Watch what happened during Morgan’s recent visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Do you really see a Jaws remake in his future?

Sharks Don’t Like Ryan Seacrest, Either
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Red Carpet, Editorials, Features,
Even though I’m quite guilty of refreshing the E! Online site every five minutes or so, I felt utterly compelled to share a story that they actually consider noteworthy.
The short article centers about none other than their very own, multi-talented, workaholic Ryan Seacrest. Earlier today on his Los Angeles KIIS FM talk show, the American Idol host recalled his recent weekend “shark scare” with listeners: “I was bitten by a shark. It swam up to me, and it took a bite, and then he left.”
As if this couldn’t get even more exciting, Ryan revealed that the “predator” was about the size of a cat and that the incident occurred a whopping four feet from the shore.
Unsure of whether the writer’s sarcasm was lost to me on their site or not, Peter Gicas ends the news flash with a near-mocking “Proof positive that nothing—even a fanged fish—can keep our man down.” Thanks a lot for nothing, Mr. Jaws.

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Will it come down to the Olympic gold medalist, NFL’s Man of the Year or the Chilean actor? Never underestimate a man who telenovela fans supporting him.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Ted has an accident, and his close call with death finds him reevaluating his life and his relationship with Stella.” Yeah, I have no idea how he’s going to share her with Zach Braff either.

CBS Cancels Moonlight, Renews Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, Cancellations, Renewals,
Yesterday, we named those shows recently cut by the major networks. Now we know which CBS programs will be added to that dreaded list.
The freshman dramas receiving the ax include Moonlight and Shark. Although fans of the vampire series did their best to campaign for the cult fave, their passion simply didn’t equate to ratings. (I’m sure the network feared they’d end up with another failed Jericho in their hands.)
Meanwhile, those programs being spared include: How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Rules of Engagement and The Unit. It seems Britney Spears might be good for something after all…
