American Idol - Will the Real

By LauraBelle 20 Comments

I go back and forth with my opinions of Adam Lambert. Sometimes I think I understand who he is, and sometimes I don't think we'll ever know who the real Adam really is. The more and more I see, I keep thinking it'll clear it all up for me, but ...

American Idol - The Importance

By LauraBelle 14 Comments

After having the following conversation with some friends after the American Idol results show tonight, I decided to turn it into a post. There are two necessary ingredients to being a winner, whether it's the winner of a reality show, the winner of a poker game, or the winner of ...

What's so Great About Andy

By Aurora 10 Comments

ABC's latest Bachelor appears almost perfect on paper. He's cute enough. He's a Navy Lieutenant, he's a doctor, a humanitarian, a former Sunday school teacher, and he's an Iron Man triathelete. He's also sensitive. This past week we saw him attend to an injured Bevin, even accompanying her to the ...

American Idol 8, January 29 – Simon Proving to Be a Nice Guy After All

By LauraBelle on 30 Jan 2009

It’s the last day of American Idol auditions, and for once, I’m not saying, “Thank God!” In past seasons, the audition process seemed to drag on so long, and every year the Hollywood round seemed to get shorter and shorter. They must have been listening to us, as it’s something we were grumbling louder and louder about each year. Instead of being done with the auditions, then finding out we have two hours of the “Best and the Worst” of the audtions, here are two [...]

American Idol 8, January 28 – Salt Lake City Leaving Us Feeling Good

By LauraBelle on 29 Jan 2009

I’ve been “walking on sunshine” ever since last night. Not that I was bowled over by any of the auditions we saw, but the overall mood of the night was just a good one, and leaving us singing and bopping around our houses to Katrina and the Waves way to end it. It gives me a lot of hope heading into tonight’s auditions in Salt Lake City, as well as the Hollywood rounds starting next week. Who better to represent Utah than an Osmond? Up [...]

American Idol 8, January 27 – Sunshine State Shines Through

By LauraBelle on 28 Jan 2009

It’s our last week of auditions, and what a nice change of pace that is. It seems like it just got started, and usually by the last week of auditions, we’re ready to tear our eyes and ears off. We’re coming out of Jacksonville, Florida tonight, and for a nice change of pace we have Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest starting it off as they cruise around the town in the backseat of a car. Not lost on them is that it would seem like [...]

Previously – Farm living. The Nanny and the Lovebirds. Jamie and Finn clashed. There was some bad lamb. Jamie and Finn win, along with Carla. The Nanny is knifed. Credits – The Food and Wine Classic. Personally, I am waiting for Diet Food and Wine. Or Cherry Food and Wine. Perhaps even Food and Wine Zero. NYC – cabs driving around in circles to cheat tourists out of their travel money. Jamie does the dishes. Hosea is halfway through his book – just like the [...]

Who Screwed Your Bandmate In Redux: Rock Of Love Bus, Episode 4

By GatsbyGirl on 25 Jan 2009

Dear Bret Michaels, First, in all seriousness, I hope Maria is okay. Medical conditions suck. Now onto more frivolous pursuits. The sleeveless shirt look for you is starting to be iffy. Perhaps it’s the military fatigue pattern that’s making this shirt not so hot. I can give you some awesome moves to build up your neck and shoulders to make that look so much better. Again, check your wardrobe people. They may be going rogue. Kelsey doesn’t know what a roadie is. That’s a bad [...]

American Idol 8, January 21st, – Reviving Our Hope For This Season

By LauraBelle on 22 Jan 2009

I certainly hope it doesn’t get to th ande point of begging, but I fear it might. I want to be entertained and wowed in the auditions. Last week seemed to have the best balance of all that, only showing a few bad auditions and showing some really good, promising talent. Yet last night’s auditions in San Francisco seemed seriously lacking, making me question what we’ll have ahead of us tonight in Louisville, at Churchill Downs in Louisville. Tiffany Shedd, 18, Cincinnati, Ohio, officially listed [...]

American Idol 8, January 20th – Not Finding That Heart In San Francisco

By LauraBelle on 21 Jan 2009

Judging by last week, this might be a pretty good audition season for American Idol. Let’s hope we have more of the same this week as we travel to San Francisco for the auditions. I’m hoping to see more of the good auditions and just enough of the bad ones to keep it all interesting. There was even two people getting married while waiting in line. Looks like we’re in for some great entertainment. Tatiana Del Toro, 23, from San Juan, Puerto, knows she deserves [...]

Hey, Glad product placement in the first minute. A new record. Hosea is wearing an “I Love Padma” T-shirt that I [...]

Pop Goes The Boob Implant: Rock of Love Bus, Episode 3

By GatsbyGirl on 18 Jan 2009

Dear Bret, Bringing Lacey back is not original any more. I guess this visit is either during or after Charm School, but of course she’s not charming here with the other girls. I’m questioning how deep the friendship between the two of you is. I do appreciate your version of Boobs On Ice. These girls on skates is a disaster. You should be on skates, too. Heh heh. You can’t remember the girls’ names, can you? N-n-n-n-n-natasha. Heheheeee. No worries. I can’t remember most of [...]

And THIS Is Why I Love Reality TV: (Alleged) Renee (aka Alleged Mrs. Baio) Gives Me An Email Smackdown

By GatsbyGirl on 17 Jan 2009

At the end of all my columns, I open up to any further banter about what I’ve written. Sometimes readers do chat in the forums. On the rare occasion, I get an email. Usually, the email is one of seething animosity about my opinions in which the emailer insults me, hates me, and wishes me the worst because I apparently can’t have opinions. On the rarer occasion, I get email from people who want to say hey, actually like what I wrote, or happened to [...]
