You may have noticed some of the article links I've posted on TV Watch Online have been preceded by a mention of BuddyTV. I want to say that I am now a freelance editor and writer for BuddyTV.com.
According to BuddyTV, "BuddyTV is every TV watcher's friend. With the website, users can read news about their favorite shows and actors and interact with other fans in our rabid community. Users can also play addictive games on the sites such as Trivia, Personality Quizzes, and Celeb Rater."
I am excited to have joined their team as a freelancer. Any articles that I write for them will be linked to on TV Watch Online. I already have six articles posted online for them (one is a slideshow).
To make it easier to find all of my articles, you can click HERE my articles page with a full list of and links to everything I write for them.

Combined American Idol & X Factor News Page
You may have noticed that whenever any major X Factor news articles come in, I have put them on the American Idol News page. And starting today, I have decided to make it official, and rename that page 'American Idol & X Factor News.' (It still retains the same URL). On that page, you can find all the latest news on both American Idol and The X Factor. I am doing this because I have not yet decided if I will give X Factor its own page to chronicle the competition over the course of each season (but I very well may). I also did this because it makes it easier for you all to clearly see that that page covers news on two shows, and not just on Idol.

OMGWire.com Writer
I mentioned on Twitter earlier today that I would have announcement regarding my blogging. As of today, I am now a writer for OMGWire.com. If you aren't familiar with that website, they cover the latest TV, movie, entertainment and pop culture news.
For those of you who read my posts here on the T.W.O. BLOG, you know that the majority of what I blog about is my commentary on American Idol and America's Got Talent. I will still be blogging about AGT, but this season I will be doing so from OMGWire. I am excited to be a part of this new team, and look forward to what's to come. This doesn't mean that the T.W.O. BLOG will cease to exist. I will still be blogging here, but I will be splitting duties between the two. And just to let you know, for every article I write for OMGWire, I will link to it on TV Watch Online and on Twitter, so you will never be far from my online writing.
Below is an excerpt from my debut article at OMGWire and a link to read in its entirety:
A year later, and we're back for season 6 of 'America's Got Talent,' with the return of host Nick Cannon and judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel.
At the start of the premiere, Howie says that he's going to torture Piers all season long, to which Mr. Morgan responds, "Bring it on, baldy." If Howie sticks by his word, I can't wait to see the sparring between them (and there was literal sparring in this episode).
Frank Olivier - 50-year-old who juggled fire while in a unicycle
He has Howie come up on stage to help him out. Frank tries to keep balanced on the unicycle and holds on to Howie's head. Howie freaks out (as we all know, he's a germaphobe). Piers was just having a ball watching Howie being tortured. Howie said that he was going to torture Piers, but Piers didn't even need to do anything to seek revenge. Piers and Sharon vote yes to send him through to Vegas, but Howie refuses to even talk, let alone vote. You can see how pissed off he is. Since Piers loved seeing Howie freak out, that's obviously the only reason he voted yes. Why would you send this guy through? The act wasn't all that cohesive, and you can't really build a full show with a juggler. He should have been send home.

And finally, here is a link to my Author Archive page at OMGWire, where you will can easily access all of my articles for them.

New T.W.O. Page Devoted to The Hunger Games!
This week, the release date was announced for the upcoming film adaptation of the first book in the hugely popular young-adult series, The Hunger Games: March 23, 2012! That's just over a year from now; how exciting is that! If you have listened to the T.W.O. Show podcast, you may know that I gave a spoiler-free review of the final book, Mockingjay, back in September (Episode 18) and mentioned that I am a huge fan of this series. After reading the first book, I felt like I was reading the best book I've read since Harry Potter.
With each big news item that has come out regarding the movie version (script, director, etc), I have become more and more excited to see this on the big screen, because I believe that this story was made to be seen on the big screen. And now what may be the biggest news item to date: the release date!
I had a poll on the main page of T.W.O. asking visitors if they thought I should have a page devoted to The Hunger Games; nobody voted against the idea. I got to a point where it wasn't a matter of if, but a matter of when. And when the release date was announced, I thought this would be the perfect time to unveil it, because now, from this point on, each announcement will be upping the anticipation level even more, mainly with the casting (which we should hopefully hear about pretty soon).
Yesterday, I debuted T.W.O.'s brand-new page devoted to The Hunger Games. It is set up exactly like the other movie franchise pages (Harry Potter, Narnia, Twilight, Hobbit): logo, news article links, about the movie, poll, product links, and cover/poster images.
And The Hunger Games also now has its own page in the T.W.O. STORE.
Every time I add a new movie franchise, it may seem to you that I just put the new one below the one that came before that on the navigation bar, but there's a reasoning behind it. It all has to do with when the first movie in the franchise premiered. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2001, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2005, Twilight in 2008. Since The Hunger Games will be coming out in early 2012, and The Hobbit will not arrive until December of that year, that is the reason why HG is above Hobbit on the navigation bar (the same order applies in the STORE).
Any related news articles before yesterday that had previously appeared in the TV/Movie/Entertainment News section on the home page has been copied over to the new film page, for convenience.
I am really looking forward to seeing the progression of filming with this movie, seeing any and all trailers, the film itself, and hopefully (fingers crossed!) two more movies as well.

Welcome to the New T.W.O. BLOG!
Welcome to the new TV Watch Online BLOG! As I mentioned in Episode 26 of the TV Watch Online Show podcast, I would start out the new year by combining the two blogs (T.W.O. BLOG and Interviews Blog) into one main blog containing announcements, news, American Idol and America's Got Talent commentaries, and interviews. Since the Interviews Blog was not updated as often, there was no point in keeping it as its own blog. And I decided to host the main blog here on Blogger because I favor the format and tools available here over the Tripod one.
And also to celebrate the start of 2011, here are changes I have made to the main T.W.O. site:
- With how few Harry Potter book-related news articles there are nowadays, I have decided to combine the two Potter pages into one main HP page, set up in the same fashion as The Twilight Saga page (combining book and movie news). Link: Harry Potter
- The Heroes and Ugly Betty pages are no longer available to view, since those shows are not on the air anymore and there is no more news coming in regarding those shows; you can still view their respective Article Archives pages. (The Lost page may still be around for another month or so until we find out the results of any awards the show is nominated for).
- All the 'Remembering...' pages have been combined into one 'In Memoriam' page, remembering TV shows that have gone off the air; visit that page to find out how you can leave your comments on Kyle XY, Heroes, Ugly Betty, and Lost. Link: In Memoriam
- The order of TV shows on the navigation bar has been updated to reflect the schedule for midseason (The Apprentice has been moved near the top for its return to Sunday nights; American Idol moved down one spot for its move to Wednesdays/Thursdays).
- Finally, the 'About the Movie' section at the bottom of The Twilight Saga page has been updated for Breaking Dawn.
And if you haven't listened to my interview with The Apprentice contestant Mahsa, click HERE and download Episode 26 of the T.W.O. Show podcast for free.
Happy New Year to everyone!
