Final Four Named to "America's Got Talent"

I normally don't watch America's Got Talent but while staying with family, I watch what they watch and I get suckered into shows with very little effort. Such is the case with AGT. Not that it's any huge inconvenience for me because I love Sharon Osbourne. How can you not? She's witty, she's outspoken and she's tough enough to have put up with Ozzy Osbourne for something like thirty years.

In any event, the final four named to the talent show are Michael Grimm (singer), Prince Poppycock (singer), Jackie Evancho (singer) and Fighting Gravity (performance troupe).

Jackie Evancho's slot is no surprise - - no way this 10 year old opera singing phenom wouldn't get voted through. There is no argument that Jackie is incredibly talented and has quite a career ahead of her but is she really qualified as a Vegas act? I don't think so.

Same for Michael Grimm, whose soulful voice is rich and sultry and should be gracing CDs and radio stations. This man should definitely be walking away with a recording contract - - did you hear him sing Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" ? Case closed.

The 13 fraternity brothers from Virginia Tech's Pi Kappa Alpha that make up "Fighting Gravity" are similar to The Blue Man Group and their illusionary act is most likely, in my opinion, to be worthy of a headline Vegas act.

Also quite an act is Prince Poppycock, whose flamboyant rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is sure to guarantee him at least an opening act somewhere.

So who do you think should go on to win the $1 million prize and headlining act in Vegas?

Lisa Cuddy: The Most Unprofessional Administrator of All Time

"When you bend over, I can see your IUD." Gregory House, M.D. Let me begin by saying I love House. I love Hugh Laurie. I love Wilson. I love Robert Sean Leonard. I don't, however, love Lisa Cuddy. I'm not sure where to begin but I know where it will always end up. Her fricking attire. Cuddy is supposed to be the administrator of a huge, well-respected hospital in Princeton, New Jersey. And yet she dresses in too tight skirts with too tight and too low cut blouses and sweaters like she's auditioning for a Hot for Teacher video. If I walked into a hospital and saw someone dressed like that I would assume either a) she's a stripper who suffered a slip and fall from the pole at work, b) she's an "enterprising" legal assistant/paralegal who is sleeping with her boss who is representing said stripper over the said slip and fall or c) she's a hospital receptionist who is looking to bag a wealthy doctor. Okay, maybe a bit extreme

Meet Melissa, the Queen Bridezilla

The lovely Melissa Photo Source: WETV.com So I was channel surfing last night and ended up having a good two (okay, maybe three) hours of my life drained by WE's bridal bitchfest Bridezillas . I realize the point of the show is to showcase what out of control hags some women are when planning their weddings but Miss Melissa really takes the cake. First, she claims to be 23 and I always find it interesting that most of these chicks look older than they claim to be. I'd like to see a birth certificate before I agree to that. She also claims to be in medical school, which is really funny considering (1) Melissa seems to have an awful lot of free time on her hands, to bitch, whine, complain and threaten to kill people and (2) for someone who claims to want a career saving lives, she sure talks about taking a lot of them. (Case in point: Melissa, concerned that she won't be happy with her wedding cake, tells the camera that if the baker screws it up, she will kill h

Bitch, Please: Toddlers & Tiaras

Okay, so I watched Toddlers & Tiaras this week. Had heard about it, heard in the past that it was a pedophile's dream show, how they exploited kids, blah, blah, blah. I was channel surfing and there was nothing else on so I stopped. And watched. Stunned. Do parents like these really exist? WTF is wrong with them? And how on earth does a 2 month old baby win a pageant? The least amount of drool? Best pacifier? Carried the best by parent? I'm confused. But I digress. Apparently the format is that each episode follows several kids and their severely in need of therapy parental units as they prepare for and then compete in some type of child's beauty pageant, with the end of the show being the crowning of the winners. This episode of T&T begins with the unforunately named Brystol of Lexington, South Carolina who is 18 months old and has supposedly won top prize in every pageant she has competed in. Before you snort and wonder how many pageants she
