MICHAEL JACKSON POSTPONES CONCERT DATES

Several of Michael Jackson’s anticipated “This Is It” London concert dates were postponed on Wednesday afternoon.

An email issued through concert organizers revealed that Jackson’s July 8 gig has been rescheduled for July 13. Three other July dates, however, are now not expected to take place until March 2010. Read the release below:

“Due to the sheer magnitude of the “This Is It” concerts at the O2 Arena promoters and producers AEG Live and Kenny Ortega, Michael’s directorial partner and creative collaborator have elected to move back a few of the opening shows in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show.

We wanted to ensure that all of Michael’s fans attending the concerts get the same quality in staging and level of entertainment. It is AEG Live’s sincere hope that those lucky enough to have purchased tickets will have enough time to change their personal schedules and travel plans if they are coming from outside of London.”

TV BIT: CW’S ‘THE GAME’ HAS BEEN CANCELED

Well it looks like THE CW went ahead and canceled ‘The Game’. Here is the email someone sent me:

I just wanted you to know I found out today that the CW has canceled The Game. Here is the official line up of the CW for the Fall 2009:

90210: Already renewed / America’s Next Top Model: Already renewed.
Everybody Hates Chris: Canceled / The Game: Canceled
Gossip Girl: Already renewed / One Tree Hill: Already renewed
Privileged: Canceled / Reaper: Canceled.
Smallville: Already renewed / Supernatural: Already renewed.

For the record, I won’t be watching the LAME-ASS CW ever again, nor promoting any of their current or upcoming shows on Concrete Loop. They never promoted The Game or Everybody Hates Chris as much as Gossip Girl or 90210. And don’t get me started on One Tree Hill, that show is beyond garbage but always gets picked up every season. I guess picking up Tyra’s show (America’s Next Top Model) meets their black quota for the season. And don’t get me started on Girlfriends, y’all saw how they did that show.
