Midweek Entertainment report 2/24/10

Vick to get nekked?, Archer will return to F/X, Seinfeld's idea actually a good one, a Real Housewife (well, unmarried one...) loses a job and Ole Miss getting a new mascot from a galaxy far far away?

Ladies and gentlemen, the midweek entertainment report!

CLAPCLAPCLAP (hey, it's a recession.)

Michael Vick used to have a $130M contract from the Falcons plus much more from Nike and other sponsors. Then he lost it all and went to jail. The Eagles gave him a deal for close to $5M, but he might get cut before he sees most of that cash, and the dough he has from them has been carved up and doled out to creditors. Vick could soon be a millionaire again....thanks to Playgirl Magazine. The publication has reportedly offered Vick one MILLION dollars to pose nude ala Levi Johnston. Will MV7 do it? Dunno, but 1M is a lot of cash in this recession. Just saying................

Archer has been picked up for another season on F/X and if you haven't seen it yet, GO TO ON-DEMAND AND WATCH IT. Wifey doesn't like it but the humor is there, kind of like Arrested Development-esque humor. I usually have two or three laugh out loud moments in each show, which is impressive because I don't always LOL during TV shows. Is the show absurd? yes. but still quite funny for a kid that grew up watching EVERY SINGLE James Bond movie. Throw in the fact that Aisha Tyler does a voice for the show and you have a winner.

Seinfeld's new show The Marriage Ref actually looks pretty funny, and it is an idea that could stick around. Married couples will always fight and this show will pick a winner. Sometimes I wish I had a marriage ref when Wifey starts talking crazy. (wait, if she is reading this, she is BEAUTIFUL!)

Kandi Burruss of the Real Housewives (that aren't actually married) of Atlanta opened up a TAGS boutique, but shockingly it is closing. Why? because you are a reality-celeb that tried to cash in on some "heat" from RHoA which you shouldn't have really done because you aren't that famous. Sorry. the show you SOMETIMES appear on is on Bravo. For the record. If Sly and Ar-nald and the rest of the gang from planet hollywood failed, how did you think you'd make it?

Finally, Ole Miss has been sans mascot since 2003 when the school decided the ole' Col. Reb was a bit too racist. REALLY? Ya THINK? Well the school has wisely decided to let the students decide who the mascot should be, and a Facebook petition has been pushing Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars. Yeah, the octopusfish-face guy that screams "It's a trap!" This is what happens when you let the students decide. Bill Stewart keeps his job and you get Admiral Ackbar as your mascot. Honestly....but I guess, as the campaign says, an Admiral is better than a Colonel.

Have a great rest of the week everybody!
