Seriously, I just walked off a red eye flight from LA cum San Diego and will recap the shit out of this most amazing and generous event, The Veronica Mars Bloggers Press Day 2006! I was lucky enough to be 1 of 9 chosen to attend and basically it was poop your pants incredible but first I must sleep with dreams of Ryan Hanson and Jason Dohring in my head. "The Shocker" never seemed so HOT!

NY POST POSTS BLUTH BAIL?

According to numerous sites (tvguide for one):

Apparently the NYPOST is reporting that not only has Showtime picked up "Arrested Development" they've signed it for 26 episodes. If this is true, I'm a happy happy happy man this morning! Not only did I just return from the set of "Veronica Mars" but now Baby Buster might live on and get that hand transplant after all!

I'm only passing along other info folks!

Amazing Race - Celebrity Edition?



Wait, when did Peter Jackson and Peter Horton sign up for The Amazing Race? What - soap much?

***Update 3/1/06: Completely forgot this show was premiering last night, that is disheartening.

American Idol - 12 Guys and Counting...



I will say one thing for the men of American Idol Season 5 � they�ve got quite the amount of personality between them all! Each one is a character no matter how good or how bad they sing they had something to say and something memorable about them (more than I can say about the whole middle section of girls that performed). Each one was happy and nervous just trying to get through their first studio/live performance and interacted with the judges and with Seacrest.

If someone tells me that creepy Aiken alike alien head Patrick Hall is married to that lip monster that was in the audience I will absolutely die. She had bigger lips than that lion woman Jocelyn Wildenstein � maybe she was that tranny freakshow Amanda Lepore � all I know is that this Patrick kid is from Vegas so she sooooo could be an aged ex-showgirl that he met in an AA meeting or something. Creeps me out!

Crooner David Radford, this little kid is like the cutest thing on earth and I�m going to jail for even typing that. He�s just so wholesome and precious with his little crooner ways and winning clean cut American smile. This Crazy Little Thing Called Love � don�t know about �love� but he had the crowd jumping and he had some Elvis swivels here and there� enough to carry him on another week.

Will Makar � everyone sounds like little Mikey Jackson when they are 7 years old� you�re not talented.

Bucky Covington � for real? I can barely look at him let alone stand the gravel strain in his voice. Not a fan nor am I a fan of Chin-Strap Elliot Yamin � if he sang the best of all the males apparently my hearing aid was turned off. Maybe I just can�t look past that face, those teeth, and those elfish ears � didn�t this kid knock up Britney Spears?

No Sway I�m digging this kid�s vibe. I have to admit, I do not think I am ready for his jelly� or that hat. Simon was so right, there was something Pimpy about it all � and not in a good smack Pam Greer around sorta way.

Kevin Covais � My little heart just goes out to this deer in the head lights. He actually does have an okay voice though, if he can just learn to relax he�ll be fine. I love his parents too, they must be beyond proud of their kid.

Gedeon, last week at work I circulated his �contestant� picture from idolsonfox.com and just could not believe those teeth and that wide ass smile. It�s quite amazing. As much as �Shout� is a gimmick song, it worked for this kid. I enjoyed it! Simon, love ya for the mouth comment. LOVE YA!

Now it�s time to get to the Mayor of HalloweenTown from Nightmare Before Christmas Mr. Bobby Bennett this kid is high-sterical! I cannot even look at him without laughing look at that �contestant� picture of him, it�s just funny. He�s a big, jolly, effeminate, Maniloving fool and I love every second of it! He is too much and I keep expecting him to pull of a Cher lick his lips move at the end of every song. Genius!

Chris Daughtry, there is something hot about this bald man, I know� I know� I�m crazy but there is something sexy in his strong confident attitude. Like Bo Bice last season, he seems the most at ease and natural performing. It fits him well, all I�m saying.

Ace, I still don�t trust his well planned hair, scruff, and rosy cheeks but I can tell ya, there were a many in American that wanted to call him Daddy last night! Paula, honestly � do you wonder how these sexual tryst allegations arise? Put a towel under her Coke cup, drool much?

And now my man, Taylor Hicks! I LOVE TAYLOR HICKS! He lives, breathes, and feels music in his soul. Taylor Hicks is that kind of guy that has 4000 vinyl records in his apartment and knows everything about everyone of them. He too is a natural and deserves to be final 4!

Paula�s Poodle Pound � Not yet. Give it more time Paula � why you gotta be like Randy?

Does UPN Pawn Z-List Reality Stars Onto Veronica Mars?


photo: UPN

I�m serious in asking this multi-part question� Does Veronica Mars have any say in who guests on their fabulous show and do these random Z-List reality whores hurt the integrity of the show?

Now before anyone goes freaking out on me, I�m not talking about the Joss Whedon�s or Kevin Smith�s of the cameo world. I�m talking about America�s Next Top Model�s Naima who apparently played a bigger role than we imagined when she was driven off that cliff in the season premiere. I�m talking about America�s Next Top Model�s butch dyke Kim as a begrudged car rental agent. I�m talking about the biggest loser of them all, Laguna Beach�s (as her �Let�s Get This Party Started� was promptly canned so she can be known once again for her bitchy self�) Kristin Cavalleri who will be playing a �closeted� gay cheerleader when Mars returns in March.

Sure, they�re fun pop cultural references to spot in random episodes but is there a purpose beyond what seems to be �Why Not?� Is Rob Thomas sitting in his $4000 shower crying that UPN is forcing cross-over cameos or is he sitting there brainstorming with UPN suits about which ones will bring in more viewers? I�m not saying it�s really hurting or helping the show, I�m just saying that it�s an interesting pattern we�re seeing. It�s not like Ant from VH1�s Celebrity Fit Club is popping by as their flamboyant drama coach � the cameos are kept in the �family� so to speak. Ponder and get back to me.

Has Bode Miller Ever Skiied Before?

Is "SKIIED" a word? Is that the spelling? I am so not an English major.

For real all we've heard about is his cruddy performance and lack-luster abilities. How on earth has this man become such a revered figure and was the pressure too much? Duckyxdale investigates... or not. I just read that he has now "rolled his ankle" but will ski anyway!

Bode, take a hint from Kwan... bow out buddy. The granola set won't stone you for it.

American Idol - 12 Girls and counting...



American Idol - 12 Girls and Counting...

I just bought me a ticket on a Midnight Train to Georgia! Sweet Jesus, I love that little 17 year old girl and her Saturday Night Fever flip-hairdo! Paris brought more personality and excitement to this show than any other and I was flipping out at how good different she was from previous episodes! Go Girl! The last time I felt the jeebies while an Idol contestant sang was when Carrie Bland-erwood belted out one fucking incredible "Alone" by Heart! Chills.

Now my girl Mandisa rocked the Heart action like only a true American Idol could! Fat Nancy Wilson better be thanking her twinkies that these kids keep brining back her songs! Sure she's big but only a big girl could belt out a tune meant for such attitude and intensity! Incredible job!

Melbatoast McPhee also brought it tonight! I felt like for the first time in this competition she actually stuck out! Besides that, she reminds me a little of Rachel Ray who I happen to find quite enjoyable to watch!

Who else?

For real, Kinnick - is that her name? Was it just me or did she not do her best Angelina Jolie tonight with that outfit, the hair and those lips?

Hi, Michaela Gordan we've got a new annoying screen hog and her name is Brenna. That girl is on a midnight train to sex scandal with Simon! Watch your ass British Man!

A bunch of blonde blahs...

Oh and Jon had this to say about Alana Miles, er, Becky O'Donahue: "She'd sound much better with that stripper pole!"

No he didn't!

Tomorrow night we get the guys and I for one am looking forward to watching awkward awkwards alot Kevin Covais strut his stuff. Maybe a little Twisted Sister or possibly some Manilow. Blushing all around. Til then folks...

My Name Is Sayid Jarrah and I am a Torturer!


It's kinda hot this torture business!

First we got Ethan Rome, now Henry Gale (Wizard of Oz). 2 literary references of sorts and 2 Others! Apparently those Others have a lot of reading time on their hands in between kidnappings! Gotta pass the time somehow.

I was pissed that I missed the Kate picture in the truck at the end. Duh, her Dad was a retired military guy how did I not piece together that THIS WAS KATE'S DAD IN THE TRUCK WITH SAYID?!! I absolutely love how everyone has overlapped in one way or another. What I don't love is being asked if that was Kate in the picture by a coworker that I usually point the Easter Eggs out to! DAMN YOU AMY!!!! Good catch!

Clancy Brown, I miss you without the tattoos and blood pouring from you eyes, RIP "CARNIVALE"

The clock hit 000.00 and we got some shimmy shaking, rumbly noise and some black and red scary hieroglyphics of which I only caught a flame and an arrow I think. Must rewatch in slow-mo tonight! Could the symbols match each of the hatch symbols? The arrow was in the newest hatch Dharma logo wasn't it? Christ...

Sawyer is pure evil btw - happy charming and apologetic one second and then crushing a poor tree frog in his hand the next. Poor thing!

"We are all Others!"

And um, Charlie is soooo going to die by the end of the season. Think about it. Besides my not caring at all if he lives or dies - he crossed the line with Claire and Locke. He tried to kidnap Sun to put fear into everyone and cause the chaos Sawyer wanted. Now Sayid is tempting Charlie with Ethan's hanging incident. Charlie is a pawn and will end up dead (I hope) before this season closes. So sayeth ME!


**UPDATE:
From my friend Donna courtesy of some fancy web folk...

The hieroglyphics mean "CAUSE TO DIE" See pic here

Guess that blows my Dharma logo theory out of the water... DAMN!

Veronica Mars - Scheduling Updates

From UPN:
Veronica Mars is facing a lot of competition in February, so to protect the series and to make sure that as many people as possible can watch the original episodes, we're going to air repeats for the next few weeks. The good news is that when Veronica returns some time in early March, we'll have nothing but original episodes through the season finale - so the goal here is, after this, no more repeats.

Arrested Development Finale


ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (SERIES?) FINALE

For real, it's over? No more Michael? No more Ganghi? No more Tobias and his ever evolving sexual orientation? No more magic? It was sad to know this is more than likely the end of one of televisions most provocative, smart, demanding, and down right brilliant shows ever. Buster said it best... "Oh Come On!"

As Michael teared up during his last speech before sailing off into the sunset with his son George Michael, I couldn't help wonder if his (read: mine) tears were real or all for show? (I know they were fake and the Bluth family reaction to displaying an actual emotion was one of disgust and embarassment - similar to the look Jon was giving me at the same moment - it's a TV show for fucks sake). Alas, it's over and I barely feel like I had time to process the wealth of humor in these final 4 episodes. Let's try...

- Lindsay's adopted... and 40!
- George Michael and Maeby were married - but in the end it's okay, they're only adopted cousins afterall!
- The real Saddam lives in a Bluth Model Home with numerous Saddam decoys.
- "The Cheney Expressway was backed up all the way to Halliburton Road"
- The multiple nods to Rita (MR.F and the paper announcement were not to be topped by Michael's "that's retar..." refrain).
- Annyong... Hello... Annyong... Hello? The Frozen Banana Stand War rages on!
- Tobias and Lindsay are into Man Michael and Woman Michael who happen to be the same person.
- Lucille is the real brains behind the whole family and George Sr. is just a pawn in her game.
- Nellie Bluth is both Lindsay's real name and the name of a hooker that's "blown - you forgot to say 'away'" them all! Frank (Franklin the puppet and Gob is her pimp)!
- Franklin's "George Bush Does Not Care About Black Puppets" shirt!!!
- Judge Reinhold and the Hung Jury. "My Name's Judge"
- Buster's fake coma and the horrid things he endured - most frightening were the horny gay Senator and the Cosmetic Surgery Training (oh those collagen injections almost made me pee).
- Anne (her?) is dating Gob.
- Black Friday!

After I rewatch these episodes, I'm sure there will be 100 more things to laugh and cry about! I will miss my Bluth's and their sadistic sense of humor. A part of me died this weekend, I hope FOX is happy about that.

Arrested Development Finale TONIGHT!

I'm not even going to talk about the finale tonight because it makes me sick! But I just popped on over to the Fox.com and there is only mention of it in a little box on the left hand side. The main attraction of the page is that stupid new show FREE RIDE. HOW DO THEY NOT PROMOTE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? That just makes me want to spit.

Grey's Super 'sode!

I hadn�t had a chance to comment until now which just happens to come the morning after the re-airing of the Code Black episode! Seriously this show was an actual nail-biter and nothing was more intense than the last 10 minutes after Dr. Milton�s creepy �pink mist� talk to an already frazzled (and un-f�ing believable) Christina Ricci ripping her hand out of the chest cavity and Dufus Meredith sliding her hand in bombastic place. AMAZINGLY intense and emotional.

When I rewatched the ending last night (for the 3rd time) I got teary eyed when Meredith and Christina peer in on poor Ambulance Hannah shaking ALONE with the body � it�s such an incredibly shocking shot that it just hits you in the face with its solitary sadness. The best shot of the season! And why wouldn�t you just stop pumping that air bag? �Whoops, everyone he died� cut him open and get this thing out so I can live!�

Kyle Chandler, HELLO MY FRIEND, HELLO! He was one of my first male celebrity crushes when I was younger as a kid watching �Homefront.� He looks just as good today and I would love to see his Bomb Squad leader go toe to toe with McDreamy!

Is it wrong to kinda wish Meredith becomes �pink mist�? Is that wrong?

Shonda Rhimes has a blog for the show and it is a great read, she is so thankful and gracious to the fans for their undying support. Check it out!

The Office - Dwight K. Schrute's Blog

Dwight's blog entries are always funny, but this week's Valentine's Day blog is high-sterical!

Valentine's Day


Valentines day is almost on top of us.

You know what that means. Love is in the air. Romance is in the air. And PROFITS are in the air. Yes, don't rub your eyes, you read correctly, i said "Profits".

Fact: Valentines day was created by the flower companies and the hallmark company AND chocolate companies and companies that create little plastic cupid creatures containing candy and fluffy what-nots.

THEY started valentines day to sell all of these 'romantic goodies' to unsuspecting sentimental consumers.

I don't buy it. And neither should you.
Don't buy anything 'heart-shaped', 'floral' or made of chocolate this valentines day. Don't purchase anything with a cupid or fluffy theme to it. Don't buy anything that contains something else that is cuteand/or romantic. To show your 'mate' that you adore them, do something worthwhile for them. Clean up their yard. Shovel something for them. Give their Honda a tune-up. Go to Sam's Club and buy them a flat of toilet paper and stock it in their basement.

Why not, as the ancients used to, kill something delicious for them and lay it on their door-step. Astag, a salmon, a sow. Or, as someone I have been seeing might suggest, spend the day in penitent prayer on their behalf.

These are just the opinions of the blog author, and not the belief of Dunder-Mifflin, Inc.

That is all.

Dwight Kurt Schrute

PS I understand my recent entries have managed to anger both Canadians and women. I imagine someone like Shania Twain must be doubly upset as she is both. (I think!?) I'm sorry, Shania. I think you are really beautiful. And I understand you are married to a mysterious ugly dude. What's up with that? I also apologize to Sarah McLaughlin. You are very HOTT and sing like a Canuck angel. I like Canadian women very much. They know how to build igloos and appreciate John Candy films. Thank you for that.

Rob Thomas/Kristen Bell Live Chat


THIS JUST IN�

�From UPN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 -- On Thursday, Feb. 9, acclaimed VERONICA MARS creator/executive producer Rob Thomas returns to UPN.com for a second appearance on the live Internet talk show webcast (2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT) to take calls from fans. Hosted again by E!/E! Online's Kristin Veitch, the live talk show compliments a wide array of VERONICA MARS content on UPN.com, including exclusive interviews with the cast and photo galleries.

While taking live calls, Rob and Kristen will discuss the recent, surprising storyline twists and exclusive details about upcoming episodes, which will feature guest stars, including UPN's GET THIS PARTY STARTED co-host Kristin Cavallari as a closeted cheerleader, Harry Hamlin ("L.A. Law") as Logan's murderous father Aaron Echolls, Charisma Carpenter ("Angel") as shady step-mother Kendall Casablancas, and Tina Majorino ("Napoleon Dynamite") as Veronica's friend Mac.

Veronica Mars Bloggers Press Day

Oh I'll be cozying up next to Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell on February 27th at the Veronica Mars Bloggers Press Day on set in San Diego. There will be a set tour and then a luncheon with series creator Rob Thomas and hopefully some of the cast.

It will be a time to chat with Thomas in hopes of uniting bloggers and getting them to further spread the good word about Veronica Mars. I guess in preparation for the CW merger in the fall, they are looking to get more word of mouth out there to let people know Veronica Mars is more than a teen high school show. It's a stylish revamping of the noir genre as little Ms. Snoops A Lot solves the mysteries behind who killed her best friend Lily Kane and more recently why a school bus of kids went off a cliff into the ocean killing 8 students on board, one of which was supposed to be my favorite martian herself, Veronica!

I will keep you posted on the event and hopefully will have updates from San Diego and pictures to share when I return! Neptune, here I come!

Veronica Mars - "Rashard and Wallace Go to White Castle"

Question of the week: How have the majority of these Neptune kids not killed themselves or had heart attacks from all the stress related terror in their town. For real, Neptune is like the scariest place on earth. If you though Scientologists from Space were the ones to fear with their scary dreadlocks and bad piercings you were sadly mistaken. The ones to fear are your next door neighbors, the sports heroes, the local politicians, and the cute kids you used to ride bmx with who are now implicated in all sorts of evil doings by the age of 18. It's fucking scary in that place yet every teen in town seems to barely acknowledge half of it.

Veronica's been targeted numerous times in death plots, kidnappings, gang fights, and vigilante-ism while dealing with her alcoholic and absent mother issues while trying to get a good score on the SAT's. She should have more stress and near death anxiety attacks instead of witty banter over game hens with her father.

Weevil heads up a motorcycle gang and apparently killed Curly (the fatty mechanic that showed up dead and bloated with Veronica's name written on his person) while battling his own issues with weight control.

Logan's girlfriend was murdered, his new girlfriend was tortured and almost killed by his father who just happened to kill his last girlfriend and that was just last year. Don't forget his Mother jumped off the Catalina bridge! Summer brought a murder charges, a trial, drive-by-shootings, a break up, a burned down house, and another year of high school. Sure, he's the tough bad boy with a real heart of gold but for real, scary shit dude... it's okay to just leave town, it really is.

Now our innocent friend Wallace Fennel is in some serious hot water of his own and all he can think about is whether or not he can make it to the pep rally. Wallace, you were just implicated in a hit-and-run accident in Chicago after finding out you have a father, that your mother was a lying bitch and moving half way across country twice... not to mention you've got one angry resourceful Uncle of a basketball star mighty pissy that you've ruined his fame and fortune not to mention stolen his cell phone! Watch you ass and take a minute to just cry naked in the bathtub already, its what any self respecting high school boy would do. Now welcome back kiddo!

No wonder Duncan was hopped up on meds and fled the country, he may be the only sane one after all!
