ABC…cause I actually watched the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Never in my life have I found that show entertaining…I’ll repeat that, never in my life.  Even after watching it last night, still not all that entertained. I think it’s mainly because most of the movies, if not all I either haven’t heard of or haven’t seen.

I will say props to Kathryn Bigelow, the first female director to get the award for Best Director. And Sandra Bullock, who I adore finally getting the recognition she derserves!

Check out the hi’s and low’s of the show according to msn.com: http://movies.msn.com/academy-awards/best-worst/story/?GT1=28101

American Idol said goodbye to 4 more hopefuls last night…and so far, just because of the suckage on the show it’s really hard to judge who is going home. It makes me feel bad for my Nana, she’s trying so hard and well, it’s not her fault her picks are off right now. Once we get to the top 12, I think we’ll be back on track.

But, Nana thought the following 4 were saying goodbye last night:

Tim Urban

Todrick Hall

Katie Brown

Haeley Vaughn

I agree with all of ‘em, except Todrick. Yet, here we are with the couple good amongst the rest of ‘eh.

Bags packin’: Jermaine Sellers, John Park, Michelle Delamor and Haeley Vaughn.

So, Nana’s off and so am I when it comes to who I believed would even get to the Top12. Now, if they make it a Top11…I still have a shot!

Being sick last week has caused me to slack this week, my apologies…

How about a funny story for you?

Naomi Campbell’s alleged limo driver beatdown may have been a jealous rage.

A 27 year-old driver (Miodrag Mejdina) was hired to take Campbell from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to a photo studio in Queens in a Cadillac Escalade. He told cops that the supermodel became furious, and just before they got to the Queensboro Bridge, she slapped and hit him from the backseat, knocking his head against the steering wheel.

When he pulled over to report her to a traffic cop, Campbell got out of the car and fled on foot.

NY newspapers report that Campbell was angry over a year-old incident involving her current boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin. Apparently a year ago, when the aide (Mejdina) was driving him around, Naomi called Doronin but he didn’t answer. She then called the driver, who didn’t pick up either.

Tuesday she remembered the incident, and reportedly was enraged the driver wouldn’t tell her whether Doronin was cheating on her.

By The Way : Naomi’s beau is still married, to another woman

It’s one thing to think your movie is awesome, I mean it is up for a ton of Academy Awards; however, to then hit up different peeps of the voting board of the Oscars themselves saying just that…um…dude, are you dumb??? See the article below…

Academy Drops the Bomb on ‘Hurt Locker’ Producer

The translation: the producer broke the cardinal rule of putting down another film (however mighty) while pumping his own up. Or at least getting caught doing it with a paper trail.

The LATime’s Envelope blog called it “the now infamous email campaign” in which Chartier “urged friends to contact academy members and tell them to support his movie over that ‘$500M film.’ ” (That film is an obvious reference to “Avatar”).

The Academy did stop short of making “The Hurt Locker” ineligible for the Oscar (that would be nuclear).Should the worthy film still win, the remaining three producers Kathryn Bigelow, Mark Boal and Greg Shapiro would accept the award. Chartier would receive his award after the telecast.”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. –

“American Idol” is switching things around this week due to “medical issues” related to one contestant.

FOX reps announced on Tuesday morning that the Top 10 male semifinalists will now perform tonight instead of the women, a change related to dreadlocked singer, and a judges’ favorite, Crystal Bowersox.

“Due to medical issues which would prevent Crystal Bowersox from performing tonight, the 10 male semifinalists will perform this evening, and the 10 female semifinalists will perform tomorrow night,” the network announced on Tuesday.

No further details were available about the singer’s “medical issues.”

Next week, the competition is expected to return to its usual format of the woman performing on Tuesday and the men on Wednesday.

FOX also announced that on Thursday, Danny Gokey, third runner-up from Season 8, will perform his new single, “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me.” The same night, four more contestants will go home – two women and two men.

Imagine your friends convince you to go on a vacation, only to realize the entire time you’re there you have to go through “couples therapy.” You’re on an island with beautiful beaches, crystal clear water…and a therapist. I’ll admit, the first two pieces of that puzzle sound great, right about now, the rest? Just plain funny.

Vince Vaughn is his charming, witty self in the new to dvd, “Couples Retreat,” (also starring John Favreau, Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love and Malin Akerman.) I’m a Vaughn fan, so renting this was a no brainer. It was a romantic comedy at times, it was a ball busting comedy at times and then just stupid funny…when combining ‘em all: good movie.

While Vaughn is the obvious “star” of the film, you’ll be taken over by the kid that plays his youngest son, Kevin. While not in the film a ton, he steals every scene he’s in.

So far, so good…American Idol said good-bye to (4) of the top 24 last night; Janelle Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, Tyler Grady and Joe Munoz. Am I surprised? Nope. (Look back at the last two blogs to see who I picked to make the top 12.)

I will say, I’m surprised these (4) went before others, though Votefortheworst.com is at it again, which could explain some things. They have chosen this seasons most annoying and untalented: Haeley Vaughn and Tim Urban. The only thing I enjoy about Vaughn, she has the same guitar as me. Tim? He isn’t even technically supposed to be there in the first place. Maybe I sound harsh, but the show isn’t meant for the least talented to succeed. We need the Kelly Clarkson’s, the Carrie Underwood’s, Jordin Sparks’ and Kris Allen’s of the world. Those that stand out in their genre, those that stand out in general for their talents. Hopefully as the show goes on, we’ll get just that.

In the meantime…The girls are back at it Tuesday, with the guys going Wednesday and more results on Thursday. Three nights of pure amazingness.

American Idol…live show number 2: The Boys.

I’ll admit, I was a little worried that it was just gonna plain suck after witnessing the train wreck that was “Girls night” Tuesday, but the boys did ok. There were some performances that I could’ve done without, for sure. However, something I’ve noticed this season, unless someone just gets ridiculously better is that it’s very easy, like early on seasons, to see who is going to make the top 10 or 12.

If you were to rewatch Season 1 or 2…you can instantly see the favorites. Early on it was almost a given that Justin Guarini would win season 1, he came in second obviously to Kelly Clarkson…but, my point is that certain people stand out, you know they’ll be successful.

I chose my top (6) girls, I’ll do the same for the guys…

Casey James

Aaron Kelly

Andrew Garcia

Todrik Hall

Lee Dewyze

Michael Lynche

I almost wish I could pick more guys, simply because the girls were just bad. But, unlike the early seasons mentioned they try to make it even nowadays, regardless of talent. We’ll see what happens. The results show tonight…(2) guys and (2) girls say “peace out!” And we get performances from one of my favorites, Kris Allen as well as last seasons 4th place contestant, Allison Irraheta, who I also enjoy.

May the right people say good-bye!

Actually…THIS issssss just my blog.

It’s also day number three of having one heck of a sore throat…doing what I can to make it go bye bye. By that, I mean…last night was a night of relaxation, in hopes of getting better but in doing this it meant watching Idol from start to finish. That’s normally fine by me, cause I love me some Idol — However, I could’ve done without the first hour and ten minutes. It was like a train wreck that kept rewinding and crashing all over again.

My prediction for the girls…we’ll see if I’m right with this…I’m guessing the following will be the Top 6 girls that make it past this round and to the final 12.

are you feeling like P Diddy? Don’t try to deny that was the first thought that came to your mind in finishing that headline! It’ll also be stuck in the your head the rest of today and no, I won’t apologize (and that wasn’t meant to remind you of One Republic, either.)

If you were listening to the show yesterday, you may have heard my parody of “Tik Tok,” that I put together for Shawn Gillie. If you don’t listen during the big drive times, you may not be familiar with Shawn…he’s my traffic guy the majority of the week and jumps on the show for other things here and there as well. If you come to any of the big FLY shows, you might see him and I on stage together to introduce  an artist or two.

Normally, he makes fun of me in a big way on a regular basis and because I’m the nice person I am, I take it. However, this time around, it was my turn to poke fun.
