Mid-week entertainment report

It's Wednesday so the biggest three stories from THUS far this week, in MY humble opinion.....

No Golden Globes this year because of the writers' strike and the Oscars are in danger as well. So let me get this straight. Because a bunch of Television writers are striking, we don't get the Golden Globes? Is it because the host wouldn't have been able to spew out the monologue (which btw, usually isn't that funny anyways?) Is it because picketers might have shown up and ruined the red carpet? That's an easy fix. Just don't have a red carpet ceremony, or leave it to TV Guide channel, which no one with Digital cable watches anyways. I have an idea. Have the Golden Globes and when it is time to honor the best written comedy on TV...say NO ONE WINS SINCE THEY ARE ON STRIKE! That would stick it to them. HA!
But seriously, the strike might cause the Oscars to do what the Golden Globes are doing:announce the winners at a press conference? Ummm last time I checked, the Oscars honored MOVIES! And the reason the television writers are TV writers and not MOVIE writers is because they aren't good enough to be movie writers. Why should you make US suffer by missing the Oscars (which again, HONORS MOVIES and not TV) and the only good host in quite a while (Jon Stewart)? You couldn't have done this last year when Ellen was hosting? Shouldn't the TV writers' strike affect the Emmy's? You know TV's awards? I'm just saying........

Posh Spice was named the "worst dressed" celeb for 2007 by some tool named Mr. Blackwell. Really? And Amy Whinehouse was #2 on your list? Some of his best celebs were Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor and the Queen of England. Madonna? She once wore construction cones for a bra. But what do you have against Posh Spice? Is it because she is hot, and you Mr. Blackwell are probably an ugly person. You have been doing this list for 48 years. So you are clearly an old foggy. It might time to quit with the list. Can we get someone a little more hip and with the times to do this list? If you need me to volunteer, I can do that. (also, I didn't realize Lizzie Taylor was still alive, but apparently she is, and she is very well dressed.)

Finally Jerry Seinfeld and his wife are being sued by Missy Chase Lapise for "plagiarizing her cookbook." Really? Mrs. Seinfeld wrote the book, so clearly the only reason Jerry's name is in the lawsuit is for attention. As for Mrs. Seinfeld being sued because the ideas are similar....give me a break. I wonder if the french chef that created chicken cordon bleu sued Rachel Ray for having that dish on 30 minute meals. I wonder if Julius sued Giada DeLaurentis for stealing his Caesar Salad? You can't say some one plagiarized you just because they TOO make a dish of chicken with rice and cream of mushroom soup. If Seinfeld came out with a book that gives advice on how to feed your children healthy food without them knowing it, good for her. You know what would make YOUR book sell more Missy Chase Lapise? If it works better. If the kids like your recipes better than Mrs. Seinfeld's. get over it. I am sure Paula Dean doesn't mind that Ina Garden ALSO makes a roasted chicken. It isn't like she invented the concept. Get a grip.
