Considering Farrah Fawcett's death was overshadowed by Michael Jackson's, she has no right to complain about something like that, the more I find out about her the more I dislike her.

Actually the comment was made before either Farrah or Michael died. MJH heard Farrah was expected to die soon and she... expressed concern that she might be bumped from the cover of a certain magazine if it happened before the magazine hit stands. The funny part was this was a comment made to friends that was overheard by a reporter, so why MJH chose to admit to it I'll never understand.

I kind of understand the woman, though. It must be one hell of a slow week if a celebrity magazine is willing to put a washed-up Nickelodeon "star" on their cover for losing weight after giving birth. Kim Kardashian twisting her ankle would have bumped her from the cover.

It's over:

To all our Backers,

We have thought long and hard and we have decided to end our campaign. Before we make the official announcement we wanted you all to know that everything you have all done for this project was appreciated. Your ideas, inspiration and generosity was what made it a hard choice.

Thank You

You have to be a backer to see the post =P

The video is a... rather large closeup of Melissa thanking everyone, saying shes going to pull the plug. Look at what went wrong and try again in the future to get the movie made somehow and lots more thanking backers.

Do people get their money back?

People never gave away their money in the first place, technically. When you kickstart something you basically write an IOU. If the kickstarter reaches its goal when it's over, the IOU is collected from your bank/card. If they fail to reach the target when its over, no money is taken from anyone.

EDIT: Beaten twice xD

Damn, and I was so looking forward to another generic rom com! Considering her supposed fan base, this was a pretty big fail. Now, if it was another Sabrina movie, this could have went a bit differently.

Even a decent re-release of Clarissa on DVD'd be better, the 2005 release was awful.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand CANCELLED!

It was a sad day for '90s teen-sitcom star Melissa Joan Hart, whose Kickstarter campaign for the movie "Darci's Walk of Shame" was canceled Monday.

Hart's crowdfunding effort hoped to raise $2 million for the project, but after about a month it had collected only $51,605 from a measly 315 supporters. The synopsis for "Darci" describes it as the story of what happens after "an impulsive act has Darci face enormous hurdles to get back to her sister’s wedding and avoid her family witness her first walk of shame."

Hart must have known the project was a bit of a gamble, as her personal message to donors asked them "to do what Hollywood won't, and that is to take a chance on me as the lead of a romantic comedy film." The actress called the movie a "leap of faith" and promised it would remain similar to the same comedy she's served up in "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," "Clarissa Explains It All," the 1999 rom-com "Drive Me Crazy" and her current ABC Family series "Melissa & Joey," which will return for a third season May 29.

The goal of the campaign, Hart said, was to help her land her first leading role since "Drive Me Crazy."

The actress congratulated "Veronica Mars" on its Kickstarter success, which seems to have catapulted the attention given to celebrity-driven crowdfunding initiatives. In addition to Hart, Zach Braff recently launched a successful Kickstarter effort to fund his "Garden State" follow-up "Wish I Was Here" -- an endeavor that has sparked much contention regarding whether an A-list celebrity should take to crowdfunding in order to support Hollywood projects.

This is a creepy fucking post. Jesus.
