American Idle (not a spelling error!)

I can't hold it in any longer. Steven Tyler is a mess on American Idol. J Lo-well, she's fine, but that's all...fine. And Randy, I've never been a big fan, but this year, his teeth got whiter, and I'm over the "dawg" bit....though, I never really was down with it. Do I watch American Idol? Not really. I made it through one season till the end-the one where Fantasia and her big flat tongue won., and then one season till the last three, and then I bailed, but I do like the beginning rounds...where people get to "go to Hollywood" (dawg)....but this year? YAWN! I mean Steven Tyler's face doesn't move....I'm okay with plastic surgery, and hey, I'm okay with botox, but his face is the same, happy, sad, scared, annoyed, hungry, whatever, the SAME! J Lo-meh. She's just "Jenny from the Block"....plain boring Jenny. Sure, they do her up, put her in some tramp shorts, play with her hair, whatever, but in the end? Booorrrinng! And? I think she could actually be funny under the drama of "Glamour" or whatever it is. And well, Randy, he was the short stick with Paula and Simon anyway, and now? He's the hot stuff...compared to THOSE two....perhaps. Ryan Seacrest, however, still continues to be great.. I like him, there seems to be a little bit of normal in him, he, is the glue. So when all is said and done...I miss Simon...I loved him. Paula, well, I missed her too, she was consistently true to who she was, and Randy? I'd like to be missing you. Idol, needs a break, and Steven Tyler....goodness....two words. Hot Mess.

The "Ted Danson" story.

A blessing for the 5th of January! So...we're in the LA airport...and I went off in search of Cinnabon...which was RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER...and I was off, who knows where. I come back and my mom says that she's pretty sure she just saw Ted Danson....he looked older...but she was sure it was him. I say that's cool, and it's about time....we'd been in LA for over a week and I'd spent a day in Hollywood, and NO encounters! So, we go to get on our flight...and I'm over trying to get our seats, and we go to get on the plan and mom says.....Ted is ON our flight! Ahh...COOL! So now I'll be looking for him! We board...and there he is....his hair is straight white...and his head is down...bummer. Well, in boarding...we naturally stop...I happen to stop next to him...he's reading the Amazon Kindle (an electronic book-for those of you that aren't up on it...) and so I say to him...."do you like that better than the Sony Reader?" He looks up...and says...it was a gift...what's the Sony Reader? I say it's the same thing practically...just a little thinner. He says oh, well, I don't know anything about it, but I kind of miss the pages....I say yeah...he then says, but it's great for the plane, I say that's true, and then he says...but best of all? It was free! We laugh, I pat him on the knee/shoulder (can't remember) and I say, well, enjoy the rest of your book! He says thanks...goes back to reading. My mom, laughing, can't believe I just started a conversation with Ted Danson. I HAD TO! Especially since we didn't get to take a picture together! So, not that many people noticed him, but there was a couple in front of me that saw him too. And get this....THEY SHOWED AN EPISODE OF "CHEERS" ON THE FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who does that! lol. When it came on...I looked around...and really...nobody noticed! Except that one couple. What a hoot. Anyway, he was super nice, and nowhere to be found afterwards....oh well, I still have time for my 2009 Celebrity Photo! Keep your cameras handy folks!!
