And though I haven’t heard either Adam or Kris sing anything, I really hope that Kris wins. Why? Because I think Adam Lambert looks disgusting and I am not looking forward to seeing his ugly mug all over the place as the Idol winner. Yeah, that’s pretty shallow, but whatever. He’s gross.

Unfortunately, his fame is likely solidified by now even if he doesn’t win. Too bad….

Unlike other sites that are hosting Super Bowl videos, USA Today loads quickly and doesn’t have commercials within the commercials — meaning you don’t have to sit through 30 seconds of other advertising before getting to the Super Bowl commercials.

In addition, you can vote on your favorite commercials, and see how the commercials rank according to various age/gender/income metrics.

I agree that the Budweiser commercial, where the dog trains a Clydesdale with Rocky music in the background was good (it’s #1 on the list), but I thought the commercial with Charles Barkley calling D-Wade every five seconds is underrated on the site. That one was pretty funny, and should be a lot higher than 28!

Anyway, check it out if you have some time to waste today.

Oh, and can we please get rid of that freakin’ idiotic Jane Doe/Alex Karev storyline please? Pretty please??? She has been around for, what, 10 episodes now? So. Boring.

Since I live in Japan for half the year, I’ve been able to consume a fairly decent amount of anime in my time. It’s usually stuff that my husband watches, like Dragon Ball Z, Gundam, Naruto, and other popular shows like that. The ones I just listed are all pretty tame and straightforward as far as storylines go, so I was expecting more or less the same thing from Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. How wrong I was!

I just got done watching a couple of episodes and have to say that Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is one of the wildest (and funniest) anime I’ve seen in a long time. The hero of the show is Bo-bobo, a guy who sports a blond afro and fights off enemies with the aid of his powerful, 5-foot long nose hairs. His main target is the evil Baldy Bald IV and his band of “Hair Hunt” soldiers whose agenda is to shave off the hair of unsuspecting citizens (like the pink-maned girl Beauty) to promote their whole “skin is in” philosophy. I told you this one was pretty wild — you really must check out the Official Website!

The DVDs of Bobobo-bo-Bo-bobo are available at Illumitoon.com. Early versions were released with English “Dubtitles” (the English translation of the script) instead of Japanese subtitles, but after listening to customer requests, Illumitoon has decided to release DVDs with Japanese subtitles from here on out. In addition, Illumitoon is willing to accommodate fans who bought the Dubtitle versions by offering a trade-in program to get the subtitled discs. For more info on the trade-in program, click here: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo trade-in.

Overall, I think Bo-bobo seems like an anime series worth watching. If nothing else, it’s hilarious and completely different from everything else out there!

What I really like about the site is the way they put the daily updates up so quickly. So if you happen to miss an episode, you can just go to Soaps.com and find out everything that went down in that day’s show — complete with pictures (screen grabs) and quotes — which means you’ll be up to speed in no time. Plus, you’ll be able to join the community and interact with other GH fans on the message boards.

Josh & Donna Clips

It was so nice seeing these clips again. It made me realize how much I miss The West Wing, and even more, how much I miss great relationships and/or chemistry in my TV shows. When I think back over the years, I’ve almost always had a great couple to follow. In the mid-1980’s it was Maddie and David on Moonlighting; in the early to mid ’90s it was Mulder and Scully on The X-Files; then in the late ’90s through last year, it was Josh and Donna on The West Wing.

After taking stock of the shows I watch now, I realize that there’s not a single couple that turns me into a ’shipper. I watch 24, CSI, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, The Sopranos, Prison Break, and Grey’s Anatomy pretty regularly. The only couple I’m even slightly interested in out of all those shows is Michael Scofield and Sara Tancredi from Prison Break, but they’re hardly ever on screen together, so it’s not very fun to be a ’shipper for that show. GA has a lot of couples, but I don’t like any of them because they’re all so dysfunctional.

So what am I missing? Are there any shows out there with a truly great couple that practically burns up the screen with their chemistry? Let me know!

Let me tell you, I was VERY impressed by Tyra. She is not only intelligent and articulate, but she seems extremely kind and caring as well. I like how she’s using her talk show and America’s Next Top Model to show young women that it’s ok not to look like the anorexic actresses and models that are in every magazine on the newsstands.

I was actually just flipping channels and wasn’t planning on watching Larry King, but Banks came across as so sincere that I stayed put and watched the last 45 minutes of her interview. I am now a Tyra Banks fan and will try to catch America’s Next Top Model when it airs on Feb. 28.
