All Time Least Popular Video Clip

Over at Hulu they have a list of the most popular clips. And it goes on a long way. You can sort by items popular today, this week, this month, or "all time." So, what's the least popular video clip on the site? This one, in which a rich lady talks about her rich husband's psychological need to win at tennis. I can see why. I hate her already. I hate everything she represents. Why would I ever watch that show, much less identify with her or her horrible husband?

Is There A Makeover Episode On "Idol?"

For some reason, I keep thinking there's a makeover episode of "American Idol," but I guess that's more of a "Top Model" thing. Because, as much as I like Amanda "DUI Nurse" Overmyer and her whiskey-and-cigarettes voice, she totally needs change of hairstyle.

We're Back In The Fifties

Seriously, I haven't heard so much talk about virginity since I was in the ninth grade. "OMG, she's totally doing him." "No way, she's a virgin!"

Only when I was in the ninth grade, we didn't say "OMG" or "doing it." We didn't have txtspk and so we said things like "dude, Frank, are you boning Susan?" 

I guess I went to a pretty liberal school, though, because despite weekly religious services, very few of my friends said they wanted to wait until marriage to get some action. We planned to wait until we found someone we liked a lot. Or until college, whichever came first.

Anyway, my point is that "Dancing With The Stars" ballroom expert Julianne Hough is the latest young lady to come out and say she's saving herself for marriage. She's 19, more than old enough to have realized that's a total crock of shit.

I don't have any objection, really, to waiting 'til marriage. Or at least, to being 19 and thinking you're going to wait 'til marriage. It seems foolish to me to commit your life to someone without at least sampling the goods, but hey, your choice. I just don't see why the entire world needs to know about Julianne Hough's sex life or lack thereof. I don't care if she has a sweet spirit or virgin lips. I don't know what the emphasis is on the chastity of our female celebrities. I really don't.

Frankly, the emphasis on chastity seems a lot like a sexual Maginot line, but I guess that the lessons of history aren't exactly likely to help in American popular culture.

I'm also mildly confused by the large number of Mormon ballroom dancing stars. I mean, isn't dancing usually a prelude to sex? And doesn't ballroom require immodest dress? Help me out here.

Michael Lohan: D-Bag Supremo

Michael Lohan is many things. An ex-con. A minister. A pontificator about morals, drugs, film, popular culture, drugs, morals, and God. Did I mention that he talks a lot about morals and God? Because he does. He's really into the whole morality, chastity, God, morality thing.

Also he likes strip clubs. Busted!

Rebecca Romijn Likes Boys

InStyle, Bebe ("slutty clothes, high prices!"), and a bunch of midlist hotties joined thirteen-year-old Mark Indelicato to promote the g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s life this week. Mark Intelicato, far right, is the kid who plays Betty's nephew on "Ugly Betty." The rest of the hotties are (L to R) Becki Newton, Rebecca Romijn, and Vanessa Williams.

Hey little boy, let me give you some advice: Do not make the Miley Cyrus kissy face for the camera. It sucks.

Amy Winehouse Meets Neko Case Meets Jewel

I'll freely admit to being outside the appropriate demographic for new pop music, but I stumbled across this Tina Dico video, and I think it's worth looking at. She's got a neo-soul vibe at the beginning which sounds sort of like Amy Winehouse or Neko Case, but she's also got the blonde poet with a guitar thing going on that's sure to draw some comparisons to Jewel. And of course, "singer wandering around in Joshua Tree national park" is up there with "explosions and boobs" for music video cliches, but it's still pretty striking visually.

What say you, readers: Is Tina Dico the new hotness?

Second-Guessing The "Idol" Song Choices

It was 80s week on "American Idol" this week, but before they send people home tonight, I want to take a moment to criticize the contestants for their poor song choices. For further "AI" coverage, see TV With MeeVee.

The Boys:
Luke Menard sang "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," which is pretty decent, really. I think something from George Michael's dirtier song selections would have been better, but he did OK with this one.

David Archuleta picked "Another Day In Paradise," which is at least not as bad as "We Are The World" or "Don't They Know It's Christmas?" but could have been immeasurably better. Why not sing "Karma Chameleon"? God, anything but Phil Collins. Has he not read "American Psycho?"

Danny Noriega ruined "Tainted Love." If you're going to queen it up, go all the way and sing "It's Raining Men."

David Hernandez went with Celine Dion. "It's All Coming Back To Me" was a good showcase for his voice, but why pick a diva song? Un-in-spired. He could have done A-Ha with that voice to much better effect.

Michael Johns choice of "Don't You Forget About Me" - this was actually a decent choice, although not really very creative. How about something by A-Ha or the Pet Shop Boys? Hell, go with the Australian thing and do INXS.

Correction: Patrick Swayze Is Not Nearly As Sick As Reported

Reports of Patrick Swayze's impending death were greatly exaggerated, says Celebitchy. Just an FYI there.
