Britney Spears walks off X Factor – yawn

Seriously producers, don’t think we’re not onto you and your silly headline grabbing / dramatic antics.

Dog the Bounty Hunter cancelled by A&E

The man with the mullet will probably still be making money kicking in peoples doors with his gang, but he won’t be reaping the rewards of it being filmed for A&E, with the network puling the plug on the series after 8 seasons.

Despite “Ringer” featuring the ‘star power’ of one Sarah Michelle Gellar it never really took a strong foothold in the ratings, thus leading to its demise. “The Secret Circle” clearly didn’t have enough...
