Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 4, Episode 18 of Fox's "Glee," "Shooting Star."
Even before the April 11th installment of "Glee" aired, there was controversy. And Lauren Potter, who plays Becky Jackson, can't say she didn't see it coming.
Nearly halfway into the episode -- which had a Newtown, Ct victims advocacy group urging "Glee" fans not to watch at all -- the New Directions heard gunshots in the hallways and locked themselves in the choir room. The space that was last filled with Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" and the zig-ah-zig-ah's of the Spice Girls was dark, silent and filled with tears.
Eventually, the McKinley High students were released and shortly thereafter, the audience learned that Sue Sylvester's favorite Cheerio and the ultimate sassy sidekick, Becky Jackson, was the one who brought the weapon to school.
Just before the gunshots deafened McKinley, Becky told Brittany »

Why is it that Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Obama and Adele get all the love, while Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift and Peaches Geldof get it in the neck?
As the dust begins to settle on awards season, it becomes clear that some famous women get a lot more love than others. Rightly or wrongly, there are those whom everyone wants to make their instant best friend, and those who get it in the neck. Why is Adele so robustly likable, while the equally successful Taylor Swift often comes across like a wounded deer? Why would so many of us run into the nearest pub to neck shots with Jennifer Lawrence, and leave Anne Hathaway waiting in the car? Using deeply scientific methodology, we've uncovered the reasons behind this puzzling phenomenon.
Five women we love to love
The thing is, you don't always want a celeb to be "down to »

Pogs. Saved By the Bell. Macaulay Culkin was making good films. The Simpsons was still amazing. Kenan & Kel. The 1990s were great for a lot of reasons. And if you still long for the days of Britpop, Saturday morning kids' TV and Dale Winton's Supermarket Sweep, tonight's (January 31) ITV2 series The Big Reunion will be right up your street.
A '90s (and early '00s) nostalgia-fest, it features a handful of groups who made the decade poptastic, made curtain haircuts cool and had kids learning 'Bodyshakin' dance moves across the nation's playgrounds.

It might be brash and in-your-face, but the clever format of ITV dating show Take Me Out makes it a worthy successor to Blind Date
For moments when your brain wants to cease its revving and just gently tick over for a bit, there is nothing more satisfying than a dating show. So I gladly welcomed the return of Take Me Out for its fifth series on ITV1 at the weekend. I'm sure some of you survive entirely on a diet of University Challenge and BBC4 documentaries about salt, but the rest of us need fluff and glitter blown full-strength into our faces at regular intervals to even up the balance.
Blind Date used to be my favourite fluff of all. The nervous contestants, the crap puns, the sliding screen reveal, the post-date dissection. Humans looking for love teetering on high stools, respectfully presided over by Cilla and Our Graham. »
