Not your typical real life show
The creator of Big Brother, John de Mol, inspired a gazillion real life TV shows. Some good, some bad, some really bad. But now that same man gives us two new shows…
Big brother mother
Newspaper 'De Telegraaf' has reported latest edition of Big Brother in the Netherlands is set to go further than any reality show has gone before in the search for higher viewing figures. Dutch television station Talpa — owned by Big Brother creator John de Mol — is looking for a pregnant woman who will give birth during the show.

and… The Great Sprm Show
The Hague - New Dutch commercial television channel Talpa is planning to broadcast a show called I want your child and nothing else featuring a single woman who gets to choose a sprm donor to father her child, Dutch media reported on Wednesday.

That new TV channel, Talpa, is real classy huh? To be honest, I would watch if I’d happen to see them on TV. Just to see what kind of people actually entered these shows and by doing that screwing up the life of their unborn – and yet to be conceived - child.
What I really would like is an opportunity to ask the women who entered the “Sprmshow” how on earth will they explain to their kid why his or hers daddy isn’t with them. Or if she will ever show a recording of the show to her child.
For the record, even though the producer of these shows thinks it’s good enough to get a lot of viewers, the Dutch public seems to reject it. It’s almost turning to a political issue here.
So after the great gimme your sprm show and Big ‘Mother’... what is next? Any ideas?
Should I stay or should I go
As a BIG Boom Chicago fan, I’m subscribed to their newsletter. I received a very interesting one today. It just wouldn’t seem right to keep this to myself.
Don’t kill the messenger (that would be me) if the god of all that’s cute and edible Mr. Brad Pitt doesn’t show up. I have other plans tonight (which of course I considered cancelling all LOL) so I won’t be there my self. If you happen to be in Amsterdam it might be worth checking this out.
It’s in the read more. Let me know if you go & how if you got a chance to see the Ocean’s 12 crew.
update (May 15th): Okay Mr. Sweety I'll admit this much to you. For this one time you probably may have been right. They weren't there (as far as I know). However I've heard they will be shooting some scenes today & tomorrow in The Hague. At the City Hall. Hmmm.

Onderwerp: [BOOM CHICAGO] What Would You Do?
Who do I have more allegiance to, the publicist of a star I don't know or my friends? We sort of have to keep this quiet, but we couldn't not tell.
Now I'm not saying who we're talking about, but everyone knows who's in town shooting a movie. Let's just say there is a reservation for four for tonight's Heineken Late Nite.
Being who they are, they're unpredictable. If I had to guess, I would say they won't show. But if they did come to Boom Chicago and you weren't here, you'd kick yourself.
I'll be there for sure.
All the best,
Andrew

Not Yet a Woman
Apparently La Spears married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander last night in Las Vegas.
But before you make any plans to send wedding gifts, a source close to the pop star insists it was all a joke that went too far, and that Spears is already making plans to annul the marriage.
I hope the groom can see the humor of this joke...
This is how you screw
Can somebody please tell me that there are other countries (then the Netherlands) where there is a TV show called "This is how you screw" :)
As the title reviels it's a sex education show and apparently it's taken off air now. It used to be on tv once a week!
If "this is how you screw" was a tv show aired on a commercial channel it would not have been very shocking. However, it was on a government funded TV channel! We pay tax to see it!!
Sex education is good, but this show was certainly not suitable for everyone. For example they showed how to give a blowjob on a big plastic blow up doll.
Curious?? The episodes are online (WHY on earth am I posting this lol).
Here´s one and here´s an overview!
I'm a bit embarrassed that the times CNN notices our little country, it's always related to either sex, drugs or.. or.. both :)

Once a bachelor
Our Dutch version of the Bachelor wasn't really a succes for the bachelor himself. After choosing the woman he liked most, they only went out twice and then broke up. So now he's trying to find the woman of his life through his own site. Girls?
A girl called Petra didn't get through the "pre-rounds" of the Bachelor and is now trying it through US Joe Millionaire :) Little does she know...... lol :)
Entertain me! me! me me me!!!
First I wanted to keep this news allll to myself :) Realising that it has been on like a zillion newssites already, I'll share: Robbie Williams is giving fans the chance to attend the West End première of his new concert film on 18 November.
Details on how to enter are on his website. Good luck every one!
I´ll be missing you
I´m wondering how many times a day he did have sex in order to having to give it up TOTALLY now. P. Diddy is giving up sex to train for the marathon..
No hair-pulling ladies!!
Last night Dutch television showed the first episode of (Dutch) The Bachelor. I have to admit it was amusing. I just didn't get the "WHY women enter a show like that" part. I mean those women where angry little bitches to eachother while yearning for this one guy. Who I bet didn't feel bad at all.
That I find amusing but what really disturbed me that when I misspelled "thebachalor.com" in explorer I automatically got redirected to an anti-abortion website with some hideous pictures. You know people, with that you are not changing my mind on the whole abortion thing. You should get sued for showing me that, just minutes after breakfast. UGH!
