April's Web video dip: Where have all the eyeballs gone?
As NewTeeVee notices, comScore latest video metrics show that U.S. Internet denizens watched half a billion fewer videos in April than they did in March.
Total videos watched dropped 4%, from 11.5 billion to 11 billion -- perhaps not a catastrophic dip, but certainly one worth wondering about.
April was when TV began to recover from the strike and new episodes began filtering in again. Plus you had "American Idol" reaching a crescendo and the NBA playoffs starting. Add the wall-to-wall election coverage from the cable news networks, and TV had a pretty good stretch.
But it's only a guess that TV accounted for the Web declines. It could also have been the improving weather. I know I went outside a few times in April. Or even that people are finally getting bored of YouTube, the Internet, their computers, and this cramped-up, claustrophobic and impersonal modern situation. Somehow I doubt it, though. ...

Elton John - Sir Elton Offered 52 Million Gig
SIR ELTON JOHN has reportedly been offered a multi-million dollar (pound) pay cheque to play an hour-long gig for a female Russian mogul.
The British singer is set to receive $5.2 million (GBP2.6 million) to perform at the launch of the tycoon's new hotel in Moscow, Russia, later this year (08).
If the star accepts the deal, he will set a record for the highest fee ever paid to a single artist
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Initially Elton turned (it) down because he's so busy. But when the offer crossed the GBP2 million barrier it was too much to refuse, even for someone of his means. And let's be honest, GBP2.6 million buys a hell of a lot of flowers.
"He's on the verge of saying yes."
Sir John, 61, pocketed $3 million (GBP1.5 million) when he performed at a private gig in 2001.

Bryce Dallas Howard - Bryce Dallas Howard In Terminator 4 Talks
Bryce Dallas Howard is in discussions to replace Charlotte Gainsbourg in McG's Terminator sequel, reports claim.
Gainsbourg, who starred alongside Heath Ledger in I'm Not There, had been set to play the wife of John Connor (Christian Bale), leader of the human resistance in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins but has been forced to withdraw from the project due to a scheduling conflict.
And according to the Hollywood Reporter, The Village star Howard is in negotiations to take the role.
The daughter of actor and director Ron Howard, she recently completed filming opposite Chris Evans and Ellen Burstyn in Jodie Markell's The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.
Gainsbourg's departure has been provoked by the potential for an actor's strike as the Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) has failed to reach an agreement with Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) regarding remuneration over redistribution of their work on DVD and other media.
Were a strike to happen, shooting would be postponed temporarily, raising the possibility of clash for Gainsbourg between Terminator Salvation and a French comedy to which she is attached.
McG, helmer of both Charlie's Angels features, is to follow in the footsteps of James Cameron and Jonathan Mostow in directing Terminator Salvation: due for release on May 22nd 2009.
While the plot of the fourth film has been largely kept under wraps, it is believed it could be the start of a three-picture exploration of the human battle for survival after much of the Earth has been obliterated by Skynet - the computer that controlled the machines - in a nuclear holocaust.

Housemates face hunger again today
Dennis and Rachel took part in the 'Hot Buzz' challenge where they had to pass a metal wand over a wire track without touching it; the twist was that all the housemates were dressed in metallic body suits and got an electric shock every time the duo failed.
During and after the challenge, there were further tensions among some of the housemates.
Dennis made Kathreya cry with a prank while Rex and Alexandra argued when she took off the device which gave her the electric shocks.
Rex said: "It's a bit of pain but think how much pleasure it's going to cause. Do you know how much pleasure you're going to get from eating all the food, people being happy, people being able to have a nice time in here?"
She said: "Don't tell me what my threshold is. I wouldn't take off my suit easily. I went through childbirth, yes I've got three tattoos, and yes a strong woman like me cannot take any more. Don't keep rubbing it in my face, all right?"
Channel 4 has responded to a Daily Mirror report saying that the station had received many calls about Alexandra's behaviour on the show.
The 'Big Brother' spokesman said: "There have been some viewers phoning in - it's the nature of the show, it generates calls with viewers who want to engage. We're not in a position to give the official number of viewers who called. We dealt with the issue in the show."
