Good news on the cable TV war that erupted over the past 24 hours: Viacom and Time Warner have reached an 11th hour deal that means that none of the 19 Viacom channels that were in danger of being dropped -- including MTV, Nickelodeon, and VH1 --...

I was concerned going into the third installment of VH1's "Rock of Love" series, in which aging rocker Bret Michaels (of Poison fame/infamy) picks through a bunch of sad, broken, plastic women until he can find the one to be his "rock of love."...

I always feel like an abused housewife whenever a new season of "Idol" comes on. The promos promise me it will be better. No more useless idiot auditions, baby. No more hours of filler, honey. More actual talent on display. It would never do...

There are many mysteries in life, but perhaps none so quizzical as this: Why does every sexually confused, socially maladjusted young man try out for "American Idol"? (Actually, scratch that; I know the answer. When you're young, gay, and...

San Francisco. Beautiful town, and home to countless oddballs who proudly let their freak flags fly. Odd, then, that last night's "Idol" featured the fewest amount of freaks than any episode this or any season. Certainly there were some wackadoos...

I feel like I'm the only person watching "Idol" this season. My friends are out. My coworkers are out. It's a lonely road I ride. But at least last night's episode was moderately entertaining. (And only one hour! Thank you, Jeebus!)

Those freaking out about the impending switch from analog to digital television have scored a break: the Senate today passed a bill that pushes the changeover date from February 17 to June 12. (For all the details click here.) Lawmakers...

There are times where I swear I'm on crazy pills, when my thoughts on a subject are completely contradictory to the general consensus. Last night's "Idol" was one of those times. Contestant after contestant got through and received praise from...

Here we go again: The House of Representatives today halted plans to postpone the national switch from analog to digital television broadcasts. On Monday the Senate passed a bill that would have moved the changeover from February 17 to June 12...

Salt Lake City proved to be less annoying than Jacksonville. Who saw that coming? There was some legitimate talent on display, and a couple clear ringers for the semi-finals.
David Osmond is one of them. He's the son of the eldest of the...

Finally! Oh, how I hate the initial audition episodes. I don't really need to see grown men in giant pink bunny suits hugging Simon Cowell, or probable crack whores begging and pleading for a second chance to sing some terrible song. That's not...
