Reclusive author J.D. Salinger dies at 91
BOSTON - Reclusive U.S. author J.D. Salinger, who wrote the American post-war literary classic "The Catcher in the Rye," has died of natural causes aged 91. His literary agent, Phyllis Westberg, said he died on Wednesday at his home in New Hampshire.
"Ugly Betty" cast may not be jobless for long
LOS ANGELES - The news of the cancellation of ABC's "Ugly Betty" had barely hit the Internet on Wednesday when the phones of the representatives of star Eric Mabius started ringing off the hook. With broadcast casting executives again in the hunt for good-looking thirtysomething leading men for pilots, Mabius' sudden availability made him instantly a hot commodity.
Jay Leno says bad guy image unfair in Conan struggle
CHICAGO - Comedian Jay Leno said on Thursday he felt he had been unfairly portrayed as the bad guy in NBC's late night talk-show wars with Conan O'Brien, and would work to repair his image. Leno told Oprah Winfrey in a television interview that "nowhere in his wildest dreams" had he expected to be asked to take back his old job as host of "The Tonight Show."
Gay groups urge Grammys to denounce Buju Banton
LOS ANGELES - Gay rights groups angry about a Grammy nomination for jailed Jamaican reggae singer Buju Banton took out a full page advert on Friday, protesting the honoring of an artist they said had "promoted the murder of gay people throughout his career." Banton, 36, is up for a best reggae album award for his "Rasta Got Soul" release at the Grammys on Sunday. He is currently in jail in Florida awaiting trial on a cocaine charge and will not be attending the awards show.
Obama's latest speech seen by 48 million Americans
LOS ANGELES - President Barack Obama's television ratings may be the latest indication that his popularity is slipping, despite his move to push job creation to the top of his policy agenda. Just over 48 million Americans tuned in to the telecast of his State of the Union speech on Wednesday, about 4 million fewer than watched his first address to Congress a month after taking office last year, Nielsen figures showed on Thursday.
Comcast, NBC promise to keep news, free TV
WASHINGTON - Cable giant Comcast and NBC Universal said on Thursday they would continue reporting news, keep broadcast television free and offer more children's programing if the U.S. government approves Comcast's plan to take control of the TV and movie company. But the filings, which were submitted to the Federal Communications Commission, did little to immediately allay critics of the deal, who were concerned about Comcast's control of NBC's television shows and movies in cable, television and on the Internet.
Ailing NBC gambles heavily on Vancouver Olympics
NEW YORK - NBC successfully has battled network rivals, time differences and controversy during two decades of Olympics. But on the eve of the Vancouver Winter Games, the fourth-ranked network might bow to an intractable foe: economics. With the recession and an eye-popping $820 million rights fee, NBC and corporate parent General Electric could lose as much as $250 million.
Bello, Crowe, "Slumdog" scribe team at HBO
LOS ANGELES - Maria Bello has teamed with Russell Crowe and the Oscar-winning writer of "Slumdog Millionaire" for a series project in the works at HBO. Bello is set to star in the drama "Emergency Sex," which is being written by Simon Beaufoy. They will executive produce with Russell Crowe.
Kristen Bell's rising career takes her to "Rome"
LOS ANGELES - When she waded in to a water fountain in Rome to film a scene for her upcoming movie, Kristen Bell had little more on her mind than having fun. Now, with "When in Rome" hitting theaters on Friday, it has dawned on the 29 year-old actress that she's carrying the success of an entire film on her shoulders for the first time, and with that comes the pressure to maintain a rising career.
Sly Stone sues ex-manager for $50 million
LOS ANGELES - Reclusive funk musician Sly Stone filed a $50 million lawsuit against his former manager on Thursday, alleging fraud and 20 years of stolen royalties. Stone, 66, the frontman of 1960s and '70s band Sly and the Family Stone, claimed that Jerry Goldstein had diverted an estimated $20-$30 million of royalties and used them to fund a lavish lifestyle.
