Enter the Fray: Star Trek, Beyonce, and the CMAs

Tagged:


Startrekunderwood_lWhile we were busy picking our Entertainer of the Year, you guys had some pretty great discussions about race and comedy, Ugly Betty, and an Idol tragedy. But the things that got you talkin’ the most this week werepretty disparate topics: the Country Music Awards and J.J. Abrams’ vision of the Star Trek Enterprise.

10. Michael Slezak moderated the age-old a debate of whichcommercial is worse: The Charmin toilet paper ads featuring strange animated bears, or the creepily rotoscoped Charles Schwab spots?

9. Anthony Edwards made his triumphant return to ER (no, notback from the dead), and Whitney Pastorek thought it was pretty contrived.

8. Q: If Kristy Lee Cook releases a country album in themiddle of September and we’re not playing attention, does anyone hear it? A:Only enough people for it to debut at number eight, then fall out of the top 50faster than you can sing ”Celebrate Me Home.”

7. Mandi Bierly wondered how a Miyagi-less ‘Karate Kid’ Remakeis possible.

6. Jeff Probst blogged about the latest episode of Survivor:Gabon.


5. In Memoriam: Ghost Whisperer‘s Jim.

4. It doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch for Beyonce toplay Wonder Woman — she’s already got an alter-ego.

3. Depending on which side your David alliance lies (Cook orArchuleta, obvs), this video of several preteen Archie fans reacting to theirhero’s Idol loss is either hysterical or heartbreaking.

2. Sugarland, Keith Urban, and Carrie Underwood rocked theCMAs. No word on whether Kristy Lee Cook was invited.

1. The most commented-on story this week was our exclusivefirst look of the new Enterprise from next year’s Star Trek film. Don’t say we never did anything nice for you.

  • Kellie Pickler’s album

    Kellie Pickler also rocked the CMAs. Do you have her new album? It’s great and I’m surprised EW didn’t review it. She’s a multiple ACM and CMA nominee and winner of 3 CMT Music awards. You reviewed Taylor Swift’s new album, she wrote a song with Kellie and it’s on Kellie’s album. Why not review all of the country nominee albums?

  • BEYONCE IS NOT WONDER WOMAN MATERIAL

    Beyonce is not Wonder Woman Material. What does Bey have to recommend her to be WW? In what way do you relate to Bey as WW?
    1) She can’t act.
    2) Thinks fighting is like dancing
    3) She is only 5′ 6ΒΌ” (1.68 m), WW is 5’11-6’0
    4) She is black, Wonder Woman is not
    5) Bey has brown eyes, not sparkling blue. To put contacts on would only be cheesy like Jessica Alba in Fantastic Four
    Wonder Woman doesnt beg she commands. Bey doesnt understand what it is 2 b WW so how can she portray her on the screen when you have others vastly more qualified? There is no shortage of actresses who look more like WW & have the right quals. MEgan Gale, Jody Lynn O’kefee, Ivana Milicevic to name a few.
    Yes, Bey is beautiful, talented as a singer & dancer, is married to JayZ but that alone shouldnt be the deciding factor to make her “WW”.
    Our Wonder Woman that we all relate to from the comics and TV would become UNIDENTIFIABLE.
