Well...that's news I guess. Not sure I am looking forward to it or not. This show to me has gone so far downhill that I don't even really enjoy watching it anymore. It has gone from a bit interesting and entertaining to completely ridiculous.
"Heroes" fans aren't entirely in the clear yet, though: A renewal isn't a deal until it's a deal. If the show takes a sudden dire ratings turn, the network still has time to reevaluate this strategy. But barring something dramatic happening, NBC is not deterred by the current ratings and will bring back "Heroes" for a fourth round.
Isn't a surprise at all that the ratings are plummeting. The show is just getting bad. Characters aren't even enjoyable to follow anymore. Other than Sylar there just isn't much to care about there since characters like Nathan Patrelli seem to be split personalities and doing things their character never would have done even at the beginning to THIS season.
Plot holes and inconsistencies everywhere.
Most of the characters are useless. Claire is getting to be just annoying. That's hard to do when you are that sexy too whether she is Solo Slim, or not. Her character is just plain silly. She goes from the focal point in season one with the "Save the Cheerleader" BS to being a complete moron.
Wow...a guy that can breather underwater. That IS entertainment! Ugh...this show needs a whole lot to repair itself since the writer's strike.

Beatles McCartney, Starr to play N.Y. charity show
I guess it is flashback week for the music industry. Just after hearing aobut Michael Jackson performing for 120 shows in London, I see that Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr are ready to perform together again as well.
Former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will perform at a New York concert next month to help raise money for a program that encourages troubled children to meditate, organizers said. Wow.
Sure it is great there will be a concert with these legendary Beatles, but what kind of cause is this? I'm sure it is pretty easy to meditate in their luxury hotel rooms, but meditation for troubled kids is a cause now?
The event will benefit filmmaker David Lynch's eponymous foundation, which says it has provided scholarships since 2005 for more than 60,000 students, parents, and teachers around the world to learn to meditate.
The lineup also includes Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder, blues-folk musician Ben Harper and techno star Moby. Tickets, priced between $79.50 and $504.50, will go on sale on Monday.
Either way that's a pretty kick ass line up.

Michael Jackson Announces Concert Dates
The infamous King of Pop in more ways than just music announced yesterday that he would be playing his :final curtain call" in London this year. Jackson, 50, revealed the details of the concerts at a news conference in London, where he said he would perform 10 shows at the O2 Arena, beginning July 8. “When I say this is it, I mean this is it,” Mr. Jackson said, according to Reuters. “I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear.”
Jacko hasn't performed since 2002 where he held a benefit concert. He appeared on stage in 2006 at the World Music Awards where some audience members echoed boos.
I wonder how successful this tour might be. I still assume that many can forgo their personal thoughts of Jacko and just enjoy his music, but the backlash has to be huge for such a tour. Pulling out the mold killer to dust off his old CDs might get a few back in the mood for such a concert. His music is still recognized as some of the greatest ever, but the man himself is more or less considered, for lack of a better phrase, "freak show".
Jackson has been accused, and paid off families in connection with being accused of molesting underage boys, outbid Paul McCartney for his own songs in a highly publicized fight, he has stiffed financial backers in recent years, and has changed his appearance so drastically through plastic surgery in his lifetime that he is almost unrecognizable at this point. He's even making news as he is suing to get some memorabilia back. Still...hearing Thriller, Beat it, Billy Jean, and other classic pop tunes will surely bring back memories of the better times for die hard fans.
