American Gladiators, Rocket and Jet

MONDAY (5/12)
Tonight’s finales: The Hills, Medium, Samantha Who?, The Bachelor

  • American Gladiators (NBC, 8pm):  Season Two premiere includes new gladiators (‘Rocket’ and ‘Jet’).  Seriously, how intimidating could a smiling Gladiator be?
  • Bones (FOX, 8pm):  “When the body of an aspiring singer (Ace Young of ) is discovered, Booth and Brennan probe a club’s open-mike night.”  Uhh—which one was Ace again?
  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  “An embarrassed Serena resurrects some troubling old habits as she continues to hide the truth from Dan.”  If he only knew she’d been sharing her jeans with three other girls.
  • How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm):  “Britney Spears returns as Abby, who is now dating Barney.”  First Robin Sparkles, now Britney.  I’m not sure if that’s a step up or down for Barney.

Queen Says: American Idol Is Fake!

Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Music, Reality, FOX, American Idol, News

Queen American IdolThe highlight of this week’s American Idol was the apparent friction between teen heartthrob Ace Young and Queen member Brian May. The friction appeared so confrontational, in fact, that many viewers let Brian May know of their displeasure. And now Brian May is letting the world know that he’s not gonna take it any more.

Brian wrote in his personal blog that the apparent Ace-hatred never happened the way it was shown - it was a result of ‘creative editing.’ He criticizes the way American Idol producers seize anything the least bit negative and blow it out of proportion…while apparently enjoying their evil deeds. Brian also stressed that he and Ace got along great, and that Ace did an excellent job with the song.

Gee, who would have ever guessed that reality TV isn’t…real?

American Idol 5:  Lisa Is All Tuckered Out

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Talent

Lisa Tucker EliminatedWell after my umpteenth try I finally got it right:  Lisa Tucker was voted out just like I had predicted.  But what did surprise me was that Katharine McPhee was in the Bottom Three!!  I already knew that Ace would be there.  Simon was impressed by her singing yesterday, but apparently changed his opinion upon further review.  He told Katherine that her performance wasn’t nearly as good as Aguilera’s.  Hmm… I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before.  Oh that’s right.  That’s because I said it!
