American Idol 8: Louisville Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol held their Louisville auditions at the famous Churchill Downs racetrack, known for the Kentucky Derby, great hats and mint juleps. The track officially opened in 1875, and it’s been a Louisville mainstay ever since.
Louisville, by the way, is pronounced by most Kentucky natives thusly: Loo-uh-vull. This city is not pronounced, as Ryan Seacrest seems to think, as Looey-ville. Nor it is called Loo-iss-ville. The s is silent and there’s no long e sound - unless you are a Yankee. Outsiders like to say the state is somehow divided over the pronunciation issue. This is not the case - we’re just good-natured enough to poke a bit of fun at those who are. Say it with me, now - Loo-uh-vull.
But I digress. The show opened not with a Louisville native but a Cincinnati girl named Tiffany Shedd. This bleach blonde wore too much make-up and sang abominably. Her very long exit scene was punctuated with rage. We can’t all be singers.

Liberal Politics and Comics
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,
On a link from the Drudge Report, the website breitbart.com is reporting that in an upcoming issue of “Amazing Spider-man,” President-Elect Obama will be making an appearance. Peter Parker attends the inauguration to take some pictures and while there springs into action as Spider-man and punches out an impostor attempting to pose as Obama. I think it’s The Chameleon from the page posted on the website. This really annoys me!
People are entitled to have their political opinions. If you are a writer or an artist, you are free to incorporate your views into a story if you wish. If you are a liberal, that’s fine. I live in New York, so I have a lot of liberal friends and family members. What pisses me off is that there is no balance when it comes to incorporating politics into comic book stories.

I Confess: I Love Old Teen Idols
I usually shy away from reality projects featuring Scott Baio (not falling for that one again), but I just may have to make an exception for VH1. The network will soon be premiering its brand-new Confessions of a Teen Idol, which features seven former hotties who all share the same mission: grab the brass ring.
You know, again.
They each had their shot at fame and some even spent a little time at the top. But Hollywood is capricious, and soon enough all of these men found themselves on the swift path to being has-beens. But VH1 - and apparently, Scott Baio - thinks they could be shining stars once more. Or at the very least, reality stars. Here’s the funniest part: Baio is part host, part mentor to these would-be famous-again celebs.
I know, it’s a total riot.

American Idol’s New Spin: Go For the Tears!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors,
Every year, someone at FOX gets the idea to slightly (or hell, strongly) tweak the country’s most popular show. One year it’s a difference at Hollywood Week, an emphasis on back story or even the addition of musical instruments. This year, American Idol will be truly fundamentally different for the first time. What can fans expect from the new season?
In addition to a new judge at the table (a shocking casting decision which will dramatically change the chemistry of the show), FOX promises this year’s contestants will be even more “emotional.” If you didn’t get enough tears out of Brooke White last year, this news is sure to please.

Old Hollywood Princess Dethrones Cruise
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Weddings, Editorials,
Lauren Bacall shimmied onscreen in the 1940s, gaining immediate attention for her glamorous look and throaty, sultry voice. She worked with Hollywood’s greatest stars and sexiest leading men. She even married infinite screen hunk Humphrey Bogart, inspiring the jealousy of many a movie going female. She is truly Old Hollywood royalty - and this matriarch isn’t too happy with at least one member of La La Land’s younger (than her) generation. More to the point, she’s got a big problem with Tom Cruise.
“Tom Cruise is a maniac,” Bacall is quoted in a recent Elle magazine article. “I can’t understand the way he conducts his life,” admits the former screen siren. Bacall also talks about Kidman’s split with Cruise, saying the actress was “unhappy” during filming for Dogville (2003).
“Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some (expletive deleted) thing - one of his more ridiculous moves,” she recalls.
Nicole Kidman, always gracious, did not speak harshly of her ex in the article, talking mainly about her “profound” love with country crooner Keith Urban and her belief in the love between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Good thing you believe it, Nicole, because a lot of the public thinks it’s full of hooey. Apparently, screen legend Lauren Bacall thinks it’s simply Tom Cruise who’s full of hooey.

Robert Wagner Spills Old Hollywood’s Secrets
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Robert Wagner is a long-time Hollywood legend, known for multiple movie and television roles. Just as famously, Wagner was known as the husband to child star Natalie Wood - the little girl who charmed the world as cynical, gum-chewing Susan Walker in Miracle on 34th Street. Wagner starred TV shows like It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart.
In his new memoir Pieces of My Heart, Wagner reveals that he enjoyed an affair with another screen goddess. I actually know a good deal about Wagner, Wood and even how Christopher Walken figures into their strange story.

Rogue Pictures Seeking Strangers Sequel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: FOCUS, Universal, Horror, Mystery, Thrillers, Box Office, Casting, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Having domestically grossed $54 with a modest $9 million budget, The Strangers was a tremendous hit for Rogue Pictures. Of course, we all unfortunately know what follows any amount of success in Hollywood these days: sequels.
Hoping that they have a new horror franchise on their hands, producers over at the Universal Pictures subsidary have their greedy hearts set on Liv Tyler‘s return, as well as the rest of the original villains (just admit how much you loved seeing Gemma Ward as the creepy psycho girl).

Shia LaBeouf’s Passenger Isn’t Dating Shia
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Hook-ups, Drunk, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Parties, Rivalries,
By the looks of it, Shia LaBeouf’s DUI charges may not be the last of his problems concerning this accident.
Days have gone by with all of us wondering who was in the passenger’s seat? Well, turns out it’s his Transformers 2 costar Isabel Lucas. The problem is that Lucas isn’t dating Shia—she’s dating Entourage star Adrian Grenier!
Lucas, who has been dating Grenier since February, may be in a bit of a relationship difficulty, considering sources are saying Grenier isn’t happy with the fact that his girlfriend was out partying with her gorgeous costar in the wee hours of the Hollywood morning. When asked to comment on how Lucas was feeling post-crash, Grenier became a bit quick-tempered and refused to comment.
It may have been a slightly bad call on Isabel’s part, seeing as her “friend” has a misdemeanor on his hands for drunk driving.

Young Hollywood’s troubles continue as yet another one is arrested for DUI.

MTV Hills Crew Terrorizes Hollywood Residents
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, News, Rumors,
MTV cannot simply settle for irking television viewers like myself with their silly reality shows. They apparently have to frustrate poor Hollywood resident civilians, too.
Filming their prized “reality” stint, The Hills cast and crew have wreaked havoc among their Hollywood neighbors.
As if the unwanted paparazzi crews are not enough of a nuisance, the filming crew apparently takes up most of the street with their equipment trucks, leaving bright lights shining on the house until late at night when the socialites are not even home!
Not surprisingly, despite these and many more claims, an MTV spokesperson defends the production: “MTV is in accordance with all required production permits, and is working with the city of Los Angeles to assist it with neighborhood concerns that have been raised.”
They sure are good liars over there at MTV.
