Happy New Year! Apparently I need a New Year’s resolution to not miss a weekly blog post. Apologies, I genuinely meant to get one done last week. Anywho, lets get caught up, here’s what’s been going on this year so far:
The 2013 Consumer Electronics Show opened in Vegas on Tuesday. One of the coolest highlights from this year's show is 3M’s 84 inch Ultra High Definition touch screen television. I hear the resolution is better then real life.
Hope your 2013 is kicking off great by the way. Still takes a little bit to stop writing 2012 on things doesn’t it? Don’t feel bad if you do, Larry King is still writing 1812 on his cheques. -Zing! …Thanks to Mike Alan, for that one!
The Late Night TV wars are heating up again. Jimmy Kimmel Live has now moved to a 11:35 start time on ABC (can you believe his show’s been on the air 10 years already?, time flies). NBC responded by moving the Tonight Show to an 11:34 official start time. Really NBC, this is your latest brilliant programming decision?…Worst part is, this is probably the best Late Night TV decision they've made in a while. More on these clowns in a second.
First, to NBC’s idiotic Sports equivalent: the Toronto Maple Leafs. A hockey deal was made between the NHL & Players, the lockout is over. So, with the season now just days away, the team fired GM Brian Burke on Wednesday. With a team (he built) right on the cusp of success, in a city and at a timewhen you need a real hockey guy, you get rid of your hockey guy? Congratulations Toronto Maple Leafs, you’ve outdone yourselves, again....More then anything, the timing and how the firing was done just seems really weird doesn't it?, you can’t help but think there is possibly a lot more to this story.
Recently selling his “Star Wars” franchise to Disney for 4 BILLION dollars, George Lucas has announced he is also now engaged. Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger. But she ain’t dealing with no broke droid dealer, is she George?…Actually, his wife to be is the President of an investment firm, she’s got her own cash...and still more then you & I will probably ever see.
Classy segue time!, if you got the reference...To Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Last week the pair announced they are having a baby. When he first found out Kanye was very excited. I also hear he told Kim he was happy for her too, but he thought Beyonce already had one of the greatest babies of all time.
Bill Clinton has just been named “Father of the Year”. This by the National Father’s Day Council….Oh wait, correction!, there are a few typos in that story. It should read: “Customer of the Year”, and “National Titty-Bar Council”, sorry about that.
Rating numbers show by the end of this season The Big Bang Theory could be the most watched TV sitcom since Friends was on the air. Up next, watch for everyone rushing to get the ‘Wolowitz’ haircut!
It’s official Michael J. Fox will star in a new show on NBC this fall. Mirroring his own life; the show will be about a man with Parkinson's Disease returning to work after starting new medication. I hear NBC promises the show will be a real shake up to their primetime line-up. ….........send your hate mail to Ryan Crits, I don’t want it.
And Rush fans, watch for Geddy Lee to make an appearance on a February episode of "How I Met Your Mother". He’ll be among several Canadians making a cameo including Alex Trebek, Paul Shaffer & Jason Priestley. Attention HIMYM writers, don’t forget to squeeze in an Al Waxman photo cameo too!
Finally some of the greatest advice ever. Doctors are re-confirming a hot naught sex session is the best cure for the common cold. Two things here, A: These doctors are geniuses and deserve a nobel prize for such wonderful advice. B: my throat has been feeling scratchy lately, perhaps I’m coming down with something ...can I get a little help ladies?! ;-)

--Oh P.S. Just a silly left over from the end of last year I wanted to share:
Dec 31st, 2012
It’s New Year’s Eve and Lindsay Lohan says she wants to 'stay in and stay sober’ tonight. For the record this is the 365th time she has said that this year. Ha!
