Seems like the summer is just getting started and we’ve already lost so much! Even more unbelieveable, Lindsay Lohan and Alexis Neiers are not responsible for what’s missing…that I know of?!
The good news is, while we may be boo-hooing over what’s gone, by the time the BBQ is fired up for the 4th, the “new” will be so hot, you may think you’ve fallen on to the grill itself! So throw that chicken cutlet on the barbie! We have plenty of things to fill that bikini with what the Summer has on the way…
OUT! Retiring for good are some long running shows that we may not like that much anymore, but watch out of loyalty or because we hope they’ll stop being complete crap.
Law and Order, 24, Ugly Betty, Lost, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Monk, Nip/Tuck, Reno 911, Saving Grace, The Tyra Banks Show, Guiding Light, As the World Turns, The Jay Leno Show, and The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien are all going to the big network mansion in the sky.
While all were not results of cancellation, (Tyra Banks pulled her show to “go out on top,” insert eye roll) a few of the shows are just jumping around, (The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien is now with Jay leno, and Conan is doing his own late night show on TBS) While some of the others are rumored to be making the jump to the big screen like Ugly Betty, 24, and Lost. Seriously Lost? You were “lost” for 6 years! How are you still “lost”?!
IN! Entourage, Secret Life of the American Teenager, Mad Men, Burn Notice, Drop Dead Diva, and my personal obsession, True Blood, will all be back in full swing by Mid-June. With the exception of Secret Life, (which is more for the 90210 crowd with a spoonful of cheese) all of those shows will have you googling spoiler boards!
If you need your reality show fix, The Bachelorette is back (to not find “the one”) and Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. If you’re looking for something with actual talent though (that term is used loosely) America’s Got Talent will be returning in June as well.
And speaking of reality shows, it looks like FOX is laying the ground work to slowly phase American Idol out!
Rumors are that next season the show will follow Glee and be shorter in length which will, (A) Have all the Gleeks spilling their viewership over to Idol to boost their declining ratings or, (B) Totally backfire and have people switching channels as soon as Glee is done.
Either way, this year’s snooze fest is done…along with Simon Cowell, Band Leader Ricky Minor (who is heading to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno)and Paula Abdul who is still gone (figuratively and literally)
Big congratulations going out to Lee Dewyze from Mt. Prospect, IL who was this year’s winner. You can see Lee perform along with the other top 10 contestants from this year on-tour this summer. To find out when they’ll be in your town click: American Idol Tour Dates. The cast of Glee also kicked off their tour a few weeks ago. You can find them here: Glee tour dates.
Also expected to tour is Dancing with the Stars, who just named TRAINED DANCER & Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger this year’s winner. I’m sure ousted and rhythmless contestant Kate Gosselin has all her kids making voodoo dolls of the cast.
Some other bits and pieces to stuff in to your bikini…
Bret Michaels is recovering nicely after having heart surgery and a brain hemmorage! No worries, he was not driving the Rock of Love tour bus when all these health issues occurred (although some of the wholesome girls on board appear as if they’ve already been in an accident) everyone is fine! He even had some time to sing on the American Idol finale, and was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice. He and Donald Trump should come out with a line of hair products…or even better hair pieces! Ouch! But YEA at the same time!
The late Brittany Murphy’s hubby, Simon Monjack, 39, was found dead of an apparent heart attack in the couple’s home. The same place where Britney passed away 5 months ago! Simon was accused of all kinds of shadiness from taking Brit’s money, to even being the cause of her death! While no one deserves to die, I’ve got 2 words for you, “Kar” and “Ma”!
Last but not least, Sex and the City 2 hits theatres nationwide begininning, May 27th! Check your local listings for bars that will honor your ticket stub for a free Cosmo opening weekend! And that’s really all that needs to be said! Who cares about bikinis, summer and sunblock when the Cosmos are free?!
Happy Early Summer!!
