Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Daigle's Deal (Yes, Mr Daigle is BACK!)
So, what's the deal with "Deal or No Deal." This TV 'phenomenon' has just started airing its second season in the States, and the "Deal or No Deal" format has been made in a multitude of countries around the globe.
Now, being somewhat 'bi-cultural,' the Daiglemeister has seen this show in its U.S. format as well as the U.K. version -- how do they compare? Well, they don't.
The British show has pennies for prizes in contrast to the American millions. Moreover, BABES!!! In typical U.S. style, comedian Howie Mandel commands an army of leggy blondes and buxom brunettes who reveal the cash numbers in front of a wild cheering audience - a far cry from the U.K.s grey-haired Noel Edmonds, unveiling paltry sums to an aging crowd of OAPs.
Come on, Brits. Get with the program. In the words of Tony Montana,
"First you get the money, then you get the power, and then you get the wooommmeeennn."
Take it from Tony - increase the cash prizes and then the beautiful babes will surely follow...

The tail end of Hurricane Frances is lashing at my window panes today... All in all, the weather is getting wintery. And, is it dark in the mornings now, or am I just getting up earlier?
Other news - writing, writing, writing, getting published, getting published, getting published... which is nice.
Went to a beautiful town the other weekend - Merrickville. Makes me think of that Elephant Man... was his name Merrick?
Tuesday, June 01, 2004 Man, I was watching that 'American Idol' finale the other night and all I could think was 'Get a room!' I mean those two have been flirting all season... Teasing each other, calling each other names; why don't they just 'get it on' already?? What? No, I'm not talking about Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul! I'm talking about Simon and that presenter Ryan Seacrest! Why don't they just get it over with...??

Sunday, April 18, 2004 DAWN OF THE DAIGLE As mentioned last blog, Celebritymate interviewee Richard Cheese is making waves once again in the entertainment world... His version of Down with the Sickness is featured in the new Dawn of the Dead movie (it's used in a zombie attack scene in a shopping mall)... So, check out that flick in cinemas everywhere now, and then next week you can pick up Cheese's brand spanking new album, I'd like a virgin!

Tuesday, March 23, 2004 Hey Daigle fans! Lots of news to catch up on... so let the blogging begin:
As many of you 'Googlers' may already be aware, Dennis Daigle is now virtually a household name. Just type his name in 'Google' and see for yourselves. It seems that, while the jacketed-one has been in winter hibernation, he has well and truly gained his celebrity-crown. So far, Dennis Daigle is listed on at least three celebrity search sites and the number is growing... not to mention the diameter of Daigle's bag of emails each day!
a BIG thanks for all the fan mail and requests for autographs... We think you're all insane!
Celebritymate Alumni As always, Dennis and his crew keep a beady eye on the careers of any stars interviewed on the fantastic Celebritymate.co.uk website -- and cheesey lounge singer Richard Cheese continues to make us proud. Latest news is that Mr Cheese's music has been featured in the new zombie movie 'Dawn of the Dead'!!
Congratulations, Dick, and keep up the good cheese!
Plenty more celebrity interviews are on the way in 2004, so watch this space. The list of famous interviewees coming soon include Katrina and the Waves (and to keep those movie connections coming, their hit 'Walking on Sunshine' is currently featured on Ben Affleck's new film's trailer, 'Jersey Girl')
That's all for now, Daiglerinos... But never fear, more is on the way and remember - just because Dennis has the jacket doesn't mean you can't be like the man. Adios!

Thursday, January 08, 2004 Happy New Year! What's New?
Hello folks, hope all is well. If you're feeling under the weather, or have the 2004 New Year blues check out the Get Well Soon greeting on the weblink below - written by yours truly! :-)
Just follow the url and click "Get Well Soon" to hear the special audio greeting...
Thursday, October 23, 2003 Spooky seasons greetings!
After a brief hiatus, Dennis Daigle returns to wish a happy Halloween to all! The prolific writer/slacker is back following a well-earned break... and can't believe that summer is over, autumn is here, and winter is right around the corner!
Before Christmas takes over completely, we enter the season of pumpkins and spooks -- and snow! So far, so good. No white stuff in Canadaland yet... but it can only be a matter of time! It's very cold here....
Also, a few weeks ago, DD celebrated his third Thanksgiving ever -- pumpkin pie, turkey and lots of wine. Does it get any better?
But, of course, back to business - Halloween. Well, it is DD's pleasure to reveal possibly the famousest (is that a word?) celebrity to grace the net-pages of Celebritymate...
In honour of the Halloween season, Celebritymate.co.uk presents an exclusive interview with Scream Queen Linnea Quigley! The star of almost 100 horror movies - including the classics Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5, Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers-- find out why Linnea is the numero uno name in gory entertainment, a blood-soaked screaming legend who has died countless times on camera, and a beloved idol of zombie-enthusiasts across the world.
Linnea talks to Celebritymate's Toby Osborne about eating Saddam Hussein, working with Texas Chainsaw Massacre star Gunnar Hansen, and being kind to animals.
Enjoy! and watch this space for all your latest Daigle news...

Who turned out the lights?!?
Dennis was in the dark with most of North America's east coast thanks to the 'Great Blackout of 2003' -- but, I ask you, what was so 'great' about it?! My refrigerated food went bad, and there wasn't any electricity. Although... we did get time off work...
The Canadian Gov are now asking that we conserve energy to avoid future blackouts. But, wait - wouldn't that mean more time off work? Hmmmm, I have to go... Perhaps if I turn on the blender, microwave, TV, radio and all the lights; I can stay home for a little while longer... :)
Ola Daiglerinos... this is your master, Dennis. We are only days away from BRISTOL: THE RETURN. Yes, the Daigles are descending on Bristol in less than a week... and hopefully it will be cooler than Ottawa!
Canada = a beast. Where else can you find a 60C temperature swing?! -30C all winter, and now +30C! Definitely not jacket-weather... and everyone knows that Dennis is only happy if he's wearing his leather jacket... and yes, I do talk about myself in the same style as the Incredible Hulk refers to himself (ie: 'Hulk green... Hulk smash tank...'). So sue me (and that isn't an open invitation if Stan Lee is reading this!).
So, what else can I bring you guys up to speed on...? Well, DennisDaigle.com is looking pretty fly... there's of course a mysterious 'stag night' photo on the home page... it looks like the Shakespeare Inn in Bristol, but... is that really Dennis?!?! Hear the whole truth about that stag night soon...
Sister-site Celebritymate.co.uk is also looking good. This month featured a double-whammy of a CD review of Richard Cheese's latest musical offering - the stunning TUXICITY - keep up the good cheese, Dick! We love your style! As well as an interview with up-and-comers Suffrajett!
And there's more celebrity interviews in the pipeline, including the long-sought-after Linnea Quigley interview (star of Return of the Living Dead!). Keep 'em peeled!
Wednesday, May 14, 2003 Looking for Jayson Blair...
Blair, the former-reporter who is in the dog house after revelations he fraudulently concocted most of his news stories during his tenure at the NY Times, is a wanted man. Emails to his old college in-box bounce back, and calls to the J. Blairs in New York are answered by irate J. Blairs. The only Jayson Blair in Brooklyn claims nobody of that name lives there. Where is Jayson? He deserves a pat on the back, not to be ostracized.
So, he cut a few corners here and there (he filed stories from far away places without even leaving the Big Apple) and told a few whoppers (fabricating entire quotes and 'facts'), but he also managed to pull the wool over the eyes of dozens of veteran journalists. Hoo-hah! Isn't that what the Daiglemeister does on a daily basis? If only I achieved such notoriety for my bad deeds!?
Still, poor old Blair has had the mother of all blackballings (excuse the pun, the Times has promised this is not a 'race thing,' just because our friend Jayson is black) - he'll never work in Journalism again... unless... DENNIS DAIGLE OFFERS JAYSON BLAIR A JOB. Yes, if J.B. is reading this - here is a job offer. Of course, there's no pay, however, it's better than nothing, right?
I originally went looking for Jayson to scoop an interview, if he happens to be reading this (email: dennis@dennisdaigle.com) I'd still like that interview... although it is more likely he is busy applying for a burger-flipper job at Maccy D's -- if they'll have him. I mean, who knows if he'll start fraudulently flipping those burgers?! Jayson is blacklisted (another pun) for life!
I hope the dude finds some cash-cow out of all of this... a movie-of-the-week, a book deal... Whatever.
Well, I'm going back to my hunt for Jayson Blair... a writer with such creativity doesn't belong in a stuffy newsroom anyway, right Jayson? :)
