I Have A Confession To Make...
I totally watched the series premiere of the revamped 90210 last night. And I enjoyed it.

Oh The Dramz
Did you hear? I'm sure you have seeing as how it's been all-over the entertainment news since this morning, but being that I haven't posted about my ultimate favorite reality show recently, I thought I would post this little tidbit.
David Hernandez, a current contestant on American Idol, was a stripper in Phoenix, AZ. He danced for three years in an all-male revue at a club with a largely gay male clientele. An all-naked, all-male revue at that. Suh-weet.
What good is another season of American Idol without a scandal?

Super Skinny Me
While most people were watching the Super Bowl yesterday, I was watching this: Super Skinny Me
Thank you for making this short documentary, BBC. Thank you.
It's a pretty insightful piece. Especially considering that the two journalists involved were of "sound mind" when they opted to participate in the experiment.
Overall, I found it bittersweet and think it is a pretty enlightening piece for the general public/audiences.
Many people I know and talk with regularly think this ED stuff primarily happens to younger women - adolescents in their teenage years.
And they find it to be a hard pill to swallow when they learn that women my age struggle with ED - or that it never went away from previous years of abuse.
And harder still to swallow when people discover women older than myself struggle with it.
The ignorance makes me want to scream sometimes.

Idol Thoughts
I did in fact watch American Idol this past week and my thoughts are, "Ehhh." I could take it or leave it. But you know me, for now, I will take it.
The judges put some people through who I think shouldn't have been put through - namely a sixteen year-old cheerleader overachiever - her voice really wasn't all that. But I am not a music industry expert nor am I paid to judge this show, so my opinion is irrelevant.
Maybe this week will be better.

Bad TV Gene
Last night one of my buddies told me that I have what he calls the Bad TV Gene. The BTVG is part of your genetic makeup. This gene compels you to shamelessly watch reeeally bad television.
What can I say? Guilty as charged.
Here are the top five current shows shamelessly viewed by yours truly. These shows might make others cringe, but by golly, they roxor my soxors if you know what I mean. Anywho:
1. Degrassi: The Next Generation
2. Desperate Housewives
3. Grey's Anatomy
4. Intervention
5. American Idol
I am willing to bet I am not alone in my viewings. I'm just more willing to admit it than a lot of people.

I Am Your Brother, Forever...
The premiere episodes of American Idol are now finished and I have to seriously question why I was so excited to watch them. Both episodes kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
While a few individuals sang with fantastical talent, most of the auditions were forgettable. This is not to mention that the judges were lacking that certain je ne sais quoi that we, as an audience, grew to adore in the days of yore.
Don't get me wrong. I'll continue to watch this eyesore as I am compulsed to do so, but I have to agree the show has been on the decline for a few years now. Maybe it will get better as the season progresses. Probably not.

Ooo Whoa Ooo Whoa Ooo
Tonight I will be watching the second episode of this season's American Idol. I have a not-so-secret secret love affair with this show. I should probably be ashamed to watch, because the after effects of the show leave you with that "not so clean feeling." But I am so NOT ashamed. I am unabashedly unashamed. Oh man, I can't wait!

Clash Of The Choirs
What is wrong with me? Why can I not seem to stop watching this train wreck of a television show? I definitely need to look into getting a life one of these days.
