Jeremy Darling Dons the Scarf of Chuck Bass!


Gossip Girl famous bad boy Chuck Bass (acted by British actor Ed Westwick) has have his fair share of imitators, but none as apparent as the character of Jeremy Darling (acted by Seth Gabel) in Dirty Sexy Money!
.
This might be a lil backdated but since the second season of Dirty Sexy Money is not yet aired in Singapore nor its cable, this probably would come as news to the Gossip Girl local fans. Upon watching online the Season 2 episode 5 of the Dirty Sexy Money, The Keongomaniac recoils to his horror as he saw Jeremy Darling donning what seem as a similar scarf famously worn by Chuck Bass from the Gossip Girl fame during a gallery scene with Lisa George (image above). After a net search, it clearly shows that there was a fair amount of reaction from the American audience. Netizens are generally divided, but with one camp saying Jeremy can never live up to Chuck's popularity (or notoriety, well SPOILER ALERT despite sleeping with Lisa, Nick George's wife, on a couple of occasion in DSM season 2).
.
We could see it positively, even though most will say that THE scarf belongs to Chuck Bass only. Both TV series deals with the same thematic approach (discussed here in blog entry A Bane To Be Rich?), though regionally Gossip Girl has a larger cult following. I guess allowing Jeremy Darling to appear with Chuck Bass's scarf shows that TV dramas have finally decided to be less pretentious when it comes to characters of similar traits, and indeed embraces them. Having them 'share' the signature scarf seals this deal. But it wouldn't be a signature anymore if two uses them right?
.
As Chuck would say, "Do not mock the scarf". But if he is ever to meet Jeremy, you and I know he would almost definitely declare...
.
"I'm Chuck Bass"
.
XOXO!

Adam Lambert is no Jonas, only better, much better!


I hope a lot of you out there are following American Idol like I do, this Season 8 is arguably the best one so far, with all its new changes to make it stay interesting for viewers. Like what new Idol judge Kare DioGuardi would have exclaimed, "I feel good!" as she bangs the table with immense satisfaction.
.
Today The Keongomaniac zooms in on one of the most outrageous comparisons in the history of comparisons. Some netizens have likened Top 13 finalist Adam Lambert to Joe Jonas (ulgh), the second brother of the kiddish Jonas Brothers! On such an incredulous comparison, The Keongomaniac can only say, Adam Lambert, 27, is about to be a greater star than all the Jonases combined, with such great vocals and looks, especially after yesterday's Michael Jackson's Black Or White performance. Can Lovebug, or When You Look Me In The Eyes even come close, not by one bit!
.
Better voice, better looks Adam Lambert wins hands down. Comparing him to Joe Jonas, 19, is an utter insult! The Keongomaniac predicts either him or Danny Gokey to be the next American Idol. Or Anoop Desai too if he is lucky enough to get through.
.
.
Watch his Black Or White performance again! And Americans out there, vote for him please.
