Dan Rather Wants His MTV? In the largest media conversion ever, Viacom and CBS will combine into a single entertainment company. The deal, valued at $37 billion, will put the likes of Dan Rather in the same group as MTV. Cable channels like MTV and Nickelodeon, plus Paramount Pictures movie studio, hundreds of radio stations and several theme parks were all a part of the deal. But this merger complicates things a little for UPN. FCC regulations clearly state two networks can't be owned by the same company. Since UPN was also part of the deal, rumor has it execs might just disband UPN altogether.
Britney's Breasts?
Teen sensation Britney Spears has given us gossipers reason to talk lately. First - you heard it here - female impersonator Bobby Stephens won the Britney Spears look-alike contest. Then, Britney, herself, came under fire. Reporters noticed the tell-tale scars of breast implants while Britney was changing during a show. It's her tender age that has caused such a ruckus. When asked about these scars, she merely said, "That's too personal a question to answer." Sometimes you get your answer without getting your answer. And if those are implants, she should be showing those off instead of her stomach.
But there's one hot commodity that's not afraid to say, "Silicone Free." Jennifer Love Hewitt. She's been completely upfront about her figure. And at age 11, she had blossomed from little girl to woman. When reporters started pummeling her with the breast implant question, she bought a "Silicone Free" T-shirt. But when Party of Five co-star Scott Wolf saw the T, he covered her up with his jacket. He sure didn't seem to mind when producers had her prancing around in little tank tops on the show.
Divorce Is Final Ed O'Neill doesn't believe in love and marriage. Not when that love and marriage involves him and Fox anyway. The former Married With Children star isn't bitter over the network canceling his show after 11 years. It was the way Fox divorced itself from Al Bundy and Co. that has Ed fumed. "I wanted to do a final episode. I'd even contacted the original writers to work on it," he said. "I had this idea that Al wins the lottery and, as the whole family is celebrating, a tornado whips them into the air a la Wizard of Oz." But execs blew off the whipping tornado idea. So when Fox approached Ed to do a reunion show, he had another idea for an episode. He said the show could open with the Bundy family gathered at Al's funeral. Guess he's happy saving people a buck or two with those 1-800-COLLECT commercials.
