Simon Fuller was trying to buy 19 back from CKX in late 2007.

Found this ancient photo of D. Wonder if he is still on the book?

Edited August 5, 200816 yr by Bramley

That one is still on their site. I think they'd have removed it if he wasn't

Mmmm......we could all club together and have a modelling session ?????? A singing model?

If he tried out his new songs, he could wear a bin bag as far as I was concerned. I'm really wondering what they will be like.

 

 

Second thoughts, just nopt the GAS jacket and white T shirt.....please.

Baytree, when you get back off your holiday and read this, please get posting again to keep this

Well 19 are active in other areas just not D'S. They have just signed the american idol runner up to a record contract out later this year and -

Nigel Lythgoe has announced that he is stepping down as executive producer of American Idol.

 

Lythgoe, who has worked on the show for all seven seasons, has decided to concentrate on making So You Think You Can Dance a worldwide hit. He will also work on a new project with Simon Fuller, with whom he created the Dance format.

 

"Due to the huge success of Dance, my summer will be taken up by travels to South Africa, Australia and Canada to work on local versions of the show," Lythgoe explained in a statement. "I will step back from my day-to-day producing work on American Idol and will be devoting my time to a new venture with Simon Fuller."

 

Fox, which broadcasts Idol in the US, added: "We congratulate Nigel on the proposed joint venture he is developing with Simon Fuller. He is an extraordinarily talented producer whose creative contributions to the No. 1 show on television have been immeasurable."

 

Idol will continue to be produced by Fuller and Lythgoe's 19 Entertainment company. Rumours suggest that fellow executive producer Ken Warwick could now become the programme's sole showrunner.

 

I would have thought Lythgoe would have been cutting back his work schedule after his heart attack, not traipsing

round the world.

On another subject-

To the entertainers TV is a very lucrative source of employment. To outsiders it appears that an inappropriate and

unjustified amount of money is being handed out. Re this article.

 

 

Charlie Sheen is the highest-paid US TV actor this year, according to a report.

 

The actor earns an estimated $825,000 (£422,000) per episode of CBS sitcom Two And A Half Men, including income from his ownership of the show.

 

William Petersen, star and executive producer of CSI, finished second on the TV Guide list with $600,000 (£307,000) per episode.

 

The magazine's editor Craig Tomashoff said: "[sheen and Petersen] are at the very top of their game and are the best at what they do. You'd expect them to be at the top of the scale."

 

Emmy-winning actress Mariska Hargitay was the highest-paid woman in a TV drama, earning $400,000 (£204,000) per episode for her role as Olivia Benson in Law & Order.

 

Oprah Winfrey was the best-paid TV celebrity, taking home $385 million (£197 million) per year for hosting her chatshow.

 

Also featured on the list were the cast of The Simpsons ($400,000 each per episode) and American Idol judge Simon Cowell ($50 million per season).

 

Elsewhere, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was the highest-paid TV writer-producer after signing a $100 million five-year deal with Fox.

 

Thanks Bramley. interesting reading. I do like William peterson of C.S.I, he is excellent in the part in fact all the leads in the las vegas episodes also but dont like the new york lead whose name escapes me. Gary something.

I don't watch CSI or other American episodes........I've given up because I find I have to concentrate so much

on what they say that I tend to lose the thread. They speak so quickly, plus the American dialect. I have enough

trouble with broad Welsh, Scottish or Tyneside dialects!

It seems the theatre can pay well, as well as TV.

 

John Barrowman Scoops Record Sum for Panto???

Date: 1 August 2008

 

According to today's Daily Mail, TV impresario John Barrowman is rumoured to be in line to receive a hefty cheque for his appearance in a pantomime version of Robin Hood this Christmas. For the six week run at the Birmingham Hippodrome, the Torchwood star is thought to have been offered a whopping £270,000

 

The astounding sum equates to around £45,000 a week, but it will be no picnic for Barrowman. The gruelling schedule will see him appearing in no less than 73 shows within the six week run, often with more than one performance a day. The star of stage and screen is used to the demands of pantomime, having appeared previously in Cinderella at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Jack and the Beanstalk at the New Theatre in Cardiff, and Aladdin at the Birmingham Hippodrome.

 

 

Other people don't do 8 shows a week?

He'll be out of practise......

...just to add.....my daughter is going to see it and her husband to been has volunteered me to go with her

I think it took its toll.....D certainly lost a lot of weight.

Just join in the yelling...'He's behind you' and 'Oh no he didn't' and you'll enjoy it! There's always the

ice-cream in the interval!

Chocolate, of course.

I think it will be quite interesting......I just hope she doesn't decide to take her....'mother-in-law' instead :o

Threaten to disown her if she does. You may love it.

Oh dear think I must be odd one out here, definitely not a fan of JB. also went to see mama mia tonite and cant understand what all the fuss was about. I say this in spite of being a fan of meryl streep and colin firth.
