Why did Lance Armstrong wait til now to do an interview about his doping? And why did he go to Oprah to do the interview? Why did it take a school shooting of 20 children for The Congress to try and rally a bill of gun control? Whyare the American Idol editors trying to create the love-hate riff between Mariah Carey amd Nikki Minaj? And why does it seem all staged? And why does Keith Urban seem a bit lost in the headlights as a judge? Why was actor Tommy Lee Jones mean mugging at Kristiin Wiig and Will Ferrell while they ere doing a comedy skit while presenting at The Golden Globes? And why was Taylor Swift mean mugging Adele when she accepted her award for Best Song at The Golden Globes?
