reality tidbits

Constantine “creepy-eyes” Maroulis was on Regis & Kelly AND Ellen yesterday, singing the same creepy song on both shows. That boy is getting way too much airtime.

Word on the street is that ABC’s American Idol exposè, called “Fallen Idol,” is airing Wednesday night this week after the AI elimination episode. Everyone should watch and see if the supposed affair between Paula and Corey Clark (season two contestant) is as scandalous as we want it to be.

Oh, and NBC is coming out with 6, that’s right count ‘em – SIX – new reality shows this summer:
- I Want To Be a Hilton: Paris’ mom, Kathy, hosts a competition for celebrity wannabes to live like the Hiltons for a year. I wonder if the prize involves making porn videos with Paris.
- The Joes Strike Back: another Average Joe show where a hottie dates “regular” looking guys. Yeah, cuz this show worked out so well the first time they did it.
- The Law Firm: Lawyers trying real court cases and competing against each other – created by David E. Kelly, creator of Ally McBeal, The Practice, LA Law… I see a theme here.
- Meet Mister Mom: some Wife Swap-like show where the moms get to go on vacation while the dads suffer at home with the kids. Equal Opportunity.
- The Biggest Loser 2: Okay, not a new show, just another season of people trying to lose weight while being tempted by mountains of cupcakes. Awful.
- Tommy Lee Goes to College: uhh, yeah exactly what it sounds like. These poor kids at the University of Nebraska are gonna have no idea what hit them.

Nothing like a summer wasted in front of the tv.
