Pam Anderson, Rick Salomon Cancel Series

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Gossip,

Pam Anderson and Rick SalomonPlans for an E! series featuring newlyweds have been canceled. wrote on her Web site that she did consider doing the show - which wasn’t going to feature any of her children or her family life - but has since had second thoughts.

The couple, newly married in October, “fell in love” as a result of a game of strip poker. Sexual favors were called for, Pam performed them, and evidently affection followed. Anderson called the experience “romantic,” which is actually a little tragic.

There is still a chance the show could still go forward, as Anderson has been known to change her mind several times on the same topic in the past.

‘Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood’: The Next Great Reality Family?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Cable, Gossip,

Snoop Dogg paved the way for musicians as stars, but so far there have been few successes for rich recording families. Many have tried, but few have matched the ratings success of this first musical family. E! hopes to change all that with their new series, .

The series will feature Snoop himself, of course, along with wife Shante and their three kids aged 7, 9 and 11.  The artist’s life will include all sorts of tidbits from the recording industry as the rapper is currently poised to release his new album, Ego Trippin’, in a matter of days.  But with Father Hood, it’s what viewers won’t see that will be interesting.  Surprisingly, this show isn’t going to be about gangsta living and chasing tail; audiences will get a rare look at Dogg in his California hills home as a family man.

Alternatives For Late Night TV

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Reality, Talk Shows, Cable, FX, MTV, Editorial,

Television RemoteIt’s only been a full work week since Hollywood’s writers went on strike, and already it seems the days of great late night talk programs are long gone. The last time the writer’s guild went on strike, it lasted an agonizingly long 22 weeks. Without Colbert, Stewart, Letterman and , how is American supposed to get its satirical, tongue-in-cheek twists on current events?

With a shortage of new scripts and a hiatus of many major shows, more Americans are now channel-surfing to find an entertainment fix. What they’ll find is a mishmash of reality TV - those wonderfully unscripted programs that are always there in the event of a script shortage. Channels like Travel, Discovery, Animal Planet and the Food Network are largely unaffected by the strike, though how MTV (and channels like it) will continue with their staged reality programs is anyone’s guess.

Instead of watching repeats on network TV, turn to these channels as the midnight hour approaches. , the , , , , and are among those still offering brand-new episodes. It’s better than re-runs.

Censoring the Emmys

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, FOX, Editorial, Gossip,

Emmy  The 2007 Emmy Awards aren’t about everything that was seen, but everything not seen…and heard. Kathy Griffin’s speech was censored by E! when she made some off-color jokes about the Christian religion, but even FOX got button-friendly when the live telecast aired Sunday night. For viewers, it probably looked like little more than a glitch, but it was actually censorship rearing its head. Sally Field, who accepted her award for her role on Brothers and Sisters, was interrupted mid-speech by music, then began again. For a few seconds, cameras cut away from Field and showed an odd view of lighting fixtures while no sound poured forth from TV speakers. This was not a mistake. Ray Romano and were also censored during the broadcast, which aired with a few seconds’ delay for just such events.

FOX execs say the three acts of censorship were for language and nothing more, but Sally Field’s impassioned anti-war speech might have provoked concerns about more than bad language for FOX, a network well-known for its conservative newscasts. Romano was edited for talking about an upcoming FOX show, and a camera shot of Heigl was cut when she muttered an expletive, though not near any microphones. Expletives are one thing, but opinions, jokes, and even plot-spoilers shouldn’t be censored – not by FOX, cable stations, or in fact anyone else.

Censors Edit Kathy Griffin Emmy Speech

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Spoilers,

Kathy Griffin’s Emmy acceptance speech, which was taped, will be edited before it airs on the upcoming E! channel broadcast. E! will show the taped portion of the Emmys on Saturday, though the prime time Emmys will be broadcast live on FOX Sunday night. In a Monday statement, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences called Griffin’s remarks “offensive” and said they would not be part of the E! telecast. Here’s what Griffin said: “A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.” She then held up her word and announced, “This award is my god now!” Religious critics are already calling Griffin’s words a “hate speech” and “blasphemous.”

Ryan Seacrest Lands Super Bowl Job

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Sports, FOX,

Ryan Seacrest Naturally, when you think of the Super Bowl, you think of… Ryan Seacrest? Well, I’m not so sure that’s a match made in heaven, but it does fulfill Seacrest’s dream of becoming the hardest working man in Hollywood. That’s got to be his dream—otherwise he’s just got a lot of bills to pay off or something. No worries though, he won’t be doing any sportscasting, rather he’ll serve as entertainment host. Huh? Since when does the Super Bowl need a play-by-play of the entertainment climate? David Hill, chairman of Fox Sports Television Group said, “The Super Bowl has grown to become a landmark holiday on the American calendar, attracting not only the sports world, but the biggest stars in music and entertainment. Naturally, we’d like our broadcast to reflect that growth, so we’ve expanded our pregame lineup beyond the realm of sports.” So, Seacrest will be working the pregame red carpet (if that’s what you want to call it), interviewing the celebs and introducing pregame entertainment. Seacrest, naturally, is “thrilled about joining the absolute best sports broadcast team in the world.” Can’t you see the dollar signs in his eyes?
