TBS has canceled Lopez Tonight because Conan O’Brien is killing George Lopez in ratings.

When Conan made his return to late night TV at the 11 p.m. time slot, viewership for Lopez Tonight dropped by 40%, making it hard for TBS to keep the show.

“We are proud to have partnered with George Lopez, who is an immensely talented comedian and entertainer,” the network said in a statement. “TBS has valued its partnership with George and appreciates all of his work on behalf of the network, both on and off the air.”

TBS is wasting no time; the last episode of Lopez Tonight will air tomorrow.

Sadly, the remake was bound to happen. First came Fame. Then we got Footloose. And now, we have to face the fact that the previously untouchable Dirty Dancing will be made anew. Lionsgate Films has confirmed that it is moving forward with a remake of our sacred Patrick Swayze-Jennifer Grey iconic film.

Lionsgate has tasked High School Musical director Kenny Ortega with the project because he was the choreographer for the 1987 original and also directed a pair of episodes of the short-lived Dirty Dancing TV series in the 80’s.
“The opportunity to direct Dirty Dancing is like returning home for me,” Ortega told Variety. “Growing up in the ’60s on the dance floor helped define me as a person and as an artist.”

The remake will include the classic songs from the original: (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life, She’s Like the Wind and Hungry Eyes and it will also incorporate tunes from the ’60s and some new compositions.

Selena Gomez shows off her peachy pout in the September 2011 Glamour magazine which has lady Rihanna on the cover.

In the interview, Selena reminds us that she is only 19 years old and asks the media to take it easy on her, especially when it comes to dating an even more famous teen, Justin Bieber. “I feel like everything that I’m doing right now should not be taken too seriously,” Selena told the mag. “I should be able to have fun and enjoy where I’m at! So I don’t want to spend my time hiding or worrying about all of that.”

Here are ome excerpts from the interview:
On living with the rejection of showbiz:
“When I was 11 years old, I had a grown woman who was a casting director tell me I was not strong enough to carry the lead in any project. Now I’m doing things that I love, and I’m working really hard. I never want to play the victim or anything, but of course everybody deals with it.”

On Facebook and Twitter Fans:

“I love that I can stay connected with my fans and be able to tell them what’s going on. Their opinions are so important to me. But at the same time, it’s very weird. I think the Internet can be a great thing but also really evil. Something can instantly hurt your feelings.”

On being threatened online by Justin Bieber fans:
“Yeah, I’m human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.”

On being young in Hollywood: 
“You have this pressure to fit in and you want people to like you. I try my best to be a good person and be the best I can be.”

American Idol winner Scotty McCreery Tweeted a huge announcement yesterday: “The Love You This Big video will premiere on CMT August 9th. Y’all be sure to tune in.”

The video was shot in Los Angeles but has the look and feel of a small town. McCreery has said, “If you looked one way, you could see Dodger Stadium, and if you looked another way, you could see downtown L.A. If I hadn’t told you that, you would think we would have shot that in North Carolina.”

The video is “a summertime barbecue, kinda like a community thing on the Fourth of July,” McCreery recently told Access Hollywood. 

Besides earning the highest-charting debut single in country music in over two decades, the current Idol reigning champ is hard at work on his new album and still out on the road touring with his Idol buddies. You can watch best buddy Lauren Alaina‘s video premiere for Like My Mother Does here.
