Midnight Madness - Tatiana Del Toro Edition

She likes herself, she really really likes herself: Tatiana Del Toro in full drama action.


The ultimate drama queen, Tatiana Del Toro, lost for a second time on American Idol and ended her run on her knees crying in front of the judges. While she's annoying as all get out, I've gotta say her self absorbed dramatics have provided many of the entertaining moments from this season so far. In her brief episode this week, Tatiana defended her tired old song choice (Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You") and tried to ride the good will fellow contestant Jorge generated by invoking a Latin accent. It was so blatant that Paula Abdul called her on it. So goodbye Tatiana Del Toro, the show is technically better without you but will be a little duller too.

American Idol update - The show is going for a Top 13 this year to give a little room for the Anoop Dogg. Of the people to not make it, the only one I really wanted to see more of was Jesse Lerseth who turned out a pretty decent version of Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good."

Everybody Wants Some!! - There may be a Guitar Hero: Van Halen in the works on top of the existing GH: Metallica and the forthcoming GH: Beatles. With all these boutique Guitar Hero games, will we eventually get down to a Guitar Hero: White Lion game?

Target Team Members Gett Off - Prince has signed a deal with the chain store to sell his upcoming 3 CD set. It will include two new Prince albums plus a third disc by someone who I assume is a protege' of his. Maybe Target will create a Prince section like Wal Mart did for AC/DC? You can pick up his CD, get some diamonds and pearls plus purple glitter coat in one spot!

Bonorific - U2 has a street named after them in New York now called U2 Way. With their return to the limelight, all of the good U2 puns are taken. So all I got is Bonorific. They've also announced they'll release a second album this year called Songs of Ascent and that it will feature a song called "Every Breaking Wave".

Mis Fortune - INXS says they didn't release singer JD Fortune and the supposed firing at the airport never happened. Sometimes you kick, sometimes you get kicked.

Crue it - Motley Crue will be hitting the road again soon and may even play the Dr. Feelgood album in its entirety to celebrate its 20th anniversary. If you're a fan that's been waiting to hear "Slice of your Pie" live, this is your year.

Teen group failure, now in 3D! - The media is widely reporting that the new Jonas Brothers movie has stiffed at the box office. I'm not a fan of these kids music, yet it seems to me the media is having too much fun reporting on this. Though on the up side, at least film will be one part of electronic media that I won't have to see endlessly advertised for them in the future.

Stay With Me - The Faces reunion rumors just won't die, it's pretty much been said it's all up to Rod Stewart to make it happen.

Let's Tap into America - The Spinal Tap tour is going unplugged meaning we'll be hearing acoustic versions of classics like "Hell Hole" and "Big Bottom". I'm sure it will be funny, just as a concept it doesn't cut it for me.

Get Your Groove On Grunge God - Chris Cornell has a new track produced by Timbaland called Scream. Interesting. Very interesting.

Cherry Bomb - Looks like the Runaways movie is picking up steam, former child star Dakota Fanning has been cast in the film.

Meeting People is Easy - It seems both Myley Cyrus and Kanye West received the cold shoulder from Radiohead. Guess all those songs about alienation aren't fake.

Robin Williams will be undergoing heart surgery - The comic actor has given several memorable performances and great moments during his long career, so I won't poke fun at him at all. I'll just say I wish him well.

We All Watch the Watchmen - The delayed comic book adaptation finally hit the big screen and raked in the big bucks over the weekend. Yes!

Reality TV Douchebags - Two guys have caused a stir with their recent reality TV appearances. The Bachelor dude apparently picked a winner to marry and then turned around and dumped her for a runner up contestant. He'd be the most hated man in reality TV if it wasn't for the guy from last month's episode of Wife Swap. This guy takes stuck up to a new level and I'm sad to say is from the Bay Area, if you want some proof just check out what's below.

Wife Swap dude

"She likes herself, she really really likes herself..."

I'm glad she does because I just could not stand her over-the-top dramatics.

"The show is going for a Top 13 this year to give a little room for the Anoop Dogg."

I'm sure Idol regrets that decision after last night's "Beat It" performance. Too bad- I like Anoop.

"There may be a Guitar Hero: Van Halen in the works..."

COOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!

"If you're a fan that's been waiting to hear "Slice of your Pie" live, this is your year."

ROFL!!! I totally forgot about that song.

"The Faces reunion rumors just won't die, it's pretty much been said it's all up to Rod Stewart to make it happen."

As you know, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

"We All Watch the Watchmen"

I guess I'll have to as well. Don't worry- I'll be your date.

"He'd be the most hated man in reality TV if it wasn't for the guy from last month's episode of Wife Swap."

You also know I almost posted about this douchebag. What a tool!

You already know I don't watch AI, so I'll leave that.

Would be an awesome Guitar Hero, if it's mostly stuff from their DLR days.

Your Wallyworld did THAT for AC/DC? I couldn't even find their CD at mine. trolls. I'm so jealous.

Hmmmm, lets see... Avenue U2?

I LOVED INXS. I have all their old stuff on cassette to prove it, too. :) I'm still mad as hell at Michael Hutchence. I had such a crush on him back in the day. I love his voice. Can't say I've paid much attention to this new incarnation. Hadn't even heard this rumor. So... are they still performing or not?

Crue? If it feels good do it. But I think I'll save my money for the Faces show.

The Bros? ick. Girls these days just don't have any taste. :-)

Let's see... nope, nope, nope, funny that, my very best wishes for a perfectly speedy recovery for Mr.Williams. What a treasure he is. Genuis.

Again, nope.

TV douchebags? I have only one question: why do people watch that crap to begin with? Why are these people, for good or ill, famous? I'm just sayin' ya hear? :)

I hope the Faces reunion does happen, I think it would be really good and a lot of fun.

INXS is planning new material but the singer is unknown.

Wal Mart in this area had a big AC/DC display where they had the shirts and underwear around a playable Rock Band display and AC/DC signage.
