Will Izzie (Katherine Heigl) Die On Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy

Written by: John

I asked those who are following the Pure TV Network on Twitter “Will Izzie die tonight on Grey’s Anatomy?”

I got a bunch of responses to whether Izzie will die on tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy finale. Check out people’s opinions on Katherine Heigl’s possible death:
Izzie (Katherine Heigl) Dies on Grey's Anatomy?
My answer to “Is it wrong to *hope* so?” was “Since it’s TV, no. If it weren’t TV, then yes. So, hope away.”

After my responses, I also got these 2 interesting replies about Izzie’s death on Grey’s Anatomy and my opinion:
Izzie Totally Dies On Grey's Anatomy
I can’t wait to enjoy 2 hours of pure Grey’s with my wife. What better birthday gift could I give her?

The Visitor – Music and Richard Jenkins’ Oscar Nomination

Written by: John

The Oscars are upon us. I must admit that I’m not a very big fan of all these awards shows. There are far too many and now they are just all mixed together. I never really remember which one is which. However, they have become amazing TV productions that are fun to watch. I especially enjoy flipping to these shows during commercials for other shows, but I digress.

2009 Oscar Nominees Luncheon

I recently was sent an email talking about the Oscar nomination for actor in a leading role of Richard Jenkins. Richard Jenkins really was fantastic in The Visitor and I’m glad to see he was nominated for an Oscar. I’m not sure he’s going to win, but the show was fantastic and Richard Jenkins did a wonderful job portraying the character.

Of course, the best part of The Visitor was actually the music. Check out the music from The Visitor and you’ll see what I mean:

Next Bachelor Jason Mesnick Engaged

Written by: John

We previously reported that Jason Mesnick would be returning to the Bachelor/Bachelorette enterprise, but this time as the bachelor handing out the roses. Reality TV spoilers has a little bit of a Bachelor spoiler per People Magazine which says that Jason Mesnick is engaged after the filming of this season of the Bachelor.

“I’m engaged! I found exactly what I was hoping for, what I was looking for. I’m completely in love.” – Jason Mesnick

Looks like Bachelor fans will really enjoy this season with Jason finding love.

Dirty Sexy Money Premiere

Written by: John

Tonight was the premiere of Dirty Sexy Money. This is a crazy show with little intricacies that really show how well written it is. Unfortunately, if you don’t watch carefully you’ll miss a lot of the connections they’re making. It’s not a show that you can really watch casually. This show also really makes you wonder about what is going on with rich people in the world. It begs the question: how much (if any) of this is true and real.

Here’s a good video of Dirty Sexy Money actors on the red carpet talking about this season of the show:

Tonight’s episode was pretty good, but I think a bunch of it is just setting stuff up for the future. The cool part of the show is that nothing is unreal in this show. They could make up almost anything and have it seem feasible. Quite interesting.

Jason Mesnick To Be The Next Bachelor Come January 2009

Written by: John

ET online reported the following:

ET breaks the news that Jason Mesnick, 32, will be the next star of “The Bachelor” coming to ABC in January 2009.

Female fans crumbled after he dropped to one knee, proposed marriage and got turned down on the season finale of the latest installment of ABC’s “The Bachelorette.” But now he’ll have another shot at finding true love!

Mesnick, the single dad and Seattle-based account executive, will have another shot at finding love while dating 25 hopeful contestants.

Mesnick is a sports enthusiast who is looking for women with a passion for life.

This is an interesting piece of news since Jason Mesnick was so sad to be away from his son. I wonder if the Bachelor will allow him to bring his son with him to stay with him at night and just have a nanny watch the kid while he goes on his dates. Seems reasonable to me.

It should be interesting to see if Jason Mesnick has the appeal of other bachelors. He’s such a soft spoken guy that will have to see if Jason as Bachelor will make good television or not.
