Each week I take 5 news items from the current week from the entertainment industry, list them out here and then give my take on them. This is Take 5.
1. Brett Ratner Quits as Oscar Producer – Yay! Due to the disparaging remarks that mister Ratner made last week he has stepped down as the producer for the 2012 Oscars. All I can say is, thank you. The man is not a good fit with Oscar, in fact this was probably as close as he was ever going to get to getting one. I mean the man is responsible for X-Men 3: The Last Stand.
2. Eddie Murphy Quits as Host of the Oscars – This one I have mixed feelings on. It really depended on which Eddie we were going to get. The funny comedian of the 80’s or the family comedy man of the past 20 years. I was hoping that the Oscars would bring back the comedian side, but with him gone I don’t have to worry about him showing up in a fat suit.
3. Billy Crystal Returns as the Host for the Oscars – Yay! Billy was the Oscar host I grew up with and I have never felt that anyone has been near his level of greatness since he stopped hosting. This will be good for Oscar and I am sure ratings will improve because of it.
4. Groups Don’t Work on X-Factor – So apparently people don’t like groups. Both weeks only groups have occupied the bottom two on this show. Why? Because people like stories and with groups you don’t get to connect with one person and learn their story. A two person group might work but that is probably the limit.
5. Howard Stern to Replace Piers Morgon on America’s Got Talent – Had a hard time typing that, my fingers didn’t believe me.
