This once again is the real part of reality television that nobody likes to bring to the forefront.  And that is the people on some of these shows have some real personal issues that lead to this type of tragedy.  Sadly enough this is not the first reality show person to commit suicide.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Russell and Taylor Armstrong

Russell Armstrong, husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Taylor Armstrong, took his life several weeks before the re-launch of the show on Bravo.  The 47 year old venture capitalist, who was going through some very serious financial issues, was found hanged in the bedroom of a house in Los Angeles.

Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce from her husband last month which details of their issues would be part of this seasons series of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episodes.  The new second season is expected to begin on September 5th yet no word from Bravo on the status of that date. But the Hollywood Reporter is saying that the network will wait 24 hours before deciding on the future of the show.  Which in the TV business means he’s gone, we can get ratings and the show must go on.

Bravo said it was “deeply saddened by this tragic news” yet have not determined how to deal with Russell Armstrong’s death during the show.

In an interview with People Magazine Russell had enough of being on the show saying “this show has literally pushed us to the limit.”

So here I am, a former owner of a comedy club back in Philly, opened right after the popularity of Def Comedy Jam on HBO.  That was a time when great comics like David Chappelle was nothing more than a 19 year old kid from New York and everyone said I should get him in my room which then was called The All New Comic Stop Comedy Club.

That was a fun time in my life.

So I never thought we would return to those good old days of really funny Def Comedy Jam type comedy.  But I have to admit that In The Flow with Affion Crockett was one the funniest shows I’ve watched in a while.  I just laughed my a$# off for a whole hour and I generally think shows like this are pretty much ghetto.

In The Flow With Affion Crockett on FOX

There were more bleeps in this show than you can imagine in any network show.  This seemed like a show for a pay television network.  And I kinda thought Jaime Foxx, the executive producer of  In The Flow with Affion Crockett sold out with a Step N Fetchit routine that I would not like.

But this s&^% was funny.  Really funny.  I looked at Affion Crockett’s content online and thought it was pretty ghetto but what I saw last night on my DVR from FOX was really f%$#&ing funny.

I’m just trying to stay in character here with the number of bleeps in the premiere episode last night.

Can it continue its attraction to uppity Negroes, bourgeoisie brothers that grew up in the hood but knew they needed to fit in to the mainstream effort that made me what I am today, I think so.  That show was really funny.  I’m still laughing at some of the content that was put in last night’s episode and looking forward to more.

Yes, it is me, Rick Thomas saying this.  I know, I know this is not me but Affion Crockett is really funny.  Great show.

Well the first movie was a blockbuster for Sex And The City but the second one, well just about nobody liked it except for real true fans of the TV show and the first movie.  So if at second film you don’t succeed, to heck with it says the people behind the concept that won’t be going to a third round but could be returning on the little screen in our homes.

Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis

A source on conversation with the UK’s Daily Mail Online, and there was absolutely no hacking involved to get this story, said “ultimately Darren Star (Sex And The City creator) will have the overall say but everyone is agreed that a (Sex And The City) TV show is the direction.”

Sarah Jessica Parker is set to produce the rumored return to television for Sex And The City.  And apparently she is on board for the television version rather than the third movie since “she was worried about doing another film after the bad reaction’ to the second movie.

That comment from the same Daily Mail Online source.

There’s a new sheriff in Castle town for the fourth season of the really well performed and produced show.  And she’s got some serious credentials to bring to the precinct when she becomes the new captain in charge of the crime fighting duo Richard Castle (Nathan Filian) and his partner Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) on the ABC drama.

Penny Johnson Jerald Joins ABC's 'Castle'

Their new boss is Victoria ‘Iron’ Gates in the form of well know TV series performer Penny Johnson Jerald.  Her last big role was that of Sherry Palmer, wife of David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) on the FOX series 24.  And that’s where she picked up the attitude that she sure will bring to Castle when it returns this fall to ABC.

Last season’s finale brought the end to Captain Roy Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) who was killed off of Castle. Penny Johnson Gerald’s character replace Montgomery as she comes from the rat squad or Internal Affairs to take over the 12th precinct.

She was the lead in the CBS summer replacement series that ran for a short time back in 2009 and she was solid.  That was the 1970′s set old school show Swingtown.  A relative newcomer to American television starting with HBO’s Deadwood, Molly Parker is set to return to network TV opposite Josh Lucas in the NBC new series The Firm.

Molly Parker from 'Swingtown' to 'The Firm'

So here’s the issue that LionsGate hopes to test and answer.  Sales and rentals of DVD’s is dropping faster than a blue chip stock on Wall Street and there’s a lot of concern about the future of the industry.  So the big time movie company is going to take one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and put him to the test, featuring Twilight‘s Taylor Lautner in the upcoming action thriller Abduction 90 days after its theatrical release via video on demand.

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart - "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"

So here’s the timetable for all of you Taylor Lautner fans.  Abduction is set to hit your local movie theater on September 23rd.  You will be able to get the movie via pay television on December 23rd but for only 10 days.  That’s it.  And the DVD release is set for sometime in January.

And get this.  Normally when new movies are released via pay television users have a $29.99 fee for being able to view the flick at home.  Well Taylor Lautner’s Abduction will be tested at the really low rental price of $6.99 in standard def  and $7.99 in high def during that10 day period.

All video on demand options will have access to the film including retailers WalMart and Best Buy.

One more time, the media, especially the morning shows on network television, have their BREAKING NEWS story.  Another blond, white woman is missing in Aruba and once again the media is going ape you know what over this case of a blond dimwit who met her fate after meeting a scumbag on Match.com.  And now this story will do nothing more than dredge up the Natalee Holloway case which took place in the same resort destination.

So let me start with this first.  Let’s start with Match.com so that I can officially warn women about any dating site, but we will start with Match.com.

I was on Match.com.  I met a lot of women on Match.com.  A lot.  Southern California is a great place to meet women, on Match.com.  I recommend it to everybody.

Now let’s talk about some of the wackos I’ve met on Match.com.  And anyone that has been on Match.com for any length of time, like 24 hours, will have the same stories I have from the wackos on Match.com.  But I still recommend it.  The last woman I met when I was on Match.com, well I asked that famous question.

“Have you ever been arrested?”

Usually I get a quick “no” but this time I got a story.  About her meth binge which led to a high speed car chase down the Pacific Coast Highway near Laguna Niguel, California with her in the driver’s seat followed by several responding vehicles with flashing red lights attached to the roofs, subsequently flipping her two seater over a bridge, into the water where my date sitting in front of me had to swim to shore to then be arrested, facing several Class A felonies.

“Check please!,” I say immediately.

“What about dessert?,” she says.

“Oh you can stop and pick up Twinkies at a 7-11,” I say summoning the server.

What am I saying?  I’m gonna be the for real Negro here.  And say to all women.  FOR THE LAST TIME, FOR THE VERY LAST TIME, DO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON ANYBODY YOU MEET ONLINE!!!!

How’s that?

If you follow my guide here and I’m going to be a real asshole about the following statement, you won’t end up missing in a body of water or beat the hell up on the floor of your apartment by your date from Match.com.  In addition if you follow my guide here, one more time, I will not have to endure another ongoing story about a missing, blond white woman in Aruba.

You got my drift here?

People need to begin to learn one word.  Judgment.  Judgment.  Every bottom feeding, scum sucking, low-level piece of crap is on the Internet.  And if you’re stupid enough not to do a background check on them, especially from a dating site, which will take you 5 minutes and under $5, then your next match could be you matching the bottom of the ocean somewhere around Aruba.

So now I gotta watch this crap on TV again for the next year.  Damn!!!!

Well the tour is over but Miranda Cosgrove is telling some that her tour bus driver may have saved her life after an accident that put a cast on her ankle.  The ICarly star was on her tour bus in the midst of her Dancing Crazy Summer Tour when the vehicle crashed in to an overturned tractor trailer.

Miranda Cosgrove "Seventeen" Magazine Cover Signing at Borders Books in New York City

Five other persons were on her tour bus at the time of the accident.  The bus was headed to Kettering, Ohio and for a show last night and Wichita, Kansas for a Friday event and of course those concerts have been canceled.  As well as the rest of her tour this summer.

The bus was traveling at night when it came upon the overturned tractor trailer and according to a report by TMZ.com the bus driver drove head on to the truck rather than swerve to avoid the mishap in front of him.  That move apparently is why she’s telling others that her tour bus driver saved her life.

Along with the broken right ankle, Miranda also broke her right baby toe.  Her mom, who was also on the bus, was banged up a bit as well during the accident.

Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora aren’t messing around.  They obviously are pretty clear headed when it comes to their very attractive 13 year old daughter as they said to Ava Sambora “honey step in front of that camera.”  Yes Ava Sambora is stepping past the runway to get her first movie gig in the Judd Apatow spinoff from his Knocked Up creation.

Ava Sambora will have a small role in the as Variety is calling it a cameo shot with Apatow’s daughter Maude.  She’ll play the sister of Judd’s daughter’s character according to the publication.

Ava Sambora already as mentioned did her first modeling gig promoting Richie Sambora’s White Trash Beautiful clothing line when she was only 12 years old.

Of course Heather Locklear has been all over television during her career appearing in Melrose Place and T.J. Hooker, although we could have mentioned a bigger TV show like Dynasty but when would we ever mention T.J. Hooker in any conversation?

I think most politicians are stand up comedians.  Meaning that whatever comes out of their mouths is a joke.  I voted for this current President and except for health care I’m not sure what else I can point to that he’s done.  But he’s not alone.  We have the followers of Jesus in Rick Perry, then there’s the homophobic crazy woman Michele Bachmann, the guy that I listen to when I need to fall asleep in Tim Pawlenty and the pizza guy Herman Cain who reminds me of that guy that ran for Governor in New York, you remember “the rent is too damn high” candidate.

Then there’s Mitt Romney.  Trying to hold on to anything that would make him President.  But he’s about ready to get his ass kicked out of the top position by the second coming of Jesus and the homophobic Congresswoman.

So why do I have a problem with Barack Obama?  After listening to these whacks Barry doesn’t sound so bad does he.

But Mitt Romney just got whacked himself in Iowa.  He’s not going to raise taxes and keep sending jobs overseas yet still thinks he can be President.  He keeps running every four years and never gets the nomination.  What the hell’s wrong with that guy?

Anyway now Republicans are getting beat up on the trail because of their direction for the country.  Just watch this appearance by Mitt Romney.  Doesn’t turn out well but as I always say to Democrats and Republicans, welcome to the party pal!
