Mid-week Entertainment report 2/35/09

Voting for the sleeves girl, A guy leaves Barenaked Ladies (is he CRAZY?), Georgia wins a basketball game and Flo Rida is spun right round.

Ladies and gentlemen, the midweek entertainment report! (Better late than never!)

CLAPCLAPCLAP YAWN!

Steven Page has decided to leave his gig as lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies. Apparently he wants to pursue a solo career and this has NOTHING to do with getting busted with Cocaine recently. (Who is he, Jamal Anderson?) Does this guy really think he has a solo career out there? Does the band think it has a future without this guy? This is kind of like if Zak Hanson had tried to leave Hanson. REALLY? You think this is a smart move? Shawn Michaels leaving the Rockers was smart. This...not so much.

The Georgia men's basketball team just beat Vandy for the team's second conference win of the year. I didn't get to watch this game mind you, and maybe that's a good thing as I just read the box score. Ricky McPhee (Jack's younger brother?) led the Dawgs with 14 points. WOW. That's great that your white walk-on led the team. Dustin Ware and Corey Butler (a true frosh and a former walk-on who shoots something like 9% on his free throws) were the only other players to hit double digits. Trey Thompkins had 9, so did Chris Barnes. then you've got Albert Jackson (a severe waste of talent-kind of like River Phoenix) scoring 4. Georgia managed 61, but still won. WOW. Vandy really sucks!

I was sitting in a bar last Saturday when "You spin me right round" came on, only it was rap-i-sized. Flo Rida had done the remake, and it was pretty good, I have to say. I wasn't a huge fan of his other stuff, but this was pretty decent. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Finally, i am finishing up watching Idol and they gave the pimp final spot to a dude that screamed through Satisfaction. REALLY? If I had to vote people through, it would be the guy doing Man in the Mirror, the hot blond chick with the tattoo sleeves and possibly the other "rocker" redhead 16 year old chick. As for the dude at the end, the judges liked him, but enh. Whatevs. And can Norman Gentle please stop? It would be a shame if he got through over the Man in the Mirror guy (or the last guy, who is good, but I thought gave an overrated performance). Overall this group was hellabetter than last week. I COULD see a winner coming from this group.
