What is up wid the Britney Spears hater-aid Brig?
I mean c'mon... you mean to tell me you've never married a man then had it annuled like 3 days later only to marry another man that left his wife while she was preggers with his second child *breath* pop out two kids then divorce his ass... drive around in an SUV with your baby on your lap... shave your head then slap your momma with a restraining order to keep her from own grandchildren???
Let she who is without skankyness cast the first stone!
As to the Kristen Bell / Lost thread... Lost sort of 'Lost me' when they killed off Maggie Grace and Michelle Rodriquez (what part of I'm a big horny guy are we not getting here?) so not adding Kristen Bell just gives me another reason to watch Medium instead.
Lastly... I kinda sorta remember our junior high putting on some musical based on Charlie Brown and Peanuts... so Family Guy might not be such a streatch.
Let she who is without

You know for a fact that if MTV really did booked Spears on VMA, it's for the freakshow factor. It's not mean. She made herself that way. Perhaps she enjoys being the center of attention, good or bad. True or not, I lost interest in MTV when they stopped focusing on music, instead choosing to air "Sucker-free" reality shows.
It's too bad Bell turned down the role in LOST. But maybe she did the right thing. Seems a lot of LOST actors have had more than their share of run-ins with the Big Kahuna and the rest of Hawaii Five-Os.
I disagree on taking out Juliet. I like her. She's a mysterious wildcard that helps stirs things. Same for Locke in earlier episodes ands recent ones.

Of course it's for the freak show factor.
Of course it's well-earned.
Of course she's going to take it all the way to the bank.
Fame-mongers regard all news as good news whenever they're in it.

Hope you feel better tomorrow, hon! Of course, you once again are leaving us hanging! If you're not going to tell us WHY this was your "worst day ever"... why mention it? It positively drives me nuts when you introduce a subject and then abandon it after one sentence, only to go onto something else.

It is hard to write something comforting when I don't know what is wrong, but I'll try. Depending on your time zone the worst day ever will end in 6 hours. Then it's in the past and things should get better. How about,"It is always darkest before the dawn"? "What doesn't destroy you makes you stronger"? Sorry, I've got nothing.
Worst day ever and you are still posting? That's dedication. I have a cold and phoned in sick last night.
You make funny, clever videos, and provide me with a smile or two every time I watch. I sincerely hope things look up for you in the future.

Did the Amy Winehouse thing bum you out too? I know, I too was shocked. Amy Winehouse…on drugs…how could this be? It ruined my day too
:)
Anyway, the reason for this post, I did see Family Guy live a couple years ago which I think (at least according to this article: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117970158.html?categoryid=14&cs=1) is the same thing they are doing now. It was fun though not really as entertaining as one might think it would be. To me, the reading was just sort of a pre-cursor to the Q&A and the episode showing (which at the time was the first new episode in several years).
The singing kind of caught me by surprise…wasn’t expecting that when I walked in the door. It wasn’t bad though. The songs are kind of heavy on the shock value but not unpleasant to listen to (the soundtrack is available on Amazon now)
Anyway, I wasn’t really a fan of the show at the time so I’m not sure I got as much out of it as a real fan would have but it was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours
Btw – On the topic of Broadway, though there have been some cheesy shows in the past, I’m not sure there’s ever been anything as bad as Nikki and Paulo on Broadway. Just in its defense.

1. Brit... never mind.
2. Queue's to die for--hmm. The queue for tickets to Brigitte's first live show? Yeah, I can see that one as SOLD OUT, for sure.
3. If the "worst day ever" is career-related, see #2 above. Relax!
4. If it's not career-related, our thoughts are with you.

I did go to a family guy live event in Los Angeles way back when; this was part of their season 4 comeback promo campaign. I must say that it was indeed entertaining.
The actors (and a couple of writers) just sat in chairs on stage. They provid live vocals to the "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" episode (played in entirety). I recall them actually singing some songs from their, then, upcoming music CD. They also played a the first act of the season four premiere. And finally capped the night off with q&a from the audience.
I'm not sure how the show has evolved since then, but I'd imagine a very similar format since I don't really picture most of the cast prancing around as though they were in a real Broadway show-- go go K. Bell.
