Part of the Olympics opening ceremony in London on Friday night was a tribute to victims of the terror attack of July 7th, 2005 that killed 52 people but if you were watching the show here in the U.S., you didn't see it because NBC cut away to an interview between RYAN SEACREST and MICHAEL PHELPS. In response to the backlash they got, an NBC spokesman said, quote, "Our programming is tailored for the U.S. audience. It's a tribute to [producer] Danny Boyle that it required so little editing."

NBC is taking some heat for tape-delaying MICHAEL PHELPS' first event so they could show it during primetime, instead of airing it live. By the time it aired Saturday night, people already knew Phelps had come in FOURTH in the men's 400-meter individual medley.

A prequel is in the works to the 1980 horror classic "The Shining". It'll tell the story of what happened at the Overlook Hotel before JACK NICHOLSON'S character and his family got there. As far as we know, STEPHEN KING will NOT be involved. King wrote the book, but he wasn't a fan of the movie. He eventually tried to "correct" what he thought was wrong with it by writing his own adaptation, which was turned into an ABC miniseries in 1997. King is actually working on a novel that's a SEQUEL to "The Shining". It'll be about a grown-up Danny Torrance. He's the kid from the original novel who had a psychic gift a.k.a. The Shining.
