As Tiger Woods Announces Return To Golf, So Do Fans

As Tiger Woods announced his return to Golf and The Masters, ticket prices went through the roof even more than they were when it was just speculation that Tiger would return.

The tickets, which are normally $200 are going for about $2 grand in some circles. 

CBS, which carries The Masters is breathing a sigh of relief knowing that Tiger will be returning.  Golf coverage and ratings has been down since Tiger left and The Masters to CBS with Tiger Woods playing is like the NBA getting LeBron versus Kobe in the NBA Finals; ratings gold. 

Even golfers who behind the scenes may not care abot Tiger are sure glad he is back.  More cameras, more attention is a good thing for them.  It’s not like Phil Mickelson was going to lay the verbal smackdown on Tiger anyway. 

Will you be rooting for Tiger at The Masters or rooting against him?-Dr.FB

Selita Ebanks had on one of the hottest costumes of the year. Not going to lie, I had no idea who she was til I saw her in this outfit.

It seems Selita is a supermodel and will be in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on CBS next month.  This photo was taken before Selita was going into Heidi Klum’s Annual Halloween event.

If Selita keeps making statements like this, you may see more of her soon here.-Dr.FB

2009 Emmy Awards & Winners….

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Television on September 21st, 2009 by drfunkenberry

emmysThe 2009 Emmy Awards were last night and hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, who I am sure did a great job.  Much better than not having a host like in Emmys past or having multiple hosts.

Will the ratings be higher or will have most Americans have been watching the Giants beat the Cowboys on NBC instead like I did? The Emmys were moved away from the Cowboy game, 1 week ahead but Viacom, who owns MTV and CBS did not want the MTV Awards and the Emmys on the same date, so it was moved back.

So, did you watch the Emmys last night? Even if you did or not, here is the full list of winners.-Dr.FB

Yesterday, the Emmy’s got their man. Neil Patrick Harris will host this years Emmy’s.

The show will air on September 20th against the Dallas Cowboys New York Giants game. HavingNPH host the show should bringin a few more million viewers but in the end, the Cowboy game will get higher ratings.  At least with Neil as host, CBS will have me DVR-ing the show.-Dr.FB

The Emmys To Take On The Dallas Cowboys & Lose!

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Sports, Television on June 18th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

emmysThe Emmy’s, after announcing they were moving the award show to September 13th to not compete with football, have now moved it back to September 20th.

The reason? The MTV Video Music Awards, which sucked butterballs last year.  Both networks are owned by Viacom and you just can’t have both compete.

  Now, by moving the award show back to September 20th, it will be put against NBC;s Sunday Night Football which will have Tony Romo & The Dallas Cowboys versus Eli Manning & The New York Giants, basically, a ratings bonanza and an Emmy killer.

The Cowboys each time they had a game on Sunday Night Football last year, would win the ratings for the week and were also NBC’s highest rated games of the year.  Add in it is the Cowboys home opener at their new stadium and the ESPN coverage that will follow, CBS is majorly F’d!

The last time the Giants played the Cowboys in a home opener, the ratings were in the 30 million range. (I was there.)  We are talking American Idol numbers. Not to mention the Emmy’s are still on tape delay in the West Coast so while watching the game, you can find out the winners online. 

Side note: The Cowboys have NEVER lost a game I attended.  Unfortunately, unless Tony hooks me up..cough cough..scuse me, I will not be at that game.  :)

Face it; until the Emmy’s move to a nation-wide live telecast, something else will catch the viewers eyes, no matter who the host is.-Dr.FB

From Late Show CBS:

The Crew of US Airways “Miracle On The Hudson” Flight 1549
Vists LATE SHOW On Tuesday, February 10th
 

Making their first late-night television talk show appearance since the accident, Captain Chesley Sullenberger, First Officer Jeffrey B. Skiles, and flight attendants Donna DentDoreen Welsh and Sheila Dail will join Dave to talk about their harrowing and heroic experience. 

Moments after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport, Capt. Chesley and his crew were faced with an emergency situation when Capt. Sullenberger reported a ‘double bird strike’ over the Bronx, resulting in a loss of power in both engines. Without enough time to return to LaGuardia, Capt. Sullenberger and his crew managed to land the Airbus A320 smoothly in the icy waters of the Hudson and, with the help of New York City emergency services, rescued all 155 passengers on board. It is believed that the plane hit a flock of birds after it left LaGuardia, and the National Transportation Safety Board is continuing its investigation into the incident. 

Don’t miss this special LATE SHOW on Tuesday, February 10th. 

Late Show with David Letterman airs 11:30pm ET/PST

The Big Bang Theory Is Finally Starting To Explode On CBS

Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Television on November 10th, 2008 by drfunkenberry
Big Bang Theory Promo.

Big Bang Theory Promo.

What was seen last year in it’s first season by Entertainment Weekly was a show that should have been cancelled. 

True, at the start it fumbled a little bit, but since then has been comically brilliant, funny, charming and the cast very like able.  Even Entertainment Weekly has come around seeing it the way I do. 

The cast, Johnny Galecki as nerdy Leonard, Jim Parsons as even more nerdy Sheldon, Kaley Cuoco as the hot neighbor Penny, Simon Helborg as horny geek Howard, Kunal Nayyar as the indian geek Rajesh Koothrappali, and Sara Gilbert as Sheldon’s nemesis, Leslie.
I love Johnny Galecki’s chemistry with Penny and Jim Parson’s character that annoys and entertains us all at the same time.  Breaking stereotypes and fitting a stereotype all at the same time is Kunal’s character Rajesh.  
If you like to laugh and have 30 minutes, The Big Bang Theory should be saved on your DVR’s/Tivo’s when it airs on CBS 8 P.M. Monday nights.-Dr.FB
