www.itsnotaboutme.tv<\/span><\/span><\/a>, through all of its growing pains. I\u2019m so happy to bring you an eclectic mix of thoughts and reviews on a daily basis, and plan to continue to do so for a long time to come, knock on wood.<\/p>\nRight up front, I want to thank Mr. X for always encouraging me, my mystery web manager (what\u2019s with all my men who don\u2019t want to be identified?,) my friends, publicists I\u2019ve enjoyed working with, and most of all, you, the readers. If a tree fell in the forest\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
And now, I\u2019ll add some current topics, to bring us up to date.<\/p>\n
The American Music Awards<\/em> basically sucked this year, (they happened last week-end,) so that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t bothering reviewing them.<\/p>\nMy thoughts on Dancing With The Stars <\/em>are more abundant, so here they are:<\/p>\nFirst of all, even though Mr. X and I gave all our votes to Kyle and Lacey, we\u2019re fine with Jennifer and Derek winning. \u201cOld girl\u201d power. But<\/strong>—- there\u2019s no way she would have won if the producers had partnered her with anyone else. If she had been with Louie Van Amstel or Jonathan Roberts or Corky Ballas, the guys who usually get the older females, (Jennifer is 50,) she would have been out in the first five or six weeks. Period.<\/p>\nDerek is a genius. I always wonder if I would ask to be paired with him or Maks if I were on the show; Maks is sexy and more the type of guy I\u2019ve always dated–difficult and bossy, but fabulous–but Derek is exactly who I\u2019d love to hang with on a daily basis. I asked Mr. X who he thinks I\u2019d choose, and he said Derek, of course, because I\u2019d want to win, and he knows exactly how to present his partners in the best light. And he\u2019s correct!<\/p>\n
I had a bunch of questions watching the finale, so here some of them are: who\u2019s this Peter chick who\u2019s been featured in so many of the pro dances this season? I bet they\u2019re grooming her to be a pro next season.<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t Michael Bolton and the goony chick from The Hills <\/em>show up to the finale? I know the excuses that were announced, but what if they had made the finals? They couldn\u2019t possibly have skipped-out then, so I call bad sportsmanship. Even heart-broken Brandy was a sport and showed-up, although I\u2019m also stymied as to why she and Maks didn\u2019t show what their freestyle would have been so they could have possibly put the finalists to shame, and pointed-out just how robbed they were the week before.<\/p>\nWhy has Jennifer worn that weird netting on her stomach only? If it was to hide a bad stomach when the rest of her old body is great, it didn\u2019t work–it just called attention to it. She should have done like skaters do and had the flesh material go around her whole body. Strange choice.<\/p>\n
[Sidebar on the topic of Jennifer Gray: As a fan of the shamefully-cancelled series \u201c\u2026Old<\/em> Christine<\/em>,\u201d I\u2019ve known who Clark Gregg, the ex-husband on the show, is for a few years. So, when he and his wife got on an elevator with me earlier this year, after some event, I paid attention. I remember thinking that I was surprised he was married to a mousy little middle-aged woman, who looked kind-of like a tired New Yorker. And now it turns out that it\u2019s Jennifer Gray! I was shocked! I thought the reports were wrong at first. But I have a feeling that now, with this great ballroom experience she just had, she won\u2019t go out looking like that anymore. She needs to show that fantastic body off!]<\/p>\nWas Christina Aguilera performing on the night of the finale or pre-taped? The judges were nowhere to be seen during her numbers, so I think pre-taped, but I\u2019d love to know for sure. No biggie, just love to know how good my detective skills are at all times.<\/p>\n
Is Brooke Burke an idiot? I really don\u2019t mind her a lot, in general, although Mr. X can\u2019t stand her, but she never has anything to add, doesn\u2019t listen to the contestants\u2019 comments so she can riff off them, and is basically just a robot, saying just what they tell her in her ear. But at least she doesn\u2019t get in the way as did that last creepy woman they had as co-host. But she was even dumber than usual at the end there, telling Bristol and Mark, on their third place finish, \u201cWe\u2019re going to miss you.\u201d Like they were the only ones leaving! Guess what? Everyone<\/em> was leaving in ten minutes!!! She was going to miss them for the final segment of the show??? What a moron.<\/p>\nMy last observations on the final results are that despite all the negativity, including from me, Bristol was very pleasant, and Kyle and Lacey were the most gracious second-placers ever. They were the ones who made the show fun to watch, not anybody else. And we semi-disliked Kyle the first week, so it was his natural personality that really turned us around. Kudos to him.<\/p>\n
And lastly, for now, I have to ask everyone reading this to please stop using the word \u201camazing!\u201d It devalues things that truly are amazing, like face transplants and interplanetary travel. Please save it for occasions such as those. I started to write a whole column on this topic, but in case I don\u2019t post it soon, I just want to give you something to think about now.<\/p>\n
And, really, thanks again for making ItsNotAboutMe.TV a success. I really appreciate it!

<\/a>Anyway, I feel like I just got finished posting my 100th<\/sup> column, and here we are already at the 200th<\/sup>!!! I feel like A-Rod celebrating his hundreds of home runs, though not all of my bon mots have been such.<\/p>\n
