French Open - Serena Williams

Serena Williams almost choked today. If she had lost today, she would have blamed it on an injury to her leg or knee or whatever she can think of that might be ailing her. She is very lucky she made it through.

"My leg felt pretty good, actually," Williams said. "I'm definitely more confident in it. I felt good movement-wise." (Now remember she won, what would the result be if she had lost?)

What I most look forward to seeing is what Oracene's hair is doing that day and what type of sunglasses she may be wearing. Fang's Bites is telling me they were quite hilarious today.

Glee - "Don't Stop Believin'" (REAL HQ - Direct from HD Broadcast, No Camera)

I loved this show! I can't wait till Fall for this one. Let's hope they don't keep moving it to different nights or it won't survive.

American Idol Predictions- The Finale

I would like Kris Allen to win but I am not going to lose any sleep if he doesn't.

I actually tried voting for him last night but could never get through on all 3 numbers so maybe that's a good sign. I know someone who voted for him last night just because they hate Adam...

Ok so observations on the show last night.

Adam sings first, cheesy down the stairs entrance even after Simon commented on how that was pretentious during the regular season, he still did it. Mad World, sounded just like it did the first time I heard him sing it but apparently the judges think he sounded A M A Z I N G (that would be Kara speaking).

Randy " Yeah Yeah Yeah" Jackson looked better than usual. Paula looked orange, did she tan 24 hrs straight?....

Kris sang Ain't No Sunshine and it was really good. I hate when Simon gives the rounds to the contestant, it's almost a doomsday outcome for them.

What was Anthony Hopkins doing in the audience and he looked pretty horrible. Katie Holmes, Rachel Bilson... Are they fans or are they doing something with Fox?

Adam's Sam Cooke song had a stretch of constant high pitch screeching that I thought I was hearing nails down a chalkboard. YUCK! I enjoyed the laid back verson of Marvin Gaye's song. It sounded nice. I love that style of music, stripped down & acoustic...

And OMG but Kara's song was really bad. Both contestants didn't do anything for it and Adam's low register isn't the greatest. How can anyone be judged by that song anyway? And that will be the single, EWWWWW!

Well we'll see who wins tonight. Probably around 11:03pm. Take a nap during the awful dance number they do in the beginning of the show...

American Idol & other things

So tonight is the big finale between Adam "The Screamer" Lambert & Kris "So Cute" Allen. I hope Kris does well. But with the cheesy ballad that American Idol always makes them sing in the final, I think Adam may succeed here unless they are at liberty to change it.

Also, why is SAMANTHA WHO? cancelled? This show is downright funny. If ABC didn't switch the nights it was on 50 million times, it may have survived.

And the season finale of Lost! That was awesome. As for Juliet, we hear she's leaving the show to be on a remake of the 80's sci-fi/drama V, which by the way, I used to love and own on VHS. For those of you who don't remember, it's lizard aliens disguised as humans pretending to befriend earth and secretly wanting to take over and steal its water supply. Hey wasn't there a perfectly good alien show they cancelled a few years ago called Invasion starring the awesome William Fichtner aka Josh Snyder from As The World Turns in the 80's.

I always remember the weirdest facts....

Simon Cowell: Adam Lambert Will Win 'Idol'

Why watch if this is the case which I am sure it is!!

According to Billboard.com:

American Idol" judge Simon Cowell says he thinks Adam Lambert will win this season of the popular singing competition show. Cowell told Oprah Winfrey on Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that his money is on Lambert because the contestant is fearless, unique and "he's got swagger."Winfrey also featured Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, who is competing on "Britain's Got Talent." Boyle told Winfrey she's "loving every second" of her newfound fame. The 47-year-old Boyle became famous after she shocked judges and the audience with her version of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables." One of those judges was Cowell, who wished Boyle congratulations and wished her "best of luck" on the rest of the competition.

Manny Ramirez- Uh Oh!

Well I am glad Manny isn't with the Red Sox still. But let's face it, everyone thought this guy was one of those natural players who just was awesome at baseball. Coaches always saying, "Manny is the first one out there and he works out harder than any player you know".

It's really disappointing... Something called HCG, a fertility drug, used in people who are coming off steroids to pump up their testosterone. Steroids kills/lowers testosterone levels so the thinking is Manny's bedroom routine hadn't been working for some time....so why not get some HCG! A banned substance in the MLB.


Should we consider bringing Pete Rose back now? Betting on baseball seems less harsh than this stuff.

American Idol Results

I am very disappointed that Allison is not continuing on but she is probably the most marketable contestant and then Kris behind her. I don't really see Adam or Danny making it big on the pop or rock charts. But I am still hoping that Kris makes it to the finale because if he doesn't there really isn't any reason to watch for me...

American Idol Predictions - Rock Week

When someone compares a contestant of American Idol to a "Rock God", you really start to wonder what the hell are these people listening to and how much drugs are they taking? Kara "I Wanna Be the Cool Judge" DioGuardi is useless on this panel of 3 judges. Why is she even on this show? I think she better follow the rumors and leave the show. PLEASE!!!

I seriously think they shouldn't even have a final because the judges want so badly for Adam Lambert to win that it makes me want to puke. Over praise, ridiculous comparisons to actual rock legends.. It's sickening..

This week I really felt that Danny was the worst. And if you go on Vote for The Worst, they claim that Danny is using the Lenscrafters symbol (the heart shaped thing he does with this fingers at the end of his songs) to pitch for them. Maybe??? Anyway, Dream On stunk and that scream at the end was awful. Who knows if he will be dumped though. Paula wants him in the finals...

Alison is sooo good, it's scary. Yo Dawg Randy didn't like it but it was aight! You can always predict what Randy will say. Here's the scenario. After a perfromer sings, the crowd is screaming & clapping so Randy is trying to quiet the crowd with his round of "Yo's" and his right arm up to tell the crown to quiet down. Get a new schtick!

Kris, who I do love, sang Come Together by The Beatles. I mean, how can you change up a Beatles song. I think if Adam sang a Beatles song, Paula might have claimed he was right up there in status with John Lennon or Paul McCartney. Kris was ok but I think he may go home this week.

Adam.... Well he did sound just like Led Zeppelin pretty much through the whole song. It's really tough with the judges because 1 week they say, it sounds karaoke or they didn't like the arrangement. Well Adam sang in his own way and the judges pretty much made it impossible for anyone to compare to him. Why do you think he went first?

I really don't know who will go home. I hope it's not Allison...

American Idol- Final 4

So I am hearing that this week will be a Rock theme w/the mentoring of Slash. I think the days of his hair hanging in his face & the cigarette hanging out of his mouth are over. I guess it will be rock songs of the 70's & 80's.

I also hear they will be doing 2 songs and each will do a duet? I'm not sure if this is correct but that is the rumor...
