kind of surprising TV-related news today

Denise Richards, ex-wife of Hollywood's "bad boy" actor Charlie Sheen, is going to be doing some some stripping in Vegas (down to lingerie). I just read the story in the news. Anyway, she will be joining the act in the Pussycat Dolls Lounge in Vegas, briefly. The other news that caught my eye was a report that the pilot episode of "Blade: the series" brought in 2.5 million viewers to the "Spike TV" cable station to see it. I do not think that counts all the people who downloaded for free from iTunes. Those figures will probably come out next week and I expect they will be huge. By the way, if you have not get it yet - grab it right away. Chances are Apple will be changing the price from FREE to $1.99 in the next couple of days. Since this episode is 90 minutes long, getting it for free is really sweet. Also, it just now hit me - Apple gave away a 90 minute long TV show on iTunes. Hey, that pretty much erases any doubt as to whether they have the storage on their website to hold that and the technical oomph in their iPod to play it back. It played back pretty smoothly on my Mac. When I full sized it on my 20 inch screen, I did notice some slight fuzziness whenever there was any text - like from signage - in the scene. Other than that half a second when there was a sign on the screen - the playback was very nice. I watched most of it in full screen mode.
