Jesus Probably Gets A Kick Out Of This 2008-05-22 23:19:00 In the spirit of Flight of the Conchords, this fake Chrisitan folk group just got bumped on to the semi-finals on tonight's Last Comic Standing season premiere.They're called God's Pottery and they are pretty hilarious. I want them to go far because it's high-time a musical comedian or two got in on the LCS fun.Check out God's Pottery below. Do they have what it takes? Read more:Jesus

eduTV Guest Blog: I like When Girls Kiss Girls 2008-05-22 23:03:00 SPOILER ALERT!!Ok, I just finished catchin' my breath after what I thought was a pretty solid Grey's Anatomy. Yang sprang out of her funk (finally), Meredith was her usual dramatic self, George is retaking the intern exam, and some stupid kid jumped into a pool of cement and almost died. Whew, a fun-filled two hours and what did I decide to blog about? The end of show lip locks. Go figure.Geor Read more:Guest

Hump Day Updates 2008-05-21 22:16:00 My least favorite "chef" on Hell's Kitchen sliced off the tip of his thumb in a cooking related fiasco. Gosh that guy is a tool.Did anyone else know Kristen Davis, Charlotte of Sex and the City fame, is a recovering alcoholic? She's been sober for years apparently so those Cosmos were probably just raspberry lemonades. Chances are, she quit cold turkey after this.Tonight's American Idol results ar Read more:Hump Day
My Two Cents On The Idol Finale 2008-05-20 21:07:00 For the good of the contest, music, and the remaining months of a boy's childhood, I am rooting for David Cook to win American Idol tonight.Disagree, write messages in all caps, call me tone deaf, call me stupid, say what you will. Winning this is not in the cards for him. Let him grow up, let him find a passion for music rather than a talent for it. Once he's inspired, no doubt his music will be Read more:Finale
The Bachelorette: Wow, I Kind Of See Why I Avoided This 2008-05-19 23:09:00 Tonight I started my assignment for CollegeCandy as the weekly reviewer for The Bachelorette
. I've never seen the show or The Bachelor so it was a new experience. At two-hours long, it was a draining one at that.Since my full review will be posted tomorrow, I'll just mention three things I learned about this show.It is cheesy as hell. There's repeated buzz phrases ("Love of my life," "So excited,"
Longest Desperate Housewives Ever 2008-05-18 22:23:00 Despite being two separate episodes strung together with a title screen, tonight's DesperateHousewives
finale still managed to pack a pretty solid wallop of suspense, outlandish mystery, whimsy and humor.If you haven't had a chance to commit to tonight's epic, it's probably best you bypass the rest of this post. For those of you who tuned in, let's dish.Maynard? Not a bad name for a baby...goat t Read more:Longest
In Lieu of Flowers... 2008-05-17 21:45:00 The TV Addict put together a lovely montage celebrating our favorite characters and shows we lost this year. It's pretty moving for a video mourning television shows.It just reminds me how many shows and characters I've missed over the years. I still smile when I see Mark Green on ER and Dana Fairbanks on The L Word. These characters aren't my friends, they aren't my family, but they come into my Read more:Flowers
Tonight We're Gonna Party Like It's 1972! 2008-05-15 22:47:00 ABC is putting its chips in the BBC basket and making a re-make of a popular British drama for the fall season. Life on Mars follows a police officer in the prime of his career. Too bad he gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1972. Is he dreaming? Is he in a coma? Or could this really be happening?It's a little less "out there" than Pushing Daisies and more creative than Eli Stone. My concern is that Read more:Tonight

Hump Day Update 2008-05-14 22:48:00 It's Wednesday. How are you celebrating?The Real World is shooting in Brooklyn for its 21st season. In case you're counting, this is the 3rd time they'll be in New York. I wrote a post about this for my other blog but let me just say this: Really? Three times in NYC? There's no other place in the worth checking out? In this entire country? Really?My favorite chef got voted off Top Chef tonight. I Read more:Hump Day

My Favorite Late Night Headlines 2008-05-13 17:59:00 If you haven't heard, Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan O'Brien on Late Night
in '09 when Conan takes over for Leno.You can read all about the switcheroo here but the best part of the story were the hilarious blog and newspaper headlines that came out afterwards. Here's a taste:Unfunny Hipster Who Couldn't Get Through "Weekend Update" Competently To Replace Conan O'F*cking Brien - ScannerBut D Read more:Favorite
HBO In Your Home: No Subsciprtion Required? 2008-05-12 23:21:00 HBO is working out a deal to sell their some of their TV shows on iTunes. While this is great news, the real headline here is that the episodes are probably going to sell for more than the $1.99 price-point Apple has for the rest of their TV content. This is the first time in Apple's agreed to different pricing structure ever (at least on iTunes USA).You may recall NBC taking their shows off the o
Get 'Em While They're Relevant...Too Late 2008-06-04 22:53:00 Did you guys pick up your "Anderson Cooper, you're not my boo" t-shirts yet? No?Have no clue what I'm talking about? I need to start blogging in the morning.Take a gander here and see what all the fuss is about.Here's hoping this hubbub puts Usher's underrated duet with Alicia Keys, My Boo, back on heavy rotation. That was my jam! Read more:Relevant
Cleveland Rocks! 2008-06-04 22:40:00 I watched the trailer for the new Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland
Show this afternoon. You can take a peak as well right here.I can't really tell which characters are real and which were just Family Guy inspired jokes. Will Cleveland really live next door to a family of bears? Am I an idiot for asking? Am I supposed to understand how the Seth McFarland universe works or just accept it?But you k Read more:Rocks
Yes She Can! 2008-06-04 22:29:00 Set your Tivos folks: Michelle Obama, wife of presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama, is guest hosting The View on June 18.She was originally offered to come on as a guest but she insisted on serving as a co-host just like Cindy McCain did in April.No guests are scheduled just yet. Michelle is kind of a fashion plate so I'd like to see a fun designer or a successful model. Heidi
TCA Nominations Are Out! Thoughts? 2008-06-03 22:26:00 The nominations for the Television Critics Awards came out today. Unlike the Emmy's, the TV critics tend to know what they're talking about and it's always interesting to check out which shows they think are a cut above the rest.You can see the full list here but here are some stats worth mentioning.- HBO miniseries John Adams earned three nominations. That may not sound like too many but there ar
Kathy Griffin Up In Roker's Grill 2008-06-05 22:48:00 Is anyone else glad KathyGriffin
is back in heavy rotation? The fourth season of her Emmy winning show returns next week and she just hosted the first annual A-List Awards on Bravo.She appeared on the Today Show this morning to promote both programs and in between pleasantries and one-liners, Kathy "all-up-on" Al Roker. It's about time someone did it. Lord knows we've all been tempted.You can che Read more:Grill
Keep Your Hands Off Him Dexter! 2008-06-05 22:42:00 Jimmy Smits is joining the cast of Dexter
as a take-charge Assistant District Attorney. Apparently he works with America's favorite serial killer on a murder case that personally affects both of them.I'm just happy to see Jimmy Smits back on a winning show. Cane met an early death. Let's hope Jimmy's character doesn't meet his too soon. Read more:Hands
Roloff Family Friend Dies 2008-06-06 09:22:00 Mike Detjen the business partner, craftsman, family friend and soccer enthusiast on Little People Big World, died Thursday. If you're familiar with the show, Detjen was the one seriously injured almost two years ago when the trebuchet on Roloff Farms misfired.Detjen collapsed during a soccer club meeting. He was taken to the hospital to repair a torn aorta and didn't survive. The Roloff's broke th Read more:Family
What Can Big Brown Do For You? 2008-06-07 20:57:00 Well apparently he can't win the Belmont Stakes! I have been waiting all week to see the huge favorite Big Brown
ride off into the stud farm sunset as a triple crown winner. Unfortunately, the race itself was a mile and half of pure boredom. 38-1 favorite Da' Tara took an early lead and held on for the win. Meanwhile, Big Brown's jockey, Kent Desormeaux, held him up towards the finish line a
Monday Updates 2008-06-09 21:46:00 Lots of little stories tonight:Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott welcomed a daughter today. Stella Doreen McDermott is the second child for the couple. Doreen is actually the name of Dean's late mother. However, does anyone find it curious that's also the combination of Tori + Dean? Creepy!In sad news, journalist Martin Bashir, best known for conducting an in-depth interview with Michael Jackson a Read more:Monday
Best. Reality Show. Moment. Ever. 2008-06-11 09:16:00 If you missed The Mole on Monday, you not only missed an hour of mystery game show fun, you also missed the best exchange ever captured on film.In the clip, Nicole, everyone's favorite sassy villain has just about had it with Paul and she lets him know about it.Spoilers galore, so only watch if you already know who got the boot. If you missed the episode and need a recap, head over here.It's a sha Read more:Moment
You Be The Judge: Top Chef Predictions 2008-06-11 08:53:00 After a shocking dismissal of my favorite chef Antonia last week, I am not as excited for tonight's Top Chef
season finale. Stephanie wins everything (yet still seems surprisingly modest and grateful) so if she eeks it out it's no surprise. Richard is also an innovative and talented chef. He may have dropped the ball these past few weeks but came back strong in part one of the finale. Though I hav Read more:Judge

Bravo's A-List Awards Barely Make The Grade 2008-06-12 22:38:00 I caught the first annual Bravo
A-List Awards
tonight. It was flamboyant, funny, a little yuppie and full of advertisements...basically it was like every other Bravo show ever.Kathy Griffin hosted, but even on an award show that no one's really taking seriously, she didn't get to cut loose. The crowd (surprisingly B-List considering the occasion) didn't seem to get a lot of the jokes.The awards we Read more:Grade

Tim Russert, Dead at 58 2008-06-13 14:41:00 I shouldn't have to write this. I don't want to write it. Not now. Not ever.Tim Russert
, moderator of Meet The Press, died today of an apparent heart attack. He was 58-years-old. He is survived by his wife, Maureen Orth, and son Luke.He was a compelling journalist, political whiz and a master conversationalist.

I feel very collegiate.Let's do a news round-up to get back in the swing of things shall we?Everyone is still reeling over the loss of Tim Russert. His empty chair during yesterday's Meet The Press spoke volumes. His son Luke spoke to Matt Lauer on The Today Show this morning. Luke's passion will be a f
This Call Girl Sucks...And Kind Of Blows 2008-06-18 18:26:00 Did you catch the premiere of Showtime's sexy new series Secret Diary of a Call Girl?The show is based on a book based on a blog by Belle de Jour, one of the classiest working girls in London. Belle's real identity has never been revealed leading many to believe the whole thing is a work of fiction. Regardless of its origins, Call Girl has generated some serious buzz for Showtime and saw great num
Derrick Barry Makes My Life 2008-06-17 23:11:00 Being a TV blogger is not all it's cracked up to be some nights. I watch hours of television with little reward. It's enough to make me cynical, batty and even do the unthinkable and turn off the TV. Tonight was one of those nights.I had to watch America's Got Talent for the other blogging gig. There were just enough awful acts to break my heart. And then, I was rewarded with the "vocal stylings" Read more:Derrick

Sharpton Sort Of Outs Anderson Cooper: Put That On A Shirt CNN 2008-06-25 07:56:00
I imagine coming out of the closet is a sensitive and highly personal issue. And as a successful news anchor at the top of his game, AndersonCooper
may not want the extra attention he'd undoubtedly get should he ever decide to discuss his sexuality. But since Cooper's sexuality is the worst kept secret in Hollywood (though it was temporarily one-upped by that Wentz/Simpson baby) it is funny to Read more:Sharpton
