Fan Fatigue


Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber's "All Around The World" NBC special pulled poor numbers, indicating his fan base may be suffering from "Belieber" fatigue. "All Around The World" was aired to promote Bieber's new album "Believe" which is headed for number one on the Billboard charts next week. "Believe" will debut with estimated sales of 400,000 copies sold for the week.

Bieber hopes to get into acting in motion pictures, after his television debut on the show "CSI" which featured the singer getting lit up like a Christmas tree in a hail of bullets. In the mean time, Bieber remains on an international tour.

RETARDED NBC FIRES LEGEND SUE SIMMONS

****
WHAT THE F**K NBC!
****




The Famed Sue Simmons Video



Once again NBC has proven that they have no loyalty to any of their employees. After 32 years, they have fired Sue Simmons. Sue hosted the NBC newscast with another legend Chuck Scarborough. Together they gave the Big Apple a news team you could trust.

Sue was a real New Yorker who told it like it was and even admitted to having a few drinks before going on the air. She brought worldwide attention to herself when she used the F-Word live on the air, a event that maybe shocked the rest of the country, but not the people of New York. We loved Sue Simmons for being real.

I remember many times in the 80's when I would be slamming down drinks and right alongside of me was the famed Sue Simmons. She was real and a news source you could trust. Back in those days New York was more of a party town and every member of the press would be running to events and having a few.

The past few years NBC has been showing how their employees mean nothing to them. They prove it time after time. One good example was when NBC moved the Jerry Springer Show from Chicago to Connecticut for tax breaks, and employees that had been with the show for many years were given the boot with just about no severance. The only employees that seemed to walk away with any kind of money, were the ones who knew of a certain NBC vice president's cocaine parties and alcohol binges. I for one witnessed this wild vice president at a event at New York's Cutting Room. We also drove around NYC in a huge stretch Limo, paid for by NBC. It might be good to also point out, that NBC just does not seem to want to pay taxes at all. Their parent company General Electric paid no taxes in 2010. They made $14.2 billion in worldwide profits that year, including $5.1 billion in the United States — and paid exactly zero dollars in federal taxes. But this means nothing as the NBC executives live a lavish lifestyle at the cost of taxpayers.

But back to Sue Simmons. She will surely be picked up by another network because we trust Sue Simmons and no one can deliver the news like her. The team of Sue Simmons and Chuck Scarborough could never be re-created anywhere, but Sue is such a talent, we are sure she will be heading onto bigger and better things.

Good Luck Sue, New Yorkers Love You!

Kristi Yamaguchi’s Dream Big, Little Pig!



Olympic gold-medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi has added another accomplishment to her already impressive résumé: New York Times bestselling author!


Yamaguchi’s first children’s picture book, Dream Big, Little Pig! debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list for the week ending March 19.


“I am so thrilled and in awe that Dream Big, Little Pig! has achieved this honor,” Yamaguchi said. “I had always hoped that children would fall in love with Poppy the Pig like our family has.”


Dream Big, Little Pig! was inspired by Yamaguchi’s lifelong motto “always dream,” which has carried her to Olympic gold, to a winning turn on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and, most importantly, as mother and role model to her two daughters. “Having two young children of my own, I realize how important early childhood literacy is in determining a child’s educational success,” Yamaguchi said. “Therefore, a portion of the proceeds will benefit my Always Dream Foundation’s early childhood literacy programs, which support underserved communities.” Independent publisher Sourcebooks is thrilled to be partnered with Kristi Yamaguchi in spreading her inspirational message to “dream big” through the charming character of Poppy the Pig, brought to life by illustrator Tim Bowers.


“We believe Dream Big, Little Pig! is nothing short of a classic,” said Sourcebooks publisher and CEO Dominique Raccah. “It’s charming and fun, everything you want in a picture book—and it’s a great read-aloud! Kristi and Poppy share an inspiring story, BIG dreams, and now the rest of us can share those dreams too."


Sourcebooks is set to publish a second book with Yamaguchi, due out in Spring 2012, that will continue to follow Poppy in her adventures.


“It was a delight working with Kristi on her debut picture book, and I'm thrilled to see young readers embracing her message to always dream,” said Rebecca Frazer, acquisition editor, Jabberwocky. “I'm looking forward to reconnecting with Kristi on her second book and following Poppy on another lively adventure!”



Dream Big, Little Pig! features Poppy the Pig, who has big dreams—lots of them! But following her dreams isn’t always easy, and whenever Poppy thinks it might be time to give up, her family reminds her to “dream big!” While on a “pig’s day out,” she has so much fun ice-skating that she doesn’t even notice those around her who think pigs can’t skate…and without even knowing it, she achieves her dream while doing something she loves! Poppy realizes she can succeed at anything as long as she believes in herself and has fun doing it! Kristi Yamaguchi is an Olympic gold medalist and world champion who knows about dreaming big. The motto “always dream” serves as Kristi’s personal inspiration, as well as the name of her charitable foundation for children. This philosophy has contributed to Kristi’s success on and off the ice, and she aspires to instill it in the hearts of children. Following her figure skating victories at the 1992 Winter Olympics and World Championships, Kristi embarked on a successful professional career that went nonstop for more than a decade. This past year, Kristi Yamaguchi’s Friends and Family TV special aired on NBC for the fourth straight year, and she became the first woman since the debut season to claim the trophy on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. One of her lasting legacies will be her Always Dream Foundation, which was founded in 1996 and has been an active fundraiser and supporter of children’s charities in the San Francisco Bay Area, sponsoring, among other events, annual Christmas toy drives.
