The Worst TV Ideas Of The Decade
20 Nov 2009 | 9:04 amMany television failures fall under the heading of "just one of those things." After all, most new series don't make it even one season, and with creative reward comes the risk of looking ridiculous. But some ideas are so obviously misconceived that they are widely panned even ahead of time, are still remembered years after the fact, and deserve to be held up as examples of What Not To Do. Here, in no particular order, is a list of the worst ideas in television during this past decade. ABC -

Oprah Winfrey is first and foremost one of my dearest friends and obviously the person who taught me everything I know about television,” Dr. Phil tells us. “Her show was home for me for five of the most exciting years of my life. ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is the gold standard and I know that she will succeed at whatever she chooses to do next.” -
'Survivor''s Laura Morett: We Shot Ourselves in the Foot
20 Nov 2009 | 1:57 pmThursday night's Tribal Council was the Tribal Council of all Tribal Councils on "Survivor: Samoa." The vote was split with five castaways voting to send home Laura Morett, and five voting for Southern belle Natalie White. When the vote is split like that, a second ballot is cast by everyone except the two named in the first vote. If there was a tie the second time, both Laura and Natalie would be safe, and stones would be drawn by the remaining castaways to see who would go home. Three of Laura's original Galu tribe members still wrote her name down, but John Fincher took the… -

Tie vote leads to Laura being voted out during an episode that was "good shit," as Erik said

He was thrilled that Galu was getting its comeuppance, but he could have also been talking about the whole episode. There was a lot of great stuff, like a tie vote, Natalie dangling by her legs during the reward challenge, and Russell finding a third hidden immunity idol (though this time with a video clue, at least, although he still found it despite being chased). It was the kind of episode that proved Survivor is still going strong 19 seasons later. That was almost derailed by… -

Although Heidi told her the judges were "disappointed in [her] lack of color," Michael Kors said Irina had "the best sense of showmanship." After she won, Heidi told her that her collection was "sleek, modern, and cohesive, and it told a story. And you knew what kind of woman you were designing for." Carol Hannah Whitfield was eliminated first for her collection featuring "structured draping." That was despite having "impeccable" tailoring, as Heidi… -

"Honestly, they're really not going to completely trust someone they saw on TV with a multi-million dollar restaurant," Heather said. However, she added that her experience there was positive.

19 Nov 2009 | 12:07 pmNBC has announced a new series that will award what it calls "arguably the biggest prize in reality show history," which is "a new restaurant chain in four cities across America." United Plates of America is a competition judged "by a panel of real investors who fund the chain of restaurants with their own money," according to an NBC press release. Exactly how the show will work is somewhat ambiguous, but NBC says "the investors will put the chosen few through rigorous challenges to discover whose plan has the greatest potential for success." It sounds like a combination of Shark Tank and…

Who Will Replace Oprah as America's Life Coach?
20 Nov 2009 | 2:06 pmFew would disagree that Oprah Winfrey—talk show host, media mogul, guru to enlightenment-seeking housewives everywhere—is one of the most influential taste-makers of the past, oh, fifty years or so. Oprah's reach is everywhere. Her hands can be found in food, in home design, in books, in pop-philosophy (remember Eat, Pray, Love and The Secret), in politics. And the main platform she's used to launch all of her ideas and ideologies and likes and dislikes for the past 25 years has been her wildly successful afternoon talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show.The program was her big, soft-focus… -

Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” Is Your New “Clubbing in Space” Soundtrack
20 Nov 2009 | 3:15 pmOnly moments ago, a co-worker stopped by my office with a curious looking jewelcase atop a velveteen cushion. Gently, I lifted the object off of it’s pillowy home to discover that it was an advanced copy of Adam Lambert’s debut CD, “For Your Entertainment.” My reaction: There it was, in all its glory: Adam’s cocked head, the fingerless lambskin gloved hand grazing his buttery cheek, the gaze that says (whispered) “Put me in your CD player and listen to me gurl.” And so I did. A dramatic reenactment of my opening of the CD: Before I even popped the CD… -

20 Nov 2009 | 2:27 pmFulong the two-year-old giant panda was shipped from Austria to China this morning in this giant panda cage. It looks like he’s in panda jail: Because it’s Friday afternoon and I’m delirious, I really wanted to title this post “We finally nailed the perp who ate all that bamboo!” but Michelle reminded me that that was stupid, so I ended up deciding not to post it on the blog. OH WAIT I JUST DID OMG!!!! 2 LATE!!!!! Some more pics of panda jail to start your weekend off the right way (the PANDA way): -

All of you, right? (By the way, I gave up feeling the need to explain “Yes, I know these are not real people…” when talking about this show like three seasons ago, in case anyone was wondering.

Alec Baldwin Not Feeling Academy Awards Pressure
20 Nov 2009 | 5:05 pmAlec Baldwin isn’t nervous about next year’s Academy Awards. The 30 Rock star is co-hosting next year’s ceremony with Steve Martin and believes there are higher expectations on the comic actor. “It is all on Steve. Steve Martin has done this before, while for me it is the first time. All the pressure is on Steve Martin,” he quipped. Despite his confidence, the actor is still amazed he was given the job and keeps waiting for someone to cancel his booking. “I am doing it until they change their mind. I do have some preparations, but it is a secret,” Alec joked. -
VIDEO: Tearful Oprah Announces Decision
20 Nov 2009 | 12:44 pmThis is how you make an anti-climatic statement. After waiting until the very end of today’s broadcast to formally announce her already-leaked decision, Oprah Winfrey offered very little to her audience (aside from tears) that we haven’t already heard. Although she said she wanted to the viewers to hear the message “directly” from her, she never once did end the “conjecture” or “speculation” about her future. Is it possible the talk show has no idea what she’ll be doing two years from now? Is she simply going to take a break and just go… -

The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.5 million, 2.2/7) did about the same; Gary Unmarried (7.2 million, 2.5/7) lost 500,000.

Happy Birthday Rocky & Bullwinkle!
20 Nov 2009 | 12:08 pmThanks to friend of the blog, Bob Elisberg for reminding me that yesterday Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose turned 50. Their show premiered on ABC on November 19, 1959. Robert DeNiro almost killed them a few years ago in his sort-of live-action movie of the dynamic duo. But neither DeNiro, or Boris Badanov, or Natasha (who had great knockers for a cartoon character – better even than Betty Rubble’s), or Mr. Big, or the networks could ultimately squash the plucky squirrel and the moose with the IQ of Sarah Palin. Zany Jay Ward created the series. He also had a hand in the… -

Just how badly did Gilles Marini want to make it to America, the country that he calls “the big dream,” and represents “the sky is the limit.” He picked up and left his native France speaking not a word of english, and with a mere $400 in his pocket. “As soon as I got to America a lot of people really helped me out and trusted me,” explained the actor on a recent one-on-one with the TV Addict. “People I will always remember, people who will always have a place in my heart. ” His revealing role… -

Out of Gas
20 Nov 2009 | 2:42 pmThere was a rather good episode of The Thick of It a couple of weeks ago (I know they’re all rather good, but this was especially good) set at the party conference which pinioned on a physical altercation between the descendent of Fires of Pompeii’s Caecilius and Glenn being leaked to bloggers via Twitter. It felt very now. As I think someone in the unpopular press said, it made the show even more contemporary because it sounded like something that has already happened, which is hasn’t as far as we know, at least not in the political sphere. Twitter doesn’t seem… -

Strife on Mars
19 Nov 2009 | 10:52 amDoctor Who: The Waters of Mars In a parallel universe The Waters of Mars is a run-of-the-mill base-under-siege romp. The Doctor turns up, he defeats some water-based monsters with a cheeky wink and a breathless "Allons-y!", and then he skips back to the TARDIS just in time for tea. It's no great shakes. Much like 75% of the new series to be blunt. Oh well, it's their loss.Having said that, the majority of this universe's version of The Waters of Mars is nothing to write home about either. Admittedly, there's a very nice set, an interesting monster, some engaging… -
The Lord Of Misrule
16 Nov 2009 | 9:55 amDoctor Who: The Waters Of MarsNo flying bus, no cat-suited jewel thief, no babbling on about chops and gravy. Well, that's a good enough start for me. The Waters Of Mars sets its stall out with great panache and stylishly recycles Who tropes with ballsy direction from the ever reliable Graeme Harper. It gleefully inverts the 'base under siege' plotting by initially distancing the Doctor from the participants in the story with his mantra of 'I should go' but also by gradually allowing the audience to witness the Doctor's dark sovereignty as the 'Last Of The Time… -
Defying Gallifrey
15 Nov 2009 | 4:22 pmDoctor Who: The Waters of Mars When The Twin Dilemma was inexplicably released earlier in the year, once play.com had posted it to me, I undid the shrink wrap, watched the Stripped For Action documentary then put it on the shelf, the main feature unwatched. Despite working my way through the Eighth Doctor novels, I’ve never enjoyed the Virgin New Adventures much and find the latter parts of the McCoy era near unwatchable. For a period I wondered why this was the case (beyond quality control concerns) and it struck me watching closing minutes of The Waters of Mars. When the…

They say that Marv Albert is one bad mother (shut your mouth!)
20 Nov 2009 | 5:01 pmI thought that Cheech and Chong and Ann Coulter's gloves-off, no holds barred showdown/friendly exchange of ideas was the weirdest match up of all time. I officially stand corrected. Rapper 50 Cent's posse and sportcaster Marv Albert got into a little backstage tussle on the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live and no one seems to know exactly why.

Oprah breaks the news to her fans

Anyway, here's the clip with her announcement. I hope she can still collect unemployment when the show ends, but I don't think you can if you quit your job.

The family business: Let's talk about 'Supernatural's' 'Abandon All Hope...'
20 Nov 2009 | 8:56 amLet's discuss Thursday's "Supernatural" episode, "Abandon All Hope," below. Well, "Supernatural" sure has created one high-class problem for itself. The question is, when the bar is set so high by episodes like "Abandon All Hope…," it sure makes things more difficult for the "haunted wax museum" outings. I had a couple of quibbles with "Abandon All Hope…" -- mostly of the "why doesn't Lucifer just go ahead and smite Dean already" variety -- but by and large, this episode was terrific. It supplied a lot of… -
Oprah talks on the air about ending her show
20 Nov 2009 | 8:19 amDiners watch the "The Oprah Winfrey Show" at the Wishbone restaurant in Chicago's West Loop this morning. (Alex Garcia/Chicago Tribune) In a voice thick with emotion, Oprah Winfrey discussed ending her talk show in 2011 on her show today. Here are here remarks, which came at the end of Friday's show. "After much prayer, and months of careful thought, I've decided that next season -- Season 25 -- will be the last season of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,'" Winfrey said Friday. "And over the next couple of days, you may hear a lot of speculation in the… -
The Break-Up: Oprah to end her Chicago talk show in 2011
19 Nov 2009 | 6:12 pmBreakups usually lead to identity crises. Our divorce from Oprah Winfrey should be no different. Let’s face it, both Oprah and Chicago have gotten a lot from each other. Love her or hate her, she helped define the Windy City for almost three decades. Even if she appears on a new show on her OWN network, it won’t be the same. Chicago is part of the DNA of her hugely influential “Oprah Winfrey Show.” When her syndicated talk show goes away in 2011, our special link will be severed. But Winfrey got as much from us — maybe more — as we got from her. Winfrey derived a certain moral… -
Awesome news: 'Chuck' sets return date, the first Season 3 video clip and an update from co-creator Chris Fedak
19 Nov 2009 | 2:58 pmOn the day we got the "Lost" season premiere date, we also find out that "Chuck" is returning in January. The spy dramedy returns 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 10, with two episodes. The show begins occupying its regular time slot, Mondays at 8 p.m. ET, on Jan. 11. (My previous stories on "Chuck" are here.) This is great news, given that NBC had been thinking about keeping the show on hold until March. Knowing that "Chuck" returns in January and "Lost" returns Feb. 2 -- well, is it me or is this winter heating up quite a bit? According to co-creator Chris Fedak, production is underway on the 10th… -

ABC announced Thursday that the sixth and last season of the drama will arrive Tuesday, Feb. 2, at 9 p.m. Eastern.

"Lost" has time-traveled from its longtime Wednesday home to Tuesday.

I still like to mention that I was the 61st person to join PayPerPost. I currently don’t do that much PayPerPost, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost my interest in the company and what they’re doing. So, of course I was interested in posting about PayPerPost v4.0. PayPerPost really transformed blogging for me. They took something I was just doing for fun and turned that fun into a viable part time job for me. When I first started PayPerPost, I was very… -

Bumble Bee Foods will donate $0.15 for every mile to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength (with a maximum of $200,000).

I walked 2.11 miles, which included normal daily activities, going to school, going to work, and taking my dog for a walk. Below you will find a picture of my dog and I before our walk. I raised $0.31 for doing the things I normally do everyday; nothing extra. If I were to do this… -
UNLV New Horizons Band
14 Apr 2009 | 10:10 pmThis evening I attended the UNLV New Horizons Band Concert. I was very pleased with the overall performance. They played an outstanding variety of music. It was amazing to see how such a small group of people could perform so well. The band consisted of less than 25 musicians. From my past experiences, it takes a lot of discipline and hard work to create music with a limited amount of people and instruments. “The Syncopated Clock” was my favorite piece of the night. It was very intriguing and upbeat. This was definitely a performance that I would recommend to other people. Related… -
Vote for Woz
29 Mar 2009 | 2:50 pmWoz has really been hammered by the judges on Dancing with the Stars. This is a great reason to get out there and vote for Woz!! The judges were much more lenient in the past with other stars that weren’t good dancers. Can you say Cloris Leechman? She was so much worse than Woz. You can also enjoy following Woz on Twitter. Almost 100k people following that account to help support Woz. No wonder he’s been able to stay around despite low scores. Related posts:America’s Best Dance Crew: This is it, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

James Franco on 'General Hospital': Mom and daughter agree, he 'looked damn good.'
20 Nov 2009 | 4:20 pmEver since a month-long trip to Germany when I was 12 where the only English-speaking TV station played six-month old episodes of "General Hospital" daily, I've been a fan.Upon my return to the States, I continued to watch on school breaks and sick days until my mother figured it would be a good parenting move to check out the "trash" I was viewing.From that point on, every day after school we threw a bag of popcorn into the microwave and watched together throughout high school and all my college summer vacations.While being a grown-up for me has meant that I can no longer watch "GH" ever… -
'Curb Your Enthusiasm': Preview the 'Seinfeld'-ian finale
20 Nov 2009 | 4:08 pm"Curb Your Enthusiasm" winds down its season Sunday with an episode that also brings the show's "Seinfeld" reunion arc to a close. HBO has even gone so far as to restyle "Curb's" logo to look like "Seinfeld's."Actually, the whole promotional push by HBO has been kind of brilliant. A teaser for Sunday's show promises that after 11 years, "Finally ... a funny finale." It both captures the way most people felt about the real "Seinfeld" finale and plays off something that's been going on inside "Curb"-land, where everyone but Larry David acknowledges that the finale was perhaps not up to… -
'American Idol': Allison Iraheta's 'Friday I'll Be Over U' music video
20 Nov 2009 | 2:31 pmWatch "American Idol" finalist Allison Iraheta's fabulous video for "Friday I'll Be Over U."What a great video. It's like a cross between A-Ha's "Take On Me" and something out of the Dire Straits oeuvre. We love the irony that the born-in-1992 Idol has a video straight out of 1983. Fantastic.In all the hoopla surrounding Kris Allen and Adam Lambert's first albums, we'd forgotten how catchy Allison's debut single is. We think with the right songs she could become the next Idol female pop star. They really haven't had one since Kelly Clarkson. (Carrie Underwood's too country to be considered… -

Episode Review: August
19 Nov 2009 | 7:02 pmAfter three standalone episodes, Fox promised a return to Fringe's core mythology this week with a much-hyped Observer-centric storyline. The episode itself was certainly thin on the "answers" and "revelations" promised by promos and press releases, but August proved to be one of the show's best outings ever, regardless.Pinkner and Wyman gave our new Observer a great defining moment in this ep's teaser, when we see his reaction to the war veteran's gift. The emotion in his eyes was a stark contrast to what we're used to seeing from our old pal, September. And while we all knew from the promos… -

"Glee" Pops A Few Wheelies
18 Nov 2009 | 2:16 pmOne of Fox's fall hits, "Glee" got itself in a bit of trouble last week with an episode called, "Wheels."

"Precious," A Film Almost Too Real To Appreciate
13 Nov 2009 | 7:00 amThis is going to be sticky, so please, bear with me. I'm writing this just after seeing the film "Precious" and I can barely breathe. The only way I'm going to be able to write about this movie is in two parts: my hopefully professional and objective review of the movie, and then my gut level, emotional reaction to the movie. So as I said, please bear with me. "Precious" is based on the book, "Push" by Sapphire and was directed by Lee Daniels, who was a producer on the Oscar winning film, "Monster's Ball." Set in Harlem in the late 80's, the film tells the story of sixteen-year-old… -

Fringe, or How I Learned to Be Happy JJ Abrams Is Making Awesome TV Featuring Walter Bishop
15 Nov 2009 | 5:09 amOK, that was a really long title. But that’s to make up for being so lax in blogging about Fringe so far this season, despite the fact that Walter Bishop is, bar none, my favorite character on television at the moment (that includes shows that are on hiatus right now). Aussie John Noble plays Bishop impeccably, with just the right amount of insanity, incredible intelligence and love for his family and friends. It was obvious from the beginning that Bishop was different. Look, the man’s been in a mental institution for quite some time and is completely estranged from his son. But… -
Flash Forward – most definitely not a flash in the pan
8 Nov 2009 | 8:38 amI’ve been rather lax in my blogging this season, in part because there’s more decent to good sci-fi on the tellybox right now than there’s been in a good long time, so trying to catch up with it all has been a challenge. I was inspired to write this post now, however, after reading 5 Reasons Flash Forward is a Flash in the Pan on CinemaBlend, because I don’t agree with pretty much any of their five points. So consider this to be a rebuttal, point by point: • Bad Acting: Let’s just agree to disagree on that. Is all the acting stellar? No. But there are few shows… -

Michael Ausiello over at EW.com just posted the news that Gregory Itzin will reprise his role as disgraced President Logan for a multi-episode arc “towards the end of Day 8 when Cherry Jones’ President Taylor reluctantly enlists her disgraced predecessor to assist with an escalating diplomatic crisis.” Can’t wait to see how Aaron Pierce reacts to the sight of the former prez.

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
1 Nov 2009 | 10:22 amBefore I share my thoughts about the telemovie, I have to say this: If you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to be spoiled, click away NOW. Consider yourself warned. So the idea behind “The Plan,” ostensibly, was to tell the untold story of the Cylons. The plan they had when they attacked the Colonies in the miniseries. Problem is, The Plan itself boiled down to, “First thing we do, let’s kill all the humans.” (With apologies to Shakespeare.) We knew that already. What this telemovie did – and did quite well – was to explain what happened… -
Heroes: The end is nigh?
30 Oct 2009 | 12:59 pmI rarely root for a series I once loved to end, but an exception could certainly be made for Heroes. Looks like I could easily get my wish, as Airlock Alpha (once syfy.com, before the SciFi Channel became SyFy) reports that NBC sources say Heroes is being asked to wrap up its entire story by season’s end. An unidentified source was quoted as saying: There isn’t much happening with this show in terms of audience, and giving it a ‘final chapter’ feel is something the network is considering to help allow the show to go out with a bang. As I wrote earlier this season, even…

Marvelous Wonderettes Closes Its Gym Doors
7 Nov 2009 | 7:52 amMove over Rydell High, there is a new group of singing teenage starlets on stage hailing from Springfield High, and they are making audiences flip as they relive their 1958 Senior Prom to some doo-wop classics. Off-Broadway’s The Marvelous Wonderettes has been playing to enthusiastic crowds at The Westside Theatre since it settled in New York City following an extended run in Los Angeles — where I first saw the show and fell in love. Word has now come down that the quaint musical will close on January 3 after having played 545 performances. Cindy Lou, Missy, Betty Jean and Suzy… -
Zachary Quinto TwitPic Heard Around the Web
30 Oct 2009 | 8:12 amHave I finally turned into a creature so vile that I typically can’t stand to look at? The dreaded and oh-so-annoying Hollywood enemy, the paparazzi. If you happen to spot a picture of ‘Heroes‘ and ‘Star Trek’ star Zachary Quinto watching U2’s concert in Los Angeles last week and thought, “who would snap such an unwelcome photo of a celebrity?” I will man up and admit that it was me. (PopWrap | Just Jared | Zachary-Kristen.com | Zach-Quinto.net | DailyZQPhoto) Yes, the man who has no desire to ever be a celebrity hound, nonchalantly uploaded a… -
‘Bones’ Star Eric Millegan Outs Self as Bipolar
28 Oct 2009 | 1:12 pmFans of Fox’s hit show ‘Bones‘ probably remember Eric Millegan as the awkward Zack Addy, a co-worker of Dr. Brennan with a penchant for serial killing. Millegan’s character turned out to be working for a cannibal before getting caught in the act. No matter the gruesome nature of his role on ‘Bones,’ Millegan was a rather fun guy to be around. I had the pleasure interviewing him right before his Los Angeles cabaret debut back in 2007 and was impressed with his musical theatre roots. I’m now impressed more so with Millegan after reading an interview the… -
Carrie Fisher Drinks Her Way to Broadway
7 Oct 2009 | 6:54 amDrugs, booze, divorces and affairs might sound like a run of the mill Jerry Springer episode, but even the rich and famous succumb to such pitfalls in Tinseltown, and when you’re the child of a movie star mother and famed crooner father, every vice runs the risk of making headlines. How does a famous person cope with a litany of personal disasters and addictions? They do what every other actor seems busy with these days – put on a one-person show and welcome the world into your sordid past with open arms. Hollywood celebrities beware, Carrie Fisher is on the loose and taking no… -
‘True Blood’ Gets a Spin-Off
22 Sep 2009 | 12:54 pmHBO’s vampire drama ‘True Blood‘ rounded out its second season with big ratings (5.1 million) and critical acclaim. With approximately 12 million viewers an episode, when factoring in On Demand and DVR, ‘True Blood’ is a smash. Series creator Alan Ball, who also created HBO’s ‘Six Feet Under,’ has bred a cult following for ‘True Blood’ with star Stephen Moyer causing ladies to swoon. Moyer even got co-star Anna Paquin weak in the knees — the two recently became engaged. With nauseatingly good storylines full of blood, guts and…

Stepford Wives and Party Girls on Real Housewives of Orange County
20 Nov 2009 | 1:52 pmWe opened last night’s Real Housewives of Orange County with a beautiful hotel logo. It’s the couple of the year, Gretchen and Slade, going to “Valley Ho” a hotel named after Slade, I mean, a hotel in Arizona that they were going to be luxuriating at even though Slade is “poor.” Gretchen laughs at her own jokes and generally acts like a 13 year old girl. Gretchen, you already have the boy, you don’t have to pretend his jokes are funny anymore! The grossest point of the episode was not their subsequent sloberring all over each other on the dance floor… -

Where Are They Now? Real Housewives Edition
19 Nov 2009 | 6:19 amA commenter brought up a very important question this week: what the hell happened to departed OC housewives Tammy Knickerbocker, Quinn Fry, Lauri Waring, Jo De La Rosa and Kimberly Bryant? Since today another housewife leaves the McMansion nest of Real Housewives of Orange County (it’s Jeana’s last episode), I thought it’d be a good time to find out what the Housewives Of Botox Past were doing with themselves. 1. Kimberly Bryant Part of the original cast, Kimberly was last seen on two episodes last season: she was there for the “my boobs want to come out and… -
Real Housewives of New Jersey Try Their Hand At Actual Acting
18 Nov 2009 | 9:18 pmOn tonight’s episode of Mercy, Teresa and Jacqueline from Real Housewives of New Jersey did a little guest spot as a few mean girls harassing Michelle Trachtenberg’s character Chloe. Mercy is set in New Jersey, so it made sense to have the current stars of the state show up for a minute or two. And actually, the girls are pretty good in it. Not that it’s much of a stretch for Teresa to call someone a whore, but not everyone can go from unscripted to scripted so easily (let’s not name names!) Post from: Bravo Fan -
Good Riddance To Robin [Top Chef]
18 Nov 2009 | 2:49 pmOn last week’s Top Chef, Robin finally made her last meal. To be honest, Eli should have gone for making what appeared to be stringy vomit, but Robin got the burn from Nigella, who said since her panna cotta didn’t “quiver like an 18th-century courtesan’s thighs” so off she went. My prediction: the next to go will be Jen Carroll. Unless Eli spectacularly messes up again, Jen is letting the pressure get to her and will crash eventually. Serving Nigella Lawson”shit on a stick shingle” during the breakfast in bed quickfire was a huge mistake, especially…

Ginnifer Goodwin, Tom Ford, And Colin Firth Talk A Single Man At AFI Fest
20 Nov 2009 | 10:39 amA Single Man was chosen as the Closing Night feature at this year’s AFI Fest, and there are some nice clips to help you get ready for the December 11th release. The Closing Night Gala presentation of A SINGLE MAN features the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford from his script adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s acclaimed novel. The film follows a day in the life of a gay British college professor in Los Angeles as he attempts to cope with the death of his partner. Ford’s work helming the project and Colin Firth’s lead performance in the film have received critical… -
My Sister’s Keeper DVD Review – Win Your Copy Here
20 Nov 2009 | 8:59 amWhen it comes to reviewing films, you often find yourself at odds with certain demographics which render your efforts useless. My Sister’s Keeper presents such a case merely by being directed by Nick Cassavetes, and by being based on a book by Jodi Picoult. There are so many people who are set in their interest in such a film, that the potential use of a review is rather trivial. Whether you know you’re going to watch it, or know you aren’t, the odds are that you’re solidly in one of those camps. That’s particularly frustrating for a movie such as this, because… -

News Roundup: 90210, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl
18 Nov 2009 | 8:48 pmMonday’s One Tree Hill (2.6 million viewers) dropped ever so slightly and Gossip Girl (2.2 million viewers) dropped a bit more in the ratings compared to last week. Last night’s 90210 ( 2.1 million viewers) stayed the same in the ratings compared to last week. For some reason, this week (both Monday and Tuesday) The CW only had 94 percent coverage instead of 95 percent. But I’m not sure how much difference that actually makes in the ratings. I’ve been told it was 94 prior to this season so it’s possible that will be the norm again. The CW sent out a press… -
