This will be Rush’s first TV performance in more than three decades. The band Rush will appear on “The Colbert Report” a show hosted by comedian Stephen Colbert which airs on Comedy Central. Rush will perform their classic “Tom Sawyer” for this Wednesday’s show on “The Colbert Report”. Check your local TV guide for showtimes. Rush has NOT played on television since 1975.

Hmmm…I guess Sarah really was fucking Matt Damon. I’m sure you were predicting that joke coming.

It’s about time they’ve split up! What the hell is a sexy and gorgeous woman like Sarah doing with a freaky looking chubby dude?

Now she is free to get herself a better man! Kudos to you Sarah! Good move!

Leave a comment

The main star for the original “Beverly Hills 90210” Jason Priestly drops out of reprising his role as Brandon Walsh for the spinoff TV show when asked to do it. He maybe looking to direct a few episodes though, only when his old cast mates are starring in them.

Jason feels that Brandon did his time from the original series and feels that the character is not needed for the new series.

Maybe it is kind of a good thing that Luke Perry and Jason aren’t returning.

It’s time for new young male stars to rise to the top for the show, we don’t need to see them being held down by “has beens”.

BREAKING NEWS: Two characters won’t return for season 3 of “Friday Night Lights”…

Leave a comment

Since NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” new renewal for Season 3 coming later this year, the film crew of the show revealed the breaking news that two important characters of the show won’t be returning. They will only return for a few episodes to explain their leaving. Jason Street (pictured above in wheelchair) and Smash Williams (pictured under Jason), will not be returning full time. The actors for those two characters are welcome to renew their contracts but I guess they are moving on as well. They were forced to get out of contract because of the writer’s strike last year when the show was cut off.

To explain their leaving of the show, Jason and Smash both graduated from high school and their last 4 episodes they have left they will move on to a better life. Jason will move on to take care of his pregnant girlfriend and Smash will probably move on to college football.

Aw man, this really blows that two of my favorite characters are leaving!

Ah well, I’m glad Season 3 is returning and at least Kyle Chandler and Taylor Kitsch aren’t leaving.

I can’t wait for the show to come back!

Report: The Osbournes new TV show? Family to host new variety show on FOX…

Leave a comment

The Osbourne family’s reality TV show “The Osbourne’s” only lasted for two seasons, but yep, they get another new TV show on the way. The Osbournes: Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly has just signed a deal with FOX to host a new variety show for 6 episodes, each episode will be an hour long. This show got the idea from other classic variety shows such as “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” and “The Donny and Marie Osmond” show.

The plan to mix musical performances by the Osbournes, doing gameshows, audience participation and out of studio elements. The show will be shot in Los Angeles. Sharon Osbourne is still currently the judge on the hit TV show “America’s Got Talent”.

Variety Reports:

The Osbournes TV show failed, this one will probably fail too. The family can’t get enough of their fame. It must be awesome to have Ozzy as a dad.

I think this is a test to see if people cares for the Osbournes if they want to bring on Season 3 for “The Osbournes” TV show.

Jeff Goldblum had always been a struggling actor trying to get recognition, Law and Order will give him that recognition. Great idea! I’m down with Goldblum being part of the Law and Order cast. Cool!
