With the uneven Just Desserts spin-off just a falling soufflé of a memory, the cooking competition got back on the front burner last night with its much-hyped All-Stars edition. Jammed with vets from seasons past, most awesome and only a few awful (Stephen from season 1, you remain a supercilious hobbit), it's clear that a real food fight is on...and on fire.
Well, he's no son of anarchy, that's for sure. Last night, while SAMCRO was tearing it up in their season finale over on FX, Bob Saget revved up ...
Finally! After spending the last three months slow-burning the "Teddy likes boys" storyline, we finally got the goods on 90210. And it was kind of hot, right? And, better yet, the big moment wasn't hyped to death, so we also got a bit of a surprise when Teddy grabbed Ian — the classmate he hooked-up with (off-screen) during a blackout at the start of the season — and planted a big ol' sloppy on the kid while they were cleaning up after a West Bev luau. How's that for putting the "man" in manual labor?The build-up, of course, has been the fun of Season 3 (God knows anything with Ivy isn't). Proving to be more than a human Ken doll...
Can someone please get Niecy Nash a sitcom? Seriously, the woman is being wasted. Not that it wasn't swell to have her voicing Donna's kid-ditching sister Janet on The Cleveland Show last night, but that was just a guest spot and the real-life Nash is too fabulously animated to be relegated to cartoonery. She needs to be front and center, in the flesh and on TV on a weekly basis. And preferably in something better than Do Not Disturb. One would think after her run on Dancing with the Stars and Reno 911! that someone would have found Miss Niecy a proper vehicle by now. She's paid her dues and proven to be a fan favorite, so why ...
OK, we've made no secret of our admiration for Glee's bullying story line and have nothing but love for Chris Colfer. It's an important topic and the kid is like seven layers of fabulous, playing the fear and humiliation of a high-school abuse victim. But between his dad's heart attack and the bullying stuff, it's starting to feel like he's the only student at McKinley worthy of a real story arc this season. Again, the topic is being handled wonderfully, from the teacher-parent meetings, to the way the guys stepped up to defend him against closet-case Karofsky, to Sue's vow to watch his back. It's just that ...
Well here's something to be grateful about this week: A How I Met Your Mother worth spending the holiday with. And we have Lost's unluckiest castaway to thank for it. Last night, Jorge Garcia dropped by HIMYM for a Thanksgiving episode packed with enough fun to make up for the past few weeks of turkeys.
She may have been run out of Sesame Street, but Katy Perry and her breasts still got a chance to scandalize our youth with a performance at last night's America Music Awards. Instead, she inspired the covering of ears instead of eyes.Photos: See who wore what on the AMA red carpetLed by a cherubic (read: creepy) children's choir, the woman so endowed and underdressed she was forbidden to play with Elmo launched into her new single "Firework" and honestly ...
OK, how much do we love Broyles?Whether he's the tight t-shirted one on the other side, or our homeland version, Lance Reddick's federal agant is just awesome. So God bless the Fringe writers for realizing that and giving us a real "pot Broyler" (to borrow the term from a Twitter pal) last night.In another cool trip to the alt-verse, we got more backstory on their Broyles after the sicko who stole his son a few years back struck again...
While the crew readied a fake cadaver downstairs, Fringe stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble gathered in the master bedroom of a swanky Vancouver home where they were shooting part of their December 9 winter finale to discuss doppelgangers, romance and Olivia's long-awaited homecoming...
Alan Ritchson returns to Smallville this week as Arthur "A.C." Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman, with new wifey Mera in tow, and from the sounds of it, the King of Atlantis is about to make some major waves for Clark. Actually, based on our chat with executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders, fans are in for a flood of awesome in the upcoming weeks.
By Damian Holbrook Burn, baby, burn! Last night, Survivor's Libertad tribe faced something worse than NaOnka's attitude after their camp burnt down while they were off on a reward challenge. Their crates. Their machetes. Their morale. All gone. And all thanks to Fabio's brilliant suggestion to ...
No. This is not right at all. Bristol Palin beats Brandy? Nope. Not buying it.Yet that is exactly what Dancing With the Stars tried to sell us last night by revealing that the teen mom who doesn't think anyone else should have premarital sex somehow ranked higher than the R&B singer who scored a perfect 30 the night before. Not since Wretchin' Gretchen beat Mondo Fabuloso on Project Runway has the natural order been so out of whack....
Wow, is Juliet the Upper East Side's answer to The O.C.'s Oliver?Not since the self-punching psychopath who obsessed over Marisa and heralded the beginning of the end for Fox's sudser has their been such vehemence surrounding an interloper among the pretty-young-things set. Fittingly, both Oliver and Juliet — played deliciously by Katie Cassidy, who so needs to headline the upcoming Charlie's Angels TV reboot — are the creations of showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Only this time, unlike Oliver, who just sucked, Juliet has become the character we both bitch about and kind of crush on.And we're not the only ones feeling the love-hate...
Who says you can't go home again? Now that Fringe's Olivia knows she's actually a captive in Walternate's wild world, it's time for our heroine to head back to the universe she belongs in."Olivia just needs to find someone she can trust," says Anna Torv, whose Agent Dunham has spent the bulk of Season 3 on the other side — being brainwashed and experimented on by Walternate — while her doppelgänger (aka Bolivia) was over here, working as a secret agent within Fringe Division by day and rocking an unsuspecting Peter's world by night. Thankfully, her time in the alt-verse has allowed Olivia to line up a few allies to aid in her escape...
If your kids start asking about shape-shifters and alternate universes, don't be too scared. They may just be soaking in the Science of Fringe (fox.com/fringe/fringe-science), a joint effort between Fox and the nonprofit Science Olympiad group (recently honored by President Obama) to develop lesson ...
For a show that's all about sweets, the Top Chef: Just Desserts final four sure were bitter last night.By the time they reached the elimination challenge — to create an anniversary cake for the famed, fabulously adorable cake maker Sylvia Weinstock and hubby Ben — the remaining pastry cheftestants had trashed each other so much, it was hard to tell who was behaving the most hatefully. Overdramatic urchin Zac whined to the judges about uber-grumpy Morgan, who proved ...
How fitting that a cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" was the best number in a Glee that addressed the teenage nightmare of bullying. Gay bullying, to be specific: A topic that's been getting tons of attention lately due to a rash of abuse-related suicides among gay youths. Tragic. Needless. And sadly, an option considered by way too many kids who feel they have nowhere to turn, nor anyone in their corner. Sweetly, if a tad conveniently, the episode granted Kurt both of those things after the pressure of being regularly taunted by ...
Well this definitely doesn't bite. Last night, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon entered the vampire fray with the first installment of "Suckers," a lavishly produced ongoing series that joins the Glee spoof "6-Bee" and the Lost-ish "Late" as yet another of Fallon's pre-taped triumphs."It's kind of like if Twilight and True Blood were crossed with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Rocky Horror, and then met ...
The Project Runway-ish competition is back tonight at 10/9c on Bravo with a Survivor-like alteration (two teams of six instead of 12 lone designers). We needled The Fashion Show hosts Iman and Isaac Mizrahi for the skinny. ...
What is wrong with you people who aren't watching this show? Every week, the ratings for Community are lower than a C-student's GPA, yet the comedy itself is totally A+. Just take last night's Mean Girls-inspired outing.Not only did uber-hyped guest star Hilary Duff not suck (extra credit) as the alpha-bitch tormenting Annie, Britta and Shirley, the writers were also smart enough to throw the always awesome Abed into the gag as the ladies' RoboCop of retaliatory retorts...
To those of you who dropped the freshman drama Hellcats for being nothing but an experiment in cheerleaders-gone-wild, it's time to re-enroll. Because this thing is some serious fun. Last night, the Lancer pep goddesses turned it out for an '80s-themed Spirit Party to celebrate the team's 25th anniversary, complete with costumes, kitsch and — siss-boom-yeah! — a killer cover of Squeeze's "Tempted" by series regular Sharon Leal.
Love her or hate her (and we know there's a healthy split out there), Kathy Griffin gives good feud. Last night, the red menace unleashed what felt like her 350th Bravo comedy special, Whores on Crutches, which covered her tried-and-trues (Paris Hilton, Bristol Palin, Tiger Woods), a few newbies (I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant), and thank you, Lord, her now-notorious face-off with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View back in June. "I'm just gonna put ...
