9021-Oh No They Didn’t

Alright, I’m just as excited as the next person for the new 90210 (alright, fine. Maybe I’m a little more excited than the next person.) And sure, I still watch the reruns of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 every weekend. But I can safely say that I will not be buying one of these limited edition 90210 iPod Nanos. No kidding. These are for real, folks. For $269, you too can have an 8GB iPod Nano with the vintage images of Brandon, Kelly, Dylan, and Brenda engraved on the back. (A 4GB version is also available.) The iPod is available in multiple colors, including, ahem, silver. Now, if you could actually buy episodes of 90210 on iTunes, maybe then I’d at least consider this. But until then, I’ll take comfort in the fact that yes, I do still enjoy this show, but I’m not that dorky a fan that I’d actually go out and buy this thing.

HOOOOOOOOME RUUUUUUNNNNN !!!!

2 Jul

I’ve been working on an article about soccer — sorry, I mean football — in Milan, and happened upon this clip of Tiziano Crudeli, who is like Milan’s version of Jerry Remy. I know it’s old news when an announcer goes nuts for a goal, but there’s something about Crudeli that just cracks me up. He actually looks a little bit like Remy, so I was trying to picture RemDawg going this bezerk when Manny or Papi or someone hits a homerun. Can you just imagine? Watch this clip and tell me you can see it too. I particularly love the guy who appears at the 49-second mark to the left who is pretty much oblivious to the mayhem right next to him. Good stuff. And if you don’t know RemDawg, I’ve got a classic clip of him below the Crudeli one. Enjoy.

Saying Goodbye to Tim Russert

16 Jun

If you’re anything like me, then you spent a good chunk of this past weekend watching the endless coverage about Tim Russert‘s passing on Friday. In nearly every interview or remembrance, there was one common theme: Tim’s love of family. And this morning, Tim’s son, Luke, was on The Today Show. If you’re interested and you missed it, I thought I’d post the interview Luke did with Matt Lauer.

Taking One for the Team

27 May

Though my entertainment preferences might imply otherwise, I am neither gay nor female. Who cares. I still decided to take one for the team and see an advanced screening of Sex and the City.

I was never a huge fan of the show, but I’ve certainly seen my share of the episodes and have even referenced one right here on this very blog. And I guess I’ll admit that I was a little excited to see the movie. Why do I tell you all this? Well, I guess it’s so that you don’t hate me too much when I say the movie really didn’t do it for me.

If you’re a devoted Sexaholic, you’ll no doubt delight in the clothes, the men, the witticisms, and the sheer sight of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda together again. For me, it wasn’t all that. Continue reading →

Rock On, David Cook. Rock On.

21 May

Woo hoo! There he is, ladies and gentlemen, your new American Idol. I have to admit, I was really excited when this was announced (all things considered, of course).

I was never a fan of David Archuleta and I said as early as February 19 that he would never win. David Cook may not have given the better performance last night, but for most of the season it was pretty clear he was the best contestant. Continue reading →
