8/28: Emmys snub Idol — again
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For the fourth straight year, “Amazing Race” won best reality show competition, beating out “American Idol,” along with “Project Runway,” “Survivor” and “Danncing with the Stars.”
Did anyone notice that Simon Cowell got nicely booed when introduced before he did his homage to Dick Clark. It was odd to see him wearing glasses, too.
8/28: Celebrity Duets
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m going to write about Celebrity Duets since it is a Simon show and will have some echoes of “Idol.” Is that cool with everybody who is still reading this offseason? It should be entertaining in a “Dancing With the Stars” way…
The show, which will air Thursdays and Fridays, debuts in a special two-hour intro hour Tuesday night 8/29. It will feature eight nonsinging celebs such as Lea Thompson (“Caroline in the City”) Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”), Chris Jericho (WWE wrestler) and Cheech Marin (“Up in Smoke,” “Nash Bridges”). They will sing songs in different genres with real singers such as Brian McKnight, Clint Black, Kenny Loggins, Patti LaBelle, Belinda Carlisle, Randy Travis and Chaka Khan.
The judges: producer David Foster, Marie Osmond and (get this!) Little Richard. America will vote after the first episode.
