawaii's football team, a blind caller ("how do you know when to stop wiping?"), Kim Kardashian ("a normal size girl with an ass the size of Nell Carter's"), and the TV Guide Channel, among other things. He then ended the three hour laughfest by calling the city of Irvine, California the whitest city he has ever been in. He said it was so white that he went to the airport and even the skycaps were white. Incredible.

The Champ Returns Tonight!

Don't forget! Tonight! It's the return of the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!
