Simpsons 20th anniversary and all things yellow at Fox
11 minutes ago
Fox network will morph into a very Simpsons yellow to mark the 20th anniversary of the animation series. The graphical elements at Fox properties will turn yellow for a week on January 3 to pay tribute to the much-loved quirky set of characters created by Matt Groening. Simpsons yellow stunts at the network are tipped to include yellow on-air graphics, social networking pages, anchors wearing yellow ties and anything else that could possibly be more zany. The frivolity is in fitting with the New Year's season and the nuttiness of Homer and his family. On January 10, a one-hour documentary special directed by Morgan Spurlock will feature. The Simpsons will air its 450th

Howard Stern at crossroads with Sirius
1 hour ago
Ahead of 2010 contract talks, Howard Stern, 55, is threatening to leave Sirius Xm Radio Inc. Satellite provider Sirius gave America's most famous shock jock its most lucrative ever contract: a five-year deal in 2006 that paid him $500million in cash and stocks. Market conditions now mean Stern will find it harder to command the same level of contract/salary. Sirius has absorbed the only other satellite competitor, Xm, while budgets at free radio stations have shrunk in the tight economy.
