News for Now

I am going to be out of commission for the next few days, I am going to miss "So You Think You Can Dance" recap and opinions tomorrow....which I am sad about but I can go ahead and tell you I think that Mark and Courtney are probably gone this week.

Desperate Housewives:

Creator and producer Marc Cherry said that the show will end after its seventh season. Marc said that he wants to go out while people still like them. Desperate Housewives is going into its fifth season this fall so don't get too sad yet we have three years left to love the drama on Wisteria Lane.

1. Katee

Ok so I disagree with Mark & Twitch.... I think the reason Mark wasn't in the bottom last week was because he was in the bottom the week before and this always gives fans a boost to vote more. I think the same will happen this week for Twitch. I think unless Mark does something simply amazing this week he is going home.

Here is my rankings:

6. Mark

5. Courtney

4. Twitch

3. Chelsie

2. Josh

1. Katee

I think that if things keep progressing the way they are it will probably come down to Katee or Joshua winning, but I wouldn't count Chelsie out yet!

He is taken...for Now:
All you lovely ladies that were hoping that you could hunt down Graham or that he would be the next Bachelor, he is taken. He is currently dating soap star Chrishell Stause from All My Children. They made their public appearance together at the premiere of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. **(Thanks Shelley for the email)

The Dark Knight vs. Titanic

VS.

The continuous talk about "The Dark Knight" and its record breaking opening had me thinking.... Are these amounts adjusted over the years to inflation and the rise of ticket prices??? You would think it would be easier for the industry to just announce how many tickets were sold bc this would be a more standard number over the years.... People have always said that "Titanic" was the highest grossing movie of all time ...in the time it was out it grossed over $600 million. No movie has ever grossed that amount of money and it looks like "The Dark Knight" might break that record, but if "Titanic" was released today would it have grossed more than "The Dark Knight"? I found the link below and it listed the top grossing movies adjusted for ticket price inflation and here is what the new top 10 list looks like:

1. Gone with the Wind - $1.4 billion, ($198 million in 1939)

2. Star Wars - $1.2 billion ($460 million in 1977)

3. The Sound of Music - $1 billion ($158 million in 1965)

4. ET - $1 billion ($435 million in 1982)

5. The Ten Commandments - $927 million ($65 million in 1956)

6. Titanic - $908 million ($600 million 1997)

7. Jaws - $906 million ($260 million in 1975)

8. Doctor Zhivago - $878 million ($111 million in 1965)

9. The Exorcist - $782 million ($232 million in 1973)

10. Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs - $771 million ($184 million in 1937)

So you will notice "The Dark Knight" would have to gross at least $771 million to break into the top 10 of all time but if it grosses over $600 million it will technically be the highest grossing. The weird thing to me is some sucky movie could come out 50 years from now and gross more money but does that truly mean that more people went to see it or that is was a great movie??? My answer is no! I do find it interesting that there are NO movies with in the last ten years in the top 10. What are your thoughts???

Pam: Girl on the Loose
So the celebrity reality shows continue this time with Pam Anderson, of course I am sure I will watch this at least once, I am intrigued. This show will take the time slot of Denise Richards:It's Complicated which aired its last episode last night. Pam: Girl on the Loose will begin this Sunday at 9:00pm on E!

The Island: The RW/RR Challenge

Word on the street is that the challenge will begin on Wednesday Sept 17 at 9:00pm...Mark your calendar!!!

The Bachelor's Matt & Shayne Split:Is anyone really surprised by this news.... the two have been together for several months "riding the PR wave" and said they tried to make it work but their lives were headed in two different directions. I (along with most of America) thought from the beginning that Shayne was just in it for Publicity, who knows for sure if that is true I guess time might tell. The only question left is will DeAnna and Jesse really make it down the aisle?

Ask-Elizabeth: Elizabeth Berkley to have her own tv show on MTV.

The show will center around Berkley conducting self-esteem workshops around the country with adolescent girls. The show will not only show the work shops but the girls in their hometowns...the show is still a working progress but has been confirmed. I have one thing to say "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm just so scared."

So You Think You Can Dance:

So lets talk about it. First off I agree with girls 100% Comfort and Courtney probably deserved to be in the bottom two and it was definitely Comforts time to go home. Will & Twitch were definitely some what of a surprise but I have always said that on shows like these if someone is in the bottom one week and they don't get sent home they have a better shot at staying the next week because their fans will be voting like crazy to keep them safe. That being said I wasn't completely in shock that Mark wasn't in the bottom two, however he probably did deserve to be in the bottom two over Twitch or Will, in fact he probably deserved to go home. All that being said I was rather satisfied with last nights results show bc I think next week Twitch fans are going to save him since he was in the bottom, and I seriously doubt Mark will out last Joshua. Also I believe even though Courtney was in the bottom the chances are pretty good that she will be going home next week. If I am right and Mark & Courtney go home next week then the finale will be just like I want it Twitch, Josh, Katee & Chelsie and I honestly don't think I will care who wins, I love them all.... Looking over this seasons results shows Comfort was in the bottom 6 out of the 7 weeks (crazy that she made it through so many times huh?) Will was in the bottom 3 out of 7 times. Out of the contestants remaining Courtney and Twitch have been in the bottom two times, Mark has only been in the bottom once, and Katee, Chelsie, and Joshua have NEVER been in the bottom (that is because they ROCK)!!!! Looking forward to next week!!!

Happy Watching

Top 8 Performance Rankings

So You Think You Can Dance:

Ok so last night was really good!! There were only a couple that I didn't like and only a one that I really disagreed with the judges on but overall I thought the dancers did a great job. Here is my run down.

1. Katee & Twitch - Contemporary
This dance was so wonderful, it is amazing to me that these choreographers can come up with fresh great ideas over and over - I guess that is why they are "creative". I hate that I love Mia's choreography so much bc I think she is kind of full of herself but she keeps bringing great routines to the show plus she picks wonderful music. I watched the dance twice and loved it so much each time, it was VERY entertaining! One of my favorites of the season thus far.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xqCRnBEECfw

2. Katee & Twitch - Broadway
I think that Katee is probably the best in this competition bc every week she ranks the highest and she brings out the best in her partner. This number was fast and difficult but they pulled it off!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eoU10AzE1PI

3. Chelsie & Josh - Argentine Tango
I think this routine was under rated by many it was very difficult and very good. These two are performers!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fubCqcIwwTI

4. Courtney & Will - Samba
I thought Courtney out shined Will in this number but the pair of them did wonderful.
*couldn't find good video

5. Comfort & Mark - Hip Hop
This is not my favorite kind of hip hop but they did a great job and really hit it, I was proud of Mark for keeping up with Comfort. I agree with Nigel 100% when he said her solos aren't very good but when she is given the hip hop choreography she nails it.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GxCbC1zdQKY

6. Chelsie & Josh - Disco
I am never a big fan of Disco not sure why, maybe bc it is usually cheesy and I usually hate the music but this routine was great...Josh & Chelsie nailed each lift and I felt for him at the end of the routine bc you know he was tired.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_MBpk_3nKKA&feature=related

7. Courtney & Will - Hip Hop
This is the routine is the only routine that I completely disagreed with the judges on.... I thought they lacked chemistry and real emotions this was another routine that I couldn't help but wonder what if Chelsie & Mark or Katee & Josh had performed this routine would I have liked it more. The concept was wonderful and I thought for sure the dance was going to move me but I didn't believe it at all.... I think this might be Will bc I never have believed him in a emotional dance yet...Maybe he is cheesy or too technical to feel the routine.... That is what I like about Josh "he dances from the inside out".
http://youtube.com/watch?v=l-NWXTJrFLI

8. Comfort & Mark - Foxtrot
This dance was the only one of the night that seemed very armature. They looked awkward...well to me Comfort looked really awkward and Mark didn't seem too bad, but what do I know.

The Olsen Face

Many of you know what I mean when I say "the Olsen face" I think this was first coined by Laura Jeff McFee. This has become a tradition among my friends to take pictures making the olsen face. For those of you who are in the dark let me fill you in.... Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seem to always make the same face when being photographed by the paparazzi... Laura sent me a text the other day that said classic Olsen face on the cover of Star Magazine and I wanted to share it with ya'll along with a few other classic Olsen pics... The pictures say it all:

I find this so amusing even though it is not about TV!!! :)

The Match Ups:

On Buddy TV they did a match up from the dancers last season and this seasons show...I have listed the match-up and who they said was the winner along with my comments (in yellow). What are your comments??? Who do you think are clear winners?

Sara vs. Comfort: Winner- Sara AGREED

Neil vs. Mark: Winner - Neil AGREED

Courtney vs. Jamie: Winner - Courtney DISAGREE I think this is a tie...does anyone remember Jamie's great lines and how great she even did with hip hop, plus she had the best routine of the show last year, too close to call a clear winner!

Chelsie vs. Lacey: Winner - Lacey COMPLETELY DISAGREE, I was never on the Lacey band wagon last year...I did not feel a connection with her and Cameron (which buddytv talks about) I think the CLEAR winner hear is Chelsie she has not had a bad number yet!

Twitch vs. Hok: Winner- Twitch AGREED but I love me some Hok.

Josh vs. Dominic: Winner - Tie DISAGREE as much as I love Dominic I think Josh is the clear winner here, he has shown so much more technique over the season. Winner Josh.

Katee vs. Sabra: Winner - Katee DISAGREE I think it is atleast a tie...Sabra was so wonderful last season we were all routing for her but Katee might be a stronger dancer...I love them both for me it is a tie.

Will vs. Danny: Winner - Will AGREED this is a no brainer for me Danny was so cocky last year it made me sick.

On a completely different note in a recent interview Josh said he was "seeing someone" I wonder if him and Katee are seeing each other. If not I feel bad for the girl he is seeing given how he talks about Katee..."Isn't she gorgeous, she is beautiful" etc etc plus he has planted a couple kisses on her check and I don't think it was always part of the routine....It leaves one to wonder...hmmm???
