Photo via rickey.org I don’t know why, but for some reason the people behind American Idol want David Archuleta to win. Maybe they’re hoping his presence will boost ticket sales for the summer tour. Maybe they’re trying to gain a larger share of the adult contemporary market. Or maybe they’re just plain loco. But the …

When I was in Europe a few weeks ago, there was one commercial that played over and over and over again on CNN International, and thankfully, I just found it on YouTube. It’s a bombastic spot intended to lure investors to the emirate of Ajman, but instead, it just kind of plays out like light …
Whew! The two part House season finale certainly put me through the wringer. It was hard to top last week’s fantastic episode, but Monday’s second installment came close.

Saturday’s season finale of SNL was a little disappointing, but there were still a few gems. Take, for instance, this Digital Short, which thankfully is not another music parody. Instead, it’s a near pitch-perfect recreation of The Office pilot. Definitely worth checking out.
Just over two months ago, I did something that I never thought I’d do: I hung out with Speidi. That’s right, I spent a morning intermingling with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars/villains of MTV’s hit show, The Hills. Needless to say, it was quite the momentous occasion, especially since it landed me on TMZ …
