Prince Charles: "Xtina hew? I dont know ha"

He admitted that he had 'no idea' who pop singer Christina Aguilera was. But when it came to the classics, Prince Charles was on safer ground. Politely asking what was currently playing to the station's seven million listeners, he was told it was U.S. superstar Christina Aguilera - a revelation which left the prince utterly blank faced. Downstairs the prince and his wife met some of the network's well-known presenters including Capital FM Breakfast show hosts Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon. Berry said the prince was 'incredibly' polite and apologised for keeping him at the station when he and his partner had been up at 4.30am. 'I couldn't believe how concerned he was, what a top man,' he said. 'Admittedly he knew nothing about the kind of music we played and, as I am so polite, I wasn't going to ask him about the Big Top 40 number one Clean Bandit and whether he liked it. 'But I do have it on good authority, from a very good contact of mine, that William and Kate always have Capital on in the background when they are at home with little Prince George, so we do have a royal seal of approval.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2556779/Prince-Charles-admits-no-idea-Christine-Aguilera-admits-helped-Kate-choose-wedding-music-takes-tour-radio-station.html

Pysch season 8 is the final season

The current eighth season will be Psych‘s last.

The long-running USA Network series will conclude Wednesday, March 26. The finale will be followed by a one hour live Pysch after show featuring a Q&A with the cast and show creator, Steve Franks.

Though the producers did not know about the cancellation until recently, they had an inkling this might be coming, sources says. So the final episode therefore feels like a suitable finale, with topics addressed like Juliet (Maggie Lawson) and Shawn’s (James Roday) relationship.

Psych is one of the rare cable dramas to surpass 100 episodes. Its legacy includes a two-hour musical, a 10-city college tour and five appearances at Comic-Con. “Psych has made an indelible imprint on the television landscape, with a unique brand of comedy,” said Chris McCumber, president of USA Network. “The final season celebrates the iconic characters that have made this show so beloved, and will be an exclamation point on the series’ incredible run. And while the series will wrap in March somehow I don’t believe we’ve heard the last of Shawn and Gus.”

Note that last sentence. While there is nothing in development at USA expanding Psych into another production, I’m told McCumber’s words were chosen carefully and that the network would like to perhaps find a way to bring the characters back someday (perhaps in a stand-alone movie, like USA did with Burn Notice).

In 2013, Psych averaged 4.2 million viewers. Below is a message from stars James Roday and Dule Hill about the final season:

Damn it I just learned about this show through Netflix. Sad that this is the last season.

Cher Says Her Label Doesn't 'Care' About Her Latest Album

Quote:

Cher says her record label "hasn't got a great deal of interest in my CD" and that the "decision makers" at the company "don't seem to care that much." Cher released her most recent album, "Closer to the Truth," last September on Warner Bros. Records. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the diva's highest charting solo album ever. Cher took to Twitter on Thursday, February 6, to gripe about her label, but noted that "not all" of the folks at the company are unsupportive, adding that "there (are) hard working adorable" people there, too. Quote: Just read mean TILAM review😥 The video had nothing 2 do with me.I was told it would only be shown in gay bars.It’s true WB’s hasn’t got a Quote: Great Deal of Interest In My CD. Not ALL,THERE R HARD WORKING ADORABLE PPL.,But Decision Makers Don’t Seem 2CareThat Much.

American Idol might be getting the axe soon

American Idol is "winding down" and in a "transition" period, according to 21st Century Fox president Chase Carey. The talent show, which has dominated the TV landscape for over a decade, will no longer be the main driving force for the Fox network.

"We know American Idol is winding down," said Carey in a conference call detailing the company's latest quarterly results, adding that ratings have "fallen faster than we hoped".

American Idol is currently airing its 13th season in the US. Harry Connick Jr, Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban are the judging panel and it is still hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

However, the show's ratings are no longer as dominant as they once were. The days when it was ranked No.1 as Fox's most-watched show for eight successive years and when it achieved an audience of 36 million for the finale in 2006 are long gone. The current season launched in January with 15.19 million viewers and a 18-49 demo of 4.7.

Alongside the continuing disappointing performance of Fox's other music talent show, Simon Cowell's X Factor USA, ad revenues have been damaged. Both talent shows are expected to be altered and possibly reduced in size and expense when they next return.

The Michael J Fox Show Gets CANCELLED

The outlook is not good for The Michael J. Fox Show. NBC has pulled the remaining episodes of the Thursday sitcom from its lineup, effectively canceling the struggling comedy just a few weeks after shutting down production on time slot neighbor Sean Saves the World. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the show will be replaced by Hollywood Game Night starting Feb. 27, as first reported by Vulture. The one-hour show will air at 9 p.m. Fifteen of The Michael J. Fox Show's 22-episode order have aired on Thursdays. Production has wrapped on all 22 episodes, with NBC unclear where -- or if -- the remaining seven episodes will be broadcast. NBC picked up the Michael J. Fox Show with a straight to series order for 22 episodes following a multiple network bidding war in August 2012. It marked the Family Ties, Spin City and Back to the Future alum's return to series television following his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease.

Missy Elloitt Talks absense from music

It’s been nine years since Missy Elliott released her last album, and you’ll have to keep waiting. The hip-hop icon explains why she’s taking her time to release new music. In a video chat with Yahoo!’s “The Yo Show,” Missy discussed her lengthy hiatus from the music industry. “When I create something, it’s gotta be special and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy,” said the 42-year-old rapper. “I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100 percent and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.” In September 2012, Missy dropped the Timbaland-produced singles “9th Inning” and “Triple Threat,” but her seventh album Block Party has yet to see a release. But writer’s block is not to blame. “Just being inspired by things is what I’m grabbing for because music is different now,” she explained. “Not to say that it’s bad, it’s just different now, so I’m just trying to make sure that what I give is 100 percent because I know that expectations is high from my fans and it’s high of myself.” She did, however, reassure fans that she is planning a comeback. “It’s coming. I just ain’t telling nobody when.” In the meantime, she has collaborated with her longtime friend Faith Evans on her upcoming album Incomparable.

Forbes: Demand for Bruno's Tour Booms,Miley's Tour Struggles

After a season of buildup and two weeks of feverish hype, Super Bowl XLVIII was never really a game. From the first snap, the Broncos seemed disoriented and over-matched. By halftime the game was over, and the only thing to look forward to was the halftime show. Along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruno Mars delivered a half-time show for the ages that is dominating Monday water-cooler conversations across the country. In addition to bringing a bit of excitement to the otherwise lame Super Bowl, the performance may go down as one of the savviest marketing campaigns in the history of music. Not at all coincidentally, Bruno Mars tickets to his upcoming tour went on sale this morning with Super Bowl buzz still ringing in over 100 million ears across the country. As a result, the market for Bruno Mars tickets is on fire. Since this morning, the average price for his Moonshine Jungle Tour is up $150 to an average price of $500. While there are some tickets left on the primary market for select shows, many are already sold out. Ticketmaster also seem to be struggling to keep with demand, and had to switch from their interactive seating maps for most events, including Bruno Mars Madison Square Garden tickets. 2014 saw some impressive uses of big events for self-promotion. Miley Cyrus in particular stood out for her provocative performance at MTVs Video Music Awards. With an audience of 10 million tuning in, it served her purpose to perfection and was a shotgun graduation ceremony from Hanna Montana to Miley Cyrus. In part becuase of the VMAs, Miley Cyrus tickets for her upcoming tour are a hot item. Despite the hype engine that Miley has built, however, she’s still not sold out for many of the dates on her Bangerz tour. Mars’ Super Bowl showcase generated a reported 2.2 million tweets, and Twitter has not stopped this morning, with a legion of existing and newly-discovered fans clamoring for tickets to the tour, which kicks off in full in the U.S. on May 23rd. The price for tickets on the primary market ranges from $49-$100 for most shows. Bigger city shows like Madison Square Garden have prices that range from $70 to $181. For shows at big venues like Madison Square and TD Garden, the average prices on the secondary market is north of $600 with the cheapest tickets going for $150, or approximately double the face price. At those prices, Mars upcoming tour ranks amongst the most expensive in the country this summer, ahead of One Direction tickets and Jason Aldean tickets, which are two of the highest prices for an American tours this spring and summer. As for Cyrus, the average price for her first two shows of the Bangerz tour are down 6% this week and the cheapest ticket for the second show in Anaheim can be had for $33. While the buzz generated from Miley’s hype seems to be wearing off a bit just as her tour gets set to start, it’s unlikely Bruno Mars will suffer a similar downturn. Whether it was his opening drum solo at the Super Bowl half-time show or his recent Grammy win for best pop vocal album for Unorthodox Jukebox, it’s clear that Mars is a real talent, a gifted performer and here to stay.

FOX Super Bowl (6:33- 10PM) - Live 34.4/67 111.3 FOX New Girl (10:23-10:54PM) 11.1/ 25.8 Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' performance on Sunday night attracted the largest audience in the history of the Super Bowl, attracting 115.3 million viewers, Fox announced Monday, citing Nielsen data. That figure surpasses the prior record of 114 million set by Madonna two years ago and the 110.8 million who tuned in to see Beyonce last year.Mars sang "Give it Away" with the Peppers, executed James Brown dance moves and Police riffs and closed with his hit ballad "Just the Way You Are" at halftime of a blowout won by the Seattle Seahawks, 43-8. The game had an average viewing audience of 111.5 million viewers, the largest in history. The final number was significantly higher than than 98.88 million viewers reported in the overnight ratings from Nielsen that measure the top 56 markets. It initially appeared Super Bowl XLVIII would be the fifth most-watched in history. The one musician who may well have received the most exposure for new music is Prince, who guest-starred on "New Girl" immediately after the game. The episode, watched by nearly 26 million viewers, included a performance of his new song "PretzelBodyLogic." http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/super-bowl-2014/5893896/bruno-mars-super-bowl-halftime-show-ratings And everyone thought he would suck. Reviews are solid and sales for his tour are selling out. Sometimes you don't even need all the hype and the buzz. You just have to come in with pure talent.

Miley Cyrus' MTV Unplugged (What you DIDN't see)

Quote:

The only solo song Miley performed a second time was her rap single "Bangerz." Her hair was sticking up in the back the first time, so that might be the reason for the do-over. When told to wear her cowboy hat for continuity, she wryly joked, "I was on a TV show for four years, I don't know anything about continuity." The Miley-Madonna butt grab? That was choreographed. When Madonna hit the stage for their mashup of "Don't Tell Me"/"We Can't Stop," Miley gave Madonna's behind a good squeeze. They shot the duet twice and butt-grabbing was had at the exact same moment. Before the second take, Madonna called out, "We're just gonna have to be even nastier." And it was. The moment just might be this decade's version of the Britney-Madonna kiss. While waiting for cameras to shift, Miley sang Spice Girls. She gave a little impromptu performance of the rap verse from the British girl group's song "Wannabe." She said MTV would never air that part, and rightly so, as licensing would be an expensive nightmare to pull off in a day. Despite popular demand on Twitter, Miley decided not to perform "Someone Else" She made the decision when suffering from what she said was a norovirus. The singer had a huffy back and forth with her mom about how she was far too nervous to perform it. Oh, mom moments.
