The drama, which airs Friday nights, gets lost in the shuffle for me, but apparently it's doing well: <a href="http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-nbcrenewslasvegas,0,744099.story" target="_blank">NBC just renewed it for a fifth season.</a></p> <p>But in a weird twist, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070228/tv_nm/lasvegas_dc" target="_blank">two of the show's stars won't be back</a>: James Caan (also known as <b>The Godfather</b>'s Sonny Corleone) says he wants to get back into film, while Nikki Cox apparently <a href="http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800009920&amp;rssDate=12345678" target="_blank">got axed because of budget cuts</a>. Which seems odd for a show the network just decided to bring back, but hey, I don't pretend to understand Hollywood. Weirdly, both Caan and Cox were mentioned in <a href="http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070227nbc03" target="_blank">NBC's press release</a> about the renewal. Don't they coordinate these things? </p> <p>The good news: Breakout star Josh Duhamel is sticking around for now. And longtime fans, take note: TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that former "Las Vegas" star Marsha Thomason <a href="http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800009963&amp;rssDate=12345678" target="_blank">will turn up on "Lost"</a> later this season. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nbc.com/Las_Vegas/" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.buzzsugar.com/155358#comment TV NBC Las Vegas James Caan Nikki Cox Josh Duhamel Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:36:19 -0800 BuzzSugar http://www.buzzsugar.com/155358
