Falling Slowly Lyrics
Oscar winning movie "Once", the song "Falling Slowly" - Written and performed by Glen Hansard on American Idol April 14th episode.
Falling Slowly was featured in Once movie that was released in 2007. If you haven't seen this movie - you have to because it's very worth !
Here is the Lyrics :
I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along

Kara Young
That infamous Kara Young AJ Benza Howard Stern broadcast is back in the press today. AJ Benza’s Donald Trump Kara Young on air fight was explained by Benza back in 2001.
Kara Young was the stunning Revlon Model who went from dating Benza, to Trump, to marrying neither.
After the Stern interview, Benza opened up to MediaWeek at LALATE’s favorite Nate N Al’s deli here in Los Angeles about what happened.
“I got very Brooklyn on him, and I hadn’t talked to Kara since then. I cried, she cried.”
Trump reportedly said during the broadcast:
“She told me you were losing your hair, A.J., and you’ve done the transplant.”
Benza explained how he was left after his breakup with Young:
“Long story short, I loved the girl very much, and I thought she’d be my wife. She did date him for a while, but I’m willing to move past that. It looks stupid when you get in a fight over a girl, especially when neither one of you are any longer with the girl.”

Difference Between Peanut Butter and Jam
Actually, before we get to that joke’s punchline, I wanted to mention that this episode goes down as both the worst and the best examples of hiding pregnancies on a TV show ever. The worst because Robin clearly looked very pregnant throughout the episode, with no real humor thrown in to make it laughable (like Lily overeating, for example). The best because of the peanut butter/jam joke being so vile that it caused Lily to conveniently disappear for four weeks.
As to the punchline to the aforementioned joke? Wait for it …
… you can’t peanut butter your dick up someone’s ass.
As for the rest of the episode, I related to the fantasy sports thing a bit. I did a bit of fantasy football in my day, but luckily for the people I was up against, there wasn’t thousands of dollars at stake. The office I work at now isn’t really big enough to have “that guy,” really. In past jobs I can think of a few “that guys” who really would rather they weren’t known as “that guy,” like “smelly guy” and “guy who doesn’t wash his hands after going to the bathroom guy.”
Something that’s worth talking about in another post would be how Ted’s situation parallels with Michael Scott of The Office this season, both of them going the route of starting their own businesses in the wake of being laid off or quitting. It was only a matter of time before current shows would start longer themes around being without a job — even Marshall and Barney were using their “that guy” scheme to help secure Marshall’s position at GNR.
It looks like they’re gearing up for Barney and Robin to finally hook up come the end of this season, with only Ted not knowing of his secret (well, besides Robin, that is). And I agree with Marshall and Lily: they’re kinda perfect for each other.

Ivanka Trump Engaged
The Donald fires Brian McKnight for episode 7 task and brings back Piers Morgan to review the final eight for next week. Here’s how it happened. The teams were charged with making an in-store display for LifeLock, a company which thwarts identity theft. But since it is a service and not a product – the retail display had to be clever and creative. Each team would be judged on brand messaging, originality and overall design and the winner would be decided by LifeLock CEO, Todd Davis. The winning project manager would receive $20,000 for their favorite charity.
Brian McKnight was project manager of a team that had trouble pulling it together but their presentation by the R&B star was a success and they smartly included the CEO himself as the oversized display. But he is already in company promotions. There was nothing new in the display that LifeLock hadn’t already done. They did have a customer CD for them to take home and activate – but the display wasn’t creative or exciting.
Natalie Gulbis was the other project manager and was able to get Clint Black and Joan Rivers working together – which was quite remarkable after last week. And, ironically, Clint Black came up with the humor on their display which was an oversized graphic of a safe with each of the celebrity team members pictured with a quote relevant to their professions – “They might steal my jokes but they will never steal my identity” was assigned to Joan Rivers and so on. They had a welcome kit but didn’t have a CD which would allow customers to bring the activation home with them – but they used celebrity to catch the customers eye and humor to keep them engaged. They won.
In the Board Room – Brian McKnight got called out for his laid back attitude and not paying attention to the deadlines. He told Trump he thinks the team lost because they didn’t have a good idea. He brought former Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick and Melissa Rivers back to the Board Room while Joan Rivers, who is now on the other team, went crazy in her suite believing Melissa was being used as a scapegoat. Moreover, Annie Duke had privately told Joan Rivers she was going to bring Brande down but she didn’t– and instead was silent. This was a hint of what we should watch for next week.
PR Lesson Learned
Brian McKnight was laid back and did not lead with a sense of urgency. He admitted he didn’t care anymore and his lack of interest and desire had an impact on their loss --- because he wasn’t motivated to come up with a better idea. If you can’t give 100% to the customer – don’t bother at all because less than all you’ve got will never be enough.
Piers Morgan returns
Without any break for the completely exhausted final eight -- task two was announced and started. Each team was told to produce an Ivanka Trump Jewelry fashion show and auction fundraiser. Annie Duke and Joan Rivers were rival project managers. The winning team will be the one who raises the highest amount at the auction – which means the celebs have to call their rich pals and generate interest in bidding. The Donald brought in Piers Morgan to watch both teams but the episode concluded before the task was complete. Stay tuned…
