I WANNA Be on AMERICAN IDOL............NOT!!!!!!
Some people would look at "American Idol" and think that it was the living and breathing personification of the American Dream?
People with nothing to lose getting the chance to be worldwide superstars in a once in a lifetime chance at fame and fortune!
Only in America....right?
But somehow I just don't see it as a great testimony to hope and dream about trying to make it on that show? My thoughts lead me to think that it shows sometimes how desperate we have become to try and make it in this world just like spending hundreds of dollars trying in a desperate hopeless attempt to win the lottery!!
Is trying to become an instant celebrity our new religion? People these days don't strive anymore to be the smartest, the most honest person or the hardest working person on your job? You want to be famous!!!
It is essentially those people who want a chance to be somebody...anybody?
It is America that has taught us that being a celebrity is really the only thing that counts in this world? Maybe even the only time one can really be famous in their lives?
Also it's no wonder that so many folks become devastated after missing their chance not to be on tv, but to become somebody for once in their lives?
Then we as the viewing public become so freaking happy and excited in their process living vicariously through them walking on eggshells each and every show wondering if our so-called star is gonna make the cut for next week like some soap opera we've been watching all of our lives!
It was not even a generation ago that I can remember growing up men & women were happy if they just achieved more than what their parents di in their lives?
If they went to college, obtained a good paying job and started a family then that my friends was success!
If you go to any elementary school in the country today and ask any child what do they want to be when they grow up...you would get the standard responses such as being a doctor-lawyer or police person-fire person but in this day and age we live in now you may find them telling you that they want to become an entertainer-athlete and then ask them the reason why they stated that and you you will get the answer of not really knowing why they said that?
Go figure I suppose but that is probably based on what kids today see on tv with the music industry and larger than life contracts where athletes make an insane amount of money!
So just take the easy way out and bypass actually doing some hard honest living work and just go to freaking Hollywood!!!

Bottom line for me..."American Idol" is highly over-rated. As is "America's Top Model", AND...."The Apprentice".

If You Ever Wondered What Was Really Under RHOA's Kim Zolciak's Wig....
Kim Zolciak debuted her real hair on last night's episode of "Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding." Check out what the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has been hiding under all that blonde wiggery inside...
Kim doesn't let anyone see her real hair and has proclaimed to never stop wearing wigs. Her own stylist, Derek J, hasn't even seen her real hair in over a year. So on last night's episode of "DBTFTW," she got balls to make the big reveal to Derek, her assistant and the rest of the world.
While trying to determine how she would style her hair for her upcoming wedding to Kroy, she decided to throw off the wig for a few minutes to show folks what she's been hiding. Maybe it was the flu she had just come down with that caused the change up too.
And we must say, chick may want to rethink wearing these wigs because the real hair suits her best:
From this, to this:
Hopefully she tosses these wigs for good.
Check out a clip from last night below:
ON THE SET: Rihanna & Her Short-Shorts Film "The End Of The World" In New Orleans
She's back on a movie set! With her major debut movie Battlefield still in theaters, Rihanna jetted to New Orleans this week to shoot a brand new comedy called The End of the World (formerly called The Apocalypse). And we've got pics of the hot bodied chick on the set rocking her fave look--the shortest shorts in her suitcase and a revealing crocheted top. Pics inside...
The flick is starring funny folks Seth Rogen (who also wrote and is directing), Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari & Harry Potter's Emma Watson.
IMDB reports the plot as:
While attending a party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse.
In the scene being shot above, Rihanna and Emma Watson are running out of co-star James Franco's house party because suddenly, of course, the end of the world happens. All the co-stars are funny as hell, and reportedly they are all playing themselves, so this should be a good look for Rih. And it sounds like Kevin Hart drops by for a cameo as well as Rih tweeted a couple hours ago:
Just leaving set! Kevin Hart clearly has childhood issues! Lolololol ! This has to be one of my favorite moments in life #endoftheworld
The film is set for a June 14th, 2013 release.

SPOTTED: Nas OUT & ABOUT In West Hollywood
Nasty Nas is in L.A. wrapping up his upcoming Life Is Good album (dropping 7/17). And he was spotted out and about in West Hollywood yesterday with Capricorn Clark--Bad Boy's Marketing Exec. We're not sure what's going on there--but we're sure they'll maintain they're friends and/or just working together. Pics inside...
After grabbing lunch in his bright green Adidas track suit and Jordans, Nas hit the streets of West Hollywood to likely head to the studio:
It's been a big week for the sexy Mr. Jones as he dropped his brand new "Daughters" video featuring his own little girl Destiny. And he just revealed that he will be unveiling his brand new website and upcoming tour dates tomorrow.
About the meaning of his new album's Life Is Good title, Nas told Complex magazine this month it's all about getting to a point where you master your own life, and not letting thieves and money bring you down:
I never liked dealing with money. It comes between real shit. Friendship, loyalty, and love is the real shit. Money is the other shit. I have one way of dealing with money, and then you have educated people, who know how to deal with money, and we have conflicts there. It’s like in the movie Wall Street, my man Gekko says, “Pay attention. Money’s a jealous bitch. Either you’re going to pay attention to her, or she’ll find someone else that will.” And mine has definitely found other people who appreciate her more. [Laughs.] I’ve neglected her and abused her. I let a person take her from me—and I don’t mean my ex-wife, I mean some bad business from, like, six years ago that’s affecting me now. And I take responsibility for it, because it’s my problem. But I still see that as something I have to fix, because if you don’t fix money, it’ll fix your ass.
