MTV movie awards - Twilight sweep

Just finished watching the MTV movie awards hosted by Andy Samberg. Highlights from the night include Bruno's face in Eminem's crotch and his crotch in Em's face, Kristen Stewart dropping her award and LeAnn Rimes/Chris Isaac singing a medley of Samberg hits.

Samberg opened the show putting himself in scenes from Slumdog Millionaire, Twilight and the Reader. He was a pretty good host. A little raunchier than I expected but I guess it's MTV. After presenting a few awards, Twilight won for best kiss, best new actor, best actress, best fight and best film, Bruno shows up in assless chaps and angel wings hanging from the roof. Something goes wrong and they lower him in Eminem's lap. He ends up with his ass fully in Eminem's face. Em is pissed. His people get Bruno off and Eminem takes off swearing leaving the awards. He did not look impressed at all. The show resumed, Zac Efron went upstage and accepted his award, I didn't even hear the category from Bruno, even Zac looked confused. Then the moment many fans have been waiting for since last years Twilight film was the first trailer for New Moon. It was pretty good but still looked really cheesy. Up next was Kristen Stewart's acceptance for best actress. She is so awkward. You can just tell that she hates being the center of attention in public. She fumbles through a thank you speech and as she's about to finish up she drops the award. Cameron Diaz was kind enough to pick up the piece that broke off. Some other stuff happened, Ben Stiller won the generation award and Jim Carrey won an award. Ending the night was best film and of course it was Twilight that won. All cast members celebrated on stage as the credits rolled.

Not a bad show but I wish I could have those 2 hours of my life back. I could have just read about it after the fact. Oh well. Lesson learned.

And the winner is...

American Idol had it's final show of the season tonight and a side from being unbelievably good I'm sure there will be a lot of disappointed faces out there. What a great final show. I think it's definitely one of the best idol finales ever.

There were a ton of guest musicians and group numbers. Among them were KISS, Queen, Rod Stewart, the Black Eyed Peas, Cyndi Lauper and even Kara singing in a bikini. At the end of the night it was Kris Allen, the down to earth guy from Arkansas that took the crown. Just less than a 100 million votes were cast and in the end Adam Lambert, the eyeliner wearing showstopper was left in second place.

Now I know there will be much debate about this topic and who the winner should have been and personally I think the American voters got it wrong. But I will say that they are both extremely talented and will go on to do bigger things. Adam did get his face out there and was able to sing with the best of them. If you missed tonights finale you missed out on a lot. Adam came out in black wire wings and sang a medley with KISS. It was full of fireworks and pyrotechnics and one of the best performances of the season. If ever KISS needed a replacement singer Adam could definitely step. He fit so well.

Anyways that's enough of me singing Adam's praises. Congrats to Kris. He did make it this far and was a dark horse in the competition. I look forward to seeing the Idols this summer in concert.

Glee makes me happy!

Glee the new show from fox had its debut tonight after American Idol. It's a show about a teacher and his passion for teaching and glee club. I really enjoyed this show. It had a lot of popular music and while it was a little slow it finished up strong. Then again the only criteria I need to make a show or movie good to me is singing and dancing. If people can get past the first couple episodes and introductions of the characters I think it'll turn out to have a huge following.

Idol Final Showdown

I was really excited for American Idol tonight. I looked forward to it all day and was slightly disappointed by tonight's final performances. The contestants were to sing 3 songs tonight...one they previously sang, a song picked by Idol creator Simon Fuller and their first single if they were to win written by Kara. The night started off with Adam Lambert. He's my pick to win. He started off singing Mad World. It was a song he had done previously in the competition. It was good but I had seen it before. Kris Allen is up next singing Ain't no Sunshine. Again it was a song he sang before so I didn't think it was anything special. The judges commented and Simon declared Kris the winner of round 1. For the next round Adam sang Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cook. It was fantastic. Kris followed up by singing What's Going On by Marvin Gaye. Then came the final song of the night 'No Boundaries' written by judge Kara Dioguardi. Each contestant sang the song and Adam blew Kris out of the water. He had so much more power behind his voice than Kris does and I found Kris was lost in the big Nokia Theatre. I also liked how Adam changed his wardrobe for each song and really presented a rock star front whereas Kris came out in a long sleeved shirt and ripped jeans. I still think it's too close to call. There are a lot of votes that went to Danny last week that are up in the air this week. I have a feeling that those votes will be going to Kris because their music is similar. One things for sure is that American Idol is the show to watch tomorrow. Don't forget to set your PVR's to run late as Ryan Seacrest said they will be running over time. I don't understand this. They have 2 hours to announce the winner and it's still not enough time. Maybe if Idol stopped all the nonsense...we'll get to the results after the break...they might finish on time.

Grey's Anatomy Finale SERIOUSLY?!?

Wow! I can not believe what I just saw. I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor. Everything was looking so good that I thought we were finally gonna have a happy ending for a change. Mer/Der were "married" on a post-it note, Yang and Hunt confessed their love for each other, Izzie looked like she was getting better and gonna live happily ever after with Alex and BAM! with 7mins left until the end of the hour all hell breaks loose. The lightbulb finally went off when the Cheif was talking about O'Malley that he was the John Doe. Wow! I screamed at that moment. I was in shock. It was hard to watch as Meredith found out, John Doe was 007 was George.

I don't know what Shonda Rimes has in store for us next season. Are both George and Izzie dead? Did she really kill them? Really? Only 4 more months until the answer is revealed. I guess I have no choice but to wait. At least it's a shorter amount of time than the 9 months I have to wait for the answers to Lost.

American Idol Final 3

Wow! American Idol was fantastic tonight. The contestant by far is hands down Adam Lambert. He sang 'One' by U2 and 'Cryin' by Aerosmith. I got goosebumps listening to his performances. If he doesn't win there is definitely something wrong with America. I still don't know how Kris ended up in the final 3. Sure he can sing and he's original, I was surprised he made it into the top 13. I guess I'm still shocked by last week's booting of Alison. I thought for sure it would be her and Adam in the finals. Well, less than 24 hours until we find out the results. I can't wait!

Canucks lose and House Hallucinates

Well with a score of 7-5 the Chicago Blackhawks just kicked Vancouver out of the playoffs. Very disappointing for the Canucks after showing such promise in the first series. At the end of the day they couldn't pull it together.

In other news, House had it's season finale tonight and I'm still thinking about it. The sex with Cuddy turned out to be a hallucination from being high on Vicodin. I thought the ending was really well done and felt the writers had done a good job in fooling the me. I'm really excited for next season and can't wait to see what happens to House in the psychiatric/rehab facility.

The only problem I have is that doesn't it seem that all the shows have the same writer's nowadays or are just stealing ideas off each other. Bones, House and Grey's Anatomy all have characters experiencing hallucinations. What I've learned from Bones and GA is that if you are experiencing hallucinations it's a brain tumor. Good lesson I guess to get checked out immediately if you start seeing dead people. You're not crazy, just dying.

Apprentice and Amazing Race Finales

It was finale night for two of my favorite reality shows. First up was the Amazing Race. I was excited to see the outcome of this one. I knew it was going to be close with the remaining teams being so strong. I was really rooting for the cheerleaders. They had such bad luck throughout the race and in the end came in second. They won't walk away with anything having never come in first to win a trip. Like last year, the brother/sister team took the win.
Celebrity Apprentice also had it's final episode this evening. After three long hours Joan Rivers came away the winner. I was really excited for her after developing a strong dislike for Annie Duke throughout the season. I found that Annie completely didn't care about anyone but herself. I did this, I did that...enough about you I couldn't take it anymore. My favorite line of the night from Annie was when she declared "I know practically everyone in the world." How can you even say something like that. Um...Annie I haven't me you. You don't know me.

At the end of the night I was pretty satisfied by the finales and can't wait for next season.
