Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

  • qsnews.jpg
  • Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta was busted this weekend on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.  With all of the non-traditional advertising for movies going on, studio executives remain non-plussed and are now planning to have Liotta wear a special orange jumpsuit emblazoned with an ad for the star’s new movie, Wild Hogs, while he picks up garbage along some of LA’s busiest highways.
  • The British band Bloc Party stopped a concert after lead singer Kele Okereke was hit with a coin thrown by an audience member. After Okereke was checked out and deemed fit to continue, the band did return to finish the concert with no further issues. After the concert the band released a statement saying “Look, if you are going to throw stuff at us, throw naked women.”
  • DC Comics has announced that they will follow up its hugely successful weekly series 52 with another weekly called Countdown.  When news of the pending series hit, stock prices for Frito Lay and Pepsi Cola plummeted as many investors speculated that geek money will now be spent on the upcoming weekly and not on the traditional geek dietary staples of Cheetos and Mountain Dew.
  • And finally, file this one under “It’s About Damn Time.”  NBC has finally shot the dying dog that is Studio 60, announcing late Monday that drama will not be returning to its Monday night slot – or any slot, for that mater.  NBC is expecting to field numerous calls from angry viewers demanding that “they not cancel the show because we absolutely ADORE Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.”
