Abdul and Jackson: Duet of a Lifetime?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
Last season’s slipping ratings and lackluster enthusiasm from the press aren’t helping FOX’s American Idol remain the King of All TV, reality or otherwise. Time for Plan B.
In this case, it’s Idol judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. Insiders say the pair are planning a duet not for the Idol stage, but for a much larger one: the Super Bowl. Tom Petty is already set to headline the halftime show, with other artists being added to the mix before the programming is all said and done.
Abdul hasn’t released an album since 1995, and has not publicly performed to such a large audience in several years.

Three Networks to Broadcast Patriots Game
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, CBS, NBC, Announcements, Cable/Satellite,
If you were to look up the word ‘overkill’ in the dictionary, I’m sure some reference to an event this weekend would be in there.
For the first time since Super Bowl I, more than one network will be simulcasting the same football game. And we haven’t even reached the playoffs yet.
The 15-0 New England Patriots will be working to complete the first perfect NFL season since 1972’s Miami Dolphins (14-0). In order to accomplish this, they will need to finish off the New York Giants (10-5) in Giants Stadium this Saturday. To appease all the Brady-haters and lovers - and members of Congress - who are highly interested in this game, the NFL Network is agreeing to let this one matchup be seen outside of its borders. Now football fans who are not also subscribers of the channel will have access to the same feed via CBS or NBC. (Yes, this does also mean we’ll be getting three times the Bryant Gumbel as well.)
Oh - and in case you are still having trouble figuring out how to see the game, know that it is on starting @ 8pm EST.

Tom Brady Outscores ‘High School Musical 2’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Sports, Cable, ESPN-HD, Ratings,
Monday night’s game between the undefeated New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens earned stellar numbers for ESPN—and record numbers for cable overall.
The Monday Night Football game drew 17.5 million viewers. This total, just like the score of the game (27-24), narrowly beat the record set by High School Musical 2 for the most-watched cable telecast ever. (The musical’s August premiere rounded up an impressive 17.2 million for The Disney Channel.)
Assuming QB Tom Brady brings his undefeated team all the way to this year’s championship game, we can expect insane viewing numbers and advertising dollars for FOX.
The Super Bowl, featuring Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is scheduled for Feb. 3rd.
