The Paula/Idol Thing

Can you smell hype? I can. I smell it whenever I see a late night TV talk show. Hype (or intense promotion) is so common, now, that sometimes it's hard to recognize. For example, the number one TV show in the USA is American Idol. The most visually attractive thing (for straight men) on the show is Paula Abdul. Last week, Paula's manager wrote to an LA paper saying that Paula may not appear on the show because of contract matters. Fact is, she needs the show and the show needs her. This isn't about money. It's about bringing attention to American Idol. That's all. Take a whiff. Can you smell the hype? You can bet the farm that Paula and her cleavage will be on this season's American Idol. Now, does anybody want to comment on national health care or cap & trade or the war on terror?

Seacrest - You're Worth It!

Ryan Seacrest has signed on for 3 more years as host of American Idol. His new contract is worth $45,000,000. That comes out to 15 mill a year. The question, of course, is, "Is he worth it?"

The answer, of course, is "HELL YES!" If someone is dumb enough to offer that kind of money...yes, you're worth it!

The money is actually coming from the show's sponsors, Coca Cola and Ford. Ford? Yes Ryan, take the money...quickly!

Antonella Should Sue

Antonella Barba (pretty hair) is a contestant on American Idol. From what I gather, she doesn't have much of a chance of winning. In the past few days, she's been linked to a number of pictures showing her engaged in sexual activity. Assuming that she does not want these pictures to be viewed pubically, she should sue! Sue who? Anybody who is making money on them! I'm sure that there are many lawyers in New Jersey willing to "dive in" on this one - especially if the pictures are not of her! They may want to check out the American Idol producers, too. This kind of cheap publicity is priceless! After all, who cares about a young lady's reputation? A network show's ratings are what really matters!
