Downloadable American Idol Performances
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Music, Prime Time, FOX, American Idol, Internet, News,
Beginning as early as today, you may be able to download both video and audio performances of your favorite contestants from the official American Idol website. Audio performances will be 99 cents, and you can view a complete video performance for a cool $1.99. This is good news for fans, who will understandably regret any missed episodes this close to the finale.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be American Idol without some drama: the show says nothing is certain yet, and the downloadable episodes could be delayed or even scrapped altogether. Of course, what producer would ever miss a chance to make some extra money? We’re betting this will receive a green light.

A Sequel To ‘Prison Break’ On Your Mobile Phone
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Prison Break, News,
Television is increasingly utilizing other technologies to involve viewers in their favorite shows, and mobile phones are one of the hottest items to do that.
In association with Toyota, FOX will air Prison Break: Proof of Innocence on Sprint mobile phones. The viewer will be subjected to a Toyota commercial, then be able to enjoy a 10-minute mini episode. The new show will have completely new characters and storylines. If you don’t use Sprint as your cell phone carrier, you’ll be able to view the episodes on Toyota’s website.
Really, what will they think of next? TV is already seeping into iPods, the Internet, and cell phones…obviously, the medium is preparing for a world takeover. That’s okay with us!

Rod Stewart To Appear On American Idol
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Talent,
If ya think he’s sexy, and ya want his body… then don’t miss American Idol this week! Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and all-around musical sensation Rod Stewart will be the guest musician on the popular reality show this week, continuing the show’s tradition of including stars their demographic has never heard of (Just ask your mom, kids! She’ll explain.)
Rod Stewart has produced so many great hits, perhaps it will impossible for the American Idol contestants to give lackluster performances this time around. We hope. This season has had rather blah performances so far, but maybe this musical deity, armed with his Great American Songbook collection, will change that. Here’s hoping!

Queen Says: American Idol Is Fake!
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Music, Reality, FOX, American Idol, News,
The highlight of this week’s American Idol was the apparent friction between teen heartthrob Ace Young and Queen member Brian May. The friction appeared so confrontational, in fact, that many viewers let Brian May know of their displeasure. And now Brian May is letting the world know that he’s not gonna take it any more.
Brian wrote in his personal blog that the apparent Ace-hatred never happened the way it was shown - it was a result of ‘creative editing.’ He criticizes the way American Idol producers seize anything the least bit negative and blow it out of proportion…while apparently enjoying their evil deeds. Brian also stressed that he and Ace got along great, and that Ace did an excellent job with the song.
Gee, who would have ever guessed that reality TV isn’t…real?

American Idol 5: The Final 12 - Week 5
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
I remembered hearing a long time ago that Baywatch star David Hasselhoff would always try to channel his idol Freddie Mercury in his songs. But when I actually heard Hasselhoff do his ‘channeling’, I cringed with embarrassment. I must admit—that same wince came rushing back when I read that the contestants of American Idol would be taking their turn with the songs of Queen. It’s not like we’re watching Rock Star: INXS here. Would the show produce the cringe-inducing moments that I had feared? Read on!

20th Century Fox Says No Further Development
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Prime Time, Cable, FOX, Cancellations,
20th Century Fox Television, the studio behind the series, has thrown in the towel for Arrested Development. The studio announced that AD creator Mitch Hurwitz is ready to call it quits. For three seasons, Arrested Development was the darling of critics and award givers, but failed to be a ratings’ winner, or even a serious contender. In February, Fox, the network, not the studio, burned off the series’ final four episodes in a suicide time-slot, opposite the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.
For a while, Arrested Development had hoped to find a new home on Showtime, but a deal to bring AD to cable was arrested in its development. With Mitch Hurwitz’s decision to move on, the Showtime deal is DOA.
