In an unprecedented move for The Late Show, U2, which hasn't appeared on Letterman's show since October 2001, will perform as the musical guest each night from ...

The daytime talk divas are really going all out this week, eh? On yesterday's Ellen, which was filmed in Chicago, former Idol contestants Michael Johns and Carly Smithson gave an exclusive performance, singing a duet version of the U2 classic "One." This was much more fun than the 'repeat performances' we get during their press tour, and it's safe to say Michael Johns, in particular, would have made Bono proud with this one. — Gina DiNunno

Bono by John Stanton/WireImage.com
We’ve decided that when Bono puts his mind to something, good things happen. The result this time? U23D. The Irish rock stars have taken their God-like status to the next level by bringing their music not just to film, but to three dimensional film (complete with the glasses). So what are they calling this at their Sundance premiere? The first “live-action 3D concert documentary.” Quite frankly, giving everybody a “front row seat” is their best idea yet considering tickets tend to sell out in 3.2 minutes (not that we’re bitter we got shut out of their last tour or anything). Watch it now! | More online videosYour take: Any U2 fans/haters care to weigh in on this film release? Good, bad, indifferent?

So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley
Say what you will about So You Think You Can Dance's unwieldy title. Fact is, the Fox reality competition was a ratings success during its premiere incarnation, and as such is back for an encore starting tonight at 8 pm/ET. (The contest then continues Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9.) What's new and exciting for Season 2? For one, the dance-off is now hosted by British TV personality Cat Deeley, whom TVGuide.com recently gave a ring.
TVGuide.com: Is it now an official requirement that every American reality program feature at least one British accent?
Cat Deeley: [Laughs] Somebody has to give it all a bit of authority, Matt! No, I don't think its absolutely required, bu

Sheriff Lamb is so baaa-ad to our Veronica.
As the mystery of the bus crash deepens on UPN's Veronica Mars (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET), how and when will viewers learn more about the students who died?

U2's Bono
Dismantling an atomic bomb apparently requires a lot of gold-plated gramophones. U2 rocked Wednesday night's Grammy Awards, besting the rest with five wins (including album of the year), while Mariah Carey, snubbed in such major contests as best record, song and album, was only able to parlay her pack-leading eight nods into three trophies. Among those who miffed Mimi: Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" garnered honors for female pop vocalist, while Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was named record of the year. The list of winners can be found, no, not in Sly Stone's Mohawk, but here.

48th Annual Grammy AwardsAfter proudly watching my pals Kimberly Caldwell and Rosanna Tavarez on TV Guide Channel's Countdown to the Grammys, followed, of course, by Joan and Melissa Rivers on our Grammy red-carpet show, I made sure my roommate's VCR was taping Idol and my own VCR was set for Lost. All systems go! Time for the Grammys.8:00 pm The animated group Gorillaz open with their hit "Feel Good Inc.," and since I love the song, guess what? It makes me feel good. But I totally picture my mother in Chicago being very confused.8:03 The goddess Madonna enters and I'm loving every minute of it. Can I please look that fabulous when I'm 47? After a brief lip-synched intro, she sings the rest of "Hung Up" live, and her hair looks like Lydia Cornell circa Too Close for Comfort.8:13 Kelly Clarkson s

Hey, at least it's not as bad as Uma-Oprah. Anyway, Bono has admitted to the Associated Press that he worries his full slate of charitable acts could force him out of U2. "The first job of a rock-and-roll band is not to be dull," he noted, working overtime to provoke me to break my New Year's resolution not to take potshots at egomaniacs who anoint themselves saints. Aw, poop. I almost broke my record.
