Oscars 2012 The Red Carpet

I am watching the Red Carpet arrivals on E! Entertainment Television.

2 questions, 1. Who died and made Kelly Osbourne a fashion expert? She is talking about what makes a dress timeless, etc, where is her fashion degree, she sat first row at fashion week, she threw up on Anna Wintour, what are her credentials. She has skull and cross-bones tattoos on her feet for crying out loud. 2. Who picked out Guliana Rancic’s dress, it is horrible. 

Love watching Ryan Seacrest schmooze with everyone, when Ryan started doing this years ago he was just a guy doing the red-carpet just getting his deals with AI and E!, now he is a major player. He has multimillion dollar deals with E!, he is worth a ton of money and is rumored to take over for Matt Lauer.  “As one power player to another, what are you wearing?”. 

Anywho.. on to the fashion.

News Tib Bits

Let the negotiating begin, possible pay cut for Ryan Seacrest puts his AI future in doubt (psst he wants Matt Lauer‘s job)

Grey’s does Fringe, they are doing an alternate reality episode. Hope it works out  better than last season’s musical episode

NBC is considering bringing Canadian  medical drama Saving Hope to the US. It stars one of the greatest actresses of our time Erica Durance (Lois Lane on Smallville).  If you followed Smallville and read the fan boards the you know I am kidding. She was the worst thing that ever happened to Lois Lane of the Superman mythos, expect for Bryan Singer‘s Superman Returns. But I digress.

2012 TV Birthday Wishes

It’s a new year, a birth of sorts, a birth-day if you will, so how about a few wishes for the new TV year.  I would love to hear your wishes/hopes/desires for TV 2012, please head to the comments.

My wishes

Fox doesn’t cancel Fringe

Fox does cancel American Idol ( I know never in a million years). I am hearing rumors that Ryan Seacrest is stepping down to take over for Matt Lauer when he leaves the Today show.  Let me tell you about Ryan, when I moved to L.A. in the 90’s Ryan was the afternoon drive Dj on Star 98.7, now he is a media mogul, his producing deal with E! Entertainment is worth millions, yes, we have him to thank for the Kardashian’s. Not to mention his radio hosting duties, he replaced Rick Dees on Kiss and Casey Kasem on the weekly Top 40. Ryan just jumps into any grave. The rumor around Hollywood is a certain male media mogul who had his heyday in the 50-70’s  had a lot to do with Ryan’s success, and the old casting couch was a big part of it.  They don’t call him GayCrest for nothing.

We find out who got shot in the Revenge pilot before the season finale, it would be great to wrap up that storyline before the end of the season.  My money is on Tyler for the victim and real Emily for the shooter.

House ends it run, the season has been fantastic they can go out on top.

The CW Renews Ringer and Hart of Dixie and cancels 90210 and Gossip Girl

Fox decides not greenlight the Glee spinoff, but figures out a way to keep Kurt. Lea and Corey can leave my TV now.

This isn’t so much a wish, but a fact, Med Men is back this spring. Don Draper how I have missed you.

The networks cut the number of competition/reality shows, and get back to scripted comedy and dramas with shorter seasons, so we get more choice and reduced production costs. Isn’t the 22 episode format a thing of the past.

 Vampire Diaries continues to keep Elena and Stefan apart and keeps Stefan bad. 

CBS renews A Gifted Man or gives Patrick Wilson a new show, please keep him on my screen

When The Closer ends next summer, they kill off someone other than Brenda’s father, like Fritz. That show can take the high drama and Kyra would turn in one hell of a performance.
