BREAKING NEWS: Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni to get the pink slip from NBC? Read here to find out why…

Leave a comment

Law and Order’s, Dick Wolf, may terminate “SVU’s” two biggest stars of the show, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni…why? It’s all about the money. Reports say that Mariska’s and Chris’s $350 K contracts will expire in May, when they renew their contracts for the 11th season, Mariska and Chris are asking to be payed more, but Dick Wolf is not allowing it.

More on it here:

Mariska and Chris are the reasons the show gets high ratings every week. Those two help the show. Without them, the ratings would tank. These two are the best actors of the show and it would be a mistake if they get rid of them.

Christopher Meloni is an amazing actor and it be a shame if he was to be let go over money. NBC should give them what they want. They deserve to get payed more. Two big name TV stars that helped “SVU” become a mainstream TV show, and they don’t deserve to get paid more?

I know the economy is bad…the only reason Dick Wolf doesn’t want to pay them more is to help save money for his own pockets. If these two get canned, that would be travesty.

Report: Friday Night Lights to get a season 4? Major announcement about that today!!!

Leave a comment

Direct TV and NBC are in negotiations to reveal their decision on the show’s fate publicily sometime today. “Friday Night Lights”, was almost in danger of not renewing since the show came back for a Season 3 this year. The two companies would not reveal details yet until the annoucement is made today, sometime this afternoon or later this evening.

Don’t fret “FNL”  fanatics. Variety says the news of the show would be good, that fanatics like myself would be happy about. So it is possible that the show will have a two season 26 episode of the show’s future.

As some of you may know, I’m a huge fan of this show. It’s a wonderful show, I love it so much. It would be sad if the show only lasted a couple of seasons, I really hope this show goes on for a long time. This year’s season 3 is getting so good, I’m hooked to this show.

I’ll be looking out for the big announcement today, so look out for a breaking news report of the show in my blog.

Report: Matt Lauer injured in bicycle accident…almost got hit by a deer…

4 Comments

Matt Lauer, the head anchor of “The Today Show”, was slightly injured while riding a bicycle in Long Island. A deer jumped out in front of him which caused Matt to do a flip off the bike and crash onto the ground. Matt had a separated shoulder, and scheduled to have surgery Monday. He was wearing a helmet, thank god.

The Associated Press reports:

I think the Natasha Richardson death is a wake up call that all should wear helmets when doing physical activities. Whether you’re skiing, bike riding, running, riding a motorcycle, etc. Think where Matt would have ended up if he didn’t wear a helmet. He would have been knocked out cold or worse, he could have died instantly too. So at least he wore a helmet.

Thought: “Late Night” with Jimmy Fallon so far…

Leave a comment

I’ve been watching “Late Night” with Jimmy Fallon quite a lot, and I’m surprised, Jimmy is actually doing a great job. He’s entertaining. He has some great guests on the show that no other late night talk show would have. Jimmy also has musical guests on there that are not too well known as well. Plus, Jimmy having the Roots as his host band is really cool.

I still miss Conan O’ Brien, but Conan will be making his debut on “The Tonight Show” June 1st, so we will have to wait all the way to June 1st for the return of Conan on TV.

Jimmy is doing okay. He’s actually pretty funny and entertaining. I think Jimmy was hired for the job ’cause Lorne Michaels liked his work with SNL’s “Weekend Update”.

“Late Night” with Jimmy Fallon is not bad at all. I like the show.

Report: Clooney’s appearance on “ER” scores high on NBC!!!

Leave a comment

As this was expected and no surprise to me, Clooney’s appearance on “ER” scored the highest ratings. Last night’s “ER” episode was the most watched show on NBC. Clooney’s episode scored a 10.7 million viewers in all during that 10:00 p.m. hour. I expect the ratings go even higher as the series head to it’s final episode. Clooney probably filmed only four new episodes of ER, that’s it.

Report: Matt Lauer not doing his “Where In the World…” series this year for the Today Show…

Leave a comment

Sesame Street is not the only victim on TV of a bad economy. Even Matt Lauer host of “The Today Show” is also. Every year for the national news show, “The Today Show”, Matt will have his own series titled, “Where in the World Is Matt Lauer”. It’s a show where Matt will travel to different places all over the world and you have to guess where he is. He is not doing it this year ’cause the bad economy is not letting him afford his world trips. Instead of doing world trips, you will have to guess where he is in the United States.

Great to hear that Andy Richter and Conan are reuniting. I wonder how long Andy plans on staying with Conan for the next round?

Andy’s a funny guy.

I wonder whose Conan’s first celebrity guests will be when his first show will air in June? I’m sure there will be big name stars to help the ratings. We’ll find out soon.
