9-27 Dish: Drew Carey Shows Owen Wilson Some Tough Love
27 September 07 07:33 AM | Zach | 1 comment(s)

Looking forward to the Fact or Crap round on Friday! Just to let you know, I am: 1) thinking about a "who said what" contest. As in Who said "This is fun" on the Monday Dish post. The answer would be "Zach". The only problem is that it would be really hard to do that if there were no comments to go off of... 2) I may change how the "final round" of Fact or Crap goes. We are still on for the LIVE Fact or Crap in the chat room at 10:00 PM EDT but that may change for next time.

Spector Jury Deadlocks, Judge Declares Mistrial...

Drew Carey Shows Owen Wilson Some Tough Love...
Comedian/actor Drew Carey is showing tough love to Owen Wilson following his alleged suicide attempt last month - because he is convinced the 'Wedding Crashers' star could have avoided the ordeal if he had confided in his friends and family.
Carey, 49, admits he has attempted to take his own life on two previous occasions by overdosing on drugs, and believes it is his own experiences with suicide which enable him to relate to 38-year-old Wilson's troubles.
But he claims the best cure for depression is to talk about it more openly.
He tells Access Hollywood, "It's going to sound cold, but I wasn't reading the paper going 'Oh poor guy.' I was thinking I hope he (Wilson) is learning what he is supposed to be learning from this whole experience and not wasting the opportunity to learn.
 
Kravitz: 'I'll Never Tell If I'm Kidman's Mystery Fiance'...

Weekly Giveaways on The Dish!
24 September 07 04:55 PM | Zach | 6 comment(s)

 So, its time to start bumping things up a bit!

Every week, we will host a week long competition right here on the dish!

Sometimes, it will be daily Fact or Crap questions. Sometimes it will be a word number. Here's how each contest works... I will post 3 Fact or Crap questions each day. The people who correctly guess 12/15 for that week will be eligible for a prize. Those people must show up in the SteepleMedia Chat room on Friday evening to claim their prize. If all of the potentials show up, there will be a Fact or Crap showdown with 10 questions. The person who correctly answers the most will choose a prize. We will get to the prize choosing later...

The Word number competition works like this. I will pick a number, most of the time between 100 and 500. Your job is to comment lots. Now, I dont mean one word individual comments, but long comments work too! After someone comments the word that has the number, they will win a prize! For example: Lets say I choose the number 5 and we get two comments:

        Zach Says:
                This is fun!

        Bechoo Says:
                Yeah it is!

Bechoo said the 5th word, "it" so she would win the prize!

So now, what are your prize options? Well here's how this will work... I have 40 numbers placed on bags here. I'd show you a picture but my camera's broken. Believe me, its cramped in here! There are 15 bags with prizes in them. The ultimate winner of that week will have to pick a number. If a prize is in that bag, the winner will get the prize! If there is no prize in the bag, then they will get 1 Prize Point which can later be turned into prizes! Don't worry about prize points for now. That wont start for a while... You can also see how many prize points in the "News" section on the Dish!

So, I know how eager you are to start! Here's my first question, should we start with the Fact or Crap contest or the Word one?

YOU Decide!

And as that birthday comes around this year, I would like to reflect on my progress over the past year... I started out with a blog, wasnt very successful. Well, I guess I could say that it was more successful back then than it is now. Averaging probably about 75 views a day and maybe 3 comments for the first 2 or so months compare to now's 5 or 6 views a day and maybe 6 or 7 comments a week. What can we do about this?

 ...
 ...

I know! How about we give stuff away!!! Today we play the comment game. I'm looking for a number between 10 and 50... whosever comment is that number, they will receive a ton of behind the scenes stuff about Rascall Flatts OR a Magazine Subscription OR a free bucket of popcorn at any Regal Cinamas. Confused? Lets say the number I chose was 15 and you posted your comment at 15... You will win the prize. And, you can comment more than once!

So, what should you comment about? First off, I would LOVE to know who all my loyal readers are! 2nd, what would you like to see changed or improved on the Dish? 3rd what is your favorite part about the Dish?
