The Client List

Last night I watched the series premiere of The Client List, the latest collaboration between Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jennifer Love Hewitt's Rack. Until last night, I was unaware that my cable provider even carried Lifetime. If you missed it, the show stars JLH as a single mother who starts doing "extras" at a massage parlor so that she doesn't lose her house. And we only made it about 30 minutes before her character had the word "WHORE" hilariously written across her car. It was a good first outing, but I'm not sure where the storylines can go from here. I may give it another chance next week. Regardless, hopefully we're one step closer to JLH just cashing in and doing late night Cinemax movies.

WrestleMania XXVIII

I thought WrestleMania 28 was a pretty solid event. Especially if you can overlook the Daniel Bryan squash and the borderline racist Brodus Clay skit. The highlights:

- Taker vs. Triple H: Great match and excellent storytelling. All three of the principals played their roles well. And despite the "End of An Era" tag, I don't think we've seen the last of any of these guys.

- The Rock vs. Cena: Good match. The right ending for that crowd. Told a nice story and everyone went home happy. The Rock did well to take eight years off and still be able to wrestle 30 minutes

- C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho: Another good match. I was surprised by the ending but the feud will continue.

- The food: I ate my weight in chocolate chip cookies, pizza and chips. Always a plus.

WrestleMania Predictions

Predictions for today's WrestleMania 28 event:

The Rock vs. John Cena-- the trash talking has ended and it's finally time to get this thing in the ring. I predict a Rock victory to avoid a riot in Miami. And if you are to believe online reports, maybe Batista or Brock Lesnar will get involved.

Undertaker vs. Triple H-- Taker's going 20-0. He better

C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho-- I'm looking at a Jericho victory and Punk regains it at Extreme Rules

Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan-- Sheamus comes out on top and gets a push to the top of the Smackdown card

Randy Orton vs. Kane-- Orton wins clean with the RKO

Team Teddy vs. Team Laurinatus-- Team Teddy wins and Johnny Ace goes back to screwing up his real life job

Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes-- Big Show wins to get his (kinda) WrestleMania moment

Maria and Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix and Eve-- Maria gets the pin to set up a highlight clip on Extra. Hopefully we don't have to hear her laugh.

Lemonheads

Sorry to hear about the passing of Nello Ferrara, who died on Feb. 3rd. Who is Nello Ferrara, you ask? He was the guy who invented the most delicious snack treat on Earth, the candy known as Lemonheads. All the networks and CNN should be devoting around the clock coverage to this guy and doing history pieces. R.I.P.

Key and Peele

Check out the new comedy sketch show Key and Peele on Comedy Central, Tuesdays at 10:30 EST/9:30 CST. I've seen two episodes and they were both pretty good, including this sketch, which might be the funniest thing I've seen all year.

The Super Bowl

I enjoyed the Super Bowl this year; exciting ending, Madonna killed it at halftime, and the commercials were okay. Best of all, we don't have to put up with this Patriots dynasty/"Belicheck is a genius" talk all off-season. But we do have to put up with the "Is Eli in The Elite QBs?" discussions. The lesser of two annoying evils won, I suppose.
