Vanilla Ice: Rapper, reality show star and ... YouTube star? Maybe someday soon!

The singer, born Rob Van Winkle, performed with some of YouTube's biggest musical stars at the Hollywood Palladium Sunday night for the 3rd Annual Streamy Awards, which celebrates the best of online programming. The collaboration was an anxious affair though because he had only met crooner Chester See, musician Mike Tompkins and Epic Rap Battles of History's Nice Peter the night before. "We had no game plan but put everything together last night. It was so sloppy, I can't even tell you," Van Winkle told TVGuide.com.... read more

Melinda Clarke

Nikita's Amanda is dusting off her torture skills.

On Friday's episode (9/8c, The CW), when Amanda (Melinda Clarke) returns to bust Owen (Devon Sawa) out of a Russian prison, fans will learn more about their shared past.

"The torture machine that Amanda tried on Birkhoff last year — that was not the first time she's used it. So, Amanda has definitely been an integral part in who Owen is today."

Maggie Q and Shane West

Nikita's Percy may be dead, but his legacy lives on in The Dirty Thirty.

On the Season 3 premiere (Friday at 9/8c, The CW), Nikita & Co. discover that taking over Division means having to clean house after the death of its leader Percy (Xander Berkeley) last season. "When the recall order was sent out, 'Percy is dead. Come back in from wherever you are in the world,' some agents complied. Thirty of those people didn't," Nikita creator Craig Silverstein told reporters at Comic-Con. "They cut their trackers out and disabled them. They're out for themselves, money, for whatever crazy ideology and personal goals they have."

Nikita's Melinda Clarke: Control of Division Is Up for Grabs!

Melinda Clarke

Amanda may be the current head of Division, but it appears that Percy might be calling the shots... from his prison no less.

"I think Amanda is a master manipulator, but I think Percy's ego is even bigger," Nikita's Melinda Clarke tells TVGuide.com. "I think Amanda is a little more realistic but found herself getting caught up in the power and grandeur of all of Division. She's ultimately the same creature as Percy, and gets caught up into wanting more and more power. It goes beyond just money. For the future of Division, it'll be interesting to see who ends up in power. Clearly it could be up for grabs."

Nikita's Lyndsy Fonseca on Alex's Predicament and Giving Fans "Olex"

Lyndsy Fonseca, Nikita

In Season 2 of Nikita, Alex is working alongside Division — but that doesn't mean that she and Nikita will remain adversaries.

Even if Nikita did break her arm and shoot her in the leg. Bygones! "I think there was a lot of worry this season about 'Oh my God, Alex is turning evil, Alex is on the bad side,' and it's really not that at all," Lyndsy Fonseca tells TVGuide.com. "It's kind of the unfortunate situation they're in right now. There's still a lot of love, there's still a lot of hate. There are moments in the next few episodes where Nikita tries to help Alex, and there's moments where Alex warns Nikita about things."

  • The Daily Show With Jon Stewart "Jon Stewart does an incredible job of interviewing guests while allowing them their voice. There's a level of incisiveness and intelligence that he brings to the dialogue that I think is incredible."
  • Real Time with Bill Maher "He also brings intelligence to the dialogue, but he sometimes goes to extremes. The guests he has on and the way that in which they represent different sides of the spectrum is really admirable and super-smart. I find it inspiring and a great, entertaining way to get your news."
  • Colbert Report "Pure guilty pleasure and entertainment value."
  • Nikita "I like the way the show incorporates geopolitical global news stories and the way in which the writers, some of them have journalistic backgrounds, are incorporating stories that are going on in the world into the plot. I track it. It's part of the job to see where it's going and where it's going to go."
