l.a. is going to eat you alive

American Idol sucks, once again. The judges and audience are all hyped over Danny Gokey. He is a pretty good singer but wouldn't get nearly the attention/praise he's getting now if it weren't for the dead wife card. That's the truth, and you know it. Same thing goes for the Michael "I don't want to be an oil rig worker anymore and want a better life for my wife and child and this is my last chance" Sarver. Jesus, cry me a river. Worst of all, they got in at the expense of the best singer of the first round of semi-finals - Ricky Braddy, who sang A Song For You beautifully. They didn't even feature him during the audition shows, but I was immediately a fan. Such bullshit injustice.

The Oscars are tmw nite. I am rooting for Slumdog, Kate Winslet, Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, and Heath Ledger. Unfortunately, I think Marisa Tomei won't win because she hasn't gotten the buzz as Penelope Cruz has. But it's cool - the girl's won once and now been nominated three times. It's all good as long as she continues to work.

I rented Cloverfield from Netflix, and right in the third act, when they rescued his girlfriend from her apartment, the disc froze. So what the hell happens? I've managed to avoid all spoilers of the movie, so I have no idea why people say the movie sucks. I assume it has something to do with the ending. Oh well, I guess I have to wait til Netflix reships me another disc to find out.

Conan O'Brien's last Late Night is done. He is moving from NYC to Los Angeles for the Tonight Show gig. I love Conan; he is my favorite late night talk show host. Here is John Mayer sending a video message to Conan to wish him luck:


By the way, why is Gossip Girl on reruns? Isn't this Feb sweeps month?
