'House' series finale: A look back at the best episodes

20 May 2012 2:12 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"House," the medical drama that has also been a character study of a misanthropic genius doctor played wonderfully by Hugh Laurie, is coming to a close Monday, May 21 after eight seasons. Zap2it would like to take a look back at the strongest episodes of the series.

It was hard to narrow down, indeed. The show has always been fairly strong, with individual episodes that we'd put right up there with the best of any show. But here are the ones that made the cut.

"Three Stories," S1, E21

The first season of "House" was fine - but the show really took off with "Three Stories." House gives a lecture to a class of medical students, recounting three different leg injuries. Carmen Electra gives a rather delightful guest-starring turn and the viewers finally find out why Dr. House has his limp.

"No Reason" - S2, E24

In the first of many solid season finales, »

CBS Fall TV 2012 predictions: Will 'The Good Wife' move, and will 'CSI: Miami' and 'CSI: NY' both survive?

11 May 2012 6:06 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

CBS took much of the suspense out of its upfront by renewing the great majority of its lineup back in March. "Two and a Half Men" wasn't on that list, but it's a lock to return.

The only questions now are, where does the network put all those shows? And of the remaining shows not yet renewed, will both "CSI: Miami" and "CSI: NY" make it to next season?

"The Good Wife" is already picked up for 2012-13, but there's been a lot of speculation that CBS will find a new timeslot for it. We don't mind it staying at 9 on Sundays -- but in our schedule, it waits until midseason so it A) doesn't get pushed back by NFL overruns in the fall and B) can have a mostly uninterrupted run starting in January. The network is also reportedly considering expanding its Thursday comedy block, which would move one »

CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY Sweep Awards, But May Get Cut

2 May 2012 12:42 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Too big to fail? That attitude died with Enron and was buried under the ashes of AOL-Time Warner. Now CSI needs to watch its neck.

The franchise dominates viewership around the globe. It just swallowed up three nomination spots for the International TV Audience Awards at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. It rakes in ratings that would make the NFL green with envy.

It also stands to lose one of its shows to satisfy CBS’s bottom line.

What, you thought this racket was about ratings? Audience following? Artistic merit?

It’s the same the world over: All about the shekels. And CBS has come to a point where it wants to shift cash into fresh projects, rather than keep shelling out for a series that can already make millions on syndicated re-runs.

The warning signs are all there. The syndication for the CSI spin-offs is locked into a robust alphabet soup of cable networks – TNT, »

Halle Berry confirms Olivier Martinez engagement

18 April 2012 6:48 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Halle Berry may have thought she'd never remarry, but everybody can be wrong some time. She has confirmed her engagement to French actor Olivier Martinez to "Extra's" Terri Seymour

"Who knew? I swore [marriage] off, right? Never say never, people!" says Berry, on the red carpet for the 2012 Jenesse Center Silver Rose Gala this past Saturday (April 14), an event that benefits victims of domestic violence.

Martinez had actually already confirmed the engagement, telling the Miami Herald back in March that "of course it's true."

Berry has previously been married twice - to baseball player David Justice and to singer Eric Benet. She also has a 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Martinez has previously been linked to Aussie songstress Kylie Minogue, actress Mira Sorvino and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, though he has never been married.

Martinez and Berry met on the set of 2010 movie "Dark Tide" and have been together ever since. »

The Nineties.

15 April 2012 8:02 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Good evening America. It has recently come to my attention that I enjoy the nein•a•dees. I came upon this realization on Saturday whilst watching Titanic (1997) starring Billy Zane, The Unsinkable Annie Wilkes... and Suzy Amis. After removing my misty used 3D glasses sponsored by The Lion King, I gazed wistfully at photos of blk dnm's "leather jacket 8" modelled by Juliette Lewis and Chloe Sevigny. In two dimensions. 

Later indulging in buttery spaetzle, courtesy of Hallo Berlin and nein-a-dees university mates, we considered trapeze lessons and discussed the puzzling career of Mira Sorvino before spotting Primal Fear's Edward Norton in the 10th row at "The Lady From Dubuque" starring four time Oscar nominee Jane Alexander. She twirled her angelic shawl with all the grace befitting an Albee abstraction. Or Stevie Nicks at a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour.

'Titanic 3D,' 'American Reunion' And More: Double Feature Friday!

6 April 2012 2:59 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Three of this week's releases have more than a little 90s vibe to them. "Titanic" is back on the big screen, Jason Biggs is doing things that no one really wants to see, and a 90s auteur makes his long-awaited return. The movies also make for some great 90s pairing, so if you're interested in a perfect complement to your weekend of nostalgia, check out this week's Double Feature Friday.

"Titanic 3D" & "Tomorrow Never Dies"

On December 19, 1997, three new films debuted. One was a minor Gore Verbinski work called "Mouse Hunt" with Nathan Lane and Lee Evans. (How was that not a smash?) The other two were James Cameron's "Titanic" and Pierce Brosnan's second James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies." One went on to become the highest grossing movie of all time. The other faded in with the rest of the 007 cannon, seen largely as lesser than "GoldenEye. »

Sorvino Addresses United Nations About Human Trafficking

5 April 2012 6:41 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Mira Sorvino addressed members of the United Nations on Tuesday in a bid to put an end to human trafficking.

The Mighty Aphrodite star, a Goodwill Ambassador for the organisation, appeared at a General Assembly meeting in New York and urged member states to do all they could to stop the practice, which involves an estimated 2.4 million people.

Sorvino said, "Modern day slavery is bested only by the illegal drug trade for profitability. Transnational organised crime groups are adding humans to their product lists. Satellites reveal the same routes moving them as arms and drugs."

The actress also called for stronger legislation and better police training in dealing with the problem.

She has been a fervent activist for international women's rights since starring in the 2005 TV movie Human Trafficking. »

NYC Beating La In TV Drama Pilot For The First Time

30 March 2012 8:18 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

Fresh off the heels of Mayor Bloomberg's grand announcement that the city would be opening five new soundstages, comes news that a record number of television drama pilots are currently being filmed right here in New York.

According to Deadline, 11 pilots are shooting this season, up from nine last year and Zero in 2010. Which all translates into why New York is yet again superior to Los Angeles! The major uptick in drama pilot production signals the first time New York has eclipsed our west coast rival, all part of a lovely trend that follows last summer's record-breaking 23 television series being filmed in New York.

Our introduction to the 11 pilots contributing to our new source of pride:

666 Park Avenue ABC

This "supernatural-tinged" show will reportedly star Vanessa Williams and "Grey's Anatomy"'s Rachel Taylor. It will focus, like so many other shows, on the drama of living in luxury apartments in the Upper East Side. »
