Here in Canada, we get the E! pre-Oscar show on StarTV. This is a two hour program before the telecast begins where you see what the stars are wearing and other shallow stuff like that. Taryn and I have always rather enjoyed this guilty pleasure but this is no longer the case.
The new host of this shlockfest is Star Jones and she's unwatchable. Two minutes of her and I wanted to pull an Elvis and shoot the damn TV. She's as annoying as hell and did something I didn't think was possible. She made me long for Joan and Melissa Rivers.
I hear the Rivers' are still doing their thing on the TV Guide network in the states. Maybe if we start our letter writing campaign now we can get StarTV to switch before the 2006 Oscars. Join me in writing them at starprogramming@star-tv.com.
