a thorn in my side

I know this post is about a week later than I expected but oh well, deal with it. No one reads this drivel anyway.

I was watching the season finale of American Idol (I’m a sucker- don’t shoot me) and all I kept thinking was “What the hell is this?!” It’s clear that Fox has an outrageously overstuffed wallet and those are the guests they get? Give me a break. I didn’t even recognize half of the guest performers who I can’t mention because I still don’t know who they are. But, there is one performer who came out to sing with Lee that stuck out to me. Not because it was particularly shocking to see him on my television or on American Idol but because it seems I can’t turn on my TV WITHOUT seeing him. This man is the one and only Bret Michaels.

What reality show doesn’t that guy led his bandanna-clad face to? I mean he was just the winner of the Apprentice and was all over the news because of his recent surgery. But I really wanted to say, “Hey Bret, you can’t actually win this show because you’re just a guest but if you’re lucky maybe you can bang one of the chicks wearing hooker make-up. Isn’t that why you’re famous?”

But if playing house with a bunch of washed up haggy looking strippers and playing nice in front of The Don wasn’t enough, he’s got another new show called “Bret Michaels Life as I Know It.” This is the intimate portrayal of Bret with his girlfriend and son. Seriously though, who cares? Unless there are a gaggle of angry white trash women pulling out each other’s weaves, I’m not watching it. Well, I’d probably skip it either way but at least that former gave you the queen of hot tranny messes, Daisy. What’s this show going to give us? A look into the life of a guy who used to be a famous rock star but instead of selling out arenas he’s showing everyone watching from their comfy couches at home that it’s cool for 47 year old dudes to rock a head scarf and man-liner? NO THANK YOU.

He actually seems like a very nice individual from what I have gathered from all of these aforementioned appearances which is probably why people want to see more of him. But this is just one of the many problems with people in general and that my friends, is going to have to be left for another post.


Ps. Goodbye Simon. You were the only viable judge on that show and now it must die. Please don’t keep your man boobs and perfectly quaffed hair far for too long.
