That was fast. Hugh Jackman was executive producing and occasionally acting in a show for CBS called "Viva Laughlin". It took place in a casino and people sang. Not anymore, it's over. I can't imagine why. It starred Melanie Griffith and several other nobodies and how is Melanie going to find money to repair that plastic surgery if she can't find work?
Maybe you never knew what happened to Hugh Jackman's CBS project, "Viva Laughlin," or maybe you never even heard of such a show. Well, if you were one of the few viewers the show had, you may or may not know by now that it was canceled last week after CBS aired only two episodes. Am I surprised? No, because a musical television series set in a casino doesn't have a market in the land of contemporary television, even if Hugh Jackman is a driving foce behind it. Some could see this ship headed for disaster no matter who was at the wheel.Though Jackman had a guest starring role on the show, even if Jackman had appeared naked, it probably wouldn't have saved it. Even in Jackman's homeland down under, the Sydney-Morning Herald reported that the show was dumped after just one episode aired in Australia. This goes to show that it's not just Americans who aren't in the mood for such a different type of show featuring characters breaking into song, but an audience on the other side of the world with different senses of whimsical and unconventional entertainment apply still rejected this "Moulin Rouge" style show set to the kind of backdrop behind NBC's "Las Vegas."
Someone get Melanie out of that dumpster. Poor bitch. Hugh doesn't seem too fazed. That guy is ALWAYS at the beach. He's like a damn lifeguard. An incredibly sexy lifeguard. I need cardiac pulmonary recession or whatever it is! I know I wasn't in the water, why are you discriminating against me, Hugh?

If you do not learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. Did no one sit this man down and make him watch Cop Rock? Granted he's not from his country, but I know about the Tsunami and I was no where near Indonesia when it happened.
