Skylar isn't letting her shocking elimination get her down, especially after hearing Steven Tyler's special words of encouragement. Find out what the 'Idol' judge told her after the show! Skylar Laine's elimination from American Idol may be one of the most shocking yet, but the 18-year-old says she's relieved to be out of the competition. "There’s no pressure anymore, there’s no pressure about songs next week," she said after the May 3 results show. "I’m sad, but I just want to go home! I want to go home to my family, my friends, I wanna go mud ridin’ – that’s the first thing I’m gonna do." We hope she doesn't take too long of a break from music, though -- and we're not the only ones! Judge Steven Tyler told Skylar he has high hopes for her career. "Jennifer [Lopez] didn’t say much to me at the end, »

Skylar Laine took a very zen approach to her "American Idol" performance this week, telling Zap2it twice before her eventual elimination on the Top 5 results show that she tried her best but was expecting the worst. It must have worked, because when she finally enters the backstage press area to talk to reporters after the show, she seems very relaxed about her exit.
"I'm really not surprised, because you can't be," she admits to Zap2it. "At all. You never know what's going to happen from week to week, seeing by the weird results this whole past season. I'm just relieved right now. No more stress."
There's certainly a lot less preparation involved in the week-long press tour she's about to embark on. "There's no pressure anymore; there's no pressure about songs next week," she says. "I'm sad, but I just want to go home! I want to go home to my family, »

He's best known for a couple of cult TV shows and the odd, welcome film cameo. Yet Jeffrey Tambor's acting workshop is the hottest ticket at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. He talks about his mission to instil confidence
South by Southwest rightly prides itself on being the trendiest of festivals. It's all about flipping the script and pushing the envelope. Breaking the mould and blowing the doors off. Yet the two hottest tickets this year were for seminars by sixtysomething white men who came on stage with nothing more hi-tech than a microphone.
Bruce Springsteen is pretty easily explicable. Jeffrey Tambor? Maybe a little less so. The man best known for brilliant turns in a couple of cult TV shows (he was narcissistic sidekick Hank Kingsley in Larry Sanders, cracked patriarch George Bluth in Arrested Development)? The man who pops up for big-screen cameos when »

Andrew Garfield makes his Broadway debut in “Death of a Salesman” opening Thursday. The actor, born in Los Angeles but raised in England, attempts to channel his inner-American for the part of Biff.
The starry production, with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman, marks the fourth revival of the Arthur Miller classic. The pressure is on Mr. Garfield: the same role served as a breakthrough part for a young John Malkovich, who played Biff »

With the Oscars finally concluded and cleared up for another year, with familiar lessons learned and perturbing trends set for the rest of the year, time comes for evaluation and discussion, thoughtful or otherwise. And one thing is clear: if there was predictability to be had in 2012, it came in the acting categories.
Although precious few will dispute the merits of the Dujardins, Streeps, Plummers and Spencers of the acting world, or even protest their victories, more talk comes about who didn’t win (Gary Oldman, and I will not pipe down about this), and those who weren’t even nominated (Hunter McCracken; Again, not letting it slide).
On various occasions throughout the years, an actor has given a truly outstanding performance in film, one that deserves all the plaudits and riches in the galaxy. And often, for varying circumstances, this same performer has had to settle with a simple, »

MTV The cast of “Jersey Shore”
Yeah buddy!!
After spending part of New Year’s Eve day watching the “Jersey Shore” marathon on MTV (and wondering why Sam and Ron didn’t break up for good), I’m just about ready to welcome back our orange friends. When we left them in October (coming home from Italy), the Situation was thinking not going to Seaside, there was enough Snooki/Jionni drama to last 2 seasons (but strangely no Sammi/Ronnie drama »
