What ARE They Wearing? — Grammys Edition

As with other award shows, there are always some questionable fashion choices. Here are some of the outfits that made me wonder more than the others. Fun facts about the Grammys: Originally known as the Gramophone Awards, the name soon became Grammys; the Grammy itself is a golden gramophone.…

Wise Words From Erma Bombeck

Anna Nicole Smith died yesterday at the young age of 39. I dedicate this post to her. Before her death in 1996, American humorist Erma Bombeck made a list entitled If I Had My Life To Live Over. My mother mailed me a copy a few years ago and I …

R.I.P. Anna Nicole Smith (1967-2007)

Anna Nicole Smith is dead! Holy crap! Can it really be? The world will never be the same. Perhaps I’ve watched too many Soap Operas over the years, or maybe I’m just oddly overly creative, but I’m guessing there’s more to this than we think.…

Shrek The Third Movie Trailer

So I’m watching American Idol — the best of the worst episode — and just saw an ad for the new Shrek movie, Shrek The Third. It looks pretty funny. Donkey and his dragon wife have flying donkey babies. And Puss is along for the ride too.…

Super Bowl XLI Commercial Round-Up

I realize it’s two days after the Super Bowl, but I was really busy yesterday. Please don’t hold it against me. I don’t know about you, but I thought the commercials were pretty darn boring this year. Aside from the Kevin Federline one, of course.…

Prince’s Purple Rain Super Bowl

The game isn’t over. As of now, it’s 29 – 17, Colts leading, with just over 5 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. The commercials this year didn’t impress me much. I’ll write about those later. Here are some pictures of Prince during the Pepsi halftime show.…

Michael Jackson’s Kids — Unmasked!!

Usually when Michael Jackson’s three children go out in public, their faces are covered. But not in Las Vegas yesterday! First up: Prince Michael (the first) and Paris; their mother is Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Man, I wonder what’s going through her mind these days.…

Super Bowl Commercials

Super Bowl XLI is this coming Sunday, February 4th, 2007. I don’t care about the game. I don’t know anything about the teams that are in it (the Colts and the Bears). But I enjoy the commercials, and am really looking forward to them this year.…

The Police Will Reunite For The 2007 Grammy Awards

I’m so excited about this bit of news. The Recording Academy has announced that The Police will perform together at the Grammys this year – 23 years after breaking up due to conflict within the band. Best known for hits like “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take,” The Police are …

2007 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Last night was the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Nothing too exciting this year; in fact, I found the end to be fairly anti-climatic with Annette Benning simply saying, “Goodnight.” The two things that made my jaw drop the most were when Eddie Murphy thanked Tracey Edmonds for, “making …

NPR Oscar Speech Contest

UPDATE: Winning speeches were selected on February 22, 2007. …so many worthy entries that picking just one winner seemed as churlish as Judi Dench’s role in Notes on a Scandal. So the staff at NPR.org picked five winners, along with a few runners-up, and recorded them reading their entries.…
