Welcome to week 4 of "Confessions of a Teen Idol". This show is like an Irish funeral, some of the people are sad, everyone needs a stiff drink and sooner or later someone will pee. I've titled this episode "Urinetown"....

AS SEEN ON TV: PANCHO VILLA

post from INNER TOOB on 30 January 2009 08:05:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

Usually there's no rhyme nor reason to the daily choices I make for the "As Seen On TV" feature. Leading up to Obama's inauguration, I did have a short run of the former presidents. And I may get to most of the others (if available) later in the year. I will have a theme for next week, of famous people as seen on 'Liberty's Kids', if only to use the various profile pictures I grabbed from their website.

But for now, it's mostly a slapdash collection of pics. And for today we have the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa as he looked in "And Starring Pancho Villa As Himself". Antonio Banderas played Pancho Villa and the HBO movie was written by Larry Gelbart.
That in itself makes this a worthy choice for the Inner Toob spotlight.

BCnU!

Hallmark's Second 'Note'

post from Pass The Remote on 30 January 2009 07:32:00 PM. © Pass The Remote

PTR Senior Staff Writer

If it weren't for the Hallmark Channel, I think I'd go bonkers.

Seriously, their programming gives me a much needed break from my usual coverings of homicide detectives, serial killers, conniving high-powered attorneys conjuring up murder plots, Bering Sea fishermen dancing with death and Skynet machines out to destroy mankind.

And did we mention they air some show called ... wait, hold on ... it's coming to me ... Touched By An Angel?

Best.Show.Ever.

Thank.God.For.Syndication.

But alas, I digress.

Tonight is the premiere of The Note 2: Taking a Chance on Love, the sequel to last year's highly-rated The Note, starring Genie Francis and Ted McGinley.

From HallmarkChannel.com:

"Having been reunited with Christine, the daughter she gave up for adoption 18 years earlier, Peyton MacGruder (Genie Francis) is still learning the ropes of parenting. She?s also busy writing her ?Heart Healer? column, as well as managing a relationship with coworker and boyfriend King Danville (Ted McGinley). But when King asks Peyton to marry him, she?s too afraid to take a chance at a life she deserves. A note to Peyton from a loyal reader of her column leads to a new friendship, one that will teach Peyton that when it comes to making decisions, there?s a time to be cautious and a time to follow your heart."

If you're looking for a feel-gooder in advance of Super Bowl Mania, tune in tonight for a double-airing of The Note at 7 p.m. followed by the premiere of The Note 2: Taking a Chance on Love at 9 p.m. Visit HallmarkChannel.com for the scoop on the movie.

Sooo, what's it about?

Should the Zack and Miri Title Change For
Wal-Mart

post from BuzzSugar on 30 January 2009 07:30:24 PM. © BuzzSugar

Yay: The Zack and Miri Make a Porno DVD will hit shelves next Tuesday, Feb. 3! But on Wal-Mart's shelves the title may look a little bit different. Wal-Mart requested that director Kevin Smith change the title on the DVD covers so the word "porno" isn't there, and Smith has agreed to do it. Here's more:

Smith said Weinstein Co., which released the film Oct. 31, has complied with Wal-Mart's request and created new DVD covers for the retailer, but the director worries that some unsuspecting customers will be fooled when they see the shortened title.
[Smith said,] "I mean, at least with the word 'porno' in the title, you can kind of give people a warning about what they're in for."

That's a good point, really - is it actually doing anyone a service to take the word "porno" out of the title? Or is it understandable that Wal-Mart would want the DVD cover to not include that word?

Buzz Book Club: Watchmen

post from BuzzSugar on 30 January 2009 06:30:28 PM. © BuzzSugar

Calling all fangirls and Buzz Book Club readers: One of the most highly anticipated movies of '09 is coming to a theater near you on March 6, so this month's book club selection is the critically acclaimed series of comic books, Watchmen.

The saga of bringing this comic book series to the screen has been most dramatic. Director Terry Gilliam, who was first attached to the project, deemed the complex, groundbreaking work "unfilmable." Eventually the talented Zack Snyder took the helm mostly out of fear that someone else wouldn't do it well enough, and from the looks of the previews so far it looks like Snyder has done an awesome job. Filmable? Unfilmable? It's our turn to be the judges.

For those of you new to my book club format, here's how it works: I announce a new book each month. Every week I suggest chapters to complete by the next post (which, in this case, will go up every Friday in February). In these weekly Book Club posts, I'll posit a few discussion-provoking questions for you to respond to in the comments section.

To find out what Watchmen is all about and to get the first section, read more.

The synopsis for Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons reads:
"It all begins with the paranoid delusions of a half-insane hero called Rorschach. But is Rorschach really insane or has he in fact uncovered a plot to murder super-heroes and, even worse, millions of innocent civilians? On the run from the law, Rorschach reunites with his former teammates in a desperate attempt to save the world and their lives, but what they uncover will shock them to their very core and change the face of the planet! Following two generations of masked superheroes from the close of World War II to the icy shadow of the Cold War comes this groundbreaking comic story - the story of The Watchmen."

The first section: Read from the start of the book through chapter three. Stop before chapter four. We'll discuss this section next Friday, Feb. 6.

Buzz In: Which American Idol Hopefuls Have Caught
Your Eye

American Idol wrapped up its 2009 audition episodes last night with stops in New York and Puerto Rico - and now it's on to Hollywood! This year, 36 contestants will be picked from the Hollywood crowd to move onto the semifinals. And while we haven't seen everyone who got a golden ticket - not by a long shot - I've already got my eye on a few early standouts.

Three of the female singers caught my attention so far: Emily Wynne-Hughes (pictured at right, the one with the cupcake tattoo who sang "Barracuda"), Leneshe Young (the Louisville auditioner who sang one of the only original songs in Idol history that wasn't awful), and Megan Corkrey (the Salt Lake City single mom whose voice reminded me of Feist).

How about you? Which Idol contestants are you digging so far?
