Rosie has a new feud!


Rosie got a taste of her own medicine. Bill O'Reilly claimed that Rosie should be fired from ABC. Of course she got defensive and compared him to a character in George Orwell's "1984." It is no surprise that she is getting a lot of backlash for all the comments she has made on "The View" in the past but this time she may have gone a little to far. Rosie and Joy Behar made a comment about a sex scandal that O'Reilly was allegedly involved in and were told to can it from the show because if they did Bill would go after every host on the popular day time talk show.

Monday night television


Tonight is a good night to watch television. For all of you fans of dancing, the new season of "Dancing With The Stars" premieres tonight at 8:00 on ABC. The new season features stars like Joey Fatone, John Ratzenberg, Heather Mills, and speed skating star Apollo Anton Ohno. It is such a diverse group of dancers, but I think there is an unfair advantage with having Joey Fatone on the show. He was in one of the top selling boy bands of all time, as a former member of Nsync he learned many many complicated dance routines and was forced to practice all the time. He has the motivation and determination to dance well, lets see if all of his experience will help him. It would be very funny if he got kicked off in the first episode and Heather Mills who is dancing with a prosthetic leg comes out the winner. Don't forget tonight is a new episode of "The Black Donnelly's" tune in to see what what the four Donelly brothers will get themselves into tonight.

Grey's star gets a huge paycheck

Ellen Pompeo gets a huge paycheck! As the cast of Grey's Anatomy are in negotiations over their salary, it was reported today that Meredith Grey (Pompeo) will receive the most money. She is set to earn $200,000 per episode while others will get close to $125,000. The salary negotiations have been going on for a month and are still not through. Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, and Patrick Dempsey's salaries are still not settled. After the tabloids got wind of Heigl's negotiations they turned it sparked a lot of rumors about the condition of the cast and show. They made it seem like she was under appreciated and may not continue on the show, these rumors are false and her salary is definitely going to increase. The stars of the hit ABC show are under a seven year contract and will abide by them. It is one of the most talked about shows on television and it is very unlikely that it will fall apart.

"Knights" is cancelled

The once popular show "The Knights of Prosperity" was cancelled. ABC has pulled the plug on the show which was produced by David Letterman. The show was popular because it had appearances with Mick Jagger, The show was originally going to be titled "Lets Rob Mick Jagger." Once Mick Jagger went on tour with The Rolling Stones it became very difficult to get him to tape anything. The production staff flew to New Zealand where the Stones were on tour in order to get Jagger to film his scenes. With Mick Jagger not being able to settle down to a film schedule the series started to suffer. They were trying to get other people to make cameo appearances but it was not enough. ABC did not think the show would survive so they pulled it.
