The film, set in<br />1954, follows US Marshall Teddy Daniels and partner Chuck Aule (played<br />by Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo) as they investigate the<br />disappearance of a prisoner of Shutter Island, a mental institution<br />for the criminally insane. But things go south when Daniels finds out<br />that shady things are happening on the island, and it becomes apparent<br />that he may never get off the island.<br /><br />Shutter Island certainly delivers as a haunting psychological<br />thriller. From the moment Daniels arrives on the island, you get the<br />feeling that you can't trust anyone. As more about the history of the<br />island and its residents becomes apparent, you realize that Daniels<br />got more than he bargained for with this investigation. At almost 2<br />hours and 20 minutes, Shutter Island does feel long, but the countless<br />plot twists will make you want to keep your bathroom breaks to a<br />minimum.<br /><br />Shutter Island is beautiful aesthetically; <div id=":am" class="ii gt"><wbr>through moody lighting and<br />spooky buildings that set you on edge from the beginning, Scorsese<br />delivers a period thriller that is as beautiful as it is entertaining.<br />However, the film seems to take itself too seriously at times.<br />Scorsese ineffectively tries to force on the audience a personal<br />connection with Daniels with lengthy dream sequences and flashbacks;<br />however, the character is carried by DiCaprio's fine performance as<br />the confused but inquisitive Marshall. Though the dialogue sometimes<br />felt forced or stilted, the spooky supporting cast, with Ben Kingsley<br />as the head of the island and Michelle Williams as Daniel's haunting<br />former wife, helps the pace along enough to keep the interest.<br /><br />In all, while not perfect, Shutter Island is an entertaining<br />commercial thriller that will keep you guessing.</div>Billy Holberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05534563695261777911noreply@blogger.com99tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-62943930481831892532010-01-28T01:09:00.004-05:002010-02-01T13:52:02.351-05:00EBUZZ Giveaway!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPhtRB8ID2JWof-f7E4VvfWLtsgiQcQ9DUKL3Bqkj2zth8bpuFvlV2gA1JwFH5LyPzZClUBY2lkQuP0DgUpH0QV2ac4BhTaAr1gfa6topgVG-Ui-C-JGgty64mz37mjN1qUpYnQz0zwzc/s1600-h/Dear-John-amanda-seyfried-4509086-518-649.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPhtRB8ID2JWof-f7E4VvfWLtsgiQcQ9DUKL3Bqkj2zth8bpuFvlV2gA1JwFH5LyPzZClUBY2lkQuP0DgUpH0QV2ac4BhTaAr1gfa6topgVG-Ui-C-JGgty64mz37mjN1qUpYnQz0zwzc/s320/Dear-John-amanda-seyfried-4509086-518-649.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431669466258408594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Movie goers get excited!

In fact, I've been slacking on posting altogether (my apologies). When I saw the following music video this morning I new, though, that no matter how busy I got today, I'd have to take time out to share this with you.<br />
DJ Earworm's "United States of Pop" took massive hits from 2009 and made them into one, entirely awesome, and slightly sensory overloading, experience. The fact that he made the mix is impressive, the fact that there is a music video TO the mix, rocks my world.<br />
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!<br />

I didn't include it in our morning show (come on, we report on REAL NEWS lol), but I did share it with the other morning show producer so we could have a laugh together. I'm sure you'll see the irony and laugh out loud as well.<br />
<br />
Here it goes:<br />
<blockquote><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "HANNAH MONTANA" COULD BE DONE<br />
NEW YORK (AP) -- Doesn't it seem like Miley Cyrus already has moved on from "Hannah Montana?" The show could be on its way out. A Disney Channel executive tells the New York Post "Hannah Montana" probably will shut down for good after filming its fourth season. But, he says "you never know in this business." And, a Disney spokeswoman confirms those comments but won't say anything more. Production on season four is expected to begin later this month. Those episodes will start airing in late spring and continue through next year. The Post reports that the fourth season will reflect the real-life struggle Cyrus is having about saying goodbye to the character that made her famous. The Disney Channel is just airing the third season now. The third season finale will air in March as a one-hour episode. That's when the character of Miley Stewart will decide if she wants to continue being popstar Hannah Montana in disguise or just be a regular girl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2010/01/12/1225818/266219-miley-cyrus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2010/01/12/1225818/266219-miley-cyrus.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
</span><br />
</blockquote>Now let me highlight what made me laugh. <i>"That's when the character of Miley Stewart will decide if she wants to continue being popstar Hannah Montana in disguise or just be a regular girl."</i><br />
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't that been the question in EVERY episode of the show since the series began? Isn't that what the movie apparently tackled in its plot too? So basically Disney is saying we'll officially resolve the issue in the last episode ever of the series. It's like Gilligan getting off the island. If he does, the show is over. So I guess Hannah won't be going full-out Miley anytime soon.<br />
And how much you want to bet that the Hannah character dies in the end to make room for a big Disney Miley push? Maybe a Miley only season 4 album? Maybe a Miley headlining tour (oh wait, been there done that TWICE).<br />
The good news is that if you AREN'T a Hannah fan, you only have one more year of fresh material to put up with. The bad news is that much like Hilary Duff's departure from Disney, Miley's separation will be the subject of serious debate for the next two years. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

We all knew this was coming. Much like Hilary Duff once let Lizzie McGuire go, it was only a matter of time before Miley said goodbye to her blonde-wigged alter-ego.<br />
<a href="http://fantasy411.mlblogs.com/hannah-montana15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://fantasy411.mlblogs.com/hannah-montana15.jpg" width="320" /></a> The fact that the popular series has lasted four seasons is a testament to Miley's appreciation of Disney. If I were he I probably would have bailed after the Hannah Montana Movie hit theaters.<br />
I do give Cyrus credit though, she's been really smart about her career thus far. Her slow, but deliberate seperate from her Hannah character has made it easy for her fans to grow up with her. She hasn't left many feeling alienated, and in the mean time has even matured to the point where she's gained support from older audiences (admit it, you've belted out "Party in the USA" when it has come on the radio). This spring she'll hit the big screen in her first non-Disney film: "The Last Song". The movie, which was written specifically for her by best-selling author Nicklas Sparks, also stars some solid adult talent (Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston) which should be a great resume booster for the young talent.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-60580362107695520042009-12-11T17:35:00.000-05:002009-12-11T17:35:59.519-05:00The Climb, and the Fall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dailygab.com/files/2009/11/miley-cyrus-aviators-4xa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://dailygab.com/files/2009/11/miley-cyrus-aviators-4xa1.jpg" width="259" /></a><br />
</div>Miley Cyrus' most successful single to date has undoubtedly been "The Climb". It's permeated both country, top 40, and adult contemporary charts for a time far surpassing its prime, and as such has raked in the accolades. The songs' appearance in "Hannah Montana: The Movie" propelled it even further into the realm of song superstardom.<br />
Thus, it was no surprise to most when "The Climb" received a Grammy nomination for best song written for a movie. What WAS surprising was when it was announced that Disney was pulling the track from contention.<br />
Apparently Miley's ballad wasn't actually written FOR the movie. Director Peter Chelsom found it while scouring Nashville for the movie's music and built the film around it (not the other way around).<br />
It doesn't look like Cyrus has spent too much time (or any at all, for that matter) dwelling on the incident. Instead she's giving fans something new and exciting to look forward to musically. This time it's a remake of the Poison hit "Every Rose has its Thorns". Word even has it that Poison frontman Brett Michaels has even helped Miley record the remake.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-23486176262698691572009-11-20T19:15:00.000-05:002009-11-20T19:15:06.367-05:00Do Miley and Timberland Really "Belong to the Music"? I just listened to the new Miley Cyrus/Timberland track for the first time. They are certainly a pair I had a hard time picturing working together (Timberland doesn't scream "Squeaky clean Disney"). I think this may be the next "Party in the USA" adult-driven track. It's catchy, has a nice rhythm, and again has the power of Timberland--who has a lot of respect in the business right now--- behind it.<br />
What do you think?<br />

<br />
2 PAC - Simply because he's the BEST!!!<br />
<br />
Lil Wayne - For bringing a NEW sound and breath of fresh air to HIP HOP.<br />
<br />
Jay-Z - For creating everlasting songs.<br />
<br />
Eminem - For having so many songs I could relate to as a kid growing up.<br />
<br />
Ludacris - For creating songs with passion and emotion.<br />
<br />
Jadakiss - For being one of the best LYRICIST!!!<br />
<br />
And Last but not least<br />
<br />
Lil Flip - For being a REAL MC, as well as for being the first MAJOR artist I worked with.<br />

<i>(Caspa'): </i>Personally, I believe in the NEW age music era there are equal opportunities on both sides of the state.. With that said, only the Performers/Songwriters/<wbr></wbr>Producers who have the most national exposure and networking connections make great success in this business.<br />
<br />
Due to prior work with DETROIT artist' I have seen both sides of the state make great progression. My producer from Ypsilanti MI, Flawless of THE OLYMPICKS who does production for the biggest DETROIT musicians has recently signed as an in house producer for MABACH MUSIC under the world wide recording artist RICK ROSS. Flawless introduced me to a few Detroit artist some of which are doing national projects as we speak.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, I also see the spectacular progression WEST MICHIGAN has made in the last few years introducing ourselves into the worldwide music circuit. With Grand Rapids native Willie The Kid working with DJ. Drama that has been a breakthrough for a Local artist.<br />
With his numerous national collaborations on the GANGSTA GRILLZ albums he has given WEST MICHIGAN the gateway to advance in the music industry.<br />
<br />
There are many Muskegon, Holland, and Grand Rapids musicians who are good but either have no motivation, or no networking ability.<br />
<br />
Soon enough, people will recognize WEST MICHIGAN as one of the best places for raw talent.<br />
<br />
You also have to add to that DETROIT is a hard city to make anything happen in, don't get me wrong. But MUSKEGON has the LOWEST economy in the state, and if you think about it MICHIGAN has the lowest out of the UNITED STATES. Put it all together and you will have some of the BEST success stories to come from the bottom rather than a larger more recognized city.<br />

<i>(Caspa'): </i>Yea, I've worked with too many artist to name but just to name my personal favorites; <br />
<br />
LIL FLIP was a great artist to work with due to the fact of his world wide exposure.<br />
<br />
As for on a personal note I would have to say my favorite artist to work with is CHRIS LEE. <br />
Chris works with me day in and day out. We're currently working on a couple projects together. Caspa' & Chris Lee are putting out a mixtape together, as well as THE ALLIANCE mixtape to drop in JANUARY. THE ALLIANCE a NEW worldwide group Chris and I are a part of.<br />

<i>(Caspa') </i>Honestly, there is NEVER one goal in this industry.<br />
I can say I'd love to have a Multi-Platinum album, and a few more awards on these walls. <br />
<br />
I started my company Ske-City Entertainment back in 2007.<br />
My sole purpose of starting my company was to show my maturity and progression as an artist. It's not just about making songs anymore, this is LIFE how I plan to survive in years to come. <br />
<br />
With that said, I make timeless records. Every song I write is because of a LIFE experience that I feel someone else in the world could relate to. If I can change one persons feelings by a song then that song has done it's job.<br />
<br />
My goal is to touch as many peoples hearts as possible, and improve the quality of music which is being made at this very moment.<br />
<br />
I will not be a one hit wonder, and I will not stop at 15 minutes of fame. I plan to become one of the biggest worldwide artist ever!!!!<br />
</div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> </div><div><b>(KU):</b> <b>Do you think the internet and music downloading has had a positive, or negative effect on the industry? How has it impacted your career?</b></div></blockquote></div><div><br />
<i>(Caspa') </i>As an independent artist I have to say the Internet has improved the chances of national exposure. Without MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, or TWITTER I would not have as big of a following as I have. When I release a link online for a {FREE DOWNLOAD} I get anywhere from 200 to 2,000 plays and downloads in the first hour. As where even with radio play not all of your fans have the same access to the songs when it is convenient for them. I don't believe I'm far enough along to realize the longevity role the Internet will hold on my career.<br />
<br />
However, the Internet has also decreased ALBUM sales, as well as T.V. video exposure. People will not go out and buy a Store Purchased album when they can go online and download the exact same thing for half the cost, sometimes even for FREE.<br />
<br />
I was actually thinking of this last night. <br />
<br />
Why pay for Manufactured Distribution which can result in a loss due to the affects from INTERNET downloads, when you can now sign an ONLINE DISTRIBUTION DEAL that can do the same for you for a lesser cost and more effective result? This being a positive result from the Music Industry going ONLINE from an INDEPENDENT LABEL perspective.<br />
<br />
As for a Major Label; YES, these results have shook the industry. With the average NEW artist to sign to a MAJOR LABEL for a longer deal with a lesser sign on bonus.<br />
</div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> </div><div><b>(KU):</b> <b>Do you write your own music? If so, where do you draw your inspiration from?</b></div></blockquote></div><div><br />
<i>(Caspa'): </i>Yes, I write all my own LYRICS. Like I stated before every song I create is from a LIFE experience. Something I have been through personally, or I have seen a friend go through.<br />
The inspiration comes from my HEART, people always tell me I have a big heart. That's because I care about how people react to my music. Music is all about EMOTION and how you can create an interest for your explanation of these emotions.<br />
<br />
As for production, I work with allot of great producers in the industry. <br />
Flawless - THE OLYMPICKS {Mabach Music} (Detroit, MI)<br />
C.P. Hollywood - {Slip N' Slide Records} (Miami, FL)<br />
VYBE - {UNSIGNED} (San Jose, Ca)<br />

</div></blockquote></div><br />
<i>(Caspa'): </i>My favorite place in MICHIGAN is Muskegon, where else but Ske-City???<br />
The reason being is this will always be home. No matter how far I go away or I where I move I've always returned to this city I love. I don't really know if it's the people around here, or because this is where my family and friends are but this is my city. This is what I call home.<br />

Valentine's Day has always meant a crappy Hallmark holiday that has left me feeling sorry for the state of American culture. Call me synical, call me unhappy, call me jealous because I have yet to find that "special someone". It's cool. I just know that greeting card holidays aren't really my thing.<br />
And yet, for the first time ever, I'm really looking forward to the pink and red covered calendar day this February. Why, you ask? Because what could turn out to be one of, if not the, best romantic comedy of the year will be hitting theaters.<br />
Watch the trailer for the apporpriatly named "Valentine's Day" and you too will get giddy with excitement. With an all-star ensemble that makes the case of Ocean's 11 pale in comparison... this film already has every element necessary to get me into theaters.<br />
Bradley Cooper.<br />
Patrick Dempsey.<br />
Ashton Kutcher.<br />
And I'm just scratching the surface of the hot men involved in this flick.<br />
For men, there are a series of delights for you too.<br />
Emma Roberts<br />
Julia Roberts<br />
Jessica Biel<br />
Jessica Alba<br />
I'm still stunned I'm usuing all of those names TOGETHER.<br />
<br />
So watch the trailer (below) and get excited for the chocolate love-fest that will be "Valentine's Day."<br />

I think it is one of the best new shows on television... hands down. It crosses genres, takes risks, and tackles the new multi-media cross-platform culture like no other series in history. It's a <i>High School Musical</i> for grown-ups. It makes music, specifically choir and showchoir, cool again... and as someone who was in both all through high school that makes me like it even more.<br />
<br />
It is because of my unyielding devotion to <i>Glee</i> that I bring you today a closer look at one of the series' stars: Mark Salling.<br />
Salling plays "Noah Puckerman" better known as "Puck", the rebel-without-a-cause football playing man whore who also happens to join the showchoir. His role has grown substantially throughout the first half of the season and he now plays a crucial role in a key elemant of the season's plot-arc. It was his recent rendition of "Sweet Caroline", however, that melted my heartstrings.<br />
Watch and fall in love: <br />

Cyrus, 16, took 42 percent of votes in the poll for AOL's <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/nm/music_nm/storytext/us_cyrus/33888145/SIG=10hk8pf72/*http://JSYK.com"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1256753010_1">JSYK.com</span></a> (Just So You Know) website aimed at 9-15 year-olds, pushing <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1256753010_2">Britney Spears</span> and rapper <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1256753010_3">Kanye West</span> into second and third places, respectively, in a section on worst celebrity influences of the year.<br />

Trust me girl, I know the feeling. You see there will always be people out to get here. There will always be jealous idiots who'd rather put her down than admit someone as young as her can simply be just that talented. There will always be those who chalk her fame and success up to that of her one-hit-wonder father. There will always be paparazzi looking for that one out-of-context photo that can ruin her squeaky-clean image and hopefully send her into a full fledged Brtiney/Lindsay-esque melt-down.<br />
I sympathize because, while my demons are on a MUCH, MUCH, smaller scale... like almost everyone else in society they still exist. Like many of you I have battled peer pressure, critics, and a society that would like nothing else than to see you fall flat on your face.<br />
America may be the land of opportunity, but it sure as hell isn't the land of "Let me hold your hand and help you get there."<br />
This is the land of tough-shit, buckle-down, and work your ass off for every opportunity you get.<br />
The kids that voted Miley a bad influence in that poll are probably some of the same teens that are out under-age drinking, bullying their peers, and taking place in other highly hypocritical acts.<br />
When one of them puts out a super-successful TV series, a slew of multi-platinum selling albums, and a pair of box-office return gems... then they can vote however they darn well please.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-46687156359342303182009-10-28T18:42:00.000-04:002009-10-28T18:42:30.827-04:00A Little College Humor Admit it, you've totally watched a Pixar movie at somepoint in the last couple of years.

I LOVE <span style="font-style: italic;">Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 90210, and the Vampire Diaries.</span> I hate the fact that they chose to pick up <span style="font-style: italic;">Melrose Place</span> over a <span style="font-style: italic;">Gossip Girl </span>spin-off. I also hate that they continue to extend the life of <span style="font-style: italic;">Smallville, </span>a show I used to love, making it into a <span style="font-style: italic;">7th Heaven</span> like shell of itself now in its umpteenth year.<br />Today I am in love with the CW's decision to axe Ashlee Simpson-Wentz from the new MP. If you insist on making yet another classic remake, then at least do it justice. Simpson-Wentz ruined that show from the minute she stepped into the frame. Her character, Violet, is creepy, awkward, and her storyline is clearly an outlier in the greater scheme of the show. Executives had to see that everytime Aslee entered the picture she made fans uncomfortable.<br />I only hope the network makes another equally intelligent decision and decides to greenlight the GG spin-off. Brittany Snow deserves to be back on TV again... primetime just isn't the same without her.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-23774821841451335612009-10-26T16:54:00.002-04:002009-10-26T16:58:25.072-04:00Thank You Jib JabJib Jab is wonderful for a myriad of reasons.

I blame it on overindulgence as a youth---I was the kid with the intricate and overdone costumes), this video made me laugh so hard I ALMOST have a new appreciation for the confectioners created celebration of candy.<br />If you enjoy it as well, you can make your own Jib Jab Halloween video (it's great for procrastinating!!).<br /><div style="background-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); width: 425px;"><object id="A64060" quality="high" data="http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/ClientZero_EmbedViewer.swf?external_make_id=H6Z0qjhGTKXVDqH0&service=sendables.jibjab.com&partnerID=JibJab" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="319"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="movie" value="http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/ClientZero_EmbedViewer.swf?external_make_id=H6Z0qjhGTKXVDqH0&service=sendables.jibjab.com&partnerID=JibJab"><param name="scaleMode" value="showAll"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="FlashVars" value="external_make_id=H6Z0qjhGTKXVDqH0&service=sendables.jibjab.com&partnerID=JibJab"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></object><div style="text-align: center; width: 435px; margin-top: 6px;">Try JibJab Sendables® <a href="http://sendables.jibjab.com/ecards">eCards</a> today!</div></div>EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-44056889574215982102009-10-21T18:49:00.005-04:002009-10-21T19:12:04.283-04:00Things I'm Thoroughly Annoyed With Right Now<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/bet-blog/assets/2009/05/heidi_montag_-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 209px;" src="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/bet-blog/assets/2009/05/heidi_montag_-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://khairilhusni.blogmas.com/files/2008/08/taylor-swift-b03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 190px;" src="http://khairilhusni.blogmas.com/files/2008/08/taylor-swift-b03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.mlive.com/kzgazette/opinion_impact/photo/balloon-boy-ab24f75bb636b589_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 183px;" src="http://media.mlive.com/kzgazette/opinion_impact/photo/balloon-boy-ab24f75bb636b589_large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.starsareblind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jon-kate-gosselin.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 278px;" src="http://www.starsareblind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jon-kate-gosselin.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />As a news producer I also am responsible for scouring the entertainment wires on a daily basis to find a handful of stories worthy for the morning show "Breakfast Dish". This seems like it would be an easy task... there's always something going on in the entertainment world, right? WRONG!<br />There are always stories, sure... but never any good ones. The same names pop up time and time again. I'm guilty of feeding into this frenzy. I don't dare count how many Miley Cyrus themed posts have made it on this blog. I dish on the hot topics and buy into the petty gossip like anyone else. But this week... I've decided I've had enough. The same couple of names continue to pop up on the AP wires (and Miley Cyrus isn't even one of them!). Their stories are so over-told and under-developed that I cringe when I read them. Thus I'm creating a list of topics I'm thoroughly annoyed with right now.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/857/857347/keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-20080306085041322_640w.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 249px;" src="http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/857/857347/keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-20080306085041322_640w.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />1) Balloon Boy.<br />I'm not sure if Falcon Heene's story falls under entertainment or news anymore... but it continues to appear in both. This is a family that clearly wanted media attention... so what did America do? We gave it to them. I'm sick to my stomach just writing about this insufferable family that has taken up so much time and money in their attempts seek fame. Congrats you got it... now enjoy the view from your prison cell.<br /><br />2) Jon & Kate Gosselin<br />I didn't care about Jon and Kate when they were together and their show was a ratings hit on TLC. I certainly don't care about them now that they are apart and publicly feuding like a bunch of 12 year old girls. I am not picking a side, as I think they are both equally to blame. Kate has turned into a media whore, while Jon has turned into, well, just a whore. The tragic thing about this saga is that the kids, the focal point of the show that made the family famous, are being left out of the conversation.<br />Imagine ten years from now when they are old enough to go back and look at this media debacle. What are they going to think of their family then?<br /><br />3) Taylor Swift<br />Taylor I love you. I really do. I listen to your music incessantly on my iPod, I supported you whole-heartedly when that ass-hat Kanye West stole your thunder, and I have adored the way you have handled the spotlight in what is a very tough business.<br />So I don't blame you at all for the fact that your name is appearing in every AP wire story under the sun. In today's AP Country wire report you were the subject in three out of the six stories. Much like your friend Miley Cyrus, suddenly everything you say and do is newsworthy. I pray that you don't become trashy tabloid fodder and I continue to see positive headlines with your name attached. My worry is that soon the media will run out of the positive things to say, and they'll start digging to make up salacious rumors. As a result I'd rather not see your name in the headlines at all. I want you to continue rocking out to sold out venues, writing songs about boys who should have been nicer to you in high school, and letting out that curly mess of a blonde mane that has made you so famous.<br /><br />4) The Kardashians<br />I admit I've watched both "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami"... and because of that I am still perplexed as to why this family is famous. Having large... uh hum... "assets" isn't something I think should be worth a reality show. While this family may be fashion forward... their acting skills suck.. which, believe it or not, are really important when you are on TV-reality or not. Kourt's pregnancy, Khloe's marriage... I can't help but wonder how much of those acts were publicity stunts to boost their own Hollywood status. These are girls who HAVE to be in the spotlight... but have nothing to offer.<br /><br />5) Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt<br />I have never watched the Hills... partly because just looking at Heidi Montag makes me want to vomit. When she opens her mouth, things get much---much--- worse. Much like the aforementioned Kardashians, I can't comprehend why these individuals are famous. Heidi may have an album, but her vocal talents are no greater than my own (and that's saying something). Spencer may have a cute face, but his IQ couldn't even get him into Michigan State... and they take just about anyone who applies. Do everyone a favor and step back OUT of the spotlight.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-13558877711669339672009-10-10T18:24:00.002-04:002009-10-10T18:27:15.841-04:00Miley's Goodbye Twitter RapYou've got to be kidding me. Not only did Miley Cyrus delete her Twitter, but she took time to make a video about why. Unreal. The irony... she says in the video she quit tweeting because it took so much time... I wonder how long it took her to come up with this YouTube gem?<br />Also Miley, please stick to pop... unlike Taylor Swift rapping is NOT in your future!<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2tSOTQPUQoU&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2tSOTQPUQoU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />P.S.

Ok, maybe not.<br />But that is what happened to Miley Cyrus. After a tweet mentioned how her "not boyfriend" (read: yes they're dating) Liam Hemsworth wanted her to delete her Twitter account, just like that the whipped little Disney princess did just that.<br />Personally I thought cyber-space was better off... but alas the entertainment and tween world stopped rotating at the thought that their number one source of celeb gossip couldn't communicate with them on a semi-personal level. Thus the crazy Twitter debacle ensued.<br />Leave it up to Miley's dad to use the very site she withdrew from to try and entice her to come back:<br /><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">RT @billyraycyrus Words can hurt worse than bullets True.All the more reason to take this tool and tweet<br /></span></span><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content"><br />RT @billyraycyrus I understand "it is true one bad apple spoils the bunch".But listen to the words of your songs "Stand... for what ya believe in"...Remember?</span></span><br /><br /><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">RT @billyraycyrus Miley. You are a light in a world of darkness. You were born"Destiny Hope Cyrus" for a reason.You can't leave everyone now.We r countin on u</span></span><br /><br /><br />So my question is this... is there a PR person in the background encouraging Billy Ray to get his daughter back in cyberspace? If I were Miley's PR person I'd be wanting her to get back on Twitter...it's free and easy shameless self-promotion. My guess is that it won't be long until @mileycyrus is back up and running again.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-76043661023198695812009-10-09T12:25:00.002-04:002009-10-09T12:36:59.625-04:00I'm Giddy for "Glee"I've written about this topic before... but I feel that it deserves some added attention. If you haven't at least given "Glee" a chance... shame on you.<br />I'm not saying everyone will like it. It's quirky, and different, and certainly breaks the prime-time television mold. But to me, those are all the more reasons to watch.<br />What's even more amazing is the way that "Glee" has managed to take a page out of the Disney playbook and turn this into a multi-media franchise.<br />Much like the way Disney shamelessly cross-promotes "Hannah Montana" to include concert tours and album sales, "Glee" cross-promotes it's killer soundtrack and soon-to-be stars. iTunes doesn't lie. Every week the songs featured in the previous episode of "Glee" are among the site's top sellers. And for good reason... they are catchy, fun, and sometimes even better than the originals.<br />To share my point I've put below my top five "Glee" performances. Watch and I bet even you will take a peek at the show's iTunes page before too long :)<br /><br />It's My Life/Confessions<br /><object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/BVqeVhY0G6O6HBLDIrMtPg/966/1076"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/BVqeVhY0G6O6HBLDIrMtPg/966/1076" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object><br /><br />Halo/Walking on Sunshine<br /><object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/BVqeVhY0G6O6HBLDIrMtPg/1739/1839"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/BVqeVhY0G6O6HBLDIrMtPg/1739/1839" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object><br /><br />Alone<br /><object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/ntmRGLdgIhKOdXvVjui0Pw/1597/1682"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/ntmRGLdgIhKOdXvVjui0Pw/1597/1682" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object><br /><br />Taking Chances<br /><object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/pz7r_JXbbxs1wmN7Dcb77A/1043/1093"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/pz7r_JXbbxs1wmN7Dcb77A/1043/1093" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object><br /><br />Take a Bow<br /><object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/wWTxCVVe4l125QaDCylJDg/2477/2613"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/yahoo/http%3A%2F%2Ftv%2Eyahoo%2Ecom/embed/wWTxCVVe4l125QaDCylJDg/2477/2613" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object>EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-46379355775286832642009-09-29T20:03:00.002-04:002009-09-29T20:11:36.634-04:00Conan does the Tim Tebow!!!Last week, Tonight Show funnyman Conan O'brien took a big spill.

Much like <span style="font-style: italic;">7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> Heaven</span> after Jessica <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Biel</span> left, once the principal characters depart the series tends to hang on by little more than a thread.<br />Shows like <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Smallville</span> </span>only stick around because they are on networks that value EVERY audience member, especially the small cult-followings that keep them running well past their expiration date.<br />Thus <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">CSI</span> is obviously the exception and not the rule. In its 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> season on CBS, the show has lost multiple lead characters (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Warrick</span>, Sara, and Gil <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Grisson</span> have all left their regular roles) and exhausted multiple plot twists (the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">miniature</span> killer, for example)... yet it still remains fresh and enticing, and thus one of the best shows on television.<br />Even with spin-offs trying to snag some of its viewers (<span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">CSI</span>: Miami, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">CSI</span>: New York</span>), and similar crime-driven dramas looking to steal its spotlight (<span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">NCIS</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">NCIS</span>:LA, Cold Case, the Mentalist)</span>-the series continues to plow ahead as if there were no competition at all.<br />For proof I give you 10 Reasons why after 10 seasons, <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">CSI</span></span> is still the best show on TV:<br /><br />1) When it loses a main character, it fills the void in a BIG way. Case in point... by William Peterson, hello Lawrence <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Fishbourne</span>.<br /><br />2) Even the characters who leave the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">series</span> can't stay away... Sara Sidle left, but makes a multi-episode guest stint to start season 10...and it's good to have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Jorja</span> Fox back in Sin City.<br /><br />3) GEORGE <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">EADS</span>. Need I say more? Besides his one bad season sporting a mustache, this man has been perfect in every way, shape, and form. He's hot, talented, and a killer crime-solver. When he almost died a few seasons back I almost stopped watching the series all-together. Thankfully he's still alive and well, and thus my support of the series continues.<br /><br />4) Best season premiere opening sequence ever. I don't want to go into too many details because this you need to see for yourself. Talk about staying fresh and forever reinventing the series... the opening sequence is proof that it's being done on this show. No other series I've seen this season opened with such an explosively powerful visual element.<br /><br />5) The cliff-hanger. Normally season premieres tie up lose ends, not unravel more of them. But, in the case of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">CSI</span>, the season premiere continued to keep audiences hooked by leaving you with a question that will burn through your brain until (hopefully) it is answered in the next episode. It isn't over the top. And it isn't obnoxious... because the episode did provide enough conclusions to make you feel you got your money's worth as well. This is just brilliant writing.<br /><br />6) 10 seasons and the crimes still never get old. I don't know how they do it. I thought they'd run out of clever ways for people to die. But, once again, I am totally wrong. Which each death there is a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">plausible</span> twist that keeps you on your toes.<br /><br />7) Syndication hasn't killed the series, but rather prolonged its life. More people have gotten hooked from the countless episode reruns on Spike than have lost interest. Syndication has also meant you can go back and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">revisit</span> classic episodes that you haven't seen in a while considering the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">show's</span> 10 year run. It's like watching the series all over-again... and falling in love all over again at the same time.<br /><br />8) It hasn't ever jumped the shark. Some series creators get bored with their material (7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">th</span> Heaven) or too cocky in their own abilities (Heroes) and go off on weird plot <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">tangents</span> that cause the series to jump the shark. Never in its 10 seasons has <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">CSI</span> been guilty of either of those two things. At no time have fans been left in shock because of crazy off-beat <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">story lines</span>. The show has stayed true to its purpose and as a result is being rewarded with another season in a top-spot in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">CBS's</span> lineup.<br /><br />9) Special effects lead the way. Other shows wish they could do in one season what <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">CSI</span> does in one episode. For television they have an incredible special effects budget. The use of computer generated material isn't overwhelming, and the added bonus of real scientific strategies makes the audience feel as though you are learning something while watching.<br /><br />10) It has some of the most unique characters in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">television</span>. Hodges. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Grissom</span>. Case in point. Each character is given just enough exposition that you learn their quirks and often their backgrounds, but you are never smothered with characterization to the point that it deprives you from a murderous storyline. Often times the characterization comes as a result of the murder investigation and you don't realize you've even gotten it until all is said and done.EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230949004997828288.post-19548683168154865152009-09-24T21:07:00.003-04:002009-09-24T21:12:21.721-04:00"The Last Song" Gets Pushed BackSorry Miley Cyrus fans... you're going to have to wait another four months to check out her new film "The Last Song". According to the AP wire today the release date got moved from its planned January slot to April 2nd. This move will play into the spring break crowds and hopefully catch what is a coveted week in releases for that age demo.<br /> In the meantime you need to check out the leaked music video for the single from the film, "When I Look at You." The song is on Miley's new EP sold exclusively through WalMart. It will be featured on the film's sountrack and is already occupying a spot on my current iTunes playlist.<br /> You can check it out below (note: Miley's sporting a nose stud during this video... real, or fake?).<br />Also you have until Friday to download Miley's new video for "Party in the USA" from ABC's website (abcmusiclounge.com).<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3cSkwUG5hRg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3cSkwUG5hRg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>EBUZZEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00277199675670697727noreply@blogger.com1
