On top of divulging the “spoiler” flat-out in the title, Santos confirms the fact that Adrian Pasdar has been offed on the NBC action-drama. Wait a second—hasn’t he already been dead as of last season? I doubt that anyone was counting on a hero to bring him back from the afterlife…

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.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the June 28th broadcast of the 2009 BET Awards will be devoted to the musical icon. Producer Stephen Hill reports a high interest from the participants to honor their idol. “I think what you’re going to find is that acceptance speeches for awards will have nothing to do about the artists themselves, but about the influence that Michael Jackson had on them,” Hill said.

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.

Farrah Fawcett Loses Battle with Cancer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: News, Video
Farrah Fawcett, the iconic blonde star with the never-to-be-forgotten poster, died today in a California hospital. She was 62.
The actress’ death comes after a nearly three-year long health battle. Despite being declared free of anal cancer in early 2007, the disease quickly returned. A recent NBC special documented the star’s quest for alternative treatments.
Although she will most likely be remembered as Jill Munroe, one of the original Charlie’s Angels, Fawcett actually chose to move on from that series after only 22 episodes. (A few more guest appearances followed.) After a few disappointing stabs at a film career, Farrah earned critical praise when she returned to the small screen. Memorable turns in several television projects - including The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices - eventually earned Farrah a number of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.
