The Woz, Barbie, 24 and Idol

Holly Madison and Steve Wozniak not suprisingly got the boot on last night's Dancing With the Stars. We know the Woz will go back to tinkering with gadgets, but I wonder what Holly will do. Last I heard, she broke up with that freaky Criss Angel guy who performs magic tricks in Vegas. That was after she dumped Hugh Hefner and her life as a playmate.

Huge has not sat quietly since breaking up with Holly. He is now after Melissa Rycroft. Not romantically, however, he just wants her to pose naked for Playboy for $500,000. Melissa is legally unable to accept Huge's offer, even if she wanted to. Her contract with ABC for DWTS forbids her to pose naked now and for 3 months after the show ends. Protecting her good girl reputation is top priority (at least that's what it sounds like). http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/report-dancing-bachelorette-melissa-rycroft-offered-500k-pose-8694.php

In other new, I came home last night from work to find that The Boyfriend had picked up dinner, did the laundry, emptied the dishwasher and set the table. I almost fainted. It was not a dream. We ate a delicious meal and then retired to the couch where we got to speed plough through our DVR. First on the list - 24. Poor Jack!! I can't believe he's infiltrated with the biochemical that will ultimately lead to his death. How is he going to get himself out of this one?? I thought Renee was going to make out with him when she had him alone while debriefing him. Not sure if biochemicals are contagious though, like a cold or mono. Hmmm.

On last night's episode of 24, Jack is quarantined by CDC after being exposed to a biochemical weapon he manages to steal from the arms of a huge military contracts company called Starburst, or something like that. Starburst has been testing their biochemical weapon of mass destruction on helpless civilians in Africa (Bush was right, it DOES exist afterall, but hey - it's the Americans that are responsible for creating, testing and bringing it on US soil - how ironic?). Meanwhile Tony Almeda - the rogue ex CTU hottie is being beaten to death inside the headquarters of Starburst. The 2nd in command eventually frees Tony Almeda, tells him he wants immunity in return for telling him where the weapons are. The President grants #2 immunity, the FBI swarms in on the scene at Starburst to get the weapons, and wouldn't you know - #2 has tricked them - the warehouse he leads everybody to is empty. This gives Angelina Jolie's father (the CEO of Starburst) more time to hide the evidence of this weapon or do something really bad with it (we can't be sure what is really going on or what Mr. Jolie's intentions are). Really, I'm just wondering how he made one of the most incredibly looking females in the world right now (Angelina). She probably takes after her mother. Whatever.

The FBI head, Larry, gives the command to search the rest of the headquarters which is massive. Just as they are about to divide and conquer, they get surrounded by bad guys with guns. The bad guys with guns threaten them and so it looks like all is lost. Meanwhile, back at the White House, President Allison Taylor makes her daughter, Olivia, the acting Chief of Staff until a more permanent solution can be devised. Taylor is very upset. There is a 80:1 chance that she will answer every telephone call with the word, "WHAT????" whenever she received news. She can't believe that the US allowed such a stupid situation to occur. I agree. Pretty stupid.

So Jack, who is at FBI headquarters waiting to see when this dementia and certain death will reach him after being exposed to biochemical warfare, is almost certain to go out and take care of business himself. Go Jack!!! I'm guessing that there will be someone who can cure him of his certain death in the next episode. The CDC actors looked far too competent to let our hero die. Til next week...

American Idol was a bit on the boring side. Contestants are either AMAZING (Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert) or SINKING (Megan Joy, Anoop, Lil Rounds). They need to step it up. Allison Iraheta definitely needs a makeover. She looked like a cross between an oompa loompa and Rainbow Brite. Scott McIntyre was pretty good, but I think he does the same kind of performance each week and I just don't think he's better than good. As The Boyfriend said - he'd be great playing in the lobby of Nordstrom's. Perfect assessment. I'm guessing Megan Joy may get the boot tonight. She sang a Bob Marley song last night and murdered it. I could totally have seen her doing Amy Whinehouse's "Rehab." No such luck.
