I saw 20 minutes of what may have been the most startling reality show yet. Did anyone catch "The Starlet" last night? This is on the WB. A group of 10 wannabe actresses are put through tests to become the next "The Starlet". But in the short time I saw this program, the acting class consisted of women trying to turn on a teddy bear,



then they must have gone down to the local Eunuch Shop and found 8 guys. Their sole mission was to sit in a chair while each of the eight potential "starlets" did a lap dance. The final part of the show was a re-enactment of the hot tub lesbian kiss from that long departed show, "Fastlane". I'm not one to watch a lot of reality TV, but I must say this could be the cheesiest one ever and you need to see the replays of the first two episodes tomorrow on the WB.

I'm in Operation Shutdown for the next several days as I am getting out of this cold weather!!!

CBS reveals the announcing teams for March Madness. The latest Bracketology has Kentucky coming here. And, of course, she will be here.



Russell Crowe says there was a plot to kidnap him. Why would he bring it up now? Oh yeah, he's been out of the news lately and he has a movie out in 2 months.

Deion Sanders has become the Duke Slater of the NFL. Speaking of Must See TV, it is The Hot Dog Express.

I haven't spoken of the Browns lately, but they seem to making some decent moves. They dumped "Big Money". He may be a Pro Bowler eventually, but he it wasn't happenin' here. Trent Dilfer is a suitable band-aid at QB. Two offensive lineman signed...that's good. New punter...good. We cut Robert Griffith, but have our number 2 pick from last year, Sean Jones, to fill in. Plus, Gary Baxter is an improvement over Anthony Henry. I guess we thought we had Lewis Sanders, but he left for Houston. Marques Douglas might be next. Nothing earth shattering, but real solid moves, this far.
