American Idol Season 12 Promo Videos

American Idol Season 12 will be a hard-sell for me this time around. After what happened to sensational Jessica Sanchez last season, I became jaded – A LOT!

Maybe it wasn’t just me! That’s why American Idol is doing everything it can to promote the new season, with introduction of new judges and featuring more inspiring stories of auditoners.

Honestly, the promo videos looks more like X Factor promo videos. Take a look at the following promo videos.

SAG (19th Annual Screen Actors Guild) Award Nominees (Full List) 12.12.12

silver-linings-playbook-bradley-cooper

What I love about the nomination part of any type of awards is the surprise of it all.  We all love Bradley Cooper (I know I do!) because he is a brilliant actor and a gorgeous-looking man.  But to be nominated for his craft surely is an icing on his cake.  With the success of his Hangover series (another one is in the making – The Final Hangover), and good fortune in the past few years – I’m sure that this is the icing on his cake as well.

And since I am a big fan of Downton Abbey, having Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery nominated thrilled me as well.

So, here’s the list!

America’s Got Talent contestant Timothy Poe a FRAUD?

It’s okay to tell a white lie once in a while. I think many of us have done so to protect someone from being hurt or to help someone build their confidence and so forth. But, to lie about something for self-promotion and receive pity-votes is just wrong.

AGT contestant Tim Poe have just been outed by TMZ. His 14-years of military service in Afghanistan is untrue. The segment on America’s Got Talent video showed a photo of a soldier who really isn’t Timothy Poe. The real guy on the photo is Staff Sgt. Norman Bone who was taken aback when he found out that his photo was used by this guy with a made-up story.

You can watch the video below – and I’m telling you, if this video was authentic, I would say that this guy has a chance in getting a record deal. But now that we are told that the whole story was made-up – would you support someone like him? I think he disrespected the men and women in the military who offered their lives for the service of this country. It’s a shame.

Oprah’s Next Chapter to feature Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka – Airs June 3 on OWN

They can say whatever they want about OWN. There are rumors about low viewership, loss of revenue and all but I will always watch Oprah. It’s the positive vibe that I get from her that keeps me watching. I always tend to look at my life and think of how I can make it better not just for me but for everyone around me as well.

Oprah’s support of the LGBT community and human rights is enough for me to continue my undying support for her and her shows.

Coming on June 3rd, Oprah’s Next Chapter will feature the now-openly-gay Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka when she visits the couple in their home.
