'Survivor': Ranking all the seasons (including 'Samoa') from best to worst

49 minutes ago

Whether you love or loathe Evil Russell, most people agree that this season of Survivor: Samoa has been a good one. But how good? Where does it rank next to other seasons like Palau, Pearl Islands, and The Australian Outback? That's right, it's time for our oft-debated seasonal Survivor rankings! This is where I break down the first to the worst Survivor seasons, and tell you where the latest edition ranks (with two episodes left, at least). What will come in No. 1? Where does the oft-debated All-Stars season fall? And will Survivor: Samoa crack the top 10? The top 5? Click the »

Kim Kardashian and her bare shoulders invade 'CSI:ny'

1 hour ago

I was flipping through channels earlier and saw a Kardashian! Acting! On a popular primetime network show! What does this mean for the future of TV? If you missed it, Kim Kardashian was on a new CSI:ny tonight, playing (without any real spoilers) a not-so-nice gal who seemed to sashay through the precinct with very tan skin, perfect hair, and an off-the-shoulder top (in NYC, at Christmas?! Not likely with today's temperatures). I didn't think she was bad -- but I do have to say it's always distracting when "famous" people show up as "unknown characters" on TV. To that end, »

2 hours ago

PopWatchers, I only know the basics about the Iron Man universe. What I do know is that Iron Man 2 will undoubtedly be one of Hollywood's biggest hits next year, and that the movie's first trailer is a superb example of how to whet fans' appetites without giving too much away. So please, by all means, watch the trailer below and share your thoughts! What do you think of our first footage of Black Widow, War Machine, and Whiplash? »

Does David Letterman have something against Santa? Or Kris Allen?

6 hours ago

About three hours ago, American Idol cutie patootie Kris Allen tweeted that he would be performing with a "special guest" on tonight's episode of The Late Show with David Letterman. As you see here, said special guest was going to be Santa Claus playing the drums, but apparently the folks at The Late Show are in cahoots with the Grinch and nixed Kris Kringle pulling off his best Ringo. EW is waiting for clarification from the show's producers, so if we do hear why Letterman and co. have declared war on Christmas cheer, you all will be the first to know. »

Hallmark Channel goes HD just in the nick of time

7 hours ago

The Hallmark Channel will launch the network in High Definition on Feb. 1, 2010. I know what you're thinking: Golden Girls is going to look awesome! But after examining the channel's upcoming original film debuts, I realize this move was, in fact, necessary. Not so much for Feb. 13's Elevator Girl starring Mean Girls' Lacey Chabert and Final Destination 3's Ryan Merriman ("a stuck elevator brings a free-spirited woman and an uptight lawyer together"), but for March 6's Uncorked, a romantic comedy starring Dexter's Julie Benz and Men in Trees' Scott Elrod (pictured, right), and March 20's Healing »

'Project Runway' season 7 cast revealed: There will be bangs!

8 hours ago

I'm still hungover from the long, disappointing slog that was season six, but Lifetime's unveiling of a whole new crop of Project Runway hopefuls has me all kinds of excited today. For one thing, it'd be pretty hard not to improve on the last cast (like coupons at Macy's, some exceptions apply). But a quick glance at Lifetime's gallery of the 16 fresh faces who'll be on season seven (debuting Jan. 14) gives me hope that our show might be back on track. Hopefully. Some first impressions: -Bangs! No fewer than four contestants are sporting a sleek straight fringe (see photo, left »

Lisa Loeb to launch an eyewear line: Finally!

8 hours ago

Singer, songwriter, and eyeglass-trendsetter Lisa Loeb will be launching her own eyewear line through Classique Eyewear, and all we can say is: Uhh, what took her so long? The singer, who's known as much for her iconic cat-eye accessory as she is for the Reality Bites anthem "Stay," will include styles in black and tortoise-shell, along with rhinestones and other etchings for her frames. But just when you thought it couldn't get any better, each frame is named after one of Loeb's songs. That does beg the question: What color will "Stay" be? Or how about "Waiting for Wednesday"? Would you cop Loeb's eyewear style? »

'Sytycd' finale: Are you excited?

9 hours ago

There have been plenty of things wrong with this fall season of So You Think You Can Dance: judges' critiques have been too long, dances have been too short, and we've been forced to settle for a top 6 instead of a top 4. But the season's finale is gearing up to be a goodie: Not only are awesome dancers like Kathryn, Jakob and Russell still in the mix, but we're going to be treated to performances by Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert. (Take that ABC!) So are you excited for the finale, PopWatchers? Who are you hoping takes the title? »

'Dangerous Wands' joins the vaunted ranks of great 'Harry Potter' spoofs

10 hours ago

Sometimes, the best defense against the Dark Arts is to care. If you can rap, you can cast spells! Yet another installment in our ongoing efforts to compile all amazing Harry Potter ephemera: As someone who has seen the movie Dangerous Minds literally dozens of times (I've even read My Darling, My Hamburger), this makes me outrageously happy. The soundtrack might not top "Amish Paradise," but what does? Accio comments and reactions, PopWatchers! »

Style Hunter: Craig Ferguson's hand puppets

11 hours ago

If you watched Craig Ferguson's 1,000th episode last night, you probably realized that the Late Late Show host was noticeably absent from the milestone event. In his place was Wavy, his recurring crocodile hand puppet, who not only performed the monologue, but interviewed guests Jason Schwartzman, Kristen Bell, and Maria Bello as well. If you want to gets your hands on — or in— a plush puppet of your own, you can get your own Wavy courtesy of Folkmanis Puppets (folkmanis.com; $20), who has supplied Ferguson, as well as other shows like The Young and the Restless (really?), with many of their stage puppets. »

Was Megan Fox the hottest thing in 2009?

11 hours ago

Maxim and E! joined forces last night for a countdown of the Hottest Moments of 2009, honoring Megan Fox and the titillation surrounding Jennifer's Body as the year's most sizzling spectacle. I concede that Fox is hot, most especially to Maxim's readers, but calling her "the ultimate Hollywood It girl: a multi-talented actress with A-list appeal," feels grossly hyperbolic. Jennifer's Body, the celebrated moment of Fox's hotness, landed with a thud, making me wonder when Maxim's decision-makers finalized their list. "Megan's high-school horror flick had critics crowing about Fox's performance as the ultimate femme-fatale." Really? I don't remember that. Critic Richard Roeper »

Guilty Pleasures Semifinals: 'Tool Academy' vs. 'Wipeout'

11 hours ago

We’re in the Semifinals of our Guilty Pleasures Reality TV Showdown (see full bracket here). Now we're into the Competition category. Semifinals, Competition: Tool Academy vs. Wipeout Here's what some fans had to say during the first round of voting: Emoney on Tool Academy: "Tool Academy! I watched Season One while I was on maternity leave and the baby just slept all the time. Awesomest show ever. Love Matsuflex. Seriously, what kind of dude calls himself Matsuflex? Second only to Paradise Hotel on my list of all-time favorite reality shows." Brittany on Wipeout: "The commentary is hilarious not to mention the big balls! »

David Sedaris' 'Santaland Diaries': Who's your dream Crumpet?

12 hours ago

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Nicholas Brendon is currently in the midst of a sold-out run of The Santaland Diaries -- the one-man stage telling of David Sedaris' gut-busting tale of his time working as an elf at Macy's -- at L.A.'s Blank Theatre Company. I saw Timothy Olyphant play the part of David/Crumpet in New York in 1996, and I can still picture the perfectly pissy look on his face. Who would you kill to see perform it? I'm thinking Jim Parsons would do a nice delivery of the following: "Today, I witnessed fist fights and vomiting and magnificent tantrums. »

'Jersey Shore' stars pump 'Conan' set with poof, juice

14 hours ago

Pencil it in your history books, P-dubs. Jersey Shore stars Snooki and The Situation are now people for whom Megan Mullally and Andy Richter must stand up and scootch over. ("Scootch" would actually be a good Jersey Shore nickname, maybe for Slezak. Come to think of it, so would "P-dub.") The best part of their first segment on last night's Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien is Andy Richter's look of total disbelief at the entire situation after The Situation deems Conan "The Solution." Later, in part 2, Conan complains that he feels like he's been talking about nothing but their nicknames for 19 minutes. »

'Glee: Road to Sectionals' is on our Must List for Santa. What's on yours?

14 hours ago

Dear Santa, With only a few shopping days left, I have an urgent request. Can I pretty please have Glee: Road to Sectionals on DVD? It sits near the top of my Must (Get For Christmas) List right underneath "Jensen Ackles wearing a big red bow." I know that I haven't been the nicest person this year, but for the record, I blame Sue Sylvester. In case you've been busy building toys and such, allow me to explain. Sue is a ghastly lady (term used loosely) who says horrible things and generally despises breathing organisms. I fear that I have been influenced by her. »

Clip du jour: 'Christmas Light Hero'

14 hours ago

Forget the perfectly-placed plastic reindeer and elaborate animatronic North Pole workshops: This is the way to decorate your house for the holidays. Ric Turner of Burbank, California rigged his home's lights to Guitar Hero, and the results are amazing: You can read the full techy explanation of how he did it at Make, and you can watch his equally rad Halloween display below. Suddenly playing games on a TV screen seems like such a let-down, doesn't it, PopWatchers? »

Stephen Colbert captures 'Empire State of Mind'

15 hours ago

In my next life, I want to be Stephen Colbert. In addition to his many other career achievements, he's a personal hero of mine for hexing Larry David, telling a sitting president that he essentially had no clothes, and being knighted by the queen of Jordan (with Aragorn's sword, no less). But last night, he raised the bar -- and the roof. His duet with Alicia Keys was both hilarious and somewhat legit. Johnny Carson may have sung a bar with Bette Midler once, but what late-night-show host has the sack to take Jay-z's mic and rap "Empire State of Mind"? True, »

EW Exclusive: New poster from 'The Simpsons' celebrates 20th season

15 hours ago

All this poster is missing is Waldo. Tied to the DVD release of The Simpsons' 20th season (out Jan. 12), Fox has created an updated poster of their famous shot from 2007's The Simpsons Movie. Because, clearly, they did not fit enough characters on their first poster. Slackers. (You can only enjoy this new and improved poster in larger form here—this shot is exclusive to EW!) Springfield folks I'm glad made the cut this time around? The Golem from "Treehouse of Horror Xvii," the angel skeleton from "Lisa the Skeptic," and Ray Romano's Ray Magini from "Don't Fear the Roofer. »

Guilty Pleasures Showdown: 'Celebrity Mole' vs. 'Paris Hilton's My New Bff'

We’re in the Semifinals of our Guilty Pleasures Reality TV Showdown (see full bracket here). Now we're into the Competition category. Semifinals, Competition: Celebrity Mole vs. Paris Hilton's My New Bff Here's what some fans had to say during the first round of voting: MyLisa  on Celebrity Mole: "Celebrity Mole (Hawaii), hands down. Corbin Bernsen and Stephen Baldwin were hilarious together, and Kathy Griffin was right there with the snarky commentary. What I love with both Celebrity Mole editions is that they’re all actually having Fun! I recently saw the Yucatan re-run — Dennis Rodman *is* the Mole of Moleville. »

Leo loves messing with us: 'Inception' teaser poster hits

16 hours ago

This could not be any easier. Leonardo DiCaprio + Christopher Nolan + Mess-With-Your-Mind Thriller Genre = Give Me This Movie Now. The film is called Inception. It arrives next summer. The teaser poster has hit. My initial reaction:  Between this and DiCaprio's other psychological thriller Shutter Island, I think Leo has made it his mission to drive us insane next year.  What do you think of the poster? »
