Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

“Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso” is a new show debuting on Telemundo which is going to cement that already famous company’s reputation as the greatest TV purveyor going. “Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso” means, quit e literally, “Without Breasts There Is No Paradise”, and the show promises to promote boobies in a way rarely seen on modern TV.

The show is a “telenovel” based on the novel of the same name by Gustavo Bolivar.

The network thinks the show will be a big hit because it focuses on the story of a “good girl” who makes bad choices for the right reasons. Don Browne of Telemundo is optimistic about the show’s chances.

“It’ll cause people to talk about issues that need to be talked about,” Browne said.

Breasts are an issue that can never be talked about enough, so it sounds like Telemundo and Browne are on the right track.

Jason Castro Has Tough Night On American Idol

“American Idol” is not the easiest show in the world for many performers, and Jason Castro proved to be no exception last night as he got lambasted by Simon Cowell for a poor performance.

Castro tried a rendition of “I Shot The Sheriff”, popularized by Bob Marley and the Wailers, but didn’t pull it off.

“It’s a song by Bob Marley — go figure,” said Castro after the ill fated performance.

Simon Cowell even warned poor Jason before the lambaste.

“Jason, stand back,” Simon said. “That was utterly atrocious. That is a song you do not touch. The arrangement was atrocious, the performing and the singing was as bad as I ever heard. That was like a first round audition massacre. I don’t know what you were thinking.”

Divorce Court Features Televangelists

Even God wasn’t enough to keep Televangelist Juanita Bynum married to Thomas W. Weeks III.

Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks III in happier times.

The couple is going to get divorced in a two episode Divorce Court show. Mr. Weeks III assaulted Juanita and now she wants out. According to police reports he kicked, stomped and choked her in an Atlanta hotel parking lot last August. He was sentenced to three years probation for the assault.

Juanita Bynum told the judge:

“I was just trying to make it work because I don’t like losing relationships,” Bynum told Judge Lynn Toler, who hears cases on the syndicated show distributed by Twentieth Television. “All of this just kept getting swept under the rug … So you begin to adapt to a very wrong and very unhealthy marriage.”

Bynum and Weeks will present their case in Divorce Court on Thursday and Friday of this week.

Bynum is a former hairdresser and flight attendant who became a Pentecostal evangelist, author and gospel singer. Weeks is the founder of Global Destiny churches.

Viacom, MGM And Lionsgate To Enter Premium Cable Space

Viacom, MGM and Lionsgate have announced a deal that will introduce them to the competitive premium cable and video-on-demand space. Industry pundits are unsure whether the offering is a legitimate one, or is simply a tactic by the companies to negotiate better terms with Showtime.

Conspiracists see clues to the phantom-channel theory everywhere including the suspicious lack of detail in the launch announcement, which was oddly scheduled on a Sunday afternoon — read by some as an attempt to evade scrutiny in the media or on Wall Street.

Viacom had no comment on the suggestion, but a source close to the studios said, “This is a real venture.”

More details are expected to emerge shortly. CBS and Showtime have been undergoing a number of changes in recent years and analysts say Showtime now makes most of their revenue from original programming the create.

Did You Miss Your Favorite TV Show? Catch It On Hulu!

Thank goodness for technology! Thirty years ago if you missed a television show, you were out of luck.

Now if you miss a television show Hulu.com gives you another opportunity to tune in on “your time” to an extensive lineup of TV shows and movies. You’ll find series like Arrested Development, Fox News Specials, 30 Rock and the Westminster Dog Show.

I decided to give Hulu a try and see how it worked. There was no required software download, so this was a bonus. I decided to check out a clip. It downloaded pretty fast and ran okay on my cable connection, but the viewing screen is nothing like watching a large screen TV. In fact, the viewing
space is pretty small and every show has an advertisement.

It isn’t a bad idea.. hopefully with some development they’ll work some of the flaws out and it’ll be a viable way to watch TV later (or again.)

What’s in it for the winner? An all-access pass to the VIP section of the VIP section and the chance to hang out with Paris Hilton and her little dogs, too.
