Things are not going well for Paris Hilton. Her reality show The World According to Paris has not been renewed for another season.

Poor Paris.

‘Jersey Shore’ Cancelled After Season 5

The day has finally come – MTV’s Jersey Shore will be cancelled. After the filming of Season 5, it will hopefully be the end of Snooki’s reign of terror.

TMZ reports the reason for the cancellation is MTV big wigs wants a fresh cast of characters for the network.

There is some suggestion that the Jersey Shore franchise will continue, except with a brand new cast of characters, which will hopefully be cheaper.

However, we may have spoken too soon regarding the departure of Snooki. Evidentially Snooki, The Situation, JWOWW, all have spinoff deals with MTV.

DAMN!

MTV Cancels Controversial ‘Skins’

MTV has canceled the controversial teen drama ‘Skins,’ reports CTV.

The show won’t be back for another season, so says the network, because it “didn’t connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped,” MTV spokesman Nathaniel Brown says.

The short-lived show received heavy criticism for its racy nature and use of drug, alcohol and sex that were prominent on the show. Many groups felt the young actors violated child pornography laws and advertisers began pulling their commercials from the series.

‘Skins’ premiered in January as an American version of the British hit, but an initial audience of 3.3 million viewers sank to 1.2 million viewers for the season finale.

Another one bites the dust – will you miss it? I never got into the show, but I heard that the American version was never as good as the British series.

Fox Cancels John Walsh and ‘America’s Most Wanted’

Fox is cancelling its long-running crime-stopping series ’America’s Most Wanted,’ reports Entertainment Weekly.

The series, which profiles men and women wanted by law enforcement agencies, has been on the air since 1988 and consistently wins its time period. A few years ago it announced the capture of its 1,000th criminal. The show is legendary – but it doesn’t seem to be enough.

The show will still have a presence on Fox next season, with the network airing four quarterly two-hour specials, but the Saturday night slots will otherwise be replaced by repeats. Really Fox?

Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly told reporters on Monday that the show was no longer profitable. “John Walsh has been an important guy at network for a long time,” Reilly says. “It’s been an important show for us historically. We haven’t made money on the show in quite awhile. It wasn’t particularly viable. We wanted to keep the franchise alive. John is having conversations about ways to keep the series alive.”

“We’re going to be in originals across our schedule,” Reilly says. “We want to be able to play repeats to give the audience a chance to catch up and that’s one of the few places we can do that.”

The show averaged 5 million viewers this season and a 1.7 rating in the adult demo, which is still pretty impressive for a Saturday night. The show was perfect for those boring Saturday nights, so I don’t know what many middle-aged parents will do now. Will you miss the show?

‘Real Housewives of D.C.’ Cancelled

Apparently real housewives in D.C. aren’t very interesting. Washington Post reports that Bravo officially pulled the plug on the ‘The Real Housewives of D.C.’ Thursday.

Andy Cohen of Bravo said, “We had an amazing season and we told stories that were unique to any other in the franchise. I wish all our DC Wives the best and hope to work with them again in another capacity.”

Is this really a great loss for TV? Probably not. In fact the world may be better off if the whole franchise is cancelled. Here’s hoping!

Charlie Sheen Gets $5 Million Pay Day from HBO

Charlie Sheen is not taking the news that “Two and a Half Men” would be cancelled well. He is so pissed that he claims to be moving to HBO.

In a message to RadarOnline.com, Sheen called the decision “crazy” and “sad” and said that he was moving to HBO to do his own half-hour show titled ‘Sheen’s Corner.’ The deal would reportedly get him $5 million for an episode.

Sheen reportedly said, “I’m close to securing a deal with HBO for a 10 show guarantee. It will be epic, all types of guests, and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!” Radar notes that HBO could not be contacted for comment.

So is Charlie bull sh**ing or do you think HBO is a real alternative?

Glenn Close NOT Signed on for Susan Boyle Biopic!

Perez Hilton is reporting that contrary to what British papers have been reporting all weekend, Glenn Close is definitely not working on a Susan Boyle Biopic.

Why? Because no such movie is in the works!!

Close’s reps were a little slow to jump on the denial train but they eventually got there, claiming that the whole thing is “complete rubbish.”

Thank God! Both of the ladies are very talented individuals but that sounds like the most boring movie ever not shot. Maybe next time, SuBo!

Justin Bieber Cancels Television Appearance

Justin Bieber cancelled his appearance on German game show Wetten Dass Saturday night after the stunt act preceding him went horribly wrong.

Radar Online is reporting that stunt man Samuel Koch was supposed to jump over a moving car using special kangaroo suspension shoes, but instead hit the vehicle and crashed to the ground. Broadcast was immediately halted and Koch was rushed to the hospital.

WTF? What kind of game show is this, Germany?!

With Koch in “extremely critical condition,” Bieber asked his fans to pray for the injured man, adding “some things are more important than a show.”

Knowing how clinically insane the Bieberheads are, we wouldn’t be surprised if the ailing Koch got some nasty letters from fans. Sad! Hopefully we’re wrong on that hypothesis.

Our thoughts are with Samuel Koch!

Will Arnett Turns to Twitter to Save Show

Things are not looking good for Will Arnett’s newest show, Running Wilde.

Perez Hilton reports that Arnett, along with the show’s stars, have taken to popular microblogging site Twitter in order to support a grassroots effort to keep the Fox show on the air.

The show follows Arnett’s character, a narcissistic billionaire, as he tries to win back his high school love.

Fans started a Twitter petition last week, but things are not looking good at the network. Though 13 episodes of the show have been ordered, Fox has elected to show back-to-back episodes of Raising Hope instead of a new Wilde episode.

Geez! First you drop Arrested Development, then you turn down Conan, and now you’re thinking of cancelling Running Wilde? What’s wrong with you, Fox? Too busy running your pseudo-funny cash cow, Glee, into the ground? We saw that awkward lesbian scene last episode and it made NO FREAKIN’ SENSE in context or otherwise!

Click here to sign the petition and save Running Wilde from cancellation.

Cancelled. James Cancelled.

The newest James Bond movie, James Bond 23, has officially been cancelled, Perez Hilton reports.

MGM Studios is going bankrupt and cannot afford to make the movie. It was to be directed by Sam Mendes and once again star Daniel Craig as the badass title role.

MGM is apparently looking for a new buyer to finance the film, but until then they will be canceling scheduled productions, or at the very least postponing them indefinitely. The Hobbit still appears to be on the go-ahead, though.

Bilbo sure dodged that bullet!

Could Jimmy Fallon Be Cancelled?

Posted on andPOP:

Could Jimmy Fallon be the next Conan O’Brien? Rumors are circulating that the “Late Night” host could be next on the chopping block at NBC due to sagging ratings, according to the New York Post.

Nielsen ratings have indicated that viewership for Fallon’s late-night talk show has dropped 20 per cent since this time last year. Additionally Fallon is being killed by his competition at CBS and ABC.

“NBC executives are concerned about the ratings drop and are doing all they can to promote Fallon,” one insider told the Post. “They’re even dragging him out of bed in the morning to do the Today show to promote his own show.”

However NBC still maintain that they support Jimmy Fallon and are pleased with the show’s performance. A spokesperson for the network said, “We are huge Jimmy Fallon fans and could not be happier with his performance. Fallon continues to win night after night in the key demographic.”

The world premiere of the highly anticipated Iron Man 2, which was supposed to take place in the UK, has been cancelled and moved to Los Angeles due to the ongoing air travel issues, reports NME.com.

Big-named actors from the action sequel such as Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson were all due to fly to London for the event, which was supposed to be held yesterday (Monday, April 19).

Unfortunately, because of the restricted air travel due to ash clouds from the eruption of Iceland’s volcano Eyjafjallajökull, that was no longer possible.

“Due to the continuing air travel uncertainty, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have taken the decision to move the Iron Man 2 world premiere and junket to Los Angeles,” said Paramount in a statement.

Miley Cyrus’ film The Last Song, also due to have a London premiere, also faced problems due to the volcanic ash.

The cheque for Corey Haim’s funeral has been cancelled by celebrity memorabilia company Startifacts, reports TMZ.

Startifacts initially committed $20,000 to help cover some of Haim’s funeral expenses. However after emails with Haim’s brother-in-law Mark Alexander, the company learned that the money was being put towards Haim’s mom’s cancer treatment and the funeral home covered Corey’s funeral expenses.

A rep for Judy Haim says that Judy’s cancer treatments were covered and there has been some type of miscommunication. Nevertheless Starifacts is not sending another cheque.

Lady Gaga Explains Why She Passed Out

She is the hardest working woman in show business, but that stress level seems to be taking its toll on Lady Gaga. Days after crumpling to the floor during a New Zealand concert, Lady Gaga took to the airwaves to explain what happened.

“I was so jet lagged,” she told the Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Friday. “I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I’d rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.”

This is not the first time Gaga has had health problems that interfered with her performance. In January she cancelled several shows after suffering from exhaustion.

Guns N’ Roses Cancel Show – Causes Riot

Guns N’ Roses fans are certainly a dedicated bunch and they don’t like to be disappointed. Axl Rose and his crew cancelled a show in Sao Paula, Brazil on Saturday (March 13) which resulted in a riot, according to chartattack.com.

The crowd apparently waited until 3am but were then told GNR would not be performing according to the New York Post.

“The audience got angry and started to mount the stage, and fight and destroy everything,” a witness told the newspaper. “It was wild. There were fights everywhere, on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, outside the club. Crazy. I guess the free drinks didn’t help.”

So why was the show cancelled? Apparently on Saturday someone in the audience tried to bottle Axl. This understandably infuriated the singer and he called the show to a halt.

“Where’s the little fuck over here?” Rose reportedly said, according to the website. “C’mon, coward. You wanna fuck up the show for everybody? ‘Cause I’ve got no problem — I will leave. We will all leave. You wanna play games? You can fuck yourself or we can have some fun. You guys wanna have fun? Then I don’t need no little fucking pussies like we had the other night at the club.”

To make matters worse GNR’s Sunday (March 14) show was cancelled after the stage collapsed in Rio De Janeiro. Although there were initial reports that someone died in the collapse, later reports confirmed injuries were minor.

What a sad day for Hannah Montana fans (and happy day for Hannah Montana)

The infamous blonde wing and cowboy boots are being hung up. Perhaps for good.

Hannah Montana first premiered on The Disney Channel in March 2006.
