NBC TO FUTHER F#@$ UP L & O: SVU
-Threathens to fire stars Christopher Meloni & Mariska Hargitay!
From Entertainment Weekly
They wouldn't dare.
Multiple sources are confirming that NBC is threatening to replace
Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on Law & Order: SVU if the actors
persist in their demands for more money.
Last week, NBC closed a deal with L&O boss Dick Wolf for an 11th
season of SVU -- which, at 10.5 million viewers, remains the Peacock's
No. 1 scripted show. That opened the door to a new round of
negotiations with the stars, whose $350K-per-episode contracts will
expire in May. Yet a source close to the matter said talks stalled
when the duo -- who, like in their previous negotiations, are banding
together -- attempted to go after back-end profits, a perk that's
almost never granted in the L&O universe (although exceptions were
made for Vincent D'Onofrio and Chris Noth).
As a result, NBC cautioned that it may be forced to replace the MVPs
-- a risky move considering how integral Hargitay and Meloni are to
the show. Many feel the Peacock won't make good on its threat (reps
for the network, studio and the actors would not comment for this
story). "I don't think in this environment, there's any chance they
could re-launch the show with both of them gone," says a high-ranking
exec at a rival network. "It's a horrible time to retool a show. They
already have to change the time-slot, because it's not going to be
airing at 10 pm next season." At the same time, a Peacock insider
says, "I can't imagine either actor walking away from over $7 million
a year."

WANDA BACK AT LARGE ON FOX.
-The sapphic comic to get Sat. late night show, as a test for a weeknight slot.
Broadcasting Cable.com has confirmed the show for Jan 2010 at 11pm. The hour program will ape Bill Maher's current HBO format,rather than do another Leno/Letterman retread.
The Idol network has cancelled- the Best of Mad TV, thereby putting ne'er do well, Spike Feresten on notice- to shape up or ship out. Fox was unmoved by his anemic performance, of his brief "trial run at 11."
The fourth network will limit its appeal to Saturdays for now, unless they find the "right talent" to reattempt a weeknight show, and network execs maybe leaning toward Sykes. Also, the inside sources claimed, the triple minority status of Sykes- gives Fox a chance to cultivate good will with two different audiences, normally shunned in late night.

RANT:WHY NOT MOVE SOAPS TO LATE NIGHT TV, TO BREAK THE JUGGER-
NAUT OF WHITE GUYS BEHIND DESKS?
Buzzer Blog and Extra reported that forgettable,but long running soap Guiding Light was being cancelled. I was thinking why not move the genre to 11 PM-2 AM on the CW,Fox and ABC to finally give the audience, some damn variety.
The producers can increase the pacing, so one plot point doesn't take 18 months to develop- to its climax. They could increase the sex and violence,because from Midnight to 6AM, there is relaxed FCC regs-since the kids are finally asleep.
This could help bored,comic overloaded male viewers or frisky ladies craving- a little romance at those hours. Instead of a another smirking,aging frat boy- whose not half as funny as he thinks he is (That means you Carson Daly!)
Finally, why are all these guys white and male? Have we learned nothing from the legend Arsenio Hall here in the Obama era??

CRUISER AND CAMERON DIAZ TO RENEW THEIR FATAL ATTRACTION
The two megastars are planning a serious re-teaming, their first since their charismatic mini-feud in Vanilla Sky. Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is about to do a Woody Allen movie, thereby breaking the three time winning streak of Scar Jo (Match Point,Scoop, Vicki Barcelona Christina) ending the mutual admiration society- among those artists.
Also, lesbian BFF Sam Ronson is pissed off about- footing the cost of her dates with increasingly broke lover, Lindsey Lohan. Her next movie about pregnancy called Labor Pains, is about to debut in July 2009 on ABC Family channel. The film had been planned for a theatrical release, but was pulled due to fear of a poisoned box office mirroring- last year's failed stripper thriller.
