Wow, did not expect this one! As a longtime member of Team Jake, it was with a slack jaw and a sick feeling that I watched Jake Pavelka morph from The Bachelor's aww-shucks stud into a bitter, aggressive pile of suck during last night's "break-up special" interview with Chris Harrison...
As one of the seven strangers trapped in a teched-out ghost town, Jason Wiles is as clueless as we are about his Persons Unknown (Monday, 8/7c, NBC) character, Joe Tucker. "He's an enigma...we're starting to learn a little about him, but this guy is a mess...
So apparently, werewolves with six-packs and glittery vampires have nothing on some night-vision camera footage and a barking dog. This week, we not only got the long-awaited and much squeed-about premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, we also got the trailer for Paranormal Activity 2, which made its debut before said saga...
OK, so I've been avoiding America's Got Talent since the season started, mostly because Howie Mandel's put-on sincerity gives me the hives. But I caved and tuned in to last night's Chicago auditions and will never get that hour back. Seriously, this is a show?...
Oh, it was on last night in reality land! And by "reality," of course we mean the staged and highly orchestrated "unscripted" TV offerings of the evening, but still. That doesn't make the smackdowns any less awesome to witness, right? First up was The Bachelorette's Ali unleashing her inner angry-girl...
Is TV ready for Bret Easton Ellis? Ever since the 1985 release of his best-selling tale of L.A. youth-gone-amoral, Less Than Zero, young Hollywood — including television faves like James Van Der Beek, Ian Somerhalder and Austin Nichols — have populated the feature-film adaptations of Ellis' edgy, unsettling novels. Now, with the 25-years-in-the-waiting publication of the engrossing Zero sequel, Imperial Bedrooms, Ellis is gearing up to take on the small screen. If a certain cable network has the guts, that is...
So let's see...Multi-racial group of charming newbies? Check.A setting rife with life-and-death drama? Check.A wise-ass with a deep soul and floppy hair? Check.Thoughtful voice-over narration by willowy lead with a family history? Check.Color in the title? Check.Charm, likeability or original thought? Child, please.Seriously, shoot me now. Because after last night's debut of this Grey's Anatomy wannabe...
Now that she's hung up her tracksuits for the season, Glee's Jane Lynch makes a return visit to Party Down as cater-waiter Constance Carmell in Friday's season finale (10/9c, Starz). As Sue Sylvester herself would say, outstanding...
After weeks of soul-killing singles from half of The Real Housewives, a TV type has gotten their song on and given us a cut that belongs on our iPods instead of in our nightmares...
I'm pretty sure if we cut Jimmy Kimmel open, we'd find that he is stuffed with awesome. Because the clown prince of late night once again showed us why he rocks last night with one of the strangest, silliest and most inspired talk-show episodes TV has been blessed with since, oh, ever.
Oh, sweet mother of all that's holy. Not only has the Real Housewives of New Jersey Danielle Staub inflicted unspeakable pain on our eyes with her flatulence-and-funky-boobs sex tape, it seems she's now intent on making us wish we were deaf, too...
The med drama HawthoRNe checks back in for Season 2 tonight at 9/8c on TNT with Jada Pinkett Smith's supernurse Christina working at a new hospital. And for Michael Vartan's hotter-than-a-fever Dr. Tom Wakefield, that could mean a prescription for romance....
Mel B. isn't just a Spice Girl anymore. With hosting duties on the rump-shaking weight-loss series Dance Your Ass Off's second season (Oxygen, 10/9c), a solo album in the works and a reality show on the horizon, the Dancing With the Stars vet has more on her plate than ever...
Now that The Real Housewives of New York City's three-part reunion smackdown is done, we'd like to take this time to reflect on the lessons learned — for they were many. As for how many are actually useful, well, good luck with that...
Oh my god, how fun is this show?! You could even say it's Fabulous! Chronicling the efforts of partners Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge as they attempt to square their urbanista attitudes with a Green Acres-ish existence on an upstate New York farm, this feisty new docu-series (Wednesdays, 9/8c, Planet Green) is the cutest thing since that hat-wearing kitten on YouTube...and the gayest show not on Bravo. But this is no Simple Life Goes 'Mo. The guys aren't idiots — former drag queen Kilmer-Purcell is a best-selling author and ad exec, Ridge is a former consultant to Martha Stewart's empire — and there's nary a "we're just doing this for the cameras" vibe. In fact, Kilmer-Purcell and Ridge have been running Beekman Estate since 2007 and distribute a boutique line of organic goods that needs to go national. (We really want some of that goat's milk soap, OK?) Best yet, their open affection with one another and devotion to their fellow local farmers feels as natural as their products. If only all reality TV couples were so healthy and good for you, huh? Did you check in with Planet Green's Fabulous Beekman Boys last night?
Forget Arizona's immigration mess. We really need to increase security on our TV borders. Because this Eurotrash-hole Markus Plinko or Klinko or whatever needs to go the hell home. High-pitched, high-maintenance and bitchier than a Real Housewives reunion, the screechy mess...
Even with two Emmys, a voice gig in Shrek Forever After and the sixth season of her riotous reality show starting tonight at 9/8c on Bravo, Kathy Griffin insists she's still the redheaded stepchild of the A-list. This is why. ...
Clear your schedules, kids. It's time for some screening. The official trailers for both SyFy's Battlestar Galatica: Online and HBO's eagerly anticipated Game of Thrones dropped recently and I'm not ashamed to say that the clips have been eating my free time ever since. The first, an effects extravaganza for the massively multiplayer online game, promises players the chance to enter the BSG fray between Cylons and survivors, without actually telling us when that promise will be fulfilled (sometime in the fall, according to developer Bigpoint's website). The second, a tragically short...
That Newsweek doof may think Sean Hayes is too gay to play straight in Broadway's Promises, Promises, but we know that he was just perfect to play host of last night's Tony Awards. Showcasing a healthy dose of the joie de swish he honed on Will & Grace without going full Nathan Lane, the recently out actor pulled off his double duty (host and lead-actor nominee) with a sparkling mix of charm and cheek that—despite to a few flubbed punch lines—helped him come of as the surprisingly well-adjusted off-spring of Jimmy Fallon and
If you were lucky enough to watch last week's Friday Night Lights, you won't argue with us — or the ongoing Facebook campaign — that Zach Gilford needs to be on this year's Emmy ballot. Just look at his ...
She's a Real Housewife of New York, a best-selling author and the funniest foodie you'll ever meet. Now Bethenny Frankel has added wife, mother and star of her own show, Bethenny Getting Married? (premiering Thursday at 10/9c on Bravo) to the résumé, which means this cutup of a chef has a lot on her plate! TV Guide Magazine: Why the question mark in the title? You did get married!Frankel: I wasn't when we developed the show. And I've always struggled with relationships, so it's more like, "Is she really going to get married? Is there an eclipse? [Laughs] Is this the second coming?" TV Guide Magazine: Did your new hubby, Jason Hoppy, know what he was getting into? Frankel: I don't think so. [Laughs] He's like ...
I am so powerless over Pretty Little Liars. And admitting that is the first step, right? Glossy, glammy and silly enough to make you roll your eyes while being reeled in, last night's opener was like crack, cut with Gossip Girl and soaked in I Know What You Did Last Summer. Love the cast. (Yay, Lucy Hale!)
