Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Grammy Legend Award winner Liza Minnelli finally joins Robert Osborne's illustrious guest list on Saturday's episode of Private Screenings (10/9c, TCM). I watched her film the chat in the New York's West Village back in June, looking remarkably limber just a few months after knee replacement surgery. She was about to head out on tour to support her album Confessions, released this past September. Earlier this week, fresh from a San Francisco concert, the diva talked to me about her new album and her conversation with Osborne about growing up with legendary parents Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli and some of their equally famous friends. (AMC is also airing 10 of her parents' films — including An American in Paris and Gigi — plus Liza's Cabaret on Saturday and Tuesday...

The Good Guys - Colin Hanks, Bradley Whitford
The Good Guys (Friday, 9/8c, Fox)
Not a great week for quirky crime-fighters. First FX gives the wonderful Terriers the boot, and now we come to the end of the line for Fox's genial but low-rated buddy-cop spoof. We will miss Bradley Whitford as gone-to-seed Dallas detective Don Stack, especially his bushy 'stache. The final episode brings back Gary Cole as Stark's legendary former partner, Frank Savage, and we also meet the ex-partner of Stark's sidekick Jack Bailey (Colin Hanks). Jack's former partner, played by American Pie's Chris Klein, has done well, now the assistant chief of the department, called in when a Mafia informant is murdered and a dirty cop is suspected. Surely not...

Lie To Me (Monday, 8/7c, Fox)
See how the partnership between Lightman and Foster began, as the car-bomb killing of a former Pentagon colleague forces the duo to relive their past, including critical therapy sessions. (Shades of Bones, Booth and Sweets?)...

The trailer for Sex and the City 2 finds Carrie asking, "What happens after you say I do?" Apparently for her the answer includes another wedding, a trip to Abu Dhabi with Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, and a reunion with her former fiancé, fan favorite Aidan.
You also get to see Carrie in a tux (she dresses up for Stanford's same-sex nuptials), and there's also somehow room for Miley Cyrus, Penelope Cruz and...

Liza Minnell by Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com
During a Thursday Christmas concert in Stockholm, Judy Garland's daughter collapsed, falling clear off the stage. If not for the fast-acting production manager who caught her, the 61-year-old entertainment legend would surely have sustained serious injuries in addition to whatever was already ailing her. She's now back in the States, but her condition remains a mystery.... Grammy winner Rosanne Cash has undergone successful brain surgery, her record label reports.... Discworld author Terry Pratchett has revealed on his illustrator's website that he has a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's. — Ben Katner

Janet by Michael Yarish/The CW
by Ben KatnerYou'd think that giving a mock bikini wax to Tyra Banks would buy a girl some love from the head judge on America's Next Top Model. But Lady T showed carrot-top-turned-Liza Minnelli look-alike Janet Mills no mercy last week, kicking the 22-year-old aesthetician to the curb with some of the weakest words of encouragement we've yet to hear. How's Janet handling being, er, ripped from the lineup? And scarier still, how does she imagine her slovenly housemates faring without her around to play den mother? To find out, in anticipation of tonight's episode (8 pm/ET on the CW), we put in a call to the Georgia peach.TVGuide.com: Sorry to be speaking to you under these circumstances.Janet Mills: Did you love me or what? You didn't even watch!...read more

"The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event" (wink, wink) — which of course means: "This episode is based on a true story and features fictionalized versions of real people — but, you know, we don’t want to get sued over it or anything." Gotta love those patented Law & Order disclaimers.Anyway, as we all know, tonight’s Criminal Intent dealt with John Mark Karr’s bogus confession last August to the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. So it was a wise move to acknowledge the source material in the first scene with our JMK stand-in, Simon Fife (who will henceforth be referred to as Sesame Logs), being taken into custody. It definitely felt weird for Goren and Eames to make their arrest at the beginning of the show, but for me, it allayed some of the fears that this would be a been-there, done-that episode because of the case's media overexposure.And man was Sesame Logs creepy – he totally nailed the JMK vibe. And in th...
