The reason why The Simpsons is still on the air after 20 years is because they show just keeps getting better with age! The best part (to me) about the show is the annual Treehouse of Horrors episode and tonight’s does not disappoint. On the 20th edition with a tale of three horrors, Bart and Lisa do a criss cross, but when she doesn’t understand what he means someone, well more than one person will wind up dead. Then when a Krusty burger turns Springfield into Zombies, The Simpsons have to try to stay alive and not be eaten by their neighbors. Finally Moe accidentally kills Homer and convinces Marge to fall in love with via song. How horrific is that? All-in-all it was another scary, but enjoyable Treehouse of Horrors, so check it out tonight on Fox at 8p!

The Larimer County Sheriff held a press conference today saying that they believe that Balloon Boy really was a hoax. According to KDVR he said, “We have evidence to indicate (the Heenes) were marketing themselves for a reality television show in the future,” adding later on “Clearly, we were manipulated by the family and the media was manipulated by the family.” He also said that criminal charges will be filed against Richard and Mayumi Heene. No word if and when child services will step in.
This is so sad, what this family has done for the desperation to be on TV. Is this what reality TV has done to people? They feel the need to fool the world that their son was carried away in over-sized Jiffy Pop balloon filled with helium just to get on TV again? If this is the future of people that are appearing on reality shows, maybe it is time to start cutting back big a$$ time. I mean it is getting weirder and weirder and the people are getting more and more out there. There has to be a point when we say enough is enough. But the problem is, I am not quite ready to stop watching. What to do??? Well for starters if they can prove in a court of law that this was a hoax, throw then in jail and make they work to pay off all the money it cost to search for their son who didn’t need to be looked for. And most importantly…don’t give them a show!!!
Sorority Wars is a fun movie about a Freshman that learns the hard way that a legacy doesn’t mess with the bitchiest sorority on campus. When Katie realizes that her mother’s sorority is using some dirty tactics to recruit their rushes, she calls them out on and they seek revenge on her. Lucky for her she finds another sorority that will pledge and they help her get revenge. But the war won’t be won in one battle and you have to watch how they fight and who will win. Not only does Katie have to deal with almost everyone hating her on campus, she has to deal with her mom who is not happy she didn’t pledge her sorority and is causing her a lot of problems with her sisters. Will her mom choose her or her sisters? You will have to watch to find out tonight on Lifetime at 9p.
I was really surprised, in a good way, how darling Sorority Wars is. I really liked Lucy Hale as Katie, but I could be biased because still miss her on Privileged. Nah she just so likable and she is great in this movie. I also really liked Courtney Thorne-Smith in this movie, and I normally am not a fan of her work. This movie is just all around good and I promise you will enjoy it as much as I did. So make sure to rush Sorority Wars tonight on Lifetime at 9p!

About two weeks I was invited to Daughtry’s music video shoot for Life After You and I got to talk to the band about the song and the video. Life After You is the follow-up single to No Surprise off the #1 album Leave This Town.
When I met up with Daughtry they were shooting the final scenes of the video in an abandoned warehouse in Downtown LA. They had been there since the early hours of that Sunday morning after a long weekend that included an event in Vegas on Friday night and a two-day music video shoot over the weekend. But standing there talking to them in a place that looked it had been used in several horror movies, you would never know that they were barely sleeping and two weeks away from starting a huge tour. What I am sure will come as No Surprise to you guys, is these 5 guys are unfazed by all the success that they have experienced in the last few years. Daughtry is the number #1 selling band in the new millennium and there is not one ego among the bunch. They are just 5 friends having a good old time doing what they love.
You can see in the above interview that they love joking around with each other and anyone that comes in their path. Even though when I spoke to them, they had only one more scene to shoot they weren’t sure how the video was going to turn out. Chris Daughtry said, “We’ve shot in a lot of different locations. A lot of different scenarios that are all suppose to bleed into the life of Daughtry basically on the road. And so as of now we are shooting it out of order. We are not really sure of how it all lines up, but it seems like it is going to work.” It all did work out and you can see the video for Life After You below to see just how well it did turn out.
Come back on Monday to hear what the guys told me about their upcoming 36-date arena tour that starts off in Kansas City that same day! And check out Chris Daughtry’s Twitter page because he is randomly giving away VIP tickets to the show!
So it has been a hell of a 24 hours for poor little Balloon and things got even worse for him when he threw up during the a live interview on The Today Show. Poor kid, I hope there wasn’t something in the attic he was hiding in that made him sick?
Now let’s go back to the interview, I can’t believe Meredith Viera just went on with the interview as though nothing happened after watching the poor 6 year old throw up. She didn’t even miss a beat. If that were me, it would be like the pie eating contest in Stand By Me.
Believe it or not that is not the worse interview the family did. They appeared on Larry King last night and Wolf Blitzer was filling in. When Wolf asked why the kid didn’t come when he heard his parents calling out his name, he said “You said, we did this for the show.” Now we know why Wolf sucked so bad at Jeopardy because the schmuck didn’t ask the follow-up question, what do you mean you did it for the show? Eventually he did ask, but that gave the dad enough time to to think of an answer to that question and not leave up to his little kid to screw it up again. Seriously Wolf with all your years in journalism and all the hours you are on CNN, you would think you would know when to follow up on an answer. Maybe it is time CNN gave someone else a chance to bore us for four hours a day?
