It’s official…Larry Birkhead has been confirmed as the father of Danilynn, Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter. Virgie Arthur, Anna’s estranged mother, has already declared her intention to fight for joint custody. Ugh. The circus continues…
Bye bye Gina….I was hoping this was Haley’s week to go home, but I wasn’t surprised. You alienated your rocker fans last night with that ballad. Bad choice!
Ryan says we’re expecting 9 superlative performances tonight, because the evening’s mentor is none other than Tony Bennett! I love Tony B., and respect his work and career, but I’m not sure if even HE has the power to whip this crew into shape. Blake Lewis: Came out singing a mellow version of Mack theRead more about American Idol: Top 9 Performance RECAP[…]
Shandi and Brian: Trying hard this week to stay out of the “red light’ that bathe the bottom two (“It burns!” claimed the beauty queen). She’s sooo much larger than her partner, her arms always seem to be in the way. She’s certainly beautiful to look at, but she’s got an ungainly awkwardness about herRead more about Dancing with the Stars: Week 3[…]
I think it stinks that Howard Stern is trying to mess with AI–you’d think the “King of All Media” would have bigger fish to fry these days–but he certainly wasn’t the first one to get the ball rolling. VotefortheWorst.com has been doing this for years, with only moderate success. Why? Because in every season priorRead more about Is Howard Stern ruining American Idol?[…]
What a bloated results show. I watched American Idol (on DVR, fast forwarding through the commercials), and switched over at 9:25 to find I hadn’t missed a damn thing at Dancing with the Stars. The bottom two couples were finally revealed: Paulina & Alec, and Shandi & Brian. (Loved the genuinely surprised look on BillyRead more about Dancing with the Stars: Results[…]
Ryan promises we’re in for an outstanding night, because Gwen Stefani is our guest mentor, and the contestants will be singing songs written by Gwen, performed by her and her band, or “songs from bands that inspired her.” Nice loophole guys. Sounds like a lame imitation of “theme week” to me. Gwen (who really couldRead more about American Idol: Top 10 Performance Show[…]
This week, the guys are doing the Quick Step, the gals are tackling the Mambo. Apolo & Julianne (aka Ken & Barbie): They look great together, and their quick step had lots of energy and grace. As the youngest competitors, it’s no surprise that they held their stamina throughout the dance, and did a greatRead more about Dancing with the Stars: Recap Week 2[…]
Last night, I went to celebrate Elton John’s 60th birthday at his concert in Madison Square Garden. I’ve seen Elton in concert many times before, but this was by far the best one yet. There were a multitude of celebrities on hand, and we got to rub elbows with them thanks to a serendipitous twistRead more about Elton John at Madison Square Garden: What a Party![…]
Today would have been my father’s 75th birthday. I’m sure that he’s in a good place, surrounded by his parents and siblings, and all of our other relatives who passed on before him. He was diabetic for the last several years of his life, so I’m betting he’s having one heck of a sugary cakeRead more about Happy Birthday, Dad[…]
