Midweek Entertainment report

Goldberg making Whoopi, an Idol coronation and time for the Neverland Ranch to grow up? Yep, let's jump right in to the midweek entertainment report

The Oscars were this past Sunday and apparently NO one watched them, if you believe the overnight ratings. But one person WAS watching No Country for Old Men win over There Will Be Blood and Juno and she was upset that she wasn't featured in a montage. That's right. Whoopi Goldberg on The View Monday was upset that she was not featured in a montage that covered the history of the Academy Awards. Apparently she wasn't watching when she got her OWN montage later in the show, but that's beside the point. Whoopi has hosted several times (and I went back, NONE of the times were ever funny. It's true) and was miffed that she and Steve Martin weren't featured and her View buddies were quick to her back. "Why weren't you featured? I don't know!" Ummm, Whoopi, How long has it been since you won an award for Ghost? Yeah. It isn't all about you, girl. You weren't the host (thank goodness) and you weren't nominated for anything, like say Eddie 2 (THANK GOODNESS). Were you even there? Whoopi, quit trying to be Rosie O'Donnell by blowing hard bring ratings to that dying show. Get over yourself. And PS, I didn't realize you were on The View. I guess you realized you hadn't been in a movie in a while and decided, why not appear on here with Joy and Bah-brah and that hot little Lizzy Hasselbeck from Survivor.

Last night's male night of American Idol was a bit of a letdown, until the end, when David Archuleta turned this competition into a coronation. Yep, Michael Johns was weak, Jason will be appearing at a frat house near you, Robbie is a faux rocker and the judges called him out on it after David Cook "rocked" the house, but the real story was 17 year old David Archuleta. Everyone stands NO chance. Actually the best chance they have is somehow talking David into dropping out, so he can sign a deal with HIS CHOICE of companies at the top dollar, instead of being locked into the winner's contract. That is everyone else's ONLY CHANCE. The dude is AMAZING and he did Imagine by John Lennon. It was pretty sweet. He is probably the next Josh Groban or something, but this dude can straight up sing.
-As for everyone else, Luke Menard is a former a capella singer who did a song I've never heard of, and I think this dude is GONE. -Robbie tried to do Hot Blooded, but failed (not really, but to me he did because I was thinking of how Chris Daughtry would have OWNED that song whereas Robbie did not). I thought it was funny how the judges still think he is a fake rocker. I agree.
-Danny Noriega was in a former gay punk band, was that right? No, just a punk band. Whatever. But his song was slow and boring, but he will stick around because he is "this year's Sanjaya" or whatever the Votefortheworst.com is calling him.
-David Her-Nan-DEZ I thought was pretty lame until the last 8 seconds of the song. He did enough to stay, but not to be as excited as he was. DUDE YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY!
-Jason Yeager-meister was pretty terrible AGAIN and this time he tried to dance. Thank goodness he didn't break out the "I have a kid" card. I was afraid he would do that.
-Jacuzzi did well, but he should have. The 70s were filled with songs this guy should have owned. He did well
-David Cook was the real rocker here, he even threw picks into the crowd after he played. He is the guy Robbie WISHES he could be, and when the judges said as much, I SO wanted Robbie to just scream out "F YOU GUYS! I AM A ROCKER TOO!" I think we might see Robbie come out in a sweatervest next week.
Finally David came out and he is so sweet. Or if he is faking it with all of the "Thank you"s and what not, then he is a great actor, but the bride-to-be noted last night, and I agree, he seems embarassed to be getting all of that attention. Very humble and VERY talented.
(and one final note...to the child molester and Amy Tone-deaf Davis, both voted off last week, but now complaining, STOP IT. Dude with the molestache, you said the producers MADE you sing Breaking up is hard to do, because your first two options were already selected, YOU HAD AN ENTIRE DECADE'S WORTH of songs to choose from. You probably hadn't made a decision and they told you what to do so you wouldn't HOLD UP THE SHOW. Also, if you took too long the band wouldn't have been ready for you. Get a grip dude. Maybe you should have embraced the razor, and you'd still be there. That and left your brother back at home in the Ohio Trailer, so he wouldn't scare off potential voters. As for YOU Ms. Davis, you are blaming being off key on the fact you didn't have an ear piece? None of the other girls had one, yet they managed to stay on key. Excuses? Yeah. SHUT UP)

And is Neverland Ranch going to grow up? Well documents say that Michael Jackson's playarea will be foreclosed as he has a balance of $24.5M on the Neverland ranch. According to the kid in About a Boy, Michael Jackson makes One million Pounds a minute. Couldn't MJ just wait 25 minutes, then pay this thing off? Where did all of his money go? Certainly not to employees, since there was that lawsuit where he hadn't paid them in forever... But all of the animals have been taken away from his zoo, and he rarely goes there anymore, after the charge that he supposedly got a little boy drunk and felt him up a few years back. But he was acquitted of that charge, so he must not have done that. But really, this is a sad day. The state will apparently auction it off to the highest bidder if Jackson doesn't come up with the money. Here is the real question....who buys this place? Uncle Vito perhaps from Viva La Bam?

Finally... Mischa Barton aka Marissa of The OC was finally charged with four misdemeanors related to a drinking and driving arrest last year. (I blogged about it, you can go back and check.) The charges include driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana, according to court papers. And her lawyer was happy about this. Well, happy they were only misdemeanors. According to yahoo, her lawyer Anthony Salerno said, "The D.A.'s office is to be commended for treating this case the same as it would any other matter; Ms. Barton has received no special treatment."
No word yet on if the community service or 3 hour jail sentence (as is the norm apparently for these celebreality stars) will affect her filming in the upcoming "Virgin Territory." Marissa was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in Beverly Hills Superior Court.
