Too sad.

According to a new report, production on Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels has been suspended following a fatal accident in Southern Illinois involving one of its crew members who police say fell asleep while driving a production vehicle and killed two 19-year olds in another vehicle.

The fatal accident happened this past Friday.

In a statement, Bret said, “As a father of two, I cannot even imagine what the families must be going through at this time. I will make every attempt to reach out to them to let them know that my heart and prayers are with them during their time of grief.”

However, The Chicago Tribune reports neither Brett nor anyone at VH1 had contacted the families.

Sheesh. Get some class, Brett.

newVideoPlayer("/todoshark_def.flv", 506, 423,""); Yeah yeah yeah, we know most people around the country are either talking about the failed bailout plan, Sarah Palin or those Somali pirates holding a ship for a $20 million ransom. However, around Defamer HQ, the only thing we've been talking about is that guy who punched a shark in the face to save his beloved rat terrier. As you might expect, it's a topic that's near and dear to our own Molly McAleer's heart, what with her being the proud guardian of Koreatown's most popular chihuahua, Wagandstuff. Her thoughts on the subject, along with this evening's To Do's, can be found after the jump. Enjoy!

Last week was 'premiere' week in the world of television and here's how it all went down.

ABC was numero uno! On average, the alphabet network was able to get 12.3 million people to their channel.

CBS came in #2 with 11.3 million on average tuning in during premiere week.

NBC was in third place. They averaged an embarassing 8.3 million that week.

ABC was propelled to the top spot by the 'strong' (compared to their rival nets' shows) opening by Dancing With the Stars and Grey's Anatomy (but, mind you Grey's opened 18% down from the previous season).

Congrats Mouse channel!

Remember those Princess Diana letters we told you about?

Well, they were just auctioned off for a very pretty penny!

One letter that a 17-year-old Diana wrote to her nanny concerning the failed courtship between her older sister and future husband Prince Charles sold for a whopping a 12,431 pounds (22,000 dollars!!!).

In the same letter, the elegant Diana reveals her very human insecurity, saying that though she loves to sing and dance she believes she is awful at both.

Three other letters sold for 16,079 pounds - yup, that's about $30,000!!!

This financial crisis is making politicians crazier than Michael Lohan in front of a reporter's microphone!

After voicing strong support for office limits and labeling attempts to alter limits "disgusting," New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg plans on doing just those things, The New York Times is reporting.

Former Wall Street Trader and independent party-aligned Bloomberg plans to announce on Thursday his intentions to revise New York City's office term limits and run for a third term in office. He would be only the fourth ever mayor to do so.

And the reason for this about-face?

You guessed it!

MONEY!

Or the lack thereof.

Bloomberg, who at one point was a rumored Republican presidential candidate nom, has been encouraged by big-time business executives such as Rupert Murdoch to stay in office, as his pragmatic business sensibilities have proved him popular in that community. A recent survey of New York council members - two-thirds of whom will have to leave office with Bloomberg if he fails - found that the Mayor's intentions to amend the term limit law are largely supported.

Inneresting.

What do U think of this new development????
