Wipeout FTW!


Now that "LOST" is over I've pretty much given up on television except on Tuesday's and Thursday's at 8 p.m. EST when "Wipeout" comes on. This show is beyond awesome! It reminds me of "Wild N Crazy Kidz," that game show that used to come on Nickelodeon back in the 90's. I love how anyone can be on the show. It doesn't matter what you look like, how old you are, what your occupation is, etc.



"Wipeout" is actually casting for season four and I'm applying as I'm writing this. Not simultaneously of course. I'd probably be the second to last worst contestant, but whatever it's all for fun. If anyone else is interested in applying for the show visit the Website for Mystic Art Pictures. Wish me luck!

"MIB" Says No LOST Movie

TMZ recently caught up with Titus Welliver, the actor who plays the man in black (MIB) on "LOST," and chatted with him a bit about the show. While Welliver didn't reveal anything big about the shows ending, because that would obviously lead to legal issues, he did clear up the rumors about alternate endings and a "LOST" movie. And it looks like both aren't true, there won't be a "LOST" movie and to his knowledge there weren't any alternate endings filmed for the series finale.

All in all, Welliver seemed like a pretty cool dude in the video (totally unlike his character) so be sure to check it out. And wooooooooah at tonight's episode being the last before the series finale! Crazy I tell ya! Can't wait!

Bring Back Def Poetry Jam!


MTV, BET, VH1, and the rest of ya'll...how about bringing back a decent show to television rather than one of your BS reality shows? Bold, I know...

In my opinion, "Def Poetry Jam" was one of the best television shows I've ever watched. Just seeing the performers so passionate about their words was amazing. Thankfully, I happen to have lived in places where I can check out spoken word almost any day of the week, but for the most part "Def Poetry Jam" was introducing people to a world that was completely new to them.

I don't know why exactly the show ended. Maybe HBO didn't like how the ratings were looking or maybe Russell Simmons felt we'd be better entertained by Global Grind blogs written by Tila Tequila and Ashley Dupre...who knows. All I know is this is one show I'd absolutely love to see back on the air because the nonsense on television right now makes no damn sense. Apparently quality is something viewer's care nothing about these days.

Check out some of my favorite videos from "Def Poetry Jam."

Taking The Music Out Of "MTV"


Late last week, it was announced that MTV would be canceling its show "It's On With Alexa Chung" after just two seasons of the celebrity talk show. Alexa Chung's show served as the replacement to the canceled "Total Request Live" and featured a number of interviews and music performances from a range of artists. Aside from music videos that air either really late at night or super early in the morning MTV has become quite the music-less channel. With the cancellation of "It's On With Alexa Chung" being the latest blow.

"It's On With Alexa Chung" wasn't a bad show, sure a lot of people may not have been huge fans of Alexa Chung and her somewhat irritating accent and quirky personality, but it was a decent show. We got to check out sit-down interviews with artists like Kid Cudi, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Drake, and much more on top of the occasional performance. The cancellation of "It's On With Alexa Chung" is going to create a huge void for MTV. Not that they probably care or anything.

I'm not really sure what MTV plans on replacing "It's On With Alexa Chung" with, but if it's re-runs of a new reality dating show then I am through, beyond through, infinite throughness! Because if that's the case MTV really needs to think about changing its name because Music Television is hella misleading.
