One of the most anticipated events to take place on cable television in recent memory was the much hyped “Rain vs. Stephen Colbert Dance-off” on the Colbert Report on the Comedy Channel.

Stephen Colbert had been ticked off that Rain was higher ranked than he was on the Time Magazine poll of the most influential people list. So this was the only way to resolve their rivalry- a dance consest.

Pretty funny - enjoy….

Tony Award and Academy Award winner, Whoopi Goldberg, will host the 62nd Annual Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards® on Sunday, June 15 live from Radio City Music Hall.

The Tony Awards will air live on CBS from 8:00-11:00PM (ET/PT time delay).

Whoopi Goldberg said:

“I’m very excited to be hosting the Tony Awards… I love Broadway and I’m thrilled to be doing anything for the first time. I’m gonna have a blast.”

Whoopi Goldberg is one of a very elite group of artists who have won the Grammy (“Whoopi Goldberg,” 1985), the Academy Award (“Ghost,” 1991), the Golden Globe (“The Color Purple,” 1985 and “Ghost,” 1991), the Emmy (as host of AMC’s “Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel,” 2002) and a Tony (Producer of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” 2002), as well as countless other awards and honors as an actor, producer, host and author. She currently moderates “The View” on ABC.

Cock rock never tasted so sticky sweet as Def Leppard, whose patented hyper-produced metal lite ear candy dominated FM airwaves through much of the 1980’s. Joe Elliot’s trademark Union Jack tee shirts became the be-all, end-all in suburban mall-rocker sleeveless rebellion, and if you were rocking one in the McDonald’s parking lot with your shoulder-length hesher shag and dangly Spencer Gifts skull earring you were guaranteed to get your finger up some fishnet-and-leather-clad junior high Aqua Net junkie’s Jolly-Rancher-scented cooch.

Well tonight Def Leppard brought the rawk to the Mormon housewife set when they performed on Dancing with the Stars, and by “performed” I mean stood around with guitars in their hands while explosions went off and a pitch-perfect pre-recorded version of their 1987 hit “Pour Some Sugar on Me” played over the TV. I guess in today’s age of Mileys and Britneys and Shitneys and Jonas Brothers, the only way for rock’s dinosaurs to stay relevant is to pretend they don’t actually know how to play their instruments.

But don’t despair, glam fans. The Leps also played a few actual notes from their latest single “Nine Lives” off their new album “Songs from the Sparkle Lounge.” Sure, the chorus was all backing tracks, and drummer Rick Allen didn’t even need his three remaining limbs to play the entirely sequenced drum track, but I’m 75% certain the guitar solo was the real deal.

“American Idol” hottie Kristy Lee Cook from Selma, Oregon with the perfect body and face is out. No more American love for her on the seventh season of “American Idol”

And she did with class serenading Simon Cowell, one of her harshest critics as she departed en route to get her horse that she sold to raise the money to auditon back from the guy she sold it to.

Brooke White, the Mormon LDS support mediocre singer was in the Bottom 3, but the Mormon legions were strong and Kristy Lee Cook was defeated as a consequence.

Now those who remain include Jason Castro, Syesha Mercado, Brooke White, Carly Smithson, David Cook and David Archuleta. A pretty solid 6 if you ask me. I think the 3 men are stronger than the 3 remaining women, but it will be interesting to see in what order the they go down.

The number 1 rated show in America garnered a season high 36 million votes this week featuring the songs of Mariah Carey who is trying to launch her new album “E=MC2.” Next week, British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is scheduled to coach the six finalists in a program of musical tunes.

My prediction is that Syesha Mercado will be the next to go, followed by Carly Smithson, followed by Jason Castro, followed by Brooke White, followed by David Cook with Archuleta as the winner. I reserve the rights to adjust next week though!
