BECAUSE EVERY BLOG NEEDS A DANCING MIDGET



I can't believe I haven't put this video up yet.

GOOD NEWS FOR CARRIE


Carrie Underwood is able to finish up her week with her head held high despite losing out to Britney Spears in Album sales. Last night she won (for the 2nd year in a row) best female vocalist at the CMA's.


Who woulda thought that a Pop Singer would end up being more "WT" than a country singer?

EXTREME MAKEOVER MAKES THE RIGHT CHOICE


Being a former Marine it was good to see them pick the Gilyeat family. Not enough is done in this country for wounded soldiers and what is done is a joke. One of the saddest things about this country is that people on welfare and illegal aliens get better health care than our troops. The VA should be shut down and replaced.

If they wanted to do this Marine a favor they would blow up the house and move him to another part of the metro. This guy deserves peace and quiet and not the sound of gunshots in the middle of the night, he just left that.

FILIPINOS DEMAND JUSTICE


The Philippine government is to seek an apology from the producers of the hit US television series "Desperate Housewives" for a racial slur against Filipino medics, the Philippine Daily Inquirer said on its web site Wednesday. The officials cited a recent episode where actress Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer, asked whether the person attending to her during a medical consultation "can I check those diplomas because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines." Asked if the government would seek an apology from the producers of the show, and ABC television network that carries it, executive secretary Eduardo Ermita said: "Yes, I think we should, on behalf of our Filipino professionals." "On the face, we can look at it as a racial slur. We are looked down upon too much, considering the number of our medical professionals in the US," the Inquirer quoted Ermita as saying.

I sincerely feel for the people of the Philippines. This should take priority over the slaughtering of Monks in Burma.

They should put a Filipino maid into the show just to piss them off even more.

DEAR HOLLYWOOD, NOBODY CARES


Weak showing for Emmys Show draws smallest audience on record By RICK KISSELL
The "Primetime Emmy Awards" on Fox drew the kudocast's second smallest audience on record Sunday night, averaging 13.1 million viewers, according to preliminary nationals from Nielsen.

This year's audience comes in well below the 16.2 million that NBC garnered for its late-August telecast a year ago and the 18.7 million that watched on CBS two years ago. That puts television's biggest night behind the most recent audience for other kudocasts like the Academy Awards on ABC (40.2 million), the Grammy Awards on CBS (20.1 million), the Golden Globe Awards on NBC (20.0 million) and the Country Music Assn. Awards on ABC (16.0 million).

In adults 18-49, this year's preliminary 4.3 rating/11 share is a 17% falloff from last year's 5.2/13 and believed to be the lowest on record. It was the night's No. 2 program in the demo, with NBC's New England-San Diego NFL matchup expected to produce roughly a 6.7 rating/17 share.

The smallest Emmy audience on record remains the 1990 telecast, also on Fox, which drew 12.3 million viewers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what happens when the general public knows that the show is going to be nothing more than a protest rally for all of the "well informed" actors and actresses of the world. Stop meeting with dictators like Hugo Chavez and telling us all how to live our lives and maybe, just maybe people will watch. It appears that the only people that tuned in were the lemmings awaiting there marching orders from Leo, Ben and Rosie (all of which are subject matter experts in the military, economics, environmental patterns and ethics).

NEW TRON MOVIE


TORONTO -- Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final
negotiations to develop and direct "Tron," described as "the next chapter" of Disney's 1982 cult classic. Sean Bailey is producing via the Live Planet banner, as is Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film.

Kosinski, who last month signed on to helm the remake of "Logan's Run" for Warner Bros. Pictures, will oversee the visual development of the project and have input on the script, which is being written by "Lost" scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Story details are being kept secret.

The original, about a computer programr thrust into a computer and forced to fight in games he helped create, is remembered for its sci-fi gladiator-style battles and groundbreaking special effects. It was the first movie to use computer-generated images instead of models and other optical effects in conjunction with live action. The arcade game based on the movie was so popular that it earned more than the movie.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were just discussing the old Tron on Labor Day. Normally I don't like Sci-Fi movies but I may give this a look.

If ever there was proof that Drugs are bad-Britney Spears





Last nights performance by Britney Spears has now replaced the cracked egg in the frying pan demonstration for the "your brain on drugs" commercial. How in the hell did her people let her get like this?

Men every where that thought they would never have a shot with Britney Spears are not returning her calls.

Owen Willson tried to kill himself?

Fox News is reporting that Owen Wilson had cut his left wrist and taken a number of pills on Sunday. His brother found him and called 911.

This is the last guy that I would expect to try this in Hollywood.

Dave Chappelle makes you think


Indians.

Dave Chappelle may be one of the greatest minds of our time. For the past 6 months I have been trying to find more than 2 Indians(sitting bull not Ghandi) together in a non casino or reservation environment. On Tuesday I saw 3 homeless Indians digging through the trash behind Jeffersons and my mission was acomplished. But in 34 years I had never seen such a thing.

So how many have you seen together at once and where?
