The cast Shameless got together and recorded a Christmas Carol to promote the return of their family drama on Showtime starting January 8th at 9p.
I sincerely think that is the best new Christmas song since Do They Know It’s Christmas. Seriously I can’t stop singing it, so I guess you can say that Showtime’s evil plan worked on me because I am even more excited for the show than I was before I watched them bring some Christmas cheer into my life!
Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer…
FX is taking a big risk and it is a risk I can’t wait to see this spring. The network that has given us Rescue Me, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Nip/Tuck, Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story, is doing a little Nip/Tuck and asking Russell Brand to rescue them with his own talk show. I am sure some people are thinking that is a horror, but it made my day a little more sunny!
Mr Katy Perry will be hosting 6 episodes in front of a live audience where he will talk about current events, politics and pop culture. Who knew he knew anything about current events and politics, but I guess he does. And if he doesn’t know something, he can ask the audience for help because they are a big part of the show.
So what does he say about his first American show that is all his, here is what he said on the press release “I am so excited I’m on the point of climax, in fact I will put the “O” into FX, which spells FOX, which is actually the channel’s real name. That’s the only thing that worries me about all this to be honest. At least I’ll be able to have a Christmas drink with Bill O’Reilly.”
I would love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting and I want to be an audience member for taping.
The best part about this show being on FX is he will be able to push the button further than he can ever dream of on network TV. And I am sure he will push that button harder than anyone ever has before.
Yesterday on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno made fun of the rumors about Kris Humphries being edited to look bad on Keeping Up with The Kardashians. Well since it is a late night show, they did their own special editing to a scene between the couple that were married for a whole 72 days. Too bad it was fake and not real, but for a few seconds we could pretend that it is!
NBC announced today that Howard Stern will be replacing Piers Morgan on America’s Got Talent and I am announcing that I will not be watching the show anymore. Stern is not for me, his voice and schtick bother me. I know the Shock Jock is a big teddy bear, but I just didn’t want an obnoxious Brit replaced by obnoxious New Yawker. On that note, the show is leaving its LA studios for NY to accommodate him. I wonder if that means Sharon Osbourne will announce she is leaving her day job because of it?
Now back to Stern, I am sure AGT will lose a lot of viewers because of him. But they will also be picking up new viewers because of him. I also expect that a lot of the Burlesque and big chested women will advance to the next round.
On the woman of the show note, I feel for Sharon being sandwiched because a Howie and a Howard because that is going to get confusing for her and Nick Cannon.
Finally he is a big reason I am giving up the show, but it is also because I have not been with the winner since season 2. So thank you NBC for giving me back several hours during the summer.
