Quick Thoughts Vol. 3

Here are some quick thoughts on some current stories.

Drugs Found on Justin Bieber’s Tour Bus.  So yesterday, tons of stories hit the net maintaining the Biebs was busted with drugs.  Well here’s the last and most important sentence of one of those articles:  “Police said that currently no one in Bieber’s entourage will be charged as of now – as investigators have no way to tell who was in possession of the illegal substance before it was left on the bus.” Unless you find drugs on the actual artists, these stories can stop. In my mind, it’s just another reason to malicely tarnish their image. Ohhh…and if I can really talk freely.  I don’t want to hear about a pot bust either.  Pot is d*mn near legal.  Call me when it’s meth or coke. 

Mariah being replaced with J.Lo on Idol?  Now wouldn’t that be interesting.  I remember when no one even wanted J.Lo on the show.  Now there’s talk of a possible comeback??  For what it’s worth, Fox has come out and strongly denied there was any truth to that rumor.  Supposedly, it was an inaccurate extrapolation from a  report that “Idol” would like to bring J.Lo back for the season finale.  Personally, I don’t believe this at all.  I know the ratings are low, but I don’t think the show will score any points by pulling a mean-girl / Today show type coup.  As we know, that plummeted Today’s ratings even more.  I think the bottom line is that the show is old.  It’s long and dragged out.  Many times the winners don’t become the huge artists that most feel they’re entitled to become.  There’s no way they can pinpoint Mariah, who incidentally hasn’t been the diva everyone predicted.  But perhaps that’s what Idol wanted.  For Mimi to act a fool and bring their ratings up.  Don’t fall for it girl. You have to eat after this debacle of a show goes off the air. Don’t be surprised if like J.Lo, Mariah takes her $18 million and heads for the hills.

A.J. Clemente explains F-bomb drop on Today show.  I didn’t know this guy got fired.  So A.J., an anchor on NBC’s North Dakota affiliate, released a F-bomb on live TV a week ago after totally butchering runner Tsegaye Kebede’s name. Supposedly while he was practicing the name, he let the F-word rip, but the broadcast started 30 seconds earlier than anticipated.  D*mn.  Don’t you hate when that happens.  Honestly, I’m so numb to curse words, I don’t even pause too much when I hear them.  I’m more offended by the hours of depressing coverage these local channels report.  Even more sad is how they tend to prey on those ‘rough around the edge’ citizens to explain happenings. To me, there’s a little bit of mockery there.  Local news is not the best and I honestly rarely watch it. But…. If I was betting woman, I would gamble that the ratings went through the roof when A.J. dropped  that little ray of sunshine. Well, worse things could happen.  Seeing as how he’s sitting on the couch at the Today show, I’d say A.J. and his potty mouth will be okay.
