CouchSlobs - A Monument To Human Idleness

It was announced today that Victoria Beckham will be appearing on ABC’s prime time show Ugly Betty. Ex and current Spice Girl will be appearing as herself and playing a celebrity bridesmaid. This is her first primetime roll since her move to Hollywood; and although Mrs. David Beckham still insists she has no desire to launch an acting career, this just might be a best way of seeing this plan through. After watching her NBC special, in which she intended to preset herself as a funny soccer mom and ended up looking like stuck-up alien bitch, this just might be a perfect chance to seal her acting career once and for all.
I only hope she gets a part in that musical episode, we’ve been hearing so much about, and then she can end her acting and singing career within one hour.

NOTE TO SELF: Pitch new Dr. Phil meets The View type show to Oprah. Hosts: Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse.

NBC Universal has announced that from December it will be pulling its shows from iTunes Store. This news can be a blow for Apple’s popular download service. After all 40 percent of its total video downloads comes from NBC’s shows like “Heroes,” “The Office” and “To Catch a Predator”.

The rift between two media giants opened over packaging/pricing structure (that’s fancy words for money). NBC wants to bump prices, while Apple what’s to keep everything as it is. Apple has previously been under pressure to raise the prices of its downloads; and from no one other then EMI. They threatened with the same action earlier this year when the company’s music division renegotiated its agreement with Apple. Just like the NBC Universal, EMI was asking for higher prices and short-term sales agreements. As a result of these negotiations Apple introduced 130 percent more expensive DRM free music. Since the old arrangement doesn’t expire for a couple of months still, I wouldn’t worry too much; after all iTunes is the world’s biggest online media store; and who in their right mind would ever leave this cash cow.
