We had a tip that AOL and Mark Burnett was canceling Gold Rush Goes Hollywood, the sequel to last year’s successful online game show. Not so, says an AOL spokeswoman—but the show won’t launch as planned in September and “likely will not happen this year.” Why postpone a show touted as one of the five top projects at the spring AOL First Look? Spokeswoman: “It wasn’t coming together the way we wanted it to. Season I was such a success, and we were having a hard time topping it. We are just taking the time to get it right.” She said they’d had “a lot of advertiser interest” but that she wasn’t aware of any signings. “The other First Look programs are on track,” she added.
