Seinfeld cast to reunite! (on HBO)

It's about freakin' time the Seinfeld cast reunited!

They'll make an appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm - Larry David's show.

Here's a bit of the article:

PASADENA, Calif. — Larry David says the on-screen reunion of the "Seinfeld" cast will be "tough to beat." The "Seinfeld" co-creator and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator-star says the cast will appear together in the finale of the upcoming seventh season of the HBO comedy series.

It marks the first time in 11 years that Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards have appeared together on screen.

David says the "Seinfeld" stars will appear in five "Curb" episodes during the season in a storyline about the cast reuniting. He says he worked closely with Seinfeld on the show-within-a-show script.

He also says an actual "Seinfeld" reunion is unlikely.

The comments were made at a meeting of the Television Critics Association.

MULVA?

BluBlockers are back!

Do you remember those cool sunglasses called BluBlockers?


I actually memorized the commercial because it was so catchy back in the day.


Now they have returned. Fashion is SO cyclical. Don't worry - hanging on to those tight-rolled Guess jeans will pay off soon!

MTV - Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew - Again!

I am pumped to see America's Best Dance Crew return to the airwaves. I don't know about you, but this summer was a major drought of TV quality.

Here's the press release:
"MTV's reality dance competition series, Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew moves to a new night and time as it opens season four on August 9 at 9p. Dance teams from around the country will show off their best moves vying for the $100,000 cash prize. Warner Horizon Television produces the series. Prior to the new season start, Randy Jackson hosts an hour-long clip show featuring the top performances from previous seasons in Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew Top 10 Performances of All Time on August 2 at 9p. "

Who would win? JabbaWockez vs. Quest Crew vs. Super Crew?

My money is on Super Crew - those guys are crazy. Jabba are more entertaining overall though.

What do you think?

Michael Jackson's actual kid seen at Memorial Service(?)

I was watching the “news” last night on Fox and they were covering the mystery man (Omer Bhatti) seen in the front row sitting next to Joe Jackson at the Michael Jackson memorial service.
Who the heck is that? Some guy in dark sunglasses who obviously is a part of the family, and is now rumored to be Michael Jackson’s actual biological son.

It is kind of creepy to see video footage of him because it’s like when you watch a movie and you didn’t notice things the first time around, but the plot is all about the second time they show you a scene and point out the obvious. Think Sixth Sense meets Michael Jackson’s Offspring.

I guess we’ll ultimately find out who this is, what really happened to MJ, and why the doctor on the scene decided to flee on foot, leaving behind his car at the house. Ok we already can figure that part out on our own.

The T.O. Show Update: Get Focused!


I’ve found a new show that is interesting and entertaining to watch on VH1, “The T.O. Show.”

It follows Terrell Owens around this past offseason as he was cut from the Dallas Cowboys and then was signed to a 1 year contract with the Buffalo Bills (brrr!) in the next 48 hours.

The season premier was an hour long and starts off with T.O. watching ESPN deliver the news that he had been cut. If any of you have ever been fired / let-go / downsized from a company, then you know exactly how he felt. It just is much worse since the whole world knew about his loss of employment.

They introduce his bodyguard and buddy, Pablo. I think Terrell could kick the crap out of him though. T.O. is ripped.

The show then also introduces his publicity team, comprised of Mo and Kita. This is what I don’t understand: what do they do for him? They are in reality just a support network of old buddies who probably gets paid by Terrell because he can drop $137,000 on diamond earrings without hesitation (as he does on Rodeo Dr later in the show).

Mo and Kita convince Terrell to go to L.A. to “get focused.” I have no idea what this means. I would think a good publicity team would have arranged some meetings with potential sponsors, media outlets, and setup some interviews to help build T.O.’s public image. Instead, this duo has decided to rent him a house in the hills who is shown by a little Asian agent who T.O. hooks up with later in the week.

They are like two nagging flies in your ear who keep telling you to “get focused.” T.O. often responds, “I am focused! Focus on what?”

I hope they have more credibility than is seen here, but we shall see.

What did you think about the show?

Don't Worry, be happy

Well, it was a weekend filled with birthday parties and no surprising celebrity death announcements, except for Tom Watson choking it at The British Open on Sunday.

I didn’t even know there was a playoff since I figured he had sealed the deal. Oh well.

A Vegas bachelor party has hit my radar. At what point are you too old to do that whole thing? Please do not use The Hangover as a reference for your answer.

Suhweeet Sighting: Hayden Panettiere

I saw Hayden Panettiere coming out of the Alexa Chung Show. Super super tiny person.

Can't say that I liked Heroes much last season. What happened there? Is it the NBC effect?
