ROUND UP: MONTEL CANCELED / THE OPRAH SCULPTURE / BEYONCE ON FORBES LIST

Thursday, January 31, 2008 |

After 17 years on the air, Montel Williams and his talk show have been canceled. According to various outlets, the syndicated talk show’s fate was reportedly sealed when a number of FOX-owed stations decided against renewing the show for another year (could it be because of what he said over the weekend?). Show production will continue through the rest of this season so new episodes should air for some time.

The Montel Williams Show first hit the airwaves on September 30, 1991 in New York and a few other markets. It was picked up for syndication the following year. The show generally focuses on uncontroversial subjects, personal stories, and the readings of self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne. The show was nominated for Daytime Emmys in both 2001 and 2002. A decorated member of naval intelligence, this was the first show for host Williams. He received a Daytime Emmy in 1996 and was nominated in 2002.

♫ Jay-Z - Ain’t I

An exclusive from DJ Clue, Jay-Z releases a new song, produced by none other than Timbaland for the I Am Legend mixtape. Upon downloading the track, I was thinking Jay was just doing it for fun - something strictly for the purpose of the mixtape, but low and behold, Clue screams out, “New music from The Blueprint 3!” and that’s when I had to raise an eyebrow.

As food prices soar, impoverished Haitians are resorting to eating cookies made of mud.

Made from dirt, salt and vegetable shortening, the cookies - which are regularly used by pregnant women and children as an antacid and source of calcium - have become a regular meal for Haitians desperate to satisfy hunger.

In Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, 80 percent of the population lives on less than $2 a day. The mud cookies sell for around five cents each, compared to 60 cents for two cups of rice.

RIHANNA FOR “GOT MILK?”

Thursday, January 31, 2008 |

RIHANNA “GOT MILK?”

Rihanna is the latest star to join in on the latest “Got Milk” ad campaign with her milk mustache. The ad reads:

“Drink it in. Pop star? Not exactly. Milk is more my move. Some studies suggest that teens who choose milk instead of sugary drinks tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So, shut up and drink.”

I was hoping they would incorporate “Umbrella” in there some how…too hard.
