Top Five Best (of the Worst) “American Idol” Auditions

Posted on 18. Feb, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, Remy Carreiro, tv

There is never a shortage of people who enjoy watching others make fools of themselves.

Fortunately, there’s also never a shortage of people willing to make fools of themselves for a shot at fame and recognition, so it is like a pop culture version of the circle of life. One cannot exist without the other. And nowhere is this love of failure and humiliation more evident than the American Idol auditions.Read More »

Gotta Feed Those Egos

Posted on 18. Feb, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, Grammys, Remy Carreiro, tv

There were some moments during prior Grammy celebrations that were truly memorable. Moby, Blue Man Group, and Jill Scott doing Natural Blues in 2006 was a truly stunning spectacle; there have been other moments throughout the years that were really impressive (anyone else remember Michael Jackson's first moonwalk?), but lately it just seems as if the Grammys are trying too hard.Read More »

The Future of TV

Posted on 15. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, Abby Lee Hood, meanwhile on the internet, streaming, tv

More and more former cable customers are dropping their subscriptions, along with the payments those subscriptions require. They’re switching to the faster, tailored streaming options offered through Internet TV. Streaming costs less money than a cable subscription, and it has on-demand options so that you can watch what you want, when you want. The latest of these options is a little box that streams content live. Read More »

They See Dead People – Or Do They?

Posted on 18. Jan, 2013 by Sara LeDuc in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, mediums, Sara LeDuc, tv

I don’t know about you, but I am definitely totally addicted to watching Long Island Medium on TLC. Not only is Theresa Caputo hilarious and compassionate, but it is just so crazy to see her read people the way she does.

I know what you’re thinking, though: It’s a reality television show and probably 100 percent fake.Read More »

Season 12 of AI premiered this week. What did you think of the new judges?
Season 12 of AI premiered this week. What did you think of the new judges?

I remember a time not so long ago when American Idol meant gathering at someone’s house with a group of my friends to excitedly watch and discuss. We loved it all – the atrocious auditions, the judges’ critiques (the show has never been the same to me since Simon left), and the really great performances as stars emerged. Read More »

Posted on 21. Dec, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, Jordan Alexis, music, tv, X Factor

If you’ve been following this season of The X Factor, you probably already know that (spoiler alert) country crooner Tate Stevens, 37, walked away for the $5 mil recording contract on the finale, beating out sweet, 13-year-old Carly Rose Sonenclar (Brit-Brit’s last horse in the race) and Simon’s manufactured  girl group, Fifth Harmony.Read More »

Real-Life Hunger Games?

Posted on 19. Dec, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Entertainment Madness, Quirked, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, tv

It seems that someone didn’t get the social commentary in The Hunger Games. In fact, a whole network didn’t really clue in. They didn’t see the comparison between the Capitol and our society, or between the annual Games and our reality television shows. Well, maybe they did see the latter comparison, because they’ve decided that it would make a great reality TV show concept – in real life!Read More »

Posted on 03. Sep, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of TV, gossip, Melissa DeLara, soaps, tv

It’s like when your boyfriend tells you, “It’s not you, it’s me.” General Hospital fans are reeling from being “dumped” by Steve Burton, who has portrayed Jason Morgan (Quartermaine) on the ABC daytime soap opera since 1991. Through the years, we have watched Jason handle life, love, and loss. Now we are left with one question: “How can we say goodbye?”Read More »

10 Highs (and Lows) From Miss USA Pageant

Posted on 05. Jun, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of TV, Ali Elizabeth, Miss USA, tv

: It may be an outdated and sexist spectacle, but that didn’t stop millions from tuning into the annual Miss USA pageant last night. The two-hour showcase progressed pretty steadily, as the group of 51 contestants was trimmed down to 16, and then 10, and then 5 before the final placements were announced. There were few newsworthy incidents during the pageant (no viral videos on controversy this year), but there were certainly some highs and lows…Read More »
