“Dancing With The Stars” Dumps Priscilla

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Priscilla Presley, the oldest woman to ever compete on “Dancing With The Stars” was eliminated last night. It’s too bad because like Marissa Jaret Winokur who represents all the plus size ladies out there, Priscilla was an inspiration to mature ladies who still know how to shake it on the dance floor.
Unfortunately, this week’s [...]

Tax Day On TV

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Today is April 15th. Tax Day. For those of you who haven’t sent in your 1040’s you’ve got just 24 hours to make sure the Feds don’t send the dogs out after you.
But have you ever noticed how there’s never a plot on a TV show about Tax Day? I can’t remember [...]

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Michael Ausiello of TV Guide reported on Friday that ABC has agreed to give “Lost” and “Grey’s Anatomy” extra hours this season. “Grey’s” gets the bonus hour because “Lost” got one.
As Ausiello reported:
Apparently, Darlton (Ausiello’s little name for “Lost” executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof) convinced ABC that the final two hours had [...]

Invisible TV Shows: That’s Still On?

Friday, April 11th, 2008

So okay, I’m reading about all the post strike returning shows, who’s guest starring, who’s warring, who’s dreaming of a spinoff…and all I keep thinking is, “That’s still on?”
It’s kinda like when you watch the parade of dead celebrities at the big award shows and you find yourself thinking, “He was still alive? I [...]

The Return Of “Desperate Housewives”

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Batten down the hatches, suburbanites. The ladies of Wisteria Lane are returning. That’s right, the first post strike episode of “Desperate Housewives” will grace your TV set with a fresh baked batch of cookies and a smile this coming Sunday.
But first, ABC will air the Tornado episodes tonight from 8-10PM. If [...]

Marissa Jaret Winokur, A Pleasure To Watch On “DWTS”

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

I am loving Marissa Jaret Winokur on “Dancing With The Stars.” I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to see a woman who’s not a size 2 strutting her stuff every week on national television. And the girl is all personality, smiling and bubbly on the stage and off.
The judges were unfairly [...]

“Project Runway” Moving To Lifetime

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

In a move that was as dramatic as the Dodgers moving from Brooklyn to L.A., the Weinstein Company that owns “Project Runway” is moving the show from Bravo where the show originated to Lifetime—the home of every bad woman-centric TV movie ever made.  The five year deal would move the very popular reality show, a [...]

Charlton Heston, A Hollywood Classic

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Charlton Heston, an actor known for his square-jawed heroes, especially in biblical epics like “The Ten Commandments” and “Ben-Hur” died last weekend. He was 84 years old.
I have mixed feelings about Charlton Heston. His movies and his acting style were of a classic Hollywood era. Many of those films were the [...]

Jerry Seinfeld’s Little Accident

Friday, April 4th, 2008

You must have heard by now that Jerry Seinfeld had a little accident out in the Hamptons this week. It seems he was driving one of his vintage cars when the car’s vintage brakes failed. This is where the story gets interesting. Jerry knew he was in trouble and when he saw [...]

“American Idol:” Bye Bye Ramiele

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Well it was inevitable. Little Ramiele Malubay was bounced from “American Idol” last night and it wasn’t a big surprise. She was done in by a Dolly Parton song and her own immaturity.
Also in last night’s bottom three were Kristy Lee Cook, a staple there, and Brooke White. I feel bad [...]
