Ryan Seacrest is hosting the second edition of the Emmy Award-winning Idol Gives Back special on Wednesday, April 9, at 7:30pm/ET on Fox. Some new faces have been added to the roster of performers and personalities scheduled to appear, including presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain. It will be very interesting to see who will truly be "giving back," and who will be stumping for votes. Rounding out the ever-expanding list of political figures and celebs are British prime minister Gordon Brown, Posh and Becks (Victoria and David Beckham), the Jonas Brothers (can you hear the screaming teenagers now?), Felicity Huffman, Kylie Minogue, Kyra Sedgwick, Minnie Driver, Sarah "Im F--king Matt Damon" Silverman, and many more.Are you planning to watch Idol Gives Back, or maybe even donating to the cause?

Pregnant Minnie Driver Expects Great Things from The Riches | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 3/17/2008
All eyes were on mom-to-be Minnie Driver at the Season 2 premiere of the FX drama The Riches, held Sunday night at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Dressed in a form-fitting navy Calvin Klein dress that showed off her small baby bump, Driver was all smiles as she talked baby with TV Guide. The actress told us that she has no plans to find out the sex of the child until she gives birth, and that she's dealing with both exhaustion and morning sickness — but still couldn't be happier. "I'm sick as a dog, absolutely horrific, but so happy and... so into it. I don't care about getting fat, I love it. It's fun," she said. Driver's costars had nothing but good wishes for the actress, and all wholeheartedly agreed that she would make a terrific mother. Aidan Mitchell, who plays son Sam on the show, said of Driver, "She's going to be an amazing mom." Margo Martindale, who plays Nina, told us, "She'll be a perfect mother to a girl. Or to a boy. She's just such a girly girl,... read more
SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights — in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower love on my favorite new show of 2007, AMC's Mad Men, and its terrific star, Jon Hamm (who has just joined the cast of the remake of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, which sounds appropriately robotic). So while not all may be forgiven, the wound stings a little less.My favorite part of the SAG Awards is the ensemble-cast category. Because let's face it, most great TV shows rely on cast chemistry. Even The Closer, which on face value looks like a... read more
New Blood at the Globes | Roush Dispatch | 12/13/2007
If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James Gandolfini? (And if the Globes is going to shower love on Big Love, how could the women who play Bill's wives go unheralded, especially Ginnifer Goodwin?) Californication over Weeds?But let's look at the bright side. The Hollywood Foreign Press clearly spent some time checking out the TV landscape during last summer's remarkable season of cable breakthroughs. My own pick for No. 1 show of the year, AMC's Mad Men, is nominated for best drama, along with its dashing leading man, Jon Hamm. FX's... read more
Catching Up with the Good (Closer) and the Bad (TMZ) | Roush Dispatch | 9/11/2007
This week’s crackling finale of TNT's The Closer was a splendid reminder of why Kyra Sedgwick is so deserving of the best-actress Emmy this year (yes, she'll be getting it for last season, but the character was just as strong a year ago). Being on basic cable, it's possible she'll once again by upstaged in what is one of the more crowded categories — her five other nominees include Sally Field (my second pick), Minnie Driver and past winners (in order of preference) Edie Falco, Mariska Hargitay and Patricia Arquette. But if for whatever reason she fails to score, this season's finale once again puts her at the top of my list for next year's competition.It was a great two-parter, with Brenda really on the ropes both professionally and personally. First, her case is in tatters after she fails to get a confession from her suspect. Then, midway through the high-profile trial, the defendant’s alibi turns up out of nowhere with rock-solid video evidence that he... read more
