Omg TV Moments: Bates Motel's Shocking Finale Death, Hawaii Five-0's Emotional Exit and More!
6 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments from Monday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show, and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next post!Bates Motel: Oh. My. Bates! Norman (Freddie Highmore) killed again in the A&E breakout hit's season finale. His victim? Miss Watson, the teacher who drove him home from the school dance, after he had one of his visions of his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga). But that wasn't the only major shocker to go down in the hour: We learned that Norma was molested by her brother when she was younger, and Romero (Nestor Carbonell) killed Jake Abernathy.

'The Big C' series finale: 'Go get 2 forks' ... and some tissues, please
7 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"The Big C" brought Cathy Jamison's journey (not "battle") with cancer to a close Monday night (May 20) with the fourth hour of "Hereafter," the shortened Season 4 that wrapped everything up.
The course of "Hereafter" obviously did not run smooth for Cathy, but it was such a beautiful look at someone dealing with the last year of her life. In the final chapter, Cathy came home, since insurance would not pay for her to stay in hospice any longer, and she struggled with wanting to end things on her own terms.
We're glad the show didn't go that way. It's not that assisted suicide would have been an outrage, but it didn't feel right for Cathy and Sean. Plus, if she'd gone too early she wouldn't have had that day with her father and Adam's graduation.
Yes, both those things were giant tearjerkers, particularly Adam working his butt off to graduate »

'The Big C' Postmortem: Cathy Was 'Lucky and Unlucky at the Same Time'
8 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from the series finale of Showtime's The Big C.] It's over for Cathy Jamison. After four seasons, Showtime's cancer dramedy The Big C ended its run Monday with its fourth and final episode in Hereafter. Cathy's (Emmy nominee Laura Linney) journey progressed from celebrating life once she was diagnosed with cancer, to anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance, when she made the life-altering decision to quit chemotherapy. This year, executive producers Darlene Hunt and Jenny Bicks used four hourlong episodes to tell what they said were four slices of Cathy's journey to tell --

‘The Big C’ Finale Airs On Showtime Tonight
11 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Ray Richmond contributes to Deadline’s TV coverage. Showtime and the producers of The Big C end Cathy Jamison’s personal cancer saga in hospice care tonight with its fourth and Hereafter season finale. Executive producer and showrunner Jenny Bicks naturally declined to divulge whether Cathy (Laura Linney) dies tonight, though she and fellow exec producer Darlene Hunt co-wrote. The mini-series’ four last episodes span a year in the life of the lead character, each separated by roughly three months. The finale follows Angelina Jolie’s shocking May 14 announcement that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy, which spurred a slew of press calls to Showtime and the Big C team. Bicks, herself an early-stage breast cancer survivor, told Deadline. “It has really drawn attention to us in a way we couldn’t have anticipated,” she said. “I hope we’ve done something to help more people recognize that cancer »

Laura Linney on the Poignant Value of 'The Big C'
19 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
After four seasons, Laura Linney bids farewell to Cathy Jamison, her alter ego for 40 episodes on Showtime's The Big C, which over the course of its run put the spotlight on the courageous struggles of those who have faced cancer and the loved ones sharing in the journey. During the series, Cathy has endured ups (remission) and downs (her tumors returned and were growing) in addition to meeting a slew of people who shared in her emotional and physical journey (Phyllis Somerville's Marlene and Hugh Dancy's Lee, among others). But it's been the interaction with fans, especially those from

Dana Ivey, Not Maggie Smith
8 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
From originating the titular role in the stage version of "Driving Miss Daisy" to playing a key part in "The Addams Family" films, there's quite a lot of variety on Dana Ivey's resume.
The 71-year-old Georgia native has had more than 30 film roles and appeared in close to two dozen TV shows, which makes her a perfect subject for "Isn't That ... ?," a new HuffPost feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, but don't know much else about.
The five-time Tony-nominated Ivey will appear in one of the final episodes of "The Big C" as a fellow cancer patient of Cathy's (Laura Linney). "I was thrilled to be asked to be on it," Ivey said in a phone interview with HuffPost. "It's such a good show. I've been watching it since the beginning and DVRing it and watching every episode. I just love it. I »

'Borgias' canceled? Season 4 may morph into two hour finale special
7 May 2013 6:50 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Showtime's soapy historical drama "The Borgias" could be headed for a premature end after three seasons.
Deadline is reporting that Showtime is currently leaning toward scrapping a planned Season 4 of the show in favor of a two hour wrap-up movie instead. While four full seasons would match the run of "Borgias" unofficial predecessor "The Tudors," Showtime recently transformed the fourth and final season of "The Big C" into a limited series of four one hour episodes.
Series creator Neil Jordan indicated "Borgias" could be headed for a similar fate earlier this year in an interview with U.K.'s Broadcast.
"['Borgias' has] gone on for three years and there's only four years in it," Jordan said. "At the moment, we're discussing it with Showtime. I would like to finish it with a two-hour movie. Another 10 episodes is kind of exhausting. I've mapped out a movie, which, if they agree, will shoot in June with the same cast, »

Happy Gabby Day
6 May 2013 1:03 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Ja from Mnpp here, wishing a very happy birthday to Gabourey Sidibe, who's turning 30 years old today. In the four years since she popped on the scene, seemingly out of nowhere, in Lee Daniels' film Precious, Sidibe's proven that she's nothing like the sullen abused girl that brought her stardom - every awards show and every red carpet that year didn't come alive until she showed up, a star right out of the box. I don't watch The Big C so I can't speak to what she's done there but I was elated when she got cast in the upcoming third season of American Horror Story - I can't wait to see what Ryan Murphy does with her. What do you hope the future holds for Gabby? »

10 Spoilers: 'Suits' Season 3 scoop, 'Supernatural' delves into Naomi, and 'Awkward' stages an election
6 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Since Mondays are just the worst, we here at Zap2it have decided to give your week a much-needed wake-up call with 10 TV teasers -- just to remind you that when the work day is over, your DVR waits to welcome you home.
This week, our Monday Kickstart includes scoop on a "Suits" flashback episode, "Supernatural's" creepy angel boss-lady, and an "Awkward" couple going head-to-head in a school election.
"Suits": It's flashback time! The sixth episode of Season 3 will send both Mike and Harvey back in time 10 years, and we'll see some of their most dearly departed. We'll meet Harvey's father, who has played a pivotal role in his life, when he and Harvey talk about the law -- and Harvey's mother, in a candid moment -- while hanging out at the batting cages. Around that time, Mike was still eating peanut butter and jelly at his Grammy's »

Gabourey Sidibe: I'm Having A Crazy Little Career
6 May 2013 8:37 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
"I could have easily never worked again after Precious," Gabourey Sidibe tells me over breakfast in Los Angeles. "I could be back at my receptionist job and no one would be surprised, but I'm having a very crazy little career that no one thought would happen. Although that was never the plan. "
It's not clear whose plan Sidibe is referring to (hers, God's, Hollywood's), but it's plain to see nothing in the NY native's career has happened by accident. Although, as she's the first to admit, no one on her team is working off a calculated, step-by-step, career plan. Thankfully the fates led her from Precious to The Big C, which ends its phenomenal four-year run with hereafter, a 4-part limited run series, featuring Sidibe as Andrea, the wayward high schooler Laura Linney's character took under her wing back in season one.

‘The Big C’ Faces Its Own Mortality
5 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
If there’s a business angle to the reinvention of the half-hour episodic comedy “The Big C” as a fourhour dramatic miniseries for its farewell season, it’s this: It’s good business to keep viewers happy.
Ratings for the show were nothing special in 2012, even by pay cable standards: roughly half a million overall for the third-season finale in June. But rather than end things unceremoniously and leave loyalists unfulfilled, Showtime and the producers of the Laura Linney starrer switched gears to bring “Big C” to an organic denouement.
Season three could have been the series’ finale, Showtime entertainment prexy David Nevins told Variety, “but we wanted to find a way to give closure to the people who had been watching. I think it’s important as a premium service that we treat the individual audience (for each show) with respect and care.”
In the case of “Big C, »

Gabourey Sidibe stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, where -- on the heels of NBA player Jason Collins' coming out announcement (the athlete was previously in an 8-year relationship with former fiancee Carolyn Moos) - she revealed she too has dated a gay man.
In fact, the hilarious actress, who stars in Showtime's "The Big C: Hereafter," says she doesn't think it's uncommon to unwittingly date a gay guy.
"Who hasn't dated a gay dude?!?" the former "Precious" star told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover with a laugh, before recounting her own experience. "He didn't tell me ...

How 'The Big C' Shaped Its Final Act
30 April 2013 9:29 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Cathy Jamison's battle with cancer has been, at turns, heart-breaking, hilarious and hard to watch. But perhaps the toughest moment came in last night's The Big C: hereafter season premiere when Cathy asked her family, and fans, to accept her decision to stop chemotherapy.
Buckets of tears would have rained regardless, but the scene in question packed an even more powerful emotional wallop given it was set at the storage locker Cathy purchased and filled with a lifetime of birthday presents for her son, Adam, in season one.
"That was a really emotional scene to film," actor Gabriel Basso, who plays Adam, told ETonline. "It was my first day back filming on season four, and it was the same storage locker from season one, so there was this cool sense of the beginning and the end at the same time."
