My 2010 resolution for this blog: I have decided that every Wednesday, I am going to blog about the three things in entertainment I’m most excited about that week. It could be anything, and I mean anything: viral video, TV show, vinyl album, celebrity, you name it. If pop culture consisted of ice cream flavors, here’s what I’d be ordering this week:

Literary Flavor: Open by Andre Agassi

I am a huge tennis fan – have been since a child. While other families spent their summer months following baseball, mine followed the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Long before I formed my own attachment to Rafael Nadal, I followed in my brother’s footsteps and rooted for Andre Agassi. I remember walking into my brother’s room and looking at his Agassi poster. How strange to think that someone could play tennis with a giant mullet and shorts that looked as though they were denim.

Years later, I was one of the many tennis fans who found themselves choked up when Andre played his final match at the US Open. It was the end of an era. Luckily, Andre has fished through his astute memory to share all the feelings of that match and his lonely childhood on the court in Open, a memoir that other celebrities and athletes should aspire to equal. The title is extremely apt, as the tennis great doesn’t hold anything back. When he talks about a match, you feel as though you are simultaneously watching and playing alongside Agassi. You feel his pain and loneliness as he describes his childhood with an unrelenting father who’s living the American dream through his son’s startling tennis abilities. You laugh at the idea that a ten year old Andre hustled football great Jim Brown for $500 after he beat him, but only you after you dear for his safety from a father that could easily be unhinged with a loss.

Whether you’re a tennis fan or just someone looking for an inspiring story, Open certainly won’t disappoint.

Scandalous Flavor: Warren Beatty’s sex life

I audibly gasped when I saw the headline on People.com: “Book: Warren Beatty Slept with Nearly 13,000 Women.” Upon further reading, I discovered that the author of the actor’s upcoming biography made a rough estimation that Beatty bedded 12,775 women in his life. I don’t really know how someone could calculate this, so God only knows how much truth there is in this. But just from the headline alone, here are the thoughts that were going through my head:

That can’t be possible.

If it is possible shouldn’t he be labeled a sex addict?

But it can’t even be possible.

Did Annette Benning know about this before she married him?

How often would you have to have sex in order for this to be possible?

I’ll never know 13,000 people in my entire life, let alone get 13,000 members of the opposite sex to sleep with me.

If this is true, there’s no way Warren Beatty’s sexual organs still works.

Wow, Tiger Woods must be feeling a lot better about himself right now.

Viral Flavor: Glee Flash Mob

I’ve already extolled my love for Glee, so without further ado, here is further justification for my love: a Fox publicity stunt performed in a Rome train station to the music of everyone’s favorite music dramedy.
