Dish-Houston

DISH is so excited that another Texan is hitting the American Idol stage. Here's to hoping she's good enough to put through! No Texans made it through the year DISH produced the show, but Texas' own Kelly Clarkson is breaking records left and right and she got her start on Idol so here's to hoping!!!

Kendall Beard is from Austin and is set to perform tonight on American Idol.

She also is trained in theatrical dance, has been writing songs since age 14, has the sweetest personality you will ever meet and to top off all of that she is a graduate of the University of Texas in Austin (i.e.: everyone has a flaw).

Watch tonight! She auditioned in Puerto while on vacation with her Dad. YIPPEEE TEXAS!

Houstonian Patrick Swayze's mother, Patsy, is asking people to continue praying for her son. Swizzle-Hips is struggling with stage IV pancreatic cancer and has been for the better part of a year.

It seems Houston's own Dirty Dancer, Swayze may have hit a wall! He is always so determined to stay optimistic and confident, it pains us to hear this news.

Today The Enquirer(If you can believe them) reported that Swayze has ceased treatment because there is nothing more that can be done.

This news comes after a frightening hospitalization earlier this month for pneumonia.

A source said, "His confidence had always been contagious for Lisa — but the situation is really staring them in the face now."

DISH and DISH readers are praying for you Patrick! You can beat this!!! We love you!!!!

Is why DISH will talk about it....honestly we don't know many well educated big brains that love and adore wrestling...but here goes anyway.

Mickey Rourke is not the brightest bulb in the box. As we told you earlier, actor mentioned that he had agreed to participate in WrestleMania's big 25th anniversary this April in Houston. Rourke said the guys from WWE called and asked him to do it and he accepted (DISH is confused on this one, the movie is already out so there is no promoting that so is he thinking that the wrestling watching sect is going to make his star rise again??). Rourke also said Chris Jericho should "get in shape cause Mickey was gonna come after your ass." (Classy)

The saga continued Tuesday evening, Rourke and Jericho spoke via satellite on Larry King Live and hyped up the fight.

But WAIT...now there is drama...duh...now, it seems the big badass is nothing more than a washed up actor!

A rep for Rourke said that in fact the actor will NOT be fighting against Jericho this April in Houston.

Apparently, "He is focusing entirely on his acting career," says his publicist.

SO...we are assuming they are doing this to see how much of an up roar his pulling out causes in the wrestling watching community?? geez people...get real. Rockets Basketball, Houston Astros...now that's a sport!!

Head over to the Health Museum at 1515 Herman Drive and behold...The latest and greatest in Surgical Techniques! Yes, Houston is known for their boobs, lips, lifts and lipo, but we do other things here too! There will be drinks and snacks (not that anyone will be caught dead eating!!) but it's between 6-8 so look fast!DISH will be there!

Ok, enough jokes, it's actually a pretty cool event! You can be the surgeon as you take an up-close look at the latest surgical techniques at the exclusive preview of this limited-engagement exhibit at the Health Museum. This is a FUN (yes, FUN!), interactive exhibit that takes learning to a whole new level for all ages.

Also happening this evening before you hit up the Museum, make sure you stock up on your gift closet from Sloan/Hall! They are having one of their rare sales to make room for new merch and it's all practically a steal!!

Blessings and Love DISHIES!!!

For those of you that a big wresteling fans....yes we said WRESTELING! This could be your lucky day!!! Life seems to be imitating art! The Wrestler star, Mickey Rourke, has agreed to take part in WrestleMania's big 25th anniversary this April here in Houston!

"The boys from the WWE called me and asked me to do it," said the Actor from the SAG Awards red carpet. "I said, 'I want to.' I'm talking with Rowdy Roddy Piper about it… Chris Jericho, you better get in shape. Because I'm coming after your ass."

Oh classy, yippe, joy and vomit.
