OK, stop screaming at me through your computer screen and calm down for a second. After a week of fans having a collective meltdown over the ending to How I Met Your Mother, it seems producers may be taking note. Sort of:
Now it has been revealed that the show’s co-creator and executive producer, Carter Bays, had an alternate ending planned, i.e. two scripts with two different endings, out of which only one was shot. “Few days ago today we were in the HIMYM edit room, trying to decide between two very different endings. We only shot one script, but through edit room magic we had two possible outcomes for the series,” he said to Ace Showbiz.
“We chose the ending we chose and we stand by it. But we loved the other version too,” he added. However, the alternate ending will not be shot and aired on television, rather will be featured in the special features section of the season nine DVD boxset when it is released.
So producers have come up with a potentially great way to sell DVD box sets of a show that just alienated thousands of its fans. No word yet on whether or not they will use my suggested ending where the entire cast get kidnapped in the last minute of the show by the same weird government agency that took ALF. [Contact Music]
This is all incredibly sad. Beyonce‘s half-brother is reportedly moving into a homeless shelter. According to the Huffington Post:
In February, Alexsandra Wright, the mother of Mathew Knowles’ 4-year-old son, Nixon Alexander Knowles, revealed that she’d been forced to go on food stamps due to the music mogul’s then-outstanding debt of $32,000 in child support. Wright said she planned to pursue legal action in hopes of public assistance from Knowles, who is also the father of pop superstar Beyoncé.
Despite Wright’s efforts, a judge has since granted Knowles a substantial cut in his child support payments from $12,000 a month to roughly $2,500 a month, according to a ruling obtained by the Associated Press in March. Now comes news that Wright and Nixon, Beyonce’s half-brother, are still struggling financially and are allegedly headed to a Los Angeles homeless shelter.
That’s awful to hear about anyone, especially a young child. Being related to someone famous doesn’t make it any more or less tragic. There’s probably a lot more to this story than what we’re seeing in the press right now, too. Good luck to them. [Huff Po]
