Hello,
Joe Jackson is claiming his son, Michael, is the father of Norwegian rapper Omer Bhatti. He has such conclusive proof as Bhatti "dances like a Jackson". OK now I'm convinced. Bhatti also sat with the Jackson family at Michael's funeral, maybe there is some truth to the rumor. I don't know whether Michael Jackson is the father of Bhatti and I don't think that matters to Joe Jackson. I think Joe Jackson has been missing the spotlight and he seized an opportunity to get back into the public eye. Joe Jackson needs to go away.
I read online in several places about Eminem dissing Mariah Carey. Seriously how does this idiot still get press? I've never been a fan of his, but has he done anything since "8 Mile". A lot of people praised that movie, but that movie sucked. Eminem, please go get Joe Jackson and both of you go away. (Although I did enjoy Eminem's work with Bruno's butt at the MTV Movie awards.)
As I was driving to and from work yesterday I was listening to the amazing "Purple Rain". There is not a weak song on that whole soundtrack. If Prince had added other songs it would have ruined the perfection of that CD. I was thinking why is that CD still so amazing, 25 years after it's release. I think the reason is the CD still sounds so relevant. If that CD just came out now, I still think it would be a huge hit now. It would explode up any music going. Prince vs. Kanye, please that isn't even a contest. It's too bad Prince does not have that greatness still. Of course he's still alive so maybe he will find his groove again.
Tonight I started watching the new version of "Battlestar Galactica". I watched the first three hours of Season 1, those three hours are actually a miniseries. They aren't officially any episodes of Season 1. (I actually remember watching the original series back in 1978.) It's a pretty good show and very entertaining, although it did seem to go on longer than needed. I know it is too late now but they could have added more humor to it. I like that the new Cylons look like humans and infiltrate the Battlestar Galactica itself. The story is pretty good and intense. Twice so far decisions had to be made to let a minority of people die, for the majority of people to live. There are a lot of similarities between this series and the "Terminator" movies
For a TV show, the cast is pretty amazing. Edward James Olmos plays Admiral William Adama. He has a back story dealing with one son who has died and one son who hates him for that. Mary McDonnell, who plays President Laura Roslin. After the destruction of Caprica, she goes from 43rd in the line of succession to the President of the colonies. That's quite a big jump from being the Secretary of Education. Both of these actors are fantastic and I like how the leaders aren't old white guys. They actually have a woman and a Latino as the leaders. (This all happened before the Obama revolution.) In fact the "old white guy" is the Battlestar Galactica's commanding officer, Col. Tigh. He's extremely flawed, an alcoholic who is weak. I'm afraid he's going to let down the colonies eventually. (If that is old news I apologize, I'm a newby to the revamped "Battlestar Galactica".) Also for a sci-fi nerd show, it is surprisingly sexy with Tricia Helfer vamping at full bore. To acknowledge my nerdiness, I have added a piece of masking tape to my glasses.
The Cylons are just going to keep on coming, so the Colonies only hope is find what may or may not be the mythical Earth.
Throughout the first three seasons there is 73 episodes plus the miniseries that is the foundation for the whole show. There are a total of 5 seasons, although the SciFi channel calls Season 5 Season 4 or Season 4.5. Yeah it's just a tad bit confusing. "Galactica" websites don't help much to eliminate the confusion either. This will be a continuing topic for quite some time on my blog. I've only seen the miniseries so far and I haven't started watching the official beginning of Season 1 yet.
