Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip

Family GuyHome of the nation’s number one show, 20th Century Fox will soon be paying one of their writer/producers one of the biggest salaries in TV. Here’s the twist: that person doesn’t work on .

Seth MacFarlane, creator of and American Dad, will become the best-paid writer/producer on TV thanks to his new contract. The agreement ensures that Family Guy will remain on the air until 2012, but it also covers a few other projects still in the till. Under the terms of the contract, MacFarlane will continue to pen episodes of American Dad as well as The Cleveland Show (a planned Family Guy spinoff). “I get a lot of pleasure out of making show,” said MacFarlane to the press. “It’s a bonus to get getting paid well for it, and it’s a double bonus to be getting paid exorbitantly for it.” The amount in question remains undisclosed, though it is expected to soar above the $60 million, five-year contract offered to J.J. Abrams (Lost) in 2006.

Posted by David Onda Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, Editorial, Features, Spoilers

The B & G finale! Tonight, we will finally find out who is the winner of this season four of Beauty and the Geek as decided by America’s vote. We begin the episode with host Mike Richards welcoming us and taking a look back at the season’s evolution. My first thought is how horribly pieced together the crowd shots are - everyone nodding and smiling at each other and having chit-chat as if this is some sort of infomercial. The crowd looks way too interested in the most mundane things. Next, we are introduced to each of the runner-up teams. Either the make-up department did a great job of re-makeovering the geeks, or they’ve done a surprisingly good job of doing upkeep.

Join me after the jump to find out who is the winner of Beauty and the Geek season four!

Kid Rock  Though the headlines were pushed farther down the page in the wake of Britney’s jaw-dropping performance at the MTV VMAs, the battle royale between Tommy Lee and did get some of the attention it deserved. Any time aging rockers start to duke it out over a fading, bleach-blonde actress, it’s just good entertainment. So…why not put Rock and Lee in a ring and let them duke it out for real? At least, that’s the idea that has tickled the fancy of Las Vegas showman Jeff Beacher, who is offering the rockers $1 million to fight at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. To winner go the spoils, and the odds-on favorite is already Rock. Beacher has promised that if the rockers agree, he’ll even have Mini Britney open the show. Mini Britney is the nickname of 26-year-old performer Terra Jole, who is known for her Britney impersonation.
