Lady Gaga and Kanye West shocked fans on Thursday when they announced they would be canceling their much-anticipated Fame Kills tour without explanation.

But on Friday at an event in New York City, Gaga, who didn’t get into specifics about the cancellation, did say West would be taking some time off and she would be hitting the road on her own.

“Well, actually, it was a mutual decision to cancel the tour,” she told MTV News. “But I’m not taking any time off, so I’ll be leaving just a week later than I was supposed to on my own solo tour. IT will be the same places. So I will see you guys there. I’m putting out my re-release as well – The Fame Monster on November 24.”

After six seasons, Comedy Central has pulled the plug on police comedy Reno 911!

“Reno 911! was cancelled at 1:30 p.m. today,” co-creator Thomas Lennon, who also starred in the show, wrote Friday on his Twitter. “Won’t be wearing the shorts again. At some point today, I’ll be back to funny tweets.”

The plug is about to be pulled on “Guiding Light.”  After 72 years on radio and television the soap-opera “Guiding Light” will come to an end on Sept. 18, 2009, CBS announced on Wednesday, according to E! Online.

The soap-opera helped launch the careers of many Hollywood stars including “Hero’s” Hayden Panettiere, James Earl Jones, Brittany Snow, Kevin Bacon, Mira Sorvino, Christopher Walkin and more.

The show originally started as a 15-minute radio show aired on NBC Radio and had its premiere on Jan. 25, 1937.

“Guiding Light” moved into television in June of 1952 when CBS Television aired the soap-opera simultaneously with the radio show, and later aired as a full hour in Nov. of 1977.

Courtney Cox’s show “Dirt” is getting buried, reports TV Guide.

“It just got cancelled,” she told the crowd at a recent benefit.

Though the show was popular in its first season, the second season was cut short by the writer’s strike, and FX has not picked it up for a third.

The former “Friends” star seemed optimistic about the future with her husband and partner, David Arquette. “We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now,” she said. “We’ll producing more stuff together, for sure.”

“Men in Trees” is officially getting the axe.

Series creator Jenny Bicks confirmed the news with “TV Guide” on Sunday. Bicks thanked all the fans who supported the show, and that she was “really proud of the work we did on ‘MIT’.”

At the very least, fans will get a fairy tale ending. In preparation for the show’s possible demise, an alternate ending to the season finale was shot, to round out the show.

As for why “Trees” fell, Bicks blames scheduling. “I wish the show had not been moved six times and put onto two long hiatuses. No show could survive that.”

The last batch of episodes begin May 28.

Groundbreaking lesbian drama “The L Word” will not continue after its sixth season, Yahoo! News reports.

Additional bad news for fans: the season will be only eight episodes long.

Creator Ilene Chaiken felt that the smaller order was all that was needed, and that the show’s legacy would live on after it is no longer on the air. “This is by no means the end of ‘The L Word. The brand and the social network community, OurChart.com, will continue to live and be a destination for lesbians everywhere and a lasting tribute to what ‘The L Word’ has accomplished.”

The final season will air early in 2009. It is one of Showtime’s longest running series.

Avril Lavigne won’t be audition dancers for her upcoming tour today, after the Dancers’ Alliance called for a boycott.

An email that was sent to dancers scheduled to audition revealed that Lavigne was planning to pay her dancers below industry standards.

“The tour’s weekly rate is $1,250.00 inclusive of agency fee…after agency commission that would be $1,125.00 to you before taxes,” the email outlined, as posted on PerezHilton.com. “Management has offered no additional perdiem and no plus agency fee, which is standard in our industry.”

Via MySpace blog, the Dancers’ Alliance urged its members to show up to the audition – “not to participate, but to stand outside of the door encouraging any dancer who shows up NOT TO STEP INTO THE AUDITION.”

At 10:30 last night, Lavigne “opened up a new conversation with the agencies.”

The Golden Globes will be a lot less bright this year, as NBC has officially cancelled the award show due to the Writer’s Guild of America strike.

NBC had previously decided to go through with the ceremony without writers, but last week the Screen Actor’s Guild threw their weight behind the writers. SAG forbade any members of their guild to attend the ceremonies. And without the red carpet and the glamour, there was nothing left to save the award show.

Not to worry, though: the winners will be announced via a televised press conference at 9 p.m. on Sunday, reports TheEnvelope.com. The night will also include a tour of the hot Hollywood parties, and clips of the nominated shows.

“Instant Star” will take its final curtain call at the end of Season 4.

Stephen Stohn, one of the show’s executive producers, made the announcement on the CTV.ca message boards, saying that it was the best move for the show. “In the case of Instant Star, the resolution of the plot lines at the end of the final episode of Season 4 is such that it is completely possible to end the series gracefully at that point, and leave on a high note with everyone wanting more but feeling very satisfied with the series as a whole. There will be no Season 5. We have let the cast and crew know this. We have let them know how enormously proud we are of them for having been part of the creation of one of the most innovative and original TV series in television history. And they have responded with thanks and congratulations-not many series get even four seasons, and Instant Star has been an enormous success in over 120 countries around the world for exactly that!”

Stohn also mentioned that it is “almost certain” that “Degrassi” will go on for an eighth season.

Lauren Conrad admitted to People yesterday that, just like Heidi Montag’s nose, The Hills is a little fake.

Conrad said that some scenes from the show are re-enacted, but defended it, saying it is for continuity purposes. “Basically what they’re doing is taking our lives and telling a story,” she told the mag. “They’re telling exactly what happened.”

One particular glaring evidence of re-shoots was “nail-polish-gate,” where Lauren went on a date with a model while wearing nail polish, and then apparently came right home and called another guy over – but her nail polish was gone. Lauren says that though her phone conversation was re-enacted, they said the same things the night before.

“I basically had to go and call [Brody] again, have the exact same conversation on camera. I mean, it’s not lying to anyone, it’s telling what really happened, but it’s just the way they film reality shows.”

She also admitted that MTV did orchestrate meetings between her and ex-BFF Montag, but only to show the real life drama. “But they only set that up because it was happening off-camera. We were getting into these situations where we were running into [Heidi and Spencer], and [MTV] kept missing them.”

Conrad also addressed the rumour that she and her roommate don’t live in the same apartment anymore. She admitted they do shoot outside the old building that they no longer live in, because people had begun stalking them, and their home is left private that way.

The Hills season finale aired last night, so that means MTV may have missed even more drama: TMZ reported yesterday that the Montag/Spencer Pratt wedding has been officially declared “dunzo.”
