Dan Harmon off Community
NBC dealt another one of its notorious blows to Community creator and showrunner Dan Harmon, by firing him without, Harmon claims, contacting him before the decision was announced. "Why'd Sony want me gone? I can't answer that because I've been in as much contact with them as you have," Harmon wrote on his blog on Saturday. "They literally haven't called me since the season four pickup, so their reasons for replacing me are clearly none of my business." Fans of the series, which has a notable cult following, have taken their outrage over NBC's decision viral, rallying campaigns to have Harmon re-hired or, at the very least, kept on as a writer. Time will only tell how NBC -- still reeling from 2010's Leno vs Conan debacle -- plays this one.
Mark Zuckerberg Weds
Facebook CEO and Silicon Valley wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg wed his longtime partner, Priscilla Chan, on Saturday. The couple met in 2004 when Zuckerberg, 28, was in the early stages of developing Facebook, while Chan studied to become a pediatrician. The marriage took place only days before Facebook shares dropped nearly 14 percent. That's $2.2 billion in terms of Zuckerberg's fortune.
Ryan Seacrest Buys Ellen Degeneres' Pad
Ryan Seacrest has purchased Ellen Degeneres' 8,500-square-foot estate for $37 million. This comes after several years of real estate woes for Seacrest. Property geeks out there will know that he once tried and failed to sell his Hollywood Hills villa for $15 million. It is now priced at $12 million, and we can bet the E! correspondent is eager to settle into Degeneres' four luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms. Don't worry -- Portia and Ellen are moving just down the "street," staying put in Beverly Hills.
Wiig's Weepy Exit
Oscar-nominated writer and comedian Kristen Wiig made a tearful exit from Saturday Night Live over the weekend, in a sketch featuring host Mick Jagger. Cast members danced and sang 'Goodbye Ruby Tuesday' to a visibly emotional Wiig. She has been a cast member since 2005.
Dog Cancelled
Dog 'The Bounty Hunter' Chapman is looking for a new home after A&E decided to cancel his long-running reality series after eight seasons. The show's bizarre action (mostly involving Dog dragging criminals into his car and driving off into the sunset) is only matched by Chapman's personal life, which took center stage over the last few years, notably when his daughter and business partner Lyssa, 24, was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
