Fox's 'Duets' has victory song for Tuesday

NEW YORK -- "Celebrity Duets" carried a strong tune Tuesday, with its
two-hour premiere leading Fox to a primetime victory in two key
measures. The two-hour premiere featured performances by actress Lea
Thompson, actor/comedians Hal Sparks and Cheech Marin and "Xena" star
Lucy Lawless, paired with musical legend Smokey Robinson, platinum
recording artist Michael Bolton and country music star Lee Ann Womack,
among others. It averaged 8.1 milllion viewers and a 3.0 rating/9 share
in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary ratings
estimates from Nielsen Media Research. "Duets" fell in its first hour
to CBS' "Big Brother," with the Fox show averaging 7.7 million viewers
and a 2.9/9 to the 8.6 million viewers and 3.1/10 for "Big Brother."
Meanwhile NBC's "Fear Factor" (5.1 million, 1.8/5) sank to its lowest
ratings of the summer and well below its summer average of a 2.2/7.
