The Three Stooges
Hey, knuckleheads, want to see Snooki poked in the eyes?
She appears in the first trailer for Peter and Bobby Farrelly's upcoming feature, The Three Stooges. The long-gestating movie, starring Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos, is scheduled for release in April and strangely places them in contemporary times as real people, not characters.

Becki Newton, Ugly Betty
Ugly Betty's scene-stealing bad girl Becki Newton talks to TV Guide about shaking her booty, stalking Tim Gunn and finding love. (ABC's Ugly Betty airs Thursdays at 8 pm/ET.)
TV Guide: How do you get in touch with your inner vixen to play Amanda? Becki Newton: I think of the girls I used to meet at New York City auditions. Girls have a great way of sizing each other up with a look that can debilitate everyone. I was usually the victim of that. I've always been more the Betty than the Amanda. But after years of studying those girls, I've learned how to channel it.
TV Guide: You felt like Betty? Newton: Always. I think everyone does. The Amandas of the world are covering up a lot of pain by trying to be the one who makes other

Becki Newton, Ugly Betty
Becki Newton gives mean girls a good name. As Amanda, the cruel but couture-blessed receptionist on ABC's Ugly Betty (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET), Newton has turned insults into an art form and taken a spot beside America Ferrera as the freshman hit's other breakout-star-to-be. Since she's so good at answering the phones, TV Guide decided to ring her up.
TV Guide: Amanda's definitely not above stealing the show, huh? Becki Newton: Honestly, I thought that, on a weekly basis, I'd be at the round desk being mean to Betty whenever she walked in. The fact that I get to go into different rooms and harass other people? It's amazing.
TV Guide: On the Jan. 4 episode, the staff raids Christina's closet for free clothes. Have any o

Chris Diamantopoulos took some razzing for his portrayal of Robin Williams in NBC's Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy (an encore airs tonight at 8 pm/ET). The film got Jeered by TV Guide for "reducing Robin Williams to a perky yet sad clown." As for Williams himself, he claims he didn't even bother to watch. "It's weird," the comic cracks. "If they're going to make a bad movie about your life, then [you should] wait for the Cartoon Network [version]."
Of course, the film's leading man denies that his portrayal is just a gratuitous rehash of Williams' alleged diva behavior and drug problems during the
classic sitcom's run. "I don't think the movie's exploitative," Diamantopoulos tells TVGuide.com. "By nature, a biopic — whether the person's alive or dead — is [for] making money. Even
Ray , to some degree, is exploitative.

In the April 10 issue of TV Guide, NBC's Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy — airing tonight at 9 pm/ET — gets Jeered for "reducing Robin Williams to a perky yet sad clown." Ouch! Natch, the film's leading man denies his portrayal is just a gratuitous rehash of Williams' alleged setside diva behavior and drug problems.
"I don't think the movie's exploitative," Chris Diamantopoulos tells TVGuide.com. "By nature, a biopic — whether the person's alive or dead — is [for] making money. Even Ray, to some degree, is exploitative.
"A lot of people ask how I think Robin Williams feels [about this film]," adds the 29-year-old thesp, who's guest-starred on everything from American Dreams to Nip/Tuck. "How would you feel? A movie's being made about you
