Report: Bill O’ Reilly vs. Keith Olberman vs. General Electric vs. News Corp…

Leave a comment

Bill O’ Reilly is in the news again. He is now blaming the deaths of US Troops in Iraq on General Electric. Reports are saying that Bill O’ Reilly was sent out to do this by Fox News chairman Roger Ailes. You all know how talk show host Keith Olberman like to attack FOX News a lot? Well Roger Ailes threatened Keith by saying if he doesn’t stop the attacks at FOX News, he’ll send Bill after him. That’s what exactly happened. Bill and Keith were fueding for a long while, that this ended with a ongoing feud between Genereal Electric and News Corp.

Read this 5 page article to see how it all went down:

Just goes to show how much power and ego that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp really have.

Murdoch or Ailes would never fire O’ Reilly, Bill O’ has too much power that he can do anything he wants on TV.

Don Imus and Dog the  Duane Chapman can get fired for saying wrong things, but not Bill.

Report: Playboy is coming out of the closet???

Leave a comment

I am not gay, I am straight but for those who are out there I thought I would report this, looks like the Playboy company is coming out of the closet by planning to make a move into the gay male community by launching a soft-core gay porn Playboy channel for the males for the On-Demand services Time Warner digital cables.

Playboy has been “straight” entertaining men with women since 1953, but now they want to try something different with “man on man” action. No word on when the channel is scheduled to be launching.

More on the story here:

This may soon create a lot of controversy in the news indeed.

Is this a good idea? Playboy was made for straight males, but now they want to try and mix it up with gays.

I don’t see this lasting too long to be honest, Playboy will get a lot of hate from the straights by it.

It don’t hurt to give it a try though to see how it goes. May the rumours of Hugh Hefner being gay begin.

Thought: Is Billy Ray Cyrus using his daughter to get his own music career successful again?

Leave a comment

With all this talk of Miley Cyrus becoming the next biggest star in the world pretty quickly, I have came to a conclusion of something that I had never thought of before. Billy Ray Cyrus, hasn’t had a hit album since “Some Gave All” a multi-platinum album that was a big hit back in 1992. That was the only album that I know of that had a big hit in his career. Billy Ray never had a successful music career ever since that album.

Now he is set to host “Nashville Star” this year thanks to his daughter Miley Cyrus. Soon Billy Ray will once again become the next biggest mega star of the world like he once was in ’92, and not Miley Cyrus. I see Miley’s career being held down with all this sex photos talk with her in the media lately because of Billy Ray’s success recently.

If Billy Ray’s daughter was never this big and famous, then no one would care about Billy Ray Cyrus and wouldn’t be hosting “Nashville Star”.

If you think and read between the lines, you’ll soon start to see that Billy Ray is using Miley Cyrus for his own fame. You’re welcome.

Ratings of America Idol are getting lower and lower! Great news!

The Associated Press Reports:

Stop watching A.I., America! The lower the ratings get, the good chances of A.I. will finally be getting cancelled and getting off our TV screens!

What took America so long to realize that American Idol is a disgrace to this planet?

Report: NBC announce 2008/09 schedule…

Leave a comment

NBC announced the schedule for this year and next for old and new TV shows coming back. There’s a few new TV shows coming out such as “Merlin”, “The Office Spin-Off”, and “Knight Rider”. And of course, most of the poular shows like “30 Rock”, “E.R.”, “The Office”, “Deal Or No Deal”, etc. will all be coming back.

And most of all the show that I look forward to coming back is “Friday Night Lights” which is pretty much my favorite TV show, “FNL” is coming back in the Spring of 2009.

More on it here:

It’s great to see FNL back on there. Very sad to see “Bionic Woman” being gone though ’cause I really enjoyed that show.

Report: Jimmy Fallon is close to being the official host of NBC’s “Late Night”…

Leave a comment

Former Saturday Night Live star, Jimmy Fallon will soon be the official host for NBC’s “Late Night” replacing Conan O’ Brien when he leaves for Jay Leno very soon.

The Associated Press reports:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gG42WUKXbqIj-XXOx9cBfkwdPQ4wD90JLJM00

I am a fan of Jimmy Fallon, I like the dude, he’s funny, don’t get me wrong, but I have a feeling that “Late Night” on NBC ratings will drop. People are so used to seeing Conan being the host that they won’t care for the show anymore no matter who is hosting it.

It’s gonna be really weird seeing Jimmy Fallon making jokes with Max Weinberg the drummer and Conan O’ Brien making jokes with Kevin Eubanks the guitar player but this is something we’ll have to get used to for a long while. It’ll take Conan O’ Brien a while to get used to most definitely.

Don’t be surprised if Conan starts calling Kevin Eubanks by the name of Max by mistake because we all know that’s gonna happen. But I can’t wait for Jay Leno to leave.

Good fucking riddance to Jay. I never found Jay to be funny at all, his jokes are always too simple. Conan makes me laugh hard everytime I see him on TV, it’s gonna be awesome to see Conan earlier at night. Conan O’ Brien is the best late night talk show host, that man is hands down, a comic genius!

BREAKING NEWS: Joseph Mascolo fired from “Days of Our Lives”…

Leave a comment

Huge rumours have been buzzing around the daytime TV forums that actor Joseph Mascolo who has been a longtime cast member for the soap opera “Days Of Our Lives” has been fired from the show…

This news has been floating around, not sure if it’s coming from reliable sources or not:

“Longtime soap star Joseph Mascolo is furious after Days` bosses axed him from the show out of the blue-and did it with a cold phone call. “A show exec called and simply told him his contract isnt being renewed,”says an insider. ‘He’s furious and in a state of shock. He flew into a rage over the phone.’ The 73 year old actor who plays baddie Stefano Dimera first joined the NBC drama in 1982 and worked there nearly 20 years until 2001, when he joined the Bold and the Beautiful for five years. He returned to Days last June reprising his popular role. The storyline put his character in a coma for the past month. “Joe believed DAYS would be his swan song” says the insider. ‘He’s been at the center of a strong story line since he came back. What’s worse is he’s not even being brought out of the coma for a major finale. He’s worked his last day on the show.’

From the Days board:

http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=792125&st=0

What a shame. A longtime “Days” vet canned from the show. As the paragraph explained above Joseph played the evil Stefano Dimera known as the father and mob boss of the Dimera family. I guess putting Stefano in a coma is a way to explain his firing.

What happened was ever since John Black was found alive from the Dimera mansion over an experiment to take out John’s memory, this is what drove John Black’s wife Marlena to take out Stefano’s memory and put him in a coma in return. A revenge type of thing. The left over Dimera family EJ Wells and Tony Dimera has since turned “good guys” since Stefano is no longer around.

Joseph was one of the best actors in the show and it will not be the same without him.

Thought: Robin Williams on last night’s “Law and Order: SVU”…

Leave a comment

I watched it last night. The “Law and Order: SVU” Robin Williams special, and it was surprisingly a very good episode, one of the best Law and Order episodes I’ve seen in a long time. As I already predicted, Robin Williams pulled off an amazing performance, it sent chills. I loved how Robin’s character in the show (pictured above) first turned out to be a good guy then turned bad at the end. Robin’s acting was better than the cast on the show. As a matter of fact, this is why he is doing movies over the years because he is just too good for TV.

I’ll be on the lookout to see how the ratings did for last night’s episode.

Here is the best scene from last night’s episode where Robin really started getting powerful in his performance. This scene with Robin and Christopher Meloni sent chills down my spine. This was a very moving scene. Great acting by both men all around, congrats Robin and Christopher!
