2013 Miss Utah Marissa Powell Messes Up Miss USA Question
The crazy thing is given her looks, she will either be anchoring in a major news market one day or running for political office one day; and people wonder why the talent pool of journalists and politicians seems to have gone down hill over the years.

"Community’ is All About The Show For Yvette Nicole Brown"
During the in-depth interview with the Akron Beacon Journal's Rich Heldenfels , Yvette Nicole Brown not only talked about the broadening of her character Shirley on this season of "Community", but also the plight of actresses over a size 10:
"...Brown is a good-looking woman but not long ago received a tweet from a fan saying that her father sees Brown and asks “how do they let fat people like this on tv.” And this in a medium where chubby guys have often starred in sitcoms opposite model-thin wives, a condition TV critic Lisa de Moraes dubbed “male pattern optimism.”
“I am just about sick of this weight situation,” Brown said. “I guess because people can’t be racist anymore, can’t be homophobic anymore, they realize the last thing they can do is be hateful about someone not being a size zero,
“Look at the world. I am the norm. So, if I’m sitting at home in Ohio watching TV, I want to see me. I think it’s great that they’re letting people over a size 12 on television. … What does my weight have to do with what I have to say, or if I’m smart, or if I’m funny? … I don’t get it. I am personally offended by it. I am offended for anybody over a size 10. I am offended by the implication that because you’re chubby you don’t belong. How is that different from saying because you’re black you don’t belong, because you’re gay you don’t belong? It’s that same garbage, and I’m sick of it. I will speak on it every chance I get. …
“Every chubby girl I see on TV for the most part are gorgeous women. I’m not putting myself in there — but look at Melissa McCarthy. Her face is amazing. Whatever size she is, she’s going to be gorgeous. And I’m trying to figure out why beauty is negated by size. … I hate the idea that we are diminished because we happen to like bacon,” she said with a laugh. “Why do I become less of a person because I enjoy the beautiful pork the Lord has put on the earth?”

Three Thoughts on: Nashville, Jersey Shore and Anna Chulmsky
I'm starting a new thing this week, where I give my random thoughts on the world of popular culture.
I snagged this idea from the Cleveland "Queen of Media" Leah Haslage, Life with Leah blog, so I hope she doesn't sue me for co-opting her weekly segment, but I'm sure she'll forgive me...I hope.
Alright let's get started!
1.) I really dig.....ABC's new show Nashville.
Don't be put off if you are not country fan because the soapy "Nashville" is more story-driven than it is music driven.
Although the base of "Nashville" is around country music, its core really built around on and off stage trappings, complexities and shadiness of the music industry, (to paraphrase Allen Iverson when he was defending his unreleased rap album back in the day : "If you are into sex, greed and backstabbing this show is for you!")
Trust me, once you get into the storylines and watch the performances by Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, you will see very quickly realize that "Nashville" is more way more "Dallas" than it is "Hee Haw."
2.) I'm shocked by.... the stellar return of Anna Chulmsky
Who knew the little girl from the 90's kid film "My Girl" with Macaulay Culkin would turn a jaw dropping performance playing a "50 Shades of Grey" inspired author on Law & Order SVU along with her star turn on HBO's Veep.
Chulmsky who seemingly disappeared after "My Girl" (she attended the University of Chicago, majoring in International Studies) basically looks the same, but she has added more acting depth while not carrying the off-screen baggage that has befallen many child stars into adulthood.
If only we could say the same for Culkin
3.) I'm not cool with...the two hour version of Jersey Shore.
I still like Snookie, "The Sitch" and the rest of the "Jersey Shore" crew, but asking me to devote two hours each week to "Gym, Tan, Laundry" is a bit much to ask.
However, I can say the same for "X-Factor", "The Voice", "Dancing with The Stars" and other programs that are asking viewers to dedicate two-three hours each week for one show.
One of the reasons why "Survivor" and the "Amazing Race" on CBS has maintained their ratings dominance is because both them have remained one hour formats. By doing so, they are letting their viewers know that they won't manipulate their show for sake of advertising dollars, which is basically the reason why for the bloated two hour format.
Yet in network's haste to squeeze as much money as they can out of their franchises as possible, the ratings of these two hour shows including those "Jersey Shore" series finale have begun to dip (or maybe viewers don't like the fact the cast have matured some) .
Although you can't blame the networks for making money, If they continue to manipulate the audience, these two hour shows will quickly end up being no-hour shows in the not so distant future.
What are your thoughts on two hour shows?

Al Roker Frozen on "Today Show" For 17 Seconds! (Video)
When I went to church as a kid and I heard our pastor talk about the "Holy Ghost", people would jump up and down from their pews and run through the aisles, but when Savannah Guthrie said it on the Today Show, Al Roker's response was the complete opposite.
Big Al's response was funny and creepy at the same d@mn time!
