Writers Strike: Changes For ‘24’ and ‘Prison Break’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Prison Break, News

The writers strike will obviously be doing a number to all the network schedules.  Here are two big highlights announced today by FOX:

Not wanting to interrupt 24 only halfway through its day, the execs have decided to delay its premiere altogether.  Season 7 had been scheduled to start Jan. 13/14; now the debut is on indefinite hold.  If nothing else, maybe this will allow Kiefer Sutherland to serve his entire jail sentence all at once.

Speaking of jail, the boys at Prison Break will now be returning to the airwaves sooner than expected.  The show was originally slated to end its fall run on Dec. 17th and return April 14th; it will now start its Christmas break after Nov. 12’s episode then return on Jan. 14th.

Paris Hilton is a Prisoner

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Talent, Gossip

It’s official: Paris Hilton has now spent her first full day behind bars. The heiress was sentenced to jail time because of probation violations, though her original 45-day sentence was scaled back to 23 days in the slammer. Paris Hilton’s attorney, Richard A. Hutton, says the heiress is “doing well” in spite of her current incarceration.  He also went on to say that Hilton will use her jail time as a period of reflection to see how she can make the world better. If Paris really wanted to make the world better, she could make herself a positive role model for the young girls who worship her, and keep herself out of both jail and trouble…and skeezy outfits. Paris, accompanied by sister Nicky and mom Kathy, was taken to Men’s Central Jail in downtown L.A. at 11:15 pm in an attempt to foil the press and paparazzi who were just hoping to get a glimpse of the hotel heiress before she disappeared inside the building. Hilton was transported from the men’s jail sixteen miles to her new cell, where she will make a home for herself for the next three weeks. Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore called Hilton “cooperative and focused” and said there will be no further comments on the heiress until after she is released.
