day 184

reality craziness

with televisions biggest shows coming to an end for the season (american idol, dancing with the stars) a lot of dramz is going (and went down).  last night, shawn johnson was named winner of dancing with the stars. i know what you're thinking "what the fuck?" yeah, that's what i thought, too.  the little gymnastic munchkin didn't even appear to be a fan fave until lil kim got kicked off before her.  what was american thinking?  shawn johnson, really?  and while some people are saying that no olympian has never lost the show, that's not true.  while apollo anton ono and kristi yamaguchi did take the disco ball trophy, last season's maurice green only made it to 5th place and he's a gold medalist.  hmm. so there goes that theory.  i guess people just like little people dancing?  i was full on for melissa rycroft, last season's the bachelor "winner," but the judges kind of threw her under the bus and she only got 3rd place.  when that happened, i expected gille marini to take the trophy, but he lost by 1 percent.  oh well, better luck next season.  but, if abc is smart, i think they should buy samantha harris out of her contract (pretty much because i cannot stand the way she interviews people) and keep melissa around as the new cohost ... over at idol, kris and adam performed their final 3 songs (well, until they have to do a bunch of production numbers tonight) and i really don't care which one of them wins.  and not in a good way - i find neither of them to be american idols/pop stars.  at least kris can play multiple instruments, giving him a musical advantage.  as far as i know, adam (aka glambert) can't play any.  plus, the amount of make-up he wears just freaks me out.  i really think idol messed up this season; the voting processes were all wrong - you cannot do the show with an uneven number of boys and girls, it just doesn't work.  plus, no matter how many tween girls vote, idol will always be a girls' game - the only successful winners have been female (kelly, carrie, and jordin).  but, i guess we'll see who takes the title tonight.  hopefully whoever wins will give the boot to the winning song, co-written by new judge kara dio guardi (who is reportedly returning, which i think is a good thing.  randy jackson needs to go - kara says the same things, but with real advice for the contestants beyond "it was aight/tight/pitchy, dawg").  after the episode - which was the lowest rated idol finale ever - was finished taping last night, simon cowell's former lady love and current extra correspondent, terri seymour, was attacked outside the studio.  seymour was targeted outside the nokia theater last night because of her close association with the idol judge, according to the lapd.  seymour's attacker was a 200 lb + female (that's probably twice terri's size) who asked the tv personality if she was "that woman from tv" and if she was simon's former flame.  the woman was taken into custody right away and, as of now, isn't considered a threat.  geez, who knew a fun singing competition could get so violent.  

that's it for now.
