The end of the year means the television networks take a look back on the previous 12 months and analyze those numbers. Apparently, when it comes to news, Fox News not only crushed its competition, but this is actually the 13th year in a row that it is America's top cable news network.According to a report by Deadline, Fox News is doing great among all the cable networks as well.As 2014 ends, FNC celebrates its 13th consecutive year as the most-watched cable news network, though it, too, has had its disappointments. Overall, FNC is down 4 percent in total viewers — 1.05 million — the same percent in news demo viewers, though it finished laps ahead of its competition in both metrics, Deadline said.FNC rings out the year ranked No. 4 among ad-supported, basic-cable networks in overall primetime audiences, behind ESPN, USA Network and TNT. It also ranks No. 4 in total. CNN and MSNBC are way back in the 20s and 30s, said Deadline. -
BBC Drops Scandalous Documentary on Royals After Prince Charles's Attorney Gets Involved
A new documentary called "Reinventing the Royals" has originally been scheduled to premiere on BBC this coming weekend, but because of Prince Charles's overly aggressive legal team, it will likely never see the light of day. Apparently, the royal family originally believed the project was going to take a standard look at how the media and monarchy generally worked together. Instead, the project quickly began to shed light on some of the more sinister actions of the royals, and it is a view they would prefer the general public not have."Reinventing the Royals" supposedly focuses primarily on the time after Princess Diana's tragic death in 1997. It was when Prince Charles was the least liked or respected by the British people because of his treatment of his ex-wife. He felt it necessary to reinvent himself so the public would see him as a good father to Princes William and Harry. He also wanted to sway the public perception of the woman who came between him and Diana: Camilla Parker-Bowles. Back then, Parker-Bowles was having things thrown at her when she was out in public and Charles's goal was to get people to leave her alone. -
Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez Make a Rare Public Appearance After Divorce Rumors
Halle Berry has only been married to Olivier Martinez since July of 2013 and the majority of their union has been riddled with gossip. Their son, Maceo Martinez, was born last fall and by the time he was just a few months old, rumors were rampant about Berry and Martinez living apart. The couple also has tried to keep their relationship private so making public appearances have never really been their thing. Perhaps that's why it was so surprising to see them out and about over the weekend. -

Soap Star Katherine Kelly Lang's Stint on Italian 'DWTS' Not at All What She Imagined
Sometimes things that sound like a fantastic opportunity end up being pretty lousy, even if you are a celebrity. "The Bold & the Beautiful's" Katherine Kelly Lang recently found that out when she decided to join the cast of the Italian version of "Dancing with the Stars." Lang decided to take a three-month leave from the soap she has been on for more than 25 years in favor of trying something completely new and out of her element.Lang recently talked to "TV Guide's" Michael Logan about the experience and, as it turns out, she might wish that she had passed on what seemed like a great opportunity."I thought it would be fun to go over and compete on a dance program. [Laughs] Well, I was wrong! It turned out to be more of a reality show with dance involved and they really want to provoke you. They want to see your reactions. They want to see tears and anger. And they really want to see you fire back some retorts, which is so not my style. I don't like reality shows at all so, when I realized what was really going on, I was taken aback. I think maybe they thought they'd hired my character. They kept calling me 'Brooke.' I kept saying, 'My name is Kelly!' They had cameras on us during rehearsal at all times but they didn't show my injury on the air — in fact, they wanted to pretend it never happened. So when I was talking to the judges, I had to bring up my injury myself, which made it look like I was playing the pity card. [Laughs] I was, like, 'This is not happening!' said Lang of the experience. -
Chris Rock Was Tired of Being Married, Now Faces Custody Battle
When it was first announced that Chris Rock and his wife of 19 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, had split, it sounded like things might be as amicable as these things ever can be. It is a marriage that has had issues in the past, with the couple splitting up once before about eight years ago. Compton-Rock issued a kind of weird statement that referenced her work while confirming the split, then we heard she has been keeping the couple's two daughters from Rock and, well, this is starting to sound pretty messy.Rock reportedly filed official documents in a New Jersey court to dissolve the marriage last Tuesday, Dec. 23, and according to a report by TMZ it matters to him that people know it was his decision to pull the plug on the relationship. He is also pushing for joint custody while Compton-Rock is reportedly looking for sole custody of their children.Sources close to Rock have said that he is a great and an involved father, so much so that even while promoting his current movie, "Top Five," his work schedule had to be built around taking his daughters to school and then picking them up later in the day. That hardly sounds like the kind of guy you cut out of your kids's lives, and it kind of feels like she is trying to use the kids as a way to punish Rock, doesn't it? -
Gia Giudice Filming a Reality Show While Her Mom Teresa Prepares for Prison
Apparently, if you are part of the Giudice family, then being a part of a reality show makes sense. Teresa Giudice rose to fame thanks in part to her spot on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and, in an ironic twist, it also was probably her undoing. The desire to keep up appearances led Teresa and her husband, Joe Giudice, to fraudulent behavior that will result in prison time for both of them as punishment. As she is getting ready to report to prison in under a week, 13-year-old Gia Giudice is now filming a show of her own.In October, we first learned about Gia being part of an all-girl group called 3KT. The girls have put out two videos so far and, according to a report by "E! News," they have also had cameras trailing them. A source close to Gia explains:"It will be all about her group, 3KT. They've been filming already for two months. So far, the footage is really fun. Once the pilot is completed, they'll start shopping it to the networks. All the girls's families are in it here and there. But it's not a show about the grownups, it's all about the girls. Everyone's very excited about it." -
Kate Middleton Making Country House in Anmer Hall Her Main Residence
When Kate Middleton and Prince William settled into their new apartment at Kensington Palace in September 2013, they had hoped that having their young family based in London would be the best move possible. Instead, it has made them fair game for every member of the royal family who feels like stopping in, and it also has meant that Middleton has been too close to her built-in nemesis Camilla Parker-Bowles. Several months ago, the couple began renovating their country home at Anmer Hall with the intention of making it their primary residence.Rather than having her parenting style under Queen Elizabeth II's daily microscope, Middleton deciding that raising little Prince George in the country with more freedom was in his best interest. Once it was confirmed that the couple was expecting baby No. 2, the need to distance themselves from the chaos of city life became even greater.According to a new report by "People" magazine, Middleton is fully expected to make Anmer Hall her primary residence with her children. While William will certainly be with his young family the majority of the time, he will also likely be stationed out of Kensington Palace for the sake of the family business. Middleton and her brother and sister had a great childhood in the country, and the duchess seems to be determined to give her children a similar kind of upbringing as the one her parents gave her. -
Caroline Manzo's Return to 'RHONJ' Hasn't Been Confirmed, But She Already Has an Issue with Amber Marchese
The future of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is not certain, as Teresa Giudice, one of the main stars, is getting ready to serve a 15-month prison sentence. There have been rumors that former cast member and fan favorite Caroline Manzo may return in the interim. Apparently, Bravo execs realize that they need a heavy hitter if they want to do another season because the current cast lineup is not exactly going to grab viewers. If Manzo decides to return, it looks like she already has a bone to pick with Amber Marchese.It was recently confirmed that Caroline had finally reconciled with her sister, Dina Manzo, who is also a "RHONJ" cast member. Dina and Marchese have had some major issues in recent months, so it was more than a little coincidental when, upon meeting Marchese, Caroline was ice-cold. According to a source for Radar Online, there is a pretty decent chance that Caroline's behavior was intended as a display of support for her sister. -

Families of the 162 passengers aboard AirAsia Flight 8501 are grieving this morning, as it has been confirmed that the wreckage has been found in the ocean about 6 miles from the Airbus's last-known location. About halfway into the two-hour flight, the crew encountered extremely bad weather early Sunday morning, Dec. 28, and when Capt. Iriyanto requested permission to climb to a higher altitude, he was denied. Two minutes later, the controller told him that it was safe to proceed to 38,000 feet, but got no response. Loved ones held out hope for more than two days, only to have the worst confirmed early this morning, Dec. 30.AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes has attempted to handle this tragedy with great care and has been nothing but supportive and empathetic toward the families who were waiting for official word.Today, Fernandes tweeted, "My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501. On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am."He has since flown back to Surabaya to be with the grieving families. He also has chartered a flight to take them out to the airspace over the Java Sea to say their final goodbyes to loved ones in the area where they lost their lives.
