I'm ready for a long-term relationship -- with 'Spartacus.' Could networks learn from Starz's early-renewal policy?

The revelation yesterday that Starz has renewed its upcoming big-budget action-adventure series Spartacus more than a month before the first season even premieres is surely strange news in today's skittish, canceled-before-you-launch television world. Just to break down the astounding move a bit more: Yes, we viewers have yet to see a single episode. (But, I mean, we have seen the above actor's chest and know that Lucy Lawless is in the cast, and those two things probably would have been enough for me to sign on!) And the network has yet to see ratings or response from advertisers. And it's

X Factor series one winner Steve Brookstein has claimed that the show force feeds viewers "bullc**p". Brookstein, who scored a number one in 2005 with a cover of 'Against All Odds', said that fans of the show were oblivious to how the programme works behind the scenes. "The X Factor is a controlled, well-oiled machine that is now going to conquer the USA. The fact it is just American Idol rebranded has totally been over looked," said the singer.

DVD Review: American Pie: The Book Of Love

Why I kept watching the American Pie series after the third film was beyond me. They all involved a member of the Stiffler family, and were all terrible. But for the first time since American Wedding, the series takes an upturn with a smaller, funnier film that only has a few truly dumb hiccups along the way.
The Book Of Love is the first film since the original that doesn’t follow a member of the Stiffler family, and for that it deserves some credit. The Stiflers are obnoxious characters and every single one of them is just doing a bad impression of Seann William Scott’s performance of the original. It’s like they exist in some weird universe where every member of the family acts the exact same way, which is something I don’t think anyone can really relate to. The focus this time is on Rob

Mariah Carey may not release her next studio album under Island Def Jam. Having been signed to the label since 2002, the wife of Nick Cannon reportedly has a rift with its boss L.A. Reid and is ready to sign a deal with another company.
According to That Grape Juice, the feud between Carey and Reid happens due to lukewarm sale of her latest studio installment "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". The record could only debut at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 200 with 168,000 units, a noticeable drop from her previous album's opening week of 463,000 copies.
On another news related to Mariah Carey, the singer will follow up her duet track with Westlife on 2000 song called "Against All Odds" with another collaborative project. "They're very exciting artists and I love them," she told the News of the World. "I want it to be the next single here and different to the rest of the world.

Against all odds and Diane Sawyer's bitter blinks, Rihanna will allegedly "tell all" on Thursday's episode of Good Morning America and on Friday's edition of 20/20 . In the meantime, let's bandy the finer journalistic points of this occasion: For instance, will Rihanna mockingly don a baby-blue sweater and bow-tie? Will she too make a misguided Shakespearean reference, claw at an ugly patch of brunette in Sawyer's hair, and exclaim, "Out, out, damn spot?" And lastly, will she dedicate her new single "Russian Roulette" to "all the ladies out there getting hunted like deer"? Preview after the jump.

N-Dubz star Tulisa has branded La Roux singer Elly Jackson a "tw*t" for comments she made about other acts in the record industry. The 21-year-old, who is currently putting the finishing touches to new N-Dubz album Against All Odds, criticised Jackson for her negative opinion on commercial urban music. "She basically said all women who do urban music and UK R&B dress too sexily, so when I heard that, I was insulted," she told Heat. "I'm not one to bitch. Even if I don't like someone, it's not my style to do that. Then I hear that she's dissing everyone and saying the music is crap. I mean, that's just rude. "Where was she brought up - in a barn?

Steve Brookstein has claimed that he doesn't mind that his music career has not been a commercial success. The first X Factor winner, who scored a number one single with a cover of 'Against All Odds' in 2004, also admitted that he struggled to adapt to the changes that winning the reality series brought to his life. "I didn't want to undergo the changes that were forced upon me when I won The X Factor but that fear of change only lead to even more change. As a person who doesn't enjoy change this was a nightmare," he wrote in a blog posting. "It's was like being on the boat at the end of The Truman Show or entering the Matrix. Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill will answer the question 'what is the Matrix?' and the blue pill, simply for life to carry on as before.
