How to turn an old bluetooth earpiece into an adapter for my tv?

Something I would like to be able to do is connect my Samsung Galaxy SII to my 40 inch Toshiba LED tv.

The problem is my tv doesn't have bluetooth, and I don't like the idea of having to spend 30-50 dollars right now for a proper adapter. So I had a couple questions.

So my first question was if one of these tiny cheap adapters would allow me to watch video, listen to music, etc. (or maybe even see everything I'm doing on my phone?) from my phone, if I plugged it into my tv. It seems like it is only used to connect devices like a wireless mouse or keyboard to computers, would it work for what I need?

My next question is as follows. Could I turn an old bluetooth earpiece, made for a cellphone, into an adapter for my tv? I know it would take some modifying....if it's even possible.... But if it is how would I do this?

Thank you for reading!

Bluetooth can't handle video, it simply doesn't have the bandwidth (in other words, it can't transmit information fast enough - video needs a LOT of information in a short time to make a moving picture). That's why you can see bluetooth devices for input devices and sound, but not video.
