If you happen to enjoy ridiculous television shows that can pointlessly tread water for three entire seasons, we have some bad news. Prison Break is no more. Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly has decided that Prison Break's fourth season will be its last. This will no doubt come as a shock to the solitary homeless man who didn't think that Prison Break got cancelled in 2006 anyway. So Prison Break may be dying, but let's focus on all the positive things it gave us - like Wentworth Miller and that hour a week where nothing good was on TV so we could read books instead.
For a few weeks the corner of the world that still cares about Janet Jackson has been asking one question - what's wrong with the woman? Janet Jackson has been cancelling swathes of concerts on her current Rock Witchu tour because of a mystery illness that suddenly took hold five minutes before a show in Canada. The fact alone that nobody would reveal the illness was a cause for consternation - but now we know. Janet Jackson has been suffering from migraine-associated vertigo. We're sure that Janet Jackson's fans are all completely sympathetic to this diagnosis - don't forget that symptoms of vertigo include nausea, vomiting and difficulty standing - all of which will be familiar to anyone who witnessed Janet Jackson pop a nork out during the Super Bowl halftime show of 2004.
The world is split into three: one group hates Denise Richards, one group likes Denise Richards and the other group doesn't care if Denise Richards lives or dies. Sadly, none of these groups watch Denise Richards: It's Complicated. The group that likes her won't watch it because they don't like how she's portrayed in it, the group that hates her won't watch it because they hate her and the group that doesn't care won't watch it because ultimately they're quite sensible. And that's why Denise Richards: It's Complicated is getting cancelled. Personally we blame the title. Denise Richards: It's Complicated is both vague and untrue. Denise Richards Exceeds The Most Negative Aspects Of Her Reputation While Simultaneously Doing Her Best To Prove The Opposite would have got the viewers flooding in. But, no, nobody ever listens to us.
Everybody seems to be getting in on the comic book-to-movie adaptation thing, with easily one of the most anticipated being that of Watchmen. While normally this would be greeted with trepidation and a slight amount of fear, the sheer quality of the source material, combined with the fact that the film is supposed to actually be, y'know - good - has people sweating around the groin, awaiting next year's release. That is, unless Fox have their way and ban the film from ever coming out. Oh, we're not kidding here - that's what they're trying to do in the latest of legal battles that shows just how the company is actually forged from Satan's testicles themselves. There's evil, then there's Fox evil.
The planned Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson Bond-theme has been cancelled because, according to Ronson, when it comes to her current mental state, Amy can’t find a quantum of solace anywhere. However, a spokesman for Winehouse has said that this isn’t the case and that the real reason is to do with a clash of interests regarding the development of the song, of which Amy had "other ideas". Is Amy telling the truth, or is it Mark? Who knows? As far as that argument goes, it’s probably best to live and let die. It’s a terrible shame for all things Bond as, when it comes to musical collaborations, nobody does it better than Winehouse and Ronson.
It's not a good time to be a fan of giant-haired widdly-woo nostalgic Spandex rock right now.
Not only do you have to live with the fact that you've wasted a great big portion of your life endorsing the very worst type of music ever invented, but now Van Halen have postponed a load more reunion dates as well.
This is the second batch of shows that Van Halen have ditched this month so far, and it's all because Eddie Van Halen is currently being tested for a mystery medical condition. Sounds serious. We just hope that whatever the condition is, it's important enough to deny thousands of fans the chance to pay an inflated amount of money to see a gang of old men play music that all sounds like the theme-tune to Biker Mice From Mars.
Sometimes it can seem like the hardest thing in the world to get four old men to play bad-haired, leotard-wearing widdly-widdly-woo hard rock music together.
That's certainly the case with Van Halen. After more messily aborted reunions than you could ever wish for, Van Halen finally hit the road in September to play their bad-haired, leotard-wearing widdly-widdly-woo hard rock music to as many middle-aged bad-haired nostalgia freaks as the possibly could.
Except it couldn't last and, with crushing inevitability, the rest of the Van Halen reunion tour has been scrapped; either forever or until the band feels the need to demonstrate its innate lack of personal and organisation skills in public again.
For all the bluster yesterday that the Oscars would go on regardless of a continued writers' strike, it now looks like actors have got nowhere to get hammered afterwards.
The Vanity Fair Oscars party - probably the most prestigious Oscar night party held by a magazine specifically for actresses to get trollied on free booze because they're not as good as Cate Blanchett - has been cancelled.
It's a blow to the credibility of the Oscars and no mistake - with no Vanity Fair party to go to, Elizabeth Hurley's got nowhere to topple out of in front of some cameramen even though she's never been able to make a film that hasn't made us want to stab ourselves in the neck. Won't someone think of Elizabeth Hurley?
