It’s Wednesday. Paula Abdul is performing on the Idol Stage. Hilarious. Pyrotecnics were involved.
Speaking of American Idol, a stage manager fell on the stage yesterday. She’s okay but needed some stitches.
Guess who’s a lot older than he looks? MTV Correspondent Kurt Loder. The original MTV News guy turned 64 yesterday. Shocking!
Kiefer Sutherland headbutted a [...]

MTV is finally premiering a little show called College Life tonight. Four college freshmen were given handicams and told to document the happenings of their freshman year. Normally, a show like this wouldn’t warrant a write-up on this blog, but this is a special case…these kids attend the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
I graduated from [...]

TRL ended its 10-year run last night with a star-studded finale.
The state of music videos today is a little depressing but that wasn’t always the case. I used to watch TRL everyday usually while talking on the phone with the my other tweeny friends. We’d gush and gab over the latest NSYNC video and imagine [...]

Post-Election Day High Edition! Let’s keep it short.
Sad news first: Michael Crichton, blockbluster author of books like Jurassic Park, and The Andromeda Strain lost his battle with cancer today at the age of 66. Crichton contributed to television as the creator of ER. He based the series off of his own experience as a medical [...]

Seriously.
MTV launched a new web portal MTV Music this week. The site houses over 25,000 music videos for you to watch whenever you want.
However, even with that many clips, I took a shot and typed in some of the videos I wanted to see…and they weren’t available. Not too surprising. I guess my taste for [...]

The last vestige of anything remotely positive on MTV is the show True Life. If you’re not familiar, True Life follows young people with out of the ordinary lives.
For the past decade I’ve been a bit enamored with the program and have seen nearly every installment. There’s something about watching actual people cope with a [...]

Last week, Gawker posted this handy spectrum of the most Liberal and Conservative shows on television. I thought it raised some interesting questions based on some curious assumptions.
30 Rock is arguably the most liberal show on television, there’s no disputing that. If there were any doubt, take another look at the liberal-tastic episode, “Hardball,” and [...]

Kanye West premiered the video for his latest single, Love Lockdown, on Ellen.
Britney Spears is premiering the video for her new single, Womanizer, on 20/20 this Friday.
MTV is getting rid of TRL next month.
It’s official; the M no longer stands for music.
We’ll always have the good times…and the hilarious parodies of the [...]

Total Request Live, once a popular mainstay on MTV (and the final place to watch videos on the network) will end its 10-year run in November.
The show peaked in the late ’90s with SoCal DJ turned lucky bastard Carson Daly at the helm. Since then the show’s had a string of hosts, crappy guests, spectacles, [...]

Hey peeps. Lots to write about and just when I think I don’t have time to do it all, I remember my dear old friend Hump Day Update.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire got a serious makeover for its season premiere this week. There’s a time limit on the questions, new crazy life lines, and [...]
