Paul is Sent Packing on American Idol! Bout’ Time!
Who is with me? I am so glad that Paul has been voted off American Idol. I thought from the beginning of the season that he just did not have what it takes to be be the last man standing.

Dancing With The Stars – The Last Round for Sugar Ray Leonard! [VIDEO]
I have to agree with tonight's decision on Dancing With The Stars. The final bell has rung and it is a "knock-out" for Sugar Ray Leonard; he is not going on to the next round of competition.

American Idol Rocks The Stage Tonight!
The final American Idol contestants performed songs from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends tonight on the Idol stage. I thought it was a rough night for the majority of our final nine contestants. See if you agree with my reaction to tonight's American Idol performances.

Kirstie Alley and Max’s Big Fall On Dancing With The Stars!
My favorite Dancing With The Stars couple, Kirstie and Max, took a bit of a spill on last night's show. Did that stop me from voting for them? No it did not!

Hollywood Week – Too Many People? [VIDEO]
I am so glad that Hollywood Week is starting on American Idol. Usually, I enjoy the auditions, but this season it felt long and tedious to me. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez put so many undeserving contestants through at the start of the auditions, that I began to get frustrated...

Seriously, A Second Chance For Brad The Bachelor?
On the second episode of ABC's The Bachelor, Brad Womack sent three bachelorettes packing during Monday night's broadcast of the reality dating series' fifteenth season. Did they deserve to get the boot?

Jared Loughner, Tuscon Shooter
When I first saw this picture of the charged Tuscon shooter, I literally got chills! It doesn't surprise me that his attorneys will cite mental illness as the defense, here's what the New York Times has to say:

Life After Simon Cowell!
I am the self-proclaimed biggest American Idol fan in the country. I watch the show every week, I vote for my favorites not just once, but up to 100 times if I really like contestant. I Google the contestants, host and judges just to find out as much information as I can about them. All that being said, I am concerned about what my show will be like without Simon Cowell.
