November 2, 2009Was “What Not to Wear” with Stacey + Clinton cancelled
October 24, 2009TLC Friday night show “What Not to Wear” with Stacey and Clinton no longer is airing–yet TLC hasn’t announced or explained what happened. That has infuriated loyal viewers, who are airing their grievances on the Facebook page. Many comments suggest that loyal viewers have given up on the show!
If anyone knows any of the juicy gossip on what happened to the show, please post a comment!
UPDATE: Although there’s no explanation from TLC, it appears that the show will come back some time in 2010. Repeats of old shows are on everyday at noon. This is the worst PR job by TLC. If you want to know how to alienate loyal viewers, just leave them in the dark and tell them nothing about why the show is not airing in 2009. If you still are a loyal fan of the show after TLC has left you in the dark, bless your soul!

YouTube suspends the account of PS22 chorus — why?
July 11, 2009News: I am sad to report that YouTube has suspended the account of PS22 chorus, the wonderful bunch of 5th graders from PS22 who inspired Tori Amos, Stevie Nicks, and other singers with their amazing renditions of the musicians’ own songs. The kids’ videos generated over 7 million views, and got the kids on Nightline, Good Morning America, and other national TV shows. Here is the link to the blog post from the teacher and music director Gregg Breinberg.
Analysis: Unbelievable. Is this suspension at YouTube’s own initiative? Or did one of the copyright holders complain? Usually, you can see a claim of copyright asserted, with the copyright holder’s name, for removed videos that received DMCA notices on YouTube. The teacher says that, being very “diplomatic” about the ordeal, the YouTube suspension was all a “mistake” by YouTube, but all of the old videos are lost (with their 7 million views count). The teacher is starting another YouTube channel. In any event, this is very sad. How can children learning how to sing well be a “terms of use” violation, YouTube?
UPDATE: SchoolTube, a different site for schools, has all of the videos — click here. Also, the teacher has started a new YouTube channel - click here. Here’s my favorite song, Landslide, the second one performed in front of Stevie Nicks:
