The American Idol David Cook
I really hate to say I told you so, but I predicted this year's American Idol winner a longggggg time ago. Not only did I know Cook would win, I also pegged the top three this year. You can read all about that here...In fact, in the last four seasons, I have predicted three winners (Carrie Underwear, Jordin Sparks & Cook) and a runner up (Katharine McPhee). If it wasn't for that Soul Patrol putz, I would be perfect. So in the future, if you are looking for expert commentary on AI, look no further than yours truly. And if there is a talent agency out there or a record company who would like to hire me as a talent scout, gimme a shout out via my email.

And the two hour finale wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be. There were times when I turned the channel like the Jonas Brothers, awful audition moron Renaldo Lapuz's 'performance', Sayesha singing with Seal, Jason Castro massacring Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, but overall I think that they did a good job. Here are some random thoughts:

• It was good to see Kristi Lee Cook again. Either I forgot how pretty she was or somehow she got hotter. She has a pretty good voice and if Kelly Pickler can be a country star, I see Cook becoming even bigger than her.
• Cook sounded great with ZZ Top singing 'Sharp Dressed Man'. I forgot how much that song rocked. I was thinking that if he sang this song in the finale instead of that Collective Soul crap, he would have been in better shape. It was amazing to me to see Cook with such poise while playing the guitar along side rock legends Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill.
• Last year's winner Jordin Sparks came out and sang a new song. She sounds and looks great.
• The Brian Adams medlet was cool. Adams has a truly amazing catalog of hit songs.
• Archuleta sounded good dueting with One Republic on that infectious 'Too Late' song that plays 5 times an hour on my FM dial. This is the kind of music that he could actually record and be successful.
• I'm not a fan of Brooke White but her duet with rock legend Graham Nash (minus Crosy & Stills), sounded really good.
• Being a child of the 80's, my favorite moment was the George Michael medley performed by the Top 12. Then for Michael to come out and sing 'Praying For Time' was a touching moment. It even brought tears to the mentally unstable Paula Abdul.

Damn I love this show. Too bad we all have to wait until January 2009 for our fix!

Jackie from Work Out
Jackie, the owner of Sky Sports and star of Bravo's 'Work Out' has exposed as a liar and total hyprocrite in the past couple weeks! Last season, along with the rest of the viewers of this show thought that her girlfriend was a psycho, when all along, it was Jackie who is a pathological liar, creating the monster in that poor chick. In that same season, Jackie went on a 'work trip' with the dudes and hotties from the gym. They partied and I can only imagine what happened behind the scenes. When Jackie returned, she explained to her girlfriend that it was 'work', she didn't have fun and it was no big deal. Such lies... HAHA.

Incredibly, she did the same thing this season! Her new girlfriend, who moved in the week she met her, seemed a tad suspicious of Jackie when she asked her what went on at the 'lesbian cruise' getaway with her hot female crew. Jackie ended up kissing Rebecca & Renessa, but Jackie once again explained that it was just a 'work' trip, lying right to the face of her new gf!

And the situation with Peeler, ugh... Sure Peeler is annoying but all the wanted was an apology for saying that his client had ugly breast implants (it turned out that she had breast cancer). Jackie always talks about professionalism, but what kind of owner of a business would sit in her office, snickering and insulting a client? Even worse, she knew she was on TV! If she was never busted by the client's boyfriend, there was still a chance the incident would make it onto an episode. Who wants to go to a gym where you are looked at and made fun of behind your back?

2008 ACM Awards
I hate most if not all country music but there was absolutely nothing on last Sunday night and quite frankly nothing could have dragged me away from this train wreck. The collection of hotties at this event was OFF THE HOOK! Other than the abundance of hot gash, here are some some observations on the evening:

• All of the newer country artists are also metro-sexuals.
• Most male country artists are going through a mid-life crisis which is evident in most songs I heard that night.
• The country singers I watched perform couldn't actually sing. I'm talking about Trace Atkins, Rascal Flatts, Kelly Pickler, Leann Rimes etc.. If there was a performer that night who has a good voice I must have missed it.
• And speaking of Garth... I like a couple of his old songs, but now he is waaaaay over the hill. His hair is gray, he has packed on about 30 pounds and his voice isn't the same.
• Country songs are written by and written for simpletons. God, listen to the lyrics of most of the popular country songs out right now.
