RIP James Brown

James Brown, the singer, songwriter, bandleader and dancer who indelibly transformed 20th-century music, died early Christmas morning in Atlanta. He was 73. Only Elvis Presley had more records make the music charts than Mr. Brown . Ninety-four of Mr. Brown's recordings reached the Top 100, and he had more Top 20 singles than any other recording artist.

Grammy Nominations

This years Grammy nominations are for less crappy then they have been in the past few years. Although, one nomination for Justin Timberlake is one too many, he did somehow manage to get 4 nominations.

The most nominations went to Mary J Blidge, with eight nominations in total. Second highest number of nominations (six) went to... The Red Hot Chili Peppers, TrahyPantz's favorite band (would I ever steer you wrong?) for their double disc album Stadium Arcadium. John Mayer received 5 nominations for his newset and most blues influenced album, Continuum. James Blunt got 5 nominations for his way overplayed song You're Beautiful and the album it came off of. How many people did his girlfriend, Petra Nemcova, have to sleep with to get him these undeserving nominations??

Unfortunately, the Black Eyed Peas got one nomination because someone thought My Humps wasn't the worst song in the world. This person should be hung by thier toes and made to listen to Fergalicious over and over and over again.

On the flipside of that, much more deserving artists, with real talent, received nods, like... Tom Petty, The Arctic Monkeys, Death Cab For Cutie, John Legend, Keane, Coldplay, David Gilmour, Gnarls Barkley and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, just to name a few. (By the way, these artists have all been featured on the sidebar at one time or another over the past year!)

The 49th Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 11.

Cowboys-Giants game is highest rated since 1997

Last Sunday's highly anticipated battle for first place in the NFC East between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys delivered first-place ratings for Fox. The game was the highest-rated regular-season NFL game in nearly a decade. The game, which aired just after 4 p.m., scored 27.6 million total viewers and a 17.8 household rating and 32 share, according to numbers from Nielsen Media Research. It was the highest-rated game since 1997's Dec. 15 Monday night battle between the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, which aired on ABC. The game was likely given a shot in the arm from the "Bowl Championship Series Selection Show," which followed immediately after and which announced which schools would be participating in the controversial collegiate championship. That show averaged an 8.4/13 and 13.3 million viewers. Season to date, Fox’s national game average has now jumped ahead of "Grey's Anatomy" as the top-rated show on TV. It’s averaging a 14.3/27, up from last year’s 13.1/24.

So, more people than ever saw the Giants get beat down for the 5th time in a row. Awesome. Can Neilsen create a formula to see how many pissed of Giants fans there are after each Sunday??

"Kramer's" Racist Tirade -- Caught on Tape

Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.

Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.

Poll Results

Poor Bob Barker has had enough of Plinko and has decided to call it quits.
Last weeks poll asked Who should replace Bob Barker on The Price is Right?

Many voted, and we even had a write in vote! Suprisingly, the guy who has the most game show experience, Wink Martindale, got no votes. Neither did the most popular game show host right now, Howie Mandel. The write in vote was a good choice, Donald Trump. I would love seeing the Don give away crappy living room sets. Good times!
Pee Wee Herman came in second place.

The Seven Phases of Owning an iPod - An Illustrated Journey

All iPod owners can relate to this illustrated journey of iPod ownership.
I would add a few things to this story, like...

You quickly learn about the "this battery sucks" phase after only using your new iPod for an hour and half and it dies.

You experience the "automatic update screen phase" where are prompted to download a new version of iTunes every month and notice no differences from the old version.

And of course, the phase of "You can be my wedding DJ" which happens when an iPod-less friend sees your awesome playlist and wants to save a few bucks on his wedding by borrowing your iPod. The upside to this that youdon't have to give them a wedding gift and you still get to drink for free.

Feel free to add your own comments based on your own experiences!

POLL RESULTS

Last weeks poll proved to be the most popular poll in the history of TrashyPantz.
Don't forget the new poll posted this week! Feel free to submit a write in vote in the comments section if you choose 'none of the above.'

I spent some time monitoring the results, which had a surge of votes at the end of the voting period.
COUNTDOWN TO TAMPA: Who will be the first person to get drunk and make an ass out of themselves?

No Name and I were tied for first place at the beginning of the week, and then Bartley crept into the running putting him and I in a tie. Yours truly was given one extra vote to leave Bartley in the dust, and No Name squeezed into the lead later in the week. Kenny, Pete and Jdubb each scored votes in their honor of first to make an ass out of themselves. This move came as a shock due to the fact that Kenny and Jdubb should have received more votes much earlier in the week.

The winner of Last Weeks Tampa Poll is...NO NAME!!

The complete breakdown of the results is below.
Kenny 8%
Pete 8%
Dawn 0%
Roach 0%
Jdubb 8%
Dana 23%

The Best Worst Promo Ever

While flipping channels last night during the commercial breaks of Jeopardy, I was lucky enough to see a promo that aired last night during the CBS broadcast of The Insider. Apparently, the interview of the month is the one that they have with Anna Nicole Smith, who has granted the show her first interview since the birth of her daughter, the death of her son and her marriage to Howard K Stern. The interview is set to air starting Thursday, which means they will drag it out over a few days time.

I really could give a shit about this, but the reason that I am making a post about this is because the promo for this interview is one of the most absurd things I have ever seen. They take it so seriosuly! I could see an interview with Kim Jong Il getting a seriosu promotional spot, but Anna Nicole Smith? The best part of the whole thing was when the host of The Insider interviewed the guy who interviewed Anna Nicole Smith. I mean REALLY... How lame!!

Happy Birthday GWB! No, not the president, but the George Washington Bridge!

• On October 25, 1931, 75 years ago today, the George Washington Bridge opened to traffic. Spanning the Hudson between Washington Heights and Fort Lee, New Jersey, the bridge cost about $60 million to build.
• Plans for the bridge were in the works as early as 1906. The lower deck was completed in 1962, bringing the total number of traffic lanes to 14.
• The bridge span is more than 4,700 feet. Last year 107-million vehicles used the bridge.
• When it first opened, the toll was just 60 cents. Today the cash toll is $6 for cars to cross the bridge city-bound, and trucks are now only allowed on the upper level.
• The George Washington Bridge is the fourth-largest suspension bridge in the world.
  
  TrashyPantz Traffic Tip of the day: The GWB Lower Level always has less traffic than the upper! It's a proven fact by the Segall family after many, many miles travelled over the GWB!

The promos for the newest “Simpsons” Halloween episode merit an official subtitle: “Edited from the electronic lagoon.” “Simpsons” fans can create their own 30-second advertisements online as part of a contest to promote Treehouse of Horror XVII, which airs on Nov. 5 on Fox. Visitors to the official “Simpsons” web site can use video clips from the episode, sound effects, music cues, text and title cards to create a preview of the Halloween episode. There's a MySpace page for the contest as well. The winner will receive tickets to the 400th “Simpsons” episode premiere and see their promo air on Fox. Remixing cartoons is becoming quite the online fascination. TurboNick, Nickelodeon’s broadband site, also recently began offering a program that lets kids mash up their favorite animated shows.

I was Jewish guilted into dogsitting for my mom's dog, Polo (seen on the right). While he looks so adorable, don't be fooled! He is a neurotic, high maintenance Bischon who does not like to sleep or just chill out. I took him to the park the other day where I found an empty, fenced in baseball field and let him run loose to try to tire him out! As you will see from the pic on the right, he chose to run the bases in the red clay sand (he could have a tight race against Jose Reyes) instead of the grass, and I had to give him a half bath to make his red legs go back to white.

Also beware that this dog is a LIAR. He stands at the bottom of the staircase and won't go up the stairs if you are up there. He cries and barks and will only go upstairs if you carry him up halfway! When coming home from work the past 2 days, Polo has been nowhere in sight because HE IS UPSTAIRS!! We caught him red handed- er, red legged- in the loft!

Polo heads back home on Sunday, then peace and happiness and rest can be restored in the Murphy household.

1 vs. 100 vs. Deal or No Deal

NBC has done very well with one primetime game show hosted by a former TV star, "Deal or no Deal" with “St. Elsewhere’s” Howie Mandel. So why not do it again? Starting next month the network will air "1 vs. 100," a European quiz game that will be hosted by “Full House’s” Bob Saget. The show will premiere October 13 at 9 p.m., later moving to 8 on Fridays, and will feature one contestant taking on 100 adversaries in a trivia game for a chance at $1 million.

Do you think one of the questions will be, "Who said the line 'Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?' in the movie Half Baked?"

Emmy recap

This years Emmy's were a bit of a downer... Shows that deserved to win were snubbed by shows/actors that have been cancelled. It used to be that if you died, you won the award, but now, if your show got cancelled, you get an award (GO AWAY WILL & GRACE!). Wasn't that show off the air a long time ago?

To make this list as easy as possible, I have created 2 categories. Agree, Disagree and Toss Up. I have alsoincluded awards that were given out at the Creative Emmy Awards. Comments by moi are in italics.

AGREE:
Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series:
Jeremy Piven - Entourage (HBO)
I hope that Will Arnett from Arrested Development was a close second to Jeremy Piven, and am thankful that Will & Grace did not win.
Outstanding Reality-Competition Program: The Amazing Race (CBS)
While I am slightly obsessed with Project Runway and have always loved Survivor, Amazing Race is the one reality show where things are fast paced and contestants get to see the world, instead of being trapped on an island or stuck in a Parson's Design workroom. While all three shows boast the obligatory gay character, nothing beats a gay couple backpacking around the world trying to win a race. You know that they will get on each other nerves and the one liners they deliver will be awesome.
Outstanding Comedy Series: The Office (NBC)
YES! Great show! Totally deserved this award! This show was almost cancelled by NBC and has gone on to great ratings and now an emmy. Perhaps FOX should take a cue from this show the next time a great show like Arrested Development falls in its lap.
Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series, Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Comedy Series AND Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series: My Name Is Earl (NBC)
Again, well deserved. PLUS... 2 of the winners had some of the best speeches of the night! Jamie Presley was snubbed for an award for her character Joy, at least her acting and the rest of the cast were able to deliver the writing to allow it win an award.

DISAGREE:
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS)
So Julia Louis- Dreyfus doesn't win for Elaine, but for some crappy character Christine? Does anyone even watch this show? I watched the pilot, and that was rough. This one should have gone to Jane Kaczmarek of Malcom in the Middle.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series: Tony Shalhoub - Monk (USA)
Seriously, this is Tony Shalhoub's third win for this character. This stupid, annoying, not nearly as entertaining as Antonio Scarpacci from Wings beats out Steve Carrell, Kevin James, Larry David and Charlie Sheen? I don't get it at all...
Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety Or Music Program:
Barry Manilow - Barry Manilow: Music And Passion (PBS)
"I lost to Barry Manilow ... I lost to the Copacabana," wailed Colbert.
Outstanding Reality Program: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC)
IF THIS AWARD WAS GIVEN FOR REALITY SHOW WITH THE MOST SHOUTING THROUGH A MEGAPHONE BY A REALLY ANNOYING GUY, then the right show won. This category was slim pickins, but the real winner here should have been Penn & Teller: Bullshit! (Showtime) who at least push the envelope in their show. How many crying designers and wacked out theme rooms can one person watch?
Outstanding Directing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program:
78th Annual Academy Awards ABC)
Seriously, this wins EVERY year! And how hard is it to direct an awards show. Cut 1, people walking onto stage to present. Cut 2, people announcing the nominees. Cut 3,4,5,6,7 shots of nominees. Cut 8, winner walking to stage. Cut 9, Winner speaks and walks away. And I am pretty sure that the other nominees have much higher ratings then the Academy Awards (American Idol Finale, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, SNL).
Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Special: The XX Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony (NBC)
I can think about 500 things bettern than a 6 hour program of watching athletes in windpant suits, waving flags while walking out to bad Euro music on an equally cheesy Euro set. I guess it's better that this won than the 78th Annual Academy Awards, let's spread the awards around to all the shitty awards shows.

TOSS UPS:
Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series AND Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central)
Two very well deserved awards, but couldn't one of them gone to The Colbert Report? Where is the truthiness in this, I ask you!
Outstanding Drama Series: 24 (FOX)
Ok, I have seen bits and pieces of this show, and I hear nothing but good things. I am definitely glad that The Sopranos did not win, the show has been a let down lately. Mobster comas are not as exciting as possible dead presidents.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series: Kiefer Sutherland - 24 (FOX)
Same sentiment as above, except... I really wanted Denis Leary to win this award. Rescue me is as innovative a show as 24, with great characters and writing. I also would have liked to see Peter Krause, Nate of Six Feet Under, to win, plus he had the whole cancelled series thing going for him. Six feet under was snubbed by most award shows it was nominated for, and this would have been a nice win for the series. I guess saving the world in 24 hours is more important than being a fireman and running a funeral home.

Overall, the Emmy's were crappy. Crappy people won. Crappy shows won. However, Conan was a good host. Grey's Anatomy was a virtual shut out (only winning some creative Emmy's). Lost was complete out of the competition with no nominations, after they dominated last years Emmy's. The Aaron Spelling tribute was unwatchable, and way to long, but it might have been a record for the most TV celebrities with too much plastic surgery on one stage. Someone call The Guinness Book of World Record, or Ripley's Believe It Or Not (which might be a better fit come to think of it.)

Borat movie trailer

Instead of making box office predicitions this week, since there are too many crappy movies in the theaters intertwined with some decent ones, I decided to try to turn your attention to a movie coming out this fall...
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

You may recognize Borat from HBO's Da Ali G Show, starring Sacha Baron Cohen. A full length feature film of Borat is due out November 3rd, Kazakhstani TV personality Borat is dispatched to the United States to report on the "greatest country in the world." With a documentary crew in tow, Borat becomes more interested in locating and marrying *Pamela Anderson than on his assignment.

Check out the trailer by clicking HERE

*My apologies for having two Pam Anderson references in 1 month. This will never happen again. Promise.

TrashyPantz Box Office Predictions

Since my Miami Vice Opening weekend box office was not that far off, I thought I would give another shot at this weekends movie releases, which presents more of a challenge than usual.

Thrown into the mix is the campy thriller of Snakes On A Plane (SoaP). This movie has been so hyped by an internet fan base, that many of the decisions made in the movie were based on fan message boards, and by the main actor, Samuel L. Jackson. Who else could add this line and make sure it got into the final cut..."I've had it with these mother*$!*! snakes on this mother*$!*! plane!" The movie started out with the title of SoaP and then was changed to Pacific Air 121. The title was quickly changed back to SaoP when Jackson said he wouldn't do it if it was called Pacific air 121.

Along with SoaP, The Duff sisters are in a some crappy movie called Material Girls. Hilary and Haylie Duff play heiress sisters whose family cosmetics company folds after a scandal and leaves them penniless. Boo hoo. Anyway...

Then there is the movie Accepted with actor Justin Long, who plays a guy rejected from every college he applied to, so he and his friends start their own fake university. He is one of those actors who you recognize but can never quite place your finger on what movies he has been in. Allow me to refresh your memory...Dodgeball, Jeepers Creepers (both of them), Waiting.

This weekends Box Office predictions mix the new and the old...

1. Snakes on a Plane, $32 million
2. Material Girls, $22 million
(Teenage girls will go see this movie since Laguna Beach started a new season this week and MTV can't run 5 hours of it back to back yet and because The Real World Key West sucks)
3.Talladega Nights, $15 million
(This is the 3rd weekend the movie is out, but I read an article that Wal-Mart sales are down by their largest percentage ever, and I think it's because rednecks are going to see this movie instead.)

Feel free to post your predictions in the comments section!
Happy movie going to all!

Miami Vice 'cop' out

The idea of a Miami Vice movie always seemed incredibly stupid to me. But I am no Hollywood executive, so my thought was, "OK, the 80's are making somewhat of a comeback, I can understand the timing for a Miami Vice movie. Speedboats! White suite with pink T-shirts underneath! Cheesy background music!" But no, the movie has decided to be updated, to be put in the present, which really makes it lose so much. Half of the love that people have for Miami Vice is the cheesyness. It is the same reason people love Walker, Texas Ranger.

Then today, I came across an article about how Director Michael Mann has decided to not use the original Miami Vice theme. Instead, he updated the theme song as well and released it on his own indie label!

Officially, there is nothing Miami Vice about this movie. Mann wanted there to be no link between the TV show and the movie, but the problem is that the consumer is looking for it and is confused that there is none.

Trahypantz estimated opening weekend box off for Miami Vice: $19 million (coming in at #3 on a weekend of weak releases.)

Seeing that I work at a news establishment, all the talk these days is about Kim Jong Il and the missles testing going on in North Korea. And every time I hear the name Kim Jong Il, I can't help but chuckle and think only of one movie in particular.
So to ease the inner laughter I felt it necessary to post the following clip from Team America.
Enjoy!

Things I don't give a sh*t about

Is it just me, or are we being bombarded with things that really, who gives a sh*t.
In no particular order is a list of a few things that people are talking about, talking up, and I can't figure out why.

#1 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest


The first movie sucked. Why make a second one? We are about to be bombarded with images of a crazy looking Johnny Depp (like the one above) on TV, in magazines, on billboards. I really don't want to know want what might be involved with the special McDonald's meal that will be put together for this, but I am thinking it will be used to up the sales of the filet o-fish. Yum.

#2 Nelly Furtado, "Promiscuous"
On first listen, I thought this was another crappy Black Eyed Peas song that Fergie was way too heavily involved in. Then I thought, great, this is going to be in every car commercial, Pepsi commercial. The I heard that it was actually the "I'm like a bird" singer! What happened here? Sellout? Anyone?

#3 Paris Hilton, Stars Are Blind

This is the first single off Hilton's forthcoming debut album (and hopefully the last). The song has already hit the iTunes Top 20 downloaded songs!! I have a theory here... It could be tweeny-boppers spending the 99 cents they found while cleaning out last seasons Louis Vuitton bag in preparationtion for their summer Coach bag. But I think Paris Hilton is buying her own song, over and over and over again. It pays to be an heiress. The song is also climbing on the radio charts!! WHY!?!?! Can we please look at some of these lyrics that are whispered, over mixed and over produced to not even sound closely to what, if she had any talent, she would sound like singing: "Those other guys all wanna take me for a ride/But when I walk their talk is suicide/Some people never get beyond their stupid pride/But you can see the real me inside/And I'm satisfied, oh no, ohh"..."I can make you nice and naughty/Be the devil and angel too/Got a heart and soul and body/Let's see what this love can do."
If you want to laugh some more... here is a link to the actual song. You can thank me later.

#4 Superman Returns
I just can't figure out this movie. It's getting some hype, but I don't think people are excited about this movie. Howard Stern went to a screening and liked the fact that since the last Superman man movie was made, effects are so much better and when Superman flies, he FLIES. I want to see it, but I don't want to see it. Perhaps it is reminants of disappointment of Bataman Begins. Then there are the rumblings in the press that Superman is gay. "Some have also seen the hero as a gay icon, forced to live a double life with his super-self in the closet. A recent edition of the gay magazine "The Advocate" even asked on its cover, "How gay is Superman?" Well take a look at one of the posters for sale through the movie... you might have the answer.
