The Rumor Mill: Jersey Shore's Snooki Tell Unsopporters How She Feels

by: Randi M.

Click image for source.

MTV’s show Jersey Shore has received non-stop criticism. And more companies have been removed from the show’s list of sponsors. Nicole Polizzi, known as “Snooki” on the show, didn’t hold anything back when she told Steppin Out Mag how she really felt.

“I just have one thing to say to Domino’s, Dell, UNICO and all the other haters out there,” she yelled. “F*** you! If you don’t want to watch, don’t watch. Just shut the hell up! I’m serious… F*** you!”

The Italian – American Organization, UNICO, have been the biggest people against the show. UNICO encouraged the show’s sponsors to boycott the show, and they haven’t turned down the heat. In their response to Snooki’s comments, the organization says, “She is not an embarrassment to Italian Americans — she is actually an embarrassment to the entire human race!!!!”

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE JERSEY SHORE!

Sup faggots? Yeah, that’s right. This is Pauly D from MTV’s hit reality television show Jersey Shore. You’re all fucking no life losers. You think you’re all cool with your internets, blogs, and pictures of cats. What the fuck is that even about? That shit’s for pussies.

A real guido knows where his priorities are. Instead of sitting at home alone in your mommy’s basements, you should be out at the clubs pumpin’ your fists to some hot house music. You still wouldn’t even get a hot wifey like me. I’m fucking crawlin in bitches. I bring home the pussy in barrels bro. FUCKIN BARRELS.

The real reason for this shout out was to wish all you Sick Damage faggots a very merry Christmas just like we do in good ole’ Italia. My fuckin Christmas stocking looks like the Italian fucking boot of Italy bro. You don’t have shit for stockings. Your fucking stocking is as weak as my swollen juiced up nut sack.

Before I stuff my mouth with a nice plate of hot monicotti, i’m gonna down a fuckin Poweraid. So when it comes time to opening those Christmas gifts, I’ll be in the fuckin zone bro.

I already made a list for Saint Nicholas of the gifts I want bro. You know, nothing but the essentials. I need my industrial sized tub of Got2B Glued hair gel. Gotta keep that the hair defying gravity at all times. For those sick blow out haircuts all the guidettes love so much. I also asked for an assortment of skin tight white V-neck muscle shirts that I can rip out of like the fuckin Hulk bro. Last but not least bro, I want a bottle of that spray-on tan stuff. That shit lets me look like a Teddy Graham all real nice and shit. I ain’t got time for the real tanning shit. It’s winter bro, the beaches are whack.

Alright, all this fuckin typin’ has got me all ancey bro. I should be hittin’ the gym right about now anyway. Do a few squats and snort a thermos of NO-Xplode. Just remember, while you’re busy playin with your Furbys and Nintendos like a bunch of jerk offs on Christmas day, I’ll be hitten the Jersey Shore with mah boiz keepin it Fresh2Death. If you look hard enough, maybe you’ll spot me. Look for an Ed Hardy hat in between two arms the size of planets. Yeah, you heard it.  Be easy ya queefs. I’m gonna go stick my dick in a connoli.

Peace.

-Pauly D

ps. “The Situation” is a pussy.

De-Criminalizing Children

Every day children are sent to jail, not for heinous crimes.  Most are sent for non-violent crimes, and to adult prisons at that.  Can you imagine leaving your room, warm bed, computer, internet, games, books, comics, cartoons, parties, cellphones, and everything else you enjoy in life.  See in jail, you may have television but you have to watch it with over 50 other people who may not like to watch the things you like.  It’s real and happening every day.  To your friends, family, and can happen to you.  I would like to know your thoughts on this topic because children like you are the victims and the only ways we (adults) can help is by listening to you.  What do you need to keep you from getting caught up?  What do you see in your daily life that would help us know how to help you.  It’s time your true voice come out.

MTV Top Women of the Year 2009

Lady GaGa 2009

Lady GaGa in a Ziggy moment

With sales of singles and albums topping most lists around the world, Lady GaGa had a tremendous 2009. MTV has put together its list of the “Top Women of 2009” and there is a surprising range.

Taylor Swift mixes cute and glamour with ease

Taylor Swift mixes cute and glamour with ease

As expected, music is to the forefront yet there are many styles represented. The addition of Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame is intriguing as she is one of the less-celebrity-minded young film stars, often criticised for her moody, even gothic image.

The year belongs to Lady GaGa for music and style and attitude as she conquered the charts and our hearts and minds. Style icon? You bet! Perhaps no surprise, though, that Adam Lambert of American Idol named Lady GaGa as his personal Woman of the Year. Lambert declared, “Everyone knows that I get all obsessed over her.”

Lady Gaga’s album The Fame was responsible for hit singles but also proved to be a thematic triumph. In our view very few people since the Ziggy days of David Bowie have made such an impact in terms of futuristic style.

Here, then, is the MTV list of the Top Women of 2009:

Kristen Stewart is more the rebel

Kristen Stewart is more the rebel

1. Lady Gaga

2. Taylor Swift

3. Rihanna

4. Beyoncé

5. Miley Cyrus

6. Britney Spears

7. Kristen Stewart

8. Susan Boyle

9. The Kardashians

The last two names emphasise a few other aspects of modern culture, none more than reality tv. But Susan Boyle also shows that popularity and talent can span the globe. Some say The Beatles had a struggle to conquer America. Susan certainly didn’t.

A Jersey Lady on the Jersey Shore, Part One

Being from New Jersey, born and raised, I have the distinct pleasure of watching Jersey Shore from a perch of experience.

That’s right. I’m not only from New Jersey, I have gone down to the shore for most of the summers of my life. I’ve gone to many different parts of the shore – possibly even Seaside Heights (which is where the Jersey Shore people are and which, if you are a respectable shore-goer, you call Sleazeside Heights) – but mostly, I go way down the shore. Far enough down where you get away from the New York trash on the show. Unfortch, you start running into the Philly trash when you get far enough down, so really, there is no escape from outsiders invading our semi-fine beaches.

Let’s take a quick moment to map it up and see just what’s going on here. Geography up in this mo.

Break it down y'all.

Your “Jersey Shore” key:

Red dots – where these Jersey Shore kids are from. Please note – ONLY ONE is actually in NJ. There’s a big cluster where 3 different people are from Staten Island.
Red X – Seaside Heights

Yellow zone – Safe zone. This is North Jersey proper, aka a good place to be from. Above the blue line is too north. This is the boonies. This is where Weird, NJ type things happen. Below the line is too south. This is where most if not all of the Jersey stereotypes come from – accents, big hair, Bruce. You want to be in the yellow.

Green zone – The ideal sector of the Safe Zone. The pinnacle of Jersey balance. You live in NJ, but not near anything scary, you have enough highways to get to the mall, but you also have trees. Lots of trees. If you need to move to NJ, you need to move in here.

Green line – The part of the shore that it is acceptable to go to. Long Beach Island and south. If Seaside Heights did not exist, keep in mind that these people would end up in LBI, so you will probably want to venture even further south if you can. Remember: the further the go, the further from New York you are.

Is this stuck up? You betcha. But you know what? For all of the crap New Jersey gets every day of the week, especially now that Jersey Shore is on and not enough people are fully aware of how Not Jersey it is, I think I am allowed to distance myself enough from these people to be stuck up about it. Green Zone, baby. Green Zone.

To Be Continued.

The Korgis

Another one-hit wonder, at least on this side of the Atlantic, from the world of music. The Korgis were a British Band that hit #18 with the song “Everybody’s gotta learn sometime” back in 1980. It would be their only chart hit in the US though they did remain successful for many years back in their native England. Back when this song hit the radio when I was in High School, me and all my friends were sure that the lead singer of the band had to be a woman. Not until we saw the video were we all proven wrong. Now, 30 years later….still a great song……stupid name for a band…..but a great song.

Guten Tag Heidi

 

Laguna Lovers

Glamour Germany really likes those MTV reality kids. Here’s a cameo appearance from the publicity shy Heidi Montag, on one of my favourite pages in Glamour, entitled ‘Hey it’s OK’. While I have an inbuilt aversion to Mrs Pratt nee Montag, I do agree with the statement Glamour have illustrated with her picture. Of course it’s okay to put make-up on in public, if it’s good enough for Dita, Winona (and I suppose Heidi) it’s good enough for me. Mind that mascara face though, sometimes it’s not so pretty.

Music.

Music. Is 1 of e few that could actually reach out straight to my heart & literally ‘touch’ it. Wat I mean is, it is so inspirational, so impactful, it never fails to make me feel… How should I say it (it’s a v indescribable feeling). Great music (especially sad songs) always seem to literally bring me into the story, e emotional state, & it seems that ‘I’ (who is supposed to be listening to e music) have disappeared. I can totally feel e song, e agony… e hurt… Watever, it is.

It is how powerful music ‘affects’ me. It can totally make me cry, upset, high, happy & so on. Just with that 1 song. It will do e job.

Some songs… e music. I totally love e chinese instrumentals. It’s just simply lovely. e lyrics. How meaningful or sad they are… Or realistic, it seems. e mtv. e story. e story e song is trying to tell…

Today, I actually wanted to share a list of songs that never fail to touch my heart/ make me full of emotions while I was traveling in the train earlier… That was my initial intention. But I think I’ll just change it to just ONE song. Coz’ I heard it in my mp3 player and thought maybe, I’d just share this one 1st… IF I WERE A BOY. By Beyonce Knowles.

If I were a boy even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
‘Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man

I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
‘Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man

I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
And you don’t understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man

You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause you’re taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

I like how e mtv/ lyrics/ story goes… I think this song reaches out to many girls out there. e lyrics are so spot-on and I like e way e guy & girl switches roles for that 1 day. It would be great IF IT COULD BE REALITY so that these guys know how it feels. And then at the end of it, it ends with “But you’re just a boy”. Which is, pretty much, back to reality. This song is simply so meaningful and ‘lovely’. And sad…

TV is out of touch

I was taking a break and enjoying a bacon and egg sandwich when I noticed a program called My sweet sixteen on MTV and I couldnt believe what an abomination of my time this is. Are they being ironic? If so maybe they should rebrand as Irony TV rather than Music Television. My hunch is they know what they are making is shit, but it pleases a certain demographic which therefore ensures it is made. Its just retarded. But i am not 16 or a peadophile. maybe if I was 16 I would watch it? OF COURSE I FUCKING WOULDNT! I was too busy playing in a band, drinking in fields and “discovering myself”. Perhaps if I was a girl and 16 I would watch it? AHHHHHh 16 year old girls, dirty old men and peadophiles THATS THE MARKET. Good work MTV.

Incidentally while taking a nap after my big sandwich, I lifted my cap and to the sound of “So this is Christmas” playing the hostel jukebox i saw a starving child in africa advert.  The older i get the more of a grinch I become and listening to Christmas songs to the imagery of children starving just made me think how disconnected I am from the rest of the world.

Whats more the advert was placed between My Sweet Sixteen, a show where girls cry if their car is not expensive enough and their friends wear dresses better than their own. Do many 16 year old girls have an income and give to charities  that help the hungry? Whats the demographic for that? Is this irony?

 It couldnt be more perfectly demonstrative of how out of touch mainstream television is with real people and real life and it demonstrates a lack of morals and a complete disregard for human life. 

MTV are on the shit list

Farwell to Alexa Chung

We’ll catch you later.  Alex Chung cancelled.

MTV live talker “It’s On With Alexa Chung” will not be returning after its second-season finale Dec. 17.
Series, hosted by the British TV personality, featured interviews, musical guests and pop-culture news along with an interactive component. Having debuted as an hourlong show in June, it returned for its second season Oct. 19 as a half-hour in a new 3:30 p.m. timeslot.

MTV programming prexy Tony DiSanto told Daily Variety the cabler is “100% committed” to a studio-based, live pop-culture show with music and interviews, but indicated that the network is still searching for the right formula.

“The difference between these (and scripted shows) is you have to develop these on the air,” said DiSanto, adding that “we make the changes until we settle on the show that’s what we want.”

Eminem Beat Out the Beatles?

Here are the latest lists from Nielsen SoundScan highlighting the top ten selling albums and top ten downloads of the decade.  “Back in 1999, Eminem was best known as the slightly screwy, bottle-blond protégé of Dr. Dre. Ten years — and millions of albums — later, he’s about to be known as the best-selling artist of the decade.  On Tuesday (December 8), Nielsen SoundScan — which tabulates the Billboard charts — released their lists of the best-selling artists, albums and songs of the ’00s. And let’s just say the past 10 years have been very good for Mr. Mathers.” (read full article on MTV.com)

Considering Taylor Swift has only been selling music since her debut album in October 2006, you go girl!  The fact that she even made the list is mind boggling!  At only the age of 19, this has truly been her year!  It wouldn’t be surprising if Barbara Walters reveals her tonight as the number 1 most fascinating person of 2009.  Between dating a Twilight werewolf, becoming best friends with Kanye West and sweeping the CMAs and AMAs, as well as many other awards, she is unstoppable.  Rascal Flatts should have handed over their most recent CD title to Taylor.

The top-selling albums of the decade, according to Nielsen SoundScan:

1. The Beatles, 1,11,499,000 units sold
2. ‘NSYNC, No Strings Attached, 11,112,000 units sold
3. Norah Jones, Come Away With Me, 10, 546,000 units sold
4. Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP, 10,204,000 units sold
5. Eminem, The Eminem Show, 9,799,000 units sold
6. Usher, Confessions, 9,712,000 units sold
7. Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory, 9,663,000 units sold
8. Creed, Human Clay, 9,491,000 units sold
9. Britney Spears, Oops! … I Did It Again, 9,185,000 units sold
10. Nelly, Country Grammar, 8,461,000 units sold

The top-selling digital songs of the decade, according to Nielsen SoundScan:

1. Flo Rida feat. T-Pain, “Low” 5,214,000 units sold
2. Lady Gaga feat. Colby O’Donis, “Just Dance,” 4,690,000 units sold
3. Jason Mraz, “I’m Yours,” 4,619,000 units sold
4. Timbaland feat. OneRepublic, “Apologize,” 4,439,000 units sold
5. The Black Eyed Peas, “Boom Boom Pow,” 4,349,000 units sold
6. Soulja Boy Tell’em, “Crank That,” 4,315,000 units sold
7. Lady Gaga, “Poker Face,” 4,200,000 units sold
8. Coldplay, “Viva la Vida,” 4,140,000 units sold
9. Taylor Swift, “Love Story,” 4,005,000 units sold
10. Katy Perry, “Hot N Cold,” 3,945,000 units sold

With the exception of Taylor… where’s the country??  Country has the most devoted fans, some of the biggest tours – but they can’t crack the top ten in either one of these categories.  With Taylor Swift leading the way making country more and more main stream, we could see these numbers change in the next ten years.  People like Kenny, Brad, Reba or Martina… they need to join the ranks of the top ten selling albums and downloads.

These top ten lists suggest that people by into the drama – Eminem, Lady Gaga, Britney, Black Eyed Peas all bring a certain mystery and flair to their entertaining presentation.  Are the songs quality or are people buying into the hype?  What made these songs popular?  As long as artists like the Beatles, Coldplay, Jason Mraz and Norah Jones grace these lists, songwriters will continue to prevail.  Vote on your favorites now.  Leave your comments and reactions to these top tens – discussions are always welcome!

Amazed that this is all scarily real

For two hours the other night, four heavily-tanned men hollered at morally questionable women, fought a man who dared look at them and spent plenty of quality time getting jacked. In the same time frame, four self-described “classy” women, also bronzed past the point of comfort, detailed their desire to hook up with guidos and called any girl who was not her a “slut” or a “whore.”

Strangely, I couldn’t change the channel, and I suspect that there is only one way to describe this phenomena: I was vibing.

Not familiar with that word? Don’t worry. No one is. At least, no one was.

MTV changed that.

Yes, on Thursday night MTV aired the first episode of the reality series, “Jersey Shore.” In short, this is a show about eight guidos, an obnoxious subculture of Italian-Americans, living together on the East Coast.

But that’s just a cosmetic description. For those of us in the Midwest, the show is eye-opening confirmation of what had been a mystery. We have finally discovered that there really are people who act like complete meatheads and are proud of it.

Others have been equally impressed. Notably, the Web site “Gawker,” has gone as far as to call “Jersey Shore” a reality TV show revolution.

And Gawker is correct.

Reality shows have long been artificial. Paris Hilton looking down on farmhands in Arkansas is not real. Living with 15 jerks and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on a deserted island and eating worms is not real.

Neither is vying for the love of a 50-year-old washed up rapper with gold teeth who can say his name in a mildly funny tone, or attending Tool Academy.*

*I just found out what this show was on Saturday. Later that day, I read a blog on Joe Posnanski’s Web site about Tiger Woods and in it, he mentions “Tool Academy” because apparently one of Woods’ alleged mistresses appeared on that show. He didn’t know what it was either. There are so many reality shows out there, and I bet most people couldn’t name half of them.

“Jersey Shore,” though, is real, more of a National Geographic special about the Galapagos Islands, than “Temptation Island.” Rather than put people in a fake, made-for-TV environment, MTV has filmed eight obnoxious people in their natural habitat, the Jersey Shore, or as the show’s creators cleverly wrote on a wall decoration in the house, “Nu Joisy.”

This is a true depiction of a culture where vibing is acceptable lingo for getting along well with someone or something, where men need 15 bottles of hair gel and an hour to prepare to “get after it,” and where a “situation” is not a state of affairs but rather an obnoxious man’s description of his abdomen muscles.

Indeed, Gawker’s blog about the show is not a story but a “field study.”

One thing missing from its study, though, is how truly captivating all this is to those of us who don’t live on the East Coast, among guidos.

Through the eyes of a Midwesterner, like video-taped activities of Amazonian tribes, the documentation of these people truly provides an educational experience, a lesson in the art of narcissism and abrasiveness.

Here in the Midwest, guidos were previously known almost entirely through the YouTube video “My New Haircut.”

This video features a young man who is sporting the same new greasy haircut all of his friends have. He is sitting at a bar ordering Jaeger bombs.

But before he does this, he talks of “stotting” fights. He calls the bartender “chief,” the same name that one of his friends uses for the desk worker at his apartment complex.

This friend, who has curly hair, is noticeably upset. There is, of course, a plausible reason. His mother has forgotten to restock his protein stash.

Without protein, he can’t grunt while “getting his swell on” at the gym so people can see how “jacked and tan” he is.

Without protein, he can’t join his friend at the bar, who by the end of the video, has yelled Jaeger bomb several times while wildly gesturing to no one in particular, before slamming his drink in one gulp.

People like this are rarely, if ever, seen in Midwest cities.

Instead, arrogance reaches its peak with the collar popper, a person so cool that his neck is adversely affected by cold climates causing him to fold up the uppermost part of his polo, and even that subset of jerk is quickly fading.

We hear about guidos from college friends who hail from New York, New Jersey, Boston or another East Coast city. We might even catch glimpses of them if we travel to those places, if we visit bars in those places.

But we really knew guidos only from “My New Haircut.”

It all seemed like a joke. People didn’t actually act like that. They couldn’t actually act like that.

But now we have “Jersey Shore.” Already, by watching only one program, I’ve learned so much.

Guidos are actually just the males. Girls are called guidettes. These women love guidos and as one expresses, her desire is to meet the ultimate guido one day and start a guido family.

The males and females share several characteristics. They love to spray chemicals in their hair for long periods of time. They often own personal tanning beds. They have nicknames, ranging from “The Situation,” to “Snookie” to “J-Woww.”

Despite these similarities, when placed in Seaside Heights, N.J., in a house that features a garage decorated with an Italian flag that has the outline of the state of New Jersey emblazoned in the middle, not surprisingly, the guidos and guidettes clash.

As one might predict, a disagreement breaks out because of “sluts.” The boys invite three of them into the hot tub, and the guidettes go crazy.

And it is all real. The fights, the people, ther personalities, everything except the steroid-produced muscles and surgery-enhanced physiques. THEY ARE REAL.

Mike, who goes by the name “The Situation” because he has the aforementioned abs, is not playing to the cameras when he convinces a girl shopping at the T-shirt store he works at to make pink shorts that read “We’ve Got a Situation” on the rear.

Other examples: Sammi, a guidette, spurns “The Situation,” even though she was clearly vibing with him and discussed with him this instance of vibing, stating solely that fellow housemate Donnie, a behemoth of a man with spiky hair, is hot.

Nicole aka Snookie really doesn’t know how to use a land-line telephone. Pauly D, at 29 years old, really does want to make out with two 20-year-old “sluts” at the same time and style his hair for 20 minutes every day.

These people aren’t provoked. This show is a medium for them to express their true desires and feelings, for them to demonstrate and educate to those of us who didn’t believe this type of behavior was possible, that they truly are attempting to reach hair-gelled, tanning-oil-soaked nirvana.

Of course, the depiction of the guidos and guidettes is causing a bit of controversy. Italian-Americans aren’t laughing so hard. Neither, I would suspect, is the state of New Jersey.

But my advice?

Just vibe with it.

The cast of 'Jersey Shore' are the worst people

If you have seen the massive publicity, watched the clips, read the blogs or even (God help you) watched the show, you know that it is INDISPUTABLE that the cast of MTV’s new reality show “Jersey Shore” are the WORST PEOPLE. Are they the worst people in the world? I don’t know. They are possibly the WORST PEOPLE in the tri-state area (only one of them is from New Jersey). The premise of the show: a group of male and female “Italian-Americans” shack up in a beach house at the beach in New Jersey for the summer. These people are known as and call themselves “guidos.” Basically it means Italian-American white trash. This show – and the cast – have generated quite a shocking amount of hate and discourse online. I don’t know what the fuss is about, as: 1. We know that by nature, famewhores on reality shows are often really horrid people; 2. We know that white trash are often really bad people, and: 3. Put a WHOLE group of disgusting people together and you achieve WORST PEOPLE critical mass.

Read more about this show and watch clips at Jezebel . Also, great socio-/anthropological analysis here at Gawker. Be prepared for some nastiness. Some great quote from the show (thanks, Jezebel for pulling these):

‘”Go upstairs with your whores and have fun.” = Funny

“I will cut your hair while you’re sleeping.” = Funny

“If a girl’s a slut, she should be abused.” = Unforgivably sickening. Like this show, really.”

For now, the consensus seems to be that the cast of “Jersey Shore” are the WORST PEOPLE.

Thanks for reading!

SOPHIE: A Dark Angel

“Leeds-based agency Propaganda has produced a haunting animated short in tribute to Sophie Lancaster, the young Goth who was kicked and beaten to death by a mob in August 2007 in Bacup, Lancashire…”      (From Creative Review)

Sophie and her boyfriend were attacked, just because of the way they were dressed. This video has been created to raise awareness.

“It is a collaboration between Propaganda, French illustrator and animator Fursy Teyssier, band Portishead (whose track Roads provides a suitably emotive soundtrack) MTV, and make-up company Illamasqua – who fully funded it.”

“The key message of SOPHIE: Stamp Out Prejudice, Intolerance and Hatred, Everywhere – hence the commissioning of this film.”

The Hills/City Finale Wrap-up

I’ll begin with the short version. It was disappointing. Both The Hills and The City were not unlike any other regular episodes. Neither of them felt like a finale of any kind. I am not pleased, because I spent a good chunk of time debating on which one I would lend my attention to, Hills/City, or the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show which was airing at the same time. I chose Hills, because I thought it would be entertaining, and would also leave me much less guilty about the bag of candy in my lap.
For those of you missed it, here’s the rundown. For those who still plan on watching it, look away now. Unless of course, you don’t give a shit or can predict what happened anyway, even though it was nothing. NOTHING HAPPENED!

The Hills

Okay. So first, Spencer and Brody are playing basketball while Spencer bitches about his evil, scheming wife. First of all, when did they even become friends again? Second, sure Spencer has right to complain about his wife trying to trick him into fatherhood, but how many shady things has he done before? He painted her apartment with graffiti, surprised her with a pinball machine (she didn’t like the pinball so it was probably more for him), picked out their house before she could get a say, and made her shut her mother out of her life. He’s pretty much the devil. I hope they don’t have that child. I think she will become pregnant in 2012 and that’s how the world will end.
Hmm then what happened… Heidi got some extensions, Audrina met with Justin Bobby and complained a lot. Neither myself, nor Justin know or care what she was talking about.

Then Kristin was all, bitching about leaving her sweet summer Barbie beach home, with Stacie the bartender who was apparently a squatter there. Who shows up to her house but Justin Bobby!

He was all like, “you do special things to me, be my girlfriend.”, and Kristin said “Okai fine.”
THENN.. Jade and Brody were at an engagement party, and Jade’s friend planted seeds in her brain that stemmed into thoughts of engagement and babies with Brody. Jade got whatever Heidi has and asked him about vomiting committing, but Brody was not having it. He was like, “Bitch, whatchu talkin’ about we just got back together an hour ago!”. On a side note, does anyone remember when he dated Nicole Richie?

That’s strange. Brody also told some of his friends that he might still want to do Kristin.
Moving on, I forget. But trust me it was nothing explosive. Lots of lead-ins with no results. The whole episode felt like when you’re about to sneeze but then you just, don’t.


Here’s what happened. Whitney designed her own clothes and Kelly Cutrone, who I both love and fear intensely, said she was Whitney’s bitch and will help her get a meeting with supermegaimportant Bergdorf Goodman. Kelly was like, “Don’t bring your bogan friend Roxy who screws everything up”

Bogan


Whitney went against the wise Ms. Cutrone’s advice and brought Roxy anyways. She wasn’t soo bad, but any good behavior is canceled out thanks to her epic fails at the photoshoot last week. Including spilling champagne on one of Whitney’s dresses. It was technically the model that spilt it, but Roxy made her hold and pop the bottle open, and this model took really good direction. Bergdorf Goodman basically reamed Whitney out and said she used weird material and her dresses make girls look fat.
Over at Elle Magazine, Erin was a huge bitch.

I look innocent but I'm loca


She went back and re-did Olivia’s work, then when Joe asked Olivia about the new work, she didn’t know shit. Meaning Joe also didn’t know shit. And went on air… Not knowing shit. Which means when he was talking on the Today Show he was basically making shit up, and (as my Grandma would say) flying by the seat of his pants. So Remember that… Anytime you watch a talk show, people talking on it may be bullshitting.
They all went to the principal’s office (Joe Zee’s office) for a little sit down and both Erin and Olivia turned 15. They bitched and swore and Erin was all, “choose me or her cause I don’t wanna work with her and she’s not invited to my birthday party.”

Joe had to remind them this wasn’t high school, and then Erin ran out of the room. Olivia said some bullshit I forget. And I think that was the end.

pure hatred


Pretty sure that was the only stuff that happened. But there’s more nothingness to enjoy because Whitney says the City has another season!! How? Why? I don’t know. Will I watch it? Yes. I admit I am part of the problem.

Drop & Give Me Nine

A few days ago my family was hanging out in the family room. The kids were playing with their toys, I was reading a magazine and my husband was watching television. He was flipping through the channels and stopped on MTV. MTV was showing a music video. No, I’m just kidding! A music video on MTV? When’s the last time that happened? OK, it happened when Michael Jackson died. Let me rephrase the question – when’s the last time MTV aired a music video before Michael Jackson’s death?  A decade or two ago? Now instead of music videos, MTV’s lineup consists of  laughable fine shows like My Super Sweet 16, Date My Mom and Real World/Road Rules Has Beens Challenge.  Apparently my husband had stumbled upon one of MTV’s newest trainwrecks productions, World’s Strictest Parents.  He started watching it while I kept reading my magazine. At least I tried to read my magazine - it was hard not to be distracted by this ridiculous show. World’s Strictest Parents focuses on two poorly behaved, spoiled teenagers who are making their parents’ lives a living hell.  The spoiled teenagers are sent away to live with another set of parents….[gasp!] THE WORLD’S STRICTEST PARENTS! During this episode the world’s strictest parents were laying down the house rules for the unruly teenagers. Swearing was not allowed in their household. If the rebellious teens disobeyed, their punishment would be swift and harsh. Their punishment would be push ups. Yes, push ups. For every curse word uttered, the world’s strictest parents demanded the teens drop and give them 20.

Me: [bursts out laughing] Push ups? What kind of punishment is that?

J: [snickers] Oh yeah, like you can do push ups.

Me: I can do push ups.

J: You don’t have enough arm strength.

I hated to admit it, but he had a point there.  My arms are scrawny not very muscular. But I’m able to carry my 3 1/2-year-old son around with ease. True, he’s barely 30 pounds and has always been in the 3-5% for weight, but I still need upper arm strength to carry him. Also, 9 times out of 10 I’m strong enough to open the jar of jelly (1 time out of 10 I can’t get the damn jar open and my kid is stuck eating a peanut butter and peanut butter sandwich, but that’s OK because he’s only 30 pounds so he can use the extra fat).  Sure, I wouldn’t win any World’s Strongest Woman contest, but I figured I had enough arm strength to do push ups.

Me: I can do push ups. 

J:  [more snickering] OK, let’s see.

I got down on the ground and assumed the push up position (real push ups, not the on-your-knees-girlie push ups).

One push up, two push ups….oh yeah, this is easy.

Three, four….still going strong.

Five.

Six.

Sseevveenn.

Eeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt.

Nnnnnnniiiiiiinnnnnnneeeeeee.

And…..I’m done.

Nine push ups! Woo hoo! I felt great about doing nine push ups and I felt even better about proving my husband wrong. I knew I was strong enough to do push ups. I was proud. I was vindicated. I was….

….sore.

Yes, the following day I was sore. My arms were sore. My chest was sore. They ached as if I had done 100 push ups. But I had only done nine and I was in pain. How pathetic is that? I guess I don’t have as much arm strength as I thought.

Note to self: if I ever meet the world’s strictest parents, be careful not to swear - 20 push ups are harder than they look!

The Truth in Advertising Lies

If you are new to this blog I have a deep, deep passion for Marketing and Advertising. I will forever appreciate this field and any business that really use the basic skills to advance their companies and their products. I appreciate it so much because it is the only thing I know.

Advertising has been a sore point for many people. The impact advertising may have on potential viewers is great. Creators of advertisements understand this fully and they will exploit the opportunity while being legal to persuade the consumer to purchase a product or to buy into a service. Consumers therefore have a responsibility to take these advertisements with a grain of salt. There is a line in advertising that ad creators try not to cross and this is being deceptive. I have an issue with adverts deceiving people, misleading them to the point where they consume the product and it does not perform the way it was intended to.

We live in the 21st century where everything has to look posh, awesome, appealing and appear to be the best. With demands from companies and an emphasis on profits to be made, pressures are placed on creative teams to create an advert that will rival the competitor. Not only to compete but also to make the advertisement so appealing those consumers will demand the product. Creating an advertisement should take time. Determining the image of the product, partnering that with the right talents, choosing the music, the lighting and the camera angles are all some of the factors which the creative team has to take note of. A whole slew of other considerations which make the final product appealing and persuading.

Can you imagine the thoughts that go in to advertise fashion and products for the face and hair? In developed markets like London, Europe and United States of America where the quality of advertising is high, it takes much effort to produce.

An advertisement in question in recent days is one produced by L’Oreal. The ad features Cheryl Cole (judge on X Factor, huge celebrity in the UK) who in the advertisement praises the product Elvive Full Restore 5 hair care line for making her chestnut “full of life, replenished with healthy shine”. The fact is Cheryl Cole’s chestnut was not entirely her real flowing hair. Should we be having an issue with advertisements like this?

C Cole

Beauty has come under scrutiny many times before and this will never be the last. I have an issue with people having an issue with this advertisement.  First and foremost females who wear extensions do not refer to their hair as fake especially when it blends in with their ‘real’ hair especially when their real hair accounts for much of what you actually see. Females can also confess that when commenting on a friend’s hairstyle they don’t say “Your wig looks good!” instead they say “your hair looks good.” This is in the context of wearing extensions coupled with your real hair. Now if your entire head of hair that I am seeing is from a plastic package then we can conclude that your hair is fake and you are indeed wearing a wig.

Personally I do not see anything wrong with the advertisement because an advert of that nature for it to be effective it has to have some form of fantasy (lies oops) to it. In the advertisement clearly not all of the talent’s hair is false and you would have only known that if you know what extensions look like and if you have worn them before or read it online. The celebrity in question has made extensions apart of her routine look so to say she has done this and it is deceiving to people is ridiculous.

I also have an issue with advertising critics who claim that adverts should be appealing to the normal person. Therefore, advertisements of this nature – fashion related will make ladies feel insecure and affect their self esteem. Rubbish! If an advertisement is going to make you feel bad, you felt bad long before you saw the advertisement. I will not buy the argument that advertisements should ever start using normal people to sell the products. If this worked more companies would have been doing it. Dove has started that trend – saw the features of Oprah but I do not like it. It contradicts the image and position of what the product has established. L’Oreal mentions in their ads ‘because you’re worth it.’ The marketing campaign works because they use celebrities who everyone seems to aspire to be. That image of everything looking right cannot be compromised. It is not by chance the make-up is always right. It is not by chance they are always smiling and telling you how wonderful the product makes them feel and look. It is all a strategy to make you walk to the retail store and purchase the product.

Stop complaining oh how she isn’t wearing her real hair. I must confess I know nothing about hair extensions and rightfully so. However, the first time I saw the advertisement I did not think about her extensions, I thought about the obvious she has great hair and any girl who uses the product will experience the same thing because they are worth it. When I buy facial products which I desperately need to look the way I do lol I don’t want to read or see that the product will make me look normal. I am looking for it to say it will give me clear skin and all those good things. So consumers gravitate to products which makes them look, feel better than they previously did – takes them to a higher level.

Stop again, did you see the advertisement. Really? Watch again and look at 0:21 seconds. At the bottom of the screen it says “styled with some natural hair extensions.” That is all the advertisement needed. Of course in that 30 second advertisement all you were looking at is her ‘real-hair’ and the outcome after using such a product. From an advertising, model-talent’s perspective that’s all that matters – you looked at her hair and wished you had it.

Geisy vai fazer lipo, aumentar bumbum, colocar silicone e diminuir a bochecha

Depois de alongar os cabelos, Geisy quer fazer uma recauchutagem geral. Ela decidiu fazer tudo de uma vez.

Vai turbinar os seios com silicone, aumentar o bumbum, fazer lipoescultura e ainda quer dar um jeito de diminuir a bochecha.

Quem arrumou a plástica para ela foi seu mais novo amigo de infância, o cabeleireiro Julinho do Carmo, que foi o responsável pelo alongamento dos cabelos de Geisy.

O médico será o mesmo que fez a “reforma” no corpo de Carla Perez, que ficou ótima.

As cirurgias de Geisy estão marcadas para o dia 14 de dezembro.

Claudia Raia: "Minhas pernas me levam para lugares incríveis"

Deitada no chão, de shortinho e sapato alto, Claudia Raia mostra que está cada dia mais em forma e que suas pernas continuam sendo sua marca registrada. Tanto que o nome de seu novo musical, que estreia em São Paulo no próximo dia 4, chama-se “Pernas pro ar”. De Ribeirão Preto, onde foi apresentar o espetáculo pela primeira vez, a atriz contou ao blog que suas bem torneadas pernas são o resultado de 35 anos dedicados à dança.

-  Tenho 1,10m de pernas. É muita coisa né? Mas elas me levam para lugares incríveis – disse Claudia.

A atriz contou ainda que há três meses ensaia oito horas por dia os números do musical, que, antes de estrear em São Paulo, será apresentado em Recife.

- Aluguei um casa em São Paulo e joguei toda a equipe lá. Ficamos internados para os ensaios – disse ela, que viaja  com um grupo de 50 profissionais.  

As fotos acima foram feitas por Gui Paganini num estúdio em São Paulo para o catálogo de seu novo espetáculo, que chegará ao Rio no início do ano que vem. A direção é de Cacá Carvalho, com argumento de Luiz Fernando Veríssimo e texto de Marcelo Saback.

11.25.09 - A Wednesday

WORD

sang-froid [Fr. sahN-fRwA] n.  coolness of mind; calmness; composure: They committed the robbery with complete sang-froid

BIRTHDAY

Andrew Carnegie (1835), Eddie Shore (1902), Joe DiMaggio (1914), Percy Sledge (1941), Ben Stein (1944), John Larroquette (1947), Amy Grant (1960), John F. Kennedy Jr. (1960), Mark Lanegan (1964), Christina Applegate (1971), Donovan McNabb (1976), Dolla (1987)

STANDPOINT

One of my greatest friends is Joe. I’ve mentioned him before. He’s someone special.

And he’s also kind of this blog’s watchdog. When I miss a day (or three), or post something subpar, Joe’s the first one to let me know, whether through a scathing comment on a particular post, a verbal tirade on GMail chat, or an obscenity-laden phone call. Most of these responses center on his annoyance with the fact I call this the daily euneJeune, and I’m not exactly stringent about the whole “daily” thing.

I love it. Because it comes from Joe and he’s one of the few people out there in the world who knows me very well, and wants to be my friend anyway.

Also, Joe and I have two things in common: (a) We’re able to drink more alcohol than any two people at any bar anywhere, and (b) We’re most likely the funniest people you’ll ever meet. And, no, the alcohol has nothing to do with why we think we’re a goddam riot. Although it doesn’t hurt.

In any case, Joe and I have this routine of exchanging late night texts, mainly because each of us know the other is most likely awake and not sober. 99% of the texts’ subject material has to do with movie quotes. And of that 99%, probably 98% deal directly with the obscure black comedy, Clifford, starring Charles Grodin and Martin Short.

As a tribute to my friend Joe, I offer the following video clip.

 

QUOTATION

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long.  If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night. → Bill Watterson

TUNE

I’ve always loved the lyrics and music of Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” It came on yesterday at the perfect time. And, so, I now share it with you.

GALLIMAUFRY

→ As we all knew it would, Antarctica has declared war on New Zealand. Tired of living in the shadow of its more “tourist-friendly” neighbor, the frozen wasteland has launched hundreds of icebergs in a desperate attempt to get some headlines. Some experts are saying it’s not an attack at all and probably has something to do with global warming. Other experts are saying there’s too much ice in Antarctica and it’s natural to jettison some of the dead weight. The same experts also suggested people get off global warming’s back. However, all the experts agree the iceberg assault will have little effect on New Zealand, prompting a disheartened Antarctica to go back to the drawing board.

→ Finally, MTV makes a show I would actually watch  – about a squad of young Italian summertime renters at the Jersey shore – cleverly titled “Jersey Shore,” and wouldn’t you know it? There’s a group of Italian-Americans that wants to block it. Of course.

→ No new posts until Monday. What with the holiday and all. Also, be careful out there tonight. It’s the biggest bar night of the year. And drunk idiots make it suck pretty hard. Just take the following advice: Make sure to drive fast and take chances. OK. It’s not really advice.

CD Review: The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic

I’ve been a fan of “Weird Al” Yankovic since I was just a little boy. The year was 1984, and back when MTV used to show actual music videos,  one day a video came on that would forever change the way I thought of music and comedy. The song was “Eat It,” Al’s parody of “Beat It” by Michael Jackson. I went out and bought the album (on vinyl at the time… yes, I’m old) and listened to it repeatedly. More albums came quickly. Back then, he would release a new one about once a year. I owned all of them on vinyl, up until the UHF film soundtrack, which I had on cassette, and then everything on CD after that. I eventually upgraded all of the older albums to CD, which is how I own them all today.

Personally, if I like somebody’s music, I am a completist. I still like to own everything they release, if it’s one of my favorite artists. I’ll even buy their CD’s, which is something that I rarely do anymore. That being said, I am not the target demographic for Weird Al’s latest release, The Essential “Weird Al” Yankovic.

But if you are just a casual fan, and you’ve always wanted to own all of his best songs, collected in one place, then this is the collection for you — two CD’s, 38 tracks, 2 1/2 hours spanning a career that’s lasted 26 years (and still going strong). It contains the most popular hits, and fan favorites, parody songs and originals (yes, every Weird Al CD is about 50/50 – parodies and original material). The track list is chronological, from his very first recordings, all the way through today. For the more hardcore collectors, there a couple of alternate takes here (the single edit of “UHF” and extra-gory version of “The Night Santa Went Crazy”), but both have been available before.

Disc 1
“Another One Rides the Bus”
“Polkas on 45″
“Eat It”

“I Lost on Jeopardy”
“Yoda”
“One More Minute”
“Like a Surgeon”
“Dare to Be Stupid”
“Dog Eat Dog”
“Lasagna”
“Melanie”
“Fat”

“UHF” (single version)
“The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota”
“Trigger Happy”
“Smells Like Nirvana”
“You Don’t Love Me Anymore”
“Bedrock Anthem”
“Frank’s 2000″ TV”
“Jurassic Park”

Disc 2
“Since You’ve Been Gone”
“Amish Paradise”

“Gump”
“Everything You Know Is Wrong”
“The Night Santa Went Crazy” (Extra Gory version)
“Your Horoscope for Today”
“It’s All About the Pentiums”
“The Saga Begins”
“Albuquerque”
“eBay”
“Bob”
“Hardware Store”
“I’ll Sue Ya”
“Canadian Idiot”
“Pancreas”
“Don’t Download This Song”
“White & Nerdy”

“Trapped in the Drive-Thru”

Overall, this is an excellent “best of” for new and old fans alike. My only gripe (and it’s small) is that there are too many songs included from the most recent CD’s. My favorite Weird Al albums are still the ones released early on, because I grew up with them, but that’s probably just me. Al’s career has spawned multiple generations. There is definitely something for everyone here on The Essential “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Later in the week, I’ll be posting a companion piece to this article.  You see, when I originally found out about this collection, I finally went through my iTunes library and made my own essential “best of” playlist.  It includes some lesser known songs that I feel should have been included here, and I’ll share those in part two.

“Por Toda a Minha Vida” prova mais uma vez que é possível ter qualidade na televisão

Mais uma vez, a equipe do “Por Toda a Minha Vida” acertou na mão e levou ao telespectador um excelente programa. A edição desta quinta-feira contou a história de Cazuza, o compositor que melhor retratou as mudanças de comportamento e os sentimentos dos anos 80. Na tela apareceu um jovem polêmico, irreverente, provocador e inconseqüente através de ótimos depoimentos de familiares e amigos, imagens de arquivo da Globo (inclusive do “Fantástico” com César Filho), trechos de shows e áudios registrados pelo próprio roqueiro.

O “Por Toda a Minha Vida” é o melhor exemplo de que informação e entretenimento podem caminhar no mesmo sentido e a união de documentário com dramatização resulta num produto final moderno, com ritmo e, principalmente, com qualidade. Nesta quinta-feira me surpreendeu a franqueza no depoimento de Ney Matogrosso, que falou sobre o namoro com Cazuza e o início do relacionamento marcado simplesmente pela atração sexual, um assunto que sempre foi evitado nos meios de comunicação e que não apareceu no filme “Cazuza”. Mas o grande destaque desta edição foi a entrevista com João Araújo, pai de Cazuza, que, em vários momentos, não escondeu a dor e a emoção em falar sobre o filho. Um depoimento equilibrado, mas emocionante. Pedro Bial, Bebel Gilberto, Frejat, Lucinha Araújo e Sandra de Sá também contribuíram no resgate desta história que divide opiniões.

É por essas que muitos defendem longas temporadas para “Por Toda a Minha Vida”.

Por: José Armando Vannucci

Bastidores da TV (20/11)

A necessária volta do verdadeiro “Fantástico”

Muito mais que uma necessidade, a Globo tem obrigação de promover, o quanto antes, mudanças no seu “Fantástico”. E o que mais surpreende é como deixaram chegar a este ponto. A situação do programa é a mesma de um pugilista completamente grogue, pronto a beijar a lona. Desesperadora. O insignificante crescimento da concorrência, hoje existente nas noites de domingo, só fez tornar mais expostas as suas fragilidades. Continuar como está, não tem mais jeito e segurar até abril de 2010, na estreia da nova programação, é arriscado. Pode ser fatal.

Os apresentadores do "Fantástico" Patrícia Poeta e Zeca Camargo

É possível perceber, e até com certa facilidade, que o atual “Fantástico” perdeu completamente o foco. Não existem objetivos definidos. Tiros são disparados para as mais diferentes direções, sem saber exatamente a quem atingir ou a que tipo de público. Se os jovens, que hoje têm o “Pânico” como opção, ou concorrer com Gugu Liberato e Silvio Santo pelo telespectador mais tradicional.

O grande problema é que o verdadeiro “Fantástico” faz muita falta. Ainda não há em toda a nossa tevê algo que se aproxime a ele. Retornar às suas origens, fazendo voltar com as grandes reportagens, matérias de entretenimento e saúde ainda é o que se apresenta a todos como suficiente e necessário.

Continuar como está, com uma desinteressante série de condomínio ou viver na dependência de tragédia, além de outras reportagens na mesma ordem, não dá mais.

Rapidinhas

Danilo fica

O humorista Danilo Gentili

Por muito pouco, a Record não acertou a contratação de Danilo Gentili, um dos titulares do “CQC”.

Estava tudo conversado e o dinheiro muito bom para que ele viesse, a partir do ano que vem, integrar a equipe do novo programa do Marcos Mion.

A Bandeirantes, no entanto, soube ser mais convincente. Procurou o artista, fez a sua contraoferta e ele renovou por mais dois anos. Outros importantes fatores, além do aspecto financeiro, foram considerados.

Olha só

Mais uma da série “notícias que podem mudar o rumo da humanidade”: Danielle Winits e o filho Noah tomam sorvete para se refrescar.

Nota corajosamente postada num site.

O destaque

Sabrina Sato

Sabrina Sato, as vésperas de ser anunciada como “Personalidade do Ano em Comunicação”, evento da revista “Isto é Gente”, pelo menos por enquanto não pensa em voo solo na televisão.

De contrato renovado por mais 3 anos com a Rede TV! e uma agenda paralela de trabalhos bastante movimentada, ela deve continuar, no vídeo, exclusiva do “Pânico”.

Contra o tempo

A Globo está acelerada na preparação do próximo “Big Brother Brasil”. As obras no local, especialmente a construção da segunda casa, segundo se informa, serão concluídas até o final do mês.

Em dezembro, a cenografia deve se preocupar com a decoração.

Arquivo morto

Mais uma vez, ficou no ameaço ou simples desejo de alguns diretores da Record em produzir alguma coisa parecida com o “Vídeo Show” da Globo.

O contra veio de cima: ninguém deve perder tempo com isso agora.

A possibilidade de acontecer alguma coisa parecida, nesta altura dos acontecimentos, é nenhuma.

Deixa comigo

A Rede TV! vai estrear, logo no começo do ano, o reality “No Tanque dos Tubarões”.

O programa contará com a participação efetiva de cinco empresários – quatro homens e uma mulher – dispostos a investir em pessoas com boas ideias.

O vice-presidente da emissora, Marcelo Carvalho, chamou para ele esta responsabilidade. Pretende convidar a todos pessoalmente e anunciar os nomes em fevereiro.

Fica como está

Silvio Santos acabou convencido pelos seus diretores mais próximos e desistiu de fazer qualquer mudança na programação do SBT nos próximos meses.

Toda e qualquer novidade só em fevereiro ou março. O domingo, já se sabe, será um dos principais alvos.

Se cansar, corta

Luciana Gimenez revela que não tem um momento definido para parar com a televisão. “Não planejo nada na minha vida”, diz.

Atualmente no ar, de segunda a quinta, ela se diz satisfeita com o formato do “Superpop” e elogia o quadro “A patroa é um avião”, já garantido para o ano que vem.

Quanto ao corre-corre das gravações e os compromissos fora da TV, não poderia ser mais direta: “se cansar, vou cortando”.

Informação

De acordo com a Sky, segunda maior Operadora de TV por Assinatura do país com 1 milhão e 800 mil assinantes, a partir do próximo dia 7, a empresa já dará início a uma programação de aquecimento para a estreia do “Big Brother Brasil”, prevista para 12 de janeiro.

No canal 610, serão exibidos os melhores momentos das edições passadas, reportagens e matérias, e os vídeos dos participantes não selecionados para o “BBB10″.

Além disso, no canal 611 o assinante terá as principais notícias do reality show por meio de um aplicativo interativo exclusivo da Sky.

Ao todo, serão 3 canais disponíveis aos seus assinantes.

Ele merece

No dia 13 de dezembro, em São Paulo, uma grande festa vai comemorar os 50 anos de carreira do autor Walter Negrão.

Todos os seus grandes amigos do longo período estão sendo procurados e convidados.

C’est fini

O heliponto da Rede TV! foi pintado na quinta-feira passada, véspera da festa dos 10 anos, de modo especial para ser utilizado pelo presidente Lula. O forte calor fez com que parte da tinta estourasse e atingisse 42 carros no estacionamento da emissora.

Silvia Pfeiffer ganha mais espaço em “Bela a Feia”, agora que sua personagem Vera, revela que é mãe de Rodrigo (Bruno Ferrari), um dos protagonistas.

Por causa do filme “Dois Coelhos”, Alessandra Negrini passa uma temporada em São Paulo.

Ficamos assim. Amanhã tem mais. Tchau!

MTV compra direito exclusivo do filme This Is It

A MTV americana comprou os direitos do filme documentário This Is It, que traz os últimos ensaios de Michael Jackson para os shows que o cantor faria em Londres.

Segundo o site Pop Crunch, a MTV só deve exibir o documentário em 2011, mas a emissora não sabe ainda se o filme será transmitido para todas as MTVs do mundo. Pelo contrato assinado a emissora musical poderá exibir o filme por seis anos.

A Sony detentora dos direitos do filme, também anunciou que vai trabalhar junto com a MTV, para lançar no mercado o DVD do filme no começo do próximo ano.

This Is It It ficaria em cartaz por apenas duas semanas, mas teve sua exibição alongada em todo o mundo. O filme arrecadou 67 milhões de dólares nos EUA e já ultrapassou a marca de 145 mil dólares no restante do mundo.

Is Lady Gaga actually Marilyn Manson?

An ill-researched comparison.

I have been introduced to the Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” video and my first instinct was, as it is with most things Gaga related – this is TERRIFYING.

And then I felt something deeper, something… familiar in weirdo dinosaur dance moves and big huge eyeballs (even more familiar than those weird shoe ads in Cosmo that have been big eye terrifying for years).

I realized it was the same feeling I used to get watching Marilyn Manson videos – the intrigue, the “I can’t tear my eyes away because if I do, Marilyn Manson may or may not jump through my TV and tear my eyes away for me.” The WTF moment before I knew what WTF moments were.

Observe (if you dare):

Now, not the greatest comparison, but I am too scared to look for anything else Marilyn Manson related right now – it’s dark out. But, my preliminary instincts are that Lady Gaga IS Marilyn Manson.

1. Has anyone seen Marilyn Manson recently? More importantly, has anyone ever seen Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson in the same place? Any TV sitcom enthusiast worth their weight in laugh tracks will tell you that two people who are actually the same person can’t be in the same room at the same time! It’s SCIENCE.

2. It is not easy to duplicate that glow in the dark tan – believe me, us nearbinos stick together, and it takes some real work to not go outside ever and still have the kind of exposure experienced by Manson in the 90s and Gaga in the now’s.

3. These videos are vaguely similar. Maybe not perfect duplicates, but don’t you think your musical stylings/visual instincts would change a little bit over the course of 10 – 15 years? The catchy drum beat, the kabillion costume changes, the running motif of metal in or around the mouth. It’s all there.

4. Look at that bone structure! Marilyn Manson used to heart dressing up in lady parts, and Lady Gaga is developing a strong interest in both flames and catsuits. Coincidence? Doubt it.

Q.E.D.

Lady Gaga = Marilyn Manson

New Super Mario Bros Wii. - evento legal!

Seguindo a linha dos eventos que foram realizados ao redor do planeta para comemorar a chegada de New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a Latamel, empresa que representa a Nintendo no Brasil não perdeu tempo e marcou um encontro com os fãs para mostrar o novo game. E sim, a Nintendo World estava lá e quer saber? Foi divertido pacas.

Eu dei umas três entrevistas lá no evento. Falei do game e da nova fase da revista comigo como editor. Numa dessas entrevistas meu papo foi com a Flávia Gasi, gamer e apresentadora da MTV.  Foi muito bacana! A Flavinha eu já conheço de tempos e o bate-papo foi bem descontraído. Eu nem faço idéia de quando vai pro ar, mas espero que em breve lá no Scrap MTV! Eu só sei que não perdi a chance de tirar uma foto com ela.

O evento foi divertidíssimo e com muita gente legal. Os entusiastas do mundo nintendo são, literalmente entusiasmados!

Tirei muitas fotos, vendemos revistas, conversei com muitas fãs e dei muitas risadas. Os brindes também foram legais! Um caderno, uma camiseta, chaveiros e um boné vermelho com o clássico “M”!

Amanhã vocês conferem a galeria de fotos e um vídeo especial no site da Nintendo World.

De quebra eu trouxe o game pra casa. Nem precisa dizer que amanhã chego tarde a redação. Chefes não me demitam! É por uma boa causa! Afinal, tenho que ralar e ralar para fazer uma revista cada vez melhor!

‘Goleada do Mallhandro’ vai a pico de 4 pontos, confíra a média

A Exibição da estréia do novo programa da Rede CNT, obteve bons índices de audiência para a emissora. De acordo com dados obtidos, neste último sábado, a atração obteve média de 2.0 pontos com 4 de pico.

‘Goleada do Mallandro’, apresentada por Sérgio Mallandro, vai ao ar todos os sábados, ao vivo, das 22h às 24h pela CNT. O programa tem distribuição de prêmios e pegadinhas.

MTV Apresenta Autoramas Desplugado

Vai ao ar hoje na MTV o show “Autoramas Desplugado“, com a famosa banda de rock independente Autoramas. O show foi gravado em um casarão no Jardim Botânico, no Rio de Janeiro em julho.

A ideia do programa é fazer um acústico diferente, com vilões e instrumentos acústicos, mas tocados de pé e com a intenção de fazer o público dançar e não aquele jeito antigo de todos sentados assistindo a banda tocar.

Entre os convidados estão o guitarrista Big Gilson na música “A 300 km/h”, já na faixa”Hotel Cervantes”, a Mulher Misteriosa Jane DeLuc nas castanholas e de Humberto Barros, para terminar Érika Martins na balada “Música de Amor”.

A banda ainda fez dois bons covers de “I Say You Saying (That You Say That You Saw)” dos Raimundos e “Galera do Fundão” do Little Quail.

Os Autoramas estiveram ontem no programa MTV Acesso e tocaram algumas das faixas do acústico, mesmo não sendo fã da banda, gostei bastante. O grupo conseguiu dar uma nova cara paras as músicas mais antigas, sem perder a famosa sonoridade da banda. Destaque para Flávia Couri, melhor baixista que já passou pela banda.

MTV Apresenta Autoramas Desplugado

Hoje às 22h30

Reprise no domingo (15/11) às 19h15

Beyonce wears Cheryl Cole's 'rubbish bin lid' dress at MTV Awards

Cheryl Cole hit the headlines last weekend after opting for a rather outrageous dress on X Factor.

Her £1,500 David Koma design wasn’t very popular, being compared to vinyl records, piano keys or rubbish bin lids.

But it seems Beyonce hadn’t heard the news. At the MTV Europe Music Awards she was spotted in an almost identical outfit by the same designer with metal piping snaking across the bodice.

It wasn’t met with so much critcism though. In fact it was nothing but praise for Beyonce as she scooped a hat-trick of prizes, dedicating one of them to husband Jay-Z.

After being named best female, Beyonce told the audience: ‘I have to dedicate this award to all the other beautiful artists. Thank you MTV for this wonderful honour.’

Gallery: What Katy Perry wore at the MTV Awards

She also wore a raunchy red corset and mermaid inspired fishtail dress. We think you look incredible Beyonce.

Susana Vieira negocia fotos sensuais para o Paparazzo

A atriz da Globo foi convidada para fazer ensaio para o site. Susana Vieira está negociando valores com o Paparazzo.

O cachê não chega aos pés do que a Playboy paga, é claro, mas ela está acertando seu preço com o site.

Comenta-se que produtores e maquiadores estão fugindo de fazer parte da equipe que cuidará dos preparativos para o tal ensaio, pois Susana é considerada uma pessoa difícil e exigente.

Em outro ensaio, ela apareceu com o corpinho de uma menina de 20. As fotos, feitas por Fernando Torquato para a revista Quem, deram o que falar. Ele é conhecido por ser o rei do photoshop.

BASTIDORES DA TV (28/10)

Conspiração secreta e política estarão presentes em nova novela da Record, conta o autor Marcílio Moraes

O autor Marcílio Moraes, que está escrevendo a nova novela da Record, "Ribeirão do Tempo"

Em contato com a coluna, Marcilio Moraes, autor da próxima novela da Record, “Ribeirão do Tempo”, que estreia em fevereiro, antecipa alguns detalhes da história.

Ele informa que a trama, substituta de “Poder Paralelo”, se passa nos dias atuais, mas sem precisar datas – sequer o ano, e que será, entre outras coisas, uma ficção política. Isso mesmo. Vai ter a política como pano de fundo, mas não em referência direta ao que ocorre no país.

“Ribeirão do Tempo” é uma cidade de fantasia. Quando muito, poderá ser entendida como uma metáfora. De acordo com a sinopse, uma conspiração secreta vai movimentar a novela e levantar suspeitas sobre todos os personagens. Durante o decorrer, eles irão se revelar, mostrar uma outra face, passando para o telespectador a ideia de que têm duas caras. Mas haverá também outros núcleos, um deles voltado para esportes radicais.

Para os principais papéis de “Ribeirão do Tempo” foram escalados Caio Junqueira, Ângelo Paes Leme, Bianca Rinaldi, Juliana Baroni, Patrícia Travassos, Bruna di Tulio, Cássio Scapin, Taumaturgo Ferreira, Solange Couto, Mônica Torres, Liliana Castro, José Dumont, Heitor Martinez, Umberto Magnani, André di Biasi e Eduardo Lago, entre outros.

A direção geral é de Edgard Miranda.

Rapidinhas

Proposta casada

O nadador Fernando Scherer

O nadador Fernando Scherer, o Xuxa, está na lista da próxima “A Fazenda”, que estreia em novembro na Record.

Se por um lado o pessoal do meio artístico condiciona a participação no reality show à escalação em novelas e seriados da emissora, por outro, Scherer também teria feitos as suas exigências. Mas no campo esportivo, claro.

Ele poderá trabalhar como comentarista da próxima Olimpíada – e numa área, a natação, que tem simplesmente César Cielo como estrela mundial.

Bem por aí

A Record, informa-se, tomou o cuidado de não convidar para a próxima “A Fazenda” celebridades com histórico ligado à bebida alcoólica.

Querem, isto sim, passar uma imagem de geração saúde no programa.

Calmaria

Del Rangel, diretor de novelas do SBT, recebeu apoio do próprio Silvio Santos e segue à frente do departamento.

Nem mesmo a baixa audiência de “Vende-se um véu de noiva”, que já era esperada, provocou qualquer abalo no circuito.

Mas é evidente que a emissora espera um pouco mais de “Uma Rosa com Amor”.

E o SBT está apostando na formação de um bom elenco.

Plano

O apresentador Milton Neves

Milton Neves, atualmente com o “Terceiro Tempo” nos domingos da Bandeirantes, já não esconde o seu desejo de voltar a comandar um programa diário – e, se possível, na Record.

Hoje, na Band, essa possibilidade não existe, devido principalmente ao bom momento de Renata Fan no “Jogo Aberto”.

Criação

Novos quadros estão em produção para o programa “Casseta & Planeta, Urgente!”, na Globo.

São os casos de “Uéslei Potter” e “Delegacia de Vítimas da Moda”.

E todos com possibilidades de estrear ainda este ano.

Mobilização

A jornalista Ana Paula Padrão

Ana Paula Padrão, que ontem chegou do Butão, apresenta hoje um bloco do “Jornal da Record”, direto do complexo Recnov, no Rio de Janeiro.

Amanhã, será a vez de Carla Cecato, que comandará do mesmo local um bloco do “Fala Brasil”.

Lembrando que nesta quarta-feira, haverá a solenidade de inauguração de dois novos estúdios de teledramaturgia da emissora, com a presença do presidente Lula.

Convite

A propósito de inauguração e do presidente, a Rede TV!, via Amilcare Dallevo e Marcelo Carvalho, começa a distribuir os convites para a solenidade de comemoração dos 10 anos da emissora e o início oficial de atividades no seu novo complexo de Osasco.

Dia 13 de novembro, a partir das 19 horas.

Simples consequência

A participação do narrador esportivo Silvio Luiz no “Teleton”, mesmo anunciada com antecedência para a tarde de sábado, na última hora não aconteceu.

Ele não foi autorizado pela RedeTV!.

Hebe na madrugada

A apresentadora Hebe Camargo

Se for verdade que o público de Hebe Camargo costuma ir pra cama mais cedo, então está justificado o baixo Ibope do último programa.

Já era quase uma hora da manhã de terça-feira, e o “Hebe” ainda estava lá, pelo SBT, apresentando Maria Gadu cantando “Ne me quitte pas”. Deu 3 de média.

Foi 4º lugar no horário, atrás de Globo (15), Record (9) e Band (5).

Ibope

Se a Globo, por causa do “Fantástico” teve um domingo para nunca mais esquecer, a segunda-feira já foi bem mais interessante: desde a novela “Cama de Gato” até “Viver a Vida” a sua participação na audiência esteve acima de 50%.

Em alguns casos bem acima. No horário do “Tela Quente” caiu um pouco: 47%.

Lado da Record

A respeito de uma nota de ontem, falando do péssimo momento escolhido pela Record para fazer voltar o “Bofe de Elite”, a emissora enviou o seu esclarecimento em nota assinada pela jornalista Milena Cristina Murno, da Assessoria de Imprensa:

“Gostaria de esclarecer que as gravações do especial de fim de ano do Bofe de Elite já estavam programadas para serem feitas no Rio de Janeiro há mais de um mês e que o tema do programa não está relacionado com os últimos acontecimentos na cidade.

A história central do Especial é ‘Olimpíadas 2016′. Nela, os bofes serão os responsáveis pela segurança dos atletas olímpicos no RJ. E como estamos falando de um programa de humor, o texto terá um tom descontraído, com a única intenção de divertir e levar entretenimento aos telespectadores.

Esclareço também que em nenhum momento será feita qualquer referência à guerra do tráfico”.

Então tá. A coluna, porém, mantém a mesma posição e opinião. Não poderiam ter escolhido uma hora pior.

C´est fini

A Globo Marcas está lançando em parceria com a Som Livre o DVD “Força Tarefa”. A série traz o dia a dia dos policias que têm a difícil missão de investigar crimes dentro da própria Polícia. Direção do José Alvarenga Jr., texto de Fernando Bonassi e Marçal Aquino, com as participações de Murilo Benício e Milton Gonçalves, entre outros.

Merece melhor atenção: está muito bem feito o “SBT Brasil”, apresentado por Karyn Bravo e Carlos Nascimento, na faixa das 19h30. Entrou antes com várias notícias que depois foram repicadas por outros telejornais.

A propósito: o “SBT Manhã”, edição das 6 da manhã, conseguiu na segunda-feira um excelente resultado. Venceu a Globo por 5 a 4. Primeiro lugar. E no horário das 5 da manhã, a vitória foi por 4 x 1. Duas horas de jornalismo em primeiro lugar no Ibope. Muito bom.

Ficamos assim. Mas amanhã tem mais. Tchau!

¿Chavéz feat. Calle Trece?: es un hecho o un delirio

Según declaraciones del propio presidente de la República, Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, los boricuas de Calle Trece darán un concierto este próximo sábado 31 de octubre en Caracas. Será “un concierto gratuito, en honor al pueblo bolivariano”, dijo en la última transmisión de su programa dominical, Aló Presidente.

Sin embargo, dichas declaraciones chocan con las palabras del propio René Pérez “Residente” (cantante de la agrupación), quien dijo que el anuncio de Chávez era falso, ya que no tienen previsto realizar un concierto gratuito en su país.

Ahora, dejando un poco la narrativa periodística y volviendo a mi habitual narrativa blogera, me parece bastante curioso lo que está pasando.

En la pasada edición de los Premios MTV Latinos, “Residente” vistió una franela que literalmente decía: “Chávez nominado mejor artista POP”… interpretaciones hay diversas. En lo personal creo simplemente era parte del repertorio estruendoso que tuvo, en donde también se aprovecho de ser el co-presentador del evento, para “meterse con la madre del gobernador de Puerto Rico”, razón por la cual fue suspendido uno de sus shows en aquel país.

Tejiendo hipótesis

Hace poquito, el Estado emitió 3000 millones de dólares americanos en bonos, estamos en una pre-campaña electoral (hasta los momentos, los comicios de La Asamblea serán el próximo año) y la aprobación popular hacia el presidente Chávez -según Datanálisis- ha bajado significativamente. Creo que en este momento, el gobierno pagaría lo que sea por hacer cumplir su palabra. Ya veremos que es lo que pasa el sábado. De momento, les dejo el vídeo en donde el señor Chávez habla al respecto, como les dije, en pleno Aló Presidente.

Tiago Santiago nega contratação de Lucinha Lins para sua novela no SBT

Recentemente a imprensa vem divulgando vários nomes para o elenco de “Uma Rosa com Amor”, próxima novela do SBT que marcará a estreia de Tiago Santiago na emissora. A mais recente inclui o nome de Lucinha Lins e seu filho, Cláudio Lins.

Procurado pelo site O Planeta TV!, autor esclarece: “É apenas mais um boato, entre vários outros, como a contratação de Anderson Muller, Vera Gimenez ou sondagem de Marcelo Faria”, explica Tiago.

No inicio do ano, Lucinha Lins renovou seu contrato com a Record até 2012. Já o seu filho encontra-se afastado da TV desde 2006, quando fez uma participação no seriado Avassaladoras (Record).

“Uma Rosa com Amor” estreia em fevereiro e, por enquanto, apenas os seguintes nomes estão confirmados pela emissora: Betty Faria, Carla Marins, Jussara Freire, Edney Giovenazzi e Mônica Carvalho.

A Teoria do King Size!

Você deve se lembrar do King Size e de sua possível Esposa.

Por estranho que pareça, eles, com seus discursos estranhos, teorias incomuns e vocabulário único não estão sozinhos. Vejam estes vídeos – as semelhanças são bem claras.

Todos tem a mesma cadência, além das já mencionadas estranhezas, mais o fato de viajarem em conversas NADA a ver com o assunto original.

Seria um deles o original e os outros homenagens? Seria isso um mega-viral? Seriam eles parentes, amigos ou conhecidos?

O que deixa mais encucado é o final da moça da MTV. Vocês repararam quem ela diz que ama? “Alexandre”. Alexandre, até onde sabemos, pode ser nosso amigo Alexandre dos Santos Lima, o King Size do Rio de Janeiro!

Qual será a verdade? Seja lá qual for, estou adorando fazer uma teoria de conspiração.

"Fantástico" também investirá no humor com "Casseta & Planeta"

Com o sucesso do “Pânico na TV”, os programas dominicais resolveram investir em humor. O primeiro a investir no gênero foi o “Programa do Gugu”, agora, o pessoal do Casseta & Planeta ganha espaço no Fantástico. A partir do próximo domingo, Patrícia Polenta (Hubert) e Cueca Camargo (Beto Silva), personagens do programa, chegam ao Fantástico. A dupla vai comandar a estreia do quadro Cassetástico com uma matéria sobre a alimentação dos jovens. “O quadro será uma espécie de comentário cômico das pautas do Fantástico”, define o diretor José Lavigne. “A ideia é contar com a participação do público em enquetes”, completa.

Na semana de estreia, Helio de La Peña e Cláudio Manoel vão às ruas para perguntar aos jovens por que eles se alimentam tão mal. Tudo, claro, bem no estilo ‘Casseta & Planeta’. “Oferecemos um cachorro-quente de cenoura e uma coxinha de alface, mas pouca gente encarou”, brinca Hélio.

A primeira gravação foi realizada no Mercadão de Madureira, no Rio de Janeiro. “A cada semana, contaremos com a participação de dois ou três cassetas, mas não teremos caracterizações especiais. Apenas o Cueca e a Polenta”, explica Lavigne.

As informações são do Planeta TV.

You Watch That Stuff?

Yesterday I tweeted; “Bloggin abt the death of the gospel and wtching music vids on VH1 and MTV,yes I do watch those channels sometimes. No I don’t thnk its a sin.”


I thought I would get a lot more reaction out of that statement, my tweets tend to do that at times, but to my surprise there were only a few comments about that tweet.

I am going to expand on the topic of watching things your mother doesn’t watch in a moment but first I want to say that I am not going to “defend” this topic. But merely explain my thoughts and convictions. I find that explanation and discussion are more productive than defending which leads to arguing.

With all that said lets talk a little bit about the subject of watching, listening to, and reading things that are not made my Christians.

I believe in understanding the world. I want to know how the world operates, thinks, and acts. I want to know what the world enjoys, watches, and listens to.

More than the above statement I want to know Christ! I want to know God and all that makes Him, Him. I believe in God with my whole heart. More than that I want my love for the things of God to show in my everyday world.

Part of loving God is loving people who He created. Loving those people who God created means loving them even when they don’t think, act or believe like you.

Which brings us to why I watch things that you might not or things that my mother does not. I pay attention to things the world is doing to understand what they are thinking, feeling, and hoping for. I DO NOT let what they are doing change the way I believe or act. I want to be in this world (something I cannot escape without death) but I do not want to be of it.

I do have convictions of what I will read, listen to and watch, but those are mine not yours. I want to see the world with the view of Christ. Christ spent more time I assure you hanging with people who didn’t think like Him (at least right away) than He did boycotting Disney because they support gay rights.

I think you get my point, in the world because you are already here. Just not of it.

I am sure you have thoughts, I would love to hear them!

BASTIDORES DA TV (21/10)

SBT ensaia perigosa volta ao seu passado de baixarias com “Pegadinhas Picantes”

O apresentador Silvio Santos entrevista o jogador Ronaldo no programa exibido domingo (18/10)

A televisão não pode ser usada desta maneira. O SBT tem no ar o programa “Pegadinhas Picantes”, que é com toda certeza um dos mais indecentes de todos os tempos. E que a cada dia fica pior. Na segunda-feira, por exemplo, mostraram uma mulher subindo a escada, com a câmera pegando por baixo e mostrando tudo o que não tem direito, mesmo no horário das 10 da noite. O chamado “plano ginecológico”. Apelação do mais baixo nível.

Mesmo que seja para alavancar o Ibope, ainda assim fica esquisito entender. Não há coerência com a sequência da programação. Logo depois dessa “Pegadinha Picante” vai ao ar uma novela, “Vende-se um Véu de Noiva”, que até impressiona pela singeleza do seu título.

No instante em que há, de forma geral, uma busca por melhor qualidade, em matéria de baixaria, ao que parece, o SBT ensaia uma perigosa volta ao passado, que lembra os casos dos falecidos “Coquetel” e “Sem Controle”, além de outros de triste memória.

Aliás, no programa do próprio dono, domingo passado, foram apresentadas coisas do tipo “você gosta de nabo?” ou “quer pegar um nabo?”, por exemplo. Duplo sentido de profundo mau gosto! Será que é por aí?

E isso em meio às comemorações do Dia Nacional contra a baixaria na TV. O SBT, certamente, não tem nada a comemorar.

Rapidinhas

Intervalo

O novo comercial da Antarctica, no “Bar da boa”, conta com as participações do Serjão Loroza, Silvio Luiz, Sérgio Mallandro e Serginho Chulapa. Todos começando com “s” e já em cartaz em algumas praças.

Hoje, 6 da tarde, no Rio, será gravado um segundo, com a participação da mesma turma.

Sem restrições

A Globo conseguiu classificação livre para “Bom Dia Frankenstein”, produção que substituirá “Caras & Bocas”, às 7 da noite, a partir de janeiro.

Novela de Bosco Brasil, já em gravações na capital paulista, “Frankenstein” traz no elenco Antonio Fagundes, Grazi Massafera, Fernanda Vasconcelos, Thiago Rodrigues e Guilherme Weber, entre outros.

O seu tema é a liberdade vigiada.

Dois pontos

O apresentador Amaury Junior

1º – Depois de várias rodadas com os donos Amilcare Dallevo e Marcelo Carvalho, Amaury Junior teve uma demorada reunião com Monica Pimentel do departamento artístico na segunda-feira, e praticamente definiu a renovação do seu contrato na Rede TV!, que vence em novembro. Aliás, a proposta inclui a mudança de toda a sua base, atualmente instalada na Praça das Guianas, nos Jardins, em São Paulo, para os novos estúdios da emissora em Osasco.

2º – A estreia do Amaury Junior no canal “E!”, da Sony, está confirmada para 9 de novembro, uma segunda-feira. O seu programa irá ao ar uma vez por semana, com 30 minutos de duração, e reprisado todos os dias no prime time.

Mal-estar

O contrato está bem amarrado. Não se observa efetivamente nenhum risco de quebra, mas há um estranhamento na Record quanto ao mau aproveitamento de Oscar, ex-basquete, na programação esportiva da emissora.

Aliás, durante a escolha do Rio como cidade sede de 2016, já existiram problemas e queixas, com direito a olho no olho na redação e queixas junto à alta direção.

Só uma dúvida

Está todo mundo tentando entender a nova novela de Manoel Carlos. O elenco é bom e a história parece que agora vai.

Só bateu uma dúvida quanto ao título: “Viver a Vida” está mesmo correto? Pelo que está no ar, não seria “Beber a Vida”?

Nunca se bebeu tanto numa novela só.

Convidados

A apresentadora Xuxa

A produção do “Mais Você” já definiu algumas atrações musicais para o especial de 10 anos do programa, que Ana Maria Braga vai comandar dia 5, direto do Credicard Hall, em São Paulo.

Presenças já confirmadas do Capital Inicial, Zezé di Camargo e Luciano, e Xuxa. Tudo ao vivo.

Minissérie bíblica

A direção da Record já definiu o elenco da minissérie “A História de Ester”, prevista, agora, para estrear no dia 14 de dezembro.

Os principais papéis serão vividos por Gabriela Durlo (protagonista), Ewerton de Castro, Paulo Gorgulho, Vanessa Gerbelli, Paulo Figueiredo, Giuseppe Oristânio, Felipe Martins, Marcio Kieling, Marcos Pitombo, Paulo Nigro, Lea Garcia e Lana Rodes.

Gravando.

Está fora

Jorge Pontual estava nos planos do SBT para formar com Carla Marins a dupla principal de “Uma Rosa com Amor”, novela que substituirá “Vende-se um Véu de Noiva”.

Descobriu-se, no entanto, que o ator renovou contrato com a Record até 2014.

Visitante ilustre

José Bonifácio de Oliveira Sobrinho, o Boni, conheceu ontem as novas instalações da Rede TV!, em Osasco. Aliás, cidade onde nasceu.

Foi recebido pelo presidente da emissora, Amilcare Dallevo, e prometeu estar presente na festa de inauguração em novembro.

C’est fini

O “CQC” vai ganhar férias na Bandeirantes possivelmente entre os meses de janeiro e fevereiro. Um novo programa, chamado internamente de “Improviso”, vai ocupar o seu lugar. Está em vias de ter o seu orçamento liberado.

Milton Neves e Adriane Galisteu são outros da Band que, devido a compromissos já agendados, não poderão participar do programa do “Teleton”, no SBT.

A audiência alcançada pelo “Esporte Fantástico”, da Record, no último sábado – média de 8 pontos e pico de 10 – trouxe um novo ânimo à equipe do programa. Foi o melhor desempenho desde a estreia, no dia 5 de julho, quando ainda era apresentado nas manhãs de domingo. Promessa de reação.

Então ficamos assim. Mas amanhã tem mais. Tchau!
