News Ticker: 50 Cent, BMG and Coldplay

12/24/08, 9:50 am EST

  • 50 Cent’s MTV reality show The Money and the Power lacked The Audience and the Demographics, thus the show was scrapped from MTV’s “empowering,” music-less new schedule. According to network’s president, the station is looking to “focus less on loud and silly hooks,” which spelled doom for 50’s first foray into TV.

  • BMG’s mail-order music service, famed for its “12 for the price of one” and “10 for the price of a half of one” deals, will stop accepting new members. While its suspected the service might shut down completely, the company says they’re still “very actively engaged with our existing member base and will be making more changes to serve them.”
  • Coldplay are giving their fans the gift of remix this Christmas, making the Thin White Duke remix of their Satriani-esque hit “Viva La Vida” a free download over at their Website. The band also posted a brief video of an instrumental live rendition of “Jingle Bells” the band performed with Simon Pegg at a recent concert.

Yes i agree, 50’s show was good and i dont belive that the ratings were low, its just the typical corporate bullshit that exsists today, I live in canada and slowly but surley much music which is canada’s version of MTV is moving towards less music more reality bullshit, it aint even fing reality its all scripted anyway, well i dont know what to say anymore other than that the world is being taken over by the corporation’s belive me ppl when i say that the new world order is here, we all need to check ourselves instead of letting these corporations brainwash us, thanx

What The F***?
Why Doe 50’s Show Get Canceled?
At Least 50 Dropped A Little Knowledge On The Show… I Can’t Be Too Made At MTV Though, At Least They Canceled TRL, Their Music Was Terrible.

Bring Back 50

I never had love for MTV. 50’s show was the only reason I turned to that damn station. Now that MTV decided to cancel his show, I have decided to cancel MTV from my remote control. MTV YOU SUCK!

Galen Henn | 12/27/2008, 8:16 pm EST

The show is actually interesting and dramatic; its more informative than their “reality dating” games. The issue here is money; MTV doesn’t want to pay for it, or else they would actually release the neilson viewing numbers to show how poorly the show performs compared to tila tequila or its other bs shows.

angel lito | 12/28/2008, 6:40 pm EST

I don’t get mtv. maybe they prefer some fake misleading show to replace it. this is just like the issue with michael jackson years ago about showing african american material. so much for low ratings. mtv needs to grow up

lol | 12/28/2008, 10:32 pm EST

1. mtv sucks I don’t care

2. remix of viva la vida must be a slap in a face to Satriani. I love it. haha

Stefanie Shelton | 12/29/2008, 4:22 am EST

I really enjoyed 50 Cent’s show, and don’t understand why it would be dropped – it is really entertaining, and a must see each week for me and all my friends. MTV hasn’t held my interest much in the past, and will have to drop them like they did the show.

jessica | 12/29/2008, 7:50 pm EST

his show was freakin horrible and he aint diddy! not everybody can pull it off. i see he did get his teeth done though

vanillac | 12/30/2008, 2:20 pm EST

i can’t believe they dropped the show- i loved it and it was the only show on mtv that was worth anything. what a shame. first trl left and now this…just dumb.

marquita | 12/30/2008, 9:52 pm EST

i loved the show

Joshua V | 12/31/2008, 2:33 am EST
