Thought: Come on, Clint Black, concentrate on your music, don’t worry about becoming a TV star…

Leave a comment

As a huge fan of Clint Black’s music in the country genre, I just don’t understand why Clint is trying to turn himself into a TV star. I’ve been watching Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” every Sunday night just for laughs, it’s actually pretty entertaining, seeing Tom Green, Dennis Rodman, Andrew Dice Clay, and Clint Black teaming up together.

Clint Black appeared on “Secret Talents of the Stars” as a stand up comedian, which that show only lasted one episode and it got cancelled pretty quickly. Now Clint is a contestant on Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” this year.

Clint Black is a talented singer/songwriter that I admire, that I don’t think he needs the mainstream fame that he’s going after. Yeah, I know, Clint Black is not that well known of a country music artist, maybe that’s why he’s using TV as a ploy to promote his music.

He’s doing fine as a music artist. He doesn’t really need the TV fame. The dude is stepping in Ozzy Osbournes shoes, first as a music artist, then turning himself into a TV star.

Next week’s episode of “Celebrity Apprentice” will feature a very heated Dennis Rodman vs. Clint Black feud. Videos of the segment has already leaked youtube.

Report: Clooney’s appearance on “ER” scores high on NBC!!!

Leave a comment

As this was expected and no surprise to me, Clooney’s appearance on “ER” scored the highest ratings. Last night’s “ER” episode was the most watched show on NBC. Clooney’s episode scored a 10.7 million viewers in all during that 10:00 p.m. hour. I expect the ratings go even higher as the series head to it’s final episode. Clooney probably filmed only four new episodes of ER, that’s it.

Report: Matt Lauer not doing his “Where In the World…” series this year for the Today Show…

Leave a comment

Sesame Street is not the only victim on TV of a bad economy. Even Matt Lauer host of “The Today Show” is also. Every year for the national news show, “The Today Show”, Matt will have his own series titled, “Where in the World Is Matt Lauer”. It’s a show where Matt will travel to different places all over the world and you have to guess where he is. He is not doing it this year ’cause the bad economy is not letting him afford his world trips. Instead of doing world trips, you will have to guess where he is in the United States.

Thought: Clooney on “ER” last night…

Leave a comment

I watched it last night, Clooney on “ER”. Clooney returning to the show for the first time in years, wasn’t just an appearance or a cameo, he was on the show throughout the entire hour.

I’m sure the cast and crew were shitting their pants like a mofo that George Clooney was filming with them. George’s acting put the others to shame. It’s his talented acting skills is what made him leave “ER” to become a huge movie star in the first place. George made the other cast mates look like little kids.

George and John Stamos didn’t appear on screen yet, but with three episodes left, maybe they will before the show ends. It definitely felt like the old school “ER”, again last night though.

I’m not that big of a fan of “ER”, but I did watch it a lot when Clooney was on back in the old days. Sometimes I’ll watch the new episodes too. It’s sad to see a good show go. It’s life, I guess. TV shows can’t go on forever, they all have to end at some point.

I’ll keep an eye on the ratings report to see how the ratings did with Clooney appearing on “ER” for the first time in years. I’m sure the ratings did really well. If the ratings were low, that would be sad too.

Thoughts and prayers goes out to Jade Goody…

Leave a comment

This story is so sad. My thoughts and prayers goes out to her, and her family and friends. Heartbreaking story.

As you all know. Jade doesn’t have much time left to live. She’s the former Big Brother contestant who is suffering from cancer.

More on it here:

People like Noel Gallagher of Oasis, maybe tired of this story, but fuck the negative people. She’s a human being whose about to die soon, she could even die today possibly. Anybody who doesn’t have compassion for this woman, I hope you get stricken with cancer, lets see if you feel bad for this poor woman then. A young woman who doesn’t deserve to die this soon. Cancer sucks.

Thought: Lost my appreciation for “The Rock”…

Leave a comment

I used to love “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, he used to be a hero and I’ve idolized the guy for years ever since back when he was in WWE. When he turned his back on wrestling and became a movie star, he came out with a few good movies like “The Rundown”, “Scorpion King”, “Get Smart”, and “Walking Tall”…those were really great flicks, in my opinion.

Everything he has done after that: “Doom”, “The Gridiron Gang”, “The Game Plan”, and “The Race to Witch Mountain” hasn’t been interesting.

The Rock has been known to be this bad ass tough guy that we all loved to look after him. You know the most electrifying man in entertainment is gone. The dude is no longer interesting anymore. WWE wants the Rock to come back to wrestling for a few occasional appearances, but Rocky turns it down everytime ’cause he’s too busy making movies.

The Rock not only turned his back on profesional wrestling, he also turned his back on all the wrestling fans that loved him. The Rock won’t come back to WWE for a small run for his wrestling fans. I am beginning to think that the Rock is a big egomaniac, a self absorbed sellout that only cares for himself.

At least come back to Wrestlemania for one last final match, Rocky, come on!!!!! We all want to see the Rock layeth the smackdown for one last time. We all miss the Rock in WWE terribly, the WWE hasn’t been the same without him. He’s no longer interesting anymore. He’s turning himself into a mainstream celebrity. He no longer wants to be seen as a pro wrestler anymore.

I saw him host Saturday Night Live last night, there hasn’t been one segment where he brought his Rock WWE character back, so I guess he wants to act like that his wrestling character don’t exist anymore, since he is going under Dwayne Johnson, not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Rock is a sellout, and a fame whore. Go ahead and ignore the wrestling fans dude. Continue to promote yourself in the mainstream. We wrestling fans want the Rock back to wrestling at least for a one time only appearance, but the Rock keeps turning his back on us. He’s no longer the Rock anymore. He’s no longer the People’s champ. He’s no longer the electrifying man in sports entertainment to perform in front of “millions and millions” of Rock fans.

The Rock is no longer cool anymore as he once was. Come on Dwayne, go back to the tough guy image, you don’t need the celebrity thing.

Great to hear that Andy Richter and Conan are reuniting. I wonder how long Andy plans on staying with Conan for the next round?

Andy’s a funny guy.

I wonder whose Conan’s first celebrity guests will be when his first show will air in June? I’m sure there will be big name stars to help the ratings. We’ll find out soon.

Thought: Van Morrison will be the only reason I’ll be watching Jimmy Fallon’s debut…

Leave a comment

The only reason I’ll be watching Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night” debut is for this guy pictured above. Van Morrison!!! He’ll be making a rare TV appearance performing music. Van Morrison is a legendary rocker who written hit songs such as: “Gloria”, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Wild Night”, “Moondance”, etc. Wonder if Van Morrison will do a classic hit or one of his new songs from a new album? You’ll never know. Van Morrison rocks. Van Morrison is another legend still making music today.
