Jason booted off AI

He should have laid off the ganja.

Although, who knows. It doesn't really look like pot smoke in the infamous picture (which I won't post here but you can see it here.

I liked Jason - what a great smile. In fact, I'm going to grab my review of American Idol from the Habesha Child blog and post it here, it was that clever long and I'm that lazy:



David Cook? Needs a bath and a shave. Plus I DO NOT find him original. AT ALL. Waste of space. He needs to shut up.

David Archuleta? He’s a mere puppy. He sings like he still needs to hit puberty. Plus, I could not listen to a whole CD of him breathing his way through one ballad after another. Waste of space. *yawn*

Syesha? Good voice but not great. I find her the least offensive of the bunch. Plus, I LOVED that orange dress she wore Tuesday night. LOVE. IT.

Jason? He was very nice to look at - beautiful, infectious smile. I think he was happy to go, though. He had a nice but not very powerful voice. Not enough range, I’m afraid. He should talk to Whoopie’s stylist about trimming the dreds.

Overall, this season of AI is a snorefest. After the departures of Michael Johns and then Brooke White, I just couldn’t be arsed to watch.

The finale will be about as thrilling as the one where Taylor Hicks won.

SOUL PATROL!! my bleedin' foot!

What a week!

I've been devastated twice this week.

Because of this:

Claire was booted from ANTM













And because of this:

Michael Johns was booted from AI



WTF??

It's Armageddon, I tell you. Armageddon!

You go girl!!

Sheesh, I must be the world's biggest sap.

I just saw Amy Winehouse performing on the Grammys (live via satellite from London) and at the end of the performance I was bawling like a baby.

She not only sounded great, but she looked great (I read she went to the dentist yesterday and had a crown fitted so she's lost that gap-toothed crack addict look). Other than being painfully thin, she looked healthy and made some great, playful eye contact with the camera.

It was at the end when she said thanks and that she was honored to be able to perform, that I started crying. I just wish her all the best and I hope she can successfully overcome her drug problems. I think she is an extremely talented young woman.

p.s. Tina Turner can STILL ROCK IT!! She looks a bit like my mom 10-15 years ago (if she was into the rock and roll).

p.p.s. I LOVE Andy Williams. How great to see him tonight!

Chocolate - the new crack

The perfect Valentine's chocolate. Or maybe not.



I honestly don't understand this product. Why is it here? Who's idea was it? I know that chocolate can be as addictive as crack, but this is just silly.

Can you imagine biting into one of these bad boys?

Not I. And I love chocolate.



...........It's Belgian chocolate you say?

Hmmmm...

Guilty pleasure, this

I can't stop laughing at this video. I feel sorry for the model, but...DAYUM, that's funny!



And the reaction in the newsroom is hilarious:

"Patchwork! Snatchwork!"


Colin and Justin's Home Heist

Does anyone watch this show? It's my favorite of shows from the fabulous boys yet! There are some fantastic one-liners - especially during the first few mintues as they walk through the homeowner's house for the first time, criticizing each room.

Tonight's episode ("Clutter Nutter") had me loudly guffawing quite a lot - especially with these two lines:

"This isn't a kitchen...it's bitchin'"

"Patchwork! Snatchwork!"


You probably had to see it...
