The Justin Files, 3/21/08

Wanna sue Oprah? Get in line
Another day, another person suing Oprah. Remember the Saturday Night Live skit where Oprah's audience members go mental and start stampeding and ripping each other's limbs off?


A woman is claiming that is more or less what happened to her when she attended an Oprah taping in 2006. She says that when the studio doors opened, she was stampeded and pushed down the stairs by crazed fans. She's suing Oprah's Harpo Productions for more than $50,000.


Finally, a fresh idea on TV
Just in case the sarcasm didn't come across, yes, that's a sarcastic headline.

So here's the pitch for the Beverly Hills 90210 update I told you about the other day, "a high school principal moves his family from Kansas to Beverly Hills to take a job at West Beverly High".

So basically we played Mad Libs with the original show, "a family from (Blue Collar State) moves to Beverly Hills to (Social Position) at West Beverly High".

Glad to see we're coming up with new ideas here.


Quick Hits
* Point teen sensations The Jonas Brothers are working on two projects for The Disney Channel. One will be a reality show following their current tour. The other will be a scripted comedy called J.O.N.A.S where the brothers will play teenage spies.

* Next Tuesday, Point rockers Fall Out Boy will become the first band to play all seven continents in less than 9 months when they rock the roof off a research station in Antarctica. Hopefully the roof will stay on, I hear it's a bit chilly there this time of year.
