"At a voting precinct in Chicago yesterday, a vote-scanning machine rejected 20 paper ballots that voters had used “magic” invisible ink pens to fill out."Evidently, Chicago voters had mistakenly (and idiotically) used the tablet for the electronic voting machines in order to write on paper ballets. Wonkette has the story.
Wondering where platinum-follicled, dragon-unleashing SisQo (né Mark Althavean Andrews), sometimes judge of Most Talented Kids, former host of SisQo's Shakedown has gone? The old business model™ and paradigm shifts have held him back! He's now gold-haired wanna-be crooner, vying to become the biggest thing country music has ever seen. The derriere-adoring will be competing against a rag-tag group of six(6!) other has-beens will test their physical and mental agility to prove they are still relevant, and get a chance to have a song produced by John Rich of country duo "Big & Rich".
Let's meet our "celebrities"! Chart attackin' and heart attackin' Bobby Brown, former Wilson Philips member and author Carnie Philips, a scary blonde tranny , Juilio Iglesias Jr., Diana DeGarmo (who?), and Marcia Brady round out the cast for what's sure to be the most revitalizing move a television network has made since the renewal of American Gladiators.
Says the network that brought you My Big Redneck Wedding and Trick My Truck:
"Each celebrity will be paired up with some of Nashville's finest songwriters in an attempt to prepare them for a career in country music. In each episode, the cast competes against each other in challenges that will test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle, both on and off the stage. At the end of the two weeks, the artist who is most prepared to impress a country audience, as determined by Rich, will record and release a song."
What does adapting to a country music lifestyle entail? Um...stuff like driving ATVs(which is "metal" and "confusing!") and...singing? We'll have to just sit and wait until the premiere, Friday night at 8 on CMT!
Or, you know, watch all the performances on grainy cameraphone videos on YouTube! Might I add, a youtube which features comments from youtube users such as "IdolSeacrest", "CountryMusikFan", and "Dianafan100"(authentic sounding!), saying things like:
Here are four of the seven (sorry Julio, Carnie, and Marcia Brady fans), in all their muffled audio and lossy framerate glory:
