Report: NBC renews daytime soap “Days Of Our Lives”…major announcement about the show coming soon!

Leave a comment

Like sands through the hour glass… so are the days of our lives.

Rumours have been circulating for a long time now that NBC’s longest running daytime TV show “Days Our Lives” had just renewed it’s contract by NBC. No word on how much longer the show plans on still staying on the air but sources say it could last ’til about 2010 or 2011.

Expect a major announcement, and official press release that would be sure to get big national media coverage very soon. The longest running soap opera in history of TV has been on the air for over 40 years. The show first made it’s debut way back in 1965 starting off with the Horton family first, then as the year’s went along it went on with the Brady’s and the Roberts families.

The show currently stars Peter Reckell, Stephen Nichols, Drake Hogestyn, Bryan Datillo, James Scott, Jay Kenneth Johnson, Josh Taylor, Kristian Alfonso, Deidre Hall, and more.

The people in Salem won’t be getting off our TV screens anytime soon, so you DOOL fans have nothing to worry about.

Sweet news! It would be sad if a veteran TV show gets axed this soon. While the show has low ratings, it still has a lot of fans. I’m one of them. I really am into mobster and crime stories and there’s a lot of that in this show. I just record it on my DVR during the day and just watch the show at night.

Looking forward for the official announcement. It’ll be big!

Thought: David Cook, the Idol winner is fantastic!

Leave a comment

I hardily ever like any of the singers on American Idol in the past, but David Cook is actually really great. He is a good choice for a winner. He’s got a good range and perfect voice for rock music. Since I didn’t watch this year’s Idol, I’ve been in youtbe watching David Cook’s performances. I think I’m sold to this guy, he’s pretty impressive. Watch out Chris Daughtry, Cook could be the next big rock star. Finally, Idol picked a good choice!

Check out a few videos below.

P.S. In the “Baba O’ Reilly” video is that David Cook using one of Eddie Van Halen’s customized amps? 🙂

Report: Axed TV shows…

Leave a comment

A whole list of TV shows is being axed and will NOT be coming back next season, and will never be coming back on our TV screens ever at all. “Las Vegas” (pictured of above) is one of them. “Las Vegas” is a show that starred James Caan and Tom Selleck, the show ran at least 5 years. This list confirmed the rumours that “Bionic Woman” is cancelled. Bob Saget’s game show “1 vs. 100” didn’t last long, and Kelsey Grammer’s new TV show “Back To You” was short lived as well.

I’m dissapointed in “Las Vegas” and “Bionic Woman” cancelling because they were both good shows. I could care less about the rest of them in this list.

Thank god “Friday Night Lights” have been saved. “FNL” will last for a long long time since NBC knows that show has a huge fanbase. That show will get more popular in the future.

Report: David Cook wins American Idol this year…

Leave a comment

The singer that once performed Chris Cornell’s version of Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, David Cook is the winner of this year’s American Idol.

David Cook is the first “rock” singer who plays real instruments to win the competition. Most of the winners over the years were pop singers and country singers. All the male rock artists never won American Idol although they tried.

The Associated Press reports:

Wow! I hate American Idol but I’m shocked that they gave a rock artist a chance! Holy shit!

Over the years of American Idol, most viewers would vote on talent over the good looks and totally ignore the talent.

I guess America wants artists with real talent who play instruments and sing for real. Now it makes me wish I watched A.I. this year. It’s about time that American Idol is about to change with people that wanting to play real instruments, instead of Idol’s typical karaoke thing.

Idol sounds decent this year.

Thought: “The Office” season finale…hilarious…

Leave a comment

Over the weekend, I finally got around to watching the 1 hour season finale to “The Office” that I recorded on my DVR, and I would say it’s the best episode all year long. I enjoyed this year’s season.

No, Jim did not yet propose to his co-worker girlfriend Pam, he was about to but put the ring back in his pocket to save it another time. Maybe Jim and Pam will get hitched next season. Toby Flenderson leaves his job as he gets a replacement with some woman that the office boss, Michael doesn’t like at first but then begins to have a romantic interest in her later in the episode. Michael’s romantic interest in her cuts short when he runs into his former pregnant girlfriend at a local grocery store.

The show ends with previews and clips of “Get Smart” which stars Steve Carrell in the leading role of the film. “Get Smart” is an action comedy crime type of film that also stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. “Get Smart” is a remake of a 1965 film directed by Mel Brooks.

I’m a huge fan of “The Office”, I’ve been watching the show since the show started, Steve Carrell is awesome and so are the characters in “The Office”. I also like Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson, those two are also my favorite actors on the show.

I’ll be looking forward to next season when the show comes back next year!

Report: Bryan Dattilo returns to “Days of Our Lives”…

1 Comment

Actor and soap star Bryan Dattilo is back on “Days Of Our Lives” playing his longtime role of Lucas Roberts. He wasn’t fired, he didn’t quit, and he wasn’t suspended for any reason. The film crew for “Days” forced Bryan to take a break from the show due to a storyline where Lucas goes to prison for shooting EJ Wells in the back at Sami and EJ’s wedding. In a recent storyline, EJ Wells forgave Lucas for his mistake and willing to get him out of prison to make Sami happy. It’s all about the storyline with Bryan’s break from the show, the film crew had nothing against him.

It’s good to see Bryan back from a 4 month break and the show will now get interesting.

Report: Bill O’ Reilly vs. Keith Olberman vs. General Electric vs. News Corp…

Leave a comment

Bill O’ Reilly is in the news again. He is now blaming the deaths of US Troops in Iraq on General Electric. Reports are saying that Bill O’ Reilly was sent out to do this by Fox News chairman Roger Ailes. You all know how talk show host Keith Olberman like to attack FOX News a lot? Well Roger Ailes threatened Keith by saying if he doesn’t stop the attacks at FOX News, he’ll send Bill after him. That’s what exactly happened. Bill and Keith were fueding for a long while, that this ended with a ongoing feud between Genereal Electric and News Corp.

Read this 5 page article to see how it all went down:

Just goes to show how much power and ego that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp really have.

Murdoch or Ailes would never fire O’ Reilly, Bill O’ has too much power that he can do anything he wants on TV.

Don Imus and Dog the  Duane Chapman can get fired for saying wrong things, but not Bill.

Report: Playboy is coming out of the closet???

Leave a comment

I am not gay, I am straight but for those who are out there I thought I would report this, looks like the Playboy company is coming out of the closet by planning to make a move into the gay male community by launching a soft-core gay porn Playboy channel for the males for the On-Demand services Time Warner digital cables.

Playboy has been “straight” entertaining men with women since 1953, but now they want to try something different with “man on man” action. No word on when the channel is scheduled to be launching.

More on the story here:

http://www.xbiz.com/news/93658

This may soon create a lot of controversy in the news indeed.

Is this a good idea? Playboy was made for straight males, but now they want to try and mix it up with gays.

I don’t see this lasting too long to be honest, Playboy will get a lot of hate from the straights by it.

It don’t hurt to give it a try though to see how it goes. May the rumours of Hugh Hefner being gay begin.
