Clone High Episode 2 ‘Episode Two: Electric Blu-Galoo’
Written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
Aired 11/3/02
When you were in high school, how far were you willing to go to get the person you liked to notice you? Like I said last week in the review of its pilot, one of the many levels of brilliance within Clone High is the show’s ability to make heart-warming parodies of teenage angst, and the extremes we’re willing to go to be popular and loved.
Of course, for Abe, this is truly taking things to the extreme (or X-Stream). When Cleo finds out she can’t run for re-election of the class thanks to some lame term limits, and plans to manipulate either JFK or Abe into winning to supplement the amount of popularity she stands to lose without being the head of the student body. Most of ‘Episode Two’ revolves around »

Broadway is saying one permanent good night (Rip Breakfast at Tiffany’s), and hellos to stage stalwarts as varied as Alec Baldwin, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale and Constantine Maroulis. And Motown legend Berry Gordy throws his hat into the ring too. So, who’s most worth your hard-earned bucks? (Click on the links below to read the full reviews):

Nobody ever called Kid Rock, Detroit’s bare-chested musical ambassador to the world, a tame guy.
“I mean, he gets paid to drink Jim Beam.” says Jeremy "Jd" Deputat, who photographed I’m Kid Rock, What’s Your Excuse?, a large format 176-page glossy photography book following the singer-songwriter's summer 2011 ”Born Free” tour. “I just never really went home.”
I'm Kid Rock, What's Your Excuse? is available for sale Tuesday at the photographer's online store. What was photographer Jeremy “Jd” Deputat’s excuse? He was just along for the ride.

“It started out as 10 days of shooting throughout the summer -- it turned into four months of private jets, helicopters and hotel rooms that were never slept in,” said Deputat, who edited more than 30,000 images of Kid Rock (featuring cameos by actor Sean Penn, and talk show hosts Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon) taken that summer »

“He gave Stella her groove back. He broke hearts — and fixed them — on ABC’s Private Practice. He’s done it all: film, television, theater. But in his next act, an unlikely partnership with underground rap sensation DeStorm Power would change an entire genre of music… forever.”
So begins this Behind the Music-esque video from ABC.comedy, which dramatizes Taye Diggs’s fake attempt to become a hip-hop icon. The twist: Though Diggs seems like one of those guys who’s just naturally great at everything, he’s actually the worst rapper this side of Mc Skat Kat. But »

Chicago – In the Disney canon, few recent films are less-remembered than “Brother Bear,” a movie that came out as acclaim and animation legacy was transitioning from the Mouse House to Pixar. It’s one of the last hand-drawn animation films in the history of Disney and came at a time when CGI was about to dominate. Only ten years old, it looks more like an early ’90s product. And yet it was huge. It made over $250 million worldwide. So, it clearly has serious fans who will love to own it and its straight-to-dvd sequel, “Brother Bear 2,” in HD.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
“Brother Bear” is a sweet, gentle film that came out at a time when Pixar was revolutionizing the form. It also feels just a bit too much like a retread of stuff that Disney had done before, both in classics and even recently in films like “The Lion King” and “Pocahontas. »

New York, Mar 14: Ne-Yo is being sued for defamation by his former girlfriend Jesseca White, who once claimed that the singer was the father of her child.
White gave birth to a son named Chimere in 2005 and listed Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, as the father on the birth certificate.
A subsequent paternity test, however, proved her wrong.
They reached a 575,000-dollar settlement agreement in 2009, but now White claims that the 'Let Me Love You' hitmaker breached an agreement to not go public with information about their relationship.
Ne-Yo did a September 2012 episode of 'Behind the Music'. »

It's because of him, she's suing. A woman who claims Ne-Yo falsely portrayed her and their relationship on VH1's Behind The Music has slapped the R&B star with a defamation lawsuit. According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by E! News, Jessica White alleges that the Sept. 23, 2012 episode in question presented a slanderous narrative based on "false information" Ne-Yo provided. Court documents state that the show wrongly painted White as an "unchaste woman who deliberately tricked [the singer] into believing he was the father of her child, Chimere, so that she could fraudulently bilk him of 'ungodly amounts of »

Ne-Yo is being sued by a former love interest who falsely claimed he was the father of her child. The 30-year-old singer - who has two children Madilyn Grace and Mason Evan with his actress fiancee Monyetta Shaw - has been named in a new lawsuit filed by Jessica White, who claims he defamed her in an interview on VH1's 'Behind the Music' last year. According to gossip website TMZ.com, Jessica claims Ne-Yo painted her as 'an unchaste woman who deliberately tricked him into believing he was the father of her child ... so that she could fraudulently bilk him of 'ungodly amounts of money,' during the interview.

Nicole Scherzinger took it back in time with her cornrows when she stepped out for dinner in London on March 7. Do you love or loathe this back-in-the-day look?
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, 34, was seen stepping out on the scene with the top of her head in large cornrows and the rest in a ponytail. The March 7 sighting of the recording artist was a bit usual due to the choice of her hairstyle. Along with her look-at-me hairstyle, she wore bright pink lipstick and metallic gold heels. Was her look hot or not?
The star recently spoke with Daily Mail about the British version of The X Factor. The former judge reveled that she is “dancing around” the idea of returning to the talent show. Nicole has not completely ruled out rejoining the team for the new season.

Ah, the eternal question -- at least around the Moviefone water cooler -- what to watch this weekend? But, there are so many choices! Or, sometimes, not enough. Luckily, your trusty editors narrowed down the best of what's debuting at the cinema -- or screening on your TV -- to make your weekend that much better. Take a look at our picks below! "A Good Day to Die Hard" This movie is getting lambasted by critics, and it's tough to deny their negative comments -- a movie franchise like "Die Hard" has so many memories and so much legacy attached to it that any sequel will inevitably pale in comparison to the originals. But I argue that it's worth seeing if you're a fan of John McClane and his quippy one-liners. In this latest iteration, McClane travels to Russia to rescue his allegedly "lost" son, Jack. But when he shows up, »

Are you ready to watch the moment grunge was born? At least according to Rush singer and fellow Canadian Geddy Lee, that is. This week's How I Met Your Mother introduces a whole new side of Robin: Robin Daggers. Turns out the show's resident Canadian has been hiding even more about her torrid past as a teen superstar. When Barney finds the Robin Sparkles episode of Underneath the Tunes (that's the Great White North's version of Behind the Music), the gang discovers that soon after Robin Sparkles topped the charts, she turned grunge, much to the dismay of her entire country. She publicly denounced her name at the Grey Cup (think Super Bowl for Canadians) and released this ominous video - all for the love of one Paul Shaffer. Check out the video after the jump. »

If there is one thing How I Met Your Mother has become good at in its eight years of broadcast history, it’s how to properly spread things out. “P.S. I Love You” is the fourth time Himym has ventured into the “Robin Sparkles” era of Robin’s past. Some might think this is dipping in to the well a little too often, but considering how stretched out these episodes are its becomes more acceptable. The last time we visited Robin Sparkles was back in Season 6’s “Glitter,” and thank goodness we’ve had a two-year gap in between. It gave us enough time to mostly forget what a letdown that episode was. In terms of quality, “P.S. I Love You” is more in line with Season 3’s “Sandcastles in the Sand,” which is a comparison worthy of the highest praise – though we did get a surprisingly enjoyable callback to »

[Spoiler Alert for those who have yet to see tonight's episode of How I Met Your Mother]
“I’m so happy right now!” Lily declared towards the end of the episode, and who could blame her? She – as well as viewers – got to witness the fourth (and last?) Robin Sparkles single, “P.S. I Love You,” which featured a suddenly edgy Sparkles singing about a guy she may or may not have been stalking (Rewatch the amazing clip here!) But this episode of How I Met Your Mother showed that obsession can happen to the best of us when romantic gestures can so easily be misconstrued as something either cute or scary, depending on how charmed the recipient is. »

P.S. I Love You takes the Canada-extravaganza of How I Met Your Mother to a whole new level. The show consistently makes Canada jokes and references, so I didn’t think we’d see an episode where the usual Canadian humor would be put to shame, but tonight definitely did just that.
The episode features jokes about Tim Horton’s and donuts throughout, constant references to the politeness of the residents of the great white north, and even appearances by basically every Canadian star of the 90s imaginable. I mean we had K.D. Lang, Jason Priestley, Alex Trebek, Paul Shaffer, Steven Page, Luc Robitaille, Geddy Lee, and Dave Coulier. Who more could you want?
The catalyst to the Canadian onslaught is a discussion about stalkers, and whether someone has to be a total nut to become obsessed. Ted likes to reference the Dobler/Dahmer Theory, which says that whether a »

31 years ago today, the Gods in Glitter Heaven had a drunken orgy and immediately conceived and birthed an heir to the throne ... whom they dubbed Adam Lambert. Before he can take his rightful place as ruler, he must prove himself worthy by walking amidst the mortals and guiding them toward the path to salvation ... a path paved with studded bracelets, guyliner, and sheer fabulousness.
As we continue on this journey with him, let's stop to pay tribute to some of the reasons why he's made such an indelible impression. 31 Reasons, actually ... why we love birthday boy Adam Lambert
(In no particular order)
1. "Mad World"
2. He Caused Cover Boy Controversy
Adam appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly during his Season Eight run, becoming the first (and only) Idol contestant to achieve that recognition before the season's winner was announced.
