Beware False Idols…
So, this time around, I’ve watched more episodes of American Idol than ever before. I don’t know if I’d say that I’m hooked, but I am interested to see the result.
But everytime I watch that show I get riled up, and it’s all because of this Ryan Seacrest character. What a chute-pakora that guy is. What’s his problem? I’ve never met him, but I can’t stand him. I hate him to the core of my being. Who ever thought that he was a good choice? He’s terrible. Every single show it’s the same jokes (if you can call them that). He insults Simon in the lamest way possible, and when Simon cuts him back with his acid tongue, he says something like, “Oh real mature Simon.” God, the guy drives me to distraction. Ok, yeah, Simon and Paula are in love, really funny. Give it up. And someone told me that he got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What! Do they give those things out like candy at a parade these days? Do you stop at Hollywood and Vine and some guy puts a flyer under your windshield wiper that says, “Your name on the walk of fame, just $2.50, please print clearly”? I just really hope that’s not true. I hope he just painted a star on the sidewalk in front of his mom’s house.
If Ryan Seacrest were in the same room as I am right now, I’d be mad that he was using a share of my oxygen. And I just know he’d be reading over my shoulder, breathing in my ear, and saying something like, “Writin’ the blog are ya Dave? People read it last week, but are they going to do the same this week? We’ll find out, after the break.” Then I would snap… lose it, and punch him directly in the teeth. Then I’d hit him with a flurry to the solar-plexus until he doubled up, then another upper-cut to the jaw. Then, while he writhed on the floor, I would go put my shoes on so I could come back and kick him in the stomach a few times. Then I would prod his motionless form with a stick for a minute and say, “Seacrest… Out.”
God I hate that guy.
Yes, Seacrest did indeed get a star on the HWoF.
The guy may be a bit of a simp and young but he met all of the requirements to get a star (time worked in Hollywood, body of work, got through the nominating panel, paid his $15,000).
At least he’s a known entity with a decent background. There are some VERY obscure people on the HWoF which would make you wonder how they got a star. I think there’s one guy who was in one movie that no one remembers…and *he* got a star. (IIRC Roy Rogers has 4)
hee, hee, hee, hee!
Another bad thing about Searcrest is that he has replace Casey Kasem on American Top Forty! What is AM Top 40 with out Casey Kasem?
Casey, apparently, wanted to cut back on his work load (the guy is like 170) and hand picked RS to take over AT40.
Casey still does AT20.
Yeah I know, but they don’t play AT20 on the radio here. All I get is Ryan Seacrest and AT40.
We used to get both AT40 and AT20…I think K100 has AT20 and 97.3 has AT40. I try to avoid both at any cost.
And now…our long distance dedication….
so much anger dave! i love it!
