Coco Scene! The Week In Review....

Wow! What a week for Entertainment... let's review shall we???

Mariah ... now we know why she set her mind to loose all that weight!

She had to get into her wedding dress! Mariah and Nick Cannon wed in the Bahamas.

Congrats!

Britney goes home to Kentwood, LA to celebrate her pregnant underage sister, Jamie Lynn Spears baby shower...

what a joyous occasion...

Now, we have the Tom Cruise on Oprah show... celebrating 25 years..



Okay.. has anyone noticed that he isn't a star material anymore?? Whatever poor Tom had with all his wierdness..scientology... "Cruise Control" of Katie ...etc..

He seems to have lost his star power..that certain something that can carry film..the last time I saw it was Jerry Maguire..

I am not saying he isn't a nice guy but... he just isn't someone I would lust after.



Now Patrick Dempsey on the other hand... has that it quality. He just needs the right vehicle ... Made of Honor was not it.. he was awesome... but the story was worthy of his... hmmm..how should we put it???..magnetism?

Now I have always loved Robert Downey Jr. - even his off the wall roles ...like "Ian" in Wierd Science. But with all of his issues... talent without discipline = disaster...Downey did fumble .. alot. We are glad to see him back with Gwyneth in Iron Man! We will cross our fingers for Robert this time around!



Now, this is a really awesome, fun movie!

Toodles.

Coco Scene! Teen Idols fall... Miley... this week

Okay... this has been the year of tween Idol break down... I am starting to think that a course on decision making needs to be added to every school curriculum! Or perhaps Disney needs to create a parenting course required for stage Moms and Dads?

First, we have the Naughty Vanessa Hudgens who made us ask, "What did teens do before there were cameras on cell phones?"

Then we have the Poster Child for Teen Pregnancy, Jamie Lynn Spears...expecting a girl, we hear... lovely.. continuing the heritage of Spears' girls.

This week it is Miley Cyrus who is at the head of the class... While doing a cover shoot with Annie Lebowitz for Vanity Fair... Miley was allowed to make a bad decision about appropriateness of a particular set of photo shots...Daddy and baby sister had left the set for another appointment and Miley, aka Hannah Montana, was left with her Grandmother and a teacher.

First, I say, "Fire the teacher." Clearly she has not successfully done her job.

As for the rest... shame on Vanity Fair and Annie Lebowitz... put a 15 year old girl in a compromising situation?! No - she is not old enough to have made a better decision... on her own.

I am sure Playboy and Hustler have positions available for people with your "special" talents, Annie. By the way, the topless picture of Miley was down right Ugly... people pay you for that Gothic-from the 80's horror film shots?! Yuck!


Miley should have known better -at 15 years old - what 15 year old does... no matter how famous?

Daddy and Mommy need to be there no matter how legitimate the situation may be. This is not a good omen of what will happen in 3 years when Miley is 18 years old and expected to make all of her own choices... as well as take the consequences.

Disney needs to take note... Nick as well... even if the studios are supporting train wreck tween stars... eventually... Parents will not trust the studios for decent, wholesome entertainment and make other choices for their children. Rein those star parents in and make them do their job!


On a better note, Britney will be back on TV reprising her role on How I met Your Mother... and not making headlines with her decision making skills... thank goodness for Daddy. Maybe she can actually make it back to reality... time will tell.


Toodles.

Coco Scene! Chikezie! Sambora! Jamie Lynn Spears!

Chikezie was let go on American Idol last night. You know, somebody has to go, but this guy was genuinely a sweetheart. And of all the contestants, he was one of the two or three who seemed the most adult. We will miss you, Chikezie!

We have to admit we have a little thing for the Aussie Hottie - Michael Johns




Maybe it is the fact that Heath left us far too soon... and there is just something ...



familiar... that and Johns has a cool "Jim Morrison-ish " rockstar voice. But, we will see what happens...

Jamie Lynn Spears gets engaged! Wow, how exciting. At 16, the best gift would be a double-wide mobile home and a membership to the "I AM SO STUPID CLUB". Momma Spears sure can raise 'em!
Finally, speaking of parents, let's give it up for "Mr. You Give Dads a Bad Name" Richie Sambora. Caught drunk driving with 10-year old daughter Ava in the car. Wow, leaving Heather was a great decision. You make a swinging single dad, Rich. Love the pic by the way..

Toodles!

Coco Scene! Parenting at it's finest....

Jamie Lynn and Britney....what in the world were they taught at home? Now, neither one is employable. Looks as if Jamie Lynn's show on Nickelodeon "Zoey 101" has been ... hmmm how should be put it???.... permanently retired due to unforeseen circumstances or due to the anticipated arrival of the sixteen year old's love child. How... trailer park. Really...

Toodles!


***PS... Nickelodeon seems to be changing their tune - Now - in their moral wisdom - the program spokesman, Dan Martinsen has now told MTV, "We have not made any change to our schedule." Zoey 101's final season is to air in February.


We wonder if Jamie Lynn will be showing just in time for the show's finale??? We knew there was more than just commercials that kept us from letting our darling children watch the Nickelodeon channel...

Toodles again!
