    Front & Center For The 'Ocean's' Invasion

    | Comments (1)
  • Last night, the big time, A-list, Hollywood premiere was back on center stage. The Hollywood premiere of 'Ocean’s Thirteen', with stars that can still draw thousands of fans, force helicopters into the sky and shut down the blvd.

    It was a night reminiscent of Howard Hughes' glamorous 'Hells Angels' premiere in the same spot over 70 years ago.

    It's almost as if George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Angelina, big stars who are far better known for their talent and charity from Darfur to New Orleans than anything else, brought the cameras back in focus on purpose... you know, away from the young destructive celebs that have dominated the news cycle as of late... its all been so depressing.

    The Summer TV Blues

  • Raise your hand if you are already bored this summer? Ok wait, technically Summer doesn't even start until June 21st. Now I'm really down in the dumps. Where has all the good TV gone? Maybe it's because I live in California, where the sun is always shining, that it's harder for me to deal with the loss of my favorite shows. There is only so much outdoor activities us couch potatoes can take. I don't mind that shows like "Lost", "Heroes" or "24" take a few months off. I'd just like something to replace them instead of being forced to tune into mediocre talent shows. Don't get me wrong I'm still watching them but more so out of necessity than actual interest.

    "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox has kept me interested this year by featuring some inspiring stories like the young girl who dances with a prosthetic arm after losing her arm in car accident. There is also a girl who nearly lost her life in a bombing in Israel. The footage is heartbreaking and fascinating all at the same time. It's no "Dancing with the Stars" though by the time they get the to live dance shows. Frankly, I'd rather watch has-been stars dance than amateurs trying to be professionals but it at least fills the Dancing void.

    To fill the void left by "American Idol" there is "America's Got Talent" which is returning for season two tonight on NBC. Brought to us by Simon Cowell, the show is a hodgepodge of bizarre variety acts and a few talented folks. The show did decent ratings for summer with Regis Philbin hosting. Now, Jerry Springer has stepped in and Sharon Osbourne is replacing Brandy. I think the most entertaining part of the show is seeing what bizarre behavior will come out of David Hasselhoff though. Let's hope now that he is in AA we still get a few moments of out him.

    Paris The Role Model?

  • Last night as I went to bed in my soft big bed, I couldn't help but think of Paris Hilton and her family...honestly.

    Soon she'll be adjusted and comfortable... The fears of prison life behind her, a whole band of prisoners having pledged their devotion to the ways of 'Hilty'. But for this moment, she was a 26 year old, child of tremendous privilege in a 12' x 8' cell trying to sleep. She is not a model citizen. In my opinion, the constant attention her antics attract, are worth shielding your children from. (Yes, my children do not watch my own show).

    But these first few nights have got to be gutting, lonely, scary and accompanied by all sorts of "commitments" to become a different person.

    I bet Paris is a truly sweet young woman right now. She is stripped of all her securities and relying solely on herself. I imagine she is at her most humble.
