Long time, no blogging....
Also, going forward, if you have a comment please post it on the blog and don't e-mail me your gripe. Starting good debate and dialogue in the comment section is key to having a great blog, Basically, here's what I'm saying...I like having the back up! By back up I mean reader Neutrogena....LOL!
- Why is every show that HBO produces becomes "critically acclaimed". That In Treatment show sucks.
- Steroids, Congress, HGH, Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens, etc. Seriously, what is the point of investigating the past? Other than tarnished reputations is there really any consequence for any of these guys? Here's an idea....how about coming up with a solution to the problem.
- Jason Taylor is going to be on Dancing with the Stars...I know where I will be every Monday night.
- Dwight Howard is amazing. Incredibly talented, a physical specimen and seems like a pretty good guy too. He is going to give LeBron a run for his money for NBA poster boy.
- Memphis men's basketball is undefeated...I suspect their cream puff schedule will get them a top seed in the tourney but I will be surprised if they are hoisting the trophy or plaque or whatever it is come April. Although what do I know, the only teams I have actually watched lately is Indiana and whoever they are playing.
- The Pens are continuing to roll own without Sidney Crosby. Ty Conklin had a superb game against his former team, the Buffalo Sabres last night and the Pens won 4-1. The Pens are back in a first place tied with New Jersey. Fleury is on his way back....some interesting debate is soon to be raised in the 'burgh.

Weekend Wrap Up
In other college b-ball news, Pitt fell five spots to 18 after a horrible 77-64 loss at home to last place Rutgers on Saturday. Coach Dixon reportedly put the players through a rigorous contact practice this afternoon to prepare them for #18 Villanova tomorrow night. In contrast, the Lady Panthers continued their winning ways taking care of St. Johns and Rutgers last week. Along with powerhouse UConn and Rutgers they remain undefeated in the Big East and are ranked 14th in the AP poll, their highest ranking ever.
Not usually a big ice skating fan but this guy is cute and reportedly straight so I have a chance...and he won the US Figure Skating Championship on Sunday. Therefore, I will give him a shout out....welcome Evan Lysacek.
While most people were concerned with Tom Brady's walking boot and his brusque manner with the media, I'm most flabbergasted that he was taking Gisele CARNATIONS! I know he took a pay cut and all that but seriously Tom! If he would have watched Sex in the City (you know, since his baby mama was on it) he would know carnations are nothing more than filler flowers.
Staying on our loser boyfriend roll, check this out. All those Romo dumps Jessica rumors appear to be bullshizz as Tony serenaded Jess with a little Journey last night. Not sure what was more entertaining...the entire club calling Tony the "p" word or Jessica looking completely uncomfortable being on stage. No wonder she can't make it as a singer.
Just when that little cheeseball Brody Jenner started to grow on me he totally ruins it by hooking up with Lohan. You just can't trust a guy who has anyone named "Brittany Canada whore" on their iPhone can ya? Apparently the paps were on a smoke break since no one actually got a picture of them "all over each other" or leaving the club together. That's him in the Nirvana-esque flannel. First Nicole Richie and now Lindsay....does he wait outside rehab or what? Ewwww wait....here's some video of them leaving, get this...The Box....insert your own joke here.
UPDATE: She was out and about pre-invention for what else....some coffee. What she didn't have time to pick up a new puppy today? I wonder if during the next phase of the intervention they can tell her those freakin boots need to go.
Well, here's a little something to lift our spirits....New Kids on the Block may be reuniting! Well, we atleast have NKO since Jonathan(the "not as attractive" brother) and Danny (the ugly one) were not seen. The three were seen catching a flight to Orlando, otherwise known as Mecca to boy banders. Get out those oversized buttons, I smell a reality show!
In all seriousness I was in my heavy metal phas as New Kids took over the world so other than the played out "Step By Step" and "Hangin Tough" I am pretty unfamiliar with their music. Fortunately we have You Tube these days so I can gain a full appreciation of their musical genious.
This was an actual comment posted in response to this video:
"Nowadays many singers just have one or two good songs and is not a big problem. This album is excellent, just they needed a better promotion. Besides, Jon was exhausted. NKOTB was very succesfull and always would be."
You are so right eriestrema, so right.

SAG = Suckitude
The Screen Actors Guild Awards took place in Los Angeles last night. It was the first awards show of the year with the Writer's Guild strike still dragging on. After the show was over I started wondering why I bothered to watch in the first place. After all, I took the time to watch but some of those that were nominated and actually WON were MIA...that is some bullshizz. Although I am not sure that it matters since you can basically blueprint all the awards shows from whatever happens at the Golden Globes. I decided to hand out some of my own awards just because it's the easiest way to complain.
- The "Let's give it to them cause it was the last season" awards went to the The Sopranos, Edie Falco and James Gandolfini , who may be tied for worst speech giver with Josh Brolin.
- The "I have about 10% chance of ever watching this movie" awards goes to No Country for Old Men.
- The "Probably talked for too long but I didn't notice cause his speech meant something" goes to Daniel Day-Lewis who dedicated his win to the memory of Heath Ledger. (Speaking of Heath Ledger, wierd pause prior to his photo being shown at the end of the In Memoriam tribute. Kind of anticlimactic....)
- The "Let's show them because apparently they matter to somebody somewhere" award goes to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. So sick of them...
Some other thoughts:
- Best dressed: Amanda Bynes...although I could have done without the braids.
- Worst dressed: Sandra Oh-No...she squeaked out a win over Viggo Mortensen.
- 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin receiving nods. If you were one of the nominees on a show people actually watched wouldn't this piss you off?

Down goes Federer!
"HOOOOAAHHHHAHAHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHA"
The Penguins lost to the hated Philadelphia Flyers last night by a score of 4-3. Yes folks, the Pens have lost all four meetings with Philly this year who just a season ago was one of the worst teams in the league. The loss drops the Pens to third place in the Atlantic Division. Geno, Sykora and Ryan Whitney scored and Georges Laraque did what he does best....get in fights and pick up penalties. He picked up two majors before capping off his night with 10-minute game misconduct after hitting Steve Downie from behind into the boards. I have yet to see the hit but I suppose if the Flyers (some of the dirtiest players in the league) are calling the hit worthy of a suspension it must be cringe-worthy. Considering Laraque's reputation I'm sure it gets a look by league officials.
Friday News Links:
LeBron continues to give a big eff you to the fine fans in Cleve-Land. So he wore the Yankees hat to Jacobs Field last year....alright. Now this....talk about a bitch slap! I don't know that I would buy a pair of shoes that has the word "suckers" stitched on them....but that's just me.
I know that we all are biased towards our own fan bases but to call the Eagles' fan base "the best"? If best means you are the loudest, most petulant, arrogant, beer throwing a-holes then no arguments here.
Amy figured out that smoking crack is wack. Or at least her record label did. So it's off to rehab for Miss Winehouse. Who wants to start the pool on how long she makes it??? P.S. Apparently blondes don't have for fun as Ames is "back in black". As you can see she looks nicer heading to detox than she does on stage.
More details continue to surface regarding Heath Ledger's death. First it was reported the apartment he was renting was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen which was denied by her camp. Now the police are saying that the masseuse thought MK should be called before the paramedics...in any case MK finally gave a short statement.
The Florida Primary elections are this Tuesday. Get your asses out and vote Floridians. Still not sure...here's some help. VOTE!!!!
