However, i find some Reality Shows which are atrocious with total junk content which not only misguides the youth and children but also drastically affects their  personality development.

One such show is MTV ROADIES. I fail to decipher what qualities they look for in probable ROADIES during auditions. The probables are mostly mediocres from educational streams/other spheres and those not doing well in life (as i observed during some telecasts).

The selection panel comprising of Raghu and company (who appear to represent some dramatics company) try to assess with antics and drama, the right ATTITUDE  in the prospects while abusing them, making obscene gestures, raising voices (at times yelling) and using vulgar language/words. I wonder what attitude means to them. The auditions revolve around  grilling on issues like love, ditching, affairs, dating and hobbies and interests of probables.

Anyone who can resist the onslaught of Mr Raghu and company confidently is debated upon by the panel ,complemented as well  and generally selected. WOW, What a way to select ?…Hmmmmm. What qualities are they actually looking for?

Is all this drama really required? Isn’t there a better way to select deserving probables ( based on a laid out selection criteria). Or is it that only those who can dance, act, wear sparkling clothes without dress sense, talk arrogantly, and agrue without reason and logic to support their wierd hobbies/comments and affairs mentioned in their resumes  can only become the so called ROADIES.

All this affects the psychology of young minds who have developed a craze for this Reality Show over a period of time. The youth (and children ) try to emulate behaviour, imbibe the qualities and character displayed by probables, thus, picking up wrong lessons and ruining their personality.

It’s high time that the format of selection is revised/modified making the whole gamut of selection decent, pleasing and interesting while dramatising (not necessarily vulgar) where  essential, to attract maximum audiences as is happening now ( no drop in TRP ).

Well, Here is one way to streamline this  Reality Show aptly. Let there be a decent, well behaved panel (of ladies and gents) which should ask questions, grill probables while adding a bit of sarcasm to make the auditions more lively.

At the moment, this is a wake up call for the parents. Please educate your children about this show.

A stitch in time saves nine…..well, this still holds good.

There is not much differences between the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The Wii version is naturally, less visually appealing, but it does not lack any features.

A source claims that Jennifer Aniston, 40, dumped John Mayer, 31, because he spent way to much time on Twitter. Yes,you read it right. Not because of cheating or anything, but because of Twitter addiction.

Jennifer & John started dating around April 2008, but have broken up several times. Last month at the Academy Awards they seemed pretty lovey-dovey. Perhaps Aniston was trying to show up Brangelina?

Source said:

“John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back.

“Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates.

“Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?’.”

Te real problem to look here is why does Aniston have so much trouble with her love life? She’s gorgeous, has an incredible body, is gorgeous(heheh), and you have to know she’s ready to settle down. She wants kids! The age difference here might have been an issue, but who knows? Who knows if this Twitter story is even real?

In the video below, John tries to explain or umm…maybe defend to whats hit him because of Tweeter :

On the title track of U2′s latest album, “No Line On The Horizon,” frontman Bono sings “Every night I have the same dream/I’m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme.”

The Irish rockers’ 12th studio album reflects some heavy scheming on the part of the band, and its longtime producers, to mine wider sonic territory that the band has explored since the 1990s.

The result is an album that feels more compelling in sound and less strident in message than U2′s previous two efforts this decade, which offered some bright spots but seemed crafted with a U2-by-the-numbers approach.

The achievement of “No Line” is due to the handiwork of U2′s recording studio midwives: Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite, who have had a hand in shaping nearly every U2 album.

On “No Line …,” Eno and Lanois play a more hands-on role, meriting the duo co-songwriting credits with Bono and the rest of U2 _ guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. _ on all but four of the album’s 11 tracks.

“No Line … ” falls short of the wholesale reinvention that U2 underwent on 1991′s “Achtung Baby,” but in its best moments showcases a refreshing return to musical exploration for a band that released its debut album 29 years ago.

The driving-but-disjointed leadoff single, “Get On Your Boots,” has underwhelmed some U2 followers, but there is reassurance _ the track is not representative of the album.

One standout track is “Magnificent.” It begins with a brooding guitar line then weaves into a dance beat backed over layered keyboards and explodes into shimmering, The Edge-trademark guitar fireworks. Bono raises it up a notch, wailing “Only love/Only love can leave such a mark/But only love/Only love can heal such a scar.”

The track’s anthemic build and release is no less effective than the band’s signature stadium-pleaser “Where The Streets Have No Name.” But one stretch of lyrics where Bono declares he was “born to sing for you/I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up,” will do little to allay critics who view the singer as a self-appointed savior-megalomaniac.

Another gem is “Moment of Surrender,” a midtempo ballad that clocks in at longer than 7 minutes. With a rolling bassline and church organ sound as a backdrop, Bono delivers a soulful, passionate vocal as he sings “We set ourselves on fire/Oh God, do not deny her/It’s not if I believe in love/But if love believes in me.”

Thematically, “No Line …” finds Bono the lyricist exploring familiar U2 fare: love, hope, God and war, but less directly.

On the surreal rocker “Unknown Caller,” which opens with the birdsong heard in the open-air space in Fez, Morocco, where it was recorded, Bono sings of a man lost “between the midnight and the dawning/In a place of no consequence of company,” and then a sing-along chorus implores him to “Escape yourself and gravity … Force quit and move to trash” _ a nod to Mac computer users?

The message is more straightforward on “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight,” which despite its cumbersome title has U2 making their most unabashed pop song yet.

Just when you think you’ve got a handle on “No Line …,” U2 channels its heretofore unseen funky side with “Stand Up Comedy.” The song works overall, but stumbles on some awkward rhyming when Bono sings “Stand up to rock stars/Napoleon is in high heels/Josephine be careful of small men with big ideas.”

More satisfying is the album’s pivot point, the ambient, electro-rocker “Fez-Being Born.”

U2 left the most compelling songs on “No Line … ” on the latter half of the album: The fragile, folk song like “White As Snow,” and the cinematic, spare closer, “Cedars Of Lebanon.” The song features a half-spoken vocal by Bono delivered from the viewpoint of a war correspondent.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Breathe,” melds some machine gun-vocal by Bono and guitar power chords to create one of the most memorable anthems to come out of the U2 factory.
