(I provide click-thru links here in gray, so check 'em out).... I really love Josh Groban. His "Awake" and especially "Closer" albums are wonderful. His recent "Illuminations," not so much... as seen in lackluster sales and no AC radio hits. But he's fun to follow on Twitter and hysterical on Kimmel and, apparently, "Crazy Stupid Love," which I plan on seeing.... I give "Captain America" a "B." It was fun and leads to "The Avengers" pretty well. I think for mindless popcorn films this summer I've liked "Thor," and "X-Men Beginnings," but "Harry Potter 8" and "Super 8" are the best summer fare.... I haven't shaved in over a week. I'm giving you Grizzly Adams. But I'll take blade to face today with my Art of Shaving Shave Oil, Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor and Nivea for Men After Shave.... Sometimes I hate giving away my "finds," especially to my three readers here, but the daily Happy Hour 4-8p at St. Felix in WeHo is IT. Tasty, 1/2 priced drinx, bar menu and outside seating (which should switch to only high-top tables in my opinion.).... This posting was late today due to my TimeWarner internet being down. No other way to put it than I simply hate them and pray daily for AT&T or Verizon cable to become available in my hood.... Two last serious notes: the horrific shooting in Norway is too much for me to even grasp - and Amy Winehouse, simply, RIP and thanks for the music.

SUMMER TV I WATCH: Entourage, True Blood, Weeds, HGTV Design Star, Property Brothers, Flipping Out, Falling Skies, the A-List, Big Bro, Famous Food, Platinum Hit, any and all Housewives. On that note, NY's Ramona at 56 having a pregnancy scare was the best comedy all year. The manipulation that either these women or their producers conjure up for more screen time is insane. Ramona's "story" was on the back burner for weeks following their return from Morocco and so, BAM, fake pregnancy! C'mon!?... I've been obsessed with the scent of Gain for years. To my delight, those Gain folks got bright and introduced fabric sheets, dish liquid and even Febreze spray & plug-ins. My wish: Gain Body Wash and men's cologne.... Where's Gene Wilder? He turned in such genius performances, as I witnessed in catching "Willy Wonka" the other night. Certainly he should be popping-up on TV more often.... Am I horrible because I only enjoy the first 4 weeks of Celebrity Rehab (Vh1) when they are detoxing and insane? After that, they are all feel-good and recovering. Yawn.... Didja know Idol's Pia Toscano released her single last week? Didn't think so.... Last September, Maroon 5 released the best pop album of the year, Hands All Over. It now has a Deluxe Edition. Get it!.... Seeing Captain America later today.... That's all for Saturday! I'm Blog-Free on Sundays, so take that time to be Just like Jerry!
