Entertainment - entertainment's Blog - Bakersfield.com http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment en-us Ladies, get ready! Jason Mesnick is the new Bachelor! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/32217 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/32217 <p>As I watched the season finale of The Bachelorette, having watched all seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, never have I felt so bad for someone who didn't get picked then I did for Jason Mesnick. I was so sad (actually bawling...lol) for him that I couldn't even be happy for the other guy, Jesse, who was a really nice guy, too! Jason is from Washington and he is a divorced single father of a three year old boy named Ty!</p> <p>From the minute that Jason was shown on the show, there was no doubt that he was a nice guy. Watching him through out the season and watching how he acts with his son, just makes you realize that there really are good men in this world and it makes you wish you had someone like Jason. So much so that since he was rejected, women and family members of women who are single have been frantically trying to get Jason's email address or phone number or any way to contact this man because they are or have the perfect person for him. They have also begged ABC to feature him as The Bachelor and the ladies finally have their wish!!! Needless to say, he will be one that is the favorite out of all men that have ever been on The Bachelor and as far as I am concerned, he deserves it! Go Jason!</p> <p>--Kari</p>

Personally, I think he is a great actor and I hope he is able to recover and work again. Here is the story! <a href="http://www.bakersfield.com/896/story/514252.html">http://www.bakersfield.com/896/story/514252.html</a></p> <p>Christina Applegate has an early form of breast cancer. Kind of sad, because her long time on and off again boyfriend just died a couple months ago. It looks like she will recover though! Here is the story! <a href="http://www.bakersfield.com/896/story/514045.html">http://www.bakersfield.com/896/story/514045.html</a></p> <p>And have you seen the Brangelina twins yet? People published pictures of Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt. You can check it out online at <a href="http://www.people.com">www.people.com</a> or pick up the magazine that hits newsstands today! Brad and Angelina got 14 million dollars for the pics, which is going to charity!</p> <p>--Kari</p> <p> </p> Love Celebrity Gossip? http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/31010 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/31010 <p>I am hugely addicted to celebrity gossip, I will admit that and you may be able to tell from some of the blogs that I post.</p> <p>As most of you have seen, we have fantasy sports games such as Race To Victory and Beat The Experts Football on our site. I maintain them and occasionally will play the games but I am not into sports at all so I have no idea what I am doing on them.</p> <p>Well, for those of you that don't like sports and follow celebrity gossip, <a href="http://www.tmz.com">TMZ.com</a>, has a game called <a href="http://www.starvsstar.com">Star vs. Star</a>! You choose 10 stars ie. Britney Spears, Keira Knightley, etc. and those stars compete against another player that has 10 stars. You can change your stars whenever you want and it will take effect in the next day. Each league consists of 4 to 8 people and different weeks you compete against different people in your league. The top 4 go to the play-offs and the top 2 after that fight it out to win! The stars get points each week and the more gossip about your star that week the more points you get. Each star is on a list A-D and the D list stars get more points because they are less popular working up to A-list stars who are talked about all the time and get the least points. TMZ pulls the points from their site, People.com, Eonline.com and some other sources.</p> <p>It is alot of fun, very addicting and believe it or not, it can be challenging to keep up with the gossip in time to change your celebrities for the next day! Check it out and if you are anything like me, you will be hooked!</p> <p> </p> <p>--Kari</p> <p> </p> Extreme Makeover home in foreclosure! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/30958 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/30958 <p>Most people would give their right arm for the chance to have Extreme Makeover remodel or make them a home. One couple, who was lucky enough to get that chance, (actually they demolished their house and built a brand new one because of the faulty septic system and I am sure other things) has defaulted on a loan they used the house as collateral for and are losing the house. It looks like they not only built them this house but they gave them a fund to maintain it and scholarships for all three of their kids.</p> <p>Seems like a waste to me because they didn't use this gift to turn their lives around. I am sure it had something to do with not being used to having things and not sure how to manage it.</p> <p>Here is the story! <a href="http://www.bakersfield.com/965/story/508540.html">www.bakersfield.com/965/story/508540.html</a></p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Celebrity Circus! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/29142 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/29142 <p>I happened to have my tv tuned to the channel Celebrity Circus is on and once I started watching the first few minutes, I wanted to watch the rest of it! I was amazed at the tricks that some of them did. Christopher Knight did a trapeze act  that I thought was amazing for someone who had just learned all this stuff and Rachel Hunter did something they were calling the triangle and balanced in the middle of this very small pole while two guys moved her across a highwire! The judges are a little off the wall but I thought it was a great show!</p> <p>Have you check it out? What did you think?</p> <p> </p> <p>--Kari</p> Still want to get married? Do it for free! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/29056 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/29056 <p>I was just looking at the Bakersfield.com calendar and I saw this event: <a href="http://people.bakersfield.com/home/ViewPost/65851">people.bakersfield.com/home/ViewPost/65851</a>.</p> <p>You can still get married and can do it this Friday at KRAB radio station.

It is more just a curiousity thing as to what people are interested in on any given day.</p> <p>I saw one called DVD Easter Eggs. I thought that was an interesting combination so I clicked on it. I guess it is hidden items on a dvd that you can usually get to from the menu on specific dvds. I knew they had special scenes that when you slowed them down or would speed them up, they do certain things......sometimes naughty things....but I was not aware of this! Maybe I am the only one who doesn't know this considering it is #4 on Yahoo Search!</p> <p>I found this website, which has thousands of DVD's, that have hidden items on it! The most popular include Family Guy, Transformers, Harry Potter, Enchanted, etc. Here is the website:  <a href="http://www.hiddendvdeastereggs.com/">www.hiddendvdeastereggs.com/</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>--Kari</p> <p> </p> I survived a Japanese game show! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/28953 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/28953 <p>So, I have posted this link before on my personal blog. It is a game called Human Tetris and it is hilarious!</p> <p><a href="http://video.yahoo.com/watch/702156">http://video.yahoo.com/watch/702156</a></p> <p>The reason I posted this is because they have a new show coming out called I survived a Japanese game show! It looks hilarious! What happens is they take 10 people from America to Japan and have them compete on a game show that is similar to the average Japanese game show. They have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Those game shows are brutal, ours are a cake walk compared to them! I saw the commercials for it and these people go through the ringer and only one of them will come out with $250,000 and can say that they survived a Japanese game show!</p> <p> </p> <p>It is on tonight on ABC at 9 pm! Wanna laugh? Check it out! Would you do this for a chance at  $250,000?</p> AFI's 10 Top 10! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/28653 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/28653 <p>So, the American Film Institute has put out a new list of top movies and have broken it down by 10 categories.</p> <p>Here are the top movies in each category:</p> <p>Animation: <b>Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs</b></p> <p>Fantasy: <b>Wizard of Oz</b></p> <p>Gangster: <b>The</b> <b>Godfather</b></p> <p>Science Fiction: <b>2001: A Space Odyssey</b></p> <p>Western: <b>The Searchers</b></p> <p>Sports: <b>Raging Bull</b></p> <p>Mystery: <b>Vertigo</b></p> <p>Romantic Comedy:<b> City Lights</b></p> <p>Courtroom Drama: <b>To Kill a Mockingbird</b></p> <p>Epic:<b> Lawrence of Arabia</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.afi.com/10TOP10/">Here is the other movies in each category!</a> That link will take you to AFI's website!</p> <p>What do you think of all these movies? Are there any movies that you think should have been in the top 10 and weren't? Or did you hate any of these movies? Most of these movies are older, are there any newer ones that have been overlooked?</p> <p>-Kari</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Big Brother 10 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/27712 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/entertainment/27712 <p>I am an avid Big Brother fan and have watched since the very first episode of season 1. My favorite houseguest of all time is Dr. Evil- Will, who was on season 2 and season 7-All Stars. I recently looked up the schedule for BB 10 and it will air July 13th. Looking around the websites, I saw some speculation on how they are going to mix things up in the house and I found it interesting. My mom, who is also an avid BB fan, didn't like BB 9 as much because they paired them up as couples that were matched to eachother. I liked it but was not a huge fan of some of the people in the house and had no one that I was set on winning but had many that I absolutely did not want to win!</p> <p>The new rumors going around are that the format is going to be similar to Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. They will still be in the house and there will be no tribal council or anything like that but they will either use fans of past BB players and those past BB players or they will use fans and reality show contestants from other popular reality shows. I can't guarantee this will happen, it really is just speculation but I think it is a great idea! Of course, I want Will to come back but the likelyhood of that is small considering he has done 2 of them so far.</p> <p>So, BB fans, what did you think of BB 8? What do you think of the new rumored idea? and Who out of BB houseguests or other reality tv shows would you want to see on BB 10?</p>
