COMEDY CENTRAL TO CREATE THE COMEDY AWARDS FOR MTV NETWORS.
From PR Newswire
They will tape in New York City for "the first-ever multi-network, multi-platform, annual event dedicated to honoring and celebrating the world of comedy, it was announced today by Doug Herzog, president, MTV Networks Entertainment Group. A night for comedy of all kinds, "The Comedy Awards" will be taped at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, March 26 and will premiere on Sunday, April 10, 2011, simultaneously across MTV Networks' COMEDY CENTRAL, Spike TV, TV Land, VH1 and Nick At Nite."

Comedy elite including James Burrows, Billy Crystal, Will Ferrell, Whoopi Goldberg, Brad Grey, Seth MacFarlane, Adam McKay, Jimmy Miller, Jay Roach, Ray Romano, Rory Rosegarten, Phil Rosenthal and many more are among the first to join "The Comedy Awards" Board of Directors which will be responsible for selecting the nominees. The winners will be chosen by an invitation-only voting body comprised of 500-1000 members from the comedy community -- including writers, producers, performers and directors. The event will also feature several special awards that will include the voice of the fans through online voting at the event site thecomedyawards.com.

In conjunction with the launch of "The Comedy Awards," the MTVN Entertainment Group has joined forces with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) to establish The American Comedy Fund. Without a union or other protection, many comedians face unique challenges to succeed and survive. The fund will provide much-needed financial assistance, health benefits and other resources for comedians across the country during times of need, crisis or transition. The American Comedy Fund will be administered by EIF in collaboration with the Motion Picture & Television Fund and The Actors Fund.

"The Comedy Awards" will pay homage to the genre and honor the year's best comedy actors, films, television series and digital content. The event will celebrate the talented writers, directors and performers who have literally changed the laugh track of our lives: the pioneering legends who pushed boundaries; the TV shows that we rushed home to watch;; the movies that are indelibly etched into our collective pop culture memory and the stand-up comedians that make us think while we laugh.

"The Comedy Awards" will take its place among MTV Networks' rich history of successful tent-pole events, such as MTV's "Video Music Awards," Nickelodeon's "Kids' Choice Awards" and the COMEDY CENTRAL Emmy-nominated Roast franchise.

Don Mischer Productions' Don Mischer and Charlie Haykel, alongside Casey Patterson, SVP, event production, MTVN Entertainment Group, are the executive producers. Elizabeth Porter and Jonas Larsen are the executives in charge for the network.

NPH CALLED FAMED SOAP ACTOR "A D-BAG!"

Eric Braeden, 69, the CBS soap actor "canceled a cameo appearance" on How I met Your Mother, causing Barney to awesomely refer to him as used condom.

"The actor, (Robin's dad), agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed,
saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough," NPH said through his twitter account, "to more than 1 million followers. We've recast with Ray Wise, a
fantastic actor who makes any part 'substantial.' Super excited to
welcome him to the family!"

However Braeden stated, he left abruptly when he found out his part had been cut "just before the taping, which he deemed unreasonable as he is currently recovering
from hip surgery."

He was so exhausted from recovery that, "I was not about appear on a show for two lines, because that's what it amounted to." Braeden whent so far as to call the openly gay acTOR was being "overdramatic."

"His choice of words bothered me. It seems to me like a young
whippersnapper, having seen himself on a few covers, who's received a
few awards, is now suddenly suffering from the first signs of hubris,"
Braeden explained.

After Harris was briefed on Braeden's recent surgery, he maned up and apologized
via Twitter, to end the feud before futher escalatation.

"Now I feel bad for the D-bag comment. Don't know the guy personally,"
Harris typed. "I'm just fiercely protective of our show."

THOSE JERSEY SHORE BASTARDS AND VILE TEEN MOMS GIVES MTV HUGE NUMBERS,NOT SEEN IN 10 YEARS.


NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV, a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B), concluded 2010 with a 16% year-over-year ratings gain (P12-34), the network's largest annual increase since 1999, and with its fourth consecutive quarter of growth. For the final quarter of 2010, MTV's ratings grew 24% over the same period last year as the network posted gains across all key day parts.

The year-long ratings gains were fueled by MTV's diverse programming slate of hit reality series, new scripted comedy and live award telecasts. Excluding sports, MTV nabbed all 20 of the top 20 cable telecasts of the year among P12-34, topped by the "2010 Video Music Awards." Further, MTV secured eight of the top 20 original cable series of the year, including the top two spots with "Jersey Shore" (#1) and "Teen Mom" (#2). In addition, MTV's sibling network MTV2, which has the highest concentration of young males on TV, had its best year ever, up 4% over 2009.

MTV's dramatic growth extended to the online space. With more than 57 million unique visitors according to comScore Media Metrix numbers (November 2010), the MTV Music Group experienced 200% year-over-year growth, making it the #1 destination for music.

"In 2010 we've seen enormous ratings growth as a result of the process we began almost two years ago to reinvent MTV for a new generation," said MTV General Manager Stephen Friedman. "We continue to rally the organization around a new brand filter that is clearly gaining traction with the millennial audience as we see broad-based ratings gains across our programming lineup. We look forward to a strong 2011 when we'll further diversify our lineup with new scripted series 'Skins' and 'Teen Wolf' alongside returning hits like 'Jersey Shore' and 'Teen Mom 2."

ADDITIONAL KEY LINEAR HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2010 INCLUDE:

"Jersey Shore," MTV's most-watched series ever, more than doubled (+119%) its season one average (5.7 vs 2.6)
Season two of "Teen Mom" saw ratings increase 57% over season one's average (3.6 vs 2.3)
The "2010 VMAS" delivered a 10.0 rating (P12-34) and 11.4 million total viewers, making it the #1 cable telecast of the year.
MTV's original comedy series "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" culminated with season-high ratings of 1.3 (P12-34) and 1.3 million total viewers, up 20% from the season average

THE BIGGEST LOSERS ARE NOW UNIONIZED WINNERS.
-From the LA Times.

Producers and crew members of the reality TV series “The Biggest Loser” have settled a labor dispute, ending a high-profile strike that disrupted production of the NBC reality series.

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees reached an agreement this weekend with production companies Reveille, 3Ball and 25/7 to end a nearly two-week strike, said two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak about the settlement.

The parties subsequently released a statement confirming the development. "The agreement is a positive step forward for the crew of the 'Biggest Loser,' especially in the area of health benefits,'' said Mike Miller, vice president of the IA. "We are pleased to see them go back to work."

Lee Rierson, managing director and head of business operations for Reveille said the sides had reached a "fair agreement" while "managing to avoid significant disruption to the production, and are happy to see our entire crew working together again."

About 50 crew members unanimously approved the agreement Monday morning. Under the deal, the crew members on the show will be eligible to count their work hours toward their health insurance benefits, which had been a primary goal of the union. Starting next summer, IATSE members must work 400 hours every six months in order to secure or retain their health insurance coverage. The current minimum is 300 hours.

Crew members walked off the job Nov. 8, saying producers had refused to have their work represented under an IATSE contract. The Directors Guild of America and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists already had contracts covering their workers on the show.

Production of the series resumed last week when producers recruited replacement workers, but it was disrupted by pickets organized by IATSE at the Calabasas ranch studio where "The Biggest Loser" is produced. Trainers on the show refused to cross picket lines and, with the host, pledged to auction themselves on EBay to raise money for the strikers

CO-CO'S MESSAGE TO NBC: "GO TO HELL!" AND HE MAY HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN HIS WISH.

From The wrap.com

Ratings are the best revenge. And if these numbers hold, "Conan" had a very sweet debut for TBS, served cold.

In his first night back on the air in over nine months, Conan O’Brien bested David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and -- most importantly for O'Brien and his followers -- Jay Leno.

Conan’s new TBS show scored a 2.8 rating among Nielsen’s 56 metered markets. In contrast, Leno earned a 2.7 rating, Letterman drew 2.5, and Kimmel received a 1.7.

Against his Comedy Central competition, the ginger-haired comic also fared well. "The Daily Show" earned a 1.5 rating, while "The Colbert Report" nabbed a 1.1 rating.

The real challenge will be maintaining the lead over the next few weeks and months. An executive from a rival show said that he expects O'Brien's numbers will dip once the curiosity factor wanes.

Moreover, with the exception of Stewart, they do not represent head-to-head matchups, as Leno and Letterman both kick off their show at 11:30 p.m., while O'Brien begins his 30 minutes earlier.

TIA CARERE'S TIME IN JURY DUTY FINALLY PAYS OFF-WILL BE A STYLISH,SADISTIC VILLAIN OF NEW HAWAII 5-0.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser CONFIRMED actress Tia Carrere is "reinventing the famous Hawaii Five-0 villain Wo Fat." The Hawaii-born actress and Grammy-winning singer stated:

"And it doesn't matter that the original Wo Fat was a man -- so was Kono, now played by actress Grace Park." In Jack Lord's Five-0, "Wo Fat was played by Khigh Dhiegh." He played Steve McGarrett's Communist Nemesis, through the show's entire 12 year run.

Carrere, "had expressed interest" in the CBS reboot "earlier in the year." Since she lost out on the Kono part,based on age issues- she moved on other shows,like Syfi's Warehouse 13.

She intends her Wo Fat to BE clad in "a Versace leather suit with Christian Dior sunglasses with sharp nails." Cha-Cha continued: "She would be a dragon lady- but sadistic, absolutely. She would have so much fun.He had a perfect tone of menace."

Exec Producer Peter Lenkov had seriously discussed the role with Cassandra- since they last worked together in notable bomb Jury Duty with '90s star Pauly Shore.

She's finishing the "upcoming You May Not Kiss the Bride and the part of Rell Sunn in Wave Dancer." Carrere relishes " the idea of being bad." Her most memorable role, is the violently classy,slut Juno Skinner- "in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film True Lies."

"I would rather play the villain," the ex-Relic Hunter cooed. "It's more fun to be able to be that bad."

-The writer/actress almost become a crackhead.

Actress Carrie Fisher "admitted...to taking cocaine on the set of The Empire Strikes Back." She even revealed she "didn't even like the
drug- but was intent on getting high."

Fisher (now in her early fifties) stated "her life had been defined by addiction,
with stints in psychiatric hospitals and rehab clinics -- even the emergency
room with an overdose." Fisher said the coke was ingested "in the ice planet" Hoth scenes, Fisher told Yahoo News.

Fisher reiterates: "I didn't even like coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high," she said while vacationing in Sydney for her stand-up comedy show,entitled Wishful Drinking.

John Belushi of the The Blues Brothers fame, may have been the one to save her.He told her "that she had a problem," before his own death by drug overdose "in 1982."

"Slowly I realised I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my
choice in the matter," Fisher recalled. "If I'd been addicted to booze I'd be dead now, because you just go out and get it."


Fisher, a one-time reality TV judge- will not blame her family or celebrity B.S., for her drug use. "It's always been my responsibility," Leia concluded. "If it was Hollywood (to blame), then we'd all be dope addicts."
