			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night, as you may or may not have noticed, NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; ran a repeat instead of, well, a fresh show, actually supposed to be its first-run show since its star, Mr. Conan O&#8217;Brien, smacked his head against something hard (I&#8217;m guessing, which is about all we can do at the moment) while attempting a stunt during the show&#8217;s taping. </p>
<p>How fun.<br />
<span id="more-1020"></span></p>
<p>As of now, no real information has been released as to what this hard object might be, exactly where this may have taken place (Los Angeles somewhere), and exactly what condition our beloved late night Irish comedian might be. </p>
<p>(It&#8217;s Hollywood. Does that really surprise you?)</p>
<p>What information has been released, however, was reported by <em><a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/26/injury-to-conan-obrien-forces-tonight-show-rerun/?hp">The New York Times</a></em>. That information is simply that O&#8217;Brien was not able to finish the show and was taken away for medical attention, obviously to a nearby hospital. </p>
<p>The statement released by NBC, and as reported by the <em>Times</em>, again, was that O&#8217;Brien &#8220;hit his head doing a stunt and the show was not finished.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whoa. Now <em>that</em> says a lot. Thank you NBC. My fears have all been pushed away now. I think I&#8217;ll let out a huge sigh of relief after all that information. Ahhhhh&#8230;</p>
<p>As far as any other details go, that&#8217;s about all you&#8217;re going to get at this very minute, sadly. Though I&#8217;m 110 percent positive some real information will be surfacing shortly. It&#8217;s about Conan O&#8217;Brien for God&#8217;s sake. The media are just dragging this out, as they always do, to generate more interest. </p>
<p>Woo.</p>
<p>Wait..! This just in! As reported by the Associated Press: NBC also released a statement attributed to Mr. O’Brien, which said, &#8220;Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Better? I didn&#8217;t think so. But before you go searching for things on Google like &#8220;Conan O&#8217;Brien hits head,&#8221; &#8220;Conan O&#8217;Brien hospital&#8221; or my personal favorite, &#8220;Conan O&#8217;Brien dead&#8221; (yeah, some people&#8230;), just give it another hour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always found Sir Simon Cowell&#8217;s comments to be harsh, but often true. This time, however, I think the brutish Brit&#8217;s gone a tad too far. It was five years ago, actually, that Simon spoke the words that would change a young woman&#8217;s life &#8212; and body &#8212; forever.<br />
<span id="more-976"></span></p>
<p>During an audition for the &#8220;U.K&#8217;s largest talent search,&#8221; according to its <a href="http://xfactor.itv.com/2009/">Web site</a>, known as X Factor, Cowell told then 18-year-old Katrina Lee, &#8220;I just wish I could put your voice in another body.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apparently the young girl just wasn&#8217;t pretty enough for Mr. Cowell&#8217;s tastes. Blonde, green eyes, a well proportioned face and body&#8230; What&#8217;s so wrong with that? I mean, the girl was certainly no Susan Boyle, and no offense to Ms. Boyle.</p>
<p>Lee was so upset by Cowell&#8217;s stinging comment that she took action; serious, immediate action. Simon said, and Ms. Katrina Lee did, exactly what he asked. She changed her entire body. </p>
<p>As reported by <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1210960/X-Factor-contestant-spent-thousands-surgery-Simon-Cowell-criticised-looks.html">Mail Online</a>, the now 23-year-old Lee had laser surgery on her face, liposuction, dental work and hired a personal trainer to lose weight so she could again try out for the show this year. She also went from bleach blonde to bright red. </p>
<p>This time &#8217;round, Cowell told Lee she was a &#8220;good-looking girl.&#8221; (I personally think she looked better before.)</p>
<p>In case it hasn&#8217;t hit you like a bulldozer by now, the point I&#8217;m trying to make here is how sad it is that the media, essentially, have such an impact on our lives. A single comment from the oh-so-perfect Mr. Simon Cowell meant dangerous and drastic surgery for one young woman, a desperate attempt at looking &#8220;better&#8221; in his eyes. </p>
<p>Who cares about Simon Cowell&#8217;s perspective on beauty? Has anyone taken a look at the women he&#8217;s dated? C&#8217;mon. Seriously! </p>
<p>To me, this story is plain sad and in fact embarrassing to me. No person should have to change their face to fit someone else&#8217;s perception of beauty. And certainly not Simon Cowell&#8217;s. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re all familiar with Ryan Jenkins, at least the name rings a bell as we now associate it with things like a model wife, body parts chopped to pieces, body parts stuffed into a suitcase&#8230;and overall just cold blooded murder in the first degree. (The grotesque removal of body parts should have given up the first degree part, but just in case, thought I&#8217;d make sure you got that part).</p>
<p>Now we can add another list of things to with associate this man&#8217;s name, such as reality TV show, <em>Rock of Love</em> reject and running away to what other place but &#8220;Oh&#8221; Canada. </p>
<p>Ryan Jenkins is not only the main suspect in the murder &#8212; and stuffing of chopped limbs into a suitcase (can&#8217;t leave that out, again) &#8212; of his wife, but he&#8217;s now the reason for the cancellation of the latest VH1 reality TV show, <em>Megan Wants a Millionaire</em>.<br />
<span id="more-928"></span></p>
<p>Jenkins is one of the finalists in the show and now, since there&#8217;s a manhunt in his name, well, the show just cannot go on. I feel bad for Megan. She had a murderer in her lineup! </p>
<p>With <em>Megan Wants a Millionaire</em> canceled, at least this season, whatever will the fans do? A show based on the train wrecked love life of Megan Hauserman, the <em>Rock of Love</em> reject. Boy oh boy. That&#8217;s a show I&#8217;m really going to miss, especially considering that I just now became aware of its existence. </p>
<p>According to <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/08/reality-star-ryan-jenkins-flees-onfoot-to-canada-the-manhunt-is-on.html">The Envelope</a>, Jenkins fled to Canada (on foot no less!) as soon as he found out &#8212; him and the whole world &#8212; that the police were out looking for him. </p>
<p>Interesting choice for a place to run. If I were in his situation &#8212; purely hypothetical, of course &#8212; I&#8217;d be thinking Mexico or some small island off the coast of South America. Seriously. Canada? </p>
<p>The guy, excuse me, this murderer, is a moron. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paula Abdul, known for being the &#8220;nice&#8221; judge on American Idol (what isn&#8217;t nice next to Mr. Mean-mouth Simon Cowell?), might not be returning to the show next season, according to a recent report from the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iQf-1QJLTZjrTOIUBxsJ2EdOmVvgD99HOKH00">Associated Press</a>. </p>
<p>I personally do not blame Paula. Ever since all the negative attention she received after doing some episodes for a new show &#8212; another one of those &#8220;reality&#8221; TV shows that follow celebrities in their day-to-day routine &#8212; I&#8217;d want to get myself out of the spotlight too. </p>
<p><span id="more-702"></span></p>
<p>(Reminds me of another famous somebody as of late that seems to be shying away from the spotlight, and for much the same reason. Does, &#8220;I can see Russia from my backdoor&#8230;&#8221; ring a bell?) </p>
<p>Then again, Paula plays an important part of the American Idol judge team. </p>
<p>Simon, of course, tells it like it is; the good the bad and the butt ugly. Randy&#8217;s more a middle of the line person who&#8217;s not as harsh as Simon, but not nearly as sweet as Paula. And as of this latest season, there&#8217;s the newly added Kara DioGuardi, who I simply cannot stand. To me, the woman comes off as straight up stuck up. It was also rumored that DioGuardi was brought in to replace Paula, a way to ease the audience into her departure, but of course that was never confirmed. </p>
<p>Although we know some of those people on that stage really can&#8217;t cut it, Paula always makes sure to never step over someone&#8217;s feelings. When there&#8217;s seemingly no compliments in sight, Paula finds one in a hat, a hairstyle or a hug. </p>
<p>I honestly don&#8217;t know if American Idol will be same without her, and more importantly for Fox, if the show will bring in as many viewers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Letterman has been known for his humor on his late night talk show for years.  Some jokes were &#8220;ha-ha,&#8221; politically correct funny, while others you simply laughed at because you were supposed to.  Then, at other times, as all comedians will do, Letterman and his writers pushed the boundaries and came up with material that had the potential to cause some serious backlash, and sometimes both.</p>
<p><span id="more-413"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSTRE55F0E320090616"><em>Reuters</em></a> reports Letterman&#8217;s snafu is a joke about A-Rod that uses the Palin clan as a punchline.  Taking a stab at A-Rod&#8217;s history of swinging his bat and home running with all sorts of women, Letterman joked about A-Rod &#8216;knocking up&#8217; Alaskan Gov. Palin&#8217;s daughter during a family visit to Yankee stadium.</p>
<p>As most grocery shoppers have by now read through our wondrous collection of tabloids, Sarah Palin&#8217;s daughter Bristol is a mother out of wedlock and has unfortunately had her personal life invaded by the media for ignorant dissection, all to pass judgment on someone who has nothing to do with politics other than relation (while on the contrary, you barely hear about the Obama kids).</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Letterman, the 18-year-old Bristol was not the Palin daughter at the game, but the 14-year-old Willow Palin.  By making the off-color joke, Letterman unwittingly tried to create humor about a very taboo subject, riling up people who care. Needless to say, anti-Letterman protests have ensued, all while his ratings took off.</p>
<p>Maybe Letterman&#8217;s gamble will pay off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To get the latest news on what TLC has dubbed “America’s favorite family,” just take a quick scan of the covers and headlines of the majority of those grocery line gossip magazines on your next grocery grab to see for yourself. The controversy surrounding the famous family known for their TV show Jon and Kate Plus Eight, has grown so much it’s almost shadowing the size of the family.</p>
<p><span id="more-259"></span></p>
<p>First there were the rumors about Jon cheating on Kate with a scandalously young schoolteacher. Next it was Kate cheating with the dashing, salt-and-pepper-haired family bodyguard.  Now it’s (finally) about the children and whether or not Jon and Kate are deciding to stick with the show just for the money. </p>
<p>And what exactly do I mean by money? You may have to grab a chair for this one. The Gosselins have reportedly been banking between $25,000 and $50,000 an episode, with seasons running upwards of 40 shows. Somehow I don’t think college – even for eight youngsters pondering the possibility of Harvard – will be a problem. </p>
<p>It’s true that every tirade, tear, tantrum and tickle is filmed for the show. Could this be harming the children? Some psychiatrists, particularly one that contributed to an article written about the family by Fox News, says most definitely. </p>
<p>Others point to the fact that many child stars didn’t turn out so hot. Off the top of my head, I can think of plenty myself. There’s a very dead River Phoenix (drugs), a cute but crazy Corey Feldman (drugs), the both famous and infamous Danny Bonaduce (drugs/alcohol…prostitution?), the Home Alone, hand-to-the-face-slapping Macaulay Culkin (drugs), and Terminator 2’s tough teen, Edward Furlong (drugs). </p>
<p>I really can’t picture the little Gosselin’s going down any of those roads, but one never knows anymore today. Either way, I think the media should stick to their latest clutch with this one and keep it about the kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That&#8217;s right, a Twitter-based television series is just about ready for pitching (just when you thought your social networking world couldn&#8217;t get any better&#8230;).</p>
<p>Twitter has teamed up with Reveille Productions and Brillstein Entertainment Partners to mastermind the creation of this fine television show. Producers told the Alternative Press that the show &#8220;would harness Twitter to put players on the trail of celebrities in an interactive, competitive format.&#8221; </p>
<p><span id="more-225"></span></p>
<p>This would all be unscripted, of course, and obviously superior to all other shows on television. </p>
<p>My favorite part of this entire ordeal is that someone was so inspired by Twitter that they developed the show themselves and then went to Twitter to pitch the idea. </p>
<p>Amy Ephron, creator and executive producer, told the Alternative Press that she believes the immediacy of this cultural phenomenon will make the show a success.</p>
<p>This is about all we know of this show. Everyone is being hush-hush about the title and specifics. I guess they want it to be a big surprise when they pitch it to the networks. Soon after, they&#8217;ll be ready to head to production. </p>
<p>Hopefully they can get it to production before everyone finds the next best thing and forgets all about Twitter, just as Americans do with most things. First, the cool social networking site was LiveJournal, then MySpace, then Facebook, now Twitter, next what? </p>
<p>While we still don&#8217;t know much about this Twitter TV situation, I have a hard time believing it will be successful. With recent developments springing up every day, should anyone bank on a trend?</p>
