• Bravo Holds Focus Groups to Decide Whether or Not to Film 'RHONJ'

    Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is currently in a real state of flux. With series veteran Teresa Giudice scheduled to report to prison in less than a week, executives are left scrambling to figure out what they should do with the show. Everything is being considered: bringing back former fan favorites, looking for new talent and even putting the show on hiatus for a year and figuring out what to do with it later. These are all up for consideration, and apparently Bravo has now decided that a little fan involvement in making the final decision could not hurt. According to a report by Radar Online, focus groups are the way to go. "Production is currently holding focus groups about moving forward without Teresa. They are trying to determine what the public perception was of the new cast and if any casting changes need to be made in regards to the new additions last season. If Bravo finds out that the public perception of the current cast is positive, they will likely begin filming in February; however, they are also exploring the option of putting on the show on a hiatus until the fall. This would allow them to play around with the cast if need be and film around the normal time frame the show films in, which is typically the fall," says a source for the show.

  • Sony's Salary Leaks Have Made Contract Negotiations Nearly Impossible

All the focus has been on The Interview, finally getting it into theaters and then what if any, repercussions would be. Sony still has to contend with a bunch of angry employees and that is a situation that's not going away any time soon.
