Are you looking for a great tasting, very food friendly wine to impress your dinner party guests? It's hard to go wrong with Santa Marherita's Pinot Grigio from Trentino-Alto Adige appellation, near the foothills of the Alps. And don't just take my word for it ... this has been an incredibly popular wine for quite a long time. In fact, for the last 13 years Wine & Spirits magazine has listed Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio as the most popular imported wine sold within the top restaurants... Read Full Story

After sampling (or perhaps indulging in) a few of the [yellow tail] wines, their popularity should really come as no surprise; the Casella Estate just makes great, affordable wine. This is certainly evidenced by the rate at which these wines have been flying off the racks; in fact, the [yellow tail] shiraz is the top selling red wine in the US and [yellow tail] also enjoys its perch atop the best selling merlot category. There's no question those are two great wines, but I've got a secret to... Read Full Story

I have to give Rosie credit for one thing .... she's consistent. She shoots her mouth off about everything and everybody, without really thinking things completely through. Fresh off of shooting her yap off about Donald Trump, Clay Aiken, Kelly Ripa, Danny DeVito and co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck (and I'm sure I'm missing others) she allows her lips to stumble into the ring again about American Idol and Antonella Barba. What's got her screaming now? Well, she's pointing out what she... Read Full Story

Hey hey everyone. Antonella Barba has definitely shaken up American Idol and the Internet search engines of late with the release of her sexy nude pics. Have they kept her alive on American Idol? Who really knows, but despite her lack of singing ability (compared to some of the others) she does give me a reason to watch. For the past couple of weeks I've been anxious to see what she performs, hoping that she would embrace the recent storylines and give me the performance I've been... Read Full Story

Well well well. It seems Antonella Barba survived another results night on American Idol. This week Antonella sang "Because You Loved Me," by Celine Dion; I can't believe enough people actually loved her singing enough to keep her around on the show, which leads me to the belief that there may be something else at play here. Perhaps, hmmmm ... .I dunno ..... maybe some nude pics that are circulating around the Internet .... So I'm thinking maybe having "fans" voting on the performers... Read Full Story

According to CNN, Michael Devlin, the guy who's accused of kidnapping two Missouri boys (Shawn Hornbeck - 15 and Ben Ownby - 13) has now been indicted in Federal Court on 6 charges: 4 counts of child pornography and 2 counts of transporting a minor across state lines to engage in sexual activity. Good for the sicko ... I hope he rots. Read Full Story

Tonight should be a big night for all of you American Idol fans ... it's ladies night, which means Antonella Barba will be taking the stage for the first time since the big sexy, nude pic scandal. I'm sure she's feeling the pressure to perform (I'm talking about singing) to prove all those wrong who have been yacking about her real talent being her body, not her singing. How do you think she'll do tonight? Personally, I think she'll suck ... I don't think she'll sing all that well either... Read Full Story

Not to be outdone by her on again off again BFF (or at least best friend sometimes) Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton has gotten herself into a bit of a potentially social calendar hazardous situation. Paris lost her driver's license for a DUI charge (sound familiar?) back in November and was just caught driving yesterday, obviously without a valid license. She was also speeding and driving without her headlights on (I'm assuming this means her car, but you never know in LA). Anyway, if convicted... Read Full Story

The last couple of days has really brought out a couple of very important truths in the entertainment world. If you were reading my posts from yesterday, you will have discovered that the much talked about sex pics of Antonella Barba, from American Idol, are in fact fakes. If you missed it, click here to see the post (there are links to pics which demonstrate that the hardcore shots are not Antonella). However, in even bigger news (can you sense the sarcasm?) it seems Katharine McPhee's... Read Full Story

Just when American Idol was starting to get good, news comes out that the real racy pics of Antonella Barba are not really her ... just the softer porn. There are more pics of the girl engaged in the less than ladylike situation to compare to Antonella, but you can be the judge. Check out the differences between the two girls by clicking here. Not that it really mattered to me anyway ... I thought American Idol was supposed to be a singing contest, not Morality Idol. If it was Antonella... Read Full Story
