For 46 years news footage, radio reports, audio recordings and home movies of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy have been kept under wraps by the stations that owned them and then by museums. That is until tonight at 9p when National Geographic will air a two special showing a glimpse of what was uncovered in the over 100 hours of footage. The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination documents all the major events that went on during the four days that changed America. It starts out with JFK’s arrival in Dallas on November 22 and ends with the burial of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 26th. There is no new audio commentary added, it is just all of the news coverage edited together to tell one of the biggest stories in our nation’s history as it unfolded.
This is an absolutely amazing documentary that makes you feel as though you are watching news coverage of that event as it happened in a way I never seen done before. While we have see the parade route, the announcement of his death, Lee Harvey Oswald being shot before, this documentary shows what the city of Dallas was going through for those 4 days. You feel their pain and sorrow as they learn the President has been shot and you feel their anger when Lee Harvey was arrested to their shock that he was shot by Jack Ruby. It is just riveting piece of work that keeps your attention glued to the TV screen for the whole two hours. Whether you are familiar with those four days back in November of 1963 or this is the first time you have really seen anything about it, you will find yourself enthralled by The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination on National Geographic at 9p so make sure to watch this brilliant masterpiece as it plays out. Sincerely the documentary left me in awe and it is the best thing I have ever seen on JFK’s assassination and I have seen several movies and specials about it!
Looks like Meg Ryan had something to celebrate for her 48th birthday on 11/20 because according to The Herald Sun she has been seen getting cozy with the 41 year old Julian McMahon. The two have been seen having several dinners together and at one of them they were seen holding hands. I wonder if she realizes he just plays a plastic surgeon on Nip/Tuck and he isn’t really one? Sorry I couldn’t resist.
The American Music Awards had Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston making comeback performances, but all everyone can talk about is J-Lo falling on her (2:40 in) a$$ and Adam Lambert’s sh!tty performance. And if it weren’t for YouTube the West Coast would not be seeing what all the talk is about because the AMAs are going to edit out the best stuff. Jennifer Lopez was singing her song Louboutins when she jumped off of some of the male dancers she climbed on and she landed on her fat a$$. Lucky for her, her bum is so big because she didn’t feel a thing, but I felt a 4.1 on the Richter Scale. Now what is saving her from being the butt of all jokes is Adam Lambert’s crappy performance of For Your Entertainment. The only positive thing you can say about that career ending finale is…well there isn’t anything nice you can say about. People are in uproar over the fact that he grabbed a female’s crotch, had a guy’s head in his crotch and making out with male keyboardist, but I am in frenzy because my ears are still ringing from all that screeching. Dang that song was f*cking awful. I think a big reason he did all that stuff with the people on the stage is to distract people’s attention from how crappy that song was. If that was For our Entertainment, I want those 4 minutes back because that was SH!T. I predict his album will be in the discounted bin before the next American Idol is crowned…you know the title he didn’t win.
Katie Price had reportedly quit I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here rather than do a 7th consecutive bushtucker trial according to Daily Mail. I can’t say I blame her because even doing one of those challenges would make quit, but being the only picked on her team to do them you can’t say you blame her. As annoying as she might be she didn’t deserve to be the only one voted to suffer. Seriously I like to watch people suffer, but even I think I’m A Celebrity goes too far. I could never eat a kangaroo’s testicle or be doused in cockroaches or eat different type of bugs. Nothing is worth it for me to do that. So how much was Jordan getting to endure that? She was being paid £350,000 to appear on the show, and Daily Mail says she might lose that for quitting. I think I would forego the money rather than do another trial, but I would have to thinking about long and hard.
