So Is Jack the New Jacob on LOST?
Will Jack take the role of Jacob? Will Hurley be the new Richard Alpert? Will Sawyer be the new Ben?
So sad when LOST comes to an end this month.

Week 7 of Dancing with the Stars Was Maglorious!
After an average Week 6 of Dancing with the Stars, Week 7 was maglorious (magnificent and glorious). Every couple crushed it with the lowest individual score of 8 and no 7’s in the bunch.
Erin Andrews and Maks set the tone early with a near pant-less quickstep earning them a 27. Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke danced to a Coldplay song? I didn’t even notice, but more telling was their score of 9 from Len Goodman. That got a smile on the face of #85.
The DWTS judges ultimately did Nicole Scherzinger a favor. They got hostess Brooke Burke off of Nicole’s case. The judges flat out told Nicole that she’s the best dancer ever to participate in DWTS, so no more comparisons please Brooke Burke. 🙂 And way to rock the Aloha spirit with all the leis, Ms. Scherzinger. Looked like local kine graduation!
Pamela Anderson received the lowest score of the night with 24 and is in elimination danger. Pam’s entertaining, but she isn’t progressing as much as the others. She held her own in the Lady Gaga dance troupe but barely. Niecy Nash is the other one in elimination jeopardy, but she’s actually showing more progression.
Week 7 belonged to the maglorious Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya. Maybe they were aided by the crescendo of the solid performances before them, but this couple’s Argentine Tango electrified the audience and soothed Anna’s hubby.
Ok if @evanlysacek & @atrebunskaya don’t get 10s ima kill the judges

Jamie Oliver’s One Wish to Change the World
Food Revolution’s Jamie Oliver asks for his one wish to change the world in his TED Prize winning talk.
If you’ve watched the Food Revolution on television, you’ll see lots of material referenced in Jamie’s talk. But if you haven’t watched this compelling series, this 20-minute talk is a great summary of what Jamie’s been doing to change the state of food in the US and around the world.
What is Jamie’s one wish to change the world?
I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.
Good Pick Up: Kaskade Dynasty
This week, Kaskade released their latest CD, Dynasty, and after great reviews on iTunes and making the top albums list, I decided to pick up a copy. It’s a great pickup at $10 for 13 dance tracks. You can hit play and lose yourself in the music.
For whatever reason, Dynasty isn’t available on Amazon until May 11 and doesn’t feature the bonus track available on iTunes. So head on over to iTunes for Dynasty.
Punk’d or Not?
I’m not really sure what to make of this promotion by Lunchables for Field Trips for All. I love the actual promotion where Oscar Mayer is giving away 50 field trips to deserving classrooms, but I don’t know if this video properly portrays the promotion. Seems like these kids got punk’d??

5 Ways Nicole Scherzinger Can Fail at Dancing with the Stars
Lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, is clearly the choice to win the mirrorball trophy of Dancing with the Stars. Her ballroom routine in week 1 was solid, and her week 2 jive was part perfection. So how can Nicole lose Dancing with the Stars? Here are five ways.
1. A sick Derek Hough
Remember when Derek Hough was out with the flu in Season 9? Joanna Krupa had to temporarily partner with Maks, and although Maks is a bad ass, that changeup was difficult at crunch time. Derek Hough can’t overexert himself. So no more Ballas Hough Band until after the conclusion of Season 10.
2. Don’t cover up
There’s a reason why Nicole is a member of the Pussycat Dolls. She got the look.
And now with Edyta out, DWTS will need costume challenged performances from Nicole.
3. Spat with Brooke Burke
Focus on the dances and overlook any cattiness with new DWTS hostess Brooke Burke.
So what if Brooke is a former champion and partner of Derek Hough? This is your season.
4. Don’t get all diva
Did you see Kate Gosselin pick apart her pro partner and teacher, Tony Dovolani? That diva attitude is dangerous and definitely not endearing so Nicole, take note. Stay humble, thank your fans, appreciate each week on the show, bring in your family and friends, and oh yeah, keep promoting the Aloha State.
5. Get a dorky nickname
When the pairing of Nicole and Derek get a nickname blending their names, you know it’s too late. D-Cole? Hozinger? FAIL!
