News and Notes

Finally Tim Urban was sent packing from American Idol. He should have left seven weeks ago and the show is only six weeks old. He won't be missed. And over on Dancing with the Stars, Kate Gosselin was booted. I will miss her because I found her awful dancing a highlight of the show. Such a bittersweet week... Survivor continues to be incredible. Old girl pulled out TWO immunity idols. I swear, this show has some great writers. And I was so happy that J.T. got voted out since giving away the immunity idol was his idea in the first place. At the end he said "never trust a woman". No, never trust your own feeble brain, you idiot. Great strategy; see you at the reunion show.

Keith Elam a.k.a. Guru, 1966-2010

Sorry to hear about the passing of The Guru of Gangstarr, who died on Monday from cancer. He was one of my favorite rappers in the 90's as the voice of Gangstarr, then he followed that up with his series of Jazzmatzz albums, which yielded some classic moments. Among my favorite songs of his were "Ex-Girl To Next Girl", "Mass Appeal", "Dwyck", and "Who's Gonna Take The Weight". He will be greatly missed. Here are some classic clips below:

News and Notes

For anyone out there who watches Survivor, can you believe the boneheaded move last night? Why would you give an immunity idol to anyone on the other team? They should have the next season of Survivor as Heroes vs. Villians vs. Dummies. I can't wait to see J.T. and Colby voted out... In anticipation of this weekend's TNA Lockdown pay-per-view, enjoy this interview with Velvet Sky of The Beautiful People:

News and Notes

It was another average week on American Idol. I thought Adam Lambert did a really good job trying to get something out of the hapless contestants. In the end, it was Andrew and Katie who went home, which was long overdue in both cases. Things are finally going my way; with this luck I should buy some lottery tickets and run out to Vegas and roll the felt... The best thing about this week's Monday Night "Wars" was the new TNA show Reaction that came on before Impact. It's amazing that TNA's best work always comes when the so-called writers aren't involved. Does anyone in charge of that company see a pattern?

News and Notes

Celebrity Apprentice continues to be an enjoyable show, with another fun episode tonight. Unfortunately it was model Selita Ebanks (above) who had to go this week (just one week after leading her team to victory). Oh well, at least the wrestlers are still there... Speaking of which, there are now SIX hours of Monday night wrestling between Ring of Honor on HD Net, WWE Raw on USA, TNA Impact on Spike, plus TNA now has a preview show at 6PM CST as a prelude to Impact's new time slot of 7PM to 9PM CST. I saw the first five minutes and it did a better job of promoting the product than any recent Impact segment ever did. Probably a good sign that the "writing" team has nothing to do with this new show. The spoilers didn't look promising but there will be a "Leather and Lace" match between Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. Not sure what a Leather and Lace match is but something tells me I won't be missing it... Shout out to my boy Common who had a role in this weekend's top movie Date Night. As a fan who's been down since the days of "Breaker 1/9", I'm loving this.
