Vote for the Worst strikes again?
Is Tim Urban this year's Sanjaya?
Let me start by saying that I’m aware that “American Idol” is a seriously cheesy show, and getting worse every year (I actually haven’t watched a full season since the one with Melinda Doolittle, and I’m not entirely proud of myself for watching it this season. And hey, I also watch “Lost” and next month I plan to start watching “Glee.” Other than that I pretty much stick with news and other more dignified programming, so don’t judge me…) Okay, now that we’re past that, is it possible that VoteForTheWorst.com really does have the power to influence the show? How else to explain how Tim Urban — perhaps the worst singer ever to make it this far (so much so that Ellen once asked if he can act, as an alternative to singing) — got into the top 12 and not Alex Lambert, who has a fantastic recording voice, even if not nerves of steel? Or Paige or the utterly unmemorable Katie Stevens, whose name I had to look up because she was so utterly unmemorable??? It’s hard to know if VFTW has the pull they think they do, but the result of this show is pretty bizarre otherwise: Read more
Could Andrew Garcia be the first Latino ‘American Idol?’
I know it’s way too early, but from his audition on, this guy is special:
In case you missed it: Colbert mocks Sarah Palin’s hand prompter, calls her a ‘f-ing retard’
Hysterical:

Meanwhile, Breitbart gets all whiney about it. But since he did say it was “satire,” something Rush didn’t do, doesn’t sister Sarah now have to come to Colbert’s defense? Otherwise, wouldn’t that make her a double-dip hypocrite?
Anthony Weiner confirms: Joe Lieberman IS a …

And now, a little Harold Ford ridiculousness
Stephen Colbert entertains the frantic, fast-talkiin’ flip-floppery of Sir Harold Ford, who went on the show to recover from a previous Colbert drubbing. Watch as he switches positions on issues faster than a Republican votes “no”:

Miami PBS affiliate to host live Haiti forum TONIGHT
WPBT, the main PBS affiliate here in South Florida, is hosting a live, one-hour forum, “WPBT2’s Pulse Presents: Haiti, A Community Conversation,” tonight at 8 p.m. on the ongoing crisis in Haiti. Viewers will get the chance to call in and talk about their personal experiences and stories in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.
The forum will be streamed live on WPBT’s website, (information on the live stream will be posted here,) and those wanting to comment on the program via Facebook can do so here.
If you have friends or family (or yourself) who has a personal story to tell, please join in. Miami is central to the Haiti story, given that South Florida is home to more Haitian-Americans than any other community in America. Let’s be heard.
Monday TiVo: General Larry Platt to perform on ‘The View’
“Pants on the Ground” goes daytime Monday. Set your TiVo or DVR now so you don’t miss it! In case you haven’t gotten with the Idol hit (with a great message) yet, here you go. Oh, and here’s a pretty good re-mix. And here’s the Neil Young version, as performed by Jimmy Fallon. Hilarious, much-needed comic relief! (And General Larry just might finally end a really ugly, ridiculous fashion trend once and for all! Here’s hoping…)
Entertainment – A star is born: General Platt rocks Idol with ‘Pants on the Ground’
You’re about to witness the best … American … Idol … contestant … EVER. 62-year-old “General Larry” Platt of Atlanta is a certified hit! He got the whole Idol crew and fellow contestants singing along with his original, and very timely, rap song. And after tonight, nobody had better walk around with their “pants on the ground.” If you don’t love this guy, you’re dead inside (or maybe you’re looking like a fool with your pants on the ground…) Watch:
Now … where do I get the ringtone?

UPDATE: It’s officially hilarious.
ORIGINAL POST: The folks over at Bossip are calling it racist. I just think it’s bloody, freaking hilarious. You be the judge:

George Stephanopoulos will give up discussing important issues facing the nation and world on “This Week” — which at this stage is such an infinitely superior show to the weak “Meet the Press” starring Dubya’s pal “Stretch,” that it’s really not worth Tivo’ing both shows anymore — to do cooking segments and interview muppets, reality show winners, and cast members from “Glee.” Good luck with that, George.
