'X Factor USA' Will Air on ABS-CBN

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 02:10 AM PDT



It's Bootcamp time on 'X Factor USA' next week, the 3rd level of the show after Producers' Auditions (off cam) & the Judges' Auditions. Guess what? ABS-CBN will air this show, though they bought the franchise rights of 'The Voice' which will air next year.

This show has 10-12 Million viewers since the openinh telecast last week but 'American Idol 10' still the No. 1 show in the US for 2011 with 22-29M viewers. The 1st episode of 'X Factor' had 12M viewers, 7.2% Ratings, 12% Share, 4.4/12 from ages 18-49. Not so good results for a much-awaited show but still (super) higher than the 1st season of 'American Idol'. Both shows air on FOX.

On October 12, Judges' Houses are going to start. The Judges are also the Mentors. Each judge will pick Top 6 from his/her group (Total: 24) and thet will reveal it on Oct. 25.

The Live Shows will start on Nov. 2 and the season finale will be on Dec. 21 & 22.

Expect Rihanna, Winning Judge & more. Join Simon, LA, Nicole, Paula and Presentor (UK Term) Steve Jones in the coming months on the 'X Factor'.

Five on Friday Set 88


Next week I'll be decorating for Halloween at my new office cube.  I've got a great canvas with the two windows behind me, including the ledge.  I'm looking forward to it.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Set 88. 

I'm so tired from quarter end that I'm getting goofy.

What?

Stop laughing!

I am NOT goofy anyway!  I'm silly.  There's a difference.

Wait...now you distracted me.  

Oh never mind.  It's late.  Or, it was late when I put this Set together. 

Wait...now I'm confuzzled! 

I'm tired.  I have to get up early.  No, it's Friday when you're reading this.  I got up early today.  But I got up early yesterday too.

Wait...

I guess it's settled then...I'm goofy.

You can probably figure this out about Set 88.  Yes, the central theme is water.  But the deeper meaning is the impact the element can have on a life.

Have a great weekend!

100 Reasons to Blog for Peace


Actor Betty Buckley said, "Everything good that I know was taught to me by great teachers and I feel like giving back and sharing the technique is the thing to do."

She was talking about acting, but the sentiment applies to us all as we move through life.  We all learned from someone.  And if we're paying attention, we're open to learning something new every day.  

Reason 35:  I blog for peace because it is both a way to keep learning from others, and a way to share some of what I know.

I believe that words have power, so this matters. 

 

Pie Chart ... Pie!


100 Reasons to Blog for Peace


Reason 36:  Because Share the Land, written by Burton Cummings and Kurt Winter, released in 1970 by The Guess Who

Have you been around
Have you done your share o' comin' down
On different things that people do
Have you been aware
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you in a year from now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now 

Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This mornin' when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
Without losin' track and comin' down a bit too hard
Oh!

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Mmm, maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now 

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
Together, together 

You know I'll be standin' by to help you if you're worried 
No more sadness, no more sorrow, and no more bad times 
Every day comin' sunshine, every day everybody laughin' 
Walkin' together by the river, walkin' together and laughin' 
Everybody singin' together, everybody singin' and laughin' 
Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now 
Walkin', singin', talkin', smilin', laughin', diggin' each other 
Everybody happy together, I'll be there, don't worry, if you're needin' me 
Call on me, call on me, call my name, I'll be runnin' to help you 
Everybody walkin' by the river now, everybody, everybody laughin' 
Everybody singin' and talkin', smilin', laughin', diggin' each other

Jess Finally Confronts Her Ex About Cheating on Her on ‘New Girl’ (VIDEO)

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:31 AM PDT

Filed under: ,

'New Girl' - 'Kryptonite'While trying to get in good with the new roommate, Winston, Jess got a little over-excited with a basketball and broke the big-screen TV on ‘New Girl’ (Tue., 9PM ET on FOX). This was the perfect opportunity for her to face her demons and confront her ex-boyfriend for cheating on her, and get her stuff back from him — specifically, for the guys, her own big-screen TV.

After her first meeting didn’t go so well — he really does use his charm and hair to take advantage of her — the guys go with her for the second try. And of all things, it’s the sight of the plants dying that gives her the courage to say what she’s been needing to say all along.

Unfortunately, she finally has it out with him while her hands are full of clothes and the television, and in her excitement and newfound power of confrontation, she drops it all. Luckily, the TV still works, but how about the slightly retooled ‘New Girl’?

Sabrina’s Secret Leads to Toilet Envy for Burt and Virginia on ‘Raising Hope’ (VIDEO)

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:31 AM PDT

Filed under: ,

'Raising Hope' - 'Sabrina Has Money'All this time, we thought we knew Sabrina on ‘Raising Hope’ (Tue., 9:30PM ET on FOX). She was a cashier down at the grocery store, so while she seemed more educated and refined than Jimmy, we just chalked it up to a better home experience.

We had no idea, and neither did the Chance family. While working, Burt stumbled upon her family secret. Sabrina comes from money. And not just comfortable living; her father is worth $20 million, as he was more than proud to say.

She apparently shuns him and his excess, not wanting to have money handed to her and instead preferring to earn it. This makes no sense to the Chance family, and even less sense when they discover the symbol of luxury in her father’s house: a $2,000 toilet.

A Fight Threatens the Black Team’s Unity on ‘The Biggest Loser’ (VIDEO)

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:31 AM PDT

Filed under:

'The Biggest Loser: Battle of the Ages' - 'Week Two'The battle of the ages continued in the second week of ‘The Biggest Loser’ (Tue., 8PM ET on NBC), but for the black team, it was a battle brewing from within. Maybe John got started with the alliances and gameplay a little early, but no matter what he was trying to accomplish, he got called out hard for calling Sunny dumb.

To her credit, the schoolteacher took Bob’s advice right away and called a team meeting after their workout to confront John about this so-called alliance and his hurtful words. The black team has been on a tear in this early part of the season, coming in first in every challenge and the first weigh-in. They don’t need emotional baggage tearing them apart.

Model Elisabetta Canalis and her partner Val Chemerkovskiy were sent home in the second week of “Dancing with the Stars.”

After performing their Quickstep on Monday, judge Len Goodman didn’t think the dance was great, but it was better than last week. As did Carrie Ann Inaba, who felt Canalis came back nicely after her first time out on the floor. Watch the performance!

“For me, it was a gift every day staying here, really. It was a great adventure,” Canalis said, offering her thanks to those who voted for the duo.

Chmerkovskiy felt a little more responsible. “I’m sorry. I wish I did better for you,” he told Elisabetta. “But I’m very lucky to be here, and I really appreciate the opportunity.”

Elisabetta and Val were joined in the bottom three by David Arquette and Kym Johnson and Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer

“Dancing with the Stars” returns for Week 3 on Monday!

Cheryl Hines on Mocking, Embracing the Suburbs in ABC’s New Comedy Suburgatory

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:31 AM PDT

Cheryl Hines, Suburgatory  | Photo Credits: Karen Neal/ABC

As Suburgatory’s Dallas, Cheryl Hines is a big-haired, energy drink-chugging, slang-slinging suburban mom straight out of Bravo’s Real Housewives. She just wants the best for her daughter, Dalia, and so she buys her too-short shorts and even tighter tops, all of which stuns city girl Tessa, their new neighbor who, with her single dad, George, just moved into town from Manhattan. It’s through Tessa’s horrified eyes — and uber snarky narration — that viewers are introduced to a version of suburbia ripe for the mocking, where pastel sweatsuits and frozen lattes are still the uniform and meal of choice for moms and every girl in high school is recovering from a nose job.

In the first episode of the ABC comedy (premiering Wednesday at 8:30/7:30c), Dallas offers to help ease Tessa (Jane Levy) into her new life by taking her to the mall where Dallas can help her out of her “lesbian boots” and into “a nice heterosexual dress shoe.”

Idris Elba Talks Luther Season 2

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:31 AM PDT

Idris Elba, Luther  | Photo Credits: BBC

Talking to Idris Elba can be disorienting. No matter how often he references his acclaimed roles as Baltimore drug lord Stringer Bell on The Wire (“That part spoiled me and catapulted me onto the radar,” he says) or Dunder Mifflin big boss Charles Miner on The Office (“I can’t believe I got paid to have so much fun”), it doesn’t jibe with the East London inflection coming out of his mouth. Can this be the same actor?
