Jane Lynch narrates pro-Obama Lgbt ad
24 May 2012 8:50 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Jane Lynch goes to Washington.
The Glee star, whose character Sue Sylvester had a failed Senate run this past season on Glee, is dipping her toes in the D.C. waters again, narrating a pro-Obama campaign ad focusing on Lgbt rights. The documentary-style commercial highlights the president’s achievements over the past three years, including ordering hospitals that receive federal funding to give same-sex couples visitation rights, ending Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and recently coming out with full support for same-sex marriage. “You’re going to need a strong advocate in the White House,” says Obama. “I am that strong advocate. »

Glee Recap: Leg Warmers and Massive Arcs of Fire
16 May 2012 8:32 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Something I learned from watching the Glee cast's appearance on Inside the Actors Studio (aside from how deeply disquieting it is to watch Matthew Morrison break-dance) is that Ryan Murphy uses his scripts to communicate with his actors — Jane Lynch claims that she's able to tell whom Murphy's mad at just by reading that week's script. One wonders, then, what message Murphy was trying to send the cast (who'll be back for next year's show-on-top-of-a show) by putting together an hour of television that constantly reiterated the importance of realizing you're not all that special and totally being okay with that. But I'm getting ahead of myself.Straight off: I love that Tina has been so underutilized that they needed to explain who she is and how long she's been around in the "previously on" montage, and I love how three years' worth of rejection are effectively encapsulated in less »

'Mad Men' cast on 'Actors Studio': 5 Things We Learned
15 May 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It’s no secret no one has any idea what’s going to happen next on Mad Men — and those “scenes from next week” aren’t going to clue you in at all. But the most notoriously tight-lipped cast couldn’t resist sharing a few personal details when Jon Hamm, January Jones, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jared Harris, and creator Matthew Weiner visited James Lipton at the famed Actors Studio (Elisabeth Moss was shooting a movie out of the country).
Below are five of the most tantalizing bits of info we learned in the hour-long broadcast.

'Mad Men' Cast, Creator On 'Inside The Actors Studio'
14 May 2012 11:35 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
James Lipton took several of the castmembers and "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner "Inside the Actors Studio" (7 p.m. Et on Bravo). It was the largest cast Lipton had ever assembled. Joining Weiner on stage were Jon Hamm, Jared Harris, Christina Hendricks, January Jones, Vincent Kartheiser, Kiernan Shipka, and John Slattery.
Shipka was only allowed to be on stage during certain discussions, just as she admitted she's only able to watch the scenes that she's a part of. The show is, after all, a little adult. That didn't stop her from stealing the show with her charm with almost every moment she was on the stage.
This was also the source of that infamous comment that Jon Hamm almost didn't get the part of Don Draper, because some executives didn't think he was quite sexy enough. As mentioned on Digital Spy, sexy is a description Hamm has never quite gotten comfortable with, »

Ben Feldman talks 'Mad Men': 'You stand in the elevator next to Jon Hamm, and he's 35 feet taller than you'
14 May 2012 11:22 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Last night’s episode of Mad Men brought to the foreground the generational culture clash between iconic mid-century superman Don Draper and Michael Ginsberg, the up-and-coming Jewish copywriter played by Ben Feldman. We caught up with Feldman today to ask a simple question: How does it feel to be trying to out-Draper Draper? “It’s imposing,” the actor laughs, “especially when you stand in the elevator next to Jon Hamm, and he’s 35 feet taller than you.”
Given creator Matthew Weiner’s reputation for secrecy, Feldman is unsurprisingly loath to talk about how Ginsberg’s conflict with Draper will play »

Hulu.com: Will Ferrell's 10 Best SNL Sketches Ever
14 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Will Ferrell's been gone from "SNL" for 10 years now. I don't know how we've kept it together since then, as Americans. He was the closest thing to this country's Kim Jong-Il: Everyone would cry in the street if he died, and sunglasses made him look like something in one of the saltwater tanks at Sea World.
Plus, he defined our moral fiber there for a few years. If there was a Will Ferrell Constitution, it would almost exclusively tell us that it's awesome to yell at helpless dogs, and that you desperately need to get off the damn shed. That was the turn of the century in a nutshell.
Well, thank god, Will Ferrell's back on Saturday hosting "SNL." We get a reminder of the good ol' days, when he could talk about the moon as a food product for five minutes and that would be considered a complete sketch. »

'Mad Men' on 'Inside the Actors Studio': Jon Hamm and January Jones open up
11 May 2012 5:16 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
On Monday (May 14), the cast of "Mad Men" -- including Jon Hamm, January Jones, Kiernan Shipka, John Slattery and Christina Hendricks -- sits down with "Inside the Actors Studio" host James Lipton to talk about their critically acclaimed show, currently in the midst of Season 5 on AMC.
Creator Matthew Weiner, who was also along for the trip, explains in the clip below why Hamm (who plays the dashing Don Draper) had to audtion six or seven times for the part: "Someone said that he wasn't sexy."
Whatevs.
Also, Jones explains the origins of her calendrical first name:
"It is from a book called 'Once Is Not Enough' by Jacqueline Susann," she says. "I think at the end of the book, not to spoil it, but, she trips on acid and gets abducted by aliens after being married and divorced to her father's best friend. It's entertaining... [my parents] just thought »

'Saturday Night Live': Will Ferrell and Jason Sudeikis clown around in new promos
9 May 2012 10:25 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Will Ferrell, who anchored the "Saturday Night Live" cast from 1995 to 2002, is returning to studio 8H on May 12 to host the late-night sketch show for the third time since his departure 10 years ago.
In the above promos, Ferrell and Jason Sudeikis concoct all sorts of shenanigans, such as a "stuck race," "fancy brooches" and the thrill of live television. We're excited to see what the show does for Ferrell - we hope they resurrect at least a couple of his classic characters.
Speaking of which, to get everyone excited about Ferrell's return, NBC has released some video clips of some of his classics - More Cowbell, the Dodge Stratus Dad and Inside the Actors Studio are below.

Jon Hamm is a '70s sitcom fan, impromptu word artist -- Video
8 May 2012 9:10 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
We already know what Jon Hamm doesn’t like (“idiot” Kardashians and humorless Donald Trump, to name a few), but now we can add another line item to the list of things he does dig: ’70s sitcoms. In advance of IFC’s new show Comedy Bang! Bang!, the Mad Men star sidled up to Reggie Watts — the new millennial answer to the stream-of-consciousness music-as-comedy stylings of old-school Zach Galifianakis — to riff on the classic sitcom Taxi. I’m pretty sure the phrase “Hilary abounds at the taxi garage” is being worked into a Hollywood pitch at this very moment. Check »

Phoebe Robinson: Not One of Lena Dunham's 'Girls'
19 April 2012 8:24 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Fuck. This. Show.
That's not a particularly eloquent sentence; however, it's how I felt after watching the pilot episode of HBO's Girls, Lena Dunham's first TV series. Seriously, I was so angry that I immediately turned on Dmx's "Who We Be" so I could rage dance, which was basically just me flailing around my apartment in a T-shirt, sweats, and white Hanes Her Way gym socks until I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror where I became simultaneously hypnotized and horrified by my rage dancing that I did the following:
Memo to others: don't wear Hanes Her Way gym socks when rage dancing. Or in life.
For those of you who missed the months-long promotional onslaught for Girls from Lena, Judd Apatow, HBO, & co., here's the gist: it's about a quartet of well-off (because of their parents, obv) white women in their 20s living in New York City:

Cool Clicks: The Men Who Would Be 'The Three Stooges'
11 April 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
We scour the interwebs for the coolest movie news and more so you don't have to ...
Here's something for the "Could've Been" archives (though whether it also qualifies as "Should've Been" remains to be seen). MTV Clutch reimagines the "Three Stooges" poster with the Farrelly Brothers' original dream cast of Jim Carrey, Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn.
You know, maybe we don't need to necessarily see 15 seconds of "Total Recall" a couple of days before seeing 150 seconds of it. Vulture makes the argument that it might be time to call it quits on the new trend of releasing trailers for movie trailers.
Too soon, or Not Soon Enough? BestWeekEver suggests you honor the 100th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy by purchasing a new Titanic-themed bathtub plug lovingly called "Tubtanic."

Last night's episode of Inside the Actors Studio featured the cast and creators of Glee, an emotion host and Master Interrogator James Lipton surely was feeling because his interview kept leaning toward the silly stuff. In a discussion with Matthew Morrison about attending performing arts high school in California, Lipton asked, "Were there gangs?" "Did you ever join one?" Morrison admitted he had, but not to worry, it was only the break dancing, boy-band kind! Watch Morrison prove his moves in our clip right here, and see if it looks like Ryan Murphy is plotting how to get Mr. Schuester to become a B-boy in a future episode. »

Ryan Murphy Teases 'Glee' Cast's Fate Post-Graduation On 'Actors Studio'
10 April 2012 3:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
James Lipton brought in five members of the cast of "Glee" and co-creator Ryan Murphy to a screaming crowd for a special edition of "Inside the Actors Studio" (Mon., 8 p.m. Et on Bravo). There, he journeyed through the careers of Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele and Chris Colfer until their paths met with Murphy and a global phenomenon was born.
They were also subjected to Lipton's infamous series of questions, where it was revealed that the f-word was the most popular curse word among them, while Morrison's alternate career path of gynecologist was not going to be echoed by Jane Lynch. As for next season, which was recently confirmed by the network, Murphy said, "just because they graduate doesn’t mean they won’t be on ‘Glee.’"
As for their characters, Michele admitted that Rachel is a lot like she was -- only about ten years later in life. »
