One Life to Live

For most people who watch soap operas, the shows you follow are sort of like religion: you are usually exposed by a parent when you are young and you usually go through a period in your life (or several, for that matter) when you lose your faith. When I was a child, my mother (the most interesting person I know, by the way) watched and . And so I started watching those two soaps. In fact I remember some summers when I was 11 or 12 where my whole day centered around catching the latest news from Llanview or Port Charles. (This is a fact I find extremely disturbing now that I am an adult and parent of two small daughters.)

Idol Gives Back Celebrity Guests Announced

Idol Gives Back will continue it’s self-serving humanitarian efforts with another star-studded event this year. I gotta tell you, I watched every minute of the charitable broadcast last year and the only thing I was impressed with was Jack Black. During the Thursday elimination show, Ryan Seacrest started to rattle off the big names which will be associated with the big event this year.

As the crowd screamed and Seacrest cheekily grinned, he spit out attention-grabbing names like Brad Pitt, , Reese Witherspoon, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry. He slipped Snoop Dogg in there, too, and that’s when I started screaming. Love the Dogg. Love him. Now, I have a reason to watch the event. Thanks, Snoop.

Believe me, the list of names will only get longer and longer as the Idol Gives Back date of April 9 draws near. They’ll over-promote it the point that we’ll all get sick, and then they’ll do the show and suck a good two hours of TV time out of it. It sounds tedious, I know…but don’t forget, Snoop will be there. He brings a certain cool cachet Idol couldn’t hope to achieve otherwise. Way to luck out, .

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Cable, Gossip

Snoop Dogg paved the way for musicians as stars, but so far there have been few successes for rich recording families. Many have tried, but few have matched the ratings success of this first musical family. E! hopes to change all that with their new series, .

The series will feature Snoop himself, of course, along with wife Shante and their three kids aged 7, 9 and 11.  The artist’s life will include all sorts of tidbits from the recording industry as the rapper is currently poised to release his new album, Ego Trippin’, in a matter of days.  But with Father Hood, it’s what viewers won’t see that will be interesting.  Surprisingly, this show isn’t going to be about gangsta living and chasing tail; audiences will get a rare look at Dogg in his California hills home as a family man.

Will Lindsay Lohan Appear on ‘Ugly Betty’?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Rumors

DescriptionAlthough she’s only been in America for a few months, has already managed to start a new celebrity trend:  Ugly Betty appearances.  After the Spice Girl’s stint on tonight’s show, fans can expect to see a cameo from this Dec. 13th.  Now it’s being rumored Miss may be soon guesting on three episodes as well.

While I really wouldn’t want a Lohan appearance to overshadow a great show, I would be willing to overlook my feelings for her in this once instance.  Assuming the TV Guide buzz is true, Lindsay may be cast as a former high school classmate of Betty’s.  She would also be the manager of a fast-food restaurant.

Now if that doesn’t scream Lindsay…..well, then it screams K-Fed.  Either way, I’d be watching.
