Tidbits

I thought today I'd just give you a few tidbits that are crossing my mind.

First, we lost two actors on the 11th: Kevin McCarthy and Harold Gould. 

Kevin McCarthy was 96. He died of natural causes. He acted in several movies including Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Death of a Salesman, The Misfits and Innerspace. He also appeared in several television shows.

Harold Gould was 86. He died from prostate cancer. He was a television actor known mainly as his roles of Martin Morgenstern on Rhoda and The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Miles Webber on The Golden Girls.

May they both Rest In Peace.

Speaking of television, it is the season for several of my favorite shows. 

Big Brother's season finale was on last Wednesday. Hayden, the 24 year old college student from Arizona, won the half million dollars. I wanted Lane to win but eh, what can I do? Nada! Actually if we really got honest, I would have liked to have seen Lane and Enzo in the final two and possibly Enzo winning. Ok, honesty, I slipped there for a minute...I wanted Lane to win it all!! Since I didn't talk about Big Brother this year, I guess I should leave it at that.

That same night, Season 21 of Survivor premiered. Woohoo! I really enjoyed it. They have the tribes separated into old (40 and over) and young (30 and under) and guess who is on the old tribe....

C'mon, guess...

I'll bet you'll never get it. 

Well, maybe if you're a big fan like I am you WILL...

It's JIMMY JOHNSON!!! Yes, the famous football coach Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Johnson who coached both the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Jimmy Johnson who is one of only two coaches to win both a college national championship AND a Super Bowl! I am psyched and can't wait to see how he does on the show! Although he is an older man now (67) and wasn't doing too well physically after setting up camp, I'm still hoping he does a great job! I'll just have to keep watching and see for myself. 

Of course, there is no problem with my continuing to watch. I've been a loyal fan since Season 1. I'll just have to remember that they've moved to Wednesday's.

I guess that's about all the rambling I'm going to do today. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Tell me what you think...

I read about the internet "kill switch" on someone's blog the other day. Then I read a news story about it (which I can't find again because my computer got wiped out yesterday and all my history is gone). And then today I watched this video on YouTube...



I have very mixed feelings on this subject. What I want to know is what do you think? Is it a good thing or is it the government controlling just one more thing? Let me know. Your opinion may help me finally form my opinion.

This is AMAZING

Most of you know my TV loves so today's post should be no surprise to you.

I was reading all of my celebrity news and came across two stories that totally made me smile.

The first story was on People and involved my Simon Cowell. He is putting together a record to aid the victims in Haiti. Isn't that amazing?! I think it is. The Live-Aid style record will include the voices of Susan Boyle and Leona Lewis and is supposed to take place in the next few days.

He said, "We are going to do a single. I wanted to do something for Haiti, and we had a request from the Prime Minister to put a record together." And some of y'all say he has no heart. All I have to say about that is.....HA! Go Simon!

The second thing I saw (and honestly I don't remember WHERE I saw it but it made me jump right over to The Amazing Race on CBS) was this picture:

Look at the back row...Do you see who I see? :D

Yep! That's Jeff & Jordan from last season's Big Brother! Yay!! I can't wait to see this year's Amazing Race now!! It premiers on Valentine's Day (February 14th) and I'm here to tell you I won't miss it!

I ♥ Big Brother

Yes, I mean the television show.

I have been a big fan of Big Brother since it's debut in 2000. A big fan. As a matter of fact, I'm such a big fan that I follow them on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. I've had the live feed several times. I get upset if I miss a show. Very upset. These people are my friends after all. I don't want to miss anything they say or do.

Ok, maybe they have no clue who I am or would ever call me their friend, but I am a fan and I do become emotionally involved with each and every one of them during the season. Because of all of this, it should be no surprise to you that I became very excited while reading a story on People Magazine's website this morning.

Let me show you what caught my attention...

Big Brother’s Jeff & Jordan: Officially Together!

Yes! I totally adored them on the show and thought they would make a terrific couple in real life!

When asked if they were together, Jordan said "Yes we are!". Jeff told People "“I liked her on the show, that was obvious, but after the show ended I liked her even more. I get in trouble when I say that, because Jordan is like, ‘You didn’t like me on the show, and now you like me!?’ but what I mean is that I like her even more now that I see who she is outside of the BB house.”"

I am so excited!! I hope it works out for them.
