The entertainment industry finally implodes. Live. With voting.

Well, that's it.

The entertainment world has, to this Carpathians eyes, finally gone mad and decided to give up on even the pretence of making any effort at all.

I take no joy on reporting that Eon Productions, the owners of the James Bond franchise has finally decided on the next 007 film. It will be a remake of "Casino Royale".

Let that sink in for a moment. A Bond film remake by the Bond people as the next new Bond film.

I realise that the gadgets, girls and good one-liners style of kiss-kiss bang-bang movie isn't to everyones taste these days but it's always been something you could rely on, even if only for a Christmas or holiday watch and a great set-piece or two.

The fields of TV and music don't fare much better - actually in some ways if the Bond film is digging up a grave metaphorically then this next news is pissing into it and dancing on it afterwards.

Two new shows slated for this summer, "R U the Girl with T-Boz and Chilli," airing on UPN and produced by FOX Television Studios, and "INXS Rock Star," the latest Mark Burnett concoction that is likely CBS-bound, will televise the "American Idol"-style auditions these bands are having to replace their deceased bandmates.

Again, I'll draw your attention to something - replace their deceased bandmates. On TV. As an entertainment show. With voting.

Do you know, one day people will watch old episodes of "Friends" as highbrow art and discuss how wonderful the art direction was on "Eastenders" back in the golden age of television.

Vote not to vote on these things, kids, otherwise we'll have brought it on ourselves.
