Revisiting the Past

I came upon updates for two stories that we were closely following here at Cooler than Stupid. I'll hit you with the sad one first and then we'll move on to the sucker that'll lift your spirits.

Everyone's favorite crippled equine hero, Barbaro, was euthanized this morning. poor horsey.

Rock Star: Supernova officially sucks!!!! Man I hate that Lukas. and i'm so happy that he's not getting any success in his cool rock band full of has-beens and a terrible moniker. like for real, asses, this is what you get for choosing the most hated contestant as your lead singer. i almost hope that the show WAS fixed and they had picked him all along because that proves what know-nothing weenies those fools are. haha. sorry, i'm being a total schoolyard bully right now, but i really didn't like that rat. in case you don't want to click on the above article, i'll paste my favorite excerpt here:

"But instead, their self-titled debut album failed to crack Billboard's Top 100, and as of this week, almost five months after tickets went on sale, good seats were still available for their shows in Worchester, Philadelphia and New York, including 11th row seats for this Wednesday's show at Radio City"

Rock Star Update

OMG. This is too good to be true. So, you coolfacelets out there may or may not be aware of this lawsuit that Supernova was dealing with all throughout the show. Basically, there is already a band that exists called Supernova...and they've been around...oh about 17 years...and for obvious reasons, they aren't happy that these "superstars" felt that could just take their name and not deal with the consequences. So, the lesser known Supernova sued over trademark something or other, and guess what the fuck what? THEY WON!!! there was a court date of the 13th or the 14th...so there's been speculation that the reason there was a double ouster early in the season and that they went into the finals with a foursome was because they had to have this show wrapped up by the time the case went to court.
The best part about it all (granted...i wouldn't be this happy about these things happening to them if they had picked Dilana, the person who properly earned that slot in their band) is that the band now HAS to use the name "Rock Star: Supernova". That's how they tour, that's how they release albums and singles. Hahahhahahaha. Take that Lukas. You're in a dweeby band now jerk.

Summer Reality Corner: Final Edition

So, since fall comes around next week, this will be the last summer reality corner. However, there are still a few episodes of project runway left and of course america's next top model...so fall reality corner should be pretty exciting.

Project Runway:
It is indeed sad that Kayne was dismissed yesterday, especially because it was between him and my archnemesis Jeffrey...but Kayne has had a few missteps in the past few weeks (what happened?!) so i guess it was his time. angela and vincent were brought back and given another chance at the finals...but because they both kind of suck and are totally bat shit crazy, they just turned around and went back home. angela was probably like "wait, you fly me to paris and turn me right back around? and then you bring me back on the show and then kick me off again? fleur chon?" and vincent was probably like "i like to play connect four with a banana. clothes? i win!" michael proved once again that he is awesome and amazing and my one true love. laura finally got some well deserved credit and won a challenge. she is also super hormonal with baby number six. it's kind of interesting to watch. she went from zero to 11 in just two episodes. she also went from stick thin to seriously preggers in that time. i'm really liking a top three of michael, laura, and uli. but unfortunately, we'll have to wait two weeks to find out who the top three will be.

ps, poor jia's bicycle/bus accident was finally brought up. this was the news item that i've been so cryptically referring to every so often. i read that she was in the finals and i was nervous that, since she was vincent's model, he would also be in the finals. but i guess they had their facts a little mixed up.

Rock Star:
What happened in the finale was completely ridiculous and just...there are no words....and believe me...this is NOT because i hate lukas. Lukas won. let's get that out of the way. the toddler-faced/pikachu/monchichi/"tranny midget"/christina ricci/weird canadian/(enter any other names here) was chosen after it came down to dilana and him. let's back up a little. final four: dilana, lukas, toby, magni. magni went first. that was no big surprise. toby was next. that was pretty shocking and toby looked pretty crushed. i wholeheartedly believe that the only reason lukas was chosen over dilana was because supernova didn't want a girl. bad move. i don't think they realize how many potential fans they lost and how many people downright hate lukas. a couple other interesting things: about 15 minutes into the broadcast, cbs played this weird survivor commercial intercut with clips of lukas singing his original song. this was definitely a mistake, and spoiled the ending within the first quarter of the show. also, i read an article today that said somebody revealed two weeks ago that lukas would win which led a lot of people to believe that maybe he had already been selected at the start and this whole show was really just an act. this makes two years in a row i've been letdown by the jerk that wins. oh well. what a summer it's been for all three of us that watch this show.

Summer Reality Corner

Rock Star:
Supernova made an unfortunate move by booting Storm Large when they had their first opportunity to release that wood-nymph lukas back into the wild. Supernova, listen to me: his voice doesn't not match you. his personality does not match you. he's a huge asshole. he never forms words, he just kind of wails and moves his mouth around. when he sang the first line of livin on a prayer last week (johnny used to work on the dock) it came out as "onnneeoosawuhrkonnnadaaahhhhh" . anyway. bad move. storm was way talented. definitely capable enough to keep those boys in their place. and i think a much better contender than lukas. whatever. i'm not in supernova, so apparently what i think isn't important. ugh. final four are dilana, toby, magni, and lukas. i think the two it'll come down to are dilana and toby. interestingly enough, storm was the last american contestant...we've got quite the multi-culti final four: iceland, australia, canada, and south africa. way to go planet earth! i think it's also notable to mention that toby dedicated his song to steve irwin. toby is perfect.

Project Runway:
Hooray! Vincent is out! So my connecting the dots of that news item was wrong....i'm still not gonna bring it up here because it could still be a spoiler...but thank god. if laura were booted over vincent, i don't know what i would've done. i am of the group that did not think jeffrey's dress was the best...i thought uli had that challenge in the bag...but maybe it's just because i hate all things jeffrey. it's possible. i also realized in this episode that there are only two women remaining. interesting. i feel like by the time project runway has its finale, it'll already be fall reality corner time. but do you know what we have to look forward to then? america's next top fucking model. september 20th. don't you dare miss it.

Summer Reality Corner

Sorry this is a little late...but c'mon, was anyone really affected by my tardiness?

ROCK STAR:
Hallelujah, Ryan's gone! Thank god. I mean, points for most improved, but Suzy was most improved last year and she paled in comparison to the rest of the contestants...and if you knew suzy, you'd know i just kind of dissed ryan. and if dilana or storm were booted over ryan, i would've been mighty pissed. my dream top three are dilana, storm, and toby - i'd be fine if magni snuck in there...but i really need lukas to go next.

PROJECT RUNWAY:
Hallelujah again - crazy angela is out. listen, i was warming up to her and i definitely sided with her during any altercations with jeffrey (i hate jeffrey)...but she was fleur-loopy. it kind of sucked how she got flown all the way to paris just to be told "peace. don't let the door hit you where the rosettes split you" and put right back on that plane, but better her than anyone remaining....except vincent. and jeff of course. he's an asshole of the largest variety- but unfortuantely is immune next week (i think?) so here's hoping vince goes this week. (though that news item of a few months ago keeps coming to mind...)

Summer Reality Corner

Project Runway:
my heart was heavy having to watch this episode sans the very talented alison, but ah well...what are you gonna do? robert best proved that he is more like robert mediocre or robert boring when he rolled a third snooze-inducing 'fit down the runway. and unfortunately, he had to pay with his life. oh wait no...wrong show. he was just kicked off. jeffrey proved to the world that he is, in fact, one of the largest assholes on the planet by dissing SOMEONE ELSE'S mom. now i don't know about everyone else, but i heart my coolface mom to the max, so when i see any mom in the world being dissed (or even worse jeff, insulted to the point of tears. you heartless bastard) i get angry. or maybe i should change that sentence to "when i see any mom in the world being dissed, i get pissed." maybe i shouldn't. anyway, i guess the editors were trying to get us to be all sympathetic because we found out that poor jeffrey is a recovering alcoholic and has had many struggles in his life. oh boohoo, if alcohol gave him tact then maybe he should keep on drinking it. in the end, after barbie best was auf'd, we see jeffrey crying in his mommy's lap and muttering something like "they keep kicking off the genuinely good people here. and there aren't a lot left" yeah jeff. and you're not one of them. good people are going while assholes like you get to stick around and shred stuff and make it uneven.

Rock Star:
due to a time change snafu (that cbs did NOT properly advertise), i missed this week's elimination episode. but from what i gather from the webisode and various clips (and the comments of a coworker...finally! someone else who watches the show!) i discovered that patrice was kicked off. unfortunate, but it was her time. i'd ask for another holla back from austin, but no one holla'd back the first time. my boyfriend toby was also in the bottom three as well as magni. i don't understand why Lukachu-chu is still there, but i guess they need someone to scurry around and collect various acorns and berries for them. also, apparently dilana dug herself a grave. i mean, this girl had this competition in the bag. all she needed to do was not fuck up. but i guess she did by bad mouthing the other rockers to the press. apparently dave and supernova did not take to this very well, but i can't properly discuss any of this because there were no clips of it online. so...i'd love lukas to go next, but at this point there's really no telling who it might be. my random guess is magni.

Summer Reality Corner: Rock Star Edition

Zayra's time has finally come. And, surprisingly, it was a little sad...but there was no other way...Supernova and the producers had stretched that out as long as they could. It was funny how they told Patrice that since she's been put in the bottom three (like, 3 times maybe) even though they like her voice, they have to consider what that means. Shockingly, there was no mention of Zayra's 34 visits to the bottom two. Speaking of Patrice...I like her but she'll probably go soon. And she's too smiley. It's probably because she's from Austin and Austin rules so she has nothing to be sad about. Holla back Austin!! I really like Storm and thought they judged her rearrangement of "I will survive" unfairly. Toby is still sexy. I have a deep dislike for Lukas. Dilana basically already has the job (and damn well deserves it)...they're really just going through the motions right now. Ryan is a prick, but he may have a good shot (if dilana weren't in this competition). Magni is bald. Tune in next Tuesday at 9 on cbs and join the fun!

Summer Reality Corner

PROJECT RUNWAY: Sad for Brad...
Don't get me wrong, Bradley's modernization of Cher's look was totally hid, but i'm definitely gonna miss his peculiar sense of humor. vincent's modern twiggy was also pretty fug, and i don't really enjoy anything about him except that he reminds me of elton john...so lets hope he goes before anyone else we like does. ps congratulations michael on finally getting the attention he deserved and winning a challenge! michael + nazri + pam grier = a dream

ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA: Dreams do come true!
So, remember how the last two weeks i've been all "josh and jill need to go"? well guess what the eff happened last night?! THEY KICKED THEM BOTH OFF!!! Thank god. Now all we need to do is get rid of Toddler-faced Pikachu O'Riley (or Lukas, as he's known to the rest of the world) and zayra (who are we kidding, mr. peanut isn't going anywhere!) and we'll have ourselves a real competition.

Zayra Alvarez

For everyone who missed Rock Star last night (or should i just say, for everyone) and are wondering what crazy zayra wore, here is a pic from her performance.




and yes, i do insist on writing about rock star: supernova even though i'm the only person who watches it

Summer Reality Corner

ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA
So it looks like supernova will be keeping crazy zayra around for a little while because she's some sort of foreign, spectacle-causing wonder...and they like to look at her. Dana left this week...we don't think she really had a chance of winning, but there are definitely some who should've gone before her. we'd still LOVE to see Josh leave and we'd also be happy to see Jill leave.

Here are our faves so far: Dilana (of course!), Toby (he so sexy), and Storm Large (great voice, even better name...she was born with it too!)

PROJECT RUNWAY:
ho hum, keith is gone. we all saw it coming, but for different reasons. thank god that hellion isn't around anymore. he was not someone that i loved to hate (like Jade from ANTM). and he was not someone that i ever found funny in his sassiness (if i hear that good mommy/bad mommy quote one more time i'll throw up all over keith's plagiarized portfolios). unfortunately, bonnie also got the boot. a very astute coolface brother stated what probably a fair amount of people were thinking about this situation:

"They were all, 'Bonnie, you're out' and I was all 'Who's Bonnie?'"

and between her and robert best, i'm a bigger fan of robert...but it was still kind of sad to see her go when crazies like angela and vincent are still around.

Current faves: Michael, Allison, and Uli. we also like laura, but are a little concerned that she'll always make jackets with big new york collars.

RESCUE ME:
Tatum O'Neal is still on the show. does anybody know anybody who works on this show? i really want to get her fired.

Hell's Kitchen update to possibly come soon..

is it just us...

...or does Gilby Clarke from Rock Star:Supernova look like Val Kilmer in ol' Deadwood times?

does anyone else even watch Rock Star:Supernova?

Coolface Summer Reality Kickoff Corner

Here's who we think needs to go in the next round of kick offs:

PROJECT RUNWAY:
We really hate Keith, but seeing as he might go next week anyway , we think it should come down to the battle of the crazies: Angela & Vincent.
ps why hasn't michael won a challenge yet? he is clearly awesome.

ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA
Josh. Though its really anyone's guess as to why Zayra is still there...seeing as the band has basically made it clear to her that the only way they want her is in Tommy Lee's bed.

RESCUE ME:
Tatum O'Neal.

Okay, not really a reality show with kick offs, per se...but Coolface really hates Tatum O'Neal and doesn't think she should have work. Coolface is not mean spirited, but has experience with the poppy-tatted witch and can confidently and with good reason say she is a terrible person and an even worse actor.

Let us know who you think should go and any other summer shows you are watching in the comments section.
