Brett Michael's on Idol?

Something interesting I found on TVGuide.com: 60 percent of people polled believe Bret Michaels should replace Simon Cowell on American Idol. Now, I like Brett, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I was a big Poison fan back in the day, but I'm not sure this is a good idea. In the past few months, Michaels has suffered from appendicitis, a brain hemorrhage, and a stroke. I think some higher power might be trying to tell him something. I don't doubt he has plenty of advice to offer. He's been a performer for nearly two decades, and can offer words on music and performance. But he does have children to think about, and I think they need him more than Idol does. However, I do shudder to think of the alternatives.

What do you think?

Vampire Diaries Recap: Founder's Day

Well everyone, it finally came. The Vampire Diaries has finally reached the end of it's first season. Many characters have come and gone (Pearl, Vicky), and tonight was no exception. Was it worth the wait? Well, read on to find out.


It's Founder's Day in Mystic Falls, and after a misleading intro, we see Elena and Stefan in old fashioned clothing (and pulling it off by the way) on their way to the parade. Jeremy is too, but not after a visit from Ana. She is feeling alone (who can blame her after her mother has just been killed) and asks Jeremy to leave town with her. She gives him a vial of her blood and asks him to drink it so she can turn him. He refuses, and she leaves just as quickly as she came in.

Jeremy is still pissed with Elena, and refuses to let her make things right. Stefan and Damon are having their own little squabble as well, with Damon's feelings for Elena coming into question.  Add Elena finding out the uncle she's hated for so long is really her father, and you've got one really tense situation.


True Blood Bewere Poster

Well folks, here it is, the eighth poster in the True Blood series. I love this one, it's simple, but haunting. Foreshadowing of things to come? My favorite part: the misspelling of beware.

Saturday Night Live: Betty White Recap

Well, it finally arrived. After a wildly popular Facebook campaign, Betty White's episode finally aired. White was joined by former SNL cast members for a special Mother's Day event. Was it worth the wait? Read on.(I'll only touch on the things I found the best of the episode).

Monologue: Future hosts take note: This is how it's done. No awkward moments, no silly musical numbers. Simply one nicely timed one liner after another. The highlight: Betty's take on Facebook, which she thanked in her own special way, jokingly referring to the social networking site as a complete waste of time.

Good news Moonlight (and Alex O'Loughlin fans), though probably not the kind you were hoping for. The CW is going to start airing repeats of Moonlight this summer after the Vampire Diaries. Read more about it here at TheTwoCents.com

Elaine Stritch Interview

It's been a busy week, which is why I haven't posted anything in a while. But trust, it was worth it. Take a look at this interview I did for TheTwoCents.com with Elaine Stritch, that fabulous Broadway, Television, and Film actress.

I don't want to give too much away, but I must say, she is a laugh riot, as well as very insightful. If I never do another interview again, I'm really glad I go to do this one.
