It’s over. No more will the staff atin New Jersey have to deal with Dr. House. After 8 seasons on FOX, the network is pulling the plug on Hugh Laurie and the rest of its great cast calling this season its last. In a statement from the producers and lead actor Hugh Laurie “the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show…should be the last.”
House (Hugh Laurie)
House has pulled off a long list of 177 episodes over 8 years of airing on FOX. Now in syndication and after several seasons of relatively boring shows the program will come to an end. “The decision to end the show…is a painful one,” said Hugh Laurie and the producers in the statement. “The show itself has been a great source of pride,” the statement continues.
This happens. It really happens. But for this poor woman who is anchoring this newscast, and we won’t mentioned her name because it’s one of those bloopers no one will let her forget, made the twist of words most of us might get fired for saying.
But it’s absolutely funny!
Throw in a sausage event where you have to purchase tickets and the call to action to buy those passes turns from “pick a tick” to “pick a d#@$” when she tries to finish her story.
If this were in Hi Def, you might have seen this poor woman turn red as a fire truck but as she begins to compose herself, her co-anchor throws in a zinger herself which even send her partner deeper in to a play off words morass.
You gotta watch this video. As they say over at TBS, “Very Funny.”
Most of us certainly didn’t see it. A lot of us at least in the older demographic are still trying to figure out just who the hell M.I.A. is and why they were on stage with Madonna, Cee Lo Green and Nicky Minaj.
I love me some Nicky Minaj!
But who is M.I.A.?
SUPER BOWL XLVI - Madonna and Cee Lo Green
Anyway M.I.A. is probably the least known of every name mentioned above and then just what did NBC and the NFL expect? Wouldn’t you expect the least known person on stage to do something really stupid to try to build up their brand on one of the most watched TV shows every year?
Madonna, class. Cee Lo Green, class. Nicky Minaj, and you know I love me some Nicky Minaj, well she’s got class. But M.I.A.? No class but how about a dumb ass.
You get what you get when you lay down with no class. Someone dumb enough to flip the audience the bird during the SuperBowl. Well that dumb ass is M.I.A. when you just have to ask what the hell is an M.I.A.?
Anyway here’s the story from The Associated Press.
Now we’re talking! You want to turn around the struggling fortunes of a show that FOX expected really big things from but got nothing more than mediocrity after its first season, you turn to Beyonce?
Whaaaat!!!!
Beyonce
Yeah because if you want a judge that will bring in a lot of new viewers and keep the old ones you’d better put the cash on the table and bring in someone who is the diva of all divas.
Beyonce just became a new mom and she could have a new job offer that no one, not even Beyonce could pass up if the rumors of what they want to pay her are true. Yes Beyonce could become the highest paid competition judge ever with a potential $100 million deal on the table for her to join FOX’s X Factor.
Apparently Simon Cowell really wants her as he certainly can’t have another so-so viewer level season for the next go round of X Factor. Mariah Carey was rumored to be on Simon’s list as a judge so who knows which way the show will go as they look to replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Sherzinger who both got the boot after season one.
X Factor announced that first season judge L.A. Reid will return for the second arc of X Factor.
Well here we go. SuperBowl XLVI is gone and what I thought would be a really good Madonna halftime show just absolutely sucked.
SUPER BOWL XLVI -- Madonna Press Conference
Too overproduced, too much unneeded pomp and circumstance, Madonna is just too old for trying to make the moves that she tried to make, her new song was just too much Katy Perry and Lady Gaga which means Madonna is trying to make herself viable to an audience that doesn’t feel she’s needed because she’s trying to be something she can never become.
Young again. Madonna can date all of the young 20 somethings she wants but she still will be a 50 something cougar who should be Madonna. Not Katy Perry or Lady Gaga.
In other words, be yourself. Date whatever age you want as long as it’s legal.
Damn girl just be Madonna. Get In To The Groove, Holiday and bring me back to the 80′s but do it in a way that doesn’t embarrass the Madonna brand. That halftime show should have been about Madonna, not about Cee Lo Green or any of the current really cool acts. At some point, the people who produce the SuperBowl Madonna halftime show will realize that it’s OK to have Madonna sing her hits from the past because not everyone is 18 years old and in to Nicky Minaj.
I love me some Nicky though!
Of course the commercials during the game is all the buzz as well. Gotta watch the game and the commercials. In fact this is probably the only time when 176 million people will actually be watching the commercials along with the game along with halftime.
Good for advertisers.
Bad for those who want to use the bathroom during a commercial or halftime break.
Anyway here is a revised list of some of the commercials that you saw during the game.
“It’s not just a web-site. It’s a lifestyle,” is what Zalman King says on zalmanking.com on his brand along withhis incredible career in the TV and film industry.
Zalman King (center)
I gotta say for people in the older demographic of over 40 years of age, Zalman King was the person who first introduced us to what was then termed extreme erotica film-making which the led to television. 9 1/2 Weeks with Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger was a classic sex filled, erotic movie. With class. Two Moon Junction in 1988 with Sherilynn Fenn was simply amazing. Wild Orchidwith once again Mickey Rourke, Jacqueline Bisset and Carrie Otis. What an incredibly sexy, erotic movie.
Zalman King to this writer, was simply amazing.
Red Shoe Diaries on Showtime was another Zalman King work of art in the erotica field now bringing his talent to pay television. And executive producer on Body Language, another series recently on Showtime. Zalman King created quality, upscale close to porn content.
Simply amazing!
Charlie Sheen on his Facebook page wrote “the world lost a brilliant. noble soul today. My dear friend of 40 years, Zalman King, lost his battle to cancer.”
…is Pee Wee Herman still around? Guess he is because Pee Wee Herman is trending big time on the internet today after his appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef: Texas.
Wow!
'Top Chef: Texas' with Pee-wee Herman, Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons
I kinda thought Pee Wee Herman was long gone but he showed up on his bike and became a guest judge on the show. It was Pancakes for Pee Wee during the episode as the contestants were charged with making them for the man really know as Paul Ruebens. The contestants were told to pull off making pancakes for the comic and taking them over to the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas for service to Pee Wee Herman.
Yes this is Top Chef: Texas which airs Wednesday nights at 10PM on Bravo. Check out our photo spread from his appearance on the show.

So Jeff Rossen has now be given a big gig at NBC News and he sure deserves it. A couple of months ago Jeff Rossen did a report on the Today Show which featured unfortunately one of my clients. You just gotta cringe when this guy is in the room interviewing you and quite frankly Jeff Rossen does one heck of a job in exposing the scum of the earth.
I think I’m going to send him the pieces of crap over at Mongo Rewards or Money on the Go. I get emails from people who have been screwed by the slime at Mongo Rewards or Money on the Go who take advantage of people who are in need of quick cash so the low-lifes over at Mongo Rewards or Money on the Go.
Jeff here’s someone you can investigate with your new unit over at NBC News.
Jeff Rossen, Charlie Sheen
Rossen Reports will be a new feature that will air on the Today Show and on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and the new group will use the “hidden camera” approach to prevent the scum like Mongo Rewards or Money on the Go from ripping people off.
This is a real good move because in this tough economy people will do or try anything for a few dollars and to stop people like Mongo Rewards or Money on the Go from stealing money from consumers is a good thing.
“With unmatched passion and curiosity, Jeff continues to find the new story angle that keeps viewers informed,” said Today Show executive producer Jim Bell.
Rossen has grabbed two Emmys for his work at NBC for his investigative work.
Well this is not a good sign for reality competition and could be a sign of a bigger problem for the future of the genre on television. And certainly not good news for FOX.
The unemployment rate in America just got higher over the last few days as FOX Television’s X Factor heads toward a major cast shift after season one of the reality competition show. In other words, X Factor is not American Idol. And even that show is still dropping viewers.
'The X Factor' hosted by (left to right) Steve Jones along with judges Nicole Scherzinger, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and L.A. Reid
Let’s say with clarity that this is not the way Simon Cowell expected his new show to fare on American television. Paula Abdul is now out as a cast member on X Factor joining host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger who have been let go from the show in a massive re-structuring.
Could there be more? And why?
“I want to say a massive thank you to Paula, Nicole and Steve for being a part of ‘The X Factor’ last year,” said Simon Cowell in a statement. Paula responded saying “…business decisions oftentimes override personal considerations” and that “Simon is and will remain a dear friend.”
X Factor pretty much won it’s time period for FOX when it aired but it is business. With what they had to pay cast members along with the winning prize to the final winner, making a profit with such high production costs generally forces this type of change.

Politics is one real bitch isn’t it? Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are at each others throats because each knows one of the will be the nominee for the Republican party to face President Barack Obama in November. I mean really at each others throat. With a knife, a shank like they have in prison, a machete, one of those really cool steak knives they give you at Stephen Starr’s Barclay Prime steak joint on Rittenhouse Square in downtown Philadelphia.
I almost took that knife home after I devoured that Kobe steak which was just freaking awesome.
Mitt Romney
Now the campaign of both of these combatants has become so nasty that Mitt Romney has pissed off Tom Brokaw, the past face of NBC Nightly News as a commercial set to run on TV in Florida includes his brand in the content. Yes Mitt Romney has stooped so low that he is running a commercial that has Tom Brokaw giving a news report about Newt Gingrich’s messy past as Speaker of the House back in the good old bad days for Newt.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and NBC's Tom Brokaw
NBC News and Tom Brokaw have asked Mitt Romney’s camp to pull the commercial. And Mitt Romney is so on a mission to destroy Newt Gingrich that his waved the middle finger at NBC’s request.
Wow!
Here’s the commercial. Oh this political season will prove to be the nastiest ever. And it’s going to be a lot of fun.
