- Dreamworks has acquired the life rights to Martin Luther King Jr and will release a biopic about Dr. King’s life produced by Steven Spielberg. I realize “acquiring life rights” is a standard industry term, but it always sounds like a studio literally bought the person’s corpse so they can begin having sex with it in Oscar-baiting biopic form.
- Lifetime will air a new comedy called “Sherri” starring View co-host Sherri Shepherd. The show will just be unedited footage of anything Shepherd has ever said on The View.
- Woody Allen dropped his American Apparel lawsuit for $5 million. He’ll receive $2 million in cash, and $3 million in unspecified “favors.”
- Fox has officially canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Now we may never get to see the additional spin-off series, Term-s of Endearment.
- The rapper Dolla was shot and killed in an L.A. mall. A record executive commented, “There was a time when we would’ve been thrilled by this, but I’m sure people are just gonna illegally download his music now, making it a true tragedy.”
