E! Becomes My Hero By Banning Heidi & Spencer Pratt From Their Network
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
E! has declared a moratorium on all news items relating to MTV reality stars Heidi and Spencer.
Dish on the newlyweds has been especially plentiful in recent weeks, thanks to their hijinks on the NBC summer reality series I’m A Celebrity…, as well as an interview gone wrong with The TODAY Show’s Al Roker.
E! says its done with The Hills resident villains. A whooping 94% of E! fans replied “yes” when asked if they had had enough of Heidi and Spencer Pratt.
E! is now declaring itself a Speidi-Free news source. The change was announced on E! News as well as the network’s website on Monday. Beginning June 22nd, E! will no longer offer updates on The Pratts.
“Barring any actual news (e.g., she gets knocked up, he falls off a cliff or-heaven help us-her album goes to No. 1), consider this their very last post,” E! said in a blog posting Monday evening.

Lady GaGa "Love Game" Music Video Banned In Austrailia
Posted on 08. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Lady Gaga is too hot for TV–in Australia at least. The eccentric dance stars latest sex-fueled release, “Love Game,” has been banned from Channel Ten’s signature music video program, Video Hits.
According to Channel Ten censors, the video so racy they can’t even edit it. Network bosses seem to take particular offense was the song’s chorus, which goes “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick”
The censors also objected to lyrics including “I’m educated in sex” and “I want it bad.”
“It’s pretty rare we get a pop clip that’s sexual to the point there’s almost no way we can edit it without destroying the original intent of the video,” Video Hits producer Ben Fletcher said Tuesday.
“It’s not just the lyrics and the visuals, if you were to judge it just upon either of those it might not be so bad,” he added. “It’s the cumulative impact of all those things together. We have been advised it would be very difficult to edit it down to PG, so we have made the call not to play it.”
