Do you like reality tv?

If you do, Trashwire has a brand new blog just for you!

Inspired by all the positive response to our Big Brother Blog, Alexis recently started TheTVGeek.com, a brand new companion blog to Trashwire that will focus on reality tv.

Don’t expect to see coverage of the huge juggernaut shows like American Idol or Survivor here. This blog will cover some some of the best guilty pleasure shows on TV as well as some smaller shows you might have missed.

Want to know who got kicked off Celebracadabra? Looking for behind the scenes clips from American Gladiators? Alexis will also keep you informed with reality updates and video clips from your favorite shows.
Here’s an example post from TheTVGeek…

RuPaul’s Drag Race will air on Logo

It seems that RuPaul will be hosting his very own America’s Next Top Model type show for drag queens. Here’s some info from RuPaulsDragRace.com:

Drag is an art. Be it good or bad, sloppy or skillful, we love a man in a wig. That’s why LOGO and renowned drag performer Rupaul have decided to team up to host a drag competition where we’ll eventually be crowning the #1 Queen in the country!

I thin it sounds like a great idea. Miss Jay from America’s Next Top Model wishes he was a “fierce” as RuPaul and Tyra Banks has always reminded me of a drag queen, so it’s only fitting that one of the best drag queens of all time is going to be the Tyra on this new twist to ANTM. Check out the contestants and vote for your favorite on RuPaulsDragRace.com

MTV Movie Awards nominees and predictions

Leave a comment

Voting is now open for the MTV Movie Awards.

Nominees:

Best Comedic Performance:
Amy Adams – Enchanted
Johnny Depp – Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Jonah Hill – Superbad
Seth Rogen – Knocked Up
Adam Sandler – I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
While Jonah Hill deserves this more than anyone else on this list, or possible in any film of the entire year, I think it will go to Seth Rogen because, well, he’s a genius.

Best Female Performance:
Amy Adams – Enchanted
Jessica Biel – I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Katherine Heigl – Knocked Up
Keira Knightly – Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Ellen Page – Juno
It’s gotta go to Ellen Page. Juno was one of the best films of the year and her performance was simply stellar.

Best Fight:
Alien vs. Predator – Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
Hayden Christiensen vs. Jamie Bell – Jumper
Matt Damon vs. Joey Ansah – The Bourne Ultimatum
Sean Faris vs. Cam Gigandet – Never Back Down
Tobey Maguire vs. James Franco – Spiderman 3
Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan vs. Sun Ming Ming – Rush Hour 3
I think I have to give this one to Tobey Maguire and James Franco. Spiderman 3 kinda sucked, but the fight sequence was pretty cool.

Best Kiss:
Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey – Enchanted
Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman – Step Up 2 the Streets
Shia LaBeouf and Sarah Roemer – Disturbia
Ellen Page and Michael Cera – Juno
Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
If this doesn’t go to Ellen Page and Michael Cera, something is wrong with the universe. That was one of the best screen kisses ever, if not one of the best scenes ever. Brilliant all around!

Best Male Performance:
Michael Cera – Juno
Matt Damon – The Bourne Ultimatum
Shia LaBeouf – Transformers
Will Smith – I Am Legend
Denzel Washington – American Gangster
Michael Cera is clearly the best here (can you tell I’m a huge Juno fan?) but I kinda think this one’s going to Shia LeBeouf.

Best Villain:
Javier Bardem – No Country for Old Men
Johnny Depp – Sweeney Todd
Topher Grace – Spider-Man 3
Angelina Jolie – Beowulf
Denzel Washington – American Gangster
I don’t know how many MTV-aged kids saw it, but Javier Bardem was so fantatic in No Country that he should probably win almost anything he’s nominated for.

Breakthrough Performance:
Nikki Blonsky – Hairspray
Chris Brown – This Christmas
Michael Cera -Superbad
Zac Efron -Hairspray
Megan Fox -Transformers
Jonah Hill -Superbad
Christopher Mintz-Plasse – Superbad
Seth Rogen – Knocked Up
If we’re talking breakthrough, the real winner should be Christoper Mintz-Plasse because this was his first foray into acting and who doesn’t love McLovin?

Best Summer Movie So Far:
The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Iron Man
Sex And The City: The Movie
Speed Racer
If we look at the box office, it should be Iron Man, but Indiana Jones could also take it home.

Best Movie:
I Am Legend
Juno
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Superbad
Transformers
Clearly I want Juno or Superbad to win this award. Both are witty, smart and well-written… and I have kind of a thing for Michael Cera. Despite all that, I think this one’s gonna belong to Transformers. This is MTV after all.

My Chemical Romance : Rock Superheroes

My Chemical Romance signed my review of their show last March

It’s hard for me to write a review of a My Chemical Romance show without filling it with hyperbole and grand statements about how they are the greatest band ever. After seeing them last March at Magness Arena during their giant tour supporting The Black Parade, I was beyond excited to get another chance to bathe in the awesomeness of MCR.

These days, there are hundreds of ways to watch videos online and sometimes it can be hard to weed out the crap from the good stuff. Sites like YouTube are polluted with poor quality videos or catch-them-while-they-last clips from your favorite TV shows. That’s where Hulu.com comes in.
