THIS WEEK\u2019S TELEVISION THOUGHTS<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have lots of parties, restaurants, and celeb sightings to share with you, but they must wait a day because I feel the need to discuss some of this week\u2019s television with you. First up–last night\u2019s Dancing With The Stars<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Watching creepy Evan Lysacek dance the waltz, I couldn\u2019t help but think that the music they should have had him dance to is the theme from Zorro, the Gay Blade<\/em>. And to think that he has the nerve to continually criticize the fabulous Johnny Weir! Uh, uh, uh.<\/p>\n

If I had the choice of hearing a conversation between Evan and the possibly even creepier Erin Andrews, two of the all-time grating voices, or spilling all my secrets, without hesitation, I\u2019d choose the latter!!! Mr. X and I rarely agree on anything, so when we do, I feel that it\u2019s the absolute correct thing in the universe. And every time that woman opens her mouth, he again registers his shock at the idea that anyone has ever given her a job in broadcasting! I haven\u2019t yet met a soul who disagrees with him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve barley been able to watch the show this season because of those two. They\u2019re just so un-likeable. And with only five people left, and Chad and Niecy being less than stellar in the dance department, we may be stuck with the two creepy ones in the final three. Kind-of nauseating.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"nicole-scherzinger-and-derek-hough-pic_372x557\"Last night\u2019s show proved, once again, that Derek Hough is a genius. I love that boy. And Nicole Sherzinger is the perfect partner for him. I know, I know–she has tons of dance experience. Heck, she is<\/em> a singer-dancer<\/em>! Duh! This show always does that, because people would tune-out with only duds. Don\u2019t think for a second that they wouldn\u2019t! But, since it is supposed to be a dance<\/em> competition, if she doesn\u2019t win, that\u2019s <\/em>not fair!<\/p>\n

But enough already with all the phony rehearsals spats and crying fits. It\u2019s a television show, for crying out loud–no one\u2019s going off to war or suffering through a disease or something like that. Everyone\u2019s getting paid, tons of publicity, most likely better jobs after this, and having fun! So, shut the frig up and dance! Or don\u2019t get your \u201cpeople\u201d to beg, borrow, and steal to get you on the show in the first place! Yeesh.<\/p>\n

Oh, wait, I was just about to post this and I thought of something else: remember that for two seconds a few months ago, I had a crush on Maks, Erin\u2019s partner? That\u2019s over because if he really is<\/em> seeing her, (which I can\u2019t imagine, after almost marrying super-hot and sexy-voiced Karina Smirnoff last year,) then I\u2019ve lost all respect for him.<\/p>\n

It reminds me of this story: years ago, I met a really cute funny guy through a sexy older woman friend of mine. This Guy A loved her and always said how hot she was. Then, though the grapevine, we all heard that she was kind-of seeing this unimpressive Guy B. When Guy A learned it was true, he told me, \u201cNow I don\u2019t want to [sleep with] her; I want to slap her!\u201d I couldn\u2019t have said it better about Maks.<\/p>\n

One quick word on the upcoming season of So You Think You Can Dance<\/em>: if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it! With so many talented dancers out there, why change it from 20 contestants to only 10? That\u2019s insanity! They\u2019ll be pairing the new ones with dancers from past seasons, which is so dumb–viewers will vote for the old ones, too, which should not be the case. The only change they should have made is to go back to the old, cozy, audience-inclusive stage.<\/p>\n

And, what\u2019s up with having the super-negative Mia Michaels back as a permanent judge? Mary Murphy was really annoying, but at least she wasn\u2019t an insecure yet full-of-herself bi-atch. The show is losing me, and the season hasn\u2019t even begun.<\/p>\n

Speaking of shows losing me, this season of American Idol <\/em>has been just awful. It\u2019s not just that, after Adam Lambert, everything pales, but that\u2019s part of it. After I first saw him perform around town, way before his so deserved fame kicked in, no singer could ever hold my interest again, so I had a feeling he might have that effect on all Idol<\/em> viewers. It\u2019s mainly that the judges and producers picked mostly untalented people this year.<\/p>\n

So, if the winner isn\u2019t Crystal, with Mike being second, and Casey third, weirdos are the only ones left watching. (I just realized, with only four kids left, at least two out of my three have to make it.) But, for some unknown reason, those boring, wanting-to-hear-their-own-voices judges keep pumping up always flat, and<\/em> sharp, Lee somebody, so I\u2019m not holding my breath for a good outcome.<\/p>\n

And lastly, I\u2019m sick that the Lakers won their series last night, even though we all knew they would. I like the Utah Jazz, and everyone loves their coach, Jerry Sloane. So, I\u2019m sick to my stomach, literally, that that smug, vomitious Phil Jackson persevered, as usual. It appears that once again, the nice guy did finish last. Shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
