picPop King they call him. But, seriously, come on now. . . Not to mention the fact that every news channel on television has some blurb posted about the practically plastic man. I ask the simple question, who cares? This reminds me of the entire Anna Nicole Smith fiasco,\ and how long we had to endure hearing about her problems on the television for weeks after her death. There are literally hundreds of great folks who have died over the last decade: Heath Ledger, Charlton Heston, Natasha Richardson, Elizabeth Allen, Steve Irwin, Patrick Swayze is fighting stage IV cancer, ... and the list goes...

In addition to enjoying watching them, many people would love to have a role in one of these shows.  And with reality shows covering topics from cooking to dating to trivial knowledge to...

picDo you remember more animated series now? I do. In fact, I can't believe I was able to watch all those AND go to school AND do my homework AND play with my friends. Wow! I was busy. 17. Voltron I'm not really sure if people in the US remember this show or if it were available to them at all, but I loved watching this show. It was the first animated series that featured girl power in the form of Princess Allura. They used a giant robot to defend their country. I don't know about you, but they had me with...

picMuch like the Harry Potter series brought loads of magic into the scene of entertainment, the Twilight series has now brought loads of vampires streaming onto the television. It seems network providers want to cash in on this new craze, but just what shows are they offering? The CW is premiering a brand new high school vampire drama that sounds almost exactly like...well, you get the hint. The new show is called The Vampire Diaries.
