Week in Review: Adam Lambert's Out There and Lovin' Every Minute of It!
1 hour ago
Robert Pattinson who? The man of the hour this week, for better or for worse, was Adam Lambert, whose undiscriminating use of both male and female private parts while he wailed "For Your Entertainment" at the AMAs got people talking. Not to mention clucking, finger-wagging and grandstanding. But such is what happens in a relatively slow week when most people are rushing back to the market for that one essential Thanksgiving item they forgot. Tums® are on aisle 1, ma'am. Your week in review is after the jump. 1. Adam Lambert ran amok! The Parent Television Council's favorite new punching bag went from mildly controversial American Idol runner-up to conservative lightning... »
Obama Gunning for White House-Crashing Real Housewives Wannabes
16 hours ago
Look out, Balloon Brood, you've got a couple other reality-tv-aspiring jokers ready to give you a run for your felony count. The Virginia couple that managed to crash a state dinner at the White House this week and get up close and personal with President Barack Obama is the subject of a federal investigation, officials announced Friday. At the behest of the president himself, investigators for the Secret Service are seeking evidence to potentially file charges against Michaele and Tareq Salahi—a couple attempting to land a spot on Bravo's upcoming Real Housewives of D.C. The Salahis on Tuesday snuck into the president's first state dinner, honoring the prime minister of India Tuesday,... »
Tiger Woods Ok After Driving Range Driveway Mishap
17 hours ago
Tiger Woods has no problem driving when it comes to a golf course. Navigating his street...that's another story. The 33-year-old master of the links is fine after a solo car accident outside his Windermere, Fla., home Friday morning. The accident occurred as Woods pulled out of his driveway, struck a fire hydrant and then smashed his Cadillac Escalade into a tree, according to an incident report from the Florida Highway Patrol. In a fitting bit of ingenuity, the Nike-endorsed star's wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to smash out the SUV's back window to get him out, Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn told E! News. When police arrived to the scene, Woods was lying in the... »
Chris Brown Ready for "In-Depth" ABC Sitdown
19 hours ago
Who needs Adam Lambert when you got Chris Brown? ABC announced today that it has landed an interview with the beleaguered R&B star and says that this time he really is going to come clean and talk about his assault of Rihanna. After dodging direct questions about the infamous Grammy-eve beatdown in interviews with everyone from Larry King to Wendy Williams, the "Crawl" singer is set to divulge details of the incident in an interview with Robin Roberts on ABC's 20/20 Dec. 11. The 20-year-old singer, whose new album Grafitti debuts Dec. 8, will only answer questions and will not perform on the show, which has already been taped. His ABC interrogation comes... »
Jimmy Fallon: Late Night Bartender
21 hours ago
Relax, Jimmy Fallon, the ratings aren't that bad—you still have your night job. Even so, the energetic Late Night host decided to work an impromptu shift as a bartender at a TriBecCa restaurant. Putting the Yay, in Jägermeister, the talk show host jumped behind the bar at Marc Forione and started pouring shots for everyone in the house and, according to the New York Post, shouted, "This round is on me." The only problem, Mr. Big (round of) Shots swiftly drained the place of Jäger, forcing a waiter to run out for two more bottles. A funny situation, for sure. Which means that Fallon probably cracked up and started laughing at himself, as he often does in his TV skits. »
Photo Gallery: A Brief Cultural History of Gays on TV
21 hours ago
No matter what side you're on in the culture wars, there's no denying the fact that if young people are more open and comfortable with homosexuality, it might just be because we've all grown up with many more positive images of gayness on TV and in movies. So in honor of Kurt Hummel's dad being "pretty cool" on Glee, and just because we like pondering the changing landscape of American pop culture, we've put together a gallery of landmark TV moments when gays and lesbians were significantly showcased onscreen. Wanna see? Click through our retrospective Gays on TV gallery below for a magical history tour. And then, since we've also noticed gayness on TV has gone from genuinely... »
This Isn't It for Michael Jackson, Others Not So Lucky
27 November 2009 7:05 AM, PST
It's never too early to be out of the hunt. We've known since forever, for instance, that Michael Jackson's This Is It wouldn't make Oscar's short list for documentary features, because the concert movie simply wasn't released by the Aug. 31 cutoff date. But This Is It did have viable options: Sony could wait for next year and then submit the film as a doc, or the studio could push for it this year in the non-doc categories. (Forget about Original Song, though—the film didn't have any. Original songs, that is.) Sony went the latter route. And while even director Kenny Ortega has called Oscar nominations "wishful thinking," it's not crazy thinking... »
We Give Thanks to Stars Who Tweet
26 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST
This year, we're thankful for all the famous people who jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. For fans, it offered the chance to feel more connected to their favorite stars (or at least more connected to their favorite stars' high-dollar ghost Twitterers). For haters, it gave new reasons to hate the stupid, mundane things these people think and tweet. For the famous, it offered a way to communicate without going through reporters or PR people. And for us gossip bloggers, it opened up a new platform for pointless celebrity feuds. It's all win-win-win-win. In fact, we're so thankful for the microblogging service, we've decided to honor our favorite Twitterers and dishonor our least faves.... »
Glee Love Debate: Should Rachel Be With Finn or Puck?
26 November 2009 7:36 AM, PST
If you're a Glee fan of any measure, you may have heard that certain Glee watchers are strongly split on one question: Who is Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) one true partner? Should she be singing duets with earnest jock Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) or harmonizing with edgy "jerk" Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling)? We're partial to both pairings, which means we could be persuaded either way, and that's why we're hosting another one of our irregular (but oh-so-fun) love debates. So we've opened the floor to speeches in favor of both Team Puckleberry and Team Finnchel, and selected the best two arguments to present to you today. Your job is to jump in here, read the resolutions in favor, and... »
Holiday Movie Feast: Ninjas! Foxes! Zefron!
26 November 2009 7:02 AM, PST
Do you like ninjas and talking animals? Or do you prefer Zac Efron and Viggo Mortensen? Oh, or maybe you're into old guys like John Travolta, because who isn't, right? Well, then this is the weekend for you. Obviously, a certain vampire movie still looms large over the megaplex, but there's a ton of new stuff in theaters, none featuring the sparkly undead. Here's our handy rundown of what's out, and what's good: Ninja Assassin Korean pop star Rain stars, but unless you're a huge fan and need see him shirtless and covered in blood, skip this CGI-splattered mess. Shoulda been a video game. Grade: C- Fantastic Mr. Fox Director Wes Anderson... »
Who Made So You Think You Can Dance's Top 10?
25 November 2009 9:47 PM, PST
So did So You Think You Can Dance make a shocking decision and send home a fan favorite this week, just before the crucial top 10 turning point? Did America lose their mind and leave Russell or Legacy stranded in the bottom six? Did the judges send home Ellenore instead of giving her the customary tongue bath? Or maybe did someone fall flat on his or her face, shocking the judges and the audience at home? No, no, no and no. In a totally predictable and righteous elimination decision, Karen and Victor went home tonight. They were a new couple without an established fanbase, and their two performances last night were lackluster at best. The other pairings in the bottom six were Ryan and... »
Twilighters Tweet Thanks for Making New Moon No. 1
25 November 2009 8:24 PM, PST
What are Twilight fans grateful for this Thanksgiving (besides the release of New Moon and the millions it made at the box office)? Tweets from from the stars themselves, of course! Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner took to the official Summit Twitter page, and gave Twi-hards around the world an early holiday treat. "Thank you for making New Moon #1. It's very exciting to be a part of something embraced by so many people," wrote the beloved R.Pattz. "I hope you are looking forward to Eclipse as much as I am." Lautner carried on the Thanksgiving spirit, saying: "Your passion for The Twilight Saga is the sole reason we're #1 across the world!" And... »
The Real Reason Oprah Quit Oprah: Sarah Palin!
25 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST
Something feels wrong in our bones. At first we thought the vague, nagging feeling was caused by that thing that we lifted that we shouldn't have lifted. Then we realized, no, it's Oprah Winfrey. She's the problem. She's holding out on us. Has to be. What savvy businesswoman would up and quit a money-making operation? Unless... Unless the savvy businesswoman stumbled onto a potentially bigger money-making operation. With a potentially bigger star than her own Oprah self. Would we dare suggest Oprah's departure from Oprah has nothing to do with literary metaphors (closing a chapter, writing a new story, blah blah blah), and everything to do with none other than Sarah... »
Beyoncé Is Yours on Thanksgiving
25 November 2009 1:54 PM, PST
Too tired to move after inhaling your Thanksgiving dinner? Just watch Beyoncé burn some calories instead. We wouldn't exactly call it different—or even "a little different"—but the diva's Turkey Day concert special, Beyonce: I Am…Yours promises to be a whole lot of fun. While the one-hour ABC event mainly consists of footage from Beyoncé's ongoing I Am tour—in particular, her show at the Wynn Las Vegas—fans will also be privy to some behind-the-scenes action, including rehearsals, the artist otherwise known as Sasha Fierce kidding around with her crew backstage, and home video of the 28-year-old hitmaker preening for the camera when she was merely... »
Brad and Angelina's Kid-Friendly Movie Night
25 November 2009 1:19 PM, PST
They're not old enough for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so what's family movie night like at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's house? How about the 1984 classic Karate Kid? Just the other night, Pitt attended a packed-house industry screening and Q&A for Inglourious Basterds at the DGA building in West Hollywood. After Karate director John G. Avidsen asked a question, Mr. Pitt took a moment to announce to everyone, "We just watched Karate Kid with the kids." And Pitt's not the only celeb we've spotted out and about this week. Keep reading for scoop on Chris Pine and new ladylove Olivia Munn, Sandra Bullock and Kim Kardashian… Beam Her Up: Star Trek stud Chris... »
Get Our Winter TV Premiere Dates Calendar!
25 November 2009 1:02 PM, PST
Thanksgiving is here, which means the fall TV season is over and we're heading straight into what the professionals call "midseason"—and what we fans just call "winter TV." To prepare you for this changing of the seasons, we've compiled a list of midseason premieres (including such highly esteemed shows as Chuck, Lost and 24), plus return dates for shows that are going away temporarily over the winter holiday and returning in early 2010. This calendar will be updated as we get new information, so: (A) Don't cry too hard if we don't have info yet for your favorite show—we promise to post it as soon as we know; and (B) be sure to save this page and return early and often... »
Justin Bieber: Blame Twitter for His Broken Foot
25 November 2009 12:42 PM, PST
Justin Bieber can thank Twitter for his broken foot. See, if it wasn't for the social networking phenomenon, the li'l guy may never have met Taylor Swift and therefore may never have gotten the chance to open for her at England's Wembley Arena. We'll let the Biebster explain... "Taylor made a video singing my song one time on YouTube," pop music's newest 15-year-old singing sensation tells us. "And so I twittered her. She was twittering me back and we got to hang out." Then Bieber went to one of Swift's concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City followed by another one in Nashville. "I got to hang out with her for a little bit...and we... »
Bella Cheats on Edward, Bones Jacob!
25 November 2009 11:26 AM, PST
We love us some Twilight, but even more we love us some Twilight spoofs! Taylor Swift was too funny with Firelight when she hosted Saturday Night Live, but this Breaking Dawn "scene" with Peter Facinelli (aka Dr. Cullen) might be one of our favorites! Check out the hilarious Attack of the Show clip above, where Peter gives you a preview of when Bella gives birth in Breaking Dawn. Hey, it's about time Bella gets hers! Seriously, we know Kristen Stewart may not be experiencing lack of action with lovah Robert Pattinson, but poor Bella keeps getting the shaft in these prissy books! (Or rather not the shaft.) When we talked with Peter back at the New Moon premiere, he told us he lives for... »
Gossip Girl: A Big Shocker and Why the Show Will Get Good Again!
25 November 2009 10:58 AM, PST
"I can't stand Gossip Girl this season! The storylines are boring, the chemistry is gone and even Chuck and Blair have lost their edge. Help! Is there any hope or should I stop watching?" This email just in from Natalie in Portland, Ore., and Natalie, we have a sweet little Thanksgiving gift for you: It is getting good again. Hands off the delete button on your DVR! It seems many of you fans aren't feeling the same love for the Upper East Siders this year, and sources close to the series tell me the creative powers behind it are well aware. "The producers had sort of a come-to-Jesus meeting where they realized the show was off track and decided to set it right," one insider who... »
Dancing's Done. Time to Party With the Stars
25 November 2009 10:55 AM, PST
After Dancing With the Stars' big finale last night, it was time for everyone to kick off their ballroom shoes, slip into something way more comfortable and party as if they had all just won a tacky disco ball trophy. Everyone, that is, except for the man who actually just won a tacky disco ball trophy. Yep. Champ Donny Osmond was not able to attend the festivities at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, as he and his fellow finalists, Mya and Kelly Osbourne, reportedly had to hop on flights to NYC to make the required talk-show rounds. So, while duty called for those three, the rest of Season Nine's participants happily took over the spotlight, with some... »
