## Transcript

Hi, I'm Kayla Webley with Time Magazine, and here's what's on Pop Chart this week. Taylor Swift had a good week. The 18 year old will be the youngest person to receive Billboard's Woman of the Year award. The week wasn't so good for Hank William Jr. ESPN canned his long running, Monday night football intro after he compared president Obama to Hitler. It's three weeks into the fall television season and some networks have already decided which series to put out of their misery. One obnoxious reality show, a sexist drama and two dude sitcoms got the ax, while a pair of female- centered comedies have been picked up for a second season.

One fish, two fish, red fish, Johnny Depp? How does anybody drink 161 miniatures? Having already played two iconic writers, Hunter S. Thompson and J. M. Berry, Johnny Depp will continue his literary streak by producing and possibly staring in a bio pic of children's book author, Dr. Seuss. It seems being pregnant only grants you so much deference. Beyonce has been accused of swiping moves from a Belgian choreographer in the video for her new single, Countdown. The choreographer says B plagiarized two of her ballets, while Beyonce says she was just inspired. For a second there, the Simpsons was close to calling it quits after 23 seasons.

[ MUSIC ] The Simpson's [ MUSIC ] Fox renewed the show to run through 2014 after its main voice actors agreed to a salary cut. Don't pity the stars, though. They will each still pull in at least 6 million a year for voicing Homer, Bart, and the rest of the Springfield gang. That's all we have for you on Pop Chart this week. Check back next week for more.
