The Idol competition has made it down to the final two contestants who will battle it out for the title. Spoiler alert, if you don't know yet, and want to stay in the dark until you catch up on your TIVO, then you might want to stop reading... right.... about... now.
The final two include (pardon the infusion of my personal opinion) the screaming Adam Lambert and the John Mayer look/sound-alike Kris Allen. Danny Gokey was sent packing on Wednesday night's results show which featured the singer's hometown returns complete with parade. It's pretty amazing to watch the parade footage. It shows how much the Idol contestants lives have changed in the blink of an eye. I'm sure it's pretty shocking for them too, having lived in Idol-land with no real link to the outside world for so long. This is probably their first journey into what "normal" life will be like for a little while.
Anyway, I digress. The final two are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. I would imagine it doesn't even really matter at this point because Simon already told Oprah that he thinks Adam Lambert is going to win. So, let's just think of next week's finale as a bonus episode.
I have to admit, while Danny Gokey wasn't the most interesting singer in the competition, I loved him the best. He had that "like-ability" factor and such an endearing story. I was really pulling for him. I'm not worried about Danny Gokey, though. He'll be a success to be sure.
And just so you know, if Adam Lambert wins, I am fully prepared to move to Canada. (I'm sure some of you are on your knees praying right now).
Chris Brown has denied reports that he's dating singer Natalie Mejia. The two were reportedly seen together and photographed at a West Hollywood tatoo parlor. I actually believe that he's not dating her, but this got me thinking...
Probably sooner rather than later Chris Brown will end up dating someone else. I am wondering what the public will do to that woman. I suppose most will argue that she knows what she's getting herself into. I also suppose she'll be subjected to all sorts of scrutiny.
Without knowing who Chris Brown will date next, what do you imagine you'll think about that person? Do you think this woman will be deserving of all of the negative scruitiny? Just something to think about...
The wisdom of Marilyn...
Lindsay Lohan has had a tatoo of a Marilyn Monroe quote inked on her wrist. The full quote is, "Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle." First of all, that's a lot of words for a wrist, but that aside, I am trying to imagine what quote I'd have tatooed were I to get a quote tatoo. I am sure I would have my favorite quote by poet Mary Oliver, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Or else I'd have this wisdom from Spinal Tap, "this one goes to 11... it's one louder."
What would yours be?
Now here's a celebrity baby name I can get behind...
Josh Holloway, Sawyer from ABC's LOST and wife named their brand new baby girl Java ****ala Holloway. Naming a child after the beverage that gives us life... yes. I can totally celebrate that!
So you think you can... be a disgusting human being...
Alex Da Silva, a renowned Salsa choreographer who is a staple on the hit FOX show, 'So You Think You Can Dance' has been arrested. He was brought in on suspicion of sexually assaulting four young women. One of the women was a minor at the time of the incident.
The four young women each reported a similar story where they were lured into Da Silva's bedroom at his home and then were sexually assaulted by Da Silva. The four women do not know eachother, but each has a similar story.
I am sorry for these four women, and am curious about what sort of statement SYTYCD will put out. I'll be paying attention.
Holding on to hope...
Farrah Fawcett has been hospitalized in Los Angeles since Thursday as a result of her battle with cancer. The 'Charlies Angels' icon was first diagnosed in 2006, went into remission following aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, and the cancer returned in May of 2007. The actress is said to still be in good spirits, and is holding onto hope. She wants her fans to do the same.
Meanwhile, while his mother is lying in a hospital, Redmond O'Neal, son of Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal was arrested again for drug possession.
And just so you can stay as far away from your television as possible...
I want you to know that 'the Hills' returns to MTV tonight at 9:00 pm.
I am probably more worked up about this than I should be. Correction, I am definitely more worked up about this than I should be. Katherine Heigl from 'Grey's Anatomy' (who you will no doubt recall has said that the writers have given her "nothing to work with" of late and blamed them for her lack of Emmy nomination last season) amid rumors that she is going to be killed off the show has said that she would like to stay "if they'll have her." Shonda Rhimes who is the Creator and Executive Director of the show has not tipped her hand to say whether or not Heigl's character Izzie Stevens will die from the cancer she has been diagnosed with.
Recent reports were that Heigl was interested in growing her film career and was not interested in continuing on the show, but now she is saying otherwise. Heigl says about pursuing both film and staying with 'Grey's', "I'm more than happy to make that compromise. As my agent likes to say, 'High-class problems,' I don't know if I want to continue for five years working 12 months a year, but I can take at least another year or 2."
Wait a second, I think we need to revisit that again, "I don't know if I want to continue for five years working 12 months a year..."
Once more, "I don't know if I want to continue for five years working 12 months a year..."
You mean like other people, Katherine? Like most people who bring home a paycheck? Like most people who wake up every morning to go to work - 12 months a year? The only people who really don't work 12 months a year are teachers - and even they take on jobs the 3 months they are off because they aren't getting paid nearly enough (in my opinion) - and certainly nowhere near what a star of 'Grey's Anatomy' is getting paid. Or what about REAL doctors - who work 12 months a year and much more difficult hours actually saving lives?
If it's really too much Katherine, then the 'Grey's' fans, I'm sure will be more than willing to let you go so you can have a little break from "working 12 months a year" like the rest of the world. I know I'd be willing to go without Izzie Stevens!
Anybody else think Katherine Heigl could use a little reality check?!?!?!??!?
Danica McKellar, the actress who played Winnie Cooper on the hit show The Wonder Years, was married recently in La Jolla, California. She tells People Magazine, "I didn't want a huge event. I wanted to be able to talk to everyone and I wanted it to be intimate."
Danica McKellar got her wish when she married composer Michael Verta who she has been dating for 7 1/2 years. They were married in an ocean side church in front of 150 guests, with Danica's sister, CrystalMcKellar (who played Becky Slater on the show) as her maid of honor.
Danica McKellar is a great role model! The 32 year old went to Stanford after completing her Wonder Years run and studied Math. She also wrote a book called Kiss My Math aimed at young women, encouraging them to study math by making it less intimidating.
Zac Efron is no Kevin Bacon...
and he knows it. He has dropped out of the Footloose remake and the studio is giving no reason.
I hope this means they will not be going forward with the remake. Am I the only one getting really tired of poorly made remakes of classics? Are there seriously no new ideas???
Was John Mayer's relationship with Twitter the cause...
of his split with Jennifer Aniston? Sources are saying that John Mayer's excessive Tweeting was making Jen jealous. They say that Mayer would tell Aniston he was working, but he was spending more time "Tweeting" than calling her. I bet there are millions of guys in this world who would give up their relationships with twitter for a chance with Jennifer Aniston!
