'Ready for Love' pulled from NBC schedule

Ready for Love' pulled from NBC schedule after two episodes following low ratings 

Ready For Love Bachelor

NBC has pulled Ready for Love from its broadcast schedule after the new reality dating show's first two episodes delivered poor ratings. "It has not yet been determined when or where remaining episodes of Ready for Love will be aired," NBC said in a statement Friday.

Produced by actress Eva Longoria and hosted by Giuliana & Bill stars Giuliana Rancic and Bill Rancic, Ready for Love premiered April 9 and was airing two-hour episodes in the Tuesdays 9-11PM ET/PT time period.
However, Ready for Love's first two broadcasts delivered poor ratings even though it had The Voice -- the highest-rated program on NBC's schedule -- as its Tuesday night lead-in. Despite heavy promotion, Ready for Love's April 9 premiere averaged only 3.85 million viewers and an 1.6/4 rating/share in the Adults 18-49 ratings demographic -- an enormous dropoff from the 12.95 million viewers and 4.2/13 rating/share its The Voice lead-in delivered. Ready for Love's second episode delivered even worse ratings this week, averaging only 3.37 million viewers and an 1.3/4 rating/share in Adults 18-49. NBC will move Grimm, a drama series which currently airs on Friday nights, into the Tuesdays 10-11PM timeslot beginning April 30.
Ready for Love's first two episodes featured the show's three bachelors -- Benjamin "Ben" Patton, Tim Lopez and Ernesto Arguello -- each narrowing their pool of bachelorettes to eight women.

Justin Bieber's Hologram Enlisted For will.i.am's Futuristic '#thatPOWER' Video

 Bieber, will and his clones get their pop and lock on in clip for the new #willpower track.

Justin Bieber and Will.i.Am in "#thatPOWER" music video

will.i.am may have asked Justin Bieber to appear on his #willpower track "#thatPOWER," but he got a little help from Bieber's hologram for the just-released spacey video. The video doesn't have much of a story line but is all about setups that are meant to please the eye thanks to appearances from will, Bieber's hologram and a myriad of dancers. The fact that Bieber's cameo relies heavily on his hologram, and later on televised images of his face, makes sense given that he's currently on a world tour and probably couldn't make the multi-location shoot. While Bieber isn't the star of the show, Beliebers will be pleased that he pops up often enough to add one more player to will's futuristic team of performers. When Bieber isn't there, will and his dancers are doing "synchronized movement" anywhere their hearts desire — in traffic, on Japanese city streets, in office buildings and even on overpasses. The most visually stunning moment comes about midway, as will.i.am and his dancers get their groove on in a room with a mirrored floor as the lyrics of the song are projected on the walls in neon-colored lighting. will's fans may also appreciate a shot of the Black Eyed Peas frontman and his clones dancing on an escalator. The walls are mirrored, giving it all a kaleidoscope feel. "#thatPOWER" is one of the many tracks fans have previewed ahead of #willpower's April 23 release date. He also dropped "Scream & Shout" featuring Britney Spears and "Fall Down" featuring Miley Cyrus. Beliebers should also take note: This is the second music video in a week that Bieber has starred in. He dropped his "All Around the World" video last Friday. And while the clip for "#thatPOWER" is rather high-concept, "AATW" is more simplistic, featuring concert and behind-the-scenes footage of the 19-year-old as he travels, well, all around the world.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez in Norway at the Same Time

 Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez in Norway

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

 

Selena Gomez is in Oslo, Norway, right now—and so is Justin Bieber! Gomez was spotted getting off a plane at Gardermoen Airport at about 8:30 p.m. local time. She landed at about the same time that her ex-boyfriend was performing a concert in Oslo. No word on why Gomez has jetted to the Norwegian capital, but as far as we can make out she has no official business there. Bieber's next tour stop is in Denmark on Saturday. Gomez has been busy promoting her new single, "Come and Get It." She performed earlier this week at the MTV Movie Awards and Dancing With the Stars. She's scheduled to do the same on Late Night With David Letterman next Wednesday. Bieber and Gomez first broke up in early November. They have been spotted together a few times since then. Reps for both superstars declined to comment.

Fox hopes to turn Stiller's 'Walter Mitty' into 'Pi'-sized success

Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig

LAS VEGAS -- When 20th Century Fox unveiled footage of "Life of Pi" at CinemaCon last year, studio executives compared director Ang Lee to Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron. This time around, Fox devoted most of its presentation to its latest year-end awards hopeful, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," directed by and starring Ben Stiller. And when the studio's co-chairman, Jim Gianopulos, introduced Stiller to the crowd, this time he compared the star to Lee -- an association even Stiller seemed to find a bit over the top. "Yes, Ben Stiller and Ang Lee -- the two of us are constantly being compared," the filmmaker said as he walked on stage. "I think it started when Ang made 'Sense and Sensibility' and I made 'The Cable Guy.' Plus, we're both Asian and were bar mitzvah-ed in Israel." "Mitty," set for release this Christmas, stars Stiller as a Life magazine photo editor who forces himself out of his comfort zone as he traverses the globe in search of a missing negative. The $90-million production traveled from New York to Iceland to Greenland, and the beautiful scenery was one of the highlights of the footage shown to movie theater owners at the CinemaCon gathering on Thursday. "I think we all want love and adventure and excitement in our lives. That's why we're all here in Vegas, right?" Stiller kidded on stage, where he was joined by costar Kristen Wiig. "I hope it's funny but it's also serious, and it's epic and it's also small in places and it's kinda realistic but it's also sort of a fairy tale." That's a lot to wish for, but exhibitors indeed seemed pleased with the roughly 15 minutes of footage shown, gushing over how fantastic the film looked as they exited the Caesars Palace Colosseum. They were probably also on a bit of a high after seeing "The Heat" stars Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock bantering. "We're thrilled to be hosting CinemaCon," Bullock cracked. "I have always been a big fan of 'cinnamon,' " McCarthy followed. The two comic actresses then launched into a bit in which they compared themselves to famous on-screen pairings -- Robert Redford and Paul Newman, Bert and Ernie -- even Tom Hanks and his volleyball Wilson in "Cast Away." "I had never cared for anyone I've worked with," said McCarthy, "and at first on [this movie] I thought, 'Nope, nothing different here.' But two-thirds of the ways in I said, 'You're not terrible. You're not the worst.' " The actresses' buddy cop comedy played through the roof to exhibitors here Tuesday evening, indicating it could be McCarthy's second box-office hit of the year (following "Identity Thief") when it hits theaters in June.

Kristen Stewart's Snow White and the Huntsman

Happy sequels day! Universal just announced that the sequel to Kristen Stewart's Snow White and the Huntsman is officially a go with a 2015 release date. However, the studio has not said if the original cast or director Rupert Sanders will be back, too. Before the release of SWATH and her scandal with Sanders, KStew said she was game for a follow-up. "I would do it in a heartbeat," she told us about a year ago. "I know with the people involved it would only be done [because] it's very worthwhile and it's a good movie. We wouldn't just be cashing in." PHOTOS: Snow White and the Huntsman premiere pics And there's more! Universal also announced that Pitch Perfect will be getting a sequel in 2015.
