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 ...

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 ...

What's Hot On TV Tonight -Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It

By LauraBelle on 31 May 2010

There isn’t anyone hotter right now than Bret Michaels. Despite the fact that his new series on VH1 isn’t scheduled to air until the fall, the cable channel is capitalizing on his popularity showing a special preview of what we’ll see in the fall. And along with all the rest, his three health maladies, his Celebrity Apprentice win, and his surprise appearance on American Idol, the word is he is also in the running to replace Simon Cowell. Really there isn’t any bigger name out [...]

What's Hot On TV Tonight – Indy 500!

By LauraBelle on 30 May 2010

It’s Race Day! We start out with the Indianapolis 500, then follow it up with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. And it seems to be our second year without a driver iron manning it to drive in both races. But we can stil sit back and watch both races while starting that grill and making the potato salad. If you’re not into racing, catch up on the season finales at TV-Links. 1. French Open: Early-round play. Boston Red Sox at Philadelphia Phillies. 11:00 AM CT [...]

By aforstenhausler on 29 May 2010

Top Shot, the History Channel’s first ever competition reality show, pits sixteen skilled marksmen against one another in a challenge of endurance and accuracy. I had the opportunity to speak with the host, Survivor’s Colby Donaldson, about the show premiering June 6th on the History Channel. Let’s see what he had to say: Alex: So, we’ve seen you on three seasons of Survivor. We’ve seen you on Rachel Ray and even Curb Your Enthusiasm. Which of your past television appearances best represents the Colby we [...]

So You Think You Can Dance, May 27 – I want to use it as an exit.

By LauraBelle on 29 May 2010

I know they do it to keep the momentum going, but it just always seems so weird to be starting So You Think You Can Dance the very next night after we crown an American Idol. I kind of want to revel in Lee Dewyze’s win a little longer, but every time I think that way, I sit down to watch So You Think You Can Dance, and start to get a little excited about the season in front of us. Tonight our judges are [...]

What's Hot On TV Tonight – Stanley Cup Finals

It’s a good time to be from Chicago. This week two Chicago area natives, from the Northwest suburbs to be exact, won reality shows. Lee Dewyze and Michael Ventrella won American Idol and The Biggest Loser respectively. Now, the Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup Finals. If they win it all, it will almost be like the Trifecta. 1. French Open: Early-round Play. Early-round play in Paris. 11:00 AM CT NBC 2. Igor. Offbeat animated film with a Tim Burton feel to it. Joh Cusack, [...]

We’re not done with the American Idol coverage quite yet. Tonight, Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox, along with the rest of the top 10, will appear on Larry King Live, an annual event. I’m sure they’ll address the amazing guest stars on the finale, and maybe Crystal’s very recent single status will be addressed as well.

American Idol, May 26 – Midwest Showdown Has Some Surprises for the Finale

By LauraBelle on 27 May 2010

It’s still hard to believe it’s Simon Cowell’s last show. I think he’s going out at the right time, though, judging on the ratings from this season. It does make me worried for next season. Yet, in the meantime, we have a two hour long finale/goodbye to Simon to look forward to tonight, culminating with a new idol, Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze. Look at all the past Idols in the audience! Ryan Seacrest alarms us, telling us that coming into the night last night, [...]

What's Hot On TV Tonight – So You Think You Can Dance

By LauraBelle on 27 May 2010

The night after we drown a new American Idol, we always start off our So You Think You Can Dance season. It’s a very different show this season, with different rules, as 10 All Stars come back to dance with 10 contestants, but not until we get through the auditions. Tonight we’ll be in two audition cities, Los Angeles and New York. If you want to refresh yourself on who these All Stars are, you can watch the previous six seasons at TV-Links, and read [...]

American Idol 9, May 25 – It Comes Down to This, Crystal or Lee?

By LauraBelle on 26 May 2010

Some people are saying they’re good with no matter who wins the finale of American Idol, Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze. But most people are expecting it will go to Lee Dewyze since he has the momentum going into it. I fall into the category of being good no matter who wins, and I think it’s going to be a close one. Crystal and Lee enter from deep into the audience, and Crystal drops her microphone and has to go back for it. Lee doesn’t [...]
