David Duchovny hints on Box office sequel.
During the run of it's nine year life, The X-Files was once THE mainstream science fiction show to watch. Massive audiences for sure. Season one was spent establishing itself, but from the second to the fifth year, The X-Files was hot property. At this point a box office film was done that didn't do bad. The show started dwindling after that, and the fatal blow came when series star, David Duchovny (Fox Mulder), quit at the end of the 7th season. With new characters and stars backing up Gillian Anderson's lead spot (Dana Scully), the show went out with a bang. I shalln't spoil it for you if you missed the two-part finale, but it was a great end to a great show.
Recently, while talking to Moviehole, Duchovny hinted at the planning of a second motion picture.
"It's definiely happening, Chris [Carter; series creator] has a great idea for the new movie and I expect we'll be able to begin shooting in the next year or so."
Last year, Gillian Anderson suggested that the show might take place before the end of series nine, which would be a shame because it would either take some very clevre writing to work Mulder and Scully together when the show's timeline does not allow it, or it would mess up the chronology of the time-line (for the excact same reason). Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

From Dreamwatch Magazine - Written by Farscape creator Rockne S. O'Bannon, Peacekeeper Wars continues from the unresolved cliffhanger following the shows unexpected demise at the end of it's fourth year. Henson, a key figure in Farscapes history, said that they wanted to wrap up the end of final episode 'Bad Timing', but not close the door on Farscape completly.
"The mini-series begins with John Crichton and Aeryn Sun getting put back together after they were crystalised. The characters are now engaged to be married, expecting a baby and just want to settle down", Henson tells Dreamwatch reporter Kate Lloyd. "But the Scarrans and the Peacekeepers have started a huge intergalactic war and they're wiping out populations all over the place and both are trying to find Crichton because they beleive that he has the knowledge to create the ultimate weapon that would destroy the other side."
Shooting began in December 2003 and has been shrouded in secrecy since the production team did not want any of the story to leak. Although Peacekeeper War resolves all of the program's major plotlines, don't worry because it wont be the final Farscape adventure. With the semi-animated episode from season three, Revenging Angel, an animated series is posible, as is a motion picture.
The full artice is in the current issue (117) of Dreamwatch Magazine.

No parties involved have given any clear explanation as to why the change was made, but, Michael Jackson made the following comment in a press release on Monday (26th) "It is imperative that I have the full attention of those who are representing me."

Starship's 1985 hit "WE BUILT THIS CITY" dubbed "the single worst single ever constructed."
From Yahoo! News- USA TODAY, "We Built This City is the single worst single ever constructed, according to Blender's ranking of reeking tunes. The magazine's list of 'The 50 Worst Songs Ever,' which hits newsstands Tuesday in New York and Los Angeles and April 27 nationwide, distills the lamest popular rock-era records into one sonic landfill.
Starship's 1985 anthem, the runaway No. 1 stinker, 'seems to inspire the most virulent feelings of outrage,' editor Craig Marks says. 'It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism. It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s.'"

William Hung, famous from American Idol, loses his audition, gains a recording contract, and now becomes the foundation for a new reality show.
From LOS ANGELES (Reuters), "It's not over till the fat lady sings -- badly. The WB television network believes that if a bad singer like 'American Idol's' William Hung can become a pop culture sensation then it might have an entire TV series on its hands.
The broadcaster said on Thursday it will launch 'The WB's Superstar USA,' an already taped reality series in which the contestants were unaware of the true nature of the show -- that the judges are looking for 'singers' who do not really sing that well."
