People's Choice Awards

The nominees for the 34th People's Choice Awards were announced today. The Guru has already voted on all of her favs and if you would like to do the same, you can do so here. Also, enjoy some of the pictures taken at the Announcement Ceremony.

Scott Foley, Paula Abdul (not crying while simultaneously laughing like a hyena for once), A.J. Cook (I'm sorry... Who?), and my BFF Ryan Seacrest.

New Skank on the Block (NSotB, as I like to call her), Kim Kardashian made an appearance at the event. I'm not really sure why she was there. Unless "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has become a runaway hit. Preteens dancing on stripper poles... Not so sure the people would choose something like that.

Skankalicious Mom-ager Kris Jenner, Kim's mom/manager, was also on hand for the event. Again, why?

And the Emmy goes to...

Pop Guru for being AWESOME! Thank you, thank you. It's an honor to even be nominated.

And thank you, Ryan Seacrest, for lifting your leg to the Emmys and soiling upon the legacy that has been so gloriously created by comedic greats like Conan O'Brien and Johnny Carson. Stick to radio. You sucked. I like how awkward you made things when you would tell a joke about a person and then ask, "Why are you so pissed?" We are pissed because you exist and insist upon taking over every second of our television and radio entertainment, Seacrest.

Congrats to 30 Rock on the Outstanding Comedy Series win! The whole event though was lacking in any kind of excitement. I was bored. And if I was bored, then I know all of you were miserable. How many awards can there be for a miniseries or made-for-TV movie? Geez! To see the full list of winners, go here.

Hello again!

After a very exhausting weekend, I'm back to Blogger mode! It's going to be a very busy week, but I'll do my best to get you celebrity news as much as possible.

- I'm going to the Tribeca Film Festival this week, because I'm awesome like that. Just like every other New Yorker. But for those of you who can't make it to the Big Apple, you can watch five of the short films showing at Tribeca here. I'm going to see Gardener of Eden starring Lukas Haas and directed by Kevin Connelly, aka E on "Entourage", Purple Violets with Selma Blair and directed by Edward Burns, and I'm also attending a panel called "FAME!: I'm Gonna Live Forever" about how people can be successful at being famous. The last one was too appropriate for me not to go. I'll let you know what the experience is like.

- Ellen Degeneres has thrown out her back and will be doing her shows from her hospital bed on set this week. My two favorites, Lindsay Lohan and Ryan Seacrest, will be stopping by during visiting hours.

- Debra Opri, the ex-lawyer for Larry Birkhead, will be teaming with Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff in her battle against hubby David Hasselhoff, aka Mitch Buchanan from "Baywatch". The former couple have basically told the world they hate each other, so this could get interesting.

- Damn it. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, or as I like to call her "that annoying bitch who cries too much on 'The View'", announced she is pregnant. Fan-freaking-tastic. Now we're going to have this forced on us for the next six months until she pops out the kid and takes her maternity leave.

- Speaking of "The View", the battle to replace Rosie has begun. And the top contender... Rosie! As in Roseanne Barr! This is so exciting! Although Roseanne claims she has yet to be approached, I'm begging ABC to make this happen. The other front-runners are Whoopi Goldberg, Connie Chung, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Joan Rivers, all of whom I don't think could be funny enough or stir up enough controversy to keep the dying show on the air. Connie Chung doesn't deserve the spot simply because of this terrible display from the last time someone pointed a camera at her...

- I don't how this is possible, but "Dirt" might be coming back for a second season.

- Looks like "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" is coming back May 24 after a three month hiatus. I really like this show, so I'm excited about this. Although I think it might be on life support.

- Poor New York was dumped by Tango and she's coming back for round two of "I Love New York", which means I am on the edge of my seat until the show comes back. She's having an open casting call if any of you are interested, which I'm sure you are.

- Britney Spears was pulled over for speeding on Friday night. She was slapped on the wrist with a warning and sent on her way. But I have a bigger bone to pick with the cue ball herself. I have to take back this outfit now that you wore it first. Thanks a lot, Brit.

Funjaya Rant

What the crap is up with this kid Sanjaya? Is anyone else sick of hearing about him and/or looking at what hairdo he has this week? You all know my strong distaste for "American Idol"... Yes, even the auditions. "American Idol" to me is kind of like baseball season. I dread it before the start, it seems to last eons, and I couldn't care less about which team wins the World Series. But for some reason, I am bombarded with constant news coverage about the subject. To which I then have to shake my head in unison with my friends, not knowing whether I'm agreeing or disagreeing because I am exhausted from constantly explaining how much I detest the subject.

Every time I have turned on a TV or a computer lately (which is a lot), I see news headlines about Sanjaya. "Why is Sanjaya still on 'American Idol'? Vote in our poll." "What is your favorite Sanjaya hairstyle? Text 1 for Road Runner to 51414." Even Natalie Morales did a whole segment about it this morning on "The Today Show". You've got to be kidding me. I have to be bothered with this before my morning coffee? This kid, who no one seems to acknowledge the fact that he's a little light in the loafers, is getting all this credit for innovative hairstyles when he obviously has a stylist put together these looks for him. But I guess if I was his stylist I wouldn't want credit for that hair either. And not that I have watched the show to know, but like I said, I have to see constant clips of him on E! News... This kid can't sing worth a crap. Yet he's getting praised for his ability to connect with twelve year old girls. Just because one girl breaks down into tears does not mean you are a good singer, Sanjaya.

Everyone keeps wondering how Sanjaya with no singing ability can stick around the competition for so long. Are you people idiots? Does no one realize that the voting is fixed? While you're calling in nine billion times next Tuesday night, I hope you know you are wasting your time. To even think that your vote matters is to think that your vote actually counts in the presidential election. The producers are keeping him around because the press is having a field day with it, thus encouraging more people to watch.

Moral of the story, I'm so sick of hearing about this kid and "American Idol". I abhor Ryan Seacrest and I can't believe they allow a truly unstable Paula Abdul on live television multiple times a week with young children watching. They're just asking for something inappropriate to happen. Yet week after week, more people tune in. Then I have to come to work with people asking, "Did you see Sanjaya last night?" No. No, I didn't. The answer will always be a firm "no". But for some reason, I keep turning it to E! at 7PM basically handing Ryan Seacrest his paycheck while he forces me to watch clips of Simon being an ass or Sanjaya making an ass of himself. Damn you, Seacrest. Damn you.
