We thought we'd been spared. Although the Fox reality show "The Simple Life" congested our airwaves and made a celebrity out of Paris Hilton, Fox announced it was canceling the show, leading to speculation that Hilton's feud with co-star Nicole Richie had something to do with it. Alas, the two spoiled brats are not only shooting a fourth season, they hope to sell it to another network. The reason Fox canceled it apparently had nothing to do with bad blood between the "stars" or even bad ratings; Fox simply didn't have enough room for it in its fall schedule because the network was overextended on other projects. Whether or not "The Simple Life" does return to television, though, the genie is already out of the bottle; Hilton has no intention of disappearing.
And as if that weren't enough to wish a comet would hit the earth and provide sweet relief (remember that "Everybody Loves Raymond" episode?), Sylvester Stallone plans to make a sixth Rocky movie, in which Rocky Balboa takes one last shot at a fight not to win, but simply to compete. Uh, Sly? You're going to be sixty next year. Your Italian Stallion is ready to be taken to the glue factory. Gee whizbangers, even George Foreman wouldn't compete in the ring again today, and he's "only" fifty-seven!
Come on, comet!
