Midweek Entertainment report 3/3/10

Producer gets banned from Oscars, Erin Andrews to dance as a star, Hulu loses Colbert, Casey McCall tries another network, Palin is a barrell of laughs and Let's Get Idol!

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is the MIDWEEK ENTERTAINMENT REPORT.....(Thanks Seacrest)

CLAPCLAPCLAP, tween girls screaming!

So the Oscars have banned one of the producers from Hurt Locker from this weekend's awards show. Apparently this dude was sending out emails to the voters, telling them to vote for his movie and to put Avatar at No.10 on their ballots. This is a no-no according to the Oscars. Let me get this straight...this guy invested money into this movie, and is now trying to get an award for it, so people will go see it again (let's be honest. see it for the first time!) and he can make money. Hmmmmmm, what a DICK he is being, trying to make money!

Erin Andrews was revealed to be in the cast of Dancing with the Stars. Good for her. Now college fratastics won't have to imagine her in sexy, quasi-revealing outfits, they can just tune in to SEE her in them!

Comedy Central announced that it is pulling the Colbert Report and the Daily Show off of Hulu. Doesn't matter. Hulu is blocked at the office. Plus I can watch the reruns on Charter On-Demand at home.....if I watched those shows. I'm not really a news hound, even a comedic news hound. More of a sports guy, to be honest.

Casey McCall is getting another shot on network TV! His show Parenthood debuted last night and while the Promos made it seem like it was going to be a comedy, especially with the F-me santa Gilmore girl and Dax Shepard, the show was heartbreaking at times. I am assuming that is what REAL parenthood is all about. Plus it has COACH in it, so you KNOW I'm going to watch.

Sarah Palin was on Leno last night and she apparently is now a standup comic. Well, not really, but her writing staff certainly gave her a sackful of one-liners that she pulled off. Outdid Leno to be honest, but that isn't hard. Careful Sarah, if you do better than him, he'll steal your timeslot!

Finally, I missed Idol last night (I was watching West Wing DVDs. Santos v Russell v Hoynes v Al Bundy at the DNC! Fun stuff!), but I heard that the mullet kid, while not good, has the support of VOTE FOR THE WORST, so he'll stick around. For some reason the boys sang last night instead of tonight, whatever. I watched last week. Everybody stinks. Likely no memorable moments from this season. Cool! Another Jordin Sparks year!

Thanks everybody and be sure to log on to gpb.org/basketball starting at 5:45 for 2nd round BBall action!
