Ass Wednesday

Have you checked out the video for Erykah Badu's "Window Seat"? The song is the bomb, but the video just came out and it's a real piece of work. It's tough to come up with an innovative music video these days but this is certainly unique. It's all done in one take on a public street in Dallas. But the big story: who knew she was carrying all that junk in the trunk all these years? As J. Anthony Brown said on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, not only could you put a drink on th at, you could put a whole bowl of spaghetti:



And speaking of ass, glad to see Brooke Adams (formerly of WWE/ECW) return to wrestling on Impact on Monday in the role of Eric Bischoff's secretary. At least this should make his eight segments each show more bearable.


Not that anyone saw her debut, as Impact did a dismal 0.6 in the ratings on Monday. That's about roughly half of what they had been doing before the Hogan/Bischoff era. Time to move back to Thursday and GET NEW WRITERS... I enjoyed this week's Dancing with the Stars, but hated to see Brenda of 90210 get the boot. That's just bad karma coming back on her. Should have been Buzz Aldrin or that bitchy reality mom. Maybe next week... American Idol was predictably wretched. The middle of the show was like a Murder's Row of bad singers. That summer tour is gonna be the joke of the summer.

Shawn Michaels Retires

One unexpected turn came out of WrestleMania 26 that I never really considered-- it looks like Shawn Michaels is actually retiring. He went out with a classy speech at the end of Raw last night. In honor of what may be his last match, I am posting a clip of my favorite Michaels match: the WrestleMania X Ladder Match against Razor Ramon:

WrestleMania XXVI

Last night was the biggest event of the wrestling year, WrestleMania. And it lived up to expectations. For the second year in a row, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels pretty much had the match of the year. Undertaker won, going 18-0 in the most treasured record in sports. Thus, Shawn Michaels has to allegedly retire, although few ever really retire in wrestling. I wonder if we'll see a Flair-esque retirement ceremony tonight. Somebody check Marty Jannetty's travel inteniary. John Cena regained the Raw title over Batista in a good match. Jack Swagger was a surpise winner in the Money in the Bank match. Overall, a great night. Great action, great food and great friends. Can't ask for more than that.

WrestleMania Sunday

Happy WrestleMania Day! I hope you got everything that you wanted under your WrestleMania Tree!

American Idol Results

This season of American Idol just keeps getting worse. Now the the eye candy of the show has departed with the elimination of Paige. Sure, her verison of "Against All Odds" was absolutely wretched, but there about three other people as equally bad. I can't believe Paula Abdul Boy talked his way through another song and didn't even make the bottom three this week. What a tour that is going to be this summer. They'd have to pay me to go. I'd rather sit through the Jonas Brother and that broad from last night again, which was like torture. Anyway, here is Paige in happier times:

American Idol

I think the most surprising thing about Tuesday's show was that Miley Cyrus was much less annoying than I thought she would be. Sure, her smokey, husky ass voice grates on your nerves but she gave good advice and seemed genuinely enthused. It was another poor night for the contestants, with Mike and Crystal as the standouts. I'm tired of the judges saying that it's bad song choices-- these people just can't sing! Were Ellen and Kara on crack when they heaped praise on Shirtless Boy's listless version of "Power of Love"? I think Paige might be in trouble, but Tim Urban and The Guy Who Sang The Paula Abdul Song deserve to go before her.

News and Notes

Dancing with the Stars was back last night and enjoyed it. Along with it was the return of the suspect judging (did they go to the same school of judging as the American Idol judges?). I have to stick with Chad Ochocinco and Niecy Nash. I missed Pam Anderson's show closing performance as I was watching the major plot twist on 24. Through the magic of You Tube however, it is posted below:



They should certainly send Buzz Alrdin or Kate Plus Eight home next week... The Monday Night Wars were okay last night. WWE Raw was about what I expected with a logical, strong last sell for WrestleMania. Impact was okay, highlighted by a fun tag team match with RVD & Jeff Hardy over Beer Money, plus Bubba the Love Sponge possibly being really hit in the face by Mick Foley.
