Josh Groban...hits a sour note; X-mas "Noel", bah humbug!

According to the Los Angeles Times this morning, when Josh Groban was asked about - "Noel" - and the stupendous success of the album, he remarked in a tired old fashion, "I've been singing Carols since June, and I just want to move on."

This, in spite of the fact the Christmas holiday doesn't go into full swing, until this weekend.

Talk about ungrateful!

Which begs the question, did Groban press the CD for music lovers from the heart, or with the specific aim of rustling up a few fast bucks?

If he's on his last legs and can't make it into the home stretch, he shouldn't take it out on the rest of us, in the holiday spirit.

His response kinda reminds me of the tale of the horse who's purchased for stud services, but doesn't deliver, '...cause he's got a headache!"

Maybe in the future, Joe Public won't be so supportive.

After all, no one likes a party pooper, 'specially not at X-mas!

Oprah Winfrey...boosts Obama to No. 1!

This past week, Oprah Winfrey trotted Barack Obama around the country, like a dog on a leash; subsequently, the exposure boosted the Presidential candidate’s record to No. 1 on the charts!

Oh, wait a sec.

I guess that was Josh Groban...yeah, his recent appearance on Oprah, skyrocketted "Noel" to the top of the pop charts for 3 straight weeks.

Oprah, it's difficult to keep your men straight!

Tom Cruise, then Steadman, a crooner...now a politician inclined to smoke a doobie now and then.

Even so, I guess it doesn't hurt to be listed as one of your favorite "things".

Well now, it's a snap to sell a book or a record to the American afternoon talk show public, but how 'bout a Presidential candidate?

One fan of the show noted to the news media in recent days that she wouldn't vote for a candidate on a celebrity person's say-so.

Oh well, Obama, enjoy the ride while it’s free...
