"Glee" Season Finale Recap: "Goodbye"
23 May 2012 1:13 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
You know the theory that fans only accuse a show of bad writing when things happen that they don't like? Last night's season finale proves that theory wrong, at least as far as Klaine and Brittana fans go.
See, I can imagine a brilliantly written episode full of things all those fans, including me, would have hated. I have no trouble envisioning a phenomenally plotted season finale in which either or both couples break up, or at least suffer huge relationship angst. That episode could have been so well written we'd have all been crying and writhing on the floor and breaking Tumblr with our grief. And it might have made me want to die, but I wouldn't have said it was badly written.
But those things didn't happen. Kurt and Blaine are strongly together, and we didn't get any hint or suggestion that they would be anywhere but still »

Glee Season 3 Finale Recap: Bye-Curious
22 May 2012 6:59 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
If you have yet to watch Tuesday’s Glee season finale, hit the nearest exit. Everyone else, read on…
It’s fitting that Glee‘s third-season finale ended with the bittersweet ritual of high-school graduation, and not just because half of the show’s characters happened to be members of the William McKinley High senior class.
Indeed, with Glee‘s future in flux — early word is that the show will split focus between Lima, Oh, and the adventures of a number of characters in NYC in Season 4 (read this week’s Ask Ausiello for more details) — there’s a cloud »

Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison in Glee Finale “Goodbye” Preview
22 May 2012 3:38 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
“Goodbye”, the Glee season 3 finale airs tonight, and to cap off the build up to the big graduation for members of New Direction team that included the initial tv teaser and an emotional extended clip of the episode. As you probably already know, Gloria Estefan will be appearing in the role of Santana’s mother, and you can see her in several of these pictures in this episode promo image gallery that we have from Fox. Some of the songs you will hear in the finale include work from the Beatles, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Lea Michele will perform “Roots Before Branches” by Room for Two.
No worries though Glee fans. Season 4 of Fox’s hit show already has steam behind it, already announcing some guest stars in to look forward to in Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson, and another musical tribute episode for Britney Spears.

Lea Michele's Favorite Family Activity Is Getting Tattooed
22 May 2012 7:35 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Her Glee alter ego doesn't get much edgier than a Madonna dance routine, but off camera, Lea Michele's inner bad girl makes an outward appearance - 14 times. The actress, who plays Rachel Berry on the Fox series (whose finale season airs Tuesday night), flaunts more than a dozen tattoos and says her ink addiction runs in the family. "I come from a very big Italian family, and tattoos are very popular," Michele, 25, said on Monday's Late Show with David Letterman. "We'll be like, 'Let's all get tattoos.'

Glee: Listen to the Songs from the Season 3 Finale "Graduation"
The Glee season 3 finale will be airing this week and, with it, comes graduation.
A lot of the Glee cast acknowledges the bittersweet sadness that came with filming the finale, which marks the last time for New Directions all together in the choir room.
Recently, Ryan Murphy addressed the concern of what would happen to the graduating characters in season 4. According to Vulture, "We had a meeting, and you know we've become like a family, and I said to them, 'Anybody who wants to stay on the show will stay on the show,'" he said. "They're all coming back. Anyone who is a regular is coming back. Everyone said yes." That doesn't necessarily mean that all of the characters will be back for the entire season, however. There's no concrete plan yet how long they will last on »

Sheril Antonio: Vintage Spike Lee on HBO
20 May 2012 10:44 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Last month HBO was showing Spike Lee's Girl 6(1996) and this month (until May 28) Crooklyn (1994).
I have been encouraging folks to take a look at the films and report back on how it compares to their first viewing -- if they have seen it before and if they have not, how it aligns with their "understanding" of the auteur's style. I am currently writing about his contributions to American cinema and not only was I surprised at the results, but, so were the individual spectators. The truth is that Lee's films are far more complex than people remember or are conscious of when watching them. Here are some of the things I called attention to in our post viewing conversations about Crooklyn and Girl 6:
1: They each have women at the center of the narrative.
2: The director appears in both films.
3: They have elements that »

For "The Simpsons" Season 23 finale, pop/dance sensation Lady Gaga lends her voice when she guest stars as herself. When Lisa's get-popular scheme backfires and her popularity plummets to an all-new low, Lady Gaga receives a psychic force telling her Lisa needs help.

Check out these preview clips. In the above clip, Gaga (in a hummingbird-turned-Grammys dress) performs a "Little Monsters" song dressed a little bit like "Vogue"-era Madonna. In the below clip, Gaga advises Lisa that she needs a flash mob.
Are you excited to see Gaga get "Simpsons"-ized?

50 Years of Stars Copying Marilyn Monroe's Sultry Birthday Song
19 May 2012 7:10 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
var brightcovevideoid = '1646277566001'; It's been 50 years since Marilyn Monroe offered a sultry musical greeting to then President John F. Kennedy on his 45th birthday. The song, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" has become iconic - parodied and celebrated in pop culture for the past five decades ever since it was performed on May 19, 1962. People.com is paying homage to the cultural moment with this roundup of equally star-studded renditions - from Mike Myers in character as Wayne Campbell to Madonna's 1993 version on SNL to the stars of Smash, vying for a role in a Marilyn-themed musical, this year.

Morning Meme: "Political Animals" Serves Up a Gay White House Son, Closet Cases Bug Jake Shears, and Did Sir Elton Take Another Dig At Madonna?
18 May 2012 4:45 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
A lot of celebrities had words to say about the passing of Donna Summer, but leave it to Sir Elton John to squeeze in a dig at (presumably) Madonna in his. "I'm so sad. This woman was the queen of disco and so much more. Her records sound as good today as they ever did. That she has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace, especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted. She is a great friend to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will miss her greatly."
It's common wisdom that Gene Roddenberry pushed to have actors of color like Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek to create his perfect future world, but was it actually NBC recruiting people of color like Nichols and George Takei to help launch their switch to color television? »

Glee Season Finale Sneak Peek & Photos: The End of an Era

Glee Season Finale Sneak Peek & Photos: The End of an Era
In a fitting send-off for the third season of Glee, New Directions won Nationals in this week's penultimate episode. Next week marks the season finale and everyone seems to know that this is the end of an era.
With a group of seniors graduating from McKinley High, we have to wonder which characters will be leaving the show for good. Based on some preliminary spoilers for season 4, we also know that the graduating seniors who will be sticking around for next season will be heading to New York and will continue to have their stories featured on the show. But the finale marks the last time that this group will be singing together in the choir room, prompting quite a few of the actors on the show to shed a few tears.
In next week's finale, members of New »

Madonna's secret set list for tour revealed - Realbollywood.com News
14 May 2012 11:33 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
New York, May 15: Madonna's upcoming tour will reportedly rely profoundly on her new 'Mdna' album, but it will also include a lot of her older hits.
According to super-fan website Madonnarama, the 53-year-old star will perform a medley of her own "Express Yourself" with the Lady Gaga song that rips it off, "Born This Way", the New York Daily News reported.
The lengthy set supposedly leans heavily on the new latest album, featuring no fewer than nine songs from that disc.
But it doesn't skimp on older hits, including "Material Girl," "Like A Virgin," "Papa Don't Preach,". »

No Really This Time: Madonna's Mdna Tour Set List Edition
14 May 2012 2:49 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
The ever-vigilant Madonna-watcher over at Boy Culture (among a few other sites, including notoriously reliable Madonnarama) are claiming to have their hands on the final set list for Her Madgesty's soon-to-launch "Mdna Tour." (Which is not to be confused with an earlier set list that was floating around … apparently that was just for fun.)

If this is indeed what fans around the world will be hearing when the tour kicks off at Tel Aviv, Israel's Ramat Gan Stadium on May 31 (two days later than previously scheduled due to production delays), we think fans will be pleased. The set list manages to be a good mix of the best from Mdna and some smartly selected classics, along with a few surprises.

25 People I'd Rather See Judge "X Factor" Than Britney Spears
14 May 2012 1:10 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
As you may have gleaned, I really like great judges on reality TV. While it takes a primed pro like Ryan Seacrest or Cat Deeley to make sure the entire operation runs smoothly, the judges can elevate the quality of a reality competition from vapidly entertaining to thoroughly compelling. Since the always-dubious Britney Spears is poised to super-officially announce her gig as the new panelist on X Factor, it's time to step up and declare who should really be filling Paula Abdul's shaky shoes. I've got 25 better candidates, ranked and ready for Simon Cowell's consideration.
25. Katy Perry
Sure, she's kitschy and a little shallow, but she's entertainingly goofy and even earnest in interviews. Katy Perry would also be likely to grade the energy and stage presence of contestants, which is always a sorely under-discussed component on these shows.
I worry he'd be even less critical than Adam Levine, »

Next Factor: 'Battleship' Star Rihanna
14 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Rihanna is already an international superstar as a musician, but this month marks her official transition from singer to actor, with her debut role in the board game-based summer release "Battleship" (May 18). The Caribbean hitmaker follows in the footsteps of such multi-hyphenate talents as Jennifer Hudson, Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé, but Rihanna's acting-career potential will potentially sink or swim with the fate of the $200 million blockbuster.
We're willing to bet most of her fans (us included) will want to see the "Umbrella" singer kick some alien butt from a state-of-the-art "Battleship."
Age: 24
Hometown: St. Michael, Barbados
What She's Done: You know, the usual -- winning multiple Grammys, selling millions of albums, breaking industry records and performing in front of heads of state, royalty, and hordes of adoring fans. But, despite contributing to dozens of soundtracks and appearing on a couple of "Saturday Night Live" sketches, this is Rihanna's first acting role. »

Will Ferrell hosts tonight's 'Saturday Night Live': Talk about it here!
12 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Will Ferrell doesn’t need to do much to win over Saturday Night Live’s audience. If he appears dressed as Alex Trebek, they’ll be eating out of his hand. If he so much as says the word “cowbell,” the cheers will be deafening. So on tonight’s show, will Ferrell simply break out his George W. Bush, bring back Rachel Dratch for another “Lovers” sketch, do a few “Gou-let”s for good measure, and call it a night? Or will he — and the rest of SNL’s cast — reject retreads of old sketches in favor of new material? »

W.E. | Review
12 May 2012 12:13 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Madonna’s first foray into directing in film, Filth and Wisdom, was something of a mess; bouncing between a number of disconnected scenes and even a musical number by the lead singer of Gogol Bordello, Madonna gave the audience little to hold on to both visually and narratively. With her sophomore effort, W.E., balancing the love story of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII with that of the modern Wally who admires her legacy, Madonna manages to fix half of her earlier directorial failings by giving us plenty to look at in a story that manages to maintain a more cohesive form. Unfortunately, these modest successes are overshadowed by a poorly written and overlong story that relies on heavy-handed, expository dialogue to establish every character and plot point.
