Restore Stephen Baldwin

0 comments

Taking a serious interest in Steven Baldwin, tonight’s ending to South Park was a reference to help ‘towels everywhere. Which lead to this very interesting website that perhaps is one of the strangest ever: http://www.restorestephenbaldwin.org/
A website dedicated to the Hollywood actor Stephen Baldwin. Not a fan site mind you but an actual donation site set up to help pay the bills of the celebrity. According to the site once the actor took to God a few years back, he was shunned by Hollywood and has ended up broke.
Is this true? There is no ‘official’ word from the celebrity about this, but the site is run by an individual who says it is so. Thousands of people jammed this site last night as the very ending of the South Park references it.
In the end, the towel gets the rehab and lives happily ever after (no we aren’t talking Baldwin here, we are talking the blue towel on South Park.) Luckily the washcloth gets his family back too. As for Baldwin, he got slapped in the face…yep with a towel.

Who Got Kicked Off American Idol

0 comments

The American Idol results show was a Shania Twain - less affair, the Top 6 contestants awaiting their fate while listening tolive performances by Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Sons of Sylvia, and Shakira with Rascal Flatts. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest got all the contestants out on the stage about ten minutes into the program and named the Bottom Three: Siobhan Magnus, Michael Lynche, and Casey James. After Siobhan’s rushed and clumsy, flat-note hitting, let’s-end-the-song-with-an-Adam-Lambert-scream-that-worked-only-once-before rendition of Shania Twain’s “Any Man Of Mine,” she deserved to be there. But both Casey James and Michael Lynche did not. Perhaps one of them, but Lee Dewyze deserved to be there because of his boring version of “You’re Still The One.” Still, that’s the way the results played out. Ryan Seacrest then sent Michael Lynche to the Sofa of Safety, he was left with Siobhan Magnus and Casey James. After watching America keep the mop-topped smiler, “Teflon” Tim Urban, on the show for so long, who got kicked off American Idol Wednesday evening (April 28)? It was a shock to hear Ryan Seacrest utter the name of Siobhan Magnus as the person going home. Thankfully, Siobhan spared America from a repeat of that “fun” Shania Twain song she performed Tuesday evening and chose Aretha Franklin’s “Think (Freedom).” It was that song that helped the girl from Boston stay on the show for so long (it’s where she hit ‘the note’) — because she really can sing. Watch Siobhan Magnus perform “Think (Freedom)” on American Idol as part of the Top 20.

But, in the wake of this small town’s first crime in five years, some dark truths are being revealed about some familiar faces.

Great Performance, indeed; Happy Town? Not so much

Siobhan Magnus

(CBS)
From the 33 million registered votes on Tuesday night, Siobhan Magnus received the smallest share from the viewers and was sent home on Wednesday night’s elimination episode of “American Idol.”
The quirky 20-year-old from Cape Cod, Massachusetts had a habit for belting high notes at the end of all her performances. At first, it wowed the judges, but they soon became less enthused after seeing the same type of execution week after week.
On Tuesday night’s episode, Judge Simon Cowell said Magnus sounded like she was giving birth during her rendition of Shania Twain’s “Any Man of Mine.”
Season 9 ContestantsThe “Idol” Finale
The results portion of the show began with host Ryan Seacrest divvying up the contestants into three groups of two. The first pair announced was Magnus and Lee Dewyze, then Casey James with Michael “Big Mike” Lynche, followed by Aaron Kelly and Crystal Bowersox.
Going straight to it, Seacrest escorted Magnus across the stage to stand next to James and Lynche, pronouncing them as the bottom three.
Lynche was the first one relieved, but had no shame of being back in the bottom three. “Tonight is different because everyone did well last night,” he said.
Once James’ name was called and he was declared safe, Magnus managed to keep her head up high and had a smile on her face. She left with style and performed Aretha Franklin’s “Think.” Naturally she ended the performance with her signature ear-piercing scream.
The Rascall Flatts helped continue with this week’s country theme and opened up the show with their performance of “Unstoppable.” They made their way back on the stage later on the show for a peculiar duet with Latin pop singer Shakira. Later on, Lady Antebellum sang their chart topping hit “Need You Now.”
Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas made brief appearances in the beginning to help promote their upcoming movie “Shrek Forever After,” which Ryan Seacrest has a brief cameo in.
“Idol” alum Carrie Underwood also paid a visit to her old stomping grounds to introduce her tour mates Sons of Sylvia, who performed “Love Left to Lose.”
There is only one female finalist left and the pressure is on full force for Crystal Bowersox to pull through. With only five contestants remaining, the competition is starting to get extra tight.
We’ll find out next week who will be capable of reigning supreme when Harry Connick Jr mentors the remaining five as they pick songs from the great Frank Sinatra.
