Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:20:21 +0000

Look out Sin City! Prickly "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell wants to make Las Vegas the setting for the U.S. version of popular British show "The X Factor." Sir Philip Green, the billionaire partnering with Cowell on "X Factor," tells the New York Post , "Vegas is tailor-made for this show. To sing in Vegas? I mean, hell, you get to the final 12 [and tell them] 'Your dream's come true -- you're going to sing in Vegas!'" So let's see if we've got this right... a show that will feature singers where the ultimate prize is performing in Las Vegas, helmed by someone with the name and cache to bring in big names to judge and mentor? Watch out "America's Got Talent," "The X Factor" is coming for you. Let's be honest, "America's Got Talent" is practically a singing competition anyway, so how will "The X Factor" be any different? Maybe now that we'll have a U.S. version of "The X Factor," "America's Got Talent" could ban singing acts. It would certainly save us a lot of pain, not having to listen ...

Regis Philbin taking down time for hip surgery

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:27:45 +0000

The man who's spent more time on TV than anyone in history will be taking some time off soon. Regis Philbin says he'll take a leave of absence from "Live with Regis and Kelly" to have hip surgery. He's scheduled to go under the knife in New York on Dec. 1, following a week of shows in Las Vegas this week. "I'm going to have my hip replaced. I've been limping around here, and it really is painful," Philbin said on Monday's show. "I'll be back next year." Philbin, 78, holds the Guinness world record for having spent the most hours on camera. As of 2006, the last time the record was updated, he had logged 15,662 hours on screen; three more years of "Live," hosting "Million Dollar Password" on CBS and other guest and talk-show appearances have only added to that. No one will threaten that record in the time he's out; the show says recovery time for the surgery is usually four to six weeks, which could have Philbin back on the air in mid-January.
