Saved By The Bell = New Kids On The Block

This is a part of my -what's up with them now- series. When news arrises of a one-time star, I will find out what's happening with his/her former castmates or bandmates. After Showgirls bombed 13 years ago, Elizabeth Berkley finds herself hosting Bravo's Step It Up & Dance.

The cast of Saved By The Bell has had a New Kids On The Block path since the final episode. Some of the cast has hit the reality circuit, some have hosted TV shows, and some have latched on to TV shows after it had hit its peak.

Dustin Diamond is back on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club. This marks a return to Celebrity Fit Club for Diamond as he appeared on the show last year. Diamond is kind of known for this. After Saved By The Bell's initial run, Diamond returned for Saved By The Bell: The New Class.

After a TV movie and a Baywatch/NYPD Blue cable TV show, Mario Lopez has moved on to hosting TV shows.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen joined a show after it jumped the shark.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar joined a show after its second shark jumping. Yeah, it's possible.

Lark Voorhies had a small role in the extremely underrated How To Be A Player. The 14% positive reviews only reinforce how underratedness of that movie. Other than that, she's the Danny Wood of the cast.

The Presidential Post

The three main candidates for the next president are John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. Sorry. I couldn't find a disturbing picture of Obama. He's too beautiful.

John McCain has flip-flopped on abortion. Also, John McCain is really old. Of course, isn't flip-flopping the reason we hated John Kerry?

Barack Obama is apparently the anti-christ and Jesus would not vote for him. Of course, Obama is ridiculously good looking, so he has that going for him.

Hillary Clinton has sparked a website to stop her now. It's like she's King Kong or something. It's hard to take that website seriously, however, with their awful pun, "Hill-arity." Like we needed the dash to get the bad joke. Of course, there is a chance that Clinton is the devil.

So who are you voting for? A really old flip-flopper, a handsome anti-christ, or the devil?

The Douchebag Post

If you google search douchebag, there is one picture that frequently comes up.



The picture is self-explanatory. But I never understood the livestrong trend. I get the purpose, but I don't understand sporting a trend that involves little league baseball coaches.

On that note, here is a great douchebag site.

Who has the better cartoon mullet?

Recently I have been engaged in conversation about cartoon mullets.

He-Man's blonde mullet resembles that of an old football helmet or whatever this cat is wearing. Sometimes I get He-Man confused with Patrick Swayze.

Captain Planet has a green mullet. With his looks and his hair, he really should have been performing with Duran Duran. Despite not being in a band, Captain Planet had his own groupies.

So which mullet do you like?

Charlton Heston Dead At 84

Charlton Heston died at his home today.

Heston was known for movies like, Planet of the Apes and Ben-Hur

Of course, I will always remember his involvement with the infomercial Charlton Heston Presents The Bible.

Inspector Gadget

At an interview yesterday, the topic of Inspector Gadget came up. Inspector Gadget was an incompetent detective who had various gadgets built into his body. He had springs, a palm pilot thing, a giant magnifying glass. He was basically a human swiss army knife.

As a kid, I didn't have the creepy crawlers so I would use my imagination for fun. I would pretend to be Inspector Gadget. I used a pogo stick as my springs. I folded construction paper and taped a calculator inside, and now I had the palm pilot thing.

Of course, my childhood memories were ruined with the Matthew Broderick movie. As bad as that was, French Stewart from Third Rock From The Sun had to mess it up with the direct-to-video sequel. Seriously though, what exective thought a direct-to-dvd sequel starring French Stewart would work?

New Kids on the Block Reunite

This is a part of my -what's up with them now- series. When news arrises of a one-time star, I will find out what's happening with his/her former castmates or bandmates. The New Kids on the Block are planning a reunion.

From Rolling Stone: "The now-thirtysomething boy band was bombarded by rain-soaked women dressed like teens (many with their actual teenage daughters) as the group announced a new album (due this summer) and a fall tour."

The boy band genre seems to emerge in the later portions of each decade. During the late 80s, we had The New Kids on the Block. During the late 90s, we had Backstreet Boys and NSync. And now, we have a New Kids reunion and a Backstreet Boys reunion.

I don't find the timing of the reunion to be odd considering the fact that:

Donnie Wahlberg has had a so-so movie career

Jordan Knight has been in Vh1's Surreal Life

Joey McIntyre came out with a poorly rated CD nine years ago.

Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood have been doing...
