New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys performed their new single, “Don’t Turn Out The Lights” on Dancing with the Stars last night.  But my favorite moment was when Donnie and Joey from New Kids performed a dance number at the end of “Step by Step.” Check it out below.

Parenthood on NBC

I’ve already written about my love for the NBC show Parenthood. My favorite “Gilmore Girl,” Lauren Graham, plays the complicated Sarah. She’s great in this role but I really do fall in love with a different character each week.  This week’s episode showcased the awesome Mae Whitman who plays Sarah’s rebellious daughter Amber.  All the kids on the show are amazingly talented.  Here’s a touching scene featuring Amber and her Grandpa (the also awesome Craig T. Nelson) after Amber survived a car accident.  Can you tell I really LOVE this show?

Please watch it so it doesn’t go away.  Tuesday nights at 10 PM EST on NBC. (You can also watch full episodes on-line.)

 

It’s Friday, Friday

Happy Friday!  Yahoo!!

And do you know WHY I’m so happy?? Well….

1.  Grey’s Anatomy ROCKED LAST NIGHT.  (I may be in the minority here, but I thought it was just awesome.)

2. I survived Spring Break week with both kiddies at home!  We had some great adventures:  bike rides, park fun, lunch at Panera, a bookstore visit, library craft day, and a perfect rainy afternoon watching Tangled on DVD. We ended the week at the MOSH in downtown Jacksonville.  Here they are goofing around in the indoor tree house.

3. I’m going out to Happy Hour with the hubbie tonight!  I don’t know the last time I went out for Happy Hour.  It was definitely pre-kiddies.

Finally, I leave you with the biggest viral video of the week.  It now has over 72 million views on YouTube! It’s Rebecca Black singing “Friday.”  Very appropriate.   She’s only 13 years old and I think she’s pretty darn awesome too.

Grey’s Anatomy: The Music Event Sneak Peek

Get the tissues ready for this Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy: The Music Event.  It features Sara Ramirez (Callie) having an out of body experience while she sings for her life after a truly horrible car accident.  We don’t know yet whether her baby will live or even if SHE will live.

Sara is no stranger to singing.  She won a Tony Award for Spamalot.   The rest of the Grey’s cast sings too and they say it will be one of the most dramatic and touching episodes of the season.  I thought at first that the “trying to be like Glee” thing would be cheesy, but now I’m convinced this episode is going to rock!  (And force me to drink lots of red wine too.)

Here’s the Sneak Peek.  (I’m crying already!)

Happy 40th Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm is one handsome guy.  I love him in Mad Men. It’s one of my favorite television shows.  And he just turned 40!  We are the same age!  Whoot!

Mandi Bierly from Entertainment Weekly celebrated Jon Hamm’s 40th birthday by posting 40 amazing photos of him on their website.  It was such a treat and I wanted to share the #1 photo with you here.  (I also wanted to make sure it was on PopMommy so I could come back and look at it when I’m having a bad day.  Hee.)

Enjoy!

My American Idol Favorites ’11

I’ve picked my four favorite American Idol contestants for Season 10.  I did this last year and one of my picks actually won the whole thing and became the American Idol!  (Lee Dewyze.  Remember him?)

I’ve decided to abandon my two girls and two boys rule.  I just think the boys have more potential this season.  I’m excited.

Good luck, guys! (and gal!)

My husband is a morning radio host and he gets to do A LOT of cool things.  This week he was featured on Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible.  The show was in town to help renovate a local restaurant and they all stopped by my hubbie’s radio studio to talk about the experience.

He’s the cute one behind the microphone.

First Idol Mistake: Chris Medina is Out

Argh.  I hate when American Idol builds up a contestant for us only to cut them before WE, the audience, get a chance to vote.

Last night was the end of the road for AI favorite, Chris Medina.  His story touched my heart from day one.

I’m sad to see him go.  So was Jennifer Lopez.  She had a serious breakdown.  I just wish they gave him one more chance.  Chris is a class act.  I hope he continues his music journey with Juliana by his side.

After watching American Idol “Hollywood Week,” my new favorite contestant has emerged: Robbie Rosen from Merrick, NY.

Robbie is only 16 years old and he can sing and play piano.  I love his voice.  And he sure is a cutie.  I can’t find his Hollywood Week video clip, but here is his very first audition and also his back story.
