Howard Stern Addresses American Idol Rumors
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors, Video
The media’s been going crazy since recent rumors of staffing changes at American Idol surfaced. Simon Cowell revealed weeks ago that he’ll be jumping the sinking FOX flagship, and rumor has it that he’ll reunited with Paula Abdul on his Stateside version of X-Factor. Meanwhile, the folks behind Idol are reportedly looking for his replacement - and the rumors suggest that replacement might be radio shock jock Howard Stern.
On his Sirius radio program, Stern alluded to the rumors and added (in his usual ribald way) “there’s not a better job on the planet than judging that [expletive deleted] karaoke contest.” He then went on to say that he would do the show - if they offer $100 million. I don’t think that’s going to happen, so we can all take a big, deep breath of relief now.

DeGeneres, DioGuardi React to Simon Cowell’s Idol Departure
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors
Talk show maven and newest Idol addition Ellen DeGeneres is “very, very sad” that Simon Cowell is leaving the show, and who can blame her? With Cowell gone, it’s safe to assume that American Idol’s future is now on a downward spiral, and Ellen’s new job is likely to become a very brief blip on the map of her career.
“He announced he’s leaving on my first day - I’m trying not to take it personally,” Ellen cracked jokes, as usual, while talking to her audience. “He’s a huge part of that show, but he wanted a change.”
And so sounded the death knell of America’s most popular reality TV series.

Simon Cowell Leaving American Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News
Was it something Ellen DeGeneres said?
Although American Idol 9 hasn’t officially started, we already know how the season is going to end: with a goodbye to Simon Cowell.
FOX execs - with help from Cowell himself - officially announced today that the judge we love and/or hate will be leaving the program after the next winner is crowned. Simon, as rumored, will focus his attention to an American version of The X Factor. (It was the British program that helped launched Susan Boyle’s career.)
Cowell will serve as both executive producer and judge on the series launching in Fall 2011. If other rumors prove true, we could also see his former coworker, Paula Abdul, sitting right there beside him.

NBC Response to Jay Leno Cancellation Rumors
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Cancellations, Gossip, Ratings
UPDATE: The New York Times claims Leno will move to 11:35 PM with O’Brien starting at 12:05 AM.
Has NBC already given up on its primetime experiment? Although no one could blame the network for canceling The Jay Leno Show given its dismal numbers and valuable time slot, a report made today may have been a bit premature.
According to industry blog FTVLive.com, NBC had already decided to “pull the plug on Leno,” it just wasn’t known when the cut would be made. But a statement released by the network leads us to believe that execs are willing to hold out…at least, for a little while longer.
“Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today. As we have said all along, Jay’s show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance.”
So what do you of think of the wording? Do you give Jay another few days, weeks or months?
