Happy Friday! And not only is it a happy Friday, it’s the happy Friday BEFORE A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. It’s like I died and went to Friday heaven.
Today I’m celebrating the end of another reality TV season, of which I didn’t get to enjoy to the fullest extent. You see, up until about a month ago, my child was going to bed approximately way to late o’clock and leaving me with little to no time to watch hours upon hours of reality show competitions.

There was a day, not long ago, when I lived and breathed American Idol. I couldn’t wait until Tuesday night, when I’d park my tail in front of the TV and allow myself to be taken away by terrible covers of adult contemporary hits and the charm of Ryan Seacrest. I haven’t been into it the past two seasons because it’s not the saaammmeeee ( /whinyvoice) without the original crew.
I’m sort of (extremely) bummed about it this year, though, for one huge reason: the kiss seen ’round the world between winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina. Why oh why did I decide to not actively participate in the spectacle of American Idol on a year with all that juiciness? Did they let people know? Was it a thing all season?
The non-answer answer to the “are they or aren’t they?” question makes me think both these kids are destined for a career in public relations if this whole singing thing doesn’t work out (it probably won’t).
I read somewhere that the powers that be wanted Lauren to win because a young male has won the competition several years in a row, to which I say to those people, “good luck, chuck.” Because as long as there are teenage girls with cell phones, a cute, unassuming male will always win. Why? Teenage girls are mean and spiteful and boycrazy — a terribly lethal combination for any young female finalist. They are always going to vote for the boy. And I just wonder how many sweet little hearts were broken after that little peck on the lips. About 122 million, I reckon.
It’s also, sadly, time to hang up our dancing shoes, skin tight pants and sequined bras because the Mirrorball Trophy has been awarded yet again. Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward out-danced the competition. He was good, too, but not nearly as fun to look at as Maks. He’s going to put the trophy right next to his MVP trophy. And by “next to”, I’m sure he means next to the room that’s next to the MVP trophy, which happens to also be a closet. And for safe keeping, he’s going to store it securely in a cardboard box.
In Kids These Days news, Abigail Breslin makes $40k per day.
Fourty. Thousand. Dollars. PER DAY.
*GIANT COLLECTIVE SIGH*
Oh! So, did you hear? Unlucky in love Kim Kardashian got hitched! Her basketball player boyfriend, Kris Humphries, popped the question this week with a 20.5 carat diamond engagement ring. Excuse me? Twenty and a half carats? My engagement ring is a half carat and sometimes I’m worried about losing it. A true test of if you have more money than sense is when you feel comfortable enough to go to the Kangaroo station flashing a 20.5 carat diamond. Who am I kidding, Kim Kardashian does not go to a Kangaroo station.
I bet Ryan Seacrest is building a new swimming pool as we speak so he can fill it up with dollar bills he’ll get from producing a new show with Kim and Kris.
Have a happy Memorial Day weekend, friends! See you next week!

I think kimmy k’s ring is 20.5, not 205 carats. Either way- totally outrageous!

Ha! OMG you’re right! I dont’ know why I typed that. I blame it on writing it while I was about to fall asleep. I just changed it. dur!
Maybe Kris figured that a bigger ring would make her ass look smaller. Oh who am I kidding? Nothing can tame that ass.

Oh that’s just 20 shades of awesome right there, friend.
I loved Dancing with the stars this season. Did you know that Maks was on the Ukrainian Bachelor last year? I would love to see that. I was a big fan of Hines and his dancing, especially the foxtrot! That’s one and only reason i hate summer time – no more fun shows to follow. Of course, there is always America’s Got Talent!

I didn’t know that! Ah! I need to find it on YouTube…wonder if he found anybody? The Bachelorette is also on all summer! That’s something I guess.

I didn’t see the kiss but I heard about it. I’m not that big of Idol fan, so I wasn’t watching. But that ring? Ridiculous. Who needs a ring that big?

Dancing with the Stars is over, but now we have So You Think You Can Dance!
The Kardashians…UGH. They define “money can’t buy class.”

So glad I have you to keep me uptodate on reality tv. I haven’t watched AI since the first or second season & even then it was only the first week when the trainwrecks were on.
As far as Kimmie K’s ring goes- that is just ABSURD! I wonder if it’s even real..

I’m with you on Idol, I tried to watch last season and couldn’t do it (the talent was soooo meh) and I didn’t even make an attempt this year. THEN everyone’s talking about some kiss on the finale and I have no idea! I LOVE undercover romances.
Don’t hang up the dancing shoes just yet, SYTYCD is back!
Undercover romances are the bees knees! Totally worth watching if, if only I knew!

Um, if I were to care for Abigail Bresling like…4 days a year, do you think she’d just give me her income for the day? I’d take REALLY GOOD care of her.
KLZ recently posted..Milestones- Letters for Lucas
HEll, I’ll take care of her two days a year. Driver her anywhere she wanted. Let her throw hot coffee on me. WHATEVER.
I think I want to go back in time and become a child star. I could do ok with that kind of money. Or maybe I just need to find me an available basketball player. He doesn’t need to be cute even. Well, ok… maybe a little cute.

TWENTY and a half carats?
TWENTY?
I think two and a half carats is pretty damn impressive.
But what do I know…
I still think Kim Kardashian has no business being a celebrity at all, so clearly I’m deluding myself.

Totally sick. I think after about 4 carats, they start looking fake. Might as well get it at Claire’s Boutique.

The tiny ounce of me that is a “Cincinnatian” hated to see a Steeler win, but I’m really happy that Kym Johnson won!
I heard Kimmy K wants to get married and have a huge wedding THIS summer. As in, within the next 3 months. Then she wants a baby within the next year!

Yeah, 20.5 carats is crazy. How cn she lift her hand? Or wipe her butt? Really?
BTW Amanda, I’ve moved because blogger was being psychotic, just in case you didn’t recognize the name.
Andrea recently posted..>From the Oh My God Files
That’s why I moved, too! Blogger was being ridiculous. I’ll head over to your place and catch up.
First let me say O.M.G. how have I not found your blog before??! I love reality tv and am so thankful for LBS tea party for letting me find this today.
I watched American Idol and I missed that kiss. So are they an item? I stopped thinking the best singer would win when Pia got voted off but I still enjoyed this season more than most. Steven Tyler was fun for a season but really gave little to no constructive advise and I hope he’s gone next season. JLO isn’t my favorite person or singer but she’s nice to look at and gave a kindness to the judges.
I can’t wait now for Big Brother! Do you watch that?
Holly recently posted..L
Like I said, I LOVED Idol up until a couple of years ago! We tried this year but just couldn’t keep up. Next season though! Do you watch the Bachelorette? I’m a big fan and haven’t watched yet, but will be setting it up to DVR this wk
Just saw you’re in Sarasota? I live in Gainesville!
Hi,

Aw, thank you! I’ll be stopping by yours, too! Love finding new blogs.
He’s going to be regretting the cash he dumped into that ring cuz this marriage will last, oh, about 4 months.
liz recently posted..I Was a Senior Hottie!
Kris Humpheries an average NBA player. He’s probably got three or four decent years left in his career. How he can even afford that ring is beyond me.
Plus he’s not famous enough for her. Dude isn;’t even an All Star nor does he have endorsements.
Trouble soon, imo.
Lance recently posted..Not To Be Or Not To Be
Probably more money than sense. Honestly, if he’s only got three or four decent years, he had to hook that money maker now…You know KK will ALWAYS find some way to bring in the dough.
I am coming over from they Lady Blogger Society Social Tea Party! I loved your Gossip News Round Up! Wonder if the Scotty/Lauren relationship will fizzle out like the Justin/Britney relationship did… ending in songs about each other. With AI being over, I guess the next reality series to blog about will be the 30 men throwing themselves at the so called “Bachlorette”.

Ahh yes when I heard about Kim K’s ring I just sat and stared at my ring and tried to imagine it being 20 times bigger and how that would probably really weigh my hand down and make me look really strange. So really, less is more. I heard about this kiss on some interview with Ryan Seacrest on the radio but I don’t actually watch Idol so I don’t have much input.
