Slippery Stage: David Cook’s Got it Bad
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video,
American Idol 7 winner David Cook was in the midst of an upbeat rendition of “Hot for Teacher” when he took a bit of a tumble (view it at around 2 minutes into the above video). But though the Idol alum fell quite noticeably, he got right back up without missing a beat.
And Cook’s small mini-tumble still isn’t nearly so bad as Joaquin Phoenix’s fall off the stage.

Joaquin Phoenix Not All There for Letterman
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Reality, Talk Shows, CBS, Video,
Actor-turned-rapper-turned-media-joke Joaquin Phoenix appeared on David Letterman’s late show last night, ostensibly to tout his new (and supposedly last) film Two Lovers. But if Letterman expected an actor who wanted to promote a film, he was in for a bit of a surprise.
True to form, the late night King handled himself with considerable aplomb as Phoenix remained uncommunicative and mumbled into his sizable (and unkempt) beard. “You look different than I remember you,” David Letterman quipped early, eliciting hardly a spark of response from the actor.

President Barack Obama Calls for Support
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, Video,
Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, held a press conference Monday night. He led the evening with a speech and he primarily wanted to talk about his stimulus package, which is his answer to the current economic crisis. The commander in chief called for support from the Senate and House, who are currently divided on the package. He addressed criticism for the package and openly talked of his plans. But President Obama seemed ill-prepared to talk about anything else.
The President neatly changed topics when asked about a comment made by Vice President Joe Biden and remained somewhat cagey when asked about his foreign policy regarding Iran. He stayed on topic and on point when it came to the country’s current economic crisis, which seems to be his current focus.

American Idol 8: Group Night in Hollywood
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol is and always has been a solo singing content, made for one star to rise above the others in winning celebration. But for just one night in Hollywood, they have to come together to make beautiful music….or, fall flat on their faces.
Seeing who will fly and who will fail is all part of the excitement. For us, anyway. For many of the contestants, group night is a total nightmare of nerves and tension.
Some, like Tatiana Del Toro, have difficulty even finding and forming a group. Others, like Danny Gokey and Jamar Rogers, manage to find perfect harmony.

Jennifer Hudson Shines at Super Bowl
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Specials, Sports, Video,
Jennifer Hudson recently disappeared from the limelight after the tragic events surrounding her family occurred. Though she appeared in ads, she has not appeared in public since the headlines hit. But last night Hudson returned to center stage and the public eye in a big way. Hudson’s stirring performance of the National Anthem was at once powerful, prideful and heartbreaking - and her star is still definitely on the rise.

Making the Band…without Danity Kane?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Video,
During last season’s finale of Making with the Band 4, Diddy surprised everyone following Danity Kane by making two shocking decisions. (Okay - we could have probably seen the first one coming.) Even before layoffs had become the norm, the girl group’s producer axed Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods after a very uncomfortable meeting. (You can relive that moment after the jump.)

The Super Bowl Commercial NBC Won’t Let You See
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, NBC, Commercials, Video,
WARNING: The racy content may be considered offensive to some…
Had this commercial featured Victoria’s Secret-esque models holding bottles of beer, I suspect NBC wouldn’t have had a problem with it. But the “bottles” are actually stalks of broccoli and the organization involved is PETA, not Budweiser. So what does that mean? The execs have surprisingly decided to raise the “standards” flag. (You can question the network’s taste in quality programming all you like.)
After watching “Veggie Love,” tell us what you think. Was NBC smart in plugging the Super Bowl ad’s plug…or have we already seen worse?

American Idol 8: The Joanna Pacitti Controversy
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
Pretty, dark-haired Joanna Pacitti arrived at her audition to American Idol 8 with plenty of experience and her own loyal fan base. In fact, Pacitti was already known to one judge on the panel. Her beautiful voice won her a ticket to Hollywood - and perhaps, a chance to win the world’s biggest reality competition. Some Idol fans, however, say that Pacitti is already far too pro for the show whose purpose is to find undiscovered singers.
David Cook had his own album before he joined (and subsequently won) Idol. Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson had both once been signed to record labels. But Joanna Pacitti’s resume is even more impressive - and fairly extensive.

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.

American Idol 8: San Francisco Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
An American Idol winner, thus far, has never come out of the San Fransisco auditions, though runner-up Katharine McPhee (season 5) first auditioned here.
Will this be the year that an Idol is found in the city by the bay? Some of the auditions were promising…others were barely tolerable.
The evening kicked off with Tatiana Del Toro of the beautiful accent - which, evidently, she can turn on and off at will. She was a lovely girl in a terrible dress with a super-annoying giggle, but she showed up to her audition already predestined to succeed. Her psychic friend predicted that Del Toro would make it all the way to the Top 12. I also, once had a psychic friend, but had to give her up on account of the phone bills. At any rate, Del Toro pleaded with the judges and eventually won her way to Hollywood. Cowell found her “so dramatic,” but Randy Jackson was a little more positive in his remarks, saying he voted yes “because you are wild, and I like it.” She’s also a little too savvy for Idol viewers - the girl showed up with her press kit.
