day 2.216

chris brown beat her down: crybaby edition
really? it took a year and a half chris brown? really? last night, bet aired their annual award show honoring the best in r&b, rap and soul music. part of the show was a tribute to michael jackson, starring chris brown. brown danced through a medley of jackson's hits before attempting to perform "man in the mirror." unfortunately, for chris, his emotions got the best of him. chris could barely get out a sound, let alone the song's lyrics before he hunched over into the fetal position and broke down. now, there's no way to know whether or not chris was sad over the death of mj or beating rihanna. but, i think we all know. watch the great dance sequence for the first 4 minutes of the video above, then watch the most uncomfortable moment on tv (so far) this year.

cougar town say what?
after a strong, creatively driven first season, rumors are circulating (and by circulating, i mean everyone attached to this show has confirmed it) that abc's cougar town could be getting a name change come fall. well, now the show's possible names are making the rounds. according to e news, the following list is being considered for the series' second season:

  • friends and family
  • friends and neighbors
  • the cul de sac neighborhood
  • the end of the street
  • the neighborhood
  • jules neighborhooding
really? i'm not even sure neighborhooding is english. not one of these titles sounds like a real show. they sound like a funny-or-die sketch. obviously, someone was trying to associate the show with star courtney cox's former series friends. if they go with any of these titles, it would have to be the neighborhood. my suggestion? find a different person (i.e. not you 5-year-old kid) to come up with titles.

update: apparently, the list e! received was lost in translation. according to our nice anonymous friend in the comments, the correct list is as follows
  • friends and family
  • friends and neighbors
  • the cul de sac
  • neighborhood jules
  • neighborhooding
  • the end of the street
  • the neighborhood
now i kind of like neighborhooding. it makes more sense when jules isn't doing it, right? what do you think of the right new names?

I'm Kristen's original source for the Cougar Town thing, but the list got screwed up in translation. Apparently E! e-mail thingy squished out all my line breaks, and she parsed the list incorrectly when she posted it. I'm e-mailed her back, but it hadn't been corrected last time I checked. The correct list of possible names is as follows:

1) Friends and Family
2) Friends and Neighbors
3) The Cul de Sac
4) Neighborhood Jules
5) Neighborhooding
6) The End of the Street
7) The Neighborhood

Also, keeping "Cougar Town" was discussed as an option.
