I’m sorry, but this William Hung-love has gone a little too far. (Yes, he has his own website too.) It was funny on the audition shows. It was funny and tragic on the American Idol hourlong-special where the worst of the rejects were given an extra 15 seconds of fame by singing onstage in frontContinue reading “REALLY, NOT WELL HUNG”

R.I.P.
I just heard it on WNYC, and then saw it on Gawker (via AP). Spalding Gray found dead. Strangely enough, he was working on a new monologue at the time of his death that was to be based on his horrible, debilitating car accident a couple years ago. It was to be called, “Life Interrupted.”
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Bunsen compares “the little engine that couldn’t topple Jesus” with the slasher movie evangelical Christians love. Now I feel more compelled to do the same to tonight’s betrayal-focused TV-movies on ABC and NBC. Then again ….
‘SEX’ IS DEAD … THANK GOD
Out in Aspen, executive producer Michael Patrick King says there will be no Sex and the City movie. All I can say is, Huzzah! Personally, I thought the series ended just the right way, and whether we love these characters or not, anything further would just distort the six great seasons we spent with them.Continue reading “‘SEX’ IS DEAD … THANK GOD”
A NEW PUNCHLINE …

OH NO, SAY IT ISN’T SO
A body being found in the East River is nothing new, but as Gothamist notes this morning, the New York Post is reporting that this body could be that of Spaulding Gray. As I mentioned in my (overwritten) second post, Gray is someone I have long admired and often thought of and is a veryContinue reading “OH NO, SAY IT ISN’T SO”

Here’s your AIM Morning Briefing of the top 3 things you need to know: Breaking News: Iraqis Sign New Constitution It seems that “Breaking” just means “really important.” Of course, this is a transitional constitution that doesn’t address several issues, and they don’t actually have a real government,Continue reading “ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: THE “DAMN IT’S MONDAY” EDITION”
DID YOU CATCH THAT GREAT NEW SHOW?
HBO has been making fantastic series television for the last several years. People mourned the passing of Sex and the City just two weeks ago, but never fear because a brilliant brand new series just premiered last night. It’s called The Sopranos, and damn that’s good television. I must admit, though … it seemed oddlyContinue reading “DID YOU CATCH THAT GREAT NEW SHOW?”
OBVIOUSLY, YOU WEREN’T PAYING ATTENTION
After $212-Million in 12 days, The Passion of the Christ is a bonafide blockbuster. There has already been merchandising associated with the film — necklaces and other kinds of trinkets — but I’m waiting for the Jesus, Pontius Pilate and Caiphas action figures. Now kids in the privacy of their own homes can flay aContinue reading “OBVIOUSLY, YOU WEREN’T PAYING ATTENTION”
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
If you missed Omarosa’s ouster last week, here’s another chance to join the celebration. And for even more fun, it turns out Miss Thang has her own website which is really worth checking out. There doesn’t seem to be much there, but in the short bio alone, we learn that she had a “humble youth.”Continue reading “IN CASE YOU MISSED IT”
