This week marked the end of the ride for one DWTS contestant, after a shaky Latin Night performance and a five from one of the judges.

The entire cast was sad to see him go. Val Chmerkovskiy said he brought a certain spirit to the show, Mark Ballas said he’d miss his energy, and Karina Smirnoff said she would miss how sweet both Andy and his partner Sharna Burgess were.

30 April 2013 12:52 PM, PDT
[Spoiler Alert If You Haven't Watched The Season Finale Of The Following!!!!]
Last night’s season finale of The Following left us shocked but also full of questions. EW talked to executive producer Marcos Siega to clear up who’s dead and who’s alive as well as what’s in store for season 2.
Entertainment Weekly: I legitimately did not know what was going to happen in the last five minutes — I mean I knew Ryan and Claire weren’t going to have a peaceful dinner. I thought Weston might show up at the door.
Marcos Siega: We didn’t actually distribute the last scene to anybody. It was never part of the script. »

Kristen Bell to return as Cmt Music Awards host
30 April 2013 12:24 PM, PDT
Kristen Bell announced on Twitter this afternoon that she will return as host of the Cmt Music Awards, which will air on June 5.
Bell hosted the ceremony — which sometimes gets lost amongst the bigger awards shows like the CMAs and the ACMs — last year with Toby Keith. The pair had minimal chemistry on stage; I wasn’t a fan of their lame jokes. This year, Bell says she’ll be joined by a new co-host, but Cmt hasn’t announced which star will be filling Toby’s cowboy boots just yet.
yay! Heading back to Nashville to host the #CMTawards, »

'Under the Dome' to give 'Simpsons' shout-out
30 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT
The Simpsons did it!
But Stephen King thought it up first — the whole giant-transparent-dome-traps-small-town plot device.
Now CBS’ upcoming series adaptation of King’s Under the Dome is going to give the Fox animated hit a shout-out in return.
The backstory: King originally began work on his sprawling eco-parable bestseller in 1976, then shelved the project for a couple decades before picking it up again and ultimately publishing the novel in 2009. In the meantime, 20th Century Fox released The Simpsons Movie in 2007 with a broadly comic take on the same concept. Fox’s series The Simpsons then mocked the coincidence in »

'Million Second Quiz': An NBC exec explains the net's Orwellian reality experiment
30 April 2013 11:53 AM, PDT
When word broke last week that NBC had ordered a new reality game show featuring 24/7 competition, a possible $10 million dollar cash prize, and — oh yeah — live broadcasts for 12 consecutive days from “a gigantic hourglass shaped structure in the heart of Manhattan,” where the game’s champions will also live for the duration of the contest, the news was greeted with a collective “Huh?” The Million Second Quiz, frankly, sounded more like a ludicrous, Truman Show-inspired reality show parody than an actual event that will air on network TV this fall.
But according to Paul Telegdy, NBC’s president of alternative and late night programming, »

Fox’s The Following rallied for its first season finale, with ratings rising 8 percent among adults 18-49 to deliver the show’s best performance in seven weeks.

The search for the best hooker in America is coming to cable TV.

Hulu upfronts: Exclusive art from Seth Meyers' 'The Awesomes,' plus Chris O'Dowd's 'Moone Boy' gets a premiere date
30 April 2013 8:30 AM, PDT
One of the first things Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker realized they had in common when they met at Saturday Night Live in 2001 was a love of comic books. They always thought it’d be fun to do an animated show for adults about superheroes, and around 2006, the idea for The Awesomes began to crystallize. But it didn’t become a reality until they found the 10-episode series a home at Hulu, where it will premiere Aug. 1 (after a planned screening and panel at Comic-Con in July). The story revolves around the greatest superhero team in history, The Awesomes, and »

'Inside Amy Schumer' review: How one woman broke the rules of 'Cool Girl' comedy
30 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT
Amy Schumer is just as profane as any man, woman, or drunk robot on Comedy Central. Her new sketch-comedy show, Inside Amy Schumer, finds her auditioning for a role in the porn video “2 Girls 1 Cup” and dragging friends to O’Nutters, a male version of Hooters that features waiters in crotch-hugging outfits. But she’s not just another one of those hot, dirty “guy’s girl” types. Lately, too many of the talented funnywomen who’ve earned their own shows are trying a little too hard to appeal to men, always professing their love of rape jokes and threesomes and »
