Diary of an Evil Genius

YOU GUYS. I cannot believe CBC cut this out of their broadcast of the Diamond Jubilee Concert. If I hadn't seen his name listed among the performers at the end, I would never have known this happened! And it is the best thing ever!! I feel as though I hadn't lived until I saw this performance.

Alfie Boe, ladies and gentlemen... the greatest tenor in the known universe, and the only person who could switch from a serious performance of O Sole Mio to a fun performance of Elvis' It's Now or Never in 0.5 seconds and NOT LOOK CORNY.



*so much mad crazy love for Alfie, you have no idea*

Duuuuudes... JASON DOHRING WAS IN THE PILOT EPISODE!!!! Barely 14 years old!! And playing a character named Jared, hahaha. My head is 'sploding all over the place here. ;)

I also forgot to mention that Ron Glass (Book from Firefly) was a main character in this show, too. Can you see why I was so sad it was cancelled?? :P

And while I'm posting about it again, here - have Jensen singing Italian opera. No, SERIOUSLY. It's at the very end of that clip.

Soooo, apparently AJ Cook has been fired from Criminal Minds (budget cuts or something), and Paget Brewster is looking at only a few eps next season (ditto), and the CM cast is collectively in an uproar. These guys are a FAMILY, you know? There's no way the network should be messing with that!

Joe Mantegna has been pimping out a petition on his Twitter to get them reinstated before the season begins, so I figured I'd post it in case any of the CM fans on my f-list haven't seen it yet.

You can sign the petition here. 13,336 signatures so far, but keep 'em coming! I can't lose my JJ!!

(Disclaimer: I do NOT agree with the feminist bent to this petition, but hey, anything that gets the job done. I would be furious if ANY of the actors had been fired for budgetary reasons, not just the girls. And they did say JJ would be replaced with another female character.)
