RANDOM THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK

 

 –The judges on American Idol must think that they’re handing out opinions to the contestants on Opposite Day. Just about everyone they deem great is, in actuality, awful, and vice versa. What are they listing to??? When Mr. X and I agree on something, trust me, that means we’re correct, because it rarely happens.

–Speaking of AI, if there’s fairness in the world, the awful, full-tressed Tim Urban will leave tonight, along with either the little boy, whose name I don’t even remember (a first for me with this show,) the flat-more-often-than-not, ear-cringing, constantly-worried-looking Lee Dewyze, and any girls except for Crystal Bowersox. And how good of a singer does someone have to be for her to be my favorite while obviously missing teeth?

 

imagescao5sasm–Last AI comment–I’ll give you a second to think of whose life story the beautiful Todrick Hall should play, both musically and visually, right down to those light eyes they both rock? Ready for the answer? Smokey! Robinson, for those of you who need his last name. Mr. X got the answer in a nano-second, and said he had already thought of that himself.

 –I’m facing back surgery to remove a “humongous” herniated disk. I really hate surgery. So, I have two questions on the topic: a) How do so many people opt for elective surgery? I don’t even want to do necessary stuff!!! Which brings me to b) do any of you have experience in this area? If so, please leave a comment to let me have your insights.

–Many people ask why I won’t take the pain meds, anti-imflammatories, and muscle relaxer cocktail that everyone, including doctors, think I should. Here’s my answer: Brittany Murphy, Corey Haim, that Samoan wrestler who died last year, and Heath Ledger. Enough said.

0309_etrade2_commercial–How dare Lindsay Lohan say that the baby on the new E-trade commercial is supposed to be her because they have the same first name! I always thought the little girl looks just like Kelly Osbourne, and she’s not suing.

–This is the first season I’m thinking of sitting out Dancing With the Stars. I was so happy that they got rid of that inane chick who co-hosted, (though I think I actually lost weight when she came on, from vomiting,) but then they replaced her with the I-still-don’t-know-who-she-is, boring Brooke somebody, who erroneously beat Warren Sapp just because the phenomenal magician, Derek Hough, was her professional partner.

Then, on top of that, my most reviled Olympian, maybe ever, Even Lysacek is on the show. Pay attention folks–the nights they rag on him, he’ll claim he was sick or something, like he always has done with skating. I pray he gets voted off early, but since middle Americans love a gold medalist, I have a feeling he’ll be there awhile. And, as much as I hate to admit it, he does have great posture.

–Speaking of his gold medal, prejudices aside, I still feel that Yevgeny Pluschenko should have won it. Yes, he was a little careful in his long program, which made him lose a point and half (about) to Lysacek. But he should have beaten him in the short program by at least five points, which would have made him win the whole competition.

But the games took place in North America, so there you have it. Remember when they gave that Canadian pair a second gold medal after the Russians had won it fair and square, when the Olympics took place in Salt Lake City? When the scores from the judge they dismissed that time main_179were thrown-out, the Russian pair had still won. So I feel that the Olympic committee just couldn’t take the pressure from the North Americans, and awarded the Canadians a gold, too. Both of these nonsensical scorings make me turn away from my beloved Olympics just a tad.

–Have any of you seen the pictures of 75-year-old Sophia Loren in a mini-skirt, with her chest popping-out? That women is now my idol! And it doesn’t hurt that she’s so attractive and sexy, even with a big nose. You go, girl!
