Vivid Girl Savanna Samson to Play "Porn Liz" on 30 Rock!

What a coup for Vivid Entertainment to have Vivid Girl Savanna Samson appear as the Porno alter-ego of Tina Fey's Liz Lemon on NBC's 30 Rock. Samson said, My entire experience in working with '30 Rock' was fun from beginning to end.  It's really an honor to play the porn version of the Tina Fey character as I've admired her for years on 'Saturday Night Live' and I love what she's done with this series.  Her latest movie for Vivid is " I was a Teenage MILF"!

Will Howard Stern Move to Internet Radio After His Sirius Contract Expires?

Howard Stern's Sirius contract expires in 2010, and anyone who is familiar with Howard knows he loves to hold his cards close to the vest, especially when it comes to his future. There is speculation that Stern may opt to start a broadcast internet site on a per subscriber basis.  Sure he could make a ton of money going out on his own without FCC rules.....but what about all those folks that listen to him while driving. Podcasts are okay for some types of broadcasts, but for Howard, I really like listening to him live- or when he was on FM radio- a same day, tape-delay broadcast

WWE's Vince McMahon Tells of Plans to Launch 24 Hour Wrestling Network on Basic Cable

WWE CEO Vince McMahon told the Los Angeles Times that he wants to launch a 24 hour wrestling network on basic cable. McMahon's WWE owns virtually all of the television and closed circuit broadcasts of every major wrestling organization that ever exicted- Except Jeff Jarrett's Total NonStop Wrestling (TNA). Though basic cable is the hardest tier of cable to get place on- I wouldn't count McMahon out by any means.

Gospel's Voices of Glory! Michael II, Avery and Nadia Cole - Are They the 2009 America's Got Talent's Early 2009 Favorites?

I am going to go out on a limb, after viewing the YouTube preview of this years edition of "America's Got Talent", and say that Voices of Glory tug at the judges and in-studio audience heartstrings with their unbelievable story ( They started singing "Songs of Zion" after their mother was comatose and seriously injured for 8 months after automobile crash - But will they be able to go all the way?  Time will tell. But remember Simon Cowell is executive producer...and anything could happen!! After viewing some of their YouTube video's- I wonder if they will go more mainstream, or stay with their Gospel style?

Just a sidenote that there are a few "Voices of Glory" gospel groups on the internet and YouTube- and it remains to be seen if some trademark issues come up with the name.

Kate Goesselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 on TLC made a published remark about Octomom Nadya Suleman. On a Dr.Phil show in Feb, Kate Gosselin had questioned the ability of Suleman, who is unmarried, to deal with her total of 14 children, including eight she had in January according to the Mercury News.
