LIVE STREAM! Catch live streaming video of the 2010 Olympics Closing Ceremony tonight. Tonight’s live stream of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony was suppose to begin at 4:30 pm PST 7:30 PM EST on NBC.

But as of 6 PM PST, it still hasn’t started, instead showing Cross Country skiing. It’s much the complaint readers have had of tv coverage of these Olympic games – the confusion of when events were on tv. In fact, the biggest query online Sunday was asking what time USA v Canada’s gold medal hockey game is on.

After the Closing Ceremony, “enjoy” Madonna’s appearance on NBC’s The Marriage Ref. The show premieres also at a super late tune spot – 10:30 pm ET. Guests include Madonna, Larry David and Ricky Gervais. A bad time slot, a late time slot, and Madonna giving advice on marriage ? Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

Reaction to coverage of the 2010 Olympics has been mixed, at best. While some events have been able to be found live streamed on Ustream or Justintv.com (where you could probably find tonight’s Closing Ceremony), replay videos have not been on Youtube, unlike the previous summer Olympic games, for the most part.

While many of the details of the closing ceremony are still unknown, the Olympics Closing Ceremony executive producer is already given some hints. Typically any Olympics Closing Ceremony features the passing of the torch and flag from the current to the future host city.

But Executive Producer David Atkins reveals you should see a “celeb-fest” Sunday night. While Atkins isn’t telling which famous Canadian celebrities you will see,  Sunday will be a “celebration of Canadian humor, talent and innovation” says Atklins.

That is, if we can ever figure out what time it is suppose to be on TV.

Yes, the Ravens ARE interested in T.O. Ravens T.O. trade rumors heat up as John Harbaugh says Terrell Owens does interest him.

The Ravens head coach wouldn’t say if a deal is being worked out currently. But at the NFL Combine Saturday (which is becoming more of a press event for NFL trade rumors than for NFL draft reports) Ravens coach John Harbaugh said:

“I’ve always said I’ve got a lot of respect for T.O. and I know (Ravens GM) Ozzie (Newsome) does too. He had a good year last year, we watched him on tape and he was very effective.”

“We’re interested in T.O. We’re interested in all the guys that can make our team better. We were coming back from Iraq last year (on an NFL goodwill tour) with Jon Gruden and Jeff Fisher and Tom Coughlin. We’re sitting in the airport there. And the waiter comes over and says, hey, Terrell Owens is in there at Burger King. We’re like come on. We laughed about it. He said ‘No, he’s really over there.’ So we ran over there just like fans. I guarantee we didn’t ask for autograph, but we did say hi and kind of rekindled the relationship. I think he’s a good guy and a good player.”

Sounds like the making of a good burger commercial.

VIDEO! Watch video of Madonna from tonight’s “The Marriage Ref”. Madonna joins Larry Seinfeld’s “The Marriage Ref” which premieres tonight.

The logical response is …. Madonna as a ref on marriage? Even more illogical is the premiere slot, putting this (otherwise entertaining show) behind the hideously boring Men’s Cross Country Olympic coverage.

Yes, the Marriage Ref does air after the Closing Ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics. But if traffic numbers Sunday here are any indication, the viewership for NBC may have been with the Hockey game earlier and gone downhill ever since. (Very little interest has sparked, as least on this site Sunday, for the Closing Ceremonies.)

The show premieres also at a super late tune spot – 10:30 pm ET. Guests include Madonna, Larry David and Ricky Gervais.

A bad time slot, a late time slot, and Madonna giving advice on marriage ? …. Will the show be canceled Monday morning?

Watch the video below.

SPOILERS! Here is your Dancing with the Stars 2010 cast. Your Dancing with Stars 2010 cast professional dancers have been announced.

They include Smirnoff, Amstel, Chmerkovskiy, Chelsie Hightower, Cheryl Burke, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Tony Dovolani, Edyta Sliwinska, Anna Demidova, Anna Trebunskaya, and Damian Whitewood. Lacey Schwimmer, Jonathan Robrets, and Dmitry Chaplin are not returning.

And how about the celebrities? Pam Anderson is confirmed. The rest of the cast will be announced Monday morning (return here for the final list of names).

Rumor Mill says the celebrities will include:
Kate Gosselin
Greg Louganis
John Stamos
Kevin Federline
Brooklyn Decker
Evan Lysacek

LALATE thinks Kate will definitely NOT be doing it. Also, as is the case with the ABC casting trend, expect 1-2 athletes and 1-2 politicians.

The perfect cast members for ratings ? LALATE’S would cast … John Edwards and Riley Hunter.
