-Michael Strahan was back again yesterday with Kelly on LIVE WITH KELLY and I am pretty sure that Derek Hough who was Monday's co-host, had been on before too, so my new theory is that we are now witnessing the 2nd round of "call backs" among some of the true contenders...OUTFIT UPDATE... orange and lime green necklace was gone, Kelly's dress was sorta okay, except it had one of those 80's triangle flaps at the neck...Sure, I had a few of  those flap shirts back in the day, but did they make a comeback?  Michael Strahan was really good and really funny this time, but of course, it was the perfect time for him to come back with post SUPERBOWL stories and opinions etc.  Kelly now has a website that you can go on and “like” or comment on…check it out here:



How awesome was Ricky Martin on GLEE last night?  I loved how they worked his pearly white perfect teeth into the storyline, and who knew NeNe Leekes could be soooo funny?  Lots of interesting song choices, but I think my favorite was Ricky and Santana doing Madonna’s La Isla Bonita. Only on GLEE could they get away with something like a "Taint Misbehavin" pamphlet (recommending male hygiene) and the use of the word Vagina in multiple sentences and having it all be hilarious.  Is Sue Sylvester really going to be able to give birth?  According to my calculations she would, in fact, have to use someone else's Vajayjay for that to actually happen.  Did you catch those Mexican hipster boots the guys wore during "Hero"? What do you think the shoe boxes for those things are like?  Do you need a special closet to fit them in?  How do you carry them home from the store?  All of these questions and no answers...

Not such a funny episode of JOAN AND MELISSA this week at all.  Joan, Melissa, Cooper and Jason were all supposed to be in a photo shoot together for a "Happy Hollywood Family story" which ended up not so happy... Joan and Melissa had a fight and then Melissa and Jason had a fight, and then Joan and Jason had a fight and then Joan's joke writer's Lynne and Conrad had a fight...not such a Happy Hollywood family at all.  Prior to all of this fighting, we did find out that Melissa and Jason were trying to have a baby via fertility drugs, which I am assuming is now over since they have broken up and Melissa is dating the CEO of a porno company. (NOT JUDGING...just reporting)

PARENTHOOD was back...yeah! We knew that Amber and little Bob, I mean Bob Little, would hook up.  I am really hoping that Amber and Bob Little prevail here and the writers don’t take the easy route and go with the politician that sleeps with his intern and loses everything storyline…Amber is finding herself and if this too explodes, can she recover? So stressful…but if you want stress…then let’s look at the Zoe, Joel & Julia thing with the adoption…will Zoe give them the baby or not?  Honestly I don’t even think the writers know yet…all I know is that if Julia doesn’t get this baby, she can join Amber at the shrinks office.  I don’t know if you guys have experienced this when you watch Jason Ritter in this show, but honestly there are sometimes you just think it is his dad, John…they have so many of the same mannerisms it’s kinda spooky.

No idea how I fit RINGER in last night…but I managed (there are still quite a few shows in my DVR from last night though).  It’s too hard to pass up because it is just so juicy and finally last night, the real Sioban proved to Henry that she was who she said she was, she was still pregnant and she still loves him.  But, I am trying to remember…is she still pregnant?  Pretty soon she better start showing some bumpage…if she were Jennifer Anniston, the tabloids would be printing photos with the “bump/no bump” comparison shots…this show is so underrated…it really needs a larger audience…if you aren’t watching…check it out online when you have time.

So, this is what I didn’t get to last night…INKMASTER, HART OF DIXIE, DOWNTON ABBEY (from Sunday), THE RIVER, BEING HUMAN and a bunch of LYING GAMES…tonight, I have a HUGE decision to make…IDOL or no IDOL?  THE VOICE is SO good…I think I need to declare my loyalty to just one reality/singing/competition show…there just isn’t enough hours for both of these.  I will let you know what happens tomorrow.

-Verizon and Redbox getting together to take on Netflix. Verizon will create a new digital video streaming and download service, while Redbox will offer a complementary physical DVD and Blu-ray rental option. So far, the companies have only confirmed that this new venture will offer a subscription-based digital streaming service and that it will be available for multiple devices and platforms. Additional information will be revealed "in the coming months." The service is slated to be introduced in the second half of 2012. Verizon will own a 65% stake in the venture. Verizon had been rumored for the last several months to be considering a video streaming service that would serve as a direct challenger to Netflix. Redbox is owned by Coinstar…YEAH!  I HATE NETFLIX…so happy Verizon is taking them on…now just don’t raise your prices a million percent, split the company into 2 services with a weird name and not offer all titles up for streaming and everyone will love you!

-Smartphone shipments exceeded those of personal computers, which include laptops, tablets, netbooks and desktops, for the first time in 2011,
·         Last year, 158.8 million smartphones were shipped globally in the fourth quarter, adding to 487.7 million total shipments over the whole year.
·         120.2 million PC devices shipped in the fourth quarter of 2011, and 414.6 million over the whole year.
·         The 2011 smartphone shipment numbers represented a 63% increase over 2010, in which 299.7 million smartphones were sold.
·         The global PC market, on the other hand, only witnessed a 15% year-over-year growth.
·         Bottomline…everyone is buying a lot of Smartphones over anything else.

-We haven’t had a fun Hollywood baby name in a while…but leave it to Robert Downey Jr to get us all back on track.  He and his wife named their baby boy, Exton Elias Downey…okay then

I love this chart!  I am 100% guilty of doing ALL of them!  No wonder why I think I always have adult A.D.D.

-We recapped all things SUPERBOWL over the past few days, but I wanted to fill you in on PUPPY BOWL!
·         8.7 million unique total viewers across the entire 12 hour marathon
·         Animalplanet.com had it’s single highest traffic day ever with 5.5 million page views
·         1.4 million PUPPY BOWL videos streamed
·         It was number on the social TV rankers as well

Wednesday’s Grammy Trivia Question: Ricky Martin was awesome on last night's episode of GLEE, but his solo career exploded with a show stopping performance of what song at the 1999 Grammy's Awards?  (Need to come clean…I knew the song…but I didn’t know the year, so I had to Google that) I can’t believe that was 14 years ago!
