Britain’s Got Talent? No Way!

4/18/09 2:34 AM

  Because reality TV knows no bounds, Britain’s Got Talent is coming into the spotlight worldwide. This show is another show in a long slew of reality talent competitions. Apparently we must have a version for every country now. Britain’s Got Talent features much of the same crazy and exotic stuff the American version did, but they also have one other thing going for them—talented contestants. Well, at least there is one amazing contestant. Susan Boyle has become an overnight celebrity (much like Kim Kardashian did but without the sex tape). She looks—what’s a kind way to say this—frumpy. She is your typical, little old sweet grandma type. You would never expect her to singing to sound as heavenly as it does. Britain’s Got Talent does...

And Then There Were Two?

  A lot happened on this week’s Idol. Wednesday night’s show gave way to a new Idol policy—cutting it down to two judges per contestant. I guess producers finally realized that it may have been a mistake to have four permanent judges because it takes so long to get through each contestant. To avoid running long like  last week, producers decided to cut down the judging—allowing us to only hear from either Paula and Simon or Randy and Kara. At least we got one good judge in each group. I actually found myself missing Simon’s comments though. I have a feeling that we will be back to three judges next season. I guess Paula will be seeing Klohe Kardashian in the unemployment line. This week seemed to either make or break contestants. Lil...

Oh Adam Where Art Thou

Well if you recorded Tuesday nights Idol, you might have thought that we were down to the final seven already. DVR users missed the apparently spectacular performance of Adam Lambert. I am starting to think they run the show long on purpose to annoy those of us who skip right through the commercials. Adam Lambert sung an old 80’s song—“Mad World”. I’ve never been a huge fan of his, but apparently Simon Cowel is after tonight. Get your coat ladies and gentlemen—hell has officially frozen over. Simon not only complimented the performance, he gave it a standing ovation. If that’s what it takes to get a standing ovation, next week we will be seeing Anoop wearing eyeliner and doing a slightly suicidal version of a long forgotten song. Maybe...

My Name is Khloe Kardashian, and I am Here to File for Unemployment.

  First off, can I say that I absolutely love Donald Trump. He has given me so many great reality moments over the years—Omarosa and the “Rosie feud” just to name a few. This season’s Celebrity Apprentice has not been one of them—until now. We finally get a little action. I knew it was only a matter of time before Khloe Kardashian was fired—I guess its back to selling perfume with her sisters. I wonder how well “Infection” by the Kardashain sisters will sell? Donald Trump fired Khloe on this Sunday’s Apprentice after finding about her drunk driving incident. With all that money of his, you think he would at least get “E!” and would be in the know about these things. Khloe was pissed about the firing. She does...

Osbournes are the Center of Controversy—Shocker Huh?

4/3/09 12:40 AM

  America’s second most dysfunctional family is back. I’m talking about the Osbournes—sorry, I’m saving the number one spot for the Bundys of Married with Children.  This time, we get to see Ozzy, Sharron, Jack, and Kelly in a variety show. The Osbournes: Reloaded is like a dirty version of something I could picture Donny and Marie hosting.  I actually laughed out loud—yes, I LOL’ed—during the pilot episode. The things people do are so absurd, so wrong that my twisted sense of humor can’t help itself.  We got to see a guy make out with a stranger for 100 bucks. Little did he know, the hot girl he thought he was kissing was switched with an old lady. My favorite part of the show was a bit that all of us who have...
