American Idol Gives Simon Cowell a Raise
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors
According to the New York Post, judge Simon Cowell has been offered at least $100 million to continue with American Idol in the upcoming season - a huge hike from the paltry $34 million he made from the show in 2009.
Idol, by the way, makes around $900 million every year, so the huge raise shouldn’t put too much strain on the reality show. Looks like all Cowell’s talking about leaving the show had an effect - no way is Idol about to let him walk.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, News
Next week, FOX will pay tribute to the King of Pop’s musical library. Now the network is planning to honor his contributions to dance.
Hours after Michael Jackson’s death, plans for a special So You Think You Can Dance were in the works. Based on a series of tweets started by Nigel Lythgoe, we may soon see an MJ-themed broadcast with numbers from Wade Robson (a former Jackson back-up dancer), Mia MIchaels…and former Janet Jackson-choreographer Paula Abdul.

Infomercial Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Commercials, News, Video
UPDATE #2: It appears that Mays’ death was actually related to heart disease.
UPDATE: Billy was reportedly not wearing a seat belt when he was hit in the head during the flight yesterday.
Billy Mays, the man who could sell just about anything, was found dead today in his Florida home. He was 50 years old.
According to officials, the infomercial guru was discovered by his wife Deborah. There are no indications to believe that any foul play was involved.
Just yesterday, Billy was onboard a US Airways flight that took a hard landing at the Tampa International Airport. Although several passengers did receive minor bumps and bruises, it’s not known whether Mays’ death could have been related to that incident.
The man who sold everything from Orange Glo to OxiClean had been appearing on the Discovery Channel with fellow marketer Anthony Sullivan. Pitchmen is next scheduled to air this Wednesday at 10:00.

Michael Jackson-Themed American Idol Gets Encore
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol
If there was a way for FOX to jump in on national news while simultaneously promoting Idol, they would. And they will.
Next week, the network will honor Michael Jackson’s death by rebroadcasting two hours that were devoted to the legend’s music. It was just this past March when American Idol’s Top 13 contestants performed songs from the singer’s library.
Would you like to see Kris Allen whip out the guitar for ‘Remember the Time’? Eager to hear Adam Lambert rock out to ‘Black or White’? Trying to remember if Megan Joy’s version of ‘Rockin’ Robin’ was really that bad? Then tune in this Monday @ 8:00 to relive it all again.

Finale: I’m A Celebrity Gets Out of Here
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video
As the final three celebrities waited to hear the results, the finale of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here proceeded…with a ton of clips.
Out of thirteen who came to Costa Rica, only John Salley, Lou Diamond Phillips and Torrie Wilson remain. This outcome was determined at Tuesday’s elimination, which saw the end of Sanjaya Malakar and Patti Blagojevich in the competition. At intervals during the finale, live cameras showed this group of three sitting around the fire, silently waiting for whatever would come next.
For this season ender, the competitors of the season - minus Frangela - returned or remained in Costa Rica to gather for the cameras. “I been callin’ every day, trying to get back in,” Spencer Pratt told the hosts.

I’m A Celebrity Narrows Down a Final Three
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video
Thirteen celebrities were deposited in Costa Rica. By the end of Tuesday’s episode of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here, only three would go on to compete to win the show - and a slew of money for their charities. With five remaining and two slated for departure, emotions were running high among the campers.
“It’s been a great time,” Lou Diamond Phillips told the camera, though spirits were low with the end in sight - and elimination still looming in the future.
Celebs shared favorite moments around the campfire as clips played for our amusement, reminding us of the funny, tense and surprising events that have happened during this season. Some have made friends, some have made enemies, some have learned just how far they can push themselves, and others learned they can’t push themselves at all. But only one of them will win.

I’m A Celebrity: Surprising Switch Ups in the Jungle
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video
With two less divas in the jungle, Costa Rica is a little quieter on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here. More would go missing before the end of the Monday episode - but that wasn’t the only surprise NBC was waiting to spring on viewers.
Janice Dickinson and Holly Montag were taken out of the contest at the end of last week’s episodes, which eliminated at least one problematic contestant. The celebs were sorry to see Holly go, though in a way it’s only fair as she joined the competition at least one week after everyone else arrived. Sanjaya Malakar, who’d developed a close friendship with the Montag sis, was especially sad when she left. Malakar, close to Dickinson as well, was drained by the experience.
“Janice Dickinson has been like a thorn in my paw,” John Salley admitted in the confessional. For most, there was something of a joyous atmosphere in the air after Dickinson trekked down the elimination bridge.
