How Will ‘Nashville’s’ Poor Ratings Impact ‘American Band’?
Nashville, FOX’s new docu-soap from the people who brought you Laguna Beach and The Hills, debuted last Friday with horrendous ratings. The show flopped worse than anyone could have imagined, finishing last among network shows, three of which were re-runs. That’s not a good way to start your series. FOX was looking to make Nashville a staple of its Friday night line-up and solidify the night as a viable ratings success in anticipation of The Next Great American Band’s debut in late October. Now that Nashville has thus far been a failure, how will that impact the future of American Band?…….
What’s she wearing?
Joel Stein tags along with “Access Hollywood” and finds out the secrets to good interviews.
…Nancy and Billy, meanwhile, were casually chatting up stars, while I was sweating profusely, pretending to know who I was interviewing. I spent an entire interview questioning a beautiful actress as she stood next to her unattractive date, with no clue that she wasn’t famous and that he was Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance?”

Anyone who’s read this blog for very long at all would know that I have frequently commented on the power-buying schemes, which started with Kelly Clarkson and “Operation: Thankful,” and continue to this day, so please keep your lectures to yourself, thanks.
“Exactly Izzy. Others disagree on your view of what’s amazing and what isn’t. You’re not helping Chris by defending him. No idol fan helps their idol by defending them. If anything they make it worse”.
Thanks Hezzer. Nowhere did I say Chris was “amazing”. I just saw multiple entries that were taking pot shots and decided to provide an alternative way of looking at it. So am I to understand, that the pot shots are allowed but the replies with a respectful but different point of view are not?
Of course they are Izzy. Every opinion is allowed here. As are pot shots on idols. Defensiveness about pot shots however, is not allowed.
I do find it facinating that you picked tonight, when MJ is happily attending the concert, to provide an alternative way of looking at things.
Have you guys seen this video with Paris and Dean Martin? I stumbled onto it and thought I would post for others to see. The first 20 sec the sound is really low but it kicks in after that.
