Heaven...I'm In Heaven...

Okay, you've been to my blog before. What's the absolute best news I could possibly receive?

No, Zach Braff hasn't developed painful bladder stones. Good guess, though. (The top two links on his blog today? "Please vote for Zach, Natalie, Peter and Garden State at the 10th Annual Moviefone Moviegoer Awards" and "Buy the Garden State Poster at allposters.com" Way to shill, Zachary!)

Even better than that. Give up?

6 words:

The. Ashlee. Simpson. Show. Season. 2.

Take it away, Yahoo:

The second season of Simpson's unscripted MTV reality show, "The Ashlee Simpson Show," premieres Jan. 26 and will capture the "SNL" appearance and preparation for her first nationwide tour, which begins Feb. 18 at Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheatre.

OMG! Yes! If you missed Season One of Ashlee's show, you are probably thinking to yourself that I am somehow less than a manly man for enjoying it. But it's quite possibly the Greatest Reality Show of All Time. Ashlee and her father, Pastor Joe's, exciting adventures in the Land of Marketing and PR will delight the entire family, ages 4 to, oh, about 32, I'd say.

The article itself is pretty funny. It's not really about the exciting announcement of Ash. Simp. V. 2.0, but about how Ashlee was booed during a performance of her hit single "La La" at the Orange Bowl Halftime Show.

Even though I received my Master's Degree from USC, I am not a football fan, and did not watch the Orange Bowl. If I had only known Ashlee was going to perform, I could give you a personal account of how the booing went down, but I'll just have to rely on Yahoo's explanation:

The 20-year-old singer received a discernible chorus of boos following a performance of her song "La La."

"You make me wanna scream," she sang before the audience jeered.


My roommate Nathan referred to it as the worst live vocal performance he'd heard yet from Simpson, which is saying something after the American Music Awards (or the Radio Music Awards, or the Music Radio International Blockbuster Billboard's Choice Music Awards, or whatever the hell music award show she was on right after the SNL debacle).

Anyway, I can't wait to catch up on Ashlee's incredibly exciting, glamorous and not at all shallow lifestyle starting the end of this month on MTV. It sure beats developing a social life of my own!
