Marking Calendar !! TV Series Finales

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

May is here, and so, too, are the finales of our favorite shows. This month, the bulk of network programming signs off for the summer — and some of it, forever. Below is a list of finale dates.

As of right now, only one is definitely a series finale, although it’s likely several others also will be. The networks have their Upfront Presentations, where they announce the schedules for next year, the week of May 16. The fate of anything not already renewed or canceled will be announced then.

In the schedule below, I’ve noted what shows have been renewed and what ones are on the bubble. Of the ones that are unmarked, renewal is pretty much guaranteed for all of them; the networks simply haven’t made an announcement yet.

So check the list for your favorites, then sit back, relax and enjoy!

David Cook to Perform on ‘Idol’ Next Week (Exclusive) – Hollywood Reporter

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

 

 

The season 7 ‘American Idol’ winner will begin promoting his sophomore album by performing new single “The Last Goodbye.”

David Cook is headed back to American Idol. The Season 7 winner will take the stage on April 21, premiering his new single, “The Last Goodbye,” and officially launching the promotional cycle for his highly anticipated second album. (His 2008 self-titled debut on RCA sold more than 1 million copies.)

And it’s about time. Fans have waited nearly two years to hear new Cook tunes, and while his cover of Simple Minds’ “(Don’t You) Forget About Me” was a welcome arrival (thank Idol creator Simon Fuller, who campaigned to use the song as Season 10’s send-off number), it also felt like a temporary holdover. So what took Cook so long? Read on for Idol Worship’s exclusive chat with the fan favorite.
The Hollywood Reporter: Next week, you’re coming back to a new Idol – new set, new judges, of course, new contestants, what are you anticipating?
David Cook: I’m kind of walking in without expectations, purely for the reasons you mentioned: it’s almost a whole new show. I’m certainly looking forward to meeting the new contestants, and also really excited to meet the new judges. From what I’ve seen so far, Steven Tyler is a riot, and I think J. Lo’s been incredible. And I’m excited to see Randy, Ryan and everybody behind the scenes.

JENNIFER LOPEZ TO WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “ON THE FLOOR” DURING “AMERICAN IDOL” THURSDAY, MARCH 3, ON FOX

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

“On The Floor” Debuts on Top 40 Chart, Surges to No. 2 on iTunes Chart

Platinum-selling recording artist and AMERICAN IDOL judge Jennifer Lopez will world premiere the music video for her new hit single, “On The Floor (feat. Pitbull),” during AMERICAN IDOL Thursday, March 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

“On The Floor” is the first single from Lopez’s new album, “Love?,” on the Island Def Jam Music Group. The single is now available for preview, purchase and download on the iTunes Store and all digital partners. The RedOne-produced track debuted on the Top 40 chart at No. 38, and is locked in at more than 100 radio stations across the country. In just 24 hours since its release, “On The Floor” has already surged to No. 2 on the U.S. iTunes chart and has hit No. 1 in Spain, France, Sweden, Australia, Finland, Greece, Austria and Belgium. Lopez collaborated with renowned director Taj Stansberry on the video.

International icon Jennifer Lopez is an actress, entertainer, recording artist, film & TV producer, fashion designer, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Lopez has sold over 55 million records worldwide and has starred in multiple No. 1 box office films, including “The Wedding Planner” and “Monster-In-Law.”

This is a milestone year in her lustrous career. Lopez serves as a judge on AMERICAN IDOL, the juggernaut TV series now in its 10th season. She has launched worldwide campaigns as the ambassador of L’Oreal and Venus Gillette, and she has been named the spokeswoman of the Boys & Girls Club of America. It was Lopez who set the standard for celebrity branding in fragrance, apparel and accessories, and she will launch an exclusive collection with Kohl’s, the first ever for the retailer. In addition, her recent fragrance, Love and Glamour, has marked 17 successful launches and has taken in over $1 billion combined.

In 2001, “The Wedding Planner” was the nation’s top-grossing film while her album, “JLO,” was No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. The two simultaneous honors made Lopez the first woman in history to have a No. 1 movie and album in the same week. Lopez made her feature debut in the highly acclaimed feature “Mi Familia,” which garnered her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her role as young mother “Maria Sanchez.” Lopez earned widespread acclaim for her work in the title role of “Selena,” which brought her a Golden Globe Award nomination. The National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino advocacy group in the nation, named her Entertainer of the Year at the American Latino Media Arts Awards (ALMA) for TV and film.

Lopez’s production company, Nuyorican, is in development on several film and TV productions that includes a partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Film. She founded The Maribel Foundation along with her sister, Lynda, with a mission dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and children and raising the level of medical care available to them. The foundation is currently working with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on a telemedicine program that will help underserved communities by providing technology and top-notch doctor resources. The first telemedicine center opened in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2010.

Emmy Award-winning AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; and Nigel Lythgoe, President, Big Red 2 Entertainment. AMERICAN IDOL has been No. 1 among Adults 18-49 for the past seven consecutive seasons and currently ranks as the No. 1 television show of the 2010-11 season.
