Things are looking up for ’24’ fans. Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that NBC is looking to pick up the series, an if they don’t, it’s highly possible that Fox with make a ’24’ movie. The only thing for certain is that the film won’t be made until the series ends. Sounds like a win-win to me!
‘American Idol’ Top 12 Announced, no Wild Cards This Year
I am not sure if anyone is as disappointed as I am that there are no wild cards this year. The wild card choices by the judges happened to be one of my favorite parts of the season. You may remember it from the first three seasons of the show. They brought it back last, and have nixed it again. Without the wild cards, none of the following contestants would have advanced to the top 12: Clay Aiken; Matt Giraud; Kimberly Caldwell; and Jennifer Hudson. There were other wild card choices by the judges over the years, but I left them off the list because if I told you who they were, it might not serve my point that the wild card round is a good idea. Actually, I think Jennifer Hudson might be the only person that proves my point. Oh well.
Shrek Trailer Released
The new trailer was released for ‘Shrek Forever After.’ This is the fourth installment of the Shrek franchise (in case you missed the pun in the title). In total, the ‘Shrek’ films have grossed over 2 billion dollars for Dreamworks. Given that number, I imagine Dreamworks will pump out at least 20 more of these films. The planned release is May 21, 2010. Watch the trailer below.
Richard Gere Finally Talks about What Went Wrong with Cindy Crawford
Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were Hollywood’s “IT” couple in the 90’s. They married in Vegas, but it only lasted 3 years. The marriage was constantly plagued by breakup rumors, and the couple assured the public of their solidarity even 6 months before the split. Now, Gere is finally talking. He told The Daily Mail that the 17 year age gap was largely responsible for the split and that “he married her because [he] didn’t want to lose her.” He also said that he wasn’t sure he wanted children at the time. Gere is now remarried to Carey Lowell and has one son.
Adam Lambert sings for VH1 Unplugged
It’s no secret that I have not been an Adam Lambert fan lately. I was a big fan of his on ‘American Idol’ though, and if you watch the clip below you will see why. The boy can sing.

Jersey Shore’s Ronnie and Sammi Break up . . . for good this time?
It looks like season’s ‘Jersey Shore’ is going to have plenty of drama for the fans. The entire cast will be reuniting in Miami, including the recently broken up Ronnie and Sammi. Ronnie has been very mature about the breakup though, making sure to post all of his recent exploits on twitter. Here are some of his recent posts. Before you begin to read the tweets, be aware that “GTS” means Gym Tan Smush. Apparently, smush = sex. Got it?
“Come on Snook u can never GTS to much ( u kno that lol)…..wooooo…2 weeks, You ready? bc im not”
“Early morning GTS.. Busy day gonna be crazy….”
“GTS for next few days.. then Ohio on Fri to shut that bitch down… Lets get it Athens”
The ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Promo is Out
This is one of my favorite reality shows on television. This year’s celebrities include: Rod Blagojevich; Sharon Osbourne; Darryl Strawberry; Curtis Stone; Sinbad; Cindi Lauper; Bret Michaels; Bill Goldberg; Summer Sanders; Holly Robinson Peete; Maria Kanellis; Carol Leifer; Selita Ebanks; and Michael Johnson. I have to admit I have not heard of all of these “celebrities,” but as long as Bret Michaels from ‘Rock of Love’ is on the show, I am excited. Do you think he’ll get a challenge where he has to have sex with lots of skanky whores? Let’s hope so!
Katherine Heigl is Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
Mike Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly has just announced the end of ‘Izzie Stevens’ on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Since Heigl’s film career has taken off, she has long desired to escape her contract on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ As a result, there have been some cutting barbs in the press between Heigl and the show’s creators over the years. Here are some of them:
Heigl took her name out of the Emmy race and, she told the press that she felt she wasn’t given the proper material by Grey’s writers to warrant an Emmy nomination
Heigl told Letterman that she had a 17 hour work day which she thought was “cruel and mean,” and the Grey’s camp responded by saying that the long work day was actually a favor to her to work around her movie schedule
Heigl complained to the press that she wasn’t given the respect she deserves during her contract renegotiation so she walked out.
You may remember my post about why George Clooney is so respected in Hollywood. Clooney’s film career took off while he was on ER, and instead of acting like Heigl and bashing ER to get out of his contract, he respected the show and stayed until his contract was up. I think she should have done the same. Time will tell as to whether she will pay the price for this.
‘A Time to Kill’ is Headed to Broadway
Remember this film? It’s the one where Matthew McConaughey can actually be seen acting instead of running around with his shirt off. Well, it’s headed to Broadway sometime next year. It is the first Grisham book to go to Broadway, and it will be adapted by Rupert Holmes. Fear not though . . . I don’t think anyone will be singing.
