Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• NBC has announced its Fall Schedule and a couple of high profile shows did not make the cut. Due to declining ratings, both Crossing Jordan and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip have been cancelled to make way for new shows. According to network sources, the new shows will be “mainly stolen ideas from other networks and whatever successful European show hasn’t been re-done.”

• Smashing Pumpkins will headline 17 concerts in two cities to promote its upcoming CD. The shows will be split between San Francisco, CA and Asheville, NC. When asked why the band would choose Asheville for a series of shows, lead singer/songwriter Billy Corgan said “Let’s face it. There ain’t shit to do in that town so it’s almost a guarantee that the shows will sell out.”

• It has been announced that Guy Ritchie will write and direct a new movie called RocknRolla.  The movie is said to be about several members of the London criminal underground all competing for a multi million dollar payday, and is being billed as an action comedy. Ritchie has said he will cast the film entirely using his and wife Madonna’s adopted children.
