Another post-Katrina drama? I only pray that they find people to work on the show that actually know New Orleans this time around, because K-Ville was terrible.
1I wonder how many albums Mizz Keys has sold because I swear she's been at or near the top of the charts for a while...
2Yay for Jaden Smith!
and Juno, it needs to be #1 on those charts. Go Juno go!
As for that American Idol... the TV was being moved around last night and so I missed an hour of The Biggest Loser. I was in no mood to watch AI, but I forced myself to watch during a commercial break. There was this weird girl who was obsessed with Star Wars. And I'm not watching tonight either. My mom and I are watching Wife Swap and Supernanny
