Who is “Bree Lindsay” from The Onion?

emlarson — Tue, 19 May 2009 04:45:00 +0000

Bree Lindsay (not spelled Bree Lindsey, BTW), the “entertainment reporter” from The Onion, is actually Brittany Umar of New York. She rose to fame (if you can put it that way — it’s just one video) by appearing in The Onion’s review of the new Star Trek movie. Read more from her at her Twitter link below:

The Real Estate Pros (and Ginger Alexander) aren’t off the air!

emlarson — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:42:17 +0000

There’s hope for those of us who’ve been missing Richard, Ginger and Team Trademark! According to a real estate web site in Charleston, The Real Estate Pros is coming back next month:

Richard C. Davis, who heads Team Trademark, intends to document the lodge’s rehabilitation as part of the real estate company’s reality series, due to air on TLC in April. The show had an 18 month hiatus.

Kari Byron really is pregnant!

Thanks to a comment from a dedicated att.ention.net reader, we learn that Kari Byron really is pregnant.

Unless Adam Savage’s Twitter account has been hacked or he’s more than a month early on an April Fool’s joke, he reports the breaking news:

This just in Mythbuster fans: Kari Byron is pregnant! Congrats Kari, I can’t wait to meet the new mythbuster!

Michelle Obama is NOT pregnant, but…

emlarson — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:14:15 +0000

Why are people interested in whether Michelle Obama is pregnant or not? Maybe it’s just standard gossip… but I think there’s something more going on. Michelle is almost exactly the same age as Sarah Palin. If Michelle Obama found herself pregnant and test results showed that her baby would have Down syndrome… would she carry him to term, or would she choose to abort him? Given her husband’s position(s) on the issue, how likely is it that she would make a very different choice than Sarah Palin did? And would she share that choice publicly, or keep it hidden instead?

What’s new with Deanne Bell?

emlarson — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:08:45 +0000

For some reason, I just had a huge spike in Deanne Bell visitors. Why? Other than passing by the TV monitors at work and seeing a clip of Smash Lab, I haven’t seen much about her (or the program). Is something going on that I (and the general Deanne Bell fan community) should know about? Post a comment and let us know!

Where is the real Willow Palin information?

emlarson — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 22:53:19 +0000

It seems sad that the only writings about Willow Palin (Sarah Palin’s 14-year-old daughter) are references to the fake blog that was named mylifeaswillowpalin (and which, fortunately, is now gone). Parody is a fine thing, but when people mistake it for something real, people get hurt and it’s sad to throw a 14-year-old girl into that mix.

We get a hint of Willow’s personality from the People magazine article that describes her reaction when Trig was born:

…Willow said of the new arrival, “He looks like he has Down syndrome.”

Palin, who says her own qualms were laid to rest “the minute [Trig] was born,” felt a lump in her throat. “If he does, you know you will still love him, Willow. It’ll be okay.”

Willow pressed: “But why didn’t you tell us?”

That’s a good question, Willow. As a dad (of two daughters) I struggle to balance “sharing” with “protection” — would it have been better for Sarah to be more open with what she knew, or was it best for her to not “worry her family”? I don’t know. But it’s a question worth asking.

Anyway… this kind of conversation isn’t happening out there in the Internet. Other that the occassional magazine article and some comments about stuff that Willow didn’t even write, there’s precious little being written about this family that’s been in the news so much lately. What do you think? Comment below!

Kat Bockli: Modest WebCam Girl

emlarson — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:51:11 +0000

The latest internet personality is Kat Bockli — maybe a flash-in-the-pan, but great while she’s here! She’s the thing that makes watching news feeds at www.LiveNewsCameras.com interesting; as there are snippets of news stories and live unedited footage streaming in from across the country, Kat will let you know what you should pay attention to.

I’ve never been into this “webcam girl thing” (where guys pay to watch girls sit in front of them and… knit? read? I don’t know…) but I can see how it could be intriguing to just sit and spy on someone. There’s a certain charm to watching Kat sit at her desk and turn to you every-so-often with, “Hey, check out this video!”

In the past couple of minutes, Kat has disappeared twice — once to take a phone call. So, if you just see a “Email Us” video clip on the right-hand side of the page when you go to the site… that’s where Kat lives.

Is Smash Lab more “scripted”?

emlarson — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:05:43 +0000

I think I might have the answer to why Smash Lab doesn’t seem as “engaging” as MythBusters (though, judging from the comments on the rest of this site, that’s far from certain).

Smash Lab conversations seem more “scripted”.

But, looking at Mythbusters, it’s certainly “scriped” as well. Maybe it’s that the Smash Lab gang just looks like they’re trying too hard to be spontaneous?

That means we need to find interviews with the Smash Lab “cast”, outside of the show. Especially Deanne. Hmmm…

Minnie Driver = Ginger Alexander?

emlarson — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:13:16 +0000

Inspired by Trisha’s comment, I pulled up some photos of Minnie Driver… but I’m just not seeing the Ginger Alexander connection. Maybe I needed to watch the Ellen show.

Speaking of Ginger… is it me, or has some of the Richard Davis magic worn off? Maybe my schedule just changed and I’m not watching as much TV or something… but there doesn’t seem to be as much “Real Estate Pros” buzz out there anymore?
