The Call Sheet sifts through the day's glut of Hollywood news to find the stories even non-industry types care about. Today: Justin Bieber sinks on TV, Jessica Sanchez heads to TV, and Disney has a little branding trouble.
You might be dying in his arms and wishing he was your boyfriend, but none of y'all actually want to watch Justin Bieber on the telly. That's according to the ratings for his NBC TV concert special last night, which drew in a paltry 3.3 million viewers and a 0.9 rating. Yikes! Apparently during the special, Bieber said "I’m experiencing what the Beatles went through, what Michael Jackson went through," which, uh, well... No, actually. No. You're experiencing what... mayyybe... Justin Timberlake went through? And that's a big maybe. You're doing well, kid, and the new album is appropriately a little more grownup, but let's not get ahead ourselves here. After all, a bunch of your supposed fans had better things to do last night than watch your special. Things like, I dunno, listen to Michael Jackson and Beatles music. [Entertainment Weekly]
While on the topic of teen queens, this season's American Idol runner-up Jessica Sanchez may soon be signing a deal to appear on several episodes of Fox's karaoke seance Glee. How's that for network synergy! There's no word yet on who Sanchez will play, but this being Glee we can assume that, no matter the character, she'll make a splashy but arbitrary seeming first appearance and will then be quickly forgotten about only to be awkwardly resurrected when the plotting is convenient.
