I'm thinking of starting a fan club. More like anti-fan club. It's dedicated to Scott Sabol, who, despite BEATING HIS WIFE, looking like a fugly alien and singing TOTALLY OFF KEY, somehow manages to remain on American Idol.

Now check out THIS site and tell me you're not appalled. Apparently people are voting in Scott as a joke.. and it's working!

Well.. Constantine was too smug for his own good anyway. At least Vonzelle's still in.

I'm so nervous right now. No, it isn't because I have my last exam of university in approximately 3 hours. Rather, it's because I have a funny feeling that Vonzelle is getting kicked off American Idol tonight instead of Scott!!! I don't care if Vonzelle was a little pitchy last night, she SANG that song and Scott is just plain scary and bad and scary! I would say "lighten up and smile a bit brother" but I'm scared that his smile will look creepy too!

Will edit this post tonight. Hopefully to celebrate Scott's departure and not to lament Vonzelle's early leave.

In other Idol news, did you hear? Apparently Paula had an affair with contestant Corey Clark from season 2! I don't believe this but ABC news is coming out with a speical "expose" on American Idol next week. Whooo this should be juicy....!

Sarah just told me that she went to school in grade 8 with Gregory Smith.

Alex, my friend from back home, has a roommate who hangs out with Gregory Smith in Vancouver during the summers. They go on like road trips and stuff. Alex has spoken to him on the phone. She calls him "Greggy."

Sarah told me she went to school with a girl who is now Gregory Smith's best friend. The girl's name is Erin.

Alex's aforementioned roommate's name is Erin. She's from Vancouver.

Sarah was talking about Erin. Sarah, Erin and Gregory Smith went to school together in Vancouver.

I've met Erin a few times in Hamilton. So technically, I'm "friends" with Gregory Smith's best friend. Cool coincedence eh? (Did you follow everything?)

Gregory Smith needs to cut his hair and get some undereye concealer stat! He seriously looks like a droopy dog.. and not in a cute puppy way either. My eyes looked like his when I went to take my passport photos last week and the girl told me it wasn't an acceptable look. I'm not even kidding. I had to re-do the photo again and it still didn't turn out well. I'm not really sure how this relates to Gregory Smith anymore...

The Everwood writers have done a good job changing our opinion of Ephram from "awww, Madison lied to him!" to "Stop moping and take the Julliard audition already fool!" I mean, Amy went to all that trouble for him! It's funny how just last week we were feeling so sorry for Ephram and this week we are already sick of feeling sorry for him...

In other news, I added a spiffy comment box/message board thing to the left <<<< so go and post a comment and talk to each other and uh.. stuff. GO!

Here it is people: The new Backstreet Boys video for "Incomplete." (My opinion? More of the same over-emotional posing and arm-thrusting and exaggerated facial features, but I have to admit, the song is growing on me...)

Backstreet Boys - Incomplete

Totally found a new favourite show: Movie Life: House of Wax. It's an MTV reality series that follows a bunch of stars as they make a horror film called "House of Wax." But check out who these stars are: Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, Elisha Cuthbert and Paris Hilton. This is like a WB programmer's wet dream here!

Anyway, the first episode aired tonight and I caught it totally by accident - I was channel surfing during the Smallville commercials. I KNOW! I too am distraught over this channel conflict. What to watch, what to watch?! In the end, I thought the chances of downloading Smallville were probably greater than Movie Life, so I chose to stick with MTV and catch the end of Smallville on my computer.

Now for some thoughts on the cast members listed above (based purely on the half-hour episode tonight):
1. Chad Michael Murray is a Divo! (Male diva) He is mean and bossy and cocky. He's totally the high school jock who would shove nerdy kids into the locker in between classes. You should've seen the way he was bossing his "personal assistant" (read: slave) tonight. Previews for future episodes show him telling the cameras to "get out of my face" and looking downright angry.
2. Jared Padalecki is way cooler and more easy-going. And he's tall. And I don't know much about his career other than the fact that he's on Gilmore Girls and he was in the Olsen twins' movie... uh.. so I've heard...
3. Elisha Cuthbert is way sweeter than I thought. Her FHM and Maxim articles had her coming across as such a bitchy girl (uh.. so I've heard...), but she really nice. Best line of the night: Paris gets to wear this sexy lingerie for the movie and I'm given long-johns?!"
4. I love Paris Hilton. She went to a fan's birthday party. The girl was having a Paris Hilton theme party! That's so cool of her. Best line of the night: "My fans were even wearing Von Dutch hats. I totally stopped wearing that like a long time ago, but still, that's hot (giggle)."

I'm excited to watch the rest of the season. I think they show CMM proposing to Sophia Bush! Awwww! And apparently Paris Hilton has some sort of panic attack breakdown! And we thought she couldn't embarrass herself anymore than The Simple Life! Wow. TV does NOT get any better than this!


In other news... WHO THE HELL KEEPS VOTING FOR SCOTT SABOL?! Big Alien Dude (acronym: BAD) needs to go already!

Mariah is BACK.


Mariah Carey's new CD is out! Finally, she's getting some HUGE reviews and a lot of buzz. And for once, the talk is not about her "breakdown" (SO three years ago!), her boobs or her ditzyness. The latter two topics have seemingly been transfered to Jessica Simpson, but that's another blog altogether.

Anyway, the new album is GREAT and the songs reflect a calmer, trendier, more confident Mariah. Listen to songs from "The Emancipation of Mimi" HERE.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Federline on expecting their first child (Well, her first, his like, third).

Brit - take care of yourself and stop smoking already! And you might wanna compare notes with Fantasia, the girl from American Idol, cuz she knows a thing or two about being a single baby mama. I mean, let's face it, Kevin's gonna be outta here real soon. And don't even think about asking for child support payments from him. His money is YOUR money remember? Maybe this single mom thing will finally be the thing to turn the media back in her favour and shut up those pesky tabloids. Damn Star Magazine who tricked Britney into an interview!

Good luck Britney Spears.

Eww. This is gross. Someone is auctioning off Nick Carter's snot on toilet paper. Apparently this person interviewed the Backstreet Boys and stole the TP after the interview. Check it out (and make your bid) HERE!

Backstreet Boys. New album in June! haha

OMG. I know I shouldn't read spoilers... but I found a really juicy one about The OC over on spoilerfix.com

It's sooo good! But click "close" now if you don't want to know...











... You sure you wanna scroll down?





















In the season finale... OLIVER IS BACK! Yep, Oliver is back. Even if you don't like him, admit that you are curious as to why the hell they are bringing him back, right? Why is Oliver back and what does he have in store? Watch the episode and you'll know! Also Marissa receives a letter that shakes her up to the point that Julie wants to get her a bodyguard. Kaitlin is back from boarding school. And... there is a funeral... but whose? Dum dum dum dum! You'll have to watch to find out!

From TVguide.com:

So it appears (and I can't emphasize that word enough) that good ol' Mary Alice Young (or Angela) swiped Zach when he was a baby, changed his name, and then disposed of the female "private detective" who came calling for him. Private detective? Try real mother, I bet. The question is whether she was anybody notable or just a random soon-to-be corpse.

From tvandme.blogspot.com (Tim)
Okay, call me crazy, but what if EDIE is Zack's real mom?! I know it's far-fethced, BUT... Didn't she mention that she had a kid? And she's like the only Housewives character who has yet to reveal some sort of shady/weird past. All the other characters have seen their pasts explored and some juicy revelation revealed, except Edie. Plus, she's friends with Mrs. Huber and Mrs. Huber's sister is involved somehow....

Your thoughts?

What Not to Wear needs to start casting some uglier people. I mean, it's not that exciting to watch when the person getting a makeover is kinda stylish. Take for instance, the girl on tonight's episode. In Montreal she'd totally be considered funky cool. I could see her as a Simon's mannequin. And anyone who can pull off goodwill shopping gets an A for effort in my book (shout out to Sarah!). WNTW needs people like ugly mothers or fat people who wear baggy clothes because they don't know how to dress for their body. THAT would be fun to watch!

As for The OC... could last night's episode have been any more predictable? My friend Candice msn-ed me for a recap today and by the way I explained the plot, it could very well have been ANY OTHER EPISODE from the show's history:
1. Awkward moments between Ryan and Marissa
2. Seth and Summer fight about something stupid
3. Some fancy Newport party/event
4. Something bad happens at the fancy Newport party/event
5. Cue Angry Ryan
6. Sandy Cohen delivers a witty line and the conflict is resolved
C'mon, that is exactly how the show works right?

One important question though: Have Ryan and Marissa slept together? Well, we know they have slept in the same bed, but have they had sex? Because I was a little un-nerved when Ryan walked in on Marissa and saw her naked and she said "It's nothing you haven't seen before" and I couldn't remember when he's seen her like that before!! Whoa.. calm down Tim, calm down. It's just not a good feeling when you pride yourself on OC trivia and then something happens to question your OC-ness y'know?

How much longer can I take this abuse?! Scott Sabol is killing me on American Idol! And those are PUNS people, in case you didn't read THIS. Yeah, apparently Scott was arrested for beating/abusing his ex-girlfriend and baby mama. I like using that term. Makes me feel like Fantasia.

Speaking of Fantasia, she brought down the house tonight on A.I.! Granted, she screamed most of her song, but at least it was powerful and motivational screaming y'know? Not bad screaming like uh... Anwar or Bo or Anthony's hole in his neck. The guys have GOT to get going! I mean, Vonzelle in the bottom three?! She's replacing Nadia Turner as my token favourite black girl on American Idol so she can't be voted off people!

Scott needs to go next week. And not only because he looks like a scary bulldog (Scott Sa-BULL anyone?). And not only because his stage presence is non-existent and he is left attempting to sway like creepy 40-year old men in clubs. No, Scott needs to go because not only is he a wife-abuser, he apparently, is also dating Nadia Turner! Eww! That is just wrong. She can do waaaay better and he is not good for her career. Scott needs to be cut and that my friends, was NOT a pun.
