Sorry, folks, Jimmy Kimmel didn't really buy that $1.9 million nude Bea Arthur painting
11 hours ago
Remember that nude painting of the late actress Bea Arthur that sold to an anonymous buyer at a Christie’s action for nearly $2 million last week? Well, yesterday afternoon, comedian Jeffrey Ross sent a pretty stunning tweet, revealing that the mystery buyer was none other than late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. “Biggest surprise of my life. Thank you @jimmykimmel – the most generous guy in the world!” Ross wrote, linking to a photo of himself holding what appeared to be the painting. Kimmel, in turn, tweeted back, “@realjeffreyross Bea is watching over us, but especially you.”
Various news outlets quickly jumped on the story but, »

PopWatch Confessional TV Jukebox edition: What songs do you wish you'd heard on TV this year?
11 hours ago
As I wrap up another season full of moving, sassy, romantic, and knee-slappingly funny music moments at TV Jukebox, I’ve been excited to single out some amazing tunes by new-to-me acts: Brooklyn’s sultry-spooky duo Ms Mr, soulful piano balladeer Sara Jackson-Holman, L.A. poppers Milo Greene, and singer-songwriter Adam Agin, to name a few. That said, I realized after taking stock of the nearly 300 songs I name-checked this past season that there were a few surprising omissions.
Perhaps these songs were too big or (more likely) expensive for their own good. Then again, that didn’t stop »

14 hours ago
I’ve made a huge, tiny mistake: I agreed to recap All of Netflix’s 15 new Arrested Development episodes, right away, in One blog post! What a fun, sexy time for me! ‘Huzzah!’
My plan is to start Sunday right at 3 a.m. Et — I’ll get three or four up, try to sleep, though yeah right, and start back up again around 1 p.m. Et. It’s going to take everything in my power not to keep pressing Rewind (like anyone would want to R her) to absorb every joke, screengrab, etc. There will be things I miss, but »

'Fast & Furious 6': That ending! That Ending! (Spoilers)
23 hours ago
So you’ve just finished watching Fast & Furious 6. You’ve seen planes and tanks and flipcars and Paul Walker’s alternate-universe girl-clone and one of the greatest headbutts in the history of human heads. You think it’s all over. The credits roll…and then they stop rolling. Warning: Spoilers Ahead. You see a Mercedes driving through the streets of Tokyo. If you’re a fan of the franchise, you immediately recognize the significance of the Tokyo setting — and you can guess that we’re watching a sequence set during The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

'Fast & Furious': 10 take-aways after an all-day franchise marathon
24 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT
In anticipation of Fast & Furious 6, I sat down one glorious Sunday afternoon to marathon the entire series. With a bottle of wine (okay, two), I made my way through The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, and Fast Five from approximately 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. (I took a few breaks). Here is where my head was at after nearly 10 hours of muscles, cars, and muscle cars.

Entertainment Weekly’s annual Summer Must List issue hits stands today, and readers eagerly awaiting the July 16 return of USA’s Suits will be happy to see the legal drama makes the cut. On May 15, we sat down with stars Gabriel Macht, 41, and Patrick J. Adams, 31, and asked what tops their lists.

Entertainment Weekly: So what’s on your Summer Must List?
Patrick J. Adams: [Shouts] The Daft Punk album! I can’t stop listening to that.
Gabriel Macht: Season 1 of The Wire. »

Season Finale Round-Up: Our TV critics on 'The Office,' 'Bates Motel,' 'Doctor Who,' 'Arrow,' 'Nashville' and more
24 May 2013 9:15 AM, PDT
‘Tis the season to end the TV season. A time of apocalyptic cliffhangers, teary eyed goodbyes, and of course, angry runaway wedding-crashing badgers. Speaking of spoilers: There will be a lot of them in our critical assessment of the year’s most notable finales so far, from The Office to Nashville to one not-so-happy Happy Endings. If your DVR cue is clogged with deferred climaxes… well, you should get that checked out, because it sounds painful. You should also not read everything that follows this colon:

Mariah Carey swears, has a wardrobe issue on 'Good Morning America' -- Video
24 May 2013 8:33 AM, PDT
Mariah Carey had a few problems on live TV this morning.
The singer accidentally said, “Oh s–t” on Good Morning America. She recovered by saying, “You didn’t hear that, I said shoot.” Watch her slip below:
To make matters worse, her dress also popped open in the back.
“What should we call this? The Central Park saga?” she asks anchor Lara Spencer, while someone tried to fix her outfit. “Or hey, I’ll just hold ‘em up the whole time. What are you gonna do?”

'Arrested Development': Who's the most quotable Bluth? Poll
24 May 2013 6:58 AM, PDT
One of Arrested Development 1.0′s greatest strengths was its knack for giving every single character (“Steve Holt!”), no matter how minor (“Baby, you got a stew going”), a full array of endlessly repeatable lines (“Say goodbye to these!”). That said, the show’s true quote-masters have to be the dysfunctional Bluth-Fünke clan. Nearly everything that originates with this ennead is worthy of being embroidered onto a sampler and framed, or at least written in caps and superimposed over a still from the show. (Or a still from Game of Thrones!)
But among these Lords of Laughter, which Bluth-slash-Fünke reigns supreme? »

10 things we learned from Billy Joel's big 'New York Times Magazine' interview
24 May 2013 4:00 AM, PDT
Has it really been 20 years since Billy Joel released his last pop album? Somehow, it’s true: Though the Piano Man has toured extensively, won a Tony, and even put out a collection of classical compositions over the last two decades, he hasn’t dropped an original chart-topper since 1993′s River of Dreams.
But why? Well, according to an extensive interview in this week’s New York Times magazine, the answer’s simple: “I got bored with it,” Joel says. “I wanted to write something other than the three-minute pop tune even though that’s an art form unto itself. »

Woohoo! 'Simpsons' fans rejoice! Universal Studios is building Springfield
23 May 2013 5:23 PM, PDT
Omg! Omg! Omg!
This could be the greatest news for Simpsons obsessives since those 7-Elevens were converted into Kwik-e-Marts to celebrate the release of the Simpsons movie.
Springfield, home of the three-eyed fish and hometown of Jebediah Springfield, is becoming a reality at Universal Studios’ Orlando amusement park.
While rumors have been floating for a while, Universal Studios officially announced today that they are expanding the area around the Simpsons Ride in Orlando to include an entire area that mimics the streets of Springfield. “And yes – there will be Duff Beer,” a release said.
Some of the attractions will include a Krusty Burger, »

Pop Culture Pet Peeve: Chain your door if you're in danger!
23 May 2013 1:13 PM, PDT
While we’re busy celebrating the best (and worst) in TV season finales, let’s also take a moment to air random grievances. One of my biggest pop culture pet peeves was poked by Law & Order: Svu’s season ender last night: People who know they could be in danger and do not use the chain on their door. Yes, the chain probably won’t do much, but isn’t it just human nature to use it if it’s there? Especially if, say, the sadistic serial rapist you were trying to put away — the one who likes to torture »

Lucille Bluth vs. the Disney Princesses
23 May 2013 12:31 PM, PDT
So I went a little nuts with Vine!
Mere days before Netflix’s May 26 Arrested Development binge, boozy-witchy Bluth matriarch Lucille has generously taken time out of her day-drinking to snap some sense into the damsels of Disney. They could all stand to lose some weight, by the way. You want your belt to buckle, not your chair. (Click the microphones on and off to hear the audio.)

Robert Kirkman talks about his crime comic 'Thief of Thieves.' Plus: check out the first four pages of the new issue -- Exclusive
23 May 2013 11:49 AM, PDT
Walking Dead comic writer Robert Kirkman may be King of the Zombies (or at least crown prince to George A. Romero’s Z-monarch) but he also toils on a number of undead-free titles, including the superhero-filled Invincible, the kiddie-aimed Super Dinosaur, and Thief of Thieves. The latter details the adventures of a light-fingered master criminal named Conrad Paulson and is produced by Kirkman in collaboration with other writers, including Andy Diggle (The Losers) whose first issue hits stores May 29.

Cars and the women who love them: Random hot girls in the 'Fast & Furious' films
23 May 2013 11:20 AM, PDT
The Fast & Furious sextet features many kickass babes — including Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Gal Gadot, Eva Mendes, Gina Carano, and Mrs. Chris Hemsworth. But it also has a lot of women who just love hanging around cars — in the least amount of clothing possible. Here are our favorites from the first five films — and what we believe they are thinking.
“That girl must also shop at the ‘Britney Spears circa ’98′ outlet.”
“We don’t have thoughts, we’re just a pair of bare midriffs.”
“When was the last time my roots were touched up?”
