ABC Cancels Ugly Betty.


ABC has just announced that they are canceling 'Ugly Betty' after four seasons, with plans to air a series finale in the spring.

In a statement released to the Live Feed, the network said, "We've mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty's final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell."

Cast and crew were reportedly made aware of the news this morning.

I really like this show and I DVR'ed it every week...but I could definitely tell they were having rating problems moving the show to different days and times a lot. I'm pretty sad about it lol =/

ABC Cancels Chris Brown On "Good Morning America"

ABC had a change of heart over the weekend and will not let R&B singer Chris Brown sing next week on “Good Morning America.” Lots of people were complaining and upset about him getting to perform on Good Morning America, especially after they canceled Adam Lambert’s scheduled performance for his questionable stage antics.

Chris has been pulled from the morning show altogether and he won’t get to sing and dance and promote his career. Chris will be on 20/20 though for “tell-all” interview.

Chris Brown To Interview w/ ABC in December But Adam Lambert Canceled??


Adam Lambert‘s AMA performance raised a few eyebrows. And, it got his invitation to appear the next morning on Good Morning America revoked.

While it’s true Lambert’s little act did cause 1,500 negative calls to pour into ABC, it hardly stands up to the 500,000 formal complaint calls over Janet Jackson’s ‘wardrobe malfunction’.

But. it was apparently enough for ABC to hide behind and cancel Lambert as a guest: or as they referred to him, an unpredictable guest. So when ABC announces they are going to interview (and promote) singer Chris Brown we shouldn’t be a bit surprised?

Are viewers just supposed to accept that after all? A guy who chooses to beat his girlfriend Rihanna while threatening her by saying, ‘‘Now I'm really going to kill you’" ??

How does this make sense? The absurdity of Lambert being dropped and Brown being embraced hasn’t been lost as an ABC source stated,

The network is giving a mixed message -- that it doesn't trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault.

But will audiences ignore this and still tune in?

We shall find out...my predictions are YES.

Brown’s taped interview with Robin Roberts will appear on ABC’s December 11th episode of 20/20.

There have been mixed reports as to whether the singer will sing anything from his new album Graffiti.

Adam Lambert: "I'm Not A Babysitter. I'm A Performer."

The backlash from Adam Lambert's performance at last Sunday's American Music Awards is still on, and the American Idol runner-up isn't giving any apologies.

In an interview with CBS' The Early Show, Adam admitted that he was carried away with his sexually-charged performance, which featured dancers in bondage, simulated oral sex, and the performer kissing a male keyboard player.

"I admit I did get carried away, but I don't see anything wrong with it," he said. "I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it."

He added that the more risque elements of his performance were not rehearsed, and vowed to clear these issues before staging future performances. However, he hinted at possible discrimination from networks and viewers, noting that in the same night, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Janet Jackson had similar elements in their numbers but weren't chided for it.

"If it had been a female pop performer doing my moves that were on the stage, I don't think there would be nearly as much of an outrage," he said. "I think it's because I'm a gay male."

He declined to give an apology on the show, adding that he did not consider the possibility of having many children watch the performance. His number, after all, can at nearly 11pm, closing the night's events. "I'm not a babysitter," he said. "I'm a performer."

Nonetheless, the controversy surrounding the performance undeniably helped push sales of his just-released record For Your Entertainment. Estimates suggest that the album should sell at least 225,000 copies when it debuts on next week's Billboard chart, which is in the same ballpark as first-week sales for Idol winner David Cook's first album.

As for last season's actual winner, Kris Allen, he shifted only 80,000 copies in his first week, and debuts at number 11 on the SoundScan charts, behind Justin Bieber and Norah Jones.

Beyonce is Yours On Thanksgiving Day! [VIDEO]



Too tired to move after inhaling your Thanksgiving dinner? Just watch Beyoncé burn some calories instead.

The diva's Turkey Day concert special, Beyonce: I Am…Yours promises to be a whole lot of fun.

While the one-hour ABC event mainly consists of footage from Beyoncé's ongoing I Am tour—in particular, her show at the Wynn Las Vegas—fans will also be privy to some behind-the-scenes action, including rehearsals, the artist otherwise known as Sasha Fierce kidding around with her crew backstage, and home video of the 28-year-old hitmaker preening for the camera when she was merely destiny's child.

So it's funny that the night's second act features a fellow who was riling all the single ladies into a frenzy long before Beyoncé ever sang into a hairbrush microphone... LOLLL
