Nicki Minaj Says "Good Morning America!" With a Nip Slip

Adolescent boys, rejoice: Nicki Minaj has joined countless celebrities, in the ranks of the Nip Slip Brigade.

Earlier today, Nicki Minaj put on a show for ABC's Good Morning America, as part of their 2011 Summer Concert Series, where she proceeded to show a little more than the Parents TV Council would have liked.

Get it girl

The PTC is up in arms, as usual, telling TMZ:

"For the umpteenth time in recent memory, a morning news show has included inappropriate content for children and families... Instead of asking for forgiveness, they need to stop apologizing, and implement the five second delay that so many Americans have been calling for.” ^[1]

In response, an ABC rep told TMZ:

"Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on GMA , the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones."

The ABC spokesperson then said:

"We are sorry that this occurred." ^[2]

That's it, ABC? You're "sorry"?!? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

How can you let certain regions of the country see Nicki's nipple, but not others? That's just discrimination, and as Americans, we should not stand for it!

WHO WANTS MORE?!?

Video - Jackie Evancho Appears on ABC’s 20/20 Super Human Segment

Last night, ABC’s 20/20 aired a segment during their Friday night show called “Super Humans Super Powers”.

Usually, super human powers are associated with brute force and amazing physical accomplishments, but the one person we were all waiting to see was 11-year-old crossover singer Jackie Evancho.

Hailed as the girl wonder – the little girl with the big voice, Jackie Evancho spoke about her amazing rise to stardom and her passion for singing.

And yes, you can see her passion – and so can everyone else. In fact, Evancho is already getting Grammy nodes for the 2012 Awards season.

And her popularity with her fans can clearly be seen in her current album sales.

During her 20/20 interview, Jackie talked about her family life and what it feels like to be up on the stage. She talks about her life when not performing and her thoughts on why she can do what she does so well.

Doctors believe her lungs and vocal chords are just like any other 11-year-old, but what makes Evancho different is her brain.

We agree.

Jackie was first discovered on the popular American television show “America’s Got Talent” two years ago, and even though she came in second place the world had seen an early glimpse of what Jackie would become.

Her debut album “Dream with me” is on track for gold and platinum status, and she has already worked with both Susan Boyle and Barbara Streisand on duets.

Her rendition of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” has become one of her signature songs and we suspect we have just heard, and seen, the beginning of young Jackie’s potential.

Teaming with Grammy winner David Foster has been a tremendous success for Evancho as he seems to be able to pull out her talent while at the same time remembering she is just a young girl.

We look forward to hearing more of this amazing young artist and wish her and her family the best of success.

And Jackie – we’ll see you at the Grammy’s

All My Children and One Life To Live Cancelled by ABC

An end of an era is upon us.

When I was growing up I would come home from school and “All My Children” would be on the television.

I was not into music yet, but I could recognize that theme song from anywhere in the house.

Today, ABC announced that two of its longest running soap operas, “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are coming to an end after almost 43 years of production.

“One Life To Live” started in 1968 and addressed many of the country’s social and economic issues, and it quickly became a hit with the “house wives” of the time and gave ABC the incentive to try their hand at another serial.

“All My Children” first aired in 1970. Like “One Life To Live”, “All My Children” focused on many of the country’s current and controversial issues. But instead of focusing on the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the show addressed social issues such as homosexuality, AIDS and abortion.

With almost 11,000 episodes each, the shows were famous for jump-starting the careers of many of Hollywood’s now famous people like;

Laurence Fishburne, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayden Panettiere, Ryan Phillippe, Brandon Routh, Blair Underwood, Tom Berenger, Mischa Barton, Kim Delaney, Josh Duhamel, Jesse McCartney, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lauren Holly, Christian Slater, Michelle Trachtenberg and Amanda Seyfried.

The trend over the last few years has been to move away from scripted daytime drama to a more comfortable daytime talk show format – think “Ellen” and “Oprah”.

The passing of the torch is complete and the daytime industry is now in the hands of our children.

Kids, you better not screw this up.

Chris Brown's Uncontrollable Rage is But a Distant Memory

This morning, Chris Brown made a scheduled appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America," to promote his new album, F.A.M.E.*

When the interviewer, Robin Roberts, touched on the topic of Brown's 2009 "domestic incident" with then-girlfriend, Rihanna, his blood began to boil.

Especially for a reporter, Robin was pretty nice in her approach to questions about the 2009 beating incident.  She didn't press the issue too hard, and didn't even mention the actual beating part; she simply asked Mr. Brown about the restraining order that Rihanna had against him (which was relaxed in February, so that Brown must now stay just 10 yards away from Rihanna, lowered from the initial 50 yards).

However, Brown continually skirted her questions, instead insisting that "everybody go get that album," and growing more and more angry and fidgety as the interview continued.

Here's a video of this morning's interview:

At the very end of this video clip, Chris Brown states that he does everything for his fans, and that he "could care less what anybody else thinks".  Who taught you English, homie??  Because that is NOT the correct phrasing of this oft-misused saying.  Clearly, Chris Brown meant to say that he "could not care less".  WHAT an idiot.  His whole "I'm the victim" mentality, and stupid, arrogant statements aside, this is the biggest issue I have with his GMA interview. 

But moving on: Apparently, Brown grew so angry during the interview, that after an incredibly auto-tuned performance of his single, Yeah 3X, he stormed off the stage, stomped off to his dressing room, and proceeded to throw a big ol' temper tantrum.  Brown raised such a ruckus in his dressing room, that the show's hair and makeup staff got scurred, and called security.

According to TMZ's^[1] infinite sources, Brown then decided to ditch his shirt, skip a second performance, which he was scheduled to record for ABC's website, and get all up in the grill of one of GMA's segment producers.

Clearly, Christopher Maurice Brown's former anger problems are a-okay and gone away.

F*** Shirts!

After Chris Brown and his enablers Team Breezy left the building, it was discovered that, in his fit of rage, Brown had used a chair to smash one of the exterior windows in his dressing room.  (ABC News has confirmed that the window was shattered, which is visible from outside of the building, at 43rd street and Broadway, in Manhattan.)

Here's a pic of the broken window: ^[1]

Isn't vandalism considered probation violation? UH OH!

BONUS: For a fist-pumping good time, watch this video of Chris Brown's GMA performance:

*Chris Brown stated that "F.A.M.E." stands for "Forgiving All My Enemies"
...Really, Señor Marrón? Ok, then.

People Still Watch The Bachelor?

Surprisingly, yes. But only desperate hooers, who enjoy watching other totally desperate hooers throw themselves at some lame-o.

Ever wondered what stupid looks like? Wonder no more!

The Bachelor's season finale aired last night, and according to USA TODAY, it had the show's lowest finale ratings in almost three years. Viewership was down 15% from last year's finale, but it was still the most-watched show on TV last night, with 13.8 million viewers. That just goes to show, there are A LOT of desperate hooers in our country. And think of all the desperate hooers that weren't even watching! The real figures must be staggering.

So, all o' you desperate hooers might be wondering:
1. Who got the final rose?
2. Will the couple stay together?
3. When's the wedding?
4. OMG, I totes heard the couple have already broken up since the finale was taped, is this true??
5. Are they back together??? Omg, I HOPE they are back together!!!
6. Am I totally lame?

SPOILER ALERT. I have all of the answers right here:
1. The blonde chick. I believe her name is Emily.
2. I don't care.
3. I don't care.
4. I don't care, but I believe this one's true.
5. I don't care, but I think they're back together. Seriously, just Google it.
6. Yes.

If you watch The Bachelor, I sincerely hope that I have deeply offended you.
