What a wild & wooly weekend it was, folks, in both the mainstream entertainment & pro wrestling worlds...so without further ado, although there was very little previous ado, lets roll the videotape!

FACTS OF LIFE STAR-LESBIAN!- When I first read this headline on one of the various websites, my heart started to race...could it be? Is this even possible?

Then, I started trying to break down the possibilities before reading the article- which one is most likely to, ehrm, share my tendencies?

Blair- snotty blonde, spoiled rotten, daddys girl- wouldn't happen. As close as she would have got was a drunken college kiss.

Tootie- cute little taste of caramel, loved the roller skates- I definitely got the impression, however, that she wasn't too interested in her housemates.

Natalie- chunky, nerdy, & insecure- there was a slight chance there, just out of lack of options, but, after the episode where she lost her viginity, she was pretty well a lock to stay with him, again, most likely due to lack of options.

JO- this is where my money was- tough, tomboyish, motorcycle rider, pretty yet rugged. Could easily envision her w ALL the other girls on the show, plus the females members of HEAD OF THE CLASS.
No brainer.

Chaz Bono- wasn't on show. no longer a female, so technically disqualified.

MOLLY RINGWALD?!- no dice.

Imagine my surprise when it was revealed that ,Geri, the cerebral palsy- inflicted cousin of Blair, was revealed, in her new autobiography, that SHE is, in fact, a lesbian.

I'm gonna throw my red beanbag here & for a review- does she truly count? Didn't she appear in like 5 episodes over the entire run? Not to mention, what a letdown.....plus, I refuse to make jokes about someone who has had to overcome so many real obstacles in her life.

I, and likely about 5,000 others, tuned in this past saturday night to a somewhat lost genre, of the "has been in a low budget film " ilk , as 80's pop stars Debbie Gibson & Tiffany joined forces to create the SyFy "Original" film, Gatoroid vs Mega Python!!!!

Heres my quick & candid thoughts on this instant classic:

1) the special effects were, in a word, riveting- I literally felt like the Mega Python was literally about to jump thru the  tv screen
2) former daytime star A Martinez was about as credible as Father Guido Sarducci.
3) Debbie Gibson needs to eat a few meals
4) Tiffany could stand to eat a few fewer meals
5) Mickey Dolantz of the Monkees looked like Joe Cocker

I understand a sequel may be in the works- God, I hope!

Finally folks, Alberto Del Rio, Mexican superstar, &, as you may recall, one of my odds on favorites, won the annual WWE Royal Rumble, thus securing himself a world championship shot at Wrestlemania.

Del Rio increasingly became my favorite in recent weeks, due to his constant losses & embarassments at the hands of Shawn Michaels, R Truth, & others.

The WWE hand is know starting to show for Wrestlemania, and thus far, its shaping up like this:
World Title: Edge vs Del Rio
WWE title: Miz vs. Cena
Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes

Based on tv from this past friday, I'm pretty confident that Rhodes will soon, as in probably this week, start working in a mask, to "protect" his face, which is a nice touch to a program between the two.

Cena & Miz is an obvious direction, as is Orton vs. Punk. No surprises here.

Very surprised, however, that Triple H DID NOT return last night-
Also very surprised that Kevin Nash, in his frist WWE appearance in 6plus years, didn't blow out a knee or tear a quad during his 75 seconds of actual participation in the Royal Rumble.
Welcome back Booker T! Always entertaining, SUCKA!

Of course, the big loser this week was TNA, who were set to bring both Nash & Booker back this week as part of their latest incarnation of the "THEY" deal. Who will "THEY" be now?

Always a bad idea to tip your hand publicly as to what your plans are, not sign the talent to a contract before the information leaks, then have a billionaire rival promoter snatch up the two guys you earmarked for the spot just because he can....

Already word is going around that Nash may be working behind the scenes, potentially in creative....um, uh, great idea, guys!

Booker may be used as an announcer, or as a manager- I'm not sure how either position may fit his talents, but I certainly don't blame him for snagging the paycheck.

So until next time
