John Stamos took to Twitter to address the rumour that he’ll be replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men:

“Contrary to the rumors, i am not replacing charlie sheen on two and half men. however, martin sheen has asked me to be his son.”

I think John Stamos might actually be a good fit. Or even better than Charlie Sheen. Not sure if they’d keep him in that role or of suddenly a new character would just show up and fill in void, but I think Warner Brother would be smart to keep rolling with it.

Rob Lowe is also rumoured to be in talks for the role and I think he’d also be a good fit.

In other Charlie Sheen news – he is still crazy and is still threatening people.

Stacey: I don’t know.  I just don’t buy John as a “bad boy”.  And playing Uncle Jessie on Full House doesn’t count.

Rob Lowe I could buy.  But I hate him so hopefully they don’t go with that.

I know there is a lot of money to be made off of this but maybe they should just let this show die.

Tanya: Why do you hate Rob Lowe?

If you haven’t been following the Charlie Sheen drama this week you must not been on the internet at all. Remember how he was going to clean up his drug problem? It didn’t go so well. Charlie was on a plane this afternoon with Brooke Mueller, his new girlfriend, and a porn star headed to the Bahamas when he gave an interview and slammed the producer of Two and a Half Men:

“There was a whole firestorm yesterday about Brooke being part of our crew and let me just say this, this is all I’m going to say about it. where there were four there are now three,” Sheen said. “Goodbye Brooke. Good luck in your travels. You’re going to need it badly.”
Alex Jones then asked: “So Brooke did go alone with you but she’s not there now?”
Sheen: “No she’s not here now. And we are. I don’t know winning anyone. Rhymes with winning. Yeah that would be us. Sorry, didn’t make the rules.”

Sheen wants to fight him in “the octagon” and “If he wins, then he can leave MY show!”
Charlie said, “I violently hate Chaim Levine (Chuck Lorre). He’s a stupid, stupid little man and a p**sy punk that I’d never want to be like.” Charlie adds, “That’s me being polite.”
“All these guys told me to ‘clean it up.’ Well this is me cleaning it the f**k up. … That piece of s**t [Lorre] took money out of my pocket, my family’s pocket, and, most importantly, my second family — my crew’s pocket.”
Charlie adds, “You can tell him [Lorre] one thing. I own him.”

Lorre responded by cancelling Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season which pissed Charlie Sheen off even more:

What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows … I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.

Remember these are my people … not yours…we will continue on together…

Charlie Sheen

“Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists”. Love it. Imagine a world where all of our disputes were written in open letter through the media by drug crazed loonies. … (side note: that’s probably what high school is like for teens on Facebook)

I am officially going to declare Charlie Sheen back on the cocaine, and Brooke Mueller too for even considering getting on a plane with him, and predict that while this is not going to end well, it will end full of gossip. Stay tuned.

Stacey: Ummm, no.  This is not cocaine.  This has got to be crack.  This is far too crazy to just be coke or booze…but who knows.  Maybe he IS clean and just TOTALLY CRAZY!

For the record, this story and everything about it is pretty much my favorite thing ever.  It is making my life.

Miley Cyrus is signed on to host Saturday Night Live and I am SOOO hoping that they get her in on The Miley Cyrus Show with Vanessa Bayer. Maybe Miley & Miley? No, that wouldn’t be great. Maybe Miley could be the host and play up the ditsyness? I’ll leave it to the folks at SNL to come up with something awesome, but I’m actually looking forward to this.

Justin Bieber is on David Letterman tonight and they’ve offered us a “sneak peak” of the Top 10 List. Bieber is actually kind of endearing in it. And did you know this kid can drum? From the looks of it he knows what he’s doing (but the only drumming I do is on Rock Band so I might not know what I’m talking about on this one).

Beavis & Butt-head are returning to MTV. Seriously. Now I got a great deal of enjoyment from Beavis & Butt-head back in the day (I was in Jr High when it was popular, don’t judge me) but I don’t think this needs to happen. We’ve got enough retarded shows on MTV… Wait a minute… maybe MTV is trying to bring a little class back to TV after the whole Jersey Shore thing. Is Beavis & Butt-head classier than Jersey Shore? Maybe. B&B also has some music videos in each episode so maybe this is how MTV is bringing the “music” back to music television.

Stacey: Oh, we had to know this was coming since everything is recycled.  Now that the re-fad of the 80′s is almost over, it’s on the the 90′s!  Who can’t wait to bust out their Doc Martins, plaid shirts, and Nirvana cds?

Alright.  I could accept it when Ryan Murphy was taking knocks at Kings of Leon…but now he is digging at Slash.  Apparently Glee also asked Slash to release the rights for some GnR songs to which Slash said hellz no!

“We got asked about that (Glee) once already but it got turned down… Glee is worse than Grease and Grease is bad enough…”

Apparently, Ryan Murphy can’t handle that someone wouldn’t want to be on his show:

“Usually I find that people who make those comments, their careers are over; they’re uneducated and quite stupid”

Again with the absurd assumptions.  Just because someone doesn’t like the show doesn’t make them uneducated or dumb.  Because I think Glee sucks as and I am both educated and intelligent.

This Murphy dude seems so wrapped up in what other people think that is actually a little sad.  Dude, people are allowed to not like different things. People are allowed to have different opinions.  Just because someone doesn’t agree with you does not make them stupid.  Furthermore, just because they think the show is crap, doesn’t make it true.  And they are talking about the show, not you personally!  They aren’t saying they don’t like you.

For example, someone could tell me that they absolutely hate this site and think it is the biggest piece of crap on the Internet.  Do you know what I would think about that?  Who cares, because I love it!  Would it make me want to lash out at that person because they don’t like it?  No.  Because it has no barring what so ever on me.

Each time Ryan lashes out at someone it just makes him seem like a small, petty man who’s entire self worth is hinged on what others thing of him and his show.

For the record though, 100 years from now, when people are looking back on what really mattered in music, what really influenced others and stood as innovative and timeless, Slash’s music will still be remembered and will still be held up as a measuring stick for others.  No one is going to remember Glee.  And if they do, it will be “remember that show that got so big for its britches that it actually thought it was better than Slash?”.  Ya.  That’s how they’ll be remembered.

Tanya: Making a TV show about some (adult) kids who use music to cope does not make you better than the people who made the music in the first place. Why doesn’t Ryan Murphy understand that?

Back in the day artists were able to make music and have it sell on the basis of it being good because there were radio stations who would pick it up, music video channels that would play the videos, and people who would buy albums and support the industry. If you sold the rights to your songs to a TV show, commercial, or whatever you’ve be considered a sell out and other musicians would definitely hold that against you. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the musicians who deny their songs to Glee are rockers because that’s just the type of mentality that they have.

What’s changing now is that record companies aren’t making money off promoting their artists anymore so unless the artists find a way to sell out and have a song or two of theirs commercialized on a show like Glee or on a commercial (like Fiest did with Apple), or to find a way to become a YouTube viral sensation to get any sort of demand for their music (like Justin Bieber did) they’re just never going to get any publicity and never make it as successful musicians. Slash is lucky that his audience is a little older and tend to purchase CDs instead of downloading and that he is such a recognizable name that when he has an album come out people will see it in the store and buy even if his record company puts absolutely no money into promoting the fact that he has a new album out.

If I were a current rocker I wouldn’t sell my songs to Glee. It’s the epitome of selling out. If I’m a pop star it’s pretty much given that I already am a sell out so I’d do it in a heartbeat. In fact, if I was any other genre than rock I’d realize that a paycheck is a paycheck and with music not really selling anymore I should take what I can get. It’s also better exposure than anything my record label can offer me.

I cannot wait to see this! As part of Steve Carell’s exit from the Office the producers are bringing in Will Farrell as the manager of another Dunder Milfflin branch to help smooth the transition.

“We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star and we turned him into a television star,” jokes executive producer Paul Lieberstein (the guy who plays Toby) told Entertainment Weekly. “We are proud to continue The Office‘s tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see: tremendous raw sexuality.”

I’m really interested to see where the Office goes without Steve Carell – I think it’s got a lot of potential to improve without Michael Scott but they’re going to have to do something good at the start of the season to keep it from getting stale fast.

Stacey: I never ever ever watch The Office but I would definitly tune in for some Will Farrell.  For the exact reason they mentioned.  It’s like they read my mind.

Glee creator, Ryan Murphy, on Kings of Leon, The Hollywood Reporter:

“F— you, Kings of Leon. They’re self-centered a–holes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It’s like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.”

Seriously, Kings of Leon may have dissed Glee but that is because Glee sucks.  And the fact that Ryan has stretched his arguement to a ridiculous degree in order to prove his point (called Reductio ad absurdum) just makes him look like a big baby.

Just because Kings of Leon didn’t want to be on Glee doesn’t mean they “hate on arts education”.  It just means they hate on a show that capitalizes on the popularity of the musicians that they feature.  And while the initial reason that Ryan started Glee is to encourage kids to join an actual glee club, it has now been consumed by the entertainment industry and what they really want to do is make money.  So don’t patronize us with your “it’s all for the kids” crap.  It’s all for the dollar sign and Kings of Leon was a way for the show to make more money, sell more cds.  At least Kings of Leon still has enough integrity to say no to something that doesn’t fall in line with who they are.

Just one more reason that I don’t like Glee.

PS.  For someone so concerned with the kids, Saying “F–k you” is really great language.

Tanya: Here’s how Kings of Leon responded to this mess:

“This whole Glee thing is a shock to us. It’s gotten out of hand. At the time of the request, we hadn’t even seen the show. It came at the end of that record cycle, and we were over promoting [“Use Somebody”]. This was never meant as a slap in the face to Glee or to music education or to fans of the show. We’re not sure where the anger is coming from.”

Ryan Murphy is making this a way bigger deal than it is so that 1. more artists feel pressured into giving their music to the show, 2. they can drum up more publicity for the show, 3. so they can sell more CDs, and 4. because he seems like a giant D-bag.

And Stacey, Glee doesn’t suck. Just the guy who created it does.

I didn’t watch the Golden Globes last night, but after watching Ricky Gervais’ opening monologue I kinda wish I had. This is hilarious!!

Stacey: OMG he was so funny.  He took the shots that we all wish the hosts would take.  Was it a little offside?  YES!  And that is what made it funny.  These things are normally filled with butt kissing and brown nosing and finally, FINALLY someone said what we all wish we could say.  Like, making fun of The Tourist?  Please.  That was right on par.  The movie was nominated in the category of musical or comedy.  Come on!  We all know why it was nominated…to get the stars to the show. 

What annoyed me was all the groaning, like people were offended or something.  Those celebs are far too sensitive. 

Ricki did an awesome job.  And there are those out there (like my hubby) who wanted to watch it strictly because he wanted to see what Ricki had to say.  I think he did a great job.  LOVE!

This is what JWoww from Jersey Shore wore on New Years Eve.   JWoww, who’s real name is Jenni Farley, was going to wear even less than this.  According to Us Weekly, her management made her put on the jacket before going on TV.

When I see this picture it makes me think of that Usher song:

Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow
Honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow
Girl you know i’m loving your, loving your style
Check, check, check, check, check, checking you out

You all know I love the trashy girls.  I secretly watch Jersey Shore just so I can see JWoww.  We should feel lucky that she is wearing anything to cover her nipples.
