END OF THE WEEK:
Hello, again! I hope that you have enjoyed your weekend so far. Now, let's get right down to business. With a new week passing like this one brings a new slate of interesting stories and memorable moments (good or bad) to remember it by. Here are my choices for those types of occurrences of this, the twelve week of the 2011 calendar:
Death of the Week: Elizabeth Taylor
Winner of two Academy Awards for her performances in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "BUtterfield 8" as well as a sensation among media tabloids for her intriguing and scandalous personal life before her death this past Wednesday, Taylor was one of the few remaining great actresses of Hollwyood's "golden age," and definitely one of the most gorgeous women to ever grace herself as the leading actress in a motion picture. She will be missed.
"Friday" Parody of the Week: The Cover by Matt Mulholland
Who knew that such a horrible and incredibly generic pop song could become such a comedic goldmine!
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: US Fighter Jet Crashes During Libya Mission
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Chris Brown Has Meltdown on 'Good Morning America' After Question About the Rihanna Incident
I wonder if police had to register the set of Brown's new girlfriend.
Video of the Week: "Crazy Announcer Calls Craziest End to Basketball Game"
This video, along with the FIFA World Cup games on Univision and Telemundo, just further prove my theory: that Spanish announcers are like the international Gus Johnson.
Strange Twist of the Week: The writer of Elizabeth Taylor's obituary on The New York Times died six years ago. Now, that's someone who is dedicated to his job!
Person of the Week: Chris Brown
for reminding most of America (particularly American women) just why they have hated him for the past 25 months. For starters, it's one thing to throw a violent tantrum on a nationwide morning TV program, and it's another to do it at a time when you're trying to prove to the world that you're cutting down on the violent and immature behavior that made you the world's most hated man after beating Rihanna following the 2009 Grammys. Newsflash: incidents like these aren't good publicity. Second, it kind of ruins the point of saying that you're past that Rihanna incident when, a few minutes after he stated it during the interview, he went on the stage-smashing, shirt ripping tirade that has been all over the tabloids this week.
I would kind of compare Brown in a way to Michael Vick. Both were arrested for crimes that are deemed socially unacceptable and both were hated for it. The difference, of course, is that, unlike Brown, Vick has admitted his mistakes and has made an effort to improve his image. Since February of '09, besides going to anger management classes, Brown has treated is as no big deal at all and just a little slip on his road in stardom. Man, he's an asshole! He's like Charlie Sheen, only without the crazy cocaine-fused media interviews, quotable moments and pornstar "goddesses."
And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
Sincerely,
