Enough about Susan Boyle!
I'm over it. Please stop writing stories about her.
Yes, I get it. She's a good singer. Guess what? Ugly people have been able to sing in the past. Odds are they will in the future.
Associated Press? Do we really need a story every time Boyle changes her clothes? Boyle dyed her hair? We need a story! She put on a leather jacket? We need a story!
Boyle even made her way onto the most recent episode of "South Park," when Kyle's little brother Ike leaves a note stating that if he hears about her one more time, he would vomit something out of his mouth. (Can't print what that is. Go watch the episode.)
So please, Susan, I know you can sing. We all know you can sing. The clock has struck 15, go away.

We all agree that "Snakes On a Plane" was a dumb, unintelligent mess of
a movie, right? Even so, many of us absolutely loved it.
For those of us in fell into that camp, director David R. Ellis has lined up his next film. It's called "Humpty Dumpty" and it so far seems to have no connection to the children's storybook character.
According to a press release, "Humpty" is a "3-D sci-fi horror pic is about a half-human, half-alien creature who embarks on a murderous rampage after his alien mother is abused by two rednecks in the Deep South."
Take a minute and read that again... OK, we'll move on.
The much-anticipated Gore Verbinski-directed live-action adaptation of "BioShock" has been put on hold.
Universal has applied the brakes to the project because of high budget concerns with the cost reaching upwards of $160 million. The project, which will feature Al Pacino among others, will continue on hiatus until they can figure a way to pare down some costs.
No means no, "brutha."
According to Entertainment Weekly, "Lost" start Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Desmond on the hit show, has been sued by a former ABC employee who is alleging sexual battery against him.
According to the suit, Cusick allegedly "squeezed and placed his face on the plaintiff's breasts, kissed her on the mouth, and caressed the back of her body while making moaning sounds."
The woman who filed the suit says that this happened on set and that she was fired soon after for reporting the behavior.
I guess the real question isn't where did the incident occurr but when did the incident occur.
Another entry in the "Why-the-Hell-Are-You-Remaking-That?" category...
Universal is bringing back "Drop Dead Fred." Yup, it's true.
I'm not sure if I'm just getting old, but the original came out in 1991. I remember going to see this in the theaters. They should not be remaking films that I was old enough to see and remember clearly in theaters.
But they are.
The good news is that Rik Mayall, who played Fred in the original, has been replaced by Russell Brand. According to Variety, the concept behind the new 'Fred' is to "make a film in the tone of 'Beetlejuice,' building a universe around the concept of imaginary friends."
One request? Please bring back Phoebe Cates. I miss her.
Here's what else is going on this week...
Good news for "Scrubs" fans. ABC is in talks to renew the series for an unexpected ninth season. If successful, the new season would star many of the series regulars in part-time roles and shuffle in this season's "interns" as the new regulars. Sort of like a comedic "ER."
Fox's remake of "Gulliver's Travels" has capturing up a giant of a cast. Amanda Peet is the latest member of the Jack Black project, which will also star Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.
Where else is there to go for Sonny Crockett other than porn director?
Don Johnson, will play a porn director in Sony's new comedy "Born to Be a Star." The Happy Madison production will also feature comedian Nick Swardson and Christina Ricci.
And in case you're wondering, yes, Johnson will sport a mustache.

Why, oh, why, won't they just let Scrubs RIP already?!? Don't misunderstand me, I LOVE Scrubs. I have watched every single episode since day one, but Scrubs without the main cast is not Scrubs. It's a poor excuse for a comedy that was once brilliant and hilarious! And after the abuse the fans took last season, I thought for sure that this would just be the last season we were meant to get last year and we would all get a fond farewell and it would be done. I even thought last weeks episode was their signaling the beginning of the end with JD deciding to move. BUT NO!! They have to ruin it with a mediocre cast at best, and keep on recycling the same old jokes. Enough is enough!!! Let it go already and stop jerking the fans around!
