TV News: Rumor that Netflix has pitched Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey their own reality show where cameras would just follow them around when she’s not touring.

More TV, coming to FX and Hulu, American Sports Story, and the first story will be, Aaron Hernandez – a tragidy. Hernandez called one of the best tight ends in College when he played at Florida, and was drafted by the New England Patriots!

Say What Department, Katy Perry walked away from a $525,000, 4 month a year gig as a judge on American Idol saying she can make more money by re-booting her career. Wrong!
