Here is the new single from the New Oldies Kids on the Block. It’s called “Click Click”.
I really have no opinion on them because I was in Kindergarten when they were really popular (now when Hanson makes a comeback that will be another story!). So, what do you think of the new NKOTB song?
Oh my gah!!! It’s the New Kids on the Block!!!!! EEEEEEeeeee!!!!!
Okay, that’s all the excitement I can muster.
NKOTB, now in their 40s or something, reunited on The Today Show this morning, but they didn’t even perform! They just stood around and talked to Meredith Vieira and told everyone their name and astrological sign while middle-aged women screamed like they were in Jr. high. The “boy” band is going to be performing on Today in May.

Add some more ladies who are smitten with Barack Obama! Obama went on The View today and had all the gals except probably Elisabeth Hasselbeck swooning.
Britney Spears visited South Park last night, and I can’t decide if it was really funny or really sad. Here’s the synopsis, via Dlisted:
South Park devoted an episode to Britney Spears last night. In the episode, Brit tries to escape the paparazzi by camping out in South Park. The South Park boys find out Brit’s in town and trick their way into her motel by pretending to be SPF and JJ. She shoots herself in the head when she realizes that she will never be left alone. She survives, but the top of her head is missing.
She goes on to perform at a awards show where the media makes fun of her for being fat and for having a camel toe, but don’t really mention the fact that she has no head. The South Park boys decide to help Britney by taking her to the North Pole. The paparazzi mob follows and confesses they won’t stop until she is dead. The cartoon Brit finally dies and we learn the real truth on why everyone wants her dead. Brit must be sacrificed in order for there to be a good harvest. The episode ends with the people finding their next sacrificial lamb…Miley Cyrus.
Miley: watch and learn! Make all the money you can now and go into hiding!

With all the buzz surrounding Elliot Spitzer and his high-priced hooker this week, it just wouldn’t be “real news” without an SNL skit about it! Check out this video with Bill Heder as Spitzer and Kristen Wiig as his wife. His wife should totally beat his head in. And then go pose for Playboy.
Jason Castro sang “If I Fell” on last night’s Beatles American Idol. Despite lukewarm reviews from the judges, I thought it was decent. Have you noticed he makes the funniest expressions when he sings? I wonder if people around him get a contact high. Anyway…I thought other songs might have been better-suited for Castro, like “Across the Universe” or *cough* “Yesterday”, but I thought this was definitely one of the night’s better performances. I have to disagree with Bumpshack on this one…I’m a fan of Jason, but I don’t really think he’s a great singer. I don’t think he’d do well on the radio, but I think he’d be great on the festival circuit. How to summon a Jason Castro: Build a campfire, start singing an acoustic version of “Alcohol” by Barenaked Ladies, and wait for him to appear! Voila!
Haha, I’m so mean! I love Ryan! I was going to say David Hernandez, but even I know when I’ve gone too far. Seriously, Chikezie Eze gave the best performance on last night’s American Idol Lennon/McCartney episode. He took a song, “She’s a Woman,” made it completely different, and didn’t butcher it. The other contestants need to take a page from his book! I don’t know how big of a shot he has at winning (slim to none), but he rocked it last night.
Another one of the worst American Idol performances of the night, Ramiele Malubay sang “In My Life” and turned it into a sleepy R&B snorefest. I like her, she’s pretty, and she can sing, but the whole thing was wrong, wrong, wrong.
I’m coming off like a real meanie this week, I know! But there just wasn’t much to write home about. Did you like Ramiele? I know you did. Share your thoughts!
Carly Smithson has become Vote for the Worst’s token villain this season. They claim that she lied to America when she said she had her shot with a record deal but the company went under. They say in truth, her record sold like 2 copies or something like that after they invested $2 million in her, and the company went under two years after her release. Nonetheless, she is still one of the darlings that everyone loves. This week she sang “Come Together” and sounded like she was trying to emulate Amanda “Pepe LePew” Overmyer. It was better than the Aerosmith version, I’ll give her that. Only time will tell if she’ll actually become a star or go back to being a bartender/tattoo artist or whatever she is. Get ‘em drunk and ink ‘em! I like it! Sounds like a reality show waiting to happen.

Syesha Mercado sang “Got to Get You Into My Life” on last night’s episode of American Idol. She did a pretty good job…nothing groundbreaking, but at least she didn’t cause John Lennon to roll in his grave or anything. I wonder, do you think Paul McCartney watched this episode? He probably couldn’t care less at this point. Heather Mills, on the other hand, was probably cackling evilly throughout the whole thing and waving her leg in the air. Just because in my head, that’s what she’s always doing. Anyway, S-YES-sha looked pretty and didn’t commit any crimes against the Beatles that I could tell.
“Eleanor Rigby” is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it’s also one of the saddest, most depressing songs ever written. So, when David Cook “rocked it up” and the judges LIKED it, I was pretty upset. I mean, for crying out loud…he yelled “Whoo!” at the end of it! Also, when reflecting at all the world’s lonely people, one probably shouldn’t sound like he’s taking a dump.
Upon giving it another listen, it still upsets me. It’s not that I don’t think David has a shot at being the winner of Idol. He has a very bright future as being another Chris Daughtry or Chad Kroeger. And people like that. I just hated him on that song. It was one of the night’s better performances.

Brooke White gave one of the best performances on last night’s American Idol Lennon/McCartney episode. She truly heeded the song and “let it be.” She didn’t oversing it, she didn’t bastardize it, she just sang it pure and honestly. She played the piano barefooted and I think Ryan Seacrest was trying to steal her shoes, but I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house after she sang. Brooke is one of the last people I expect to have a sex tape on American Idol, so I hope she keeps it pure and honest and if she does, I think she’ll go far!

Sorry, I had to do that. Seriously, though. David Hernandez’s American Idol performance of “I Saw Her Standing There” left ME standing there, mouth agape! It certainly isn’t one of the better Beatles’ songs, and not a lofty or risky choice. It was very cruise ship, and it makes me think he’ll be going back to Dick’s Cabaret very soon.
Snore. I could have skipped this American Idol performance altogether, because from week to week Amanda Overmyer does the same thing. This week she sang “You Can’t Do That” and surprise! She was clad in skunk from head to toe, she danced around, and she yelled into the microphone. And this was different from any other week how? Oh yeah, this week it was a Beatles song, so this means war.
Sadly, this was one of the night’s better performances.
I missed the first half of Michael Johns‘ American Idol performance of “Across the Universe” because my boyfriend was being rude and obnoxious and trying to make sure I couldn’t hear it. Why would he do that? Because I made the mistake of telling him that it didn’t matter how good of a singer he was, girls would buy his records because he’s hot.
Apparently, he’s relying solely on his hotness these days, because he hasn’t really given an above-average performance since that day he did the Doors’ song. This was another mediocre performance at best. It was “just aiight,” as Randy would say. The song would have probably been better suited for Jason Castro.
I know she was trying, but Kristy Lee Cook was obviously trying too hard. Now, don’t think I’m going to hate all of last night’s American Idol Top 12 performances, because I didn’t. There were a few I thought were quite good. This was not one of them. Kristy Lee tried to turn “Eight Days a Week” into her idea of a country song, which sounded to me like a country fair having a heart attack. It’s like the band was trying to play faster than Kristy, who was trying to sing faster than the band, and all the while I’m sitting there hyperventilating from the madness! Add to it her attempts to “Aguilera” the song, aka oversing the notes when she really didn’t have time to do any of that. It was murderous. All I have to say is, she better be glad Simon’s such a nice guy! 3-way TIE for WORST performance of the night. Can you guess who the other two were?
Agree? Disagree? Everyone has an opinion! Share yours and leave a comment!

I had a real problem with last night’s episode of American Idol. I love the Beatles, and the songs on last night’s episode are some of the best songs written in rock-n-roll history. And of course, there was a lot of butchering.
What really got me, though, was David Archuleta. I know he’s only 17, but how could he sing “Imagine” written by John Lennon a couple of weeks ago with such conviction in a performance that brought many people to tears, and then say he wasn’t a fan of The Beatles and that “type” of music this week? So, since he “didn’t know” any of the songs, he sings the Stevie Wonder version of “We Can Work it Out” and forgets half the lyrics and tries to turn it into a show tune. Perhaps he’s trying to show his more human side? Either way, it didn’t work for me. Go back to the sad songs, David! Last night’s episode was a disaster, if you ask me. Your thoughts?

SNL tackled Hillary Clinton’s 3 a.m. phone call ad on this week’s episode of SNL. In the skit, Barack Obama is portrayed as a clueless, chain-smoking, potty-mouthed President and Hillary is being frequently called to do all the work. Haha!
Perhaps Chris Crocker Jr. newly kicked off of American Idol’s Danny Noriega isn’t going back to a life of obscurity just yet! Rosie O’Donnell has a proposition for him!
