VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works
While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.
In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

American Idol’s New Spin: Go For the Tears!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors
Every year, someone at FOX gets the idea to slightly (or hell, strongly) tweak the country’s most popular show. One year it’s a difference at Hollywood Week, an emphasis on back story or even the addition of musical instruments. This year, American Idol will be truly fundamentally different for the first time. What can fans expect from the new season?
In addition to a new judge at the table (a shocking casting decision which will dramatically change the chemistry of the show), FOX promises this year’s contestants will be even more “emotional.” If you didn’t get enough tears out of Brooke White last year, this news is sure to please.

Laughs and Duets for Stephen Colbert’s Christmas
Last night, Comedy Central aired Stephen Colbert’s Christmas special for the first time. Did you miss this medley of duets, special guests and conservative comedy? A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All airs again Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and probably many more times before December is through.
This celebration of spirit began with a song and a plea from the funny pundit himself, a new ditty he hopes will become a standard so that many holiday-time royalties will go to him. At one point, the song blatantly begs for money to feed Colbert’s children. Throughout the number, Colbert struts around in fur-covered boots and lots of red. It was, from beginning to end, totally hilarious.

A Week in the the Life: David Cook
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
He won national media attention, the love of thousands of new fans and the highly-coveted title of season seven’s American Idol. What could possibly beat any of these huge life achievements? David Cook’s Billboard results, that’s what.
Eleven David Cook songs hit the Billboard Hot 100 song chart this week - the most new tunes from any performer in the fifty year span the list has existed. “The Time of My Life,” which Cook crooned at the Idol finale, is Cook’s biggest hit of the week. The tune debuted on the chart in the number 3 position. Other Cook tunes listed include his rendition of “Dream Big” (15) and “I’m Alive” (99). He may not be at number one, but he certainly isn’t doing too bad, either.

American Idol’s Heavyweight Battle
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial
For the epic battle of the Davids, American Idol began the week with a boxing, King of the Ring-type theme. Famous ring announcer Michael Buffer kicked off the night not with his famous catchphrase, but with Ryan Seacrest’s (”this is American Idol”). He called this final showdown between the two the “fight of the century, scheduled for three rounds of competition.”
The competitors were announced as David “Sugarfoot” Cook and David “Babyface” Archuleta. Both were replete with silk robes and boxing gloves, while the season’s other Idols looked on from the audience. Ryan Seacrest finally appeared to hype up the crowd, encouraging the audience to sound off for their favorite David.
David Archuleta looked a little swamped by the Nokia theater, shyly admitting that it was, for him, a “dream come true” just to be there. Randy Jackson urged both the competitors to “leave everything on the floor,” calling the night’s contest a “duel for the King of the Nokia.” He advised each to “drop it hard tonight.”

More Bad Press for Miley Cyrus
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Cable, Gossip
It’s a long way down from the top of the pedestal, and young tween idol Miley Cyrus is finding out just how tough that topple can be.
Rock ‘n roll group Lustra has fingered Cyrus for borrowing a little too heftily from their song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” (from the Eurotrip soundtrack) for her tune “Rockstar.”
“Although we are very flattered that Ms. Cyrus took this route, we would have preferred some credit,” guitarist Nick Cloutman told the press. The band, according to Cloutman, is “considering various options to rectify this situation.” As far as I can see, all those options will probably melt down into just one: a very quiet and tidy little settlement - anything to stop the bad reports in the media.
“She doesn’t write the songs - she sings them. We have referred this to Disney,” one of Miley’s reps responded to the news. And Disney, make no mistake, has the best lawyers money can buy.

Jason Castro’s American Idol Experience
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
Clouds of controversy surrounded Jason Castro’s last week on American Idol. From Paula’s flub to Castro’s comments to Entertainment Weekly, the dreadlocked dude gave plenty of Idol watchers plenty to talk about. Recently, Castro sat down again with EW to set the record straight.
Before his Idol elimination, Jason Castro commented to an EW reporter that he was feeling ready to go home. This led, naturally, to angry comments and emails from readers who lambasted the writer of the piece. While Castro did make the comment, his words weren’t as serious as some might have believed. “That day I was in a bad mood,” Jason explained. “I was frustrated with a lot of things.”

Fame and the Top Four Mix on American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial
Performance night for the top four on American Idol began with host Ryan Seacrest announcing the “competition is closer than ever before.” The same could be said of every episode every week, sure, but it was a good enough intro for the evening.
The theme: songs from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. This gave contestants a wide umbrella to show off their personalities, their style and their potential to take the coveted crown: the title of American Idol. These days, the prize is little more than the title itself. The remaining contestants all stand a great chance of getting recording contracts no matter what. But, the show must go on.
“Song selection is everything,” Ryan Seacrest reminded. With such a wide range to choose from, his words were only too true.

Show Tunes Night on American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial
The presence of Andrew Lloyd Webber on American Idol means one thing: show tunes. To create the right effect for this momentous night, the band section was extended to accommodate an orchestra and the contestants were forced to sing outside the usual Idol box. Who was able to pull it off…and who couldn’t get off the stage fast enough?
After the Top 6 Idols were introduced, the show paid homage to the composer who has meant so much to both screen and stage. For their master class with Lord Webber, the contestants were treated to a visit to the Phantom of the Opera theater. Andrew Lloyd Webber took a different approach to mentorship than last week’s Mariah Carey. He focused on the meaning behind the song and the emotional connections each singer need to make. Were they all able to follow the advice?
Before the night truly began, Randy Jackson declared “this is probably gonna be the toughest night of the season.” Simon Cowell advised that contestants should sound “memorable, but also contemporary.”
