American Idol: Omaha Tryouts



More auditions, this time from Omaha of all places. Paula wasn't there at the start of the show because she was drunk out of her mind, uh, I mean because "her plane was late". Yeah, that was it. Then we had our usual parade of goofs, a few borderline performers, a sob story with some girl who was apart from her father and an annoying girl who claimed to be a wrestler. The highlight of the night was Paula doing a hiccup and Simon calling her a "disgusting little pig". Well. Tonight, Miami.

Making of the Band 4

- MTV has done it again. These people are the masters at assembling a cast of thoroughly unlikeable people, putting them in one house and watching hijinx ensue. And theyve done it twice in the last week with Real World/Road Rules Challenge and Making of the Band 4, which debuted last night. The show was so irritating because you would have thought these people were actual stars with the way they were acting, especially Danity Kane. You could put a Danity Kane song in a police lineup and I couldn't identify it. Puff Daddy was his usual arrogant self. Whatever happened to Farnsworth? Is his career over? This season the groups will live in one house and record their albums at the same time. I fell asleep on the last fifteen minutes. I woke up to the new Ashlee Simpson video. Totally unrecognizable. Decent song.

Royal Rumble Results

The major story coming out of last night's WWE Royal Rumble show was the surprising return of John Cena. Due to an injury he wasn't expected to be back until March or April at the earliest but apparently he has recovered ahead of schedule-- or we all got swerved in the first place. Either way, he came in at #30 in the rumble match and went on to win the thing, spoiling my prediction of a victory by the Leprachaun.



Also on the show, Randy Orton beat Jeff Hardy, Edge beat Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho and JBL went to a DQ and Ric Flair beat MVP.

Rock of Love 2

Another great show. I was a little surprised that the lead heel, the hideous shemale with the fake French accent (above) was sent packing but just like Dr. Frankenstein they created a new heel. Now everyone hates Kristina Joe, who revealed that she is still married (and working on getting an annulment-- yeah right-- the girl is there for airtime and nothing else). She was also the victim of this year's best insult so far when one of the other girls requested that she warn them when she didn't have makeup on because she was so hideous. Ouch. And it was so true. Anyway, the other person ousted this week was the last of the token black girls, which I already predicted. They only make it to Week Three each season. At least the two older broads were saved again, so I was happy.

Notes From Last Night


Questions and comments from the shows that I watched last night:


- On Pros vs. Joes, was that intimidating guy who was taking down guys at will the same Kurt Angle (above) who plays a clueless, court jester on TNA Impact?


- American Idol: ENOUGH! No more sob stories and people in costumes. We can't get to Hollywood Week soon enough.


- The debut of Moment of Truth on Fox was decent. How shady was that second guy with the gambling problem and the hairpiece? He was like something out of an 80's sitcom.


- Road Rules/Real World Challenge was excellent. These people are being humiliated just by being on this show and they don't even know it. Isn't Beth like 40 years old now? Wasn't the Real World in black and white when she was on it? Time to get a real job. All of these people are so annoying but between Coral's rack and Robin's Barnum and Bailey circus boobs, chances are I'll be back for more.

American Idol: San Diego Tryouts


Last night it was Day Three of auditions on American Idol. This time it was from San Diego. And just like its football team on Sunday, the contestants were pretty lackluster. A couple of good singers, some decent sob stories, and some annoying people who wouldn't leave. The last lady was good but her husband had tattoos on his face, so she should be cut just for being seeing in public with him. Overall, it was pretty lame. But you know what wasn't lame?: Layla on last night's ECW show (on the clip below at the 3:10 mark). Check this out before they pull it. Ooooooooh child!

WWE In HD


WWE debuted in glorious HD last night during it's WWE Raw show on the USA Network. Since I watched the show on a black and white set with foil in the attenna back at the Hollywood Nation headquarters, it didn't make me a bit of difference. Very nice new set and entrances though! And Triple H dominated for once! What more could you ask for?
