Sherri Shepherd Newest Host for ‘The View’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Announcements, Rumors,
As we reported back in July, Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi Goldberg were thought to be the leading contenders to join daytime’s The View. And while reported contract negotiations delayed Sherri’s official selection, Whoopi was introduced to fans on Tuesday.
But according to a new report in USA Today, fans of Shepherd will not have to wait much longer. As Barbara Walters mentioned on today’s show, the final host would be announced in just a few days. Hallelujah! A source reports to the newspaper that Shepherd, who has filled in many times as a guest host, will indeed be the one shifting to a permanent status.
Once the official announcement is made next Monday (September 10th), a collective sigh of relief will be heard around the country.

Select Xbox Live Arcade Titles Get Price Reductions
Posted by Paul Hamilton Categories: Downloadable Content, Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade,
Starting on midnight Sunday four Xbox Live Arcade titles will be getting a brief 50% price cut. Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe, normally 800 Microsoft Points, are getting reduced to 400 and coin-op classics Dig Dug and Gauntlet are going down from 400 to 200.
The price reduction will last through Monday.
Microsoft has had price reductions and these kind of limited-time sales before, but usually they have been reserved for game-specific downloadable content. This is the first time they’ve extended price fluctuations to full XBLA titles, although the announcement does vaguely hint that this may be a semi-regular occurrence.

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Lineup Announced
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements,
The official lineup for ABC‘s Dancing With the Stars was announced this morning on Good Morning America. And despite the ‘leaked’ list you might have heard about this week, here is the correct list as presented by Apolo Ohno, Carrie Ann Inaba and host Tom Bergeron:
- Melanie Brown (a.k.a. ‘Scary Spice’) - Baby momma of Eddie Murphy’s latest child.
- Sabrina Bryan - ‘Cheetah’ girl (I don’t want to know what that means).
- Jennie Garth - 90210 alum #
12 (if you include Ian Ziering from last season) - Josie Maran - The supermodel of the female contestants. I’m already voting against her.
- Marie Osmond - She’s a little bit country.
- Jane Seymour - Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
- Helio Castroneves - He’s going to drive his partner all over the dance floor.
- Mark Cuban - If he doesn’t win, he’ll probably just buy the network.
- Cameron Mathison - A soap star from All My Children. As if ABC needed more publicity.
- Wayne Newton - Mr. Las Vegas will have to learn how to share a stage.
- Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - Apparently the producers felt all boxers could dance.
- Albert Reed - I hear he’s a model as well. I approve of this one.

Wayne Newton Will Be ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements,
The official list will be released in just a few days, but Entertainment Weekly is already reporting a contestant’s name for next season’s Dancing With the Stars. Vegas crooner Wayne Newton will be stepping out on the dance floor to win the hearts of ladies old enough to know who he is. (For those of you who need some help, he sang that ‘Danke Schoen’ song featured in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off).
Look for Apolo Ohno and Judge Carrie Ann Inaba to announce the entire list on August 29’s Good Morning America.

‘The View’ To Announce Replacements
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Rumors,
For months now, our view of The View has been constantly changing. A long roster of guests have helped to help fill the seat once occupied by Star Jones Reynolds. And occasionally, Whoopi Goldberg has sat in the first seat left cold by Rosie O’Donnell.
The guessing game should end next week when producers are expected to announce permanent replacements. Frequent seat-warmer Sherri Shepherd is finally expected to move from contract to permanent status. (As many times as she has spilled her life story to those ladies, I would be incredibly upset if she did not get the gig). As for the other slot? That has Whoopi’s name written all over it. Apparently, this means all rumors of a possible gay counterpart will probably be squashed.
Unfortunately, ABC’s Human Resources Department will only be getting a quick break. Their job recruitment services will again be on demand soon when Elisabeth Hasselbeck goes on her maternity leave.

PS2 Sees Price Drop In Japan
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: PlayStation 2,
As of September 15, the price of the Playstation 2 in Japan will be dropping from 19980 Yen to 16000 Yen. The 16000 Yen price brings the console more in line with the pricing in other territories, and may be aimed at helping move more PS2 consoles in Japan ahead of the anticipated Playstation 3 release. Price drops have now been announced in both the European and Japanese territories. The price drop will happen a week before this year’s Tokyo Game Show, and may be the first in a series of announcements leading up to this convention.
