Pop sensation Britney Spears has taken her show on the road once again, starting a concert tour of North America to promote her latest successful record album, Circus. This is Spears’ first concert tour in five years. Those who have already attended “The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour” can attest to the classic Spears lip-syncing on stage and the fact that her on-stage dancing is not the perfectly-performed entertainment it once was.

However, Britney Spears is still selling out arenas filled with eager fans, who sing along and avidly watch the choreographed dance moves and concert costume changes. Most of these fans do not seem terribly concerned that Spears walks around the stage sometimes appearing dazed with a distant smile on her face.

To her credit, and according to published reports - her family’s intervention, Britney Spears has at least managed to get her Circus CD released and selling well, and her body in shape to withstand a grueling concert tour that arrives in 27 U.S. cities before landing in Europe in June. The Circus tour director, Jamie King, who has also worked with Madonna, has done a savvy job with the entertaining show spectacle. Spears’ main costume is that of a daring ringmaster directing a cast that includes jugglers, acrobats and martial arts dancers.

The tour is full of three-dimensional diversions that are enticing to the audience. Over the center of the set’s three-ring stage is a video screen-ringed lighting rig. The rig scales up and down during scene changes. Using creatively-designed props, the raised stage-within-a-stage with its own video screen, and the various trap doors for Spears and her dancers to disappear, the concert is a sight to see.

The various dancers come in an array of costume-changing aerialists, acrobats, clowns, and burly men. The group takes Spear from ring to ring and swoops her into the air.

Before the Circus concert tour began, rumors were flying that Britney Spears would dramatize her mental illness breakdown and divorce from Kevin Federline in an overarching story on stage. Instead, the show turns out to be what celebrity blogger Perez Hilton calls a “circus of the bizarre.”

Spears, donning corsets and black boot stilettos, is the ringmaster around which the show revolves. While the costume changes are mesmerizing, Spears’ overall dancing does not match the relative perfection of her earlier years as an entertainer. In fact, it seems as though her back-up dancers do much of the heavy-lifting and try to compensate for Spears’ lack of energy during lulls. However, Spears is on task with her memorization of the dance moves, and does a fair job singing “Everytime” while suspended above the stage on an oversized umbrella.

The show creatively reinvents many of Britney Spears’ actual song lyrics in a visually-pleasing way. “Me Against the Music” can thank Bollywood for its inspiration and during “If You Seek Amy” we see Spears tapping her dancers’ heads with a pink play hammer.

With a lack of material from her first three albums present in the show, the Circus tour communicates that Britney Spears long ago bid farewell to her virginal pop princess and Lolita temptress alter egos. Rather, she is now a single mother with two children who has taken some measure of control over her life once again, and is out there doing a job she does well.

Britney Spears Circus Concert Tour tickets are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.

Well that’s not necessarily true. While you can catch up on all the shows you missed this year, the summer isn’t just for repeats like a lot of people think. There are also a ton of NEW shows that are coming on as well. Some of these shows can be found below. Most of them are going to be on the main channels like FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS and the like. But some of them may be on other channels as well. One thing I would suggest doing is checking out some of the TV channel guides that are available right online. You can find out anything about any show that you ever wanted to! These are easy to use and you can see all the new shows that are coming around during the summer schedule.

The Listener — In this one-hour drama, Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik, “The Runaway”) is a 24-year-old paramedic living with a secret: he can read people’s minds. This telepathic procedural takes viewers into the heart of a tortured hero who struggles to solve crimes with his unique gift. Week-to-week, “The Listener” balances high-stakes drama with irreverent humor and sends Toby on an intellectual and emotional adventure. Ennis Esmer (”The Path to 9/11″) also stars. “The Listener” is a production of Program Partners and Shaftesbury Films. The executive producers are Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Michael Amo, Russ Cochrane, Glen Davis and Bill Laurin.

Kings - This is an inspiring exploration of the timeless David vs. Goliath struggle. The show is set in a modern metropolis under siege where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan, “Resident Evil: Extinction”), a brave young soldier, rescues the king’s (Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, “Deadwood”) son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. Suddenly, David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women — including the king’s daughter. When he’s promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall.

Chopping Block - It’s time to sharpen your knives! It’s not just about the meal, it’s about the business of food. From the producers of “Hell’s Kitchen,” original rock-star chef Marco Pierre White comes to America to host the ultimate food fight on NBC — a new reality competition set in the high-drama, high-stakes world of New York City restaurants. The cooks are given a grilling over the course of the series. The teams, which are made up of couples, will be tested in challenges that vary from having less than a week to design and revamp a restaurant space to planning a menu and creating a signature dish. The winning couple will get a chance to have their dreams come true — opening their very own restaurant in Manhattan. The series is produced by Granada America.”

Shark Taggers - From creator/executive producer Thom Beers (”Deadliest Catch,” “Ice Road Truckers”) and executive producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, “Shark Taggers” is a one-hour reality series that follows daring marine biologists as they track down the ocean’s top predators and hand-tag them with cutting-edge satellite transmitters or investigate bull sharks’ sudden attacks on surfers. The series is produced by Original Productions and BermanBraun.”

Americas Toughest Jobs - From creator/executive producer Thom Beers (”Deadliest Catch,” “Ice Road Truckers”) and executive producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, “America’s Toughest Jobs” is a new extreme competition series that will test 12 people who venture out of their safe, comfortable careers and are injected into some of the most challenging, dangerous and demanding jobs on earth. From logging high in the Oregon Forest to oil drilling on the Texas range, or from driving icy roads to extreme fishing — each job requires guts and stamina, and they’ll have to live up to the same standards as the pros. In the end, their new boss and co-workers will determine success or failure, and those who don’t make the grade get sent home.

Don’t get me wrong. I love watching all the CSIs I missed. But if you want to watch something new and put a little spice in your life, the above-mentioned shows should do it up for you. And if not? Well, check out the schedules like I suggested. I’m sure you can find something to watch or something for you and your family! Have a go at it and see what you can find. Watching TV doesn’t have to be bland, kick it up a notch!

Tip Top Entertainment On ABC

digg del.icio.us  TRACK  TOP
By Demetri  | Filed in Prime Time TV, Television  |  No comments yet.

The ABC channel has always been one of my favorites for getting tidbits of gossip about all of the Hollywood elite as well as upcoming stars. ABC 24 hours a day seven days a week hosts plenty of entertainment industry news shows and various snippets of media frenzy. The good, bad and ugly are magnified scrupulously. I like watching Entertainment Tonight whenever I can because Mary Hart and Mark Steines create a media infused hot mess of drama as well as follow up on stars and their stories along with their many co-correspondents. E.T. is the most watched entertainment news program worldwide and has gathered great acclaim to make it one of the best news-magazines in the entire world. They always have the inside scoop on what is going on and provide a ton of info on TV shows, movie blockbuster premiere information, vocalists, musicians, actors and actresses. The trendsetters and misfits alike are focused on, providing glimpses into modeling and the fashion designing arena.

I keep tabs also by watching Access Hollywood. Hosted by Nancy O’Dell and Billy Bush, this show provides exposures, fashion hits and misses and provides the latest juicy gossip. TV, movies and music are all totally covered by this program. Access Hollywood’s famous correspondents Maria Menounos, Tony Potts, and Shaun Robinson are always covering every aspect of the entertainment world. Whether it’s about DJ AM, Tyra Banks, Kelly Clarkson, Victoria Beckham, J-Lo or Steve-O, they’ve always got the goods on everyone in H-town! Fashion and fame are always at the center of attention with every special, in-depth breaking news story. The View is another candid infusion of pop culture that I enjoy watching. Weekdays at 11am/10c, these women laugh and chat with plenty of spectacular guests.

The ethereal magnetism of Barbara Walters, blunt honesty of Whoopi Goldberg, the sweetly endearing Sherri Shepherd, straight up notes of Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the camaraderie of Joy Behar mix up into a concoction of delight. Weeknights at 12:05/11:05c, Jimmy Kimmel Live keeps me howling and has a vivacious cast as well as superbly crafted hilarious interviews and new and old musical guests. With ABC’s entertainment show line up there’s always something to reminisce about and share with my friends later or snicker about when I’m reminded of a joke or funny coincidence. It helps pass the time at work sometimes to tell a joke or two and Jimmy’s show has a deviously impeccable array that make the day go by a lot faster. These shows all provide a high quality experience of the entertainment industry as well as a healthy dose of laughter. Why not watch yourself and see why so many are hooked on ABC for their professional yet zany and ingenious programs?

Lost Grows Onward In Its Depths

digg del.icio.us  TRACK  TOP
By Demetri  | Filed in Drama Shows, Lost, Television  |  No comments yet.

Ever since 2004, Lost has gained a cult like following and grows even more intense in its exploration of humanity and the supernatural. Out of abc com tv shows it has been one of my favorites to follow. The Lost series began with a horrific commercial jetliner crash on a deserted island of oblivious proportions. Cast away somewhere deep in the South Pacific, every Wednesday at 9/8c the masses have followed the survivors of a group that was en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. These rogues have been forced to make a living amongst eerie phenomenon and the mundane alike ever since their unfortunate landing mishap stranded them on a beach in the middle of nowhere. Mystery and danger haunt their every step just as secrets and lies threaten to destroy and separate them. Their determinations and relationships to each other conquer and divide many within the group.

The characters struggle onward persisting in their efforts and have encountered polar bears, an odd smoke monster and many strangers along their paths, including island residents better known as “The Others.” They’ve also found unusual bunkers belonging to a group of reclusive scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative, an ancient statue and a 19th century sailing vessel called “The Black Rock”. The pioneers include the largely admired Jorge Garcia (Hurley), primary leader Matthew Fox (Jack), uniquely transformed Terry O’Quinn (Locke), shipwrecked survivor Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Japanese speaking Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Iraqi veteran Naveen Andrews (Sayid), salty yet sweet Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Other harbored Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), eclectic musician Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), strong yet sullen Evangeline Lilly (Kate), innocuous mother Emilie De Ravin (Claire), anti-hero Michael Emerson (Ben), as well as bilingual mother-to-be Yunjin Kim (Sun).

They succeed and fail at each mission and weave into the strange jungle in order to try to find a way off the island and back to society. Through thick and thin, rise and shine, storms and pain, this abandoned hot mess sticks together despite their personal agendas creating a phenomenal portrayal of chaos and order. Numerous industry awards, including Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards (2005), the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series (2005), the Golden Globe for Best Drama (2006), along with a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series has topped off almost six seasons of tropical bliss. In 2010, Lost will be in its final year of production. This popular and invigorating show keeps you on your toes to the edge of reason. The 2009 TV season will be exquisitely piqued by its presence. It began with a big bang as well as plenty of drama. It will be extreme to find out what will become of our beloved crew.

Box Office Stars Star On ABC TV

ABC is a very popular TV station. It’s no wonder plenty of their programs and movies star Box Office veterans. These film mavericks also play in sitcoms, comedies, sci-fi shows and ABC original movies. ‘Just Like Heaven’ starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo is one of the newest films that ABC has personally produced that will air on Saturday, March 28th @ 8/7c. On ABC Com you can find out all about different shows and movies in detail, as well as about every actor and actress in bios. In the 2009 tv season, there are so many diverse shows to watch that are new and many series that are too interesting not to be followed up with. ABC’s schedule can be accessed as well as free episodes to determine what programming is available and to find out what shows are on and when. One of the funniest sitcoms on ABC is ‘According To Jim’ which stars Jim Belushi (Mr. Destiny, K-9, Homer and Eddie) returning with new episodes on Tuesday March 24th at 8/7c.

‘Brothers & Sisters’ (Sundays 10/9c) stars Rob Lowe (Tommy Boy, Austin Powers) and Balthazar Getty (Ladder 49, Lord of the Flies), and follows the Walker family through a chaotic portrayal of modern American life. A compelling drama series, ‘Brothers & Sisters’ is about five close-knit yet somewhat damaged adult siblings and their passionately devoted and strong mother, Nora Walker (Sally Field). ‘Samantha Who?’ (returning with fresh episodes on Thursday March 26th @ 8:30/7:30c) stars the bright and charming Christina Applegate (The Sweetest Thing, Surviving Christmas) as Samantha Newly, who awoke from an 8-day coma with retrograde amnesia who has to reboot her entire life and change herself from the egocentric, horrible person she found out that she had been prior to a hit-and-run accident into a person who truly cares about others to transform former enemies into friends. ‘Life on Mars’ (Wednesdays 10/9c) stars Harvey Keitel (The Ministers, Reservoir Dogs, Little Nicky), Michael Imperioli (The Lovely Bones, The Lovebirds), Gretchen Mol (An American Affair, 3:10 to Yuma).

As well as its main character Sam Tyler (Jason O’Mara of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’,'In Justice’, and ‘Men in Trees’) who is an NYPD Detective. Sam was hurtled backwards in time to 1973 after a freak hit-and-run car accident left him far behind in the cultural hot mess of New York City. Without his cell phone, PDA, computer or MP3 player technology to help him along from 2008, he doesn’t understand what exactly happened that made him travel in time. He teams up with the others at the 125th Precinct to powerfully eradicate crime and live out his life as best as possible while striving to remain a top detective, desperately attempting to get “home.” All of ABC’s programming is greatly entertaining and there are many more shows to choose from. Why not take some time out to read all about it?

We Would Be Lost Without Lost

By Demetri  | Filed in Drama Shows, Lost  |  No comments yet.

Every Wednesday evening at 9/8c the saga of Lost persists. Four full seasons have aired, with the fifth currently in progress. The show has gained in popularity as well as success. It began in 2004 when a commercial airplane wrecked upon a seemingly uninhabited island somewhere in the South Pacific en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. Their crash into oblivion left many dead and the survivors were forced to follow their own strengths and follies. They found out that the island they were deserted on held many secrets. Regardless of what obstacles they face, this group of friends, family, strangers and enemies keep working together to tackle the harsh terrain as well as the cruel climate to stay alive.

Danger and mysterious things lurk around every turn, whether it’s a physical thing or a mental one. Their secrets haunt them just as much as survival mode presses them forward in their determinations. There are heroes and there are zeroes in their mess and they all struggle to figure out what is happening and why they are there. The show stars Matthew Fox as Jack, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Terry O’Quinn (Locke), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Naveen Andrews (Sayid),Emilie De Ravin (Claire), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Yunjin Kim (Sun), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Michael Emerson (Ben), and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet). On their seventy days plus on the island, they’ve encountered a strange smoke monster, several polar bears, odd people along the way including a group of residents better known as “The Others.” They also found signs of other people who were stranded on the island in the past. An ancient statue, a 19th century sailing ship named The Black Rock and bunkers belonging to a rogue group of scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative were found by the group that unfortunately crash landed.

As in real life, their lives interweave in patterns as they separate to achieve goals and find each other again. They’ve lasted in the tropics throughout thick and thin to shine, receiving acclamations from numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, and the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. In 2010, a sixth set will be the final year Lost will be produced. This exciting and refreshing show just keeps getting better. I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how the show is going to carry forward since Kate and Sawyer have hooked up, Sun’s baby is on the way and what will become of Charlie and Claire? Just as it began, it will be phenomenal to see how it will end.

Do You Like The Ghost Whisperer?

digg del.icio.us  TRACK  TOP
By Demetri  | Filed in Prime Time TV, Television  |  No comments yet.

I’ll openly admit it - as soon as I saw this show coming on back in 2005 on CBS I was all for it. It wasn’t even the show plot necessarily - it was all about Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt). I have loved her ever since I first saw Can’t Hardly Wait, which by the way is one of my fave movies ever (in one of those annoying people that knows every single line). Just the same, I did end up watching the first episode and like millions of other people I was absolutely hooked. I don’t know, maybe if it was any other actress I wouldn’t like it as much - but Jennifer just plays the part so darn well. So what exactly is up with this show?

Ghost Whisperer is an episodic series that follows the life of Melinda Gordon, a young woman who has the ability to see and communicate with the dead. Each episode deals with one or more ghosts seeking Melinda’s help in relaying a message or completing a task that will put the spirit to rest, and allow them to “cross over” into The Light, a metaphor presented by the show as its conception of Heaven. Crossing over is when a spirit leaves earth and goes to heaven (however this can’t be confirmed as she herself stated she doesn’t know what is on the other side). There are two places in the hereafter, when the ghosts “cross over”: The Light and the Dark Side as mentioned above. These two places are one of the main points of the show.

The Light -
When Melinda helps ghosts cross over, they see a bright light. The Light is invisible to viewers and shown only a few times such as in episodes The Vanishing, The One, Giving up the Ghost (briefly) and The Gathering. Almost all the spirits Melinda helps in the show cross over into the light.

The Dark Side -
Not all spirits cross over into the Light. Some cross over to the dark side. Spirits who are trapped in this Limbo are exposed to hate and anger. Even So, some ghosts stay on the earth, whether because of an evil force, or incomplete business. Some do not even know they are dead. These spirits can reside above the surface (such as ghosts that haunt people) or in The Underneath (where evil spirits stay).

If you like the ghost type of shows as much as I do (think Ghost Hunters) then you will love this movie. Honestly I would tell you to start watching it from the very beginning. You have to know what’s going on and who everyone is! A lot has happened in the past few seasons so you seriously need to catch up. Don’t watch the next episode or you will ruin it! I love this show. And I really think if you give it a fair chance - you will love it too! Other cast members include; Jim Clancy/Sam (David Conrad), Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), Ned Banks (Christoph Sanders) and the newly intro’d Eli James (Jamie Kennedy)!

All of us love TV, but who’s to say that because you love Criminal Minds and wont watch Life On Mars - that you are missing a truly superb movie? Well, some people really are stuck on what they watch while others simply don’t know anything about other shows - so they choose not to take the dive to watch them. What if you hate it? TV is all about being in that comfort zone. You know. You come home from a hard days work and you can count on Steve Carell from The Office to make you laugh or Lawrence Fishburne from CSI to make you think. You are comfy on your couch, your in the zone, and your enjoying it. Why mess with perfection? Because! You could really be missing out on an awesome show all because of your comfort zone. There are a ton of shows out there. Think of it like a buffet. You don’t go up and get the same thing every time do ya? Well you shouldn’t! Lets check out a few other shows you could toss into your TV nights, you never know if you will like them unless you try them!

My Name Is Earl is set in the fictional Camden County. The series stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jaime Pressly, Eddie Steeples and Nadine Velazquez. Lee stars in the title role as “Earl J. Hickey”, a petty crook with occasional run-ins with the law, whose newly won $100,000 lottery ticket is lost when he is hit by a car. Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, he develops a belief in the concept of karma when he hears about it during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly. He decides he wants to turn his life around and makes a list of all the bad things he’s ever done. After doing his first good deed, he finds his $100,000 lottery ticket. He sees this as a sign and, with his new lucky money, he proceeds to cross items off the list, one by one, by doing good deeds to atone for them.

Kath & Kim is a Logie Award-winning character-driven Australian television comedy series, created by Jane Turner and Gina Riley. The series revolves around the family matters and relationships of the title characters, a dysfunctional mother and daughter. Kath & Kim stars Jane Turner as Kath Day-Knight, a cheerful 50-something divorcee currently in a happy relationship with her fiance (and then husband), the prissy Kel Knight. She deals with her spoilt, ever complaining, 20-something daughter Kim Craig; Kim’s unlucky, sports obsessed second best friend Sharon Strzelecki; Kim’s estranged husband Brett Craig; and their baby daughter Epponnee Rae Craig. The series is set in the fictional suburb of Fountain Lakes, in Melbourne, Victoria, but is primarily filmed in and around areas of Patterson Lakes, Melbourne.

The Office is an Emmy-Award winning American television sitcom airing on NBC and developed by Greg Daniels. It is an American adaptation of the BBC series with the same name and depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Unlike many American sitcoms, The Office is shot in a single-camera setup, without a studio audience or a laugh track, and is made in the form of a documentary. Although fictional and scripted, the presence of the camera is openly acknowledged by the series’ characters.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is an American crime drama television series. CSI premiered on CBS on October 6th, 2000. The ninth season began airing on October 9th, 2008 and currently airs in the United States on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. The show was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is filmed primarily at Universal Studios in Universal City, California. CSI Las Vegas is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Productions, which became CBS Paramount Television in the fall of 2006. Formerly a co-production with the now-defunct Alliance Atlantis Communications, that company’s interest in the series is now owned by investment firm GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs.

Flashpoint is about the dramatic portrayal of an elite tactical unit, called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force (styled on the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force, Toronto being where the series is filmed). The SRU are tasked to resolve extreme situations that regular officers cannot handle including hostage-taking, bomb threats and heavily armed criminals. Even though they’re backed with high-tech equipment with an arsenal of explosives, tasers, sub-machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, the SRU operators use intuition and judgement to resolve the situation.

The Mentalist is an American crime procedural television series which debuted on September 23, 2008 on CBS. Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker stars as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. He also makes frequent use of his mentalist abilities to lead witnesses or offenders into offering the actual facts of the case, as known only to them. Within the Bureau, Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Jane’s role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents.
