American Idol: Did the Top 10 Rock You?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
Weeks of grueling eliminations, group practice sessions, and Ford commercial shoots all boil down to the Top 10 on American Idol. Like it or not, this group will go on tour and join the pantheon of former Idols, forever to be interviewed, followed, and gossiped about for as long as the public finds them interesting. They were told to choose songs recorded in the year of their birth, given one of the world’s biggest stages, and set forth to either astound, or aggravate, all of us. So…how’d they do?

Richie Sambora Pulled Over for Drinking
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Drunk, Legal Issues,
UPDATE: The story just became much sadder. It turns out Richie wasn’t alone when he was pulled over. His current girlfriend, daughter and another young girl were inside the car at the time.
Poor Ava Sambora. In the past month, the young girl has seen both of her parents thrust into the media spotlight…and for less than happy reasons.
Back on March 8, the 10-year-old’s mother (Heather Locklear) had paramedics make a surprise visit to her home. Someone from outside her residence called 911 believing the actress was suicidal. (She claims she wasn’t.) Now - just more than two weeks later - Ava’s dad is having is own turn with the authorities.
TMZ reports that rocker Richie Sambora was pulled over late last night when he was spotted driving erratically. After the Laguna Beach officers stopped him, the musician failed several field sobriety tests and was promptly detained. Sambora has since been released from custody.

When Apple products don’t “just work”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, PC / Laptop,
Apple loves to tout that PC users should switch to Macs because they “just work”. Now, we’ve enjoyed what has been a mostly blissful love affair with Apple products over the past few years, save for a few problems here and there. When an issue has come up, we’ve found that Apple was quick to the rescue (in some cases, we needed to make sure we were actually at a Genius Bar that was competent) and fixed our issues. Sure, the iPhone has had a few annoyances here and there, but overall, we’ve been pleased.
However, our pal Xavier over at Notebooks.com has recently experienced what has to be one of the oddest bouts of bad luck with Apple products I’ve ever seen. From two dead iMacs, to a completely dead MacBook Pro battery, to multiple iPhones malfunctioning. To top all that off, he is even experiencing the delay of a third-party Apple accessory he is waiting on, because the manufacturer is saying Apple is taking their time on certifying the product.
It happens to all companies out there friends. Even the “almighty” Apple isn’t immune. Hit the Read More link below for the full scoop.

Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
The division of the sexes formally ended on tonight’s Dancing with the Stars: Season 6. All twelves couples gathered for their last chance to dazzle the viewers before Tuesday’s dreaded double-elimination.
Last week, Adam Carolla and Monica Seles scraped the bottom of the scoring barrel (15 points each) while Mario and Kristi Yamaguchi (24 and 27 points, respectively) made it known they were the ones to look out for. How did the celebrities fare with Monday’s dances? Did they do anything in their second outing to change their standing in the competition?

In the Mold: What Does it Take to Win American Idol?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Kelly Clarkson. Fantasia Barrino. Taylor Hicks. Carrie Underwood. Ruben Studdard. Jordin Sparks. Put them together and it’s hard to find one common element - other than the fact that they can all sing. But here’s the thing - many of the contestants on American Idol can carry a tune. Winning the show takes a whole lot more than sensational singing. What does it take to win American Idol?
The hot button issue for this year’s crew of competitors is sexual orientation. The Internet community is alive with comments, videos, and hooplah regarding the sexual preference (real or imagined) of Season Seven’s best and brightest singing talents. As far as fans know, a homosexual has never won American Idol. Some say that one will never win on the show.

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/24)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): The overly-promoted Britney Spears cameo finally airs tonight. Let’s just be happy the show is only 30-minutes long.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Nicole Scherzinger gives the girls tips on vocal expression. Sadly, advice on releasing solo albums is not something she can dish out.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): New episode. “A bride is murdered at her wedding. The investigation takes the CSIs to a strip club where the bachelor party took place.” Strip club? This would be the perfect time for another Elizabeth Berkley appearance.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season premiere. I wonder if LC wore any of her own designs in Paris. Doubt it.

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10: Top Model Takes It to the Streets
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Editorial, Features,
Last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10 really highlighted the varying levels of confidence within that New York City loft. We had a girl who loved to talk about herself in third person; the girl who studied hard to make herself better; and the girl who wasn’t quite sure if she still belonged in the competition.

Does Lindsay Lohan Have a Sex Tape?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Videos, Oops Videos,
(UPDATE: Calum’s rep denied the sex tape rumors to Us Magazine. “Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s not Calum in the tape.” But is it Lindsay??)
It looks like DUIs have become so 5 minutes ago. Sex tapes are now the latest trend in Hollywood.
Just a few days ago, rumors of a possible Kristin Davis sex tape ran wild across the internet. Now a video involving our favorite girl, Lindsay Lohan, may be coming to light.
According to The Sun, there is a supposedly a clip being spread online of Lindsay during her time with British TV personality Calum Best. (The two dated last year before her stint in rehab.) Supposedly the clip of Lohan ‘performing an act’ was taken with Calum’s cell phone. A snippet of that video was shared with friends; a possible extended version may be leaked later.
Needless to say, Linds is reportedly freaked out by the matter. She apparently didn’t know that she was being filmed. (Maybe that’s why she went into rehab?) Just last year, she was telling People that her new boyfriend was “a nice guy.” Methinks she’ll be retracting that statement soon.

Survivor Micronesia: Like a Wide-Eyed Kid in the Candy Store!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Editorial, Features,
On tonight’s episode of Survivor: Micronesia, the castaways were really starting to feel the effects of their long stay on the island. After over two weeks in the game, the survivors were starting to grate on each other’s nerves. The miserable weather was also taking a toll on their psyches. Who was able to power through – and who just had to throw up their arms and quit?
Frustrated by the lack of eggs they were receiving, a hungry Tracy suggested killing off one of Malakal’s three resident chickens. If they weren’t going to put out, she was going to cut them up. Ozzy, knowing that he could always fish for more food, thought that this was a ridiculous idea. The birds were still producing, just not as many as she would like. Why would she get rid of a renewable source? Ozzy’s bossiness, of course, frustrated underdog Tracy because he was acting like a “kingpin”. Not only was he the retriever of the food, he was also the decision-maker on when they would eat it as well.
