So, the holidays are over. New year with a clean slate. A slate soon to be completely sullied by amoral behavior, profitable lying, fake relationships and sub-par remakes. It my favourite time. Like looking at a pristine canvas while holding a bucket of lead paint, toe-nail clippings and dead rats and wondering where to begin.

So what really happened to Russell Brand and Katy Perry's forever-love? "Sources close to Katy Perry and Russell Brand tell TMZ ... the couple was infatuated with each other when they tied the knot, but the honeymoon ended very quickly. According to our sources, Katy and Russell were initially head over heels for each other – each fascinated to be with someone who was an extreme opposite. But we're told the two began a regime of constant bickering after they got married - often in front of people at clubs and awards shows. They're both very stubborn and neither would easily back down. Our sources tell us ... because of the friction and their schedules, they never spent long periods of time with each other. One big bone of contention  ... Russell was much more of a homebody than Katy.  Katy loved going out and partying, while Russell (who is sober) didn't enjoy the scene at all. We're told he would often insist on leaving places early and asking her to come with ... which would trigger an argument. But we're told ... as the dust settles, neither hates the other - far from it.   There's no bad blood between them, and neither of them believes the other cheated. As one person put it, "It was just a bad pairing."

No more SYTYCD result shows Deadline: "Fox’s summer staple So You Think You Can Dance, which was renewed for a ninth season in October, will undergo a format change, scaling down from two shows a week to one. “Fox have canceled the results show so I will have to change the format of SYTYCD,” the show’s co-creator/executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe tweeted today. “At least we have another season at the end of May.” The move comes days before SYTYCD‘s first Season 9 auditions, which will be held next week in Atlanta. “I’m certainly not mad at Fox — they have supported SYTYCD for 9 seasons,” Lythgoe wrote. “With the help of (Fox’s head of alternative) Mike Darnell I think we have some great new ideas.” SYTYCD, whose most recent eight season was down in the ratings from Season 7, will not be the first competition show to air once a week. Most recently, NBC’s The Voice started off that way before expanding to 2 nights following its early success."
