Did FOX cancel the Glenn Beck Show because he is nuts or is he simply moving on with his next career goals?

[Apr. 9]

Fox News, along with Mercury Radio Arts, the company Glenn Beck founded, announced Thursday that The Glenn Beck Show on Fox News will be canceled later this year. Fox News has seen a 30 percent drop in ratings for the Glenn Beck Show amid accusations that Fox News has become an outlet for the Republican Party rather than an independent and unbiased news source, says NewStaar Media.

But celebrity newscaster Glenn Beck hasn’t quit just yet. He and Fox News still are on good terms. According to the Business Insider, Beck told Bill O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor that Fox still was the only cable outlet from which to offer cable news. Nevertheless, Beck said that times are changing and hinted that media must change with it.

Glenn Beck told Bill O’Reilly during a recent celebrity interview:

“We have to reach different audiences, we have to reach younger.”

“So now what? Well, its not enough for me to say, as a citizen, ‘You know what? You go out and help people. You do it.’ Its time for me to do that as well.”

According to GlennBeck.com, Beck’s production company, Mercury Radio Arts, will continue to work with Fox News on a new partnership where Beck will assist with development and production of a variety of television show productions for Fox News as well as other digital media holdings. No details were given on what the partnership might look like for Glenn Beck or Fox News.

Hulk Hogan and Little People reality TV series really about midget wrestling?

Hulk Hogan makes big wrestlers of little people in new reality TV series about midget wrestling?

[Apr. 9]

We know, we know. It sounds all wrong but celebrity athlete Hulk Hogan is at it again with a new reality television series tentatively named Micro Wrestling, reports RadarOnline. The show will highlight the backstage lives and training of little people in professional wrestling. Micro Wrestling currently is in production, and Hulk Hogan will be the man and mentor behind the big aspirations of these little athletes.

While Hogan is no stranger to reality television & he’s starred in Hogan Knows Best and Brooke Knows Best & the reality television show Micro Wrestling is a return to wrestling for the professional wrestling superstar.

RadarOnline.com reports:

The Hulk (a.k.a. Terry Bollea) will be the man behind the wrestlers: “He’s the guy who inspires, recruits, trains and mentors them. He’s been involved in every step — only this time it’s on a smaller scale,” his attorney David Houston tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“It will explore the fascinating world of wrestling on the scale of little people,” he adds. “It will show their extraordinary physical capabilities and the true strength of people of that stature.”

There is an established history for little people in sports. The Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA) “is a nonprofit organization created in 1985 to develop, promote, and provide quality amateur level athletic competition opportunities for dwarf athletes in the United States.”

Some have criticized Micro Wrestling as just another attempt by the green celebrity professional wrestler to capitalize on his own antics, as he was criticized for doing with reality television shows Hogan Knows Best and Brooke Knows Best, but Micro Wrestling may do a lot to bring attention to the quality sportsmanship and abilities of little people. Green celebrity Hogan still is suffering through a costly divorce from his ex-wife Linda.

Real Housewives of DC nixed, Real Housewives of NYC vajeweling?

Real Housewives Series News!

Real Housewives of DC nixed, Real Housewives of NYC now vajeweling for publicity?

[Apr. 8]

Bravo for smart PR! The Bravo Channel is shaking up the television cable lineup by nixing their lame Real Housewives of DC series and adding a new cast member to their Real Housewives of New York reality television series.

Cindy Barshop is the new name to know when it comes to watching reality television stars. It seems that she has landed a new gig on the wild show hosted by the ladies of NYC thanks to her interesting and… artistically innovative specialty service and luxury products industry?

According to the Stir:

[Cindy Barshop] was working in telecommunications for IBM when she learned about Epilight, a machine that uses light to permanently remove hair, and decided to open her first spa in New York City in 1998 to make the innovative service accessible to the masses (of rich New York ladies). Barshop now has nine stores across the country. They like it, they really like it.

The stores have done well for Barshop too, as she’s the breadwinner for her family of three — and apparently goes to the Hamptons from time to time. It probably didn’t hurt that she’s also named as the inventor of vajeweling, a fun and sparkly crystal application for decorating the vagina — which I’m pretty sure is just like the ever-popular vajazzling. Because, how did we ever live without vajeweling? Her spa also offers “vatoos,” pretty but temporary airbrushed designs for your sweet spot.

As for what happened to the DC housewives reality show that was supposed to feature the most provocative of Washingtonian women, it seems the viewing masses found the cast boring.

While the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Real Housewives of New York City, Real Housewives of Orange County, and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shows all did well, the Mid-Atlantic ladies fan base was less than interested in continuing to watch what the wealthy ladies were doing.

Japanese Tsunami dog reunited with owner after high seas adventure?

Japanese Tsunami Dog reunited with owner but more pets and their owners need help?

[Apr. 7]

Following the 9.0 earthquake in Japan, the highest ever recorded in the nation’s history, the tsunami that devastated Japan left at least one dog alive. Nicknamed Tsunami Dog, the Japanese tsunami dog located a couple of miles off the coast of Japan, floating atop a roof amid the debris of a home, has been reunited with its owner.

From USA Today:

The unidentified owner, a woman in her 50s, saw a TV news report about the Japan Coast Guard’s rescue Friday and went to the animal care center in Tomiya, Miyagi Prefecture, NHK TV says.

The Japanese tsunami dog was rescued by the Coast Guard, three weeks after the tsunami devastated Japan. The tsunami dog was found floating nearly two miles out to sea after the devastating tsunami struck Japan, killing 20,000 people. The reports say the dog, a mixed breed named “Ban” was reunited with its owner, an unidentified woman, age 50.

The Seattle Times notes:

Several weeks after Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami, a loose network of pet groups is working to provide many of the services for stranded and stressed animals that emergency services have been providing for people, including food, medicine and shelter.

Tsunami Dog is just one of the pets rescued following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Some people have questioned the resources used to find pets instead of people, The Seattle Times reports, but others have said that those people who have lost homes and livelihoods following the tsunami are grateful to have their pets, which help the people reduce anxiety as they care for those animals they love.
