“American Idol” alum Haley Reinhart, who was arrested last July on a battery charge after allegedly punching a bouncer during an altercation at a Palatine, Illinois, bar, has been found guilty in the case, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Reinhart, who placed third in the 10th season of the singing competition, was ordered to pay approximately $650 in fines and court costs. If the singer doesn’t run afoul of the law in the next two years, the conviction will be struck from the record.
The singer testified during Monday’s trial. However, Judge James Karahalos found her testimony “evasive, argumentative and sometimes implausible,” according to the Tribune.


ITV is chasing debt to a chaines version of.....The Voice.
The British broadcaster, which owns John De Mol’s Dutch producer and distributor, has revealed that it is “vigorously” pursuing £30M (US$41M) from Chinese company Talent Television and Film Co after a breakdown in the relationship between the two companies.
The Voice ran for four seasons on broadcaster Zhejiang, produced by Star China but ITV struck a deal with Talent Television and Film Co in 2016. It’s understood that the show never aired as part of the Talent deal following a breakdown in relations.
While ITV banked £37M of revenue and profit in 2016 relating to the four-year licence deal, it is now chasing the Chinese company for £30M in unpaid money and has taken back the licence for the show.
ITV’s full-year financial results show that it has posted an “one-off exceptional cost” relating to The Voice in China and has submitted an insurance claim in order to ensure that it gets back the money.
“Following a breach of the agreement by Talent as they had not fulfilled their payment obligations, we have taken back the licence for The Voice of China. ITV is pursuing Talent vigorously for the £30 million still due under the agreement.

Back to the news.


Bradley hits the Bullseye!



Bradley Walsh has spun wheels and chased quiz heads, but he may do Bullseye?



I meant the UK version.






Much better.


As reported in The Mirrora source said:
Channel 5 are over the moon with how Blind Date has gone. Despite having a new host the old format has still done well with viewers. They are now knocking around a few old classics such as Bullseye with the idea of bringing them back.
As for the producers' ideal choice for a host? Bradley Walsh is believed to be the frontrunner.

We like new segments and one of them is.......

Talk is ______


ABC has picked up "Sundays with Alec Baldwin," a new one-hour talk show hosted by Oscar nominee and Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin, featuring one-on-one conversations with some of the most interesting people from American pop culture. From ABC and Baldwin's El Dorado Pictures, a sneak peek will air SUNDAY, MARCH 4 (11:35 p.m. EST/10:00 p.m. PST), following the 90th Oscars, on The ABC Television Network.
"I'm excited about this show and grateful to ABC for taking a chance on me in what is, admittedly, a crowded field," said Baldwin. "I've enjoyed doing my podcast for WNYC and look forward to the challenge of doing a show on camera."
"Alec's intellect, wit and wealth of life experience afford him a voice and perspective we haven't seen before in this format," said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment. "When we shot the pilot, we knew immediately we had something special that we couldn't wait to share. We are excited to be working on a series that showcases Alec as one of today's most compelling conversationalists and highlights the type of intimate discussions that he has captured on his podcast for years."

Wall of late night stuff



Although CHris Hardwick is still doing his thing on "The Wall," he wanted to explain why @Midnight had to end. It spawned many imitator hasshtag games on Twitter and they still do today.



Smart and skinny. Wait, what?



It's official. Mark Labett from the GSN version of The Chase is now skinny.

In fact, he said he's even lost so much weight that the folk behind The Chase have had to buy him a new suit for the show - something he said was his 'first target' after he started cracking down on his eating habits.

He also proudly shared the news with actress Lisa Riley - who underwent a dramatic weight loss regime a few years ago and has lost a pretty amazing 12 stone in the process - who seemed made up with his progress.

Labbett is known on the show for his towering frame, but he recently admitted his signature size has also been the subject of some pretty unwelcome health diagnoses - having been told that he has diabetes.


'Memba This? 

Meghan Markle


According to Marie Claire, Chrissy Teigen was once a DOND model. 

During an Ellen DeGeneres Show show appearance, Teigen revealed she was once a suitcase girl and joked that her life could have turned out very differently. 
"I tell John all the time. That could be me. I could be Princess Harry,” the Lip Sync Battle host joked.
“That’s not how that works,” DeGeneres laughed.
Oh and Meghan Markle was on there, too.
