Lost Parody

As If the award winning show Lost wasn’t enough to enthrall and excite the viewers, Fine Brothers i.e. Ben Fine and Rafi Fine came up with a brilliant spoof on the show as Lost Parody wherein they mock and snap at the actors/characters from the original show.

But trust me it is far from disparaging and has only added to the popularity of lost. Parody on Lost is not an everyday spoof. It’s awesome. The concept is so ingenuous that the Fine Brothers deserve more than applauses and appreciation. What makes it outstanding is that the Lost Parody has toys in place of actors, playing characters not only from the original show but from other equally famous television or movie series like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Heroes or even the NY Yankees. Sounds amusing, eh?? Wait till you’ve seen it. The entire concept and the filming of it will have you in splits.

In the beginning the whole concept was given a different name-Lost: What Will Happen Next”, but as it became popular among the American public it was renamed to Lost Parody. The creators of the show are so happy after changing the name because it was only because of this they got increasing popularity.

The Parody on lost has gained so much fan following with the show itself that the creators J Abrams and Damon Lindelof might even consider making a spoof of their very own show. But the ‘original’ spoof has gathered so much an audience that even a spoof by the original makers might not pull the audiences.

The artistic Fine Brothers have made sure that the audience enjoys watching these toys acting and playing the role of their favorite characters of Lost. They have even instilled some of the famous people from movies and TV so that this concept becomes even more enjoyable.

You simply can’t imagine the confusion that ensued when Captain Jack Sparrow (yeah, The POC fame) landed on the mysterious island of Lost and shared it with our very own Dr. Jack Shepherd, the protagonist in this mysterious tale combining past, present and future.

The sixth season is expected to come in 2010 and the audiences and fans are waiting alike for it to start. The audiences are waiting for the Lost Parody for the next season too, I am sure.

Home Movie Theater: Screens

Filed under: Celebrity Homes — Tags: — Owen Jones @ 9:06 am

When it comes to choosing a screen, the first thing to think about is the type of screen you want or even may need. If the room where you are setting up your home theater is a big one, then you will need to have a home theater projection screen or maybe you just want one anyway.

I, personally, like the idea of having a drop-down screen, but sometimes you have to have one even in a modest home theater. It converts your living room into a home theater: you recline in your chair; click a button and a screen drops down; click a button and the lights dim; click another one and the movie begins!

However, if you prefer a television screen, then you might consider buying a new one. They say that a 27 inch screen is big enough, but I do not agree. I really think you need 48-60 inches, but then I am a baby-boomer and my eyes are definitely not what they used to be.

If you are purchasing a new TV for your home movie theater, I think you should get the latest model. HDTV is upon us and since February 2009 the USA has been committed to High Definition. So, I would ensure that your new television is able to receive it. Then I suggest that your new home movie theater screen be a flat one in order to reduce the annoying reflections that could ruin your experience, which could be another reason for opting for a projection screen.

Then you should make sure that the new television has enough input and output sockets for the equipment you plan to use and you’re ready. Therefore, to summarize, I would go for:

At minimum a 27 inch screen

A flat screen

HDTV enabled

Sufficient input and output sockets

Satellite enabled

I recommend satellite compatibility because it is probably the future or near future at least. If you get a satellite TV connection you will have access to HDTV downloads which you can watch whenever you like.

Britney Spears Solidifies Her Comeback With Womanizer Single

Filed under: Britney Spears — Tags: — Shane Bascome @ 8:32 am
by Shane Bascome

For this writer, listening to Britney Spears’ Womanizer single is reminiscent of how good she was back in her prime. This song will induce only two reactions: love or hate it. But I’m pretty sure most will not go for the latter.

For years, fans have missed the kind of music only Britney Spears can give. And with the release of Blackout the album, the pop superstar announced to the world that she is back after a couple of tumultuous years. Her comeback was made official by a lackluster (and oftentimes lambasted) performance at the MTV VMAs where she did not appear to be in her element.

Blackout turned out to be her most unsuccessful album in her career. She then released a track from her upcoming album called Womanizer which seemed to have redeemed her from the mess she made at the MTV Awards. The track contained everything that is Britney Spears: funky, interesting, and catchy. It will make you dance and groove. You will experience last-song-syndrome after listening to it.

Fans will be able to connect to the song easily. The words, penned by Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi, were relatable. It tells the story of a womanizer who’s trying to score but he’s been found out and the girl is not giving him a chance to even reach first base. A lot of young girls will connect to this one. The chorus cannot be any catchier: Womanizer, woman-womanizer You’re a womanizer Oh womanizer, Oh you’re a womanizer baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.

The track has an electro-punk feel. It’s something that seems to be becoming a trend in today’s hit songs. However, despite the dance-y and pop quality of the song, it seems that they could have done away with the electo-techno-futuristic sound. The song would have done as well if it stayed on the pop-bubble gum genre which Britney Spears is famous for.

The record still sounds great nevertheless. One can’t deny that this is a hit–a Britney hit. She has her signature all over the record:The lyric, phrasing, the distinctive vocals and tempo.

Most artists would like to come out with a different sounding records. Britney was among them (she had a collaboration with Madonna) but with this particular track, it seemed she went back a couple of steps. The way Womanizer was arranged (taking the futuristic sound away), it sounded like the kind of record she would sing years ago, but it is NOT an issue because it sounded great. It was wise to go back to basics after her hiatus because it re-solidified her hold in the pop scene.

Womanizer is a great song. Nothing much can be said, really. If you expect a great song from Britney Spears for her upcoming album, then this one really raised the bar.

At minimum a 27 inch screen

A flat screen

HDTV compatibility

Enough input and output plugs and sockets

Satellite compliant

I would definitely get a receiver which is already satellite enabled, because it is the future or even the near future. If you get a satellite TV connection you will have access to HDTV downloads which you can watch on your new home movie theater installation whenever you want.

The Obama Administration Plans to Unfreze Banks

Filed under: Barack Obama — Tags: — Scott Darrohn @ 9:14 am
by Scott Darrohn

The Obama administration released a plan to unfreeze credit by helping struggling banks to rid themselves of bad loans through a 1 to 2 trillion dollar purchase to stimulate economic activity. The news resulted in a huge stock rally, though it later cooled down on Tuesday as all the info released in the Tuesday night presidential address started to take root and settle in. The initial shock and hesitancy should wear off as the pieces start to fall in place in President Obamas plan.

The President and his administration have plans to change financial regulations including such plans as greater government regulation and even in some cases to take over financial companies who are in danger of collapsing and causing chaos throughout the entire system, such as the controversial AIG. President Obama continues to stress the importance of helping companies such as AIG in order to build the economy up and stop the bleeding. If Insurance coverage and lending cease it would destroy what is an already faltering economic system.

The nations greater needs take precedence over continuing the focus on the recent bonus scandals that have been surrounding such companies. President Barack Obama has urged the Nation to turn their attention to the bigger picture rather than focus on executive bonuses. While he has shown outrage over this himself, he sites continued micro-attention on it as a distraction from the crisis at hand.

Obama stated that his administration is working on all angles of this crisis as we have seen through recent task forces designed to stop just this sort of behavior. He re-stated one part of his economic plan saying that its a strategy to create jobs, to help responsible homeowners, and to restart lending. This will help grow our economy over a general period of time.

The president remains optimistic despite the worst economic crisis we’ve faced in over 25 years, but reminds Americans with his usual directness that it will take time. It will also take patience and it will take an understanding that when we work together, when each of us looks beyond our own short term interests to the wider set of obligations we have to each other, thats when we succeed.

Russell Wetanson, the Celebrity Legal Expert, Can Show You The Ups and Downs of Celebrity Law

Filed under: Celebrity Gossip — Tags: — Selena Mcmanis @ 8:39 am
by Selena Mcmanis

There are a million tv shows, magazines and blogs about celebrities, celebrity gossip, celebrity news, whatever. So at this point I feel it’s important to have an angle; to have something slightly different to say which keeps the subject interesting. Which explains my reason for writing a semi-fan essay about Russell Wetanson, author of “Popsquire” blog and subject matter expert in pop culture law.

1 Russell is trained in law. He has provided representation for well known people like Madonna. As a television personality, he’s spoken with some people you might recognize - such as Beyonce, Kate Hudson, and Matthew McConaughey. All the education, direction and experience come together to make something new. You will find that his viewpoints on entertainment and celebrities will be quite different from the norm. His knowledge of law and specifically entertainment law adds something different; especially when you consider how many legal matters exist in the entertainment industry. This makes for endless, and definitely entertaining, blog fodder, articles and interviews. And as a side note, can you imagine thinking like a lawyer and also like someone in the entertainment industry? I can’t. These two fields are so diametrically opposed, it’s truly amazing to see how Russell synthesizes these two viewpoints into something workable and fun.

2 He focuses on the controversial, legal or potentially legal, hollywood news. Actually, I have no interest in their love lives or what people wear to various events. What DOES interest me is the darker and more controversial stuff. The battle between Miss California and Perez Hilton has been intriguing. Paris Hilton’s first hand account in court - CAPTIVATING And Michael Jackson? Well, let’s just say the fun NEVER ends with that one.

3 Lighten Up. magazines or blogs take a really serious approach to the legal goings on among celebrities. And that tends to affect people’s views of the individuals about whom they’re talking. It’s not that serious, though. It’s called the “Entertainment Industry” because it’s supposed to ENTERTAIN us. And Mister Wetanson remembers this. He is comical and entertaining wherever I see him. Yes it’s news. But it’s fun news. And it’s unserious. And that’s good. I’ll watch the news if I want something serious.

4 General level of awesome. How’s this for a skill set: Law, fluent spanish, broadcast journalism-featured on NBC, Fox News, E, TV Guide network and HLN, MSN, NBC4, Current TV, Si TV and Yahoo Newsprint, print journalism, scuba diving, yoga, voiceover, commercial, blogging, pop culture trivia and white water rafting. How can you not love someone with that combination of skills? Not possible. Really, there is nothing else to it.

American Idol Songs

Filed under: America Idol — Tags: — Maria Jaffe @ 9:51 am
by Maria Jaffe

I’ve always wondered how the singers on the show choose their hit american idol songs for their hit American idol tryouts. I mean we do understand that the songs have to be hits and arranged well and they have to sound at least a little similar to the originals but what makes these American idol songs so popular at american idol tryouts.

The rule is that the American idol tryouts are open to all singers and they are free to choose songs that are the right one for themselves. But alternatively, on the show organizers have a ready list with them which they give the contestants to help them choose a song. The catch is that singers have to keep the song as original as possible but still add their own unique singing skills to this.

Till now I was not really aware that the show had guidelines. The public thought that each contestant had several song guides that taught the contestants how to sing their songs. But the show has specific guidelines with American idol songs that will keep the public interested at american idol tryouts while still keeping the standard of the show.

No one really has the specific guidelines with them. But previous contestants have stated that there are guidelines that the show organizers give the contestants at the start of every episode to ensure that no one is singing the same song or a different style in the same episode.

The number of songs varies from show to show with contestants having to choose from 10 to a hundred different choices to choose from. The main rule however is that no one can pick up international hits form world famous singers like Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

The show organizers know that although these songs are internatinslly recognized they are much loved in their original version and very few contestants can compare to them. As a result unless the contestant has the vocal range to keep up with Mariah Carey’s singing; they should not pick up her songs.

Show organizers and mentors also guide and listen to the choices made by the singers to ensure that they have the perfect choice for their voices. Extra arrangements, riffs, and vocal arrangements are also added to ensure that the song is unique but is till recognizable.

Contestants are also aware of the fact that the show is ultimately ruled by the public who know simple but exciting tunes. Cross over tunes by popular artistes like males singing female songs is perfectly acceptable so long as the song is done well. But unless you can do it well, you should not do it. Take the example of Antonella Barba who sang the famous “I don’t want to miss a thing” Although she did sing it well, it was no where close to the original and neither did it impress the public.

Its not very difficult to understand; just pick a semi-popular song and stamp your character on it to make it seem your owns stysle.

who got kicked off the American idol show tonight?

Filed under: America Idol — Tags: — Maria Jaffe @ 8:53 am
by Maria Jaffe

If you are one of the choice few who missed the episode of tonight then you must be wondering exactly who lost on American idol tonight. The idea of the show is that every week a single contestant got kicked of the show. No one knew that such a simple show could pull on the heart strings of so many people. The show has managed to be in the top thousands with a lot of people tuning in every week to find out exactly who will get knocked out of the race.

The American idol show has shown of to the entire world that a few talented singers can really get to the top if they are talented enough. And of course the show does have a strict selection process in place that ensures that only the best get ahead. Pervious winners include great singers like Carrie Underwood and several more singers who have gone ahead to be the best in the singing profession. Its no use wondering who lost on American idol tonight or who got kicked off American idol tonight, the results are out every week.

The feud between the host and the judge Simon Cowell has hit the headlines several times with both of them sniping restlessly at each other about clothes and comments. But that should not affect the outcome of who lost on American idol tonight. Sometimes even the contestants have to wonder about who got kicked off the American idol tonight and if they are safe.

A few of the more popular choices include Alexis Grace who was voted out this time round. There was a faint hope that the judges would save her with their failsafe. But Simon announced that it was not possible and she was eliminated. A few more controversies that popped up included the accusation that Paula Abdul one of the judges was personally training the contestant to win the show in return for personal favors. But the show must go on and that accusation came to an end

Singer Sanjaya was publicly panned for his substandard singing skills but he was popular with the crowds so much that they retained him even after being disparaged at every sing-off. The singing sensation went on to make his own album and that was a huge hit. But still this is not a single occurrence. Almost every singing sensation that makes it to the semi final also becomes a popular singing star.

For people who have not managed to keep track of the show, there are several live blogs on which keep a track of the entire show and the contestant. The last contestant will be feted and yesteryear stars like Carrie Underwood will also be back for surprise performances.

There are also several performances by previous finalists who were popular but got voted out. No matter what happens you have to remember that even though several contestants are voted out almost all of them are equally good and talented and they do get ahead to promising careers in their singing life.

Let’s wait and watch for the new winner of 2009.
