...Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus was on "The View" and he talked about his family, all good things. He said that he has called off the divorce from his wife Tish and that he and Miley are doing much better, so much so that they are pretty much back tot he way they were before "Hannah Montana". This is all good, though some have said that maybe it is still too soon. Miley was made at Billy for making harsh comments about how he "hated" what the show had done to his family. Miley got so mad that apparently she made him cancel his 1st appearance on "The View" earlier this year. I on the other hand think that things might be well, at least with Billy and Tish. Time has passed and I am sure whatever rift they had has healed. He and Miley on the other hand.... She is still young and very wealthy and has enough power to get her way in Hollywood. She has just started to give him trouble, and more will come. She is a young girl with emotions, even if she was not famous, she would still be giving him trouble on some level. I am giving Billy Ray Cyrus a Digit Up for coming out and acknowledging his vaults and admitting his mistakes. Even if he might have sugarcoated something, I am sure he did them to protect his family.

...The Talk

I had heard about this show for months. The controversy of the show featuring a lesbian mother, but that died down a day after I heard about it. The Talk premiered Monday and I watched it, I watched all week long after I found out what time it came on. No one really seemed to care. Barbra Walters mentioned it, sort of, on "The View" Monday when she said the reason their show is so good and why others try to copy... Oh Snap! Well After watching this week I can see why no one really cared, the show is boring. It has its funny moments but it is boring. The show is for mothers, and mothers can be boring, especially mothers of young children. Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, and Marissa Jaret Winokur are the stars of the show and they seem to get along, for now. During their interviews of guest like Jennifer Lopez and Christie Brinkley they played softball, not the actual game, but with the questions. I understand that they are a new show and I guess they are not trying to ruffle feathers, but c'mon ladies, do something! Julie's husband is the main boss at CBS so it is not like the show has anything to worry about. I doubt I will continue to watch next week. I need more substance, more meat. Honestly I do not see this show lasting that long... Digit Down.

...The Male View

We all have come to know and love, or at least accept, the hit daytime talk show "The View". Some have wondered if the show would ever add a man, at least a gay man. So fr other than the occasional male guest host it is still an all women co-hosted show and that is okay. Why? Well it seems as if there may be a new all male co-hosted version of The View coming out soon. It is being dubbed "The Male View". I heard this and thought, well that makes sense, I wonder why it took them so long t think of it. Names like Chris Rock and Robin Williams, not really but sort of. I think that those two guys would be great for the show, it would be a major plus for them. If this show does go through though they will definitely need a few younger more current guys to add tot he panel. Now the real and hard part, will guys watch? I think for the time being they will. New shows usually get a good boost and with the economy the way it is and so many guys out of work, what else will they do? I doubt the show would last forever or as long as The View but it is worth giving it a shot. I am giving this a Digit Up.
