Who's Next

Now that Dancing With the Stars is featuring actual stars again, it had me thinking. When this season is over and the public is eventually tortured with another season, who will be on. Which useless celebrities and non-celebrities will be on it? My ugly list:

Heidi Montag (if you don't know who she is, Google her. Yuk...)
Miley Cyrus (yuk)
Paris Hilton (yuk)
Britney Spears (yuk)
Lindsay Lohan (yuk)

Yuk...

The World is a Better Place

Kate is gone! Kate is gone! I can watch TV again! So my new idea, if she likes the spotlight so much let's put her on the next season of Survivor and make sure she doesn't get voted off for a while. But let's get her to do gross things like eat elephant testicles or cockroach larvae (is there such a thing?). Bring her kids along too, since she needs to remember to exploit them. Yes folks, all is well in the world. But now, hmmm, who has taken over the throne of most pointless non-celebrity on TV right now? That mistress of Jesse James is a good candidate.....

Puke

So today's news is that the mistresses of Tiger Woods (Michelle "Bombshell" McGee) and Jesse James (Jamie Junger) are now being offered their own reality show. Might as well put the Queen of Skank Kate Gosselin, throw in Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and have as a guest star Paris Hilton. The sick thing is people will actually watch this crap. No wonder America makes me sick.

Boycott

And so begins my boycott of ABC programming until further notice. Kate Gosselin just makes me sick. To each and every one of you who voted for her to stay on the show, you make me sick. To ABC for manipulating the judges to say what they did, and for manipulating the phone lines and voting, you make me sick.

TV makes me so sick right now maybe I'll just give it up altogether. Well, maybe after the hockey playoffs.

Favoritism

Tell me that Dancing With the Stars isn't fixed. Whether it's the voting (9 votes per voting method?) or the totally biased judging on the show, it's become a joke. Tonight almost all of the contestants, even the ones that seemed flawless, got bad marks from the judges and equally bad comments. But for some reason they decided that the Queen of Child Exploitation did a wonderful job even though the dancing was so fake. I am convinced of one of the following:

1) The judging is fixed and the results are planned in advance
2) America is really that stupid to keep Kate Gosselin on the show

Which one is true? The show makes me sick. ABC makes me sick. They might as well put Jon Gosselin on the show next season.

Why oh Why America?

How in the name of all that is sacred could Kate Gosselin still be on Dancing With the Stars? What possessed anybody to vote for her to stay instead of Shannon Doherty and especially Pamela Anderson? Are Americans really that lamebrained that they actually look up to this sorry excuse? She is not a celebrity, and she so obviously was the worse dancer. Even Buzz Aldrin did better than she did. And certainly Pamela Anderon's portrayal of Marilyn Monroe was worthy of a better fate than the bottom two.

But of course America is obsessed with winners such as Kate Gosselin, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears. Yuk. The dancing doesn't even matter. Maybe just have a Basket Weaving With the Stars show.

DWTS

I must admit I quite enjoyed yesterday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, especially seeing the almighty Kate Gosselin stumble through her dance. Even her dance partner was frustrated with her. Why is she on the show again? Did they change the show's title to Dancing With the People Who Have No Right to Be on a Reality Show?

Dancing With the Stars Season 10

Wow, this season of the fake reality show sure has a lot of media whores. We have Les Kwan's favorite person in the world, Kate Gosselin who somehow managed to make it on a show that features CELEBRITIES. Good thing her other show was canceled or right now it would be called "Nobody Plus 8". Thankfully she sucks at dancing so it will be a matter of time. Then we have Jake "I Need 15 More Minutes" Pavelsky, another non-celebrity. Unfortunately he'll probably stay on the show a bit because the dumb Americans will vote for him just because it's him. And of course the Grand Dame of Media Whoreness, Pamela Anderson. Yuk.

As for the people who are actually considered celebrities, how did the DANCER Nicole Sherzinger get on the show? Predictably she will probably get to the final stages. Hopefully she will win because she can actually dance, and not because people with a lot of email addresses vote for her just because she's hot.

Reversal

Isn't it funny how quickly Jake (you know girls, THE BACHELOR) could turn from a really nice guy to the biggest idiot in America? Perhaps the show is fixed, or rather he decided to fix things for himself. Amy told me there were rumors that Jake did the show because he wanted to get into acting and he'd do anything for exposure. I guess picking the worst choice of all the bachelorettes would qualify. Immediately being announced as being on the next season of Dancing With the Stars would certainly affirm that. Ugh, what a disgusting lineup, led by the most disgusting of media whores, Kate Gosselin. How nice she finds time from exploiting her children to be on the show. Jake needs another 15 minutes before he fades into oblivion. Nothing like silly American "reality" shows to pollute our minds.... but then again Nicole Sherzinger is on the show too.

Late Night Wars

There was a time when my blog title would refer to the rivalry between Jay Leno and David Letterman. Back and forth they went, and both developed their fanbase. Now my blog title refers to people from the same station! It looks like Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and even Jimmy Fallon are part of some big fight.

Basically NBC made a huge mistake by moving Jay Leno to primetime. It was an experiment that obviously didn't work. But how do they fix the mistake? Conan was signed as the TONIGHT SHOW host. Now the idea is to start Jay's "new" half-hour show at 11:35pm (as his show once was) and then start the Tonight Show at 12:05AM followed by Jimmy Fallon at 1:05am. That's silly. And poor Carson Daly loses his show altogether. It looks like Conan is going to leave NBC, and he should. Jay Leno is starting to look like the Brett Favre of late night (and that's a negative connotation). Silly people.

Top 5 Worst "Celebrity" Parents of 2009

These are in no particular order and I almost feel guilty giving them more than their 15 minutes of fame but here you go. I'm sure there are other choices.

1) Richard and Mayumi Heene (aka parents of Balloon Boy)
2) Jon and Kate Gosselin (child exploiters)
3) Michael and Dina Lohan
4) Kevin Federline and Britney Spears (special mention to TEENAGE SISTER Jamie Lynn Spears who got herself pregnant twice)
5) Octomom

Dancing With the Stars

One day I'll stop talking about this show, but not right now. Tonight the show proved what a joke it really is. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the performances, especially since Barry and Robin Gibb were on tonight and sang You Should Be Dancing. But tonight once again the show proved how ridiculous the judging is. AMERICA is not voting for the best performances, they are voting for the popular people. As much as I'm a Donny Osmond and even Kelly Osborne fan, there is no way either of them should have gotten through to the finals ahead of Joanna Krupa (even though I really don't like her). But that's the Kevin Skinner America.

Reality?

I've written about this topic on my regular blog before but it is nevertheless one of my biggest pet peeves. It's how these so-called reality TV shows are distorted in order to get ratings.

Take all these talent shows that eliminate contestants week after week until a final winner is crowned. Who stays and who goes is determined by the public show vote to see who they want to stay. But what exactly are they voting on? Are they truly voting on the best performance or are they just voting for the most popular person?

Let's look at the infamous last season of America's Got Talent. Why did Kevin Skinner win? Was he the best singer? Would people pay money to see him in Las Vegas? I believe the answer to both questions is no. But he won because he had a good story. Nobody has heard from him since the show, and I strongly doubt if his show will last. Meanwhile, amazing performances from Barbara Padilla and even the third-place percussion group should have been rewarded.

What about Dancing With the Stars, perhaps the worst example of popularity voting. Does it really matter if they can dance as opposed to if they are popular? Mya is by far the best dancer on the show but will she win? It's hard to say because Donny Osmond, Kelly Osborne and perhaps even Joanna Krupa are more "popular".
