Daily Tv News - September 29th 2010

I haven't posted a news update in a few days so I wanted to catch people up with what's been happening. It's been super busy news wise today and over the last few days. Let's just hope right in there:

The big one the yesterday was that we've already had our first causality of the season. Fox wasted no time in bringing axe down on Lone Star, you can read my re-action post here.

In keeping with the Lone Star theme; the Daily Beast compiled a list of 10 quickly axed shows and you can enjoy that list here.

Another biggie today was the news that three captains from the Discovery Channels deadliest catch have quit. Sig Hansen and the Hillstrand brothers have decided to call it quits with the show. A few weeks ago the news dropped that the Discovery Channel was suing a group from the show.

Not 4 days after the premiere of Sister Wives, the feds have decided to investigate the family for bigamy. Police in Lehi, Utah. told People they were looking into the family's situation before the show's Sunday premiere, and confirmed that publicity surrounding the series prompted the legal curiosity.

Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin claims that Facebook doesn't bring us closer but actually pushes us apart. Enjoy the video where he speaks about it.



Mel Gibson's former girlfriend and baby momma Oksana Grigorieva is going to make her first interview on Oprah's couch. 60 Minutes tried to get the interview but she turned them down to appear on Oprah.

Burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese has signed on to appear as a guest star on CSI: Las Vegas.

On Tuesday night Glee got some outstanding ratings, almost 14 million people watched the Glee club sing Britney Spears greatest hits. It was the most watched episode of Glee in its history.

Another great piece of news is that George Lucas has announced that he'll be re-releasing the Star Wars movies in 3D. The movies will start with Phantom Menace in 2012 and he'll release one movie each year after that. After seeing Avatar and what could be done with 3D technology now he said he just had to do that to the classics.

I know not too many people enjoy Dane Cook's comedy, but I had to post this video he does of Michael Bolton.



Jersey Shore fans will be pleased to read that Snooki has just signed a book deal, she's actually the 4th "star" of the series to get a book deal. The book will be released in January by Gallery Books. The question is, while it be a popup book or a coloring book?

Here's the first look of the new judge lineup from American Idol.




Another first look at the Cylons from an upcoming episode of Caprica. It premieres October 5th on Space.




HRG(Jack Coleman) from Heroes is going to be joining The Office as a government official. The timing of that appearance is still being worked out.

A big rumor has come out of the Glee camp that for their Super Bowl episode they're planning to do either Bruce Springsteen or Michael Jackson music. I think the King of Pop would work better for this show. I don't see those kids idolizing The Boss over Michael.

Rachel Bilson from The OC and fresh off an appearance on How I Met Your Mother has just signed on for a pilot for NBC. The romantic comedy is titled Ghost Angeles.

NBC has also picked up a Jack Black comedy called My Life As An Experiment based on the book of the same title.

A couple of former Lost stars casting notes:
Maggie Grace(Shannon) has signed up for a role in the final Twilight Movie, she'll be playing Irina.
Josh Holloway(Sawyer) has put his name next to the next Mission Impossible movie which has yet to be officially named.

Dexter which premiered on Sunday night for Showtime had its biggest premiere ratings so far in the series' history. Dexter got 1.8 million viewers and they got another 500,000 when it repeated again at 11:00 PM.

Some CMA Award Performers were announced today. Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. The 44th Annual awards air November 10th on ABC.

What to Wear's premiere date has been announced, the 13 episode season on TLC will begin October 19th.

Syfy network aired the original movie Sharktopus on the weekend and somehow scored 2.5 million viewers. Wow.




Glee is releasing another album, this time it will be Rocky Horror Picture Show themed. Plus they'll be airing a Rocky Horror episode October 26th.

USA Network, which is currently putting out some great shows I might add, have just renewed Pysch, Royal Pains and White Collar.

HIlary Duff has just signed on as a guest on Community. Producers say that she'll be playing a "Mean Girls" type of role for an upcoming November sweeps episode.

CBS apparently didn't learn a lesson from Bleep my Dad Says, they're working on yet another Twitter feed based show. This time they're working on @shhdonttellsteve Apparently the feed is from "Steves Roommate" and is actually very amusing, I checked it out after reading this story. That doesn't mean it'll make a great show, I really enjoyed the Twitter feed that's on the air on Thursdays at 8:30 and I REALLY hate the show.

TBS has released the logo from the upcoming Conan show. Enjoy!



Last Comic Standing judge Greg Giraldo died of a drug overdose.

Now that one show has been canceled blogs are wondering what the next show to go will be. The frontrunners right now are: The Whole Truth, My Generation and Running Wilde.

And finally the last piece of news I'm sharing today. Jersey Shore which for some reason plays in Japan, they must think Americans are pretty awesome after that. But the story is, Jersey Shore in Japan is called, get this: Macaroni Rascals.


That's all I've got for today, hope you enjoyed it.
