Reality News: ‘The Bachelor’, ‘The Girls Next Door’

For Season 12 of The Bachelor, ABC will be straying far from the blue-collar image they tried last fall.  (Maybe a different type of guy will end up producing a different result?)  Say goodbye to bar owner Brad Womack and say hello to “global financier” Matt Grant! Last night on Dance War, the audience got their first glimpse of Grant, a British businessman.  In his interview with Drew Lachey, the 27-year-old offered up a few choice …

Late Night War Ends in Violence

Well after American Gladiators finished for the evening, when most people were thinking about getting to bed, the battle of the late night hosts began to heat up…again. Let’s re-cap. Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert took exception to NBC host Conan O’Brien’s claim that O’Brien “made” Presidential contender Mike Huckabee.

My Top Five Super Bowl Commercials

Sadly, there were very few moments from last night’s Super Bowl that I will remember in the weeks to come.  (That is, of course, not including the wild game itself.)  But here are five commercials that did give me a good chuckle: Update: These (really) were not placed in any particular order. 1) The Doritos ‘Mouse Trap’ commercial ...

Paula Abdul’s Super Bowl Appearance

For those who didn’t catch Paula Abdul‘s Super Bowl pre-game appearance, here’s your chance: Now I knew the performance was going to be pre-taped, but could the American Idol judge have at least bothered to sing?  Isn’t that why the large microphone was placed there to begin with?  How can she continue preaching about something she doesn’t even practice? ...

The ‘Knight Rider’ Teaser

So here it is, the teaser for the Knight Rider movie coming to NBC next month.  I must say the network played it very smart.  The incredibly short clip will either whet your appetite or make you wonder what crappy scenes were left out. The “two-hour event” - which may also a serve as the pilot for a new fall series - stars Justin Bruening as Michael Knight’s son and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) as the …

CNN Documentary Reveals Poor Journalism

Professional wrestling has long been the red-headed stepchild of both entertainment and sports - dismissed as “fake”  for its predetermined outcomes and often criticized for its over-the-top personalities. So it comes as no surprise that when WWE superstar Chris Benoit killed his family and himself several months ago, pro-wrestling’s detractors saw their opening. Since that day, speculation over the possible, albeit unlikely, link to those deaths and steroids has opened WWE to federal investigations as well …
