LOS ANGELES (AP) — Backstage meddling has caught up “American Idol” favorite David Archuleta’s dad, who’s been banned from rehearsals, a person working for the TV talent contest said Friday.
Jeff Archuleta was told this week by producers that he can no longer join 17-year-old son as David as he prepares for the show, the [...]

I received this in my email today. Apparently one of my relatives died in a plane crash ten years ago, but I do not know their name. Heck, I didn’t even know I had a relative who had ever been to Africa, coming from a long line of poor white trash as I [...]

Life Experience High School Diploma
Now, this is interesting. An online “high school” calling itself “Belford High School” lets you get your high school diploma in just a few minutes’ time. You can do this one of two ways:
1. By taking a test in language arts (26 questions), math (20 questions), science (15 questions), and social [...]

[This is an article I wrote on June 11, 2007, while Paris Hilton was incarcerated for violation of probation stemming from an original charge of DUI --ENM]
I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m just about sick and tired of hearing about poor little rich girl Paris Hilton. Paris, of course, is [...]

Back in the ’70s, there was a lot of controversy about alleged backward masking (i.e., subliminal messaging) in rock music. Parents were absolutely freaking out over it, and forbidding their children to listen to rock music. It should surprise no one to discover that I was one of the kids back then [...]

Tonight, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be liveblogging American Idol.
I know, I can feel your sorrow from here.
My laptop is kaput until I get a new power cord, because one of my dogs chewed partially through it a while back (luckily he didn’t get electrocuted, because it was plugged [...]

It’s Mariah Carey night. I’m not real sure how this is going to work out, but it could turn out to be the worst episode of American Idol ever.
Randy is looking for identity, though the judges regularly tell the contestants to not do songs from such well-known singers. For that reason, having a [...]

I got this “Top Ten Random Things About Me” meme from my friend Dee at The Dee Zone:
10.   I will go days without eating anything, if I am home alone.  The reason for this is that I never feel hunger, even when I obviously am hungry.
9.     Alarm clocks do not wake me up.  I sleep [...]

I previously wrote about the Duct Tape Bandit - by far, one of the most amusing criminals ever - and have an update. (I still think he should have used “masking” tape instead, hehehe.)
Not at all surprisingly, he (real name Kasey Kazee) was required to undergo psychiatric testing, to determine whether he is competent [...]

It’s Dolly Parton night. While most people would assume that I’d be unhappy with that, since I’m an Alice In Chains / Grand Funk Railroad kinda gal, they’d be wrong. I grew up listening to Dolly Parton on my grandfather’s ever-present handheld transistor radio on the porch, and I think she’s a wonderful [...]

A jury in the Bahamas, after hearing testimony in an Inquest regarding the cause and manner of death of 20-year-old Daniel Smith, son of Anna Nicole Smith, has determined that the young man died from an accidental drug overdose. The seven-member jury deliberated for two hours, after weeks of testimony spread out over [...]

Ah, an article after my own heart. Regular readers are aware of how much I love the bad American Idol auditions, and Entertainment Weekly must have read my mind, because it has made a list of the Top Ten worst appearances by American Idol contestants. These aren’t the auditions, folks. These are [...]

…. that Paris Hilton would take some dancing lessons.  I have seen a number of videos of Paris “dancing”, and if I “danced” as badly as she does, I’d be too embarrassed to even dance in my house alone.
Here, a contestant on “Miss Turkey” invites Paris onto the stage during her belly dance.  What a [...]

I just finished appearing on “Live From Court Street with Jason and Cilla” - what a blast!
We talked about American Idol, and politics. We even talked about immigration for a minute or two.
Jason and Cilla are very nice folks, and they’re doing a great job with their show despite the technical problems they ran [...]

The show [...]

Tonight is the first night for the Top Ten. For those of you who don’t normally follow this crap competition, the Top Ten go on tour together during the summer, so they all make some major moolah simply for having gotten this far.
To refresh your memory, last week Amanda “Vampira” Overmyer was eliminated. [...]

From Scientific American:
Are smarter people drawn to music, theater and dance? Or does arts training in childhood change the brain in positive ways? In 2004, the philanthropic Dana Foundation created a consortium of neuroscientists from seven universities to address those questions. On March 4, the group released a report, Learning, Arts, and the [...]

Unlike most mainstream presidential candidates, God The Great Holy [...]

I previously posted that I would be on “Live From Court Street with Jason and Cilla” this afternoon, discussing American Idol and politics.
However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they were not able to have a show today, so it has been rescheduled to next Saturday, March 29th, at 6:30 (the show starts at 5:30).
I’ll [...]

It’s Beatles night. Again.
I guess that explains why Randy Jackson was yawning when Ryan went to introduce him. That’s never a good sign. Then he plugged Paula’s new song by working it into a comment. How corny.
As usual, I’ll just type what I’m thinking. I do not go back [...]

Just to give everyone a head’s up, I’m going to be on the cool new “Live From Court Street with Jason and Cilla” this Saturday, March 22nd.
The show starts at 5:30, I’ll be on around 6:30. You probably want to listen in early, though, because their first guest is a former WWE Ring Announcer. [...]

While looking for an update on the scheduled autopsy of Guy Thomas, who was dragged underneath a police cruiser for over half a mile, I’ve run across some very strange stuff. Of course, I was already aware of some very strange goings on in that area, and not only the cop claiming he didn’t [...]

I decided to liveblog American Idol again, since this is the first day with all of the top 12 performing. As previously stated, this is mostly what I am thinking as I watch the show. If you were sitting in my family room, this is what I would be saying to you as [...]

Pretty funny stuff, got this from ElfNinosUncle.
This guy is a heathen, bless his heart, but he has a good sense for the oddly humorous. I also find Tom Cruise to be the strangest aspect of Scientology, even given that their religion was made up by a diagnosed schizophrenic pulp science fiction author who pointed [...]

While again looking for updates on the man who was killed by getting hit by a cop car which then dragged him for over half a mile (that’s been updated this afternoon, incidentally, so if you haven’t seen the update, click on the link in this post) I found this interesting albeit weird story on [...]

MSNBC is reporting that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the former Attorney General of that state, has admitted to being involved in a prostitution ring.
I guess he can’t claim he didn’t know it was a crime, LOL.
While I’ll admit that the news is giggle-worthy, and will probably produce a lot of good jokes for The [...]

Tonight is ’80s night, and the girls perform. I’ll just type in my thoughts as I watch. You may not feel like you’re there, but at least you’ll feel like you’re here, inside my head. That alone should scare you. I know it scares the hell out of me.

While I admit that I haven’t been watching closely, I have been watching some controversial American Idol issues which have made the news.
First, Carly Smithson (the tattooed girl from Ireland) actually had a recording contract with MCA, at the same time as American Idol judge Randy Jackson was working there.
Can you say “plant”?
Second, finalist David [...]

I just had to put that headline on this one. Apparently every time Steve-O gets arrested, what he did wrong somehow involves public urination. Maybe our tattooed little man is finally growing up, and turning to grownup crime. *sniff*

Steve-O, the stuntmeister of the MTV series “Jackass,” was arrested Monday for vandalism and [...]
