BET Awards to Honor Jackson This Weekend

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Video


Later this weekend, a large pre-arranged gathering will have the opportunity to public mourn Michael Jackson’s death.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the June 28th broadcast of the 2009 BET Awards will be devoted to the musical icon. Producer Stephen Hill reports a high interest from the participants to honor their idol. “I think what you’re going to find is that acceptance speeches for awards will have nothing to do about the artists themselves, but about the influence that Michael Jackson had on them,” Hill said.

American Idol 8: Top 5 Results

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip

The eighth season of is winding down, which means the competition is heating up. “I have your results!” Ryan Seacrest promised at the top of the hour, touting 47 million votes and an evening filled with drama.

“Everybody was good,” said of the preceding performance round, which occurred the night before the results show.

The same could not be said of the terrible Ford music video, which was again marked by bad choreography and poor cinematography. The Top 5 then performed a medley of “I Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Got Rhythm.” I still didn’t get to hear “Swingin’ on a Star.” The Top 5 group performance was, in a word, awful. It was boring, the song choices were bad and the choreography was decidedly lackluster after last week’s highly entertaining performance.

The Idol contestant clip of the week showed the Top 5 in the kitchen, who attempted to make birthday cakes for celebrants Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey. A horrendous mess ensued. then gave Gokey a gift - a bill from Best Bets Maid Service, LLC. They charged $6,000 for the disaster in the kitchen. “You mean American Idol doesn’t take care of that?” Danny quipped.

American Idol 8 Top 5

The Top 5 performance night of 8 was all about the Rat Pack - that collection of music from five friends which will live on in the memories of all those who enjoyed Big Band classics. Naturally, I expected this round to be very, very boring indeed.

The Idols certainly looked the part when they stepped out onstage, the men wearing suits and Allison Iraheta in a very age-appropriate dress. The “mystery” mentor for this week was Oscar winner and successful recording artist . His clip showed him to be incredibly charming during his first meeting with the contestants.

Damon Wayans Returns to TV

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC

Damon WayansRemember when the Wayans brothers were a force to be reckoned with? I’m not sure what Marlon, Shawn or Keenen Ivory are up to these days, but Damon is giving TV another go. And he hasn’t been away for long, seeing as his popular show My Wife and Kids, which premiered in 2001, just ended in 2005. He’s coming back to ABC and has another pilot in the works. Of course, you can expect laughs from Wayans (that’s what he does best), but there will be a little sorrow too—he plays a widower who has to look after his estranged teenage stepson. Again, he’ll be playing the dad and this show will feature multiple cameras versus the single camera comedies of late. Wayans doesn’t seem to be fading from the spotlight anytime soon—after My Wife and Kids, he also exec produced a Showtime series called The Underground. Is anyone else hoping for the In Living Color reunion? How great would it be to get the Wayans family, David Alan Grier, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson and Jim Carrey together again?

The 2007 Academy Awards: Live Commentary

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Specials, ABC, Editorial, Features

Academy Award Welcome to our live coverage of the 79th Annual Academy Awards!  During our live-blog of the 2006 Oscars, I made what may now be considered an eerie prediction about Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe:

“For some reason, I keep getting this nagging feeling that their relationship will dissolve sometime soon, but that discussion is for another post.”

I’d like to say that I’m psychic (if so, that Oscars pool at work is all mine)...but I’m going to have to chalk it up to nagging intuition.  What is that little voice inside me saying this year?  While some races may have been locked up months ago (I’m talking to you, Helen Mirren), there will be a shocker this year.  I can’t pinpoint the category, but I think it will be come riding in on a big yellow bus…

To find out who will be going hog-wild tonight during the Year of the Pig, stay tuned here for the live results!
