Trump: I Would’ve Continued Presidential Run If Not For Becoming ‘Friendly With Romney’
25 May 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Donald Trump joined The View panel today for "Guy-Day Friday," and Whoopi Goldberg wasted no time asking him about his aborted run for the presidency. Trump had an interesting explanation for the way his campaign ended: "I was doing fantastically in the polls," he said, "But I really became friendly with Mitt Romney; I liked what he said about China, about Opec" and all the other institutions around the world that are "ripping us off." »

Watch: Jimmy Fallon's 'Downton Abbey' Parody Is Back
25 May 2012 8:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's the battle of upstairs versus downstairs on "Downton Sixbey," the spot-on parody of BBC's "Downtown Abbey" from "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." But in this case, the stairs happen to take place in 30 Rockefeller Plaza in midtown Manhattan (in Studio 6B), not the North Riding of Yorkshire around the turn of the century.
In the second installment (watch the first here), a monologue lackey tries to become full "jokemen" by writing that perfect Kardashian joke, Fred Armisen plays one of the daughters and you get to hear the butler played by Steve Higgins ask Questlove, in a perfect Victorian British accent, "Would you like to choose your own afro pick, sir?"
Oh, and Whoopi Goldberg plays Quest's mother. Because of course.
We can't wait to see more of these, especially after the big reveal of the villain at the end. »

'The View': Courtney Stodden cat video 'disturbing'
23 May 2012 12:57 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It's been a while since we've heard from Courtney Stodden. But the teen bride is back and making it big time on "The View." Well...kind of.
During the "What's Trending Now?" segment on the daytime show, the ladies talked about Stodden's newest video called "Hello Courtney." The two-and-a-half minute YouTube clip features Stodden acting as a cat, complete with coughing up a hairball, (hopefully) pretending to eat cat food and playing in a litter box.
"I find it so disturbing," says co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Joy Behar was much more blunt. "Someone took too much cat nip," she says. Later, when Hasselbeck wonders whether Stodden is of legal age, Behar replies, "She looks 50. What are you kidding?"
Whoopi Goldberg takes the high road on the matter. She simply buries her head in her hands as it appears she couldn't bear to watch the clip.
So Zappers, what do you think about it? »

Matthew Badger: Every Day Is A Constant Struggle & Reminder Of My Girls
23 May 2012 9:34 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Matthew appeared on 'The View' on May 23 to talk about his three daughters who tragically died on Christmas Day when a fire broke out in their mother's home -- read on to find out what he said in this emotional interview. Just looking at Matthew Badger is heartbreaking because you know he's been through the most unimaginable tragedy. The father sat down with Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg and fought back tears as he talked about Lily, 9 and seven-year-old twins Sara and Grace. "I'm constantly reminded of them, a flicker anything that reminds me of the girls," he says. "It's constant grief." But Matthew has said that he's not scared because he's already lost everything. He went on to say that he's "never been more motivated" to work on the Lily Sarah Grace fund which he started to promote art in public schools. The investigation into the fatal fire of Badger’s Stamford, »

'Glee' finale: What do you want to happen to Finchel, Kurt, Puck, and the rest of the gang?
22 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Well, Gleeks, the bittersweet moment has arrived. After over 300 songs, a handful of Finchel breakups and approximately 526,000 Sue Sylvester schemes, it’s graduation time for the McKinley High seniors. Going into the finale, there are a lot of unanswered questions about Rachel, Kurt, Finn, and everyone else: It’s still unclear who is coming back next year and in what role. At Fox’s upfront presentation last week, it sounded like the details were still being hashed out.
Tuesday night marks the end of an era. Last week, New Directions finally won Nationals in Chicago and got a hero’s »

Gay X-Man's wedding announced, while execs promise a 'major iconic DC character' will come out of the closet
22 May 2012 9:34 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
This morning, the ladies of The View confirmed a long-rumored wedding announcement: An openly gay member of the X-Men will propose to his partner, with the marriage scheduled to take place in Astonishing X-Men #51. The French Canadian superhero Northstar became Marvel’s first openly homosexual superhero in 1992, and although it took nearly two decades for the guy to get a boyfriend, give Marvel credit for diving headfirst into the gay marriage debate, even at the risk of a stern blog post by Bristol Palin. The ladies of The View had a relatively subdued reaction. Avowed comic book fan Whoopi Goldberg loved it. »

Behind the scenes at 'Hip-Hop Squares' with Nick Cannon and Biz Markie
22 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Tonight, MTV2 will pull back the curtain on Hip-Hop Squares, the new rap-centric reboot of the classic game show Hollywood Squares. For those who never had the pleasure of watching the likes of Shadoe Stevens or Jim J. Bullock riff in syndication, the show goes a little something like this: The host (in this case New York radio DJ Peter Rosenberg) asks a question of one of nine celebrities, who are positioned on a massive upright Tic-tac-toe board, and each contestant chooses whether or not to agree with the celeb’s response. If they’re correct, they “win” the square. »

Glee: Why Season Three Has Hit All the Right (Emotional) Notes

Glee: Why Season Three Has Hit All the Right (Emotional) Notes
Over the course of its three seasons, Glee has rightfully received both great amounts of praise and criticism from numerous television reviewers around the web. Glee is a tough television program to categorize; it's part musical, part comedy (mostly coming from Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester), part teen soap, and part PSA (according to some). The show's shifts in moods and tones from not only week to week but also throughout a single episode's different storylines give certain TV critics whiplash. How can a show that has so many absurd and ridiculous moments (Sue's suggestion of using "little people" as props in the first episode of last Tuesday night's two hour Glee event is a great example) also tackle big issues such as domestic abuse or teen suicide? In my honest opinion (full disclosure, I have always been »

Monologue: Annette Bening. Still on the Grift.
21 May 2012 7:41 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
1990 was the year in which I saw the least amount of movies in theaters. I was overseas and when I returned I devoured everything. I don't recommend missing an entire year of cinema but I also can't deny that it's fun to catch up in massive marathons. My favorite shiny new plaything that year turned out to be Annette Bening. She had appeared in two movies before her breakthrough (The Great Outdoors and Valmont, the latter of which was barely released) but I wasn't familiar with her. In 1990 she ascended. She swiped a scene wholesale from Meryl Streep in Postcards from the Edge (in a way we didn't see again for another 18 years when Viola Davis rationalized away her son in Doubt) and sparkled and teased as Myra Langtry in The Grifters. She deservedly won her first Oscar nomination but the bid was doomed. "You in danger, girl" Ghost was »

2012 Billboard Music Awards: Highlights and Winners
21 May 2012 9:54 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards (TV) were held on Sunday night, as music's biggest stars gathered at The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas to celebrate the year's chart-topping achievements and pay tribute to some of their own. The show opened with a performance by electro-pop duo Lmfao and was hosted by Modern Family (TV)'s Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen. Adele was the top winner of the evening, scoring a total of 12 awards including Top Female Artist - though you'd never know it by watching the telecast. As is becoming more and more common, the majority of awards are not even handed out during the show in an effort to make room for more live performances. Lmfao ended up winning the second-highest amount of awards with six, and Lil Wayne and Cold Play each earned four. After a moment of silence to honor the passing of Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb, »

Whitney Houston Tribute At 'Billboard Music Awards'
21 May 2012 1:09 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There were several tributes to fallen musical icons on "The 2012 Billboard Music Awards" (Sun., 8 p.m. Et on ABC), including an impromptu moment of silence for Robin Gibb, who passed away the same day as the broadcast. Natasha Bedingfield sang a beautiful tribute to Donna Summer -- at least until the voiceover started talking over her and they cut to commercial in the middle of the song.
Wiz Khalifa gave a shout-out to McA (Adam Yauch) of the Beastie Boys before giving out the award for Best Duo/Group -- it went to Lmfao. Later, the hip-hop pioneer got a full tribute at the hands of Cee Lo Green and Goodie Mob. But the most moving tribute came for one of the greatest vocal artists in the history of popular music.
Whitney Houston posthumously received the Millennium Award. Her daughter Bobbi Kristina and sister-in-law Pat came up to accept on her her behalf. »

Danny Glover: the good cop
18 May 2012 4:11 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He found fame as a policeman in the Lethal Weapon films, but it's his political activism that really drives him. He talks about his beloved Haiti, Obama's disappointing presidency and his friendship with Mel Gibson
A few years ago, Danny Glover sat in his car and cried. The Hollywood star and political activist had just heard the news that his friend, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected president, had been toppled in a coup backed by the Us and France. "It was 28 February 2004 and I sat in that parking lot crying uncontrollably, knowing that we'd have to start building again."
Glover fixes me with tired eyes as we sit in an upstairs room of the Crossroads Women's Centre in London's Kentish Town on a rainy Saturday afternoon. He has just flown in from the Us and the same evening will give a speech at the centre during a fundraiser for the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. »

Suburgatory 1.22 "The Motherload" Review

Suburgatory 1.22 "The Motherload" Review
There are basically two types of season finales that can put into play, depending on a variety of factors. The first type is the clean finale, one that ties up loose ends, corrects mistakes, and generally finds each of the main characters in a pretty favorable place going forward. It might not make for the most compelling of television, but a clean finale is best utilized when a show is truly on the bubble or knowingly ending once and for all. A bubble show ending cleanly calms the inevitable firestorm of "Save Our Show" campaigns that pop up every May, while a show ending for good can spend its final moments basking in the happy and celebrating the characters we've all grown to love. Whereas a messy finale (like Suburgatory), with no (real) conclusions and little warm-and-fuzzy moments to speak of, leaves things hanging until next season, »

Blu-ray Review: Katherine Heigl Bombs Again in Unfunny ‘One for the Money’
16 May 2012 6:10 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – With each passing year, Katherine Heigl’s claims about Judd Apatow’s sexism appear increasingly absurd. While Apatow is producing A-grade work from female filmmakers, such as “Bridesmaids” and HBO’s “Girls,” Heigl is portraying shallow ditzes who are susceptible to chauvinistic, overgrown adolescents. “The Ugly Truth,” “Killers,” “Life as We Know It” and “New Years Eve” is not a track record worth bragging about.
Yet the worst crime committed by Heigl’s latest bomb, “One for the Money,” is that it is a complete bore. There isn’t a character or situation that inspires any modicum of interest. Viewers unfamiliar with novelist Janet Evanovich’s beloved heroine Stephanie Plum will fail to see what all the fuss is about. The script crams Evanovich’s hugely popular novels into a run-of-the-mill star vehicle fusing tired sitcom banter with a predictable murder mystery. This is the sort of picture that destroyed Whoopi Goldberg’s career. »
