LOST

T-minus one hour until the season premiere. (see update below)

I'm glad this is the final season.  It's time to wrap it up and let us in on all the mysteries and twists and turns they've taken us on...especially for those of us that have been loyal watchers since the first episode. Did you watch?  What did you think?

Well, the premiere didn't disappoint in terms of total confusion and dozens of strange surprises.  I don't want to spoil it here for the people that haven't seen it but I have tons of theories about what's happening, especially the Sayid thing... loved that!  Take a look at this site for some interesting theories from different LOST fans.  I'd love to hear your theories... 

52nd Annual Grammy Awards

Watching the Grammy Awards....

- Lady Gaga and Elton John on the piano, very cool!  They each sang parts of each others' songs and their own on two pianos facing each other.  LOVED IT.

Here it is.  Totally grainy but you can hear the two of them together.  Their performance together starts around 3:15.



- Steven Colbert is great but not sure how much I like him as the Grammy Awards host...what did you think?
- I usually love me some Pink but I didn't enjoy her Circ de Soleil performance.  To be honest it made me dizzy.  And what was up with all the water?  She did look amazing though and I give her credit for trying to do something different.
- So enjoy seeing Robert Downey Jr., especially since I got to meet him last month at the Sherlock Holmes premiere.  He was so gracious and nice.  Long story, I'll post about it soon! :-)
- Alice Cooper looked pretty uncomfortable with Katy Perry, especially when she tried to be funny and started touching him.
- Nice rendition of America the Beautiful by the Zack Brown Band.
-Is it just me or was Taylor Swift's voice a little off tonight, especially when she was singing with Stevie Nicks?
- 3D glasses for people at home?  Huh?
- Bon Jovi rocks!  :)

What did you think of the Grammys?

Kimmel Goes After Leno...Again

If you've been following the Leno/Conan/NBC drama, you'll love the following videos.

Yesterday, Oprah interviewed Leno and Jay pretty much blamed everything on NBC and made a couple of subtle digs at Conan and Kimmel.  He took no responsibility for anything he's done including going back on his word about retiring, taking away Conan's spotlight by doing a 10 pm show before Conan's Tonight Show, how his bad ratings dragged down the rest of late night line-up including the Tonight Show and finally how he went after the same show that he'd handed over to Conan and retired from 5 years previously.

I love what Kimmel does here...he's so funny: 

And here's more from Oprah's interview:



I watched the whole interview and thought that Leno came off insincere and in parts untruthful.  What did you think?  Isn't Kimmel hilarious?

Freaking Out Katy Perry

OMG, this made me laugh.  This is what she gets for being so rude on American Idol!

Elizabeth Breaks Free

I didn't want to write about this because I want to keep my posts light but I couldn't help it.  I'm so disgusted with John Edwards.  It's beyond words.

I generally don't have such a visceral reaction when finding out some famous person has cheated on their wife, it happens every day to regular people in every part of the world.  But to cheat on your wife when she has a terminal illness, lie about it repeatedly, try to cover it up behind the scenes with who knows what methods and then drag your poor wife through the entire ordeal publicly for years?  That's simply unforgivable.

There are so many times when he could have done the "right" thing to avoid more pain for this wife and family but each time he chose the coward's way out.

 Here's a video of Elizabeth talking to Oprah about the affair.  It's heartbreaking.  That poor woman.  I'm so glad she has finally decided to leave him!

Oprah Makes Jay Sweat

I can't wait for tomorrow's Oprah!

I have to admit, I'm not a huge Oprah fan but she does have great interviews sometimes and tomorrow will be one of them.  Jay Leno will be on Oprah answering some tough questions including:

"When they asked you to take back the Tonight Show did you think that you were taking away Conan's dream?"
"America has taken sides and a lot of people are not on your side."
"Have you asked yourself, am I being selfish?"
"Do you think you can be number one again?"

I'm really looking forward to hearing how Jay will respond to these.  I'm sure it will be somewhat of a softball interview (is that the expression?) as Oprah seems to be on Jay's side (evidenced by having him on the show in the first place to tell "his side"), but it will still be interesting to see how Jay spins it.  He's probably going to blame it all on NBC.

Here's a Access Hollywood summary of the Jay/Conan thing with the Jay-gets-serious piece from his show last week.




I'm still Team Coco!  Are you curious to hear Jay's side?

American Idol Drama!

I really like Katy Perry so when I heard she was going to be on American Idol, I had to see how she would be with the other judges.  OMG, drama!!! Are you watching?  I only watched a few clips but it was enough to see her cat fight (hate to use this term but it fits, trust me) with Kara Dioguardi.

Take a look at Katy going after Kara:




Here's another clip.  This one is just a crazy audition.  Brace yourself, this is pretty NUTS!  I love what Ryan says at the very end.

Not Bad At 88!

This is my homage to Betty White!

As many of you know, I'm a huge Golden Girls fan and have loved seeing Betty on that show for years.  I had no idea what an amazing career she has had.  She's been acting for 65 years, she started with television itself!  I found out about her long career the other night as I watched her receive the lifetime achievement awards on the Screen Actor's Guild awards.

If you like Betty White or the Golden Girls, you'll enjoy seeing the history of Betty's career.

Skip to about the 3:00 minute mark to see Sandra Bullock's introduction of Betty or you can skip right to the montage of Betty's career which starts at around the 5:18 mark. (They took the video off so I've included a Golden Girls clip montage instead!)

Team Coco

I've always liked Conan O'Brien even though his show was on too late for me to watch. So when I found out what NBC was doing I was definitely on his side. The up side of the NBC debacle has been a lot of hilarious late night bits including this interview with Adam Sandler. (OK, so they've taken the videos down so I can't play it or the last episode of Conan.  Did you see it?  Wow, it was so great.  Conan is a class act.  I just found this great video montage instead!)





What do you think of the Leno/Conan thing? Are you team Coco?
