Fame Kills Tour is dead
Well, that didn’t last long. According to a LiveNation press release, Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s much-hyped Fame Kills Tour has officially been cancelled. Although no comments have come from the West and Gaga camps, people have been speculating that the cancellation may stem from West’s negative publicity (re: his latest stint at the MTV Video Music Awards), poor early ticket sales, and “creative differences” between the two headlining artists. A Lady Gaga choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson Twittered that the cancellation was due to such “creative differences.” Also, Kanye had mentioned on The Jay Leno show that he wanted to take a much needed break from the tours and the albums; maybe this is his way of actually proving his point.
Refunds are available at the point of purchase, and if you purchased tickets online or on the telephone they will be refunded automatically. Also, according to the tour website, the Club membership fee will be refunded, too. Details on this will be made available “shortly.”
Update: Lady Gaga has commented on the cancellation today, though she did not go into much detail. “Well, actually, it was a mutual decision to cancel the tour. But I’m not taking any time off, so I’ll be leaving just a week later than I was supposed to on my own solo tour. It will be the same places. So I will see you guys there. I’m putting out my re-release as well — The Fame Monster on November 24. In respects to the creative work that [Kanye and I] did together, I won’t be doing any of the things that we designed for the tour. It will be entirely new, and it will be just as amazing and memorable and epic.”

Brian Austin Green talks about potential Terminator:TSCC comeback
IGN sat down with actor Brian Austin Green to discuss his new role in Smallville and his past role as Derek Reese in the brilliant and greatly missed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles series.
I talk to [Sarah Connor Executive Producer] James Middleton all the time and I really hope that it returns. And I know that a lot of people from Warner Bros., all the way through, really wish and hope for the same thing. And the end of the day, we have some of the greatest fans ever. I so appreciate the people that are fighting as hard as they are to bring the show back. And of course, I would love for it to happen. Ultimately, if it doesn’t, I’m also really proud of the fact that we have two amazing seasons of television on DVD and Blu-ray, that people can watch from start to finish. I’m proud of every episode. I can watch the whole thing and say, “Yeah, I was a part of something that was really big and really much bigger than television is used to.” Maybe it just wasn’t the right time… But everyone did their work and it paid off. It’s because of the fans that it went two seasons, it really is. So it was a joint effort and it was kind of one of those sort of fun, global crossovers between us making the show and the fans watching the show. There was this really large group of people that made it happen and we made two amazing seasons so far. Let’s hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed for more… And if not, we can still be happy with what we have.
Green also talks about the possibility of a straight-to-DVD TV movie that ties up loose ends from the Season 2 finale. Like Thomas Dekker (he played John Conner) said before him, Green said that “there’s a really good possibility of it happening.” He goes on to say “I thought we really set ourselves up for something unique and incredible, if we get the chance to come back and finish it. And hopefully we will. .. I think it can end up being a really amazing finish to it all.” I whole-heartedly agree. Raise your glasses, readers: here’s to The Sarah Connor Chronicles making a well-deserved comeback to network TV!

“V” production issues alter schedule
Productions problems have been all the rage for the remake of the 1980s classic mini-series V, set to debut on November 3. After receiving positive reviews and much hype after the initial screening of the V premiere episode at this year’s Comic Con, the execs decided to push the airing of the series premiere from a mid-season debut (January 2010) to the aforementioned November date. This was good news for V fans; the wait for the premiere became closer in view. Now, though, a bit of bad news has changed the show’s planned schedule. V will only be airing four episodes before it goes on a long hiatus (presumably until March 2010) due to the Winter Olympics. ABC execs have said that it was planned to have the fourth episode leave viewers with a massive cliffhanger, but such a long haitus was probably not part of such plan.
This news comes at a time when we recently learned about an extended production shutdown and word of a second shutdown coming into effect after the filming of the fourth episode. With so many shutdowns and production issues I hope that V can hold itself up and retain its hype and positive reviews throughout the long break until March. It all rests on the shoulders of the first four episodes. With Lost‘s Elizabeth Mitchell leading the pack of an all-star cast and a recent trailer that sent chills of excitement down my spine I will continue to support V and I have a good feeling it will do just fine. V premieres November 3 on ABC.

So what does it all mean, Basil? People are watching TV more than they were before, and that’s a good thing.

Latest PS3 ads feature Nazis, Joan of Arc [Updated]
And I thought we had seen the creepiest, strangest ads from Sony already for it’s Playstation 3.
These latest ads feature a “gamer” giving a blood transfusion to a Nazi soldier and a heart transplant to Joan of Arc. Sony PR, you might have gone a wee bit too far this time.
Update: Apparently this was a “mock campaign” and Sony never officially signed off on these outlandish creations. Check out what Cristián Lehuedé B., the president of BBDO Chile (the advertisement company behind these ads) has to say on the matter after the break.
