Christina Aguilera was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday and she performed her new song Your Body with The Roots. That sounds pretty boring, but the band did not use their normal instruments instead the background music came from office supplies. Let’s just say what they did will blow you away. That and you realize that X-Tina really is The Voice. Holy sh!t that little dynamo can has some pretty huge vocals, and for some reason I forget that about her.
Last year Jimmy Kimmel Live offered a challenge to his viewers who had young kids to tell them that they ate all of their children’s Halloween candy as they captured it on video and it was a huge huge huge success. Well if you have a hit, you might as well do it again and that the show did. Last night on the ABC late night show they aired a compilation video of several parents who pulled the mean trick on their kids this year and it turned on to be a bigger treat than last year. Some of the kids had the reaction that I would have and others will shock you. Let’s just say some parents are whole lot luckier than others. We should all be so lucky to have little ones like the toddlers at the end of the video, but sadly they are more like the majority. I know my demon spawn will be like some of the biggest terrors that you see on the video.
To see all the raw videos that were submitted on YouTube, you can watch it here.
USA has opted not to renew one of the best shows that TV has ever has seen for a second season and I think they made a huge mistake by not picking up Political Animals. While USA does some good programming, this was the best that they have ever offered. Personally I think they would’ve been better off cancelling Covert Affairs, Burn Notice or Suits instead of this show. This show could get them Emmy noms, what are those three doing for USA? Seriously I don’t know WTF they were thinking? They really f*cked up.
The show’s creator Greg Berlanti proved to be as classy as the show as he reacted to the news. He Tweeted, “Thanks everyone for the nice tweets regarding Political Animals. It remains one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life… The cast, the crew, writers, studio and USA were all a dream to work with. We all got to make what we set out to. Couldn’t be more proud!” And thank you to everyone involved with Political Animals for reminding me that TV can still be excellent!
Earlier this week Disney bought out George Lucas’ company and they announced that would be releasing some new Star War films. Well any director that is 50 and under would give everything they have just for the opportunity to direct one of the upcoming chapters. And so far three of them have thrown their hats and/or glasses into race for that job. Yesterday on Conan, the audition tapes were released for Michael Moore, Woody Allen and Kevin Smith’s and I think it already looks better than Episode 1, 2 and 3 combined! Maybe all three of them could do it together, it would still be better than anything Lucas has done since the late ’80s.
Seriously you can tell Conan had a lot of fun with this and I enjoyed watching what they did! Hopefully they will do more of them!
BTW who do you think should direct the next Star Wars installment? My friend thinks Ben Affleck would be a good choice, and I would love if J.J. Abrams and Joss Whedon could do it together. It will be interesting to see who it will be?
Finally my friend who camped out for Episodes 1, 2 and 3 is undecided as of now if will be on line in 2015 for Episode 7. I am sure he will be, but Lucas has turned him against the franchise so you never know. And my love of Jar Jar Binks has turned him against me. Yes I know I am his sole fan.
Aerosmith was on The Today Show show and when they were doing a little teaser the whole band said, “Good Morning America”! Which as we all know is on another network.
But it didn’t stop there, when Al Roker was doing weather the show mistakenly left Steven Tyler’s mic on and he said “Thanks for coming out you crazy f*cks. I love you!” And Steven that is why we love you!
