Three weeks ago, the History Channel dropped the miniseries The Kennedys – starring Katie Holmes as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Greg Kinnear as President John F. Kennedy – reportedly due to political pressure.

Right after the History Channel balked, there was talk Showtime would pick up the eight-part film, but the cable network ultimately passed on the project.

Now there’s word that Tribune Broadcasting is interested in the miniseries, and might air it in syndication on its affiliates, including those in the country’s major markets, reports Deadline.

Shortly after the History Channel passed on the miniseries, the film’s producers said in a statement: “We are proud of the work all of our talent put into the making of The Kennedys and the painstaking efforts that went into creating a drama that is compelling while rich in historic detail.”

“Although we regret this does not fit into the History Channel’s plans, we are confident that television viewers in the United States will join viewers from around the world in having an opportunity to watch this series in the near future.”

The project also stars Barry Pepper as Robert Kennedy and Tom Wilkinson as family patriarch Joseph Kennedy.

Henry Cavill is the new Man of Steel.

Zack Snyder, who  is directing the next Superman film, said in a statement: “In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

British-born Cavill, who appeared on “The Tudors,” replaces Brandon Routh as Superman. Cavill can next be seen in the upcoming film Immortals.

Chris Brown and his attorney, Mark Geragos, went to court yesterday to request that the restraining order that bars Chris from having contact with Rihanna be removed. Chris’ attorney pointed out that he had completed 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling.

“It makes it difficult at award shows and such,” Geragos said.

The judge did not immediately grant the request; when they contacted Rihanna’s attorney, her attorney wanted to consult with Rihanna before weighing in on the matter.

I’m glad they’re consulting with Rihanna before doing anything!

It looks like it was a VERY last-minute move to enter rehab on Charlie Sheen’s part; just before it was announced that the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star was checking into an undisclosed facility, he sent a text to a senior editor at Radar Online.

“I’m fine,” Sheen told RadarOnline‘s Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard via text message on Friday afternoon…

“People don’t seem to get it…. Guy can’t have a great time and do his job also?”

The Two and a Half Men star finished the text with a characterization of his detractors: “Bunch of turds.”

Ooookay. Denial is part of the illness of addiction.

Well, I’m glad someone was able to get through to Charlie. All these hospital visits suggest something was negatively affecting his health. Eventually it could’ve been something fatal.

Hopefully rehab will help him.

1 TRILLION DOLLARS? That is INSANE!!

Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks has filed a $1 trillion lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of (wait for it….) being behind the 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and stealing a poker chip from her that was worth “100 zillions of dollars”.

You can’t make this stuff up people…

The woman also claims that Diddy is the father of her 23-year-old son and is looking for $900 billion in child support. I mean… really.

It has been confirmed that Charlie Sheen is BACK IN REHAB. The actor is currently staying in an undisclosed rehab facility.

Two and a Half Men producers released the following statement:

“Due to Charlie Sheen’s decision to enter a rehabilitation center, CBS, Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre are placing “Two and a Half Men” on production hiatus. We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision.”

More details to come…
