PIC OF DAY There's been three interesting fashion challenges since I last wrote about Lifetime's Project Runway All Stars. The challenges included designing a look for a rich woman attending a Broadway opening, designing an outfit based on the colors of selected country flags and in the most recent episode as of this writing, designing an avant garde outfit involving actual lights integrated

Pic of Day Women tell all and the demonization of Courtney So I watched the "Women Tell All" version for BenF's season with The Bachelor. It was a fine job of the demonizing of contender Courtney, which was an ongoing theme this season, which was all scripted, as I assert. I also assert, as I always must, that scripting on these reality shows is minimal to invasive and there's nothing wrong

Pic of the Day    Not a Good Year for Cruise Ships Earlier there was the infamous brave Captain as covered on this Blog, who accidentally fell into the life boat and was unable to remain on the sinking ship as Captains are supposed to do. Now we have group of tourists who were robbed while on a land jaunt off of a Carnival Cruise. Details have been slow in coming but it would seem that the

Pic of the Day  Ending My Feud With WGMD for Lent This anecdote, such as it is, is part of a Lenten exercise. For I am to sacrifice something during this Lenten season as my recognizing of the pain Christ suffered as he died for our sins. The "sacrifice", as I understand it from the various sermons in my church, can't be something that doesn't cause some "pain", some...well...sacrifice.

Pic of Day Final Coming Up.  Will It Be Paul or Sarah? It has been a great Top Chef season this Top Chef Texas and I have quite enjoyed. The contenders got along, there was a minimum of absurd scripting. The meals as prepared by the contenders were still just as way out as always, to include rabbit hearts and pureed wasabi but that's the nature of the series. I don't quite understand why all

Pic of the Day So I have watched with half an eye the home town auditions, the Hollywood round, the angst of the top 24 notifications up to the top 13 announced last night before this writing-3/2/12. The Top 13 American Idol Finalists for 2012 are: Colton Dixon Deandre Brackensick Elise Testone Erika Van Pelt Heejun Han Hollie Cavanaugh Jeremy Rosada Jermaine Jones Jessica Sanchez Joshua Ledet

Pic of Day I must say I am impressed. Donald Trump was the architect of the original series called "The Apprentice" before it went celebrity. The original series was quite the success in its hay day but as these things go, the allure faded, other competitive reality shows rose to challenge. Seems that across the fruited plains America's interest in nobodies is very limited. But add

Pic of Day The biggest dog in the world, standing nearly 4ft high at the shoulder, 7ft long  and weighing nearly 18 stone It's just the strangest thing. I went to the web site for NBC's The Voice and you can buy the songs sung by the contenders in the blind auditions. BUY them? Why on earth would anyone want to BUY an audition song? I mean I might buy my granddaughter's audition song, my

Pic of the Day Midgets and Homosexuals I'm not surprised it's come to this. Because while this competitive reality series has its dedicated and die-hard fans, since Survivor's premiere there've been a plethora of this type of reality show which involved a scenario that has the contenders voting off their opponents until only one is left. They all have some sort of unique basis. In this

Pic of Day I've been watching this show for this a second year now. And it's not that I don't have an admiration, a genuine like, for this sort of show. Candid Camera was one of my all time favorite shows...ever. Of course Candid Camera captured people as they got caught up in humorous but very orchestrated situations. How could I ever forget the infamous talking mailbox? Some poor schmoe

Pic of Day I Never Did Learn How to Get Crisp Bacon This is a competitive reality series that might well only appeal to cooking food show junkies. Which would definitely include me. I've been covering Top Chef Texas and for a completely different point of view I saw this show offered up via email to my in box that I should watch, maybe even review. Finally, I thought, a show that will

PIC OF DAY The one at the bottom is not real Puppy Bowl Astounding Success So I sat down on SuperBowl Sunday and while awaiting the big game I did as I've done for many years prior. I tuned into Animal Planet and watched Puppy Bowl. And as I sat and watched the cute puppies playing some kind of doggie football in a mock "stadium" I thought to myself that I must be the only boobaloob in

PIC OF DAY...WARNING ADULTS ONLY-scroll down Could she possibly have not known what's she's showing? I think Shark Tank is a really great show. First, it's original. Second, it's well presented, excellently timed. Third, it is a competitive reality show that does a very good public service, that of bringing new inventions to fruition via the capitalistic assistance of investment

PIC OF DAY I'm Ready to Receive the Next Visitor So I did a little research on the Top Chef Texas contenders and their tallies to the day of this writing. On 11/16/11-Paul was on the winning team. On 11/30/11 Paul won the elimination challenge. On 1/5/12, Paul won the elimination challenge. On 1/18/12, Paul won the elimination challenge. On 1/26/12, Paul won the elimination challenge and

Looking coy and cute so Ben will pick me. Final Four Home Town Date Looms So Ben's down to four contenders for his heart and I've some thoughts. The four final gals, who will be visited by Ben in their home towns with their families also meeting Ben, are: Courney, Rachel, Lindzi and Kacie B. I think that Kacie will be Ben's chosen love, indeed I am pretty sure about it. It's very obvious

PIC OF DAY This horse is made of old horseshoes Happy Valentine's Day! What's Happened to the Music Today? I know my words will sound just like my father's a generation before me.  He lamented the destruction of the crooners of his era to be replaced by hip-grinding rock and rollers like Elvis Presley.  At a even later era he complained of the long-haired singers and their silly

PIC OF DAY  The Devil Himself by Eric Dezenhall It was an excursion into reading entertainment I'd suggest. The story was interesting, the tale of a young man seeking some truth about how the Jewish and Italian mafias somehow helped win World War II. Yes that's the main story in Dezenhall's book-"The Devil Himself" and it's done well. I think the fictional tale would have worked

PIC OF DAY Josh Powell Burns in Hell Even As You Read In 2009 I covered this story on this Blog.  I was a bit flip on that post though I did lament that the disappearance of Susan Powell on Dec. 6, 2009 was likely a disappearance along the lines of Drew Peterson's wife.  Murder by husband I call it. According to Susan's husband Josh, on the evening of 12.6 he packed up his kids for a camping

PIC OF DAY Birth Control Issue Racks the Country It's been a rollicking week just passed, one that had me, a devout Catholic, screaming, ranting, raving and sending emails to my priest. The email to my priest was a complaint about the issue of not talking about this issue from the pulpit. As my priest responded, HE did address this matter on all masses he conducted but the weekends in

PIC OF DAY They told him to smile for the camera The fashion challenges on Project Runway All Stars continue to get both more difficult and a little bit offbeat. Contenders continue to get eliminated and the possible winner begins to emerge.  As of this writing, there are nine PR All Star contenders left.  So far none of the remaining female contenders impress me enough to predict a winner.

PIC OF DAY He poses as a stuffed animal I watched the first episode of Fox's new platform for their Kiefer Sutherland star now that "24" is done. This is not the sort of show that normally pulls me in but the hype of the previews had me curious. That and I really did like "24" and figured maybe Sutherland can act another show to fame and fortune. Below is how the show's web site describes it

Pic of the Day The Winner is Announced. The requisite six episodes of Guy Fieri's and Rachel Ray's Food Network Celebrity Challenge has been aired and one disparaging sign is the fact that the last two episodes were both aired on the same night. If a show is proving to be wildly successful networks will try to spread them out. When all is said and done, also covered on this post,  this series

Pic of Day So It's been a rollicking week just past on the political scene. So many lies; so little time. Although to be fair Obamer gave the national tell-as-many-lies -in-a- little -over-an-hour-contest a real run for the money. Assuming there is such a contest and, if not, forget about it cause nobody will ever beat the State of the Union Speech of 2012. This lie that lasted an hour

Pic of Day The Problem With Magic shows The problem with magic shows, as I ponder, is that one can only stand them for so long until the desire to figure out how the tricks are done so overwhelm the audience that a long magic show begins to bore. Or maybe it's just me. Over my many years I've seen magicians make entire ships disappear. Disappearing humans and tigers is so yesterday nowadays

Pic of Day  The Strange Return of the Funeral Director-A Guess as to Why So Ben F continues on his quest to find his true love on ABC's The Bachelor. This show is always a hoot, especially at this point in the series. There is still a bunch of contenders and to add to the chaos, on the episode aired on 1/16/12, yet another strange contender returned from out of nowhere. I have a

Pic of the Day So okay we've had the Top Chef Texas contenders cooking elk and rabbits, grilling meats now most recently we had them open up their own restaurant-men versus the women. We'd taken a closer look at the contenders early on when I'd daringly said to keep eye on Ty-Lor but this promising chef was sent home after the restaurant challenge, now I must reconsider a new prediction.

His father, John Walsh, is a man of fame in that he has been the host of America's Most Wanted since its beginning. AMW has been a most successful show, both in terms of ratings and the capture of many criminals brought to justice by the public

PIC OF THE DAY I've right along been stating how puzzled I am over this series, this being my first season watching the action. Oh I understand the premise of a bunch of strangers being together on an exclusive locale and the concept of voting one out week by week. "Big Brother" works this way only the contenders live in a house. In the Survivor series, the contenders live out in some sort

PICTURE OF THE DAY ================== It was only a fluke, a very, very weird fluke, that I chanced to tune into this rather unusual show. In general I am seduced via email publicity copies to review a show or interview a would-be celebrity and if the plea entices I will schedule a view and maybe a review. But as follow-up on some show I was notified via moving banner at the bottom of

I'd heard many good things about the first movie, however, and I was quite okay with joining my granddaughter for an afternoon at the movies.

Pic of the Day So in my first article about this Bravo annual foodie reality show I put tongue in cheek and exalted the manner in which this show took your oddball ingredients and treated them as if the grandest cuisine. A recent episode had some of the contenders cooking rabbit and the would-be Top Chefs didn’t blink an eye as they praised rabbit as a staple of the freezer and a

I don’t suppose that this Bravo reality show competition will be viewed by swarms but by me it’s quirky enough to have me look in. Not that I am any artist though I do quite like to do paint-by-numbers. As for standing in a studied concentration

I’m not at all sure what the significance of being Top Chef “Texas” is, except I must suppose that the contenders are chefs from in and around Texas. Because, come on, in the first two episodes we had one main ingredient of rabbit and one dish featuring octopus. Nowhere was there a rack of ribs or anything charbroiled for that matter, the sort of foodstuffs one might expect in the great

So let's get this out of the way and suffer any scorn associated with my stance. Chaz Bono is NOT a male and I am a bit sick of the pretense we all endure to be "polite". One can, for a weird perversion, have one's breasts cut off. One can take male hormones that make facial hair appear, damn I have facial hair without the male hormones. One can, however it works, be fitted with an appliance

PICTURE OF THE WEEK "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese would definitely not be a book I would choose to read given my own choices. Which is not to say I didn't have a choice, at least in the literal sense of the phrase. I have a choice whether or not to belong to my book club and the member whose turn it was to choose the book chose, tada, this book. First, this is not a small book.

I’m thinking maybe The XFactor is sponsored by Pepsi, just throwing it out there. Could be the Pepsis so obvious in front of the judges that they might as well poke us in the eye. Or maybe it’s the shout that the winner of this contest will be in a Pepsi commercial as if such an honor is solidly equal to winning the five million dollars that would clue us in. Whatever the case, Pepsi is the

So okay, it was from boredom that I tuned in, with a touch of ever present disdain for that awful other daytime viewing option, The View. The world needs less of Whoopi Goldberg’s absurd political views and Joy Behar really needs to get laid. No wait! Behar did show up on ABC’s The Chew, my bad. If nothing else, is it a coincidence that The Chew rhymes with The View? The Chew features a

It seems as if every year some of the most promising contenders are eliminated early on. In this season’s Dancing With the Stars, as of this writing, there are eight contenders left. Chynna Phillips and Kristin Cavallari have been eliminated and let us now bow our heads and ask ourselves, seriously, Nancy Grace or Chaz Bono are better than those two? In mid-September both Cavallari and

Two Books reviews: “Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil” by John Berendt and “Who Named the Knife” by Linda Spalding. One a study of murder and life in Savannah, Georgia, the other, also a true crime genre, is a lesson in just how silly liberals can get.

We have a review of the Disney documentary “African Cats”. Marvelous camera work but not for every 7 year old. Also, it was the last book written before his death, Michael Crichton’s “Pirate Latitudes” is full of action, color and a true history or pirates and Jamaica.

iCatching up on the gardens this week we've lots of pics of the plants this spring of 2011. It's good but there's some horticultural editing needed. Here's a movie review of RIO, an animated film as pretty to watch as too the joyful plot. With an amusing story of a "Blue" bird that visited my own modest backyard. We’ve got a book review of a book that’s nebulous as to weather it’s fiction

Got a book review on the 60’s musical “HAIR”. Yes it’s a musical that defined a generation. This book, titled, appropriately, “Hair” by Eric Groce is chock full of history, pictures, lyrics and memories of this former ersatz hippie. For movies we’ve got a peek into that cuter than cute “Gnomeo and Juliet”. Yes it’s an adorable animated story for the young ones but what about this movie so

Book Review:-"Everything She Ever Wanted" by Ann Rule. Pat Taylor Allanson liked to cook for folks but she had a heavy hand with the arsenic. Her story is shocking, a story of a woman who wanted so much that she'd kill with no compunction to get it. A riveting read.

"Robot Hearts" is a well-written compilation of online dating adventures, the good, the bad and the ugly. My own story-"We Did It!"- is included in this collection and it may well be the only one with a happy ending. Really bad people tend not to accept their get-out-of-jail-free cards and go off to live a quiet, low-key life, thankful for the freedom they don't deserve. No. Like Oj Simpson,
