Prison Break Is Cancelled, Peek Inside The Final Episodes

Some people see commercials for the once hit show, Prison Break and wonder, “Haven’t they escaped yet?”.  Well, it appears that enough people have had those thoughts.  the ratings have gone down and the show will be closing it’s “prison gates” permanently.

Entertainment Weekly talked with Prison Break’s executive producer Matt Olmstead:

Executive producer Matt Olmstead tells Entertainment Weekly exclusively that there was ”nowhere to go beyond this season,” adding that he ”didn’t want the show to become a parody of itself.”

Ratings-wise, the decision was easy since viewership is down 22 percent from last year. Luckily, fans will get some closure. Break returns April 17 to air its remaining six episodes. Michael and Lincoln (Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell) will finally catch a break — at a huge cost — in May’s finale. Says Olmstead, ”There will be deaths.” But since Fox extended Break’s 22-episode order by two hours earlier this year, that ”finale” may not even be the show’s last gasp.

Olmstead has filmed a couple of extra segments that he says ”address a couple of other storylines [and] can play as a standalone [movie].” What’s more, there are rumblings that Break might get a stay of execution under somewhat different circumstances. Explains exec producer Dawn Parouse, ”I would love to do a show about a women’s prison. It would have to be a fresh start — if not by us, then somebody.” Given that L Word creator Ilene Chaiken is planning, oh, the exact same thing for the proposed spinoff to her Showtime drama, perhaps Parouse should think about a different approach.

So, we say goodbye to another show.  It was fun while it lasted.  Farewell, Prison Break.  Life and death.  It’s all part of the TV living experience, isn’t it?

I think it will be interesting to see what happens next.  Will there be a women’s prison spin off?  I think that idea could actually work!  I think the male audience would enjoy seeing a bunch of women locked up in tight quarters.  They just better make sure to cast a couple of babes.

Announcement

Just here to let you onow, my dear readers, that, probably next week, I will do something that has probably never been done before in the history of the internet’s worldwide columns. Just to keeo you in the mystery, I won;t tell you what it is. You just will need to come back to find out.

Meanwhile, I keep trying to obtain books on celebrities so that we can discuss their lifes and controversies with my point of view on it all and your thoughts about it. But for now, I am planning to buy a Jay Leno book at the local Goodwill-yes I buy there and without shame!-a book which promises to give us plenty to talk about.

You don’t know her but my must do woman of the week, and this is a mayuscule MUST cause she makes me hard as a rock-is the Goodwill cashier girl. Maybe tomorrow I will come up with another hottie.

For those of you who may have noticed, some of the articles posted here under my name have actually been written by my niece Isabel Santiago, 9. She wants to be a writer and I love her to death, so much so I chose to stay with her watching tv tonight instead of joining friends at the club. My other pride and love is my other niece, 3 year old Nina Skrdla.

   

Like, Totally Breaking News!!!

As many of you know, I, Antonio Santiago JR., self-appointed pseudo-celebrity at backseatcuddler.com, am also a boxing writer at ringsidereport.com. My favorite ringsidereport.com and backseatcuddler.com reader, Jay, actually sent me an email about this recently calling me gay, which actually made me very proud becuase Jay made me one of those people, like Lennox Lewis, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Truman Capote, Madonna and Pope John Paul II, whose sexualities were at least once questioned by someone. So I feel famous :)

Recently, my editor at ringsidereport.com, Geno McGahee, a great man if there ever was one, sent us boxing writers a team letter recommending we ask for review copies of boxing books which, if you can prove you are a writer online or on a magazine and promise to write a review of the book,  you can get for free. So I started firing away and asking for all kinds of boxing books and have been successful so far. Of course all that means is I will have much more work on my hands.

So a lightbulb went on today inside my brain. My lightbulbs must be broken because that does not happen to me much and when it does, my ideas usually are as brilliant as those of Beavis and Butthead, or worse yet, former O.J. best friend Kato Kaelin or Nicole Ritchie. It ocurred to me that I can also ask for entertainment and fashion related books and review them here for you, my beloved readers that I dedicate my life as a writer to.

I have asked for a couple of books, on Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I plan to ask for books on Boy George, Lindsay Lohan, Jerry Springer, the aforementioned Madonna, Hanson, Zac Efron, Menudo, Nick Carter, Justin Timberlake, Nicole Ritchie, Jenna Jameson, Howard Stern, Vanessa Hudgens, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cirus, Avril Lavigne, Carolina Herrera, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar De La Renta, Hugo Boss, F’Cuck, and just about every famous celebrity entertainer and fashion designers or brands out there.

What you will get is my uncut, unashamed opinion both on the book and the controversies or fashions surrounding the subjects, so far as you can enjoy them, with respect to the subjects shown where respect is merited. For example, I won’t make fun of Brangelina’s international airport type of family. It is cruel and dirty to make jokes of children and I find it rather admirable of the Pitt’s-or is it Jolie’s?-that they are willing to give someone from a third world country an opportunity to have better chances in life.

I don’t want to close my column without giving a shout to the one real celebrity on my family, my father Antonio Sr. He just received his own biographical page at wikipedia.org, the sign that you have actually ARRIVED as a celebrity. Check it out:

My must do woman of the week: Have you seen Kola Boof lately? She attends her book readings naked!! Her point is women should not be ashamed of what they have and from my border-feminist mindset, I agree 100 percent and know what she means, it’s not the body she is talking about, it’s the soul. But MY OH MY, those milk-producers she’s got look like Mount Kilimanjaro, and I am a tourist and want to visit those mountains if you get my drift!!

Well amigas, I love you all. Love back to tj69662094@aol.com! Until next week my sisters and some brothers outthere as well, see you later!!  

Phony Suicide Attempt Called in About Heather Locklear

Heather Locklear 

Actress Heather Locklear was the vicitm of an illegal prank or worse, someone with a grudge, when a call was placed to 911 operators to say Locklear might attempt suicide at her home in California. The caller was not at Locklear’s home at the time.

Emergency responders tell TMZ the 911 call that triggered the response to Heather Locklear’s house last night was made by someone who feared Heather would try and kill herself.

Sources tell us when responders arrived, Heather was fine, completely responsive, and they left after about ten minutes. These sources say Heather was never in any danger and there was absolutely no need to take her in on a 5150 hold.

Calling in to 911 to report a bogus problem is illegal not to mention the waste of resources.

Boo Hoo! So Giselle Bundchen Did Not Spend a Night With Me…AKA: Grammy Fashions

Well, the Super Bowl came and went, and I did not get to see Gisele Bundchen. All the time she spent here was spent in deep secrecy and she didn’t even do sightseeing. Maybe she spent all the time getting boned by Tom Brady and that’s why the Patriots lost Super Bowl 42 to the New York Giants, 17-14. Let me tell you, I guarantee you she’d had a better time in bed with me.

But I do have some fashion news for you my dear women. After all, it was Grammy night last night and Grammy night is, well, like High School Football Friday nights, when some parents come in their best behavior and some animals don’t. For the record, the only reason I don’t approve cold blooded skin removal from those who mentally abuse their children into becoming the best athletes or entertainers and then take it off on other people when their kids fail, is that I am a supporter of animal rights, so they have rights too.  

 So, Grammy night last night. What did we see? We saw Alicia Keys in a navy blue one piece dress with a matching scarf and gold earrings, plus a red purse. It was tastefully combined and looked great, her skin tone the perfect background to such an excellent combination. And the dress highlighted her derriere, bringing an image we the male monkies of this world should treasure forever.

Joey Fatone, formerly of N’SYNC fame, seemed to have pulled it off with his elegant tuxedo. That is, until you looked at his feet. Poor Joey seems like he was playing basketball and forgot he had the Grammys ahead of him that night, because he wore some sneakers that reminded me of Larry Bird’s best days…as a forward for the Boston Celtics. Fatone’s sneakers are a no-no for the Grammys. Fatone’s date, Lisa Rinna, saved the day for them with a sleek, silver one piece that did falter a bit around her feet too, because it was a tad too long and made her look like she was stepping on it.

Jam and his wife, Lisa, dressed very elegantly, him with brown sunglasses, a suit, white shirt and a blue necktie. His boys were equally elegant. His wife looked like a Goddess with a precious lime dress which combined with her nice hairdo made a great impression. The only one that was a fashion victim out of Jam’s family was his daughter. I feel sorry for the child, because teens and pre-teens can be cruel and if they see what she wore, she’s on for a terrible time on Monday at school. Old time dresses with cufflinks are just so ’80s. As in the 1880’s. They made her wear something like that! Shame because she is very pretty.

Actress Tia Carrere did not look a day over the original Wayne’s World release. Hey Garth, like, “Way, dude!”. I hadn’t seen her in a very long time and she looks good. I liked her Blue dress but it could have been better had she not put a Golden garment over her waist.

There were many, many more star sightnings and fashions to be talked about last night, my friends, but my purpose is to entertain you, not make you feel like you are reading the credits after a movie down to the key grip guy. So those are the ones who caught my eye.

Today’s celebrity I must do of the week, Alicia Keys. Her dress last night more than convinced me she and I would “match up” real well. Where are the drinks being served at? I want her happy and in the mood. Don’t we all guys? Who needs Gisele Bundchen when you have one Alicia Keys?

Until next week, my dear friends, I hope you once again have enjoyed my zany, wild and outspoken comments and dubious fashion sense, which I myself sometimes recognize it’s there, other times it’s gone down the toilet. But it’s all dedicated to you because you love me and I love you too, and like John and Paul said, all we need is love.

On that note, see you around! Let me know if you or a girl you know are up for a date! 

BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears Hospitalized Again!

Get Help, Britney!

Britney Spears is in the hospital again, under psychiatric hold. Will it do anything for her this time around?

According to the L.A. Times, “Authorities said the welfare hold was prompted by a telephone call they received from Spear’s psychiatrist. It was unclear exactly when they had received the call, but it was apparent that the operation had been carefully planned over a period of time. Unlike the first welfare hold — in which Spears’ ambulance was closely pursued by a throng of photographers — vehicles today were blocked from following the same route. The motorcade that whisked Spears to the hospital also showed a large investment in resources. The line of emergency vehicles stretched longer than a football field.”An ambulance left Britney Spears’ house around 1:20 A.M this morning. The windows were covered and a police convoy of what seems like DOZENS of cops lead the way.

Britney was in the ambulance and she arrived at UCLA Medical Center around 1:35 A.M.

Following the ambulance were none other than Lynne Spears and Adnan Ghalib - in the same car.

Britney is going to be put under a 5150 psychiatric hold at the hospital for 72 hours. Hopefully her treatment will be extended.

Spears has been under the treatment of a psychiatrist, who was at her home Wednesday night and placed a call to the authorities, which triggered Brit’s hospitalization.

Britney had not slept in days and her shrink was concerned for her deteriorating condition.

Let’s hope Dr. Phil will stay out of it this time!

UPDATE: The Medication Found in Heath Ledger’s Apartment

Heath Ledger
It has been released what drugs were in Heath Ledger’s apartment.

NYPD sources tell TMZ that nearly full pill bottles containing the anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium), Lorazepam (Ativan) were found in the apartment. The sleeping medication Zoplicone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril) — which is used by people with “debilitating insomnia” — were also found.

All of the drugs were prescribed to Ledger.

Maybe taking all of these medications as a cocktail did something to him. But I refuse to think that he killed himself. It was obvious that he was upset and tired.
