Jennifer Chung: Breakout Artist

Jennifer Chung is a college student who has a great voice and is currently a college student in sunny California.

With almost 5 MILLION STREAMS of her rendition of "No One" by Alicia Keys, she is definitely a breakout star on the internet now.

My thoughts, however, is her voice can get a little "tense" when hitting the higher notes.




Definitely, not the super full Christina Aguilera-voice, but appreciate her not singing AROUND every single note like Xtina does.

Alexa Chung Show gets dropped from MTV

After a couple years of experimenting with British TV sensation and model, Alexa Chung, MTV has decided to drop her show.

After attending in person and also watching a few shows here, I noticed that the audience is super young and yet her humor is super not.

Conceptually, the idea of having a platform for celebrities to pimp their latest projects is very important for MTV as it is a tastemaker in today's pop culture.

Here's to hoping they get it right the next time around!

Press release:

"MTV announced it will not bring back its live afternoon talk show It's On with Alexa Chung after the second season finale airs on December 17, cites Variety. The show came back on October 19 for a second season in a new 30m format at 330p after originally debuting last June as an hour-long show. MTV emphasized it will retain a studio-based, live pop culture show, featuring music and interviews and a retooled program will premiere in January. In the meantime, MTV will air repeats and specials in the time period. As for British TV personality Chung, her contract with MTV expires early next year and, to date, there are no plans for her to continue an on-air role with the network."

Tyrus Thomas to be traded to Knicks?

Why do the New York Knicks love trading players with the Bulls?

Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry, Eddie Robinson.

What's Lamer than Comcast Buying NBC? Fancast Xfinity TV

If you haven't noticed, Comcast is finally acquiring a majority stake (51%) in NBC/Universal from GE, because GE decided to buy back the 20% stake owned by Vivendi SA, valued at $5.8 billion.

It's really too bad, since GE's way of thinking about all their businesses applied to NBC/Universal, which made them a very efficient company. One may argue that such corporate structure comes at the price of creativity (re: 4th ranked network still), however, decisions are made soundly and with good reason, unlike other "old" media companies.

But what I can't stand is the fact that Comcast is launching something off of their Wanna-be Hulu service called Fancast.

Chances are you didn't know about Fancast, and that's for good reason.

Because Hulu is a much better user experience and has deals with all the major networks now. Plus it's based in L.A., not in Philadelphia.

Press release:
"Comcast will likely launch its online video service under the new name of Fancast Xfinity TV, though the new service may use the simplified name of Xfinity. Originally the service was named OnDemand Online at its initial announcement earlier this year. Comcast already secured Xfinity.com and several similar websites as well as the Twitter feed at Twitter.com/Xfinity in addition to having a commercial ready to promote the new product. "

Nicole Richie to be in a new ABC Sitcom

This is got to be up there in terms of "random" but when your latest run of sitcoms have all fallen on their face, you got to start grasping for straws.

Apparently, Nicole Richie will star in a new sitcom set to air on ABC.

Where is her ex-best bud, Paris Hilton, been? Word is that her appearance fees have dropped significantly in favor of the Kardashians as they are more relevant to today's fan. Less excessive, I guess, in these hard economic times.

Press release:
"ABC has a new 30m comedy in development with Nicole Richie (The Simple Life) as its star. Sony Pictures Television is producing the sitcom where Richie plays a professional woman with complicated family relationships and is trying to sort out her life. Daisy Gardner (Californication) is penning the script while Warren Bell will executive produce and oversee the pilot script. Jamie Tarses will also executive produce. Richie is credited with creating the idea so she will also produce; Michael Baum of Impression Entertainment will additionally produce. "
