Not Winning: Disgraced actor Charlie Sheen booed of stage in New York City?

[Apr. 9]

Charlie Sheen isn’t making many friends these days, and the former star of Two and a Half Men, and once the highest paid actor in television history, seems not to be winning and in fact seems to be losing audience numbers as he tours the nation with his live stage tour, most recently in New York City at Radio City Music Hall.

Sheen, dressed in a New York Yankees cap and shirt, (and probably full of tiger blood) was met with a semi-standing ovation at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, says TMZ, but the show quickly turned sour as Charlie sheen did little more than rant and tell stories about his drug and alcohol addictions war stories, without any of the fun details thrown in about him wanting to keep the party rolling.

Previous shows Charlie Sheen put on in Chicago, Cleveland, and Columbus met with standing ovations, but the New York City debut shut down about 30 minutes ahead of one Ohio show.

Did FOX cancel the Glenn Beck Show because he is nuts or is he simply moving on with his next career goals?

[Apr. 9]

Fox News, along with Mercury Radio Arts, the company Glenn Beck founded, announced Thursday that The Glenn Beck Show on Fox News will be canceled later this year. Fox News has seen a 30 percent drop in ratings for the Glenn Beck Show amid accusations that Fox News has become an outlet for the Republican Party rather than an independent and unbiased news source, says NewStaar Media.

But celebrity newscaster Glenn Beck hasn’t quit just yet. He and Fox News still are on good terms. According to the Business Insider, Beck told Bill O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor that Fox still was the only cable outlet from which to offer cable news. Nevertheless, Beck said that times are changing and hinted that media must change with it.

Glenn Beck told Bill O’Reilly during a recent celebrity interview:

“We have to reach different audiences, we have to reach younger.”

“So now what? Well, its not enough for me to say, as a citizen, ‘You know what? You go out and help people. You do it.’ Its time for me to do that as well.”

According to GlennBeck.com, Beck’s production company, Mercury Radio Arts, will continue to work with Fox News on a new partnership where Beck will assist with development and production of a variety of television show productions for Fox News as well as other digital media holdings. No details were given on what the partnership might look like for Glenn Beck or Fox News.

Hulk Hogan and Little People reality TV series really about midget wrestling?

Hulk Hogan makes big wrestlers of little people in new reality TV series about midget wrestling?

[Apr. 9]

We know, we know. It sounds all wrong but celebrity athlete Hulk Hogan is at it again with a new reality television series tentatively named Micro Wrestling, reports RadarOnline. The show will highlight the backstage lives and training of little people in professional wrestling. Micro Wrestling currently is in production, and Hulk Hogan will be the man and mentor behind the big aspirations of these little athletes.

While Hogan is no stranger to reality television & he’s starred in Hogan Knows Best and Brooke Knows Best & the reality television show Micro Wrestling is a return to wrestling for the professional wrestling superstar.

RadarOnline.com reports:

The Hulk (a.k.a. Terry Bollea) will be the man behind the wrestlers: “He’s the guy who inspires, recruits, trains and mentors them. He’s been involved in every step — only this time it’s on a smaller scale,” his attorney David Houston tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“It will explore the fascinating world of wrestling on the scale of little people,” he adds. “It will show their extraordinary physical capabilities and the true strength of people of that stature.”

There is an established history for little people in sports. The Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA) “is a nonprofit organization created in 1985 to develop, promote, and provide quality amateur level athletic competition opportunities for dwarf athletes in the United States.”

Some have criticized Micro Wrestling as just another attempt by the green celebrity professional wrestler to capitalize on his own antics, as he was criticized for doing with reality television shows Hogan Knows Best and Brooke Knows Best, but Micro Wrestling may do a lot to bring attention to the quality sportsmanship and abilities of little people. Green celebrity Hogan still is suffering through a costly divorce from his ex-wife Linda.
