After ten years with the CW/UPN organizations, the wrestlers of the WWE are now in search of a new home. Friday Night Smackdown - a decent ratings earner for the network - wasn’t apparently considered worthy of its renewal price. Displeased with recent negotiations, World Wrestling Entertainment has started shopping its product around town.
Although the loss of the show will now create a two-hour void in CW‘s weekend lineup, the network will now have a place to shelve their experiments gone wrong (e.g. Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants). Or maybe they can use the spot to air marathons of America’s Next Top Model or Beauty and the Geek?
Whatever they ultimately do, they have until Sept. 12th to figure it out.

Small Screen ‘Star Wars’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sci-Fi/Horror, Gossip, Rumors
Star Wars creator George Lucas is planning a live-action TV series spinoff of the well-loved sci-fi film franchise. Although he’s just started working on the series, Lucas is firm that it will not contain any Skywalkers. In fact, no major characters from the film will appear in the small screen version. Lucas (jokingly?) told reporters the series will be about the life of robots, though he won’t reveal any other details about the series. There is no network yet attached to the work.
Will the public love the small screen Star Wars as much as they love the movies? If the merchandising tells us nothing, it’s that people will buy anything with Star Wars printed on it.

Winnie The Pooh Lawsuit Rages On
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Kids, Gossip, News
Cuddly toys, DVDs, story books, blankets, towels, clothing…well, the list goes on and on when it’s time to consider Pooh Bear merchandise. The honey-crazy bear has lit up TV screens and movie marquees for years and years, but it’s his court battle that’s grabbing all the headlines now. Would you have the courage to sue Winnie the Pooh? The Slesinger family does, and has battled the Disney Company for several years for rights to Pooh-related royalties. The family claims that Disney violated copyright and trademark agreements, among other disputes, and seeks up to two billion dollars in back royalties as compensation for Disney’s oversight. That could certainly buy a whole lot of honey, which thankfully never, ever spoils. The battle has raged since 1991, when Stephen Slesinger, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the company concerning Winnie’s merchandised assets. Disney is maneuvering to cancel and delay talks, creating even more drama around the case, and the Slesingers are publicly upset. Reportedly, Disney grosses six billion dollars a year from Pooh Bear and all his related merchandise.
