Newsgasm: Big Brother Is Watching, But We're Not - 
by B-side
- Did you hear about this? The new Tivo software lets networks erase their programming off your DVR. Listen, when we said we loved Big Brother, we didn't mean like that. [AP]
- Signs o' life at NBC! My Name Is Earl gets big ratings. The Big Brother 6 finale, however, was "soft." That's probably because most of us stopped watching after Janelle left. [Variety]
- Also wrapping up last night was Rockstar: INXS, a show we just didn't have time to cover this summer. The big winner: J.D. Fortune. Mr. Fortune says he's looking forward to singing with the band and being forgotten. [E! Online via Yahoo]
- Hey, did you guys catch Extreme Makeover: Suicide Edition? Me neither. But this woman swears it happened. To her sister. [Hollywood Reporter]
- Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound! Nelly's going down down, baby, yo' street in a reality show. I'm sure he wants us to watch it over and over again, but we'll only take a ride with him if his series makes it hot in herre. Aaand scene. [AP]

Does JD stand for Jackass Douchebag?

I think it must james. What a creep that guy was. And it was wayyyyyyyyy too clear that INXS planned to select him several weeks ago. I plan to go back to forgetting about INXS and will anxiously await news of Marty Casey's big break cuz I love that man's voice.

I watched maybe two full shows and a few snippets here and there during commercials on other stations, but I really liked that one chick that sang bohemian rhapsody. I thought her voice was rather killer. But even with the limited amount of air it got on my TV, I saw JD kiss INXS ass, be selfish regarding the other contestants and explain it away to INXS as, "that's what he thought INXS would want." Every answer he ever gave was something to that effect. Oh yeah, and he sucks. Out of the two finalists, the blond guy was definitely better.

I agree with everyone about JD. Marty and Suzie were the most talented singers, plus Marty played guitar well. Marty was also just as good, if not better, of a song writer as JD. Once the group dumped Suzie and headed into an all-male final 3, Marty was the most talented, well-rounded option left. In the end, it's probably better for Suzie and Marty that they not be stuck with an old, outdated band no one has particularly cared about for a decade or more.

let's be real people...INXS picked JD bc he was the best LOOKING. I think it's obvious the best TALENT was Marty.
But the young girls will pay money to see JD, not Marty (until he hits it big on his own).

PS. I hated JD's stupid song about "when the pretty leaves you no place to go"...cheesy!

JD = not attractive
He is a twat and a knob end and that is never attractive.

I don't know. I thought JD was a good choice for them. He seems to fit their style.
Marty had the best talent, by far. I just think Marty is better off on his own. Who is honestly even going to remember INXS after this.
Exactly.

That's not the point, Jillian, at least ot for me. The point is that he will probably go solo in a month tops. or want to change the name to J.D. Fortune and INXS.
shelly-if they picked on looks, Jessica would win. not cause she's the hottest, but because you could tell they wanted to get in bed with her. I think that's why they had her sing that song that has the line "lying naked on the floor" (cold, is it?)
