Kanye West Possible Judge On Idol???
VH1 has reported that Kanye West is being considered as a possible judge on American Idol which leaves just one question..do they not remember Kanye likes taking microphones?? SERIOUSLY Idol?? This season is already proving to be a bag full of crazy considering that they have also considered Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey (Mariah being the only sane one of the three). Can you imagine Kanye and Minaj as judges?? Oh my God...just throw Chris Brown in there and we could have an old fashioned smack down at half time. Ok folks, we realize that the numbers for Idol have been slipping as audiences have tuned out but come on, ya'll are just asking for trouble right from the word go.
Live With Kelly Co-Host Search...the Real Deal
Ok so now is the moment of truth. There has been a report going around that Michael Strahan was selected as Kelly's new co-host despite the fact that ABC stated the co-host will not be revealed until Sept.4, 2012. Here's my take on this whole mess-as a former Disney employee (parent company of ABC) I find it very hard to believe that someone talked to the press regaurding Strahan. Disney does not take these types of breaches lightly and whoever did it would be fired immediately without question. Generally speaking this type of decision is usually kept from the general staff until the reveal for security reasons and therefore IF (and this is a HUGE IF) someone did talk it would be very easy to pinpoint who said something. So I highly doubt anyone close to the "situation" spoke to the media. Unless it came from Strahan's side because Disney is extremely strict on such matters. When I was on Extreme Makeover Home Edition I had to sign a two page disclosure that any photos I took could not be released until the episode aired. And I was not allowed to talk about any details of said episode until it aired that fall. It was filmed during the summer (August) and aired that November. If they required such confidentiality with us I cant imagine the paper work involved in an even bigger announcement such as Kelly's co-host. I think it is high time that the media had some respect for the show, for Kelly and the entire staff and respect the fact that they do not wish to reveal who will replace Regis until September. I think it is irresponsible and quite frankly wrong to just fire off reports and rumors that cannot be verified 100%. People get your facts first and if it cannot be confirmed then at the very least have some respect for the wishes of those involved with the show.
If it is true I think he would be a fantastic choice but this author is not buying into the hype out of respect for Kelly and all the staff at my favorite morning talk show. I believe that at the very least that respect is owed. As far as this blog goes I will not speculate or entertain rumors. I will only await the facts that will be revealed on September 4.NBC Premieres "Go On" with Matthew Perry
Travel Spotlight: The Outer Banks, North Carolina
It's not too late to take that final road trip of summer and I highly recommend that you give the Outer Banks in North Carolina a try. I went for the first time in 2011 and fell in love with this slice of heaven on earth. There is so much to do there-from surfing, to sight seeing, horse back riding in the surf and more! This is a perfect couples get away place, take the kids to the beach or the many towns with activities like putt putt golf or taking pictures of the wild horses that inhabit the islands. If you enjoy the feel of a mom and pops town then the Outer Banks is for you. There are hundreds of family owned businesses all throughout the islands and there is plenty of great family owned places to stay. I stayed at the Breakwater Inn on Hatteras Island and ate breakfast daily at Sonny's (which had great prices and excellent food). They have entertainment and lodging to meet all kinds of budgets.If you are a Monster Truck fan, be sure to stop off at Dennis Anderson's home in Kill Devil Hills which is opened to the public and where you can take your pictures of Grave Digger I stayed next door to Oden's Dock where they had salt water fishing guides and tours where you could go see the wild horses on Ocrachoke Island. There is literally hundreds of things to do while you stay in one of the most incredible destinations you may ever see. Go have lunch on the beach near the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, one of several lighthouses that dot the strip known as the Outer Banks. Go relax in the sand and let all your cares drift away as you watch the sun rise over the ocean. If you would like to know more about the Outer Banks you can follow them on Twitter @TheOuterBanks or go to their website for activities, reservations and more.
"The Office" to End After Season 9
Dunder Mifflin is packing it in after 9 seasons according to NBC officials which means NBC will have to step up their game in their scripted shows. "The Office" is still very highly rated and according to its director, Greg Daniels it was just time to bring the story to an end. They are looking into a spin-off show in the future. The end did seem near with the exit of Steve Carrell, a fixture of the show since it's beginning. Best of luck to all who work for this great show. Thank you for the laughs all these years.
