No
it's not the latest Fear Factor copycat show that has us shivering at
our desk. It's the fact that ET has landed the rights to air the Mary
Kay Letourneau wedding. Yes, the teacher that fell in love with a
student and went to jail for him is finally settling down with said
student, now of age and father of her two children. Isn't that sweet?
No, it's really not. It's really disturbing and just shows
Entertainment Tonight's lame attempt at ratings. I prefer my girl
Nancy O'Dell and Access Hollywood myself.

We
like headlines that rhyme but we especially like any good news for
our favorite SNL'er Tina Fey. Today word came that the anchor of
“Weekend Update” is pregnant. She and her husband, SNL composer
Jeff Richmond, are expecting their first child in September. While it
is terrific news and we wish Fey the best, our guess is she won't be
on SNL next year. That will eliminate the one reason to still watch
the show (although Finesse Mitchell and Keenan Thompson are hilarious
when used).

It
sounded like a lame premise. Clark gets his memory wiped out and thus
allows Chloe to figure out the truth about our boy in blue...T-shirt.
But to my surprise the episode was terrific. I was really shocked at
how the show gave fans what they wanted, Chloe finding out about
Clark's powers, then predictably finding a way out of it (another
conveinent memory wipe) and finally the kicker of a closer with Chloe
remembering enough to scare the crap out of Clark. What a ride. The
memory wipes didn't find their way to Lex (for once) and Clark's slip
about his drawings have his bald buddy's evil gears turning. I'm not
quite sure where this leaves Clark and Lana in the dating realm, but
it won't please the now-evil Jason that much I assure you.

There
is an Internet campaign to change the results of
American Idol. We're
not quite sure if
Vote For The Worst is attempting to change the
course of the popular reality show for humor or some higher social
commentary, but their mission is clear: Vote for the worst contestant
every week. For the past few weeks that has been Scott Savol. Scott
received the third highest votes last night, even though he is clearly the
weakest contestant. The smoldering Constantine was sent home after
picking a crappy song Tuesday. Results have fans
pissed off and
we're gussing that's really VFTW's agenda: To mess with fans of the
show. I still think if we got to actually vote off our least favorite
Idol officially, there wouldn't be an issue. A united America against Scott
would surely have him gone.

I
don't think I'll miss Eric next year. Topher's character hasn't grown
a bit on this show (I know, it's just a sitcom) and every week it
seems like the same storyline. Eric is a dumbass, does something to
make up for it, everyone's happy in the end. It is the typical sitcom
plot. The other characters aping the Miss America contest with Fez
and Kelso was pretty funny and is based on the original premise of
the show, making fun of 1970s culture. Having Red mess with the guys'
new place was also priceless.

As
our overseas readers already know, American voters are idiots. I mean
American Idol voters are idiots. Constantine's exit shows how the top
reality show is truly flawed. We should be voting off our least
favorite. That way Scott would have gone home weeks ago. Constantine
faced what others have, voters thought he was safe so they didn't
vote. He also picked a bad song. That doesn't mean he isn't one of
the top three talents on the show. It is painfully obvious that Bo,
Carrie and Constantine are at the top and Anthony, Vonzell and then
Scott are at the bottom. In six months let's see who has a career:
Scott or Constantine. That leads me to the real problem with the male
rock singers on this show.

RSS fans out there have probably noticed a change today. Weblogs
Inc. has added Google Adsense to the RSS feeds so that newsreaders
now display an ad with every post. This allows companies like ours to
make money off the content that is freely run on readers. Instead of allowing only headlines or partial posts in feeds, forcing readers to clickthrough to the full
post, this allows us to offer better coverage (by paying more
bloggers) and maintain the ease of use newsreaders provide. And of
course, Weblogs Inc. is the first publisher to utilize Google Adsense in its RSS feeds.
