END OF THE WEEK:
It's 1 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon here in Chicago, and the Bears are set to play in the NFC Championship game any moment. Therefore, I sincerely apologize if this post feels like its been rushed because it is. Now, let's get straight to it! As always, here are my votes for some of week's best and most memorable people, stories and moments:
Break-up of the Week: MSNBC and Keith Olbermann
The two sides mutually agreed to have Olbermann opt out of his contract with two years left effective immediately this week, with his last show taking place on Friday night. It might have something to do with his suspension late last year and when he started to stop doing Worst Persons, or it could've been because the folks at Comcast didn't really care for him. Whatever the reason was behind the separation of the two sides, it will be sad to hear more quietness at the 7 p.m. hour in the cable news world.
Video of the Week: "Girl Falls Into Fountain While Texting at the Berkshire Mall"
Well, at least she wasn't driving...
Stories of the Week:
- The Actual Story of the Week: Obama's State Dinner With Chinese President Hu Jintao
Rush Limbaugh enjoyed it most of all.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: More Than 100 US Members Arrested in Largest Crime Raid in FBI History
Really amazing story. However, if this raid means that my beloved New York Del Posto linguini with clams will decrease in production, then I'm going to be so pissed.
Casting of the Week: Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises
Nothing to complain about this one, except for the fact that she doesn't seem to be as dangerous of a character that Catwoman is portrayed to be. But that's just being too nitpicky. If he unleashes the same anxiety that she did during her Academy Award nominated performance in Rachel Gettin Married, then she will be just fine.
Person of the Week: Ricky Gervais
for just being plain awesome, as he was during his hosting gig at last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. During the promos for the awards telecast, Gervais promised to make fun of the spoiled celebrities at the telecast, and on Sunday night, he didn't disappoint. From Charlie Sheen to Tim Allen to even Robert Downey Jr., Gervais wasn't afraid to gout out and make fun of as many people as possible, taking making the show a very entertaining television event in the process. I said it Monday and I will say it again today: this man should host every major awards show on the planet, period.
And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and go Bears!
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
