Bieber vs. Brown

I think we need to set up this cage match: Chris Brown and Justin Bieber: two "men" enter, one "man" leaves. Who's your money on? Check the videos at each of those TMZ links and decide for yourself. Bad language on both videos. Imagine little Justin Bieber dropping f-bombs. For shame!

A Tale Of Two Justins

Dear Justin Bieber,

It's quite simple: if you don't like being compared to Justin Timberlake...



...why would you sing a Timberlake song in concert?



Please go away,
Sincerely,

Joe in Philly

P.S. Sorry to hear about your recent breakup with Selena Gomez. If you need to talk, I know a guy who'd love to listen.

P.P.S. It's not me. Good grief, no.

TV Tryouts: Elementary, 666 Park Avenue

In my last post I mentioned that I planned to try these two shows, and so I have. But first, I tried "Partners" again. I couldn't DVR it because I was recording "Bones" while watching baseball, so I figured I could watch it On Demand. Except, oddly enough, it wasn't one of the shows CBS offered On Demand. So I had to watch it online. I went to CBS.com and, well, I lasted through the first scene after the first commercial break. Sorry, Michael Urie, I love you but this show sucks. (By the way, CBS.com, if you're going to show commercials and not allow us to click past them, at least show three different commercials and not the same stupid Macy's commercial showing people like Martha Stewart and Justin Bieber working in the store THREE TIMES IN A ROW.)

Now then...I might have enjoyed "Elementary" a little more if the Sherlock Holmes character wasn't named Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the BBC "Sherlock," which took great care in bringing the characters into the present day, "Elementary" just makes changes for the sake of change. Look, Holmes lives in New York now! Look, Watson is a woman now! And so on. The rest of it is just a standard crime procedural show without fancy CSI graphics. Despite the charms of Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson, I won't be tuning in again. (By the way, are Miller's tattoos real or are they just for the show?)

As for "666 Park Avenue," I just found it boring. A show starring Vanessa Williams should never be boring. And her character is boring, at least so far.

Our lesson so far: the new shows I've sampled are all failures.

My First Poll: Justin Bieber's First Time

I decided to go see "Megamind" today. What a mistake. Not because of the movie itself, which I'll talk about in a separate post. Since today was Veterans Day the schools were closed. Since the schools were closed the multiplex was crowded. Lines at the box office. Lines at the concession stands. Loud, rambunctious children all over the place. And since I wasn't seeing something for a more mature audience, such as "Jackass 3D," many of those loud rambunctious children were in the theater seeing "Megamind." (Plus, instead of $5 movies all afternoon, they reverted to their weekend policy where only movies before noon are $5, and other afternoon movies are $7.50.)

In addition, the final trailer shown before the feature started was for the upcoming Justin Bieber movie, which seems to be some sort of concert/behind-the-scenes thing. It really frightened me. Then it got me thinking. This kid went from nothing to international heartthrob almost overnight. Does he have groupies? And if so, has he taken advantage of any of them? Has he, in fact, turned in his V card? With Kim Kardashian, maybe?

With that in mind, I've created my first poll for this blog. Exercise your right to vote on this very important question...

When will Justin Bieber lose his virginity?
	Oh, please -- he's already done it
	Age 17
	Age 18
	Age 19-21
	Age 22-24
	Age 25 or later
	He will never EVER have sex!
	Depends -- does it count if it's not with a girl?
