I'm not a writer...<whispers>...I'm a poet
try recording some of your poetry over looped beats and maybe you can be a rapper! :)
I'm completely over this discussion
I was completely over it about two pages back. I'm more interested in Lyndsay Lohan, which says a lot about this thread. So I'll put my money where my mouth is and STFU from here on. (and others may/may not care to do same)

Bad news for Martin Henderson. ABC said no ...
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Regency TV) NOT ORDERED
Exec Producers: Simon Kinberg, Doug Liman, Dave Bartis
Cast: Jordana Brewster, Martin Henderson, Bridgette Wilson Sampras, Rebecca Mader
Logline: Based on the hit feature about a married couple who are both spies.Okay. I'll leave it at that, but there's a mine of trivia on that link I gave above if you're interested. The US version of Vicar of Dibley starring Kirstie Allie has 'not been picked up', and there's a host of other 'whatever-happened-to' talent that can't seem to get arrested (they said no to Lasse Halstrom).
Kinda explains why Jo Cotton et al were happy to go on Pop's Ultimate Star. The rent must be paid ...

Heh heh heh ...
But these shows were picked up and no doubt TVNZ/TV3 are devising a local equivalent as we speak ...
The Singing Bee (Gurin Co./Juma Ent.) PICKED UP
Executive producers: Phil Gurin, Robert C. Horowitz
Logline: Contestants sing the lyrics to popular songsWorld Moves (Warner Horizon TV) PICKED UP
Executive producers: Randy Jackson [American Idol judge], Rob Lee, Howard Schwartz, Karen Schwartz, Harriet Sternberg Logline: Dance teams compete for international touring contractNOTE: All titles tentative.
I'm guessing that with The Singing Bee contestants are given random song titles, some of which THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW, and are forced to sing them -- with often hilarious results!!!!!!!!
My sides are already splitting in anticipation.

If only they'd pitched it to HBO and not NBC ...
Kath and Kim* (NBC U TV) NOT ORDERED

* Will fill in on summer sked -
"everybody needs a bosom for a pillow"
Can you inform my wife please? She wants me to lose some weight ...

PA readers are probably smart enough not to need this warning, but just in case there's some nerdy sheltered types out there looking for extra cash:
NEVER take a Receptionist job at a Massage Parlour/Escort Service. They may assure you that that's all you're required for, and you may believe it, but they will be grooming you from day one.
Ditto for Strip Clubs. You might think it's only a barmaid position but one day Blondie will be sick and Jasmine is out doing a Strip-o-gram and all the other girls will beg you to try it ("just for fun!") to help them out cos they're so tired from having to do all those extra routines to fill the gap. (And you wondered why they had been shouting you drinks all night ...)
This advice is based on friends' experiences from last century. I guess with the rise of P they need not be so nefarious these days.

why do Playstation 3s cost $1200, when then 60GB model costs US$500?
Because the price you pay is based on the exchange rate at the time the container load of PS3's were ordered (and charged for).
I'm guessing a lot of plasma TV's were bought by importers once the dollar hit 70¢US. They'll try and flog those before the RWC, and then come Xmas there will be even cheaper models (or higher spec'd) that were imported at 80¢US.
Poor old Alan Bollard ...

I might hit you up for some other costs since you're happy with nz on airs performances, I'll let you know bout that after we get this first thing out of the way.
You're obviously not Nigerian then. You're supposed to take the money first and then hit them up for more. Don't tell them "this is just the start of your beneficence" at the beginning ...!!

Why would a takeaway chicken franchise send me a telegram?

In the meantime, perhaps you'd be kind enough to complete this survey on your role in the future of television, which is connected with some of the work I'm doing.
I might need to go back and change one of my answers. I've been trolling the web for 5 hours now, rooted to this chair. Got up to pee once, but only just realised I've skipped lunch. Better log off now, before I get addicted!
here's what I watched last
