Betty White will host Saturday Night Live


Well it is finally here - Betty White is hosting this week's Saturday Night Live with Jay-Z. Betty appearance on SNL is all because of a social networking campaign that NBC could not ignore. At the age of 88, I wonder if Betty is the oldest host that SNL has ever had? Definitely a different look and approach for SNL. Show airs Saturday night on NBC.

Glee


Glee is Fox's newest creation that is taking the world by storm. Since the show airs after American Idol on Tuesdays I have been watching it and have been enjoying the music. I can honestly say that I'm not a die hard fan, but it is a good show. Check out the Total Eclipse of the Heart song that was performed this past week - click here.

If you have never seen the show I will fill you in that each week the cast sings a variety of music, though I have not heard country yet. :) One week the cast did a tribute to Madonna, so Britney Spears' manager, Adam Leber, has started working via twitter to get support for a Britney-themed episode of Glee. Well one of the stars of the show, Matthew Morrison, let "Weekly" magazine now how he feels about it, quote "That's a rumor her manager started. I hope our show doesn't go along that route." And I have to say I could not agree more, but you never know, we will have to wait and see.

American Idol


Well Aaron Kelly is gone even though I think it should have been Casey, but I cannot complain too much because I did not vote. I did really enjoyed the performances this past week even though many people did not except I think most would agree with me that Casey's performance was probably the worst.

Anyway we must move on to this week and the four remaining contestants that will be singing movie themes with the help of Jamie Foxx. I'm looking forward to another great week of Idol.
Oh and did you hear that Bon Jovi and Daughtry are set to perform on Wednesday's Idol? Two good nights of Idol, the dishes and the clothes can wait until Thursday night. Read more on Idol by clicking here.
