Have you ever wondered why movie studios love to make sequels of hit films? Well, these studios don't even wait for a film to be released before announcing its sequel. Steve Zeitchik (http://twitter.com/zeitchikLAT) of the Los Angeles Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2009/12/steven-zeitchik.html) fills us in on the sequel culture that has taken over Hollywood. Meanwhile, the king and queen of television, Steve Carell and Tina Fey, nudged "Clash of the Titans" out of first place at the box office with their new release "Date Night". While Fey may be making a move to the silver screen, the big news of the week was happening in television - cable television no less.

While analyzing the week's top entertainment news stories including how celebrities are using Twitter these days. We finish off with a little Inside Baseball in which we try and understand why anyone would want to buy Miramax or MGM.  Premature Sequalization: Sequel Culture Runs Amok http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/04/tron-legacy-sequel....
