on my radar: flatlining


Trivia time...

What do these all have in common?

1. The Roman Empire

2. 2007 Cleveland Indians

3. The ratings for Viva Mclaughlin

4. Britney's hope for custody of her children

5. Minneapolis Bridge

6. Marie Osmond


What are famous collapses?


It seems that collapsing is all the rage this week, whether it be the cancellation of CBS's "Viva McLaughlin" after just two episodes and flat ratings, the epic fold on the ball diamond that has many wondering if the Cleveland team seems better poised to be relocated and renamed "the Minneapolis Bridges", the inability of Ms. Spears to take note of her court appointed overseer, leaving the appointee to claim she was treated like a "house plant"; too bad for Britney, this plant is about to become a nightmare cactus prickling her right in the ass (as in cu"ass"tudy of her kids) and flatten her hopes at getting the kids back, or the "dance till ya drop" philosophy that Marie Osmond took literally on Monday's "Dancing with the Stars", collapsing after her performance, on live TV.


What to do about this nasty trend? Go to the movies and support your Hollywood stars! The past two weeks have brutal for the big names (yes, a collapse at the box office started it all...) and it's as plain as the supenders on Larry King's pants that what happens in Hollywood spreads to everywhere...so go see a movie to stop the demise of all that is still standing...

Not to mention it's gotten pretty decent reviews! I always get the Violent Femmes "Gone daddy gone" stuck in my head when I hear the movie title...guess that's better than something like "Up Up and away"...

Is this a pop culture post? Are you two talking about The Hills again? I did hear about what's her butt fainting. Tom Bergeron is a swell guy.
