In the wake of the tragedy in Connecticut, the Discovery Channel is not going ahead with a third season of "American Guns" . . . and TLC pushed back the premiere of its new show "Best Funeral Ever".  Meanwhile, the premiere of "Django Unchained" was canceled . . . and a private viewing for cast and crew with their friends and families will take place instead.

On last night's live performance of "The Voice", the coaches, contestants, and hosts Carson Daly and Christina Milian opened the show by singing "Hallelujah" while holding cards with the names and ages of the Sandy Hook victims.

MILEY CYRUS has kind of a slutty reputation, but she's been with LIAM HEMSWORTH for over three years, and they're currently engaged.  Meanwhile, TAYLOR SWIFT is seen as sweet and innocent, even though she's pretty much a serial dater.  An E! Online writer pointed that out recently, and Miley appreciated it.  She said, quote, "People are idiots and call me a slut when I am engaged at 20 [because] I'm madly in love with one man.  Just happy someone admitted it."

This probably won't be the most shocking thing you hear today, but ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is still BANGIN' AWAY at the age of 65.  We don't know who he's grinding on top of, but he's doing it.-He tells "Esquire" magazine, quote, "When you get older, sex may change a bit.  When you're 65, it's not exactly the same as when you were 25.  But that doesn't mean it's over.  It's never over.

CHANNING TATUM and his wife JENNA DEWAN are expecting their first child.  No other details were released, other than that Jenna is due "next year." 

The inquest into AMY WINEHOUSE'S death will be reheard next month . . . but it sounds like it's just a formality.The coroner who originally declared that Amy died of accidental alcohol poisoning ended up resigning, after it was discovered that she wasn't qualified for her position.  She was actually appointed by her HUSBAND, a higher-ranking coroner who also resigned over the controversy.But Amy's family issued a statement saying they accept the initial ruling, and they don't expect the verdict to change.

The TRUE AMERICAN HERO responsible for those SCARLETT JOHANSSON nude pics did NOT get a medal.  He got PRISON TIME. 36-year-old Christopher Chaney was accused of hacking the accounts of dozens of celebrities, including MILA KUNIS and CHRISTINA AGUILERA.  He was looking at 121 years behind bars.  But he cut a deal, and got 10.

According to the HuffingtonPost.com, LINDSAY LOHAN made about $1.6 million in 2012 . . . and racked up about $514,000 in debt.  So where did the other $1.1 million go?  Well, there's taxes . . . assuming Lindsay is paying them these days . . . and her legal bill for the year could have been in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.

"Sources" tell the "New York Daily News" that NBC is thinking about giving "The Tonight Show" to JIMMY FALLON when JAY LENO'S contract expires in 2014.  But the real question is:  Would Leno finally be ready to leave at that point?

 

 

HBO is working with Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York to create a series of "Game of Thrones"-themed beers. The first one will be called "Iron Throne Blonde Ale", and it'll be available starting in March . . . in time for the third season premiere on March 31st.  The second "Game of Thrones" brew will follow in the fall, and two more will be introduced in 2014.

On yesterday's 'Ellen", ANNE HATHAWAY said she has "not heard from" KATIE HOLMES since she broke out her Katie Holmes impersonation again on "Saturday Night Live" last month.She added, quote, "What I really wanted to have happen . . . because this is the second time I've done Katie . . . I wanted Katie to come on the show and do me, and I wanted to do this rap about how awesome I think Katie Holmes is." But Katie is apparently too busy to do that . . . or to give Anne a call.  Anne says, quote, "She is on Broadway, and killing it on Broadway . . . so she was busy."

ALICIA KEYS has been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit.  Songwriter Earl Shuman claims "Girl on Fire" sounds too similar EDDIE HOLMAN'S 1970 single "(Hey There) Lonely Girl", which he wrote.  It seems like just an attempt at a cash-grab though, because the similarities are pretty slight.
