Welcome to my special view of the world.

DWTS – Sade Steals the Show

Posted by Cynical Sarah on April 15, 2010

We’re in Week 4 of Dancing With The Stars, and so far my favorite moment of the season doesn’t involve dancing. On the result show this week Sade performed twice and blew away any other performance – music or dancing – that I’ve seen through several seasons of viewing.

I was entranced with the performance of “Babyfather,” and reminded how much I’ve liked Sade’s work. Then when she came back for a second performance, she granted my silent wish that she’d do the always popular “Sweetest Taboo.” I will likely head out to buy Sade’s latest album, and I couldn’t even tell you who danced while she was performing.

DWTS: Brenda Bites the Dust

Posted by Cynical Sarah on March 31, 2010

Shannen Doherty was the first one to go this season on Dancing with the Stars. It was proof positive of how big a popularity contest the show is.

There were plenty of people with lower scores after two nights of dancing, and based on scores Buzz Aldren and Kate Gosselin were shoe-ins for the bottom two. But the reality show gods were in Kate’s favor, and I’m guessing people just didn’t have the heart to not vote for Buzz. Instead Shannen and Pamela Anderson ended up in the bottom two.

Opportunism at Its Worst

Posted by Cynical Sarah on March 21, 2010

Sometimes there are just so many things going on in the world that fuel my cynicism that it’s hard to sort them out to write about them. There were a ton of stories out there this week that increased my lack of faith in humanity, but none more so than the Jesse James infidelity story.

My issue isn’t even about the actual cheating. Sad but true, infidelity isn’t all that shocking especially coming from the celebrity world. Was it right? No. Should Jesse James feel bad? Yes. Is it a horrible thing for a couple to have to go through? Most definitely.

But in a sad testament to my own cynicism, it’s hardly a blip on my radar. The part of this story that does set me off, however, is the timing of the story coming out. Or to clarify, the timing of Michelle McGee deciding to announce to the world that Jesse James cheated with her.

Big Bite of Media Reality

Posted by Cynical Sarah on February 18, 2010

Watching the story of Kevin Smith being “too fat to fly” this week has brought me back to why I can never go back to being a “journalist.”

Heavyweight Action Online Between Silent Bob, SWA

Posted by Cynical Sarah on February 15, 2010

Behold the power of the Internet. (And anyone out there heading up a company/corporation/business of any kind may want to take note of just how powerful it is.) In a matter of two days, Kevin Smith has used Twitter, his blog and Smodcast to vilify Southwest Airlines, and it’s getting him some results.

Posted by Cynical Sarah on September 10, 2007

There are many, many, many – well, too many really – examples of celebrities of all kinds who have cashed in on their fame to add a little more to their fortunes.
