31 December 2012 12:00 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Once Upon a Time is adding Sonequa Martin-Green to its ranks for Season 2 — if not beyond.
TVLine has learned that the actress, whose TV credits include The Walking Dead and The Good Wife, will appear this season in multiple episodes as Tamara. No further details on the character were made available, though TVLine’s previous intel indicates that Once was initially angling to cast an African-American with a British accent in the part, and that Tamara could spill over into Season 3 of the ABC drama.

Hannity, O’Reilly See Ratings Plummet
1 hour ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Politico.com media columnist Dylan Byers has taken issue with New York Daily News TV writer Don Kaplan, who on Sunday headlined his column “Political commentator Sean Hannity was one of the big losers in the 2012 election.” Kaplan had written that Hannity’s ratings had “cratered” following the election as he lost around half his audience, while colleague Bill O’Reilly’s audience had dropped by nearly a third. He attributed the loss to viewer disillusionment over Hannity’s repeated forecasts — and those of his guests — that Mitt Romney would defeat Barack Obama by a landslide margin. Byers, on the other hand, »

6 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
“Seacrest, the show must go on.”
-Ryan Seacrest, minutes before midnight in New York, recounting the classic showbiz-ism that Dick Clark used to say to him
To usher in 2013, Ryan Seacrest took the helm on ABC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. Seacrest was the pre-determined heir, having hosted alongside Clark since 2005.

Taylor Swift on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve': Live(?) from Times Square
14 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Taylor Swift was one of the headliners of ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" Monday night (Dec. 31), ringing in the new year by performing two hits from "Red" live in Times Square.
Or mostly live, anyway.
Swift, wearing black leather pants and a sparkly red jacket, ripped through "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" about 20 minutes before the ball dropped in Times Square. But on the first song at least, it looked as though she was getting some help from a backing track.
"We Are Never Ever" sounded as though it was mostly live -- and really, an artist using a backing track at a huge outdoor venue is hardly surprising anymore. And, as usual, Swift commanded the stage and had the huge crowd in the palm of her hand.
Take a look at Swift's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" performance below and let us know what you think. »
