A Day Out With Bachelorette Emily Maynard

In the midst of her stint as this season's Bachelorette, the 26-year-old sassy single mom from Charlotte, North Carolina, accepted our invite to paint pottery at New York's Make Meaning and talk a little shop. We may not have gotten a rose, but she sure won our heart....
First Look: TLC's America's Worst Tattoos
Forget the tattoo of a devil Smurf riding a dolphin jumping over a rainbow that you scored on spring break. Or the top-hat wearing skeleton eating the heart of a gecko that your frat brothers dared you to get emblazed on your butt.TLC has rounded up some really regrettable works of ink and is putting them on blast in America's Worst Tatttos.
Design Star Dish: Kris Jenner's Office Overhaul
It's week three of HGTV's super-addictive Design Star, and tonight, the contestants are trying to keep with with guest judge Kris Jenner. So we tossed a few questions her way to see how the wannabes handled their assignment and if any of their designs could cut it in the Kardashian empire.
Summer Heats Up With the Boys of USA
A cop, a con man and a fake lawyer walk into a bar...and, no joke, every head turns. Still, it's nothing new to see the trio in question — Michael Ealy, Matt Bomer and Patrick J. Adams — with other, equally good-looking buddies. On the cops-in-therapy freshman series Common Law, Ealy's been sparking with costar Warren Kole as mismatched LAPD partners Travis Marks and Wes Mitchell. Bomer's White Collar schemer Neal Caffrey has spent the past three seasons bantering and buddying up to Tim DeKay's straitlaced Fed Peter Burke. And the SAG-nominated Adams is about to kick off his second season as legal-eagle poser Mike Ross opposite Gabriel Macht's slickster attorney Harvey Specter on Suits. Together, this holy trinity of cheekbones and charm exemplify the easy-to-look-at and easier-to-love attitude of USA's sunniest, funniest dramedies. Over drinks at a Manhattan hot spot the day before their high-seas cover shoot, the fellas shot the breeze with us about the network's "blue skies" aesthetic, their on-screen sidekicks and the pitch-perfect cross-over episode...
Beyond the Fringe Goes Beyond the Web
It's a good week for Fringe fans! After Thursday's announcement that the show's final Comic-Con panel would be held this summer in the San Diego Convention Center's mammoth Hall H, DC Comics is confirming that Beyond the Fringe, the top-selling digital-only comic inspired by Fox's sci-fi cult fave, would finally be released in a collected print edition this September...
Design Star Dish: Vanilla Ice on Guest Judging and Becoming a Designer
All right, stop, decorate and listen. Last night, rapper-turned-home rehabber Vanilla Ice pulled up a chair along Design Star host-mentor David Bromstad and judges Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip to help weigh-in on the show's always-popular White Room challenge. So we threw a few questions his way just to see if he could still flow like a harpoon.
Watercooler: How Much Do We Love the Duets Judges?
No offense, all other singing competitions, but Duets' judges have totally won us over.
Watercooler: The Real Housewives' Costa Rican Rumble
Down in Costa Rica, the saying "Pura Vida" is everywhere. It means "good life" and you can find stamped on everything from T-shirts to bottle openers to beer koozies. It's like the big thing. But now that the Real Housewives of Orange County have stormed the region for this season's lavish vacation, we're worried the country may adopt a new slogan.
First Look: Teri Hatcher Goes From Housewife To Hippie
Just over a month since escaping Desperate Housewives' Wisteria Lane, Teri Hatcher is setting down new roots as the estranged mom of teen designer Jane Quimby (Erica Dasher) on ABC Family's Jane by Design. "She's very different than Susan," says exec producer April Blair. "She's a bit of a free spirt who hasn't exactly grown up." That should prove...
Watercooler: What Is On Your Summer Watch List?
OK, let's face it, summer is here. Sure, it may not be June 21 yet, but even you calendar purists can admit that Memorial Day pretty much kicks off the season. Once ya start grilling encased meats, it's on. Which usually means your favorite shows aren't.
Watercooler: Rookie Blue Gives Us Reasonable Cause to Watch
OK, when did Rookie Blue get so good?! ABC's Canadian cop show returned last night and we gotta say, this thing deserves more than a summer fill-in slot. It's like Grey's with a badge and less Shonda-isms. For its third-season premiere, the series — about recent police-academy graduates cracking crimes and yeah, hooking up — trotted out William Shatner for a guest spot as a drunk driver who winds up leading the 15 Division to a twisted kidnapping case. Being Shatner, there was a fair share of over-the-top dramatics, but the frequent flares of comedy, and the super-likable ensemble (particularly Missy Peregrym and Gregory Smith) more than made up for those moments. Oh, and the closing scene with his character's recently recovered granddaughter was a total eye-wetter. We are not ashamed to admit that.
Watercooler: Glee's Graduation Earns High Marks
Ok, raise your hand if Glee made you weepy last night. Don't worry, nobody is here to judge. McKinley High's graduating class of 2012 went out on a high note with a season finale so solid, emotional and entertaining, you would have thought you were watching one of the show's first 13 episodes. Filled with callbacks to the kids' early days in New Directions and perfectly picked tunes — everyone had to perform "goodbye" songs — it was only about, oh, six minutes into the hour before we started to well up. After that, it was on. Kurt's dad doing "Single Ladies." Will serenading his students with "Forever Young." Sue's speech to Quinn. The seniors' "You Get What You Give." One scene after another, we were happily reminded why we celebrated this show so hard when it first started. Glee felt like it found its heart again.

Watercooler: How Did House Check Out?
SPOILER ALERT: Everybody dies. Some with dignity. Some after their own funeral.Last night, House took its final breath in a farewell that was part dirge, part Dickens and part winking nod to who Dr. Greg House has always been: The Sherlock Holmes of undiagnosable diseases. Was it perfect?
Watercooler: Kristen Wiig's Tearful SNL Farewell
We'll take "Things We Never Expected from Saturday Night Live" for a thousand.Answer: Tears of the "awwwww" kind.
American Ninja Warrior Comes Home!
For the first time ever, American Ninja Warrior, the U.S. version of the gonzo Japanese obstacle-course competition, has come to — wait for it — the U.S. "Previously, we've shot in Japan during the day in 100 degree heat," says returning host Matt Iseman, who was drawn to the gig after seeing the spectacle of the original series.

Yes, you read that right. She recently made our day by explaining how that last gig came to be...
Watercooler: Phillip Phillips is Twice as Nice on Idol
Well, well, well. It's been a while since American Idol gave us a moment like this. Last night, with just three finalists left, Phillip Phillips went and blew us away with two standout performances.
Watercooler: OK Glee, You Got Us!
Wow. We're not sure what's going on with TV's musicals this week, but they are on getting it right. Monday evening, Smash wrapped up its wobbly first season in the winning, adrenalized style we'd grown to miss since its pilot, and last night, Glee gave us two hours that flew by. And not because we were busy tossing out insults on Twitter.
Watercooler: Smash Ends on a High Note
OK, Smash, we take it back. Well, some of it.Since you showed up with that amazing pilot, things have been up and down. Mostly down. You just never seemed to get back on track after Karen's trip back to Ohio and as the weeks went by, you got weirder. Chinese babies?
