They always ruin my funIt looks like I'll need to find a new target (watch out, Carly), Robbie has left the building. Simon speculated that "the public saw what we saw. . .it just never, ever felt real, Robbie". Taking the walk of shame along with the "long locked" "rocker" were Alaina Whitaker (who?), Alexandréa Lushington (too bad, the second most fun name to say this year, after Chikezie of course...who I totally think should become a Chick-Fil-A spokesperson, but I digress), and Jason Yeager (again, who?). Two of 'em don't surprise me considering I had to go to the Idol website just to be reminded who they even were. Were you surprised by any of the departures?
Neither "big" nor "giving"? Discuss
"Oprah's Big Give" is getting some not so great advance publicity from USAToday. TV critic Robert Bianco comments that the show will, "strike you as either immensely uplifting or horrifyingly vulgar, or an odd combo of both". In the article, he suggests that charity is something that should be gone about discreetly, not necessarily by calling attention to oneself in a somewhat self-congratulatory way. He says that the show is simply, "publicity masked as charity".
Ouch.
Will you be watching?
Quick Hits
* Precocious Point star Miley Cyrus admitted to Jay Leno last night that she has a drinking problem. Well, kind of. Apparently she likes to drink ketchup. Umm, eew.
* Halle Berry has teamed up with a perfume company to develop her own scent. Hopefully it won't smell like that leather outfit from Catwoman.
* The reality shows aren't going away any time soon. ABC just renewed a whole bunch for next year, including mainstay America's Funniest Videos. Also on the list were no-brainer ratings winner Dancing With the Stars. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Supernanny, and Wife Swap will all be back as well.
