Chris Sligh His Own Worst Enemy?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News,
Fans were drawn right away to his wry humor, fun hairstyle, and powerful vocals. So, where did it all go wrong? Should fans blame Simon Cowell, who roundly dissed Sligh’s last performance (just before he was voted off American Idol)? Was it because every song he sang on the Idol stage was a sappy-sweet lovelorn melodrama? Or was it Chris Sligh’s attitude that proved to be the catalyst that ended his American Idol career? Motivational experts seem to think so, though Sligh maintains the elimination is “no big deal.” The singer says his goal was to make the Idol top ten in order to participate in the summer tour. Goal achieved, and then it was time for Sligh to fly. Let’s hope the former Idol contestant adopts a new, much more positive attitude when it comes to his future successes.

Sanjaya Offered KFC for Bowl Hair
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors,
OK, let me start by saying that I really don’t want to add to the discussions about American Idol‘s Sanjaya Malakar and his ever-changing hairstyles. But by golly, I can’t pass this one up. KFC President Gregg Dedrick wrote Sanjaya an open letter that said, in part, “If you don a bowl hairdo during one of your next nationally televised performances, KFC will grant you a free lifetime supply of KFC Famous Bowls. We’re sure America will be as ‘bowled-over’ by your take on this classic look as they are by our KFC Famous Bowls.” Ugh. Seriously? I don’t know what’s more ridiculous—a bowl hairdo or a lifetime supply of KFC Famous Bowls. At least this KFC guy threw in something a little more significant: “If you sport a bowl cut, KFC will cut a check in your name to Colonel’s Scholars, a charity providing young people with much needed college scholarships.” It’s unlikely that Sanjaya will bite at this offer, but if we see him with a bowl cut on an upcoming performance, now you’ll know why.

Idol Voting Makes Tonight A Toss Up
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
No one could have predicted that Chris Sligh would find himself without enough votes to go on, but nothing has been more shocking to American Idol watchers than the perseverance of Sanjaya Malakar. During last night’s performance, Simon Cowell stated that he was going to try a different tactic with the popular contestant, and instead of bashing the kid’s pipes (as he’s routinely done), called the performance “incredible” in a voice filled with sarcasm. The favorite badboy judge of American Idol has publicly stated he will be tempted to leave the show if Malakar wins, a far-fetched idea that seems less impossible all the time. His changing hair styles, his growing showmanship, and his obviously female-oriented fan base could keep Sanjaya safe tonight. Meanwhile, Hayley Scarnato is sticking to her strategy of form-fitting clothing that shows off her best assets – none of which have anything to do with singing. When America votes for the contestants they like to look at, instead of the ones they want to hear, anyone could be going home later tonight.

Trump Keeps His Hair After Wrestling Bet
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Specials, Sports, Cable, NBC, On Demand/PPV, Apprentice, The - Donald, Cable/Satellite,
Did you think this could go down any other way than Trump walking away with a full head of hair? If you weren’t aware of the “Battle of the Billionaires” that went down between Donald Trump and World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon, the two had a wrestling match where the winner would keep their hair intact. Sounds kind of interesting, although neither got in the ring and did the actual fighting—they had representatives handle the “wrestling” for them. In the end, the winner was Trump, who got to shave McMahon’s head. The little stunt didn’t do too shabby either—the pay-per-view event drew mega viewership. The billionaires did manage to get in on the action a little, with Trump taking a few jabs at McMahon and Trump recieving a Stone Cold Stunner from “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. We have to wonder if bald Trump would be better than comb-over Trump though.

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 8: The Girl Who Takes Credit
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, The CW, Features,
Now this episode of ANTM started off a bit creepy. We had the unfortunately opportunity to listen in on a sexually-tinged phone conversation between Natasha and her husband. While we can all speculate as to whether she was an actual mail-order bride, knowing that she was only 18 when she married the 40-year-old is quite unsettling…especially since she didn’t speak any English at the time. But who am I to judge? Natasha told her husband that she was having a hard time at the house because she hadn’t bonded with any of the other girls yet. I’m so confused…I thought Jaslene was the friend-less model? Or was that Renee? Meanwhile, Diana and Whitney continued to bond over their plus-sized figures. As a woman who definitely yearns to see more ‘normal’ sized models out there—I really do appreciate those two contestants. But I do sometimes have to wonder if they have anything else to talk about aside from their weight.

Great American Dream Gets Canned
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Cancellations, Ratings,
Well, that was fast. The Great American Dream Vote started on Tuesday, aired again Wednesday, and got the axe on Thursday. ABC is wasting no time on this waste of TV time, pulling the show from the schedule immediately and putting it “on hiatus.” We all know that’s the kiss of death. Sad when not even the “great” Donny Osmond can keep a crummy show afloat. Well, I say great loosely, but there are plenty of Osmond fans out there. If you were among the droves of viewers repelled by the show, the concept was that the audience would vote to make someone’s dream come true. Ratings were an absolute disaster, which is remarkable for a show that could have held on to the 18 million viewers from the Dancing with the Stars lead-in. Nope, just 5.9 million tuned in on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, that dropped to 4.56 million. Great American Dream—we hardly knew ya.

How President Bush Can Predict the Ending of “I Love New York”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial, Features,
Oh, yeah, I’m going to make this work. Now, if you’re not familiar with the show, “I Love New York” is not a show wherein people from the South express their adoration for the city I call home while secretly hating it and using the term “Yankees” (the people, not the team) as a curse word. No, it’s VH1’s “celebreality” (as they feel the need to call it) show about the search for love by Tiffany Pollard aka New York, the two time runner-up of “Flavor of Love,” the dating show staring rapper/timepiece enthusiast Flava Flav and a whole lot of rejects from your local strip clubs, street corners, and free clinics. New York, who at times has been compared in appearance to a transvestite (in my apartment, anyway), has a gaggle of guys from which to choose, all of whom she has given helpful nicknames like “Pootie” and “12 Pack,” and each week she keeps some and lets the rest go.
At this point in the thrilling competition, our “girl” New York is down to just two dudes, “thuggish” Chance (whose band name is so dumb that I won’t repeat it here for fear of Google forever linking my name and it) and “ninja turtle lookalike” Tango (who, we learned this week, cannot do the tango well, which may mean he’s a fan of Sylvester Stallone when he costars with Kurt Russell). Whom will she choose now, only to be broken up with at the time of the reunion? We’ll all find out in two week when the show reaches it’s probably-not-that-thrilling conclusion.

Heather Mills Wanted Gay Dancing Partner
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Dancing With The Stars,
Oh, Heather Mills… the latest news of the Dancing with the Stars contestant is that she had hoped for a gay dance partner to avoid the media rumor mills about a potential love match. “I said, ‘As long as [my partner’s] gay, great.’ Because I’ve had all these rumors of these different lovers and none of the enjoyment. I haven’t had anybody for 10 months. So I was like you know, ‘Send me someone gay,’” said Mills during her interview last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Well, her partner isn’t gay, but he is married to his regular dance partner, so that should keep the media at bay. Why such a high opinion of herself? From interviews I’ve seen of her and a brief glance at her on Dancing with the Stars, she seems to be milking all of the attention.

ABC Comedy ‘Underbelly’ Delayed
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, FOX, American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, Ratings,
Seems the news that American Idol will extend its results shows has hurt the premiere date of a new ABC comedy, Notes From the Underbelly. The pregnancy sitcom was supposed to begin on April 11th at 9:30 p.m., which would have cleared it from any Idol interference—until they announced that Idol would begin having longer results shows on April 11th. So, Notes from the Underbelly has been bumped to Thursdays, starting April 12, with two back-to-back episodes at 10:00 p.m. Who knows if anyone will tune in that late for a fluff comedy, but the show will get the boost of viewers who may stick around after Grey’s Anatomy. For now, that displaces Men in Trees—no word on when that will return, but if Underbelly sinks, you can bet Men in Trees will be back in its old time slot.
