What ever happened to good old entertainment?  The kind of entertainment that involved good old scripted, smart, clever and funny sitcoms.  Nowadays it seems like that kind of entertainment está en peligro de extinción.  Reality shows are taking over primetime television.  But that’s not the only plague invading television ladies and gents- tabloid-style shows are making their way through, proving to be quite popular now more than ever.  Shows like Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and now TMZ.   Heck, even the news seem to revolve around the entertainment segment.   When Britney’s whereabouts, Amy Winehouse’s coke binges and Lindsay’s hook-ups get more attention than the upcoming elections… eek! We’re in deep trouble.

The music industry is going through some rough times.  Not only is the business less profitable than ever, but there also seems to be a lack of innovation and talent. With less new artists releasing material and being signed to major labels, we’re left with the same ol’ shiz. And while alternative and indie music seem to be in productive/ creative mode, unfortunately for us, that kind of music is hard to access.  Only a few are fortunate enough to be exposed and introduced to such artists/ bands.  For the rest of us- there’s radio.  Top 40 has never sounded so dull.

Warn the town…Radiohead is coming! Radiohead is coming! It’s official. We are only 133 days away from breathing, living, experiencing Radiohead. As part of their 2008 US tour, Radiohead has just announced the rest of their concert dates and cities. With two back-to-back performances, a Radiohead delight is scheduled for August 24th and 25th at the Hollywood Bowl. With scheduled performances in L.A., Chula Vista and Santa Barbara (to name a few), pre-sale tickets for this soon-to-be-sold-out event go on sale Wednesday, April 9th and general tickets go on sale Friday, April 12th.

Perhaps one of the biggest female American icons is and will always be none other than a blonde bombshell by the name of Marilyn Monroe.  Decades after her death, millions of women try to emulate her ways- whether it is her bubbly attitude or her sensual ways. Indeed, the ladies seem to be fixated with this character, even more so in Hollywood.  Not only that, but the entertainment industry has done its fair share to immortalize Ms. Monroe and convert her into an immortal legend.
