Best In Show: Review

Writer-director Christopher Guest proves once again just how good he is at ferreting out offbeat subjects (fading metal morons in the classic This Is Spinal Tap, small-town theater productions in Waiting for Guffman) and exploiting their satirical possibilities. This time out, Guest uses the mockumentary form to sniff around the insular world of professional dog show competitions, and the result is a winner. Read the complete review for Best In Show

Westminster Dog Show Host Gives Us Some "Hound" Bites | Today's News: Our Take | 2/13/2007
David Frei brings his encyclopedic knowledge of everything dog to his 18th year as cohost of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which concludes its 131st competition tonight (at 8 pm/ET, on USA Network) at New York's Madison Square Garden. TV Guide: How can you keep doing this? Don't all the dogs look alike after a while?David Frei: The dogs are different every year. The breeds are the same, but there are different dogs and different levels of accomplishment in the show-dog world, so it stays very exciting from that standpoint.

For Your Consideration: Christopher Guest's Latest Has Crazy Buzz | Today's News: Our Take | 11/17/2006
If you ever happen to meet Christopher Guest, the multitalented auteur behind a string of wince-inducing, documentary-style satires, there is one thing you must not do: Call his films mockumentaries. Although the actor/author/director/composer helped pioneer the genre — first as a writer and performer (the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap), and later as a director, too, (beginning with 1996's Waiting for Guffman) — Guest detests the word. "Don't get caught saying mockumentary to Chris," warns Catherine O'Hara, who has starred in four of his films, including his newest read more
Season-Finale Scoop from Kyle XY's Dad! | Today's News: Our Take | 8/28/2006
For months fans have wondered, "Who is Kyle XY? What is he?" In the end, might this seemingly supernatural being with the rather super abilities be just a long-missing milk-carton kid named Noah Peterson? That is precisely what's proposed in the opening minutes of the ABC Family series' first season finale, airing tonight at 8 pm/ET. But it can't be that simple, right? Right?! TVGuide.com spoke with Kyle's "dad," Bruce Thomas, about the switch in parental units ahead. TVGuide.com: I just watched the season finale where Kyle's real parents show up, so I guess we're all done here, eh? The series is over?Bruce Thomas: [Laughs] Yeah, no more need for the Trager family! We're out of the picture! I actually thought about that this m read more
Jane Lynch Enters the Dating Game | Today's News: Our Take | 6/5/2006
Who put the overly amorous boss from The 40 Year Old Virgin in charge of a dating service?! Part of the credit goes to Will & Grace's Eric McCormack, one of the executive producers of the Lifetime series Lovespring International (premiering tonight at 11 pm/ET). In this improv comedy, Jane Lynch plays Victoria, the head of an "elite Beverly Hills" dating service... based out of Tarzana, California... whose staffers are as pathetic as its pretend pedigree. At the read more
Vegas Beauty: Our Fans Will Follow Us | Today's News: Our Take | 3/3/2006
While all those media-maven types theorize about the true meaning of Las Vegas' time-slot change — NBC's Monday mainstay is moving to Fridays at 9, starting tonight, March 3 — Vanessa Marcil won't be bothered. As the Montecito's hostess with the oh-so-mostess, she is relishing her dream job, a role she values a distant second behind that of mother to son Kassius, who turns 4 this month. In this candid Q&A with TVGuide.com, the brunette beauty cheers "Viva Las Vegas" — and reveals at least two celebrity crushes. TVGuide.com: When I called you to set this up, it sounded a bit festive in the background. Were you at a strip club with your Vegas pals, or wer read more
