NEW YORK -- Jennifer Lopez, gaol of becoming a judge , has died on the bargaining table.

An Idol source told People magazine that Lopez's demands "got out of hand," and
"Fox had just had enough."

She WAS among the top choice to replace famed judges Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is negotiating to be a judge, in the Cowell vein. Tyler himself
proclaimed working on Idol is "a work in progress."

DATA HARD: Do you think in My Super Ex Friend Girlfriend, had the director kept the focus of the conflict, on you and Uma (instead of bringing in Anna Farris weirdly,) the film would have ended better and been a box office hit??

LUKE WILSON: Agreed...100% and (I) said so several times, but no one pays attention to my suggestions,why (DON'T THEY LISTEN)?

DATA HARD: Thanks,Luke.

JEFF GOLDBLUM LEAVES L&O:CI
Vincent D. to return.

USA's Law & Order: Criminal Intent producers are talking about " a number of scenarios, including a full-season pickup,
two-season pickup and a partial season pickup until settling on the
idea for an eight-episode order for what would be the show's final
season."

Only if the economics work, the producer will make the decision in 72 hrs.
and the network wants the show's original
star, Vincent D'Onofrio.

Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum, quickly became bored with show
last season, "has decided not to return,"as his contract options
expired last months with a 30 days extension and a agency switch.

Goldblum is now doing a play in London called Prisoner of
Second Avenue (by Neil Simon) in the Old Vic.

Universal Music Group (UMG) Enters into Long-Term Agreement with 19 Entertainment For 'American Idol'

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 19 Entertainment and Simon Fuller, creator of 'American Idol,' television's biggest entertainment program for the last nine seasons and one of the most globally recognized entertainment brands, and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, today announced a long-term strategic alliance to increase the development, distribution and marketing of 'American Idol's' musical artists. The announcement was made today by Doug Morris, Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, Lucian Grainge, Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, and by Simon Fuller on behalf of 19 Entertainment.


As part of this multi-year agreement, UMG's Interscope Geffen A&M will market, promote and distribute albums globally from 'American Idol's' finalists and winning contestants across a broad array of retail and new media platforms. Recently, 'American Idol' kicked-off auditions for its milestone 10th season as the excitement and renewed interest in the show resulted in over 26,000 hopefuls coming out for their shot at the coveted Idol crown in Nashville and Milwaukee. Upcoming auditions will be held in Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey and California.


Mr. Fuller comments: "With Idol celebrating our 10th season I wanted to inject some new power and weight behind our brand. We have been quietly delivering hits relentlessly for 9 seasons and Lucian Grainge and Jimmy Iovine's (Chairman, Interscope Geffen A&M) ambition, commitment, and determination to push the boundaries and go even further with Idol was very compelling. It is exciting to have the world's biggest show partnered with the world's biggest music company."


"We like delivering hits and new artists," stated Mr. Grainge. "UMG and 'American Idol' is the right combination at the right time. Pairing the renowned expertise of Simon and Jimmy in developing and marketing musical talent creates a truly winning combination that will allow 'Idol's' artists to realize their fullest potential."


Since its debut in 2001, 'America Idol' has been responsible for selling more music than any other TV show in history, with over 100 million units in North America alone and over 120 million songs on iTunes.

A GIRL GONE WILD LOSES $5 MILLION VERDICT TO JOE FRANCIS.

ST. LOUIS, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A St. Louis jury found in favor of Girls Gone Wild this week in a $5 million dollar lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed that Girls Gone Wild had "damaged her reputation" by distributing a video of her dancing provocatively in a St. Louis bar. Tamara Favazza claimed she had not given her consent to appear on camera, but the St. Louis Circuit Court jury of 12 people found in favor of Girls Gone Wild.


The woman's lawyers had demanded at least $5 million in damages, even asking for the $1.5 million they estimated the company has made on the video in which Tamara Favazza appeared.


David A. Dalton II, lawyer for Girls Gone Wild, said, "The jury listened to the evidence and made the right decision. They found that Tamara Favazza had given her consent by entering a bar she knew was hosting a Girls Gone Wild event, and then dancing provocatively for the Girls Gone Wild cameras."


Girls Gone Wild CEO, Joe Francis, said, "This is just one more example of someone trying to make a quick buck off Girls Gone Wild by making false accusations against our company. At the same time, this is also another great example of someone who got their ass kicked in a court room by a smart judge and a smart jury who saw the truth. Girls Gone Wild will always vigorously defend ourselves against anyone who makes such outrageous and defamatory allegations. Girls Gone Wild has NEVER lost a jury trial."


Francis also says, "Girls Gone Wild is a fun lifestyle brand. Each year tens of thousands of girls contact our website, our monthly magazine and our live event camera crews for the chance to be part of Girls Gone Wild, as viewers witness each week on our HDNet reality series, "Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America." The series' grand finale, featuring the crowning of Girls Gone Wild's 2010 Hottest Girl in America, airs this Thursday, July 29 at 10:00 p.m. PT/1:00 a.m. ET (Friday, July 30).
