Stewie Saves The Show

Seth MacFarlane messed up announcing the Reality Show Host Emmy Award winner because he had the wrong microphone.

The 'Family Guy' creator took to the stage at last night's ceremony to announce 'Dancing with the Stars' presenter Tom Bergeron had won the prize but suffered a mishap when he spoke into a switched-off mic.



After he found the correct microphone, he joked in the voice of 'Family Guy' baby Stewie Griffin: "This is what happens when you don't come to rehearsal. That's gonna be on YouTube."

He later poked fun at himself on twitter.

He tweeted: "Oh, THERE'S the f**king mike. (sic)"

Britney Spears Bans Pretty Girls & Booze

Britney Spears has banned alcohol backstage at 'X Factor'.

Britney - who joined the panel of Simon Cowell's music talent hunt alongside Demi Lovato this year - has made sure she will not be tempted by booze, with her team banning the possibility of her accessing it.

According to USMagazine.com, her representatives said in a note: "Very important. We require you to empty minibars of all alcohol. And no gifts of wine or any other alcoholic beverages, please."

Drink is not the only thing Britney - who is also joined by L.A. Reid on the judging panel - is believed to have banned from the show; pretty women are also not allowed backstage.

A source said recently: "Britney has stipulated that none of the backstage staff working with her are too pretty or stylish."

However, the singer claims she is having a great time on the program, even though she did want to quit after shooting the first episode.

She said: "I was really nervous. You have all these people behind you and you know they're rooting on you. It's a really exciting, electrifying thing to do."

Bye Bye Jersey Shore

'Jersey Shore' has been axed.

MTV confirmed the forthcoming sixth season of the reality TV show - which will premiere in October - will be its final series, but the network is to commemorate the end of the program with a one-hour special entitled 'Gym, Tan, Look Back', on September 6.



The episode will feature interviews with the 'Jersey Shore' cast and a sneak peek of the sixth series, plus there will be a look back at some of the show's highlights since it began in December 2009.

The show has inspired a number of spin-offs including 'Geordie Shore' - the English version of the program, which takes place in Newcastle, north east England - and 'Jersey Shore' stars Snooki and Jenni 'JWoww' Farley have gone on to create their own reality show, 'Snooki & JWoww'.

The news comes after Snooki - whose real name is Nicole Polizzi - gave birth to her and fiance Jionni LaValle's son Lorenzo Dominic on Sunday, and she recently admitted her previous wild antics had taken a backseat while she prepared for motherhood.



What's more, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino - one of the main men in the program - is currently starring in British reality TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother' and fellow 'Jersey Shore' star Pauly D, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio, has also been in his own spin-off show, 'The Pauly D Project'.

'Jersey Shore' follows the wild lives of eight housemates spending their summers mainly in Jersey Shore, New Jersey, but the cast have also spent time in Miami Beach and Italy in the second and fourth seasons respectively.
