Celebrity Cooking Showdown Canned
After weeks of promotion, NBC wanted Celebrity Cooking Showdown to be a weeklong event. But it was pulled off the air after only three nights. The problem: tiny ratings. Who really wanted to see Patti LaBelle and a group of D-list celebrities cooking? Very boring. But what was the network thinking premiering the show against a new episode of 24 and then putting it up against American Idol for its second night? That's enough to doom any show.
Quick Hits
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise finally had their baby named Suri. It's Hebrew for princess. DE Ace Young was voted off American Idol, something that was long overdue for a guy that was all charm and no talent. DE Next week is the start of May sweeps, one of the year's most important months for measuring ratings. All T.V. shows will be new and more outrageous than ever to drive up ratings. Enjoy all the new shows because after sweeps the summer will be filled with repeats.
