Scrubs is not over yet...


News Flash!

Perez Hitlon is reporting that Scrubs actually isn't over yet! For all of you that were upset by the so-called "series finale", cry no more! Scrubs will be returning to a new station in the Fall!

Scrubs recently got the boot from NBC, but ABC came to it's rescue. It will probably work out better this way anyway, since ABC is a much better station than NBC.

Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke will only be appearing for six of the season's epidsodes, but it has been confirmed that Donald Faison and John C. McGinley, and Neil Flynn will be shown throughout the entire season.

Do David Archuleta and David Cook have swine flu?


Although David Archuleta and David Cook have shown no signs or symptoms of the swine flu, they were both forced into being checked for the virus when they arrived in The Phillipines to perform a concert. Had they denied the request they could have been faced with the cancellation of their concert or they may have even been arrested, so naturally they agreed.

There is no word yet on the results, but we're sure they're swine-flu-free, as they have shown no signs of being ill.

Archuleta and Cook are also being told not to get to close to people and how to use hand sanitizer (as if they didn't already know any of this).

The boys have both contacted their lawyers almost immediantly after being asked for the medical checkup.

I think that this is going a little too far. I could understand the precautions if the boys showed signs of an illness, but they both seem to be in perfect health. Do you guys feel that this is a violation of their privacy, or just a precaution to avoid getting and spreading the swine flu virus?

Not everyone loves Adam Lambert...

All throughout this season of American Idol Adam Lambert has practically been worshipped as a God. I can't remember the last time he was criticized by any of the judges for his performance. Was he ever even criticized? Just last week Simon begged voters to vote for Adam (not that he really needed the judges to beg the viewers to vote for him...) and Katy Perry lost a large amount of my respect for her by pimping out Adam Lambert as she wore a cape with his name on it during her performance on Idol.

With this being said it makes perfect sense that Adam Lambert is in the finale. As Simon Cowell says, he's a "ding-dong". He will inevitably win American Idol season 8 because everyone loves him, right?

Maybe not.

Chris Daughtry, lead singer of the band, Daughtry and past Idol contestant (whom many will argue should have won season 6) is not rooting for Adam Lambert.

The highly sucessful platinum-selling artist admitted that he is not into Adam Lambert and is instead rooting for Kris Allen to win Season 8 of American Idol. TMZ has a video where Chris Daughtry explains that Adam Lambert isn't his "type".

I guess Adam Lambert is too "GLAM" for Daughtry...

Is anyone going to try to get tickets for the show? I'm really interested in getting tickets for their final show at The Borgata in Atlantic City. A few weeks ago I saw the No Doubt reunion tour there and let me tell you, if you want to see an amazing show, The Borgata is definitely the place to go.
