Pointless Study

I was reading on-line somewhere that they did this study on texting. Personally, I despise anything having to do with texting. As a matter of fact, that goes for using a cell phone for anything other than talking. Call me old fashioned, but a phone should be used as a phone, not a mini-computer Do we really need all these gadgets and gizmos and other pointless apps?

Anyway, on to the point of this post, this study really let us all in on something we didn't know *not the sarcasm*. Teen girls text more than boys. Raise your hand if you didn't already know that.

Can you believe that money was actually spent studying this? I mean, this is what we spend our hard earned tax dollars on, to find out that girls text more than boys. Do we really need to know that?

And we wonder why we don't live in a future like we expected because of The Jetsons and Back to the future II, its because of these stupid studies!

Good and bad

Last night, I went to hear my goddaughter's band concert. I won't go into detail, but say that it was bad...very bad. I'm seriously thinking of talking to her parents about getting her placed into a much better program (like mine...lol)

As bad as it was, I must say, I was ecstatic to come home and find out that the heavens opened up and Kate was voted off Dancing with the Stars!

Of course, I totally forgot to set the DVR for Glee. Hopefully I'll be able to find the episode on line.

So, it was a mix of good and bad last night. I was more happy to get away from this overly busy schedule I'm on right now than anything. The sooner school is out and I can get to catching up on the sleep I'm missing, the better. Of course, knowing me, I'll wake up earlier then than I do now.

Eye Candy 4/18

Female Hottie: Zoe Saldana

The first hottie for this week is Zoe Saldana. All of a sudden she seems to be everywhere from last summer's Star Trek to the forthcoming movies The Losers, as well as starring in Deth at a Funeral and being motion captured in order to star in Avatar. I first learned of her in Drumline. This multiethnic beauty seems to be poised for a breakout year.

Male Hottie: Eric Dane

Affectionately referred to by millions of women who drool over the men and intertwine themselves in the storylines of Grey's Anatomy as McSteamy, this week I bring you Eric Dane. Dane has also had some success on the big screen, starring in Marley & Me, X-Men: The Last Stand, Valentine's Day and some guest spots on TV shows like Charmed, Roseanna, Married...with Children and he can be seen returning to the big screen with Cher and Christina Aguilera in Burlesque.

Random hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Sarah Carter

This week's random hottie comes from the movie DOA: Dead or Alive. Sarah Carter can currently be seen on CSI: NY, While her resume isn't exactly lengthy, she has had a variety of guest roles on shows such as Smallville, Entourage, Numb3rs, Boston Legal, Dark Angel, as well as some big screen work in movies like Skinwalkers, Red Mist, and National Lampoon's Pledge This!. Hopefully her career will taker a major upswing and we'll see more of her soon enough.

MILF: Jennifer Hudson

Our MILF for the week is someone who has become a success despite not winning American Idol. Jennifer Hudson may have come in 7th in her season of the show, but who else that has been on there can boast winning an Oscar? She gave birth to a son in August and is now a spokesperson for Weight Watchers.

Classic/Retro Hottie: Shelley Winters

Looking at that picture, you would never know that it was Shelly Winters, if you saw her in her later years, but true enough, it is. Shelley Winters had a nearly 50 year career, starring in films such as A Place in the Sun, The Diary of Anne Frank, Pete's Dragon, Alfie, Alice in Wonderland, Cleopatra Jones, etc. It has been stated that her personal life rivaled that of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor (she was married 4 times). Her TV appearances include Here's Lucy, Batman, and Roseanne. Shelly has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as one in her home town of St. Louis.

Quote of the Week

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt.

Retro Commercial Friday

In case you were wondering what ever happened to this guy, he was the White Knight in SyFy's Alice and Moloch in The Watchmen.

How?!?

I don't know how many of you watch Dancing with the Stars. I, myself, only catch bits and pieces of it, then watch the highlights on shows like The Soup.

However, with Chuck being a rerun Monday night, I actually caught a good chunk of the entire show...until Big Bang Theory came on.

I have but one complaint. How is Kate Gosseling still there? Are those insane housewives who do nothing more than sit at home eating bon bons and watch soap operas all day actually that numerous that they're single handily keeping her in this thing?

Seriously, she sucks beyond all recognition. I know that Buzz Aldrin, who was voted off last week, wasn't that great, but he was better than her. She just looks like a blow up doll being dragged across the dance floor by her partner.

Don't even get me started on her crying and trying to make everyone feel sorry for her because the paparazzi chase her down. If she didn't want that life, then she should have never done that blasted Jon & Kate Plus 8. It's that simple.

So, I"m seriously thinking I may have to start voting, if for no other reason that to see this no talent hack get what she deserves.
