Anytime that a show reaches ten seasons, rumors of it’s shelf life start regardless of whether or not people actually want it to end. Add to this the explosion of singing competitions as a genre as of late, and you basically have a mob mentality forming against the likes of “The X Factor” in Britain. […]
Have you heard the big “X Factor” USA news breaking now? If not, here it is: Fifth Harmony is going to be singing their way to “The Today Show” very soon. The girl group, who placed third on season 2, is the first artist from this past season to grace the NBC morning-show stage. (Emblem3 […]
As if there was ever any doubt whatsoever that Bryan Cranston in real life could not be any more different than his onscreen moniker of Walter White, perhaps this is it: The latest endeavor that the “Breaking Bad” star is doing in order to promote a cause that he has been involved with for some […]
With the likes of Tyler Perry, Charlie Sheen, and even George Lopez, cable networks have shown that they embrace what is an interesting new model: Test-airing ten episodes of a sitcom, and then renewing it for 90 more immediately depending on if it meets a certain ratings threshold.
