DC's new weekly series Countdown premieres tomorrow. You can check out an 11 page preview on myspace. The preview features Darkseid, Mary Marvel waking up from her coma and Duela Dent facing off against the Red Hood. I'm not sure how this Duela lines up with her recent appearances in Teen Titans. It's interesting that Duela tells Jason: "I may be from a neighboring earth, but I have to maintain my bad girl cred..." What earth is Duela from? I'm sensing more Earth-2 hijinks.

I didn't watch all of this season of Amazing Race: All-Stars but I liked what I saw. I think combative cousins Charla & Mirna need their own reality show. I also think winner Eric needs to ditch his "girlfriend" Danielle and get naked for us boys.

When I was driving home from work last night I was thinking a lot about Melinda Doolittle. She's the only reason I've watched Idol this season. Well not really watched, but fast forward through on Tivo. I think Melinda is the best singer in the competition, but I'm not really sure what her chances of winning are. Honestly looking back I haven't been excited by any of her performances for awhile. That's not to say they aren't sung great, but I just haven't been hooked by anything besides my dislike of the other contestants. I do have to say that her performance of "Since You Been Gone" during week one is my favorite of anyone this season and I love her version of "Home" too.
