There's a new bachelor-like show on Monday nights called Age Of Love. The gimmick? Half the women vying for the affections of the 30yr old bachelor are in their 40's, and half are in their 20's. Which will he choose?

Thus far (two episodes) the production alone has been pretty lopsided, going well out of the way to make the 40yr olds look sad and pitiful (talking mostly about heartbreak and how they hope it is not too late for them), but making the 20yr olds seem entirely shallow and stupid ("I'm hot, deal with it"). As a 38yr old it's actually pretty painful to even listen to the 20somethings talk. But then again, I can't even imagine the amount of plastic surgery that went into the 48yr old (who I believe was the one that claimed "good genetics").

The producers will probably ruin the concept by making him eliminate one woman from each group every time, in order to keep it even. Once he has entirely eliminated one group, after all, the "experiment" is proven. So they have to pretend like he likes one 20yr old and one 40yr old equally and then has to make up his mind.

Eh. It's still better than Ex Wives Club. :)!

The latest I've found:

A law enforcement official close to the investigation says pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room.

I don't know what to say.

TV Squad has the info, straight from Zach Braff's mouth:

• Just because he's dating doesn't make him the jerk the gossip rags are making him out to be.
• Yes, he is the new voice of Wendy's. Man, I thought that was him, but I couldn't believe it. What an odd gig.
• Scrubs starts filming its final 18 episodes in August. So I guess that's good news that it's definitely coming back and sad news that it's definitely the last round.

A number of news sources have the story now that the sheriff has all but confirmed that Chris Benoit killed his wife and child sometime during the weekend, and then killed himself on Monday. WWE itself also claims to have evidence that they have been asked to keep silent about, for now. While awaiting the crime lab results, the sheriff did say that the details as they come out will be "a little bizarre."

Knowing absolutely nothing about Benoit's personal and family life, it is easy to throw out guesses about what could have happened. Did Nancy want to divorce him and take away his son? I am honestly hoping that it's more like "Something happened that caused Nancy to try to kill herself and their son, Chris was home trying to save them, and when he could not do so, he also committed suicide." But nobody is reporting a triple suicide, they're all very plainly saying that the evidence is for murder. And they've already said that there's no shotgun or stabbing wounds, which rules out the sort of crime of passion argument where someone's waving a gun and the next thing you know people are dead. If reports are true that Benoit had told people his wife and child were "throwing up blood", then that certainly lends credit to the belief that they were poisoned. (It sounds very twisted to say, but I suppose it is possible that he poisoned them, and then missed his flight while waiting for them to die. Yikes.)

I think I'm going to stop guessing and see what the news reports have to say. Oh, one last thing. My local news sucks. While running the story this morning they said, "Despite the murder, WWE ran a three hour tribute to Benoit last night." Ummm...morons...yesterday nobody knew the details, they just knew that their coworker was dead. You can't exactly fault them for that. Idiots.
