US-ENTERTAINMENT Summary
Reuters - Thursday, August 27
"House" gets guerrilla ad treatment
ADVERTISEMENT
LOS ANGELES - "Snakes on a cane." Sound familiar? Perhaps, during commercial breaks on Fox, you've seen the flashes of a caduceus that uses a cane instead of a staff. You might have seen the symbol drawn with chalk on New York streets. Or even clicked through to the phrase's cryptic Web site. Fox is set to announce what many who have spied the symbol already suspect: It has been a summerlong guerrilla marketing promotion for Season 6 of "House" in the fall.
Chris Brown sentenced in LA for assault
LOS ANGELES - Disgraced R&B star Chris Brown was sentenced to five years' probation and 180 days of community labor on Tuesday for beating up his then-girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna. The sentencing by a Los Angeles judge followed a plea deal. Brown, 20, pleaded guilty to assault on June 22. As part of his sentence, he must also complete a one-year domestic violence counseling program.
Coroner says Jackson died from lethal dose of propofol
HOUSTON - Pop star Michael Jackson died from a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol given in a cocktail of drugs, leading authorities to suspect his doctor of manslaughter, court documents showed on Monday. The "Thriller" singer suffered cardiac arrest and died on June 25 at age 50. Since then, an investigation by state and federal agencies have focused on Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal doctor who was at his bedside the day he died.
Latino rocker sees Havana gig helping U.S.-Cuba thaw
MIAMI - Colombian rock star Juanes says a public concert he plans in Cuba next month could help further thaw U.S.-Cuban ties despite outcry from some Cuban exiles who accuse him of pandering to the island's communist rulers. Juanes, who lives in the United States, told the Miami Herald in an interview published on Wednesday he saw his September 20 concert in Havana's Revolution Square as a chance to promote peace and reconciliation between Cuba and the United States, which have been ideological foes for nearly half a century.
Sale falls through on crypt above Marilyn Monroe
LOS ANGELES - A $4.6 million bid submitted through online auctioneer eBay Inc for the crypt on top of Marilyn Monroe's final resting place fell through, an attorney for the seller said on Tuesday. David Camel, an attorney for Elsie Poncher, who is selling her husband's crypt in a celebrity-heavy Los Angeles cemetery, said he is going through the bids to find one that qualifies.
Jessica Biel tops list as most risky star in cyberspace
LOS ANGELES - Actress Jessica Biel has overtaken Brad Pitt as the most dangerous celebrity to search in cyberspace, according to Internet security company McAfee Inc. For the third consecutive year, McAfee surveyed which A-list celebrity was the riskiest to track on the Internet after Pitt topped the list last year and Paris Hilton came in first in 2007.
UK's Channel 4 to ditch Big Brother reality show
LONDON - Britain's Channel 4 said on Wednesday it was ditching the once-popular "Big Brother" reality television series amid falling ratings for this year's show. Launched in Britain in 2000, the show in which the public votes to evict contestants from a house and garden where they are continuously filmed made celebrities out of Jade Goody and "Nasty" Nick Bateman.
Pete Townshend plans new musical "Floss"
LONDON . The 1965 hit song includes the line "I hope I die before I get old".
"Extract" distilled from human stupidity
LOS ANGELES - For a comedy, "Extract" is kinda depressing. Understand that wildly dysfunctional characters have become the norm in American comedies, but the characters in "Extract" give dysfunction a bad name. Not a single person in this ensemble comedy doesn't suffer from colossal stupidity. Nor does anyone possess a moral compass. From this contrived situation, writer-director Mike Judge, the creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill," wrings all the yuks he can. "Extract" might be live action, but it still plays like a cartoon. Miramax will in turn wring all the box office it can from "Extract," which opens September 4. There undoubtedly is an audience eager to laugh at dumb people behaving badly. Even so, it's hard to see how "Extract" will do more than modest business, with perhaps a larger audience awaiting its debut in home entertainment.
Canada police know woman with accused model killer
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The woman who helped reality TV contestant Ryan Jenkins get a motel room where the accused murderer killed himself is not considered a threat to public, Canadian police said on Monday. Police know who the woman is and can contact her if needed, but said it was too early to say yet if she would face any charges for helping Jenkins hide in Canada after he fled the United States with police in pursuit.
