OK folks, I know I've been MIA from blog land for quite some time now (thanks a lot, Britney), but I just had to share my latest fave from the Fug universe. Brilliant, ladies. Brilliant.Posh, you're scaring me! Jackets need friends... they're called camisoles. And it's OK to smile — hell, the other Spices are having a good time! Nevertheless, this lightened my day and made me realize that maybe those Dancing with the Stars outfits aren't all that bad. Right, Mel B.?
For all the Gossip Girl fans out there, it comes down to tonight's episode (9 pm/ET, CW). We've seen the steamy romps, heard all the secrets and wondered who will prevail in this cat-and-mouse game. So to get some inside scoop, TVGuide.com caught up with British native Ed Westwick, who plays GG's most evil Upper East Sider, Chuck. Will Chuck win Blair in the end?

It's finally here. For One Tree Hill fans, the much-anticipated Season 5 airs tonight with a special two-hour premiere (8 pm/ET, CW). Along with a significant jump ahead in time, we'll see some rocky relationships, emotional turmoil and new faces, but many questions loom. Will there be a proposal? Will they all return home? And where did the strike make its cut? Sophia Bush talked with TVGuide.com about the upcoming twists and turns of the Tree Hill gang and why skipping the college years might just save this show. TVGuide.com: I'm so excited for the premiere; we're four years ahead now.Sophia Bush: I really am, too. It's one of the neater things we've ever gotten to do, and I know it's reinvigorated the actors and the writing staff. Nobody wants to see the college years. I think you run out of interesting storylines. TV
Upon returning this fall, ABC's October Road (Mondays, 10 pm/ET) has stepped it up a notch by throwing an engagement into the mix. But will Hannah really marry Big Cat? TVGuide.com caught up with Laura Prepon, who plays the bride-to-be, so we could get the details on her pending nuptials, one very big secret and the rest of the season. TVGuide.com: How are you? Excited that the show's back on?Laura Prepon: I'm f--ckin' awesome. Yeah, it's really cool. TVGuide.com: So with the strike going on, how many episodes have you shot?Prepon: We're on Episode 12 right now. We're gonna shoot 13 because the writers actually finished the 13-episode order, which is pretty crazy. They literally locked themselves in the writers' room and wrote for days and the network approved the scripts and they're really good. I
In the wake of the WGA's quick dismissal of the AMPTP's recent offer, or what they call the "New Economic Partnership," TVGuide.com readers have raised their voices about this latest development. So far, most reader responses are in favor of the producers. So, is everyone tired of the writers' demands? Below, we've gathered several comments that showed us how you, as TV viewers, are reacting. "Break the union, fire all the people who don't want to work, and get some fresh writers. Greedy people don't need to work." — wornout "Producers, cut the crap. Make a real offer and let's get on with it." — bravegal "[People who think] the writers are just being greedy are just completely out of touch with reality. Writing for television is a specialized skill, and that $1.3 billion is being
With its colorful themes, shouting contestants and big prizes, you'd think NBC's Singing Bee had it all. But on Tuesday, Oct. 30 (8 pm/ET), host Joey Fatone and the rest of the Bee crew — plus audience — will be dressed up for Halloween, and we don't doubt it'll be a spooky and exciting night of singing. TVGuide.com caught up with Fatone about his latest tricks and favorite treats, plus who he's rooting for on Dancing with the Stars! TVGuide.com: So what did you do at M&M World in New York recently?Joey Fatone: I tap-danced, did backflips, it was amazing. [Laughs] Actually, I was there because M&Ms is doing a huge campaign to kick off the Halloween season — and I love Halloween because I love to go trick-or-treating
Spotted: S and B's common thread, N, chatting with TVGuide.com outside school. Is B jealous when she hears her man drop S' name to the online reporter? OK, so that's not exactly how it went, but we did talk to Gossip Girl's (Wednesdays, 9 pm/ET, CW) Chace Crawford about S and B and all that comes with attending an Upper East Side private school. He also shared some scoop on Nate's heated family drama, a Thanksgiving you won't want to miss, and a guest star in tonight's episode that he's really excited about.

You've seen a beauty pageant or two: There are swimsuits, evening gowns, and questions about current events and dreams for the future. But what happens after the winner receives her crown? What are these girls really like? With MTV's newest reality show, Pageant Place (premiering tonight at 10:30 pm/ET), Miss Universe Organization co-owner Donald Trump decided to give you a peek into the lives of several 2007 titleholders during their year of glory. TVGuide.com talked to three of them — Miss USA Rachel Smith, Miss Universe Riyo Mori and Miss Teen USA Hilary Cruz — about the drama, the stereotypes and what they want to prove to America.

If you've ever watched chef Alton Brown's show Good Eats and said to yourself, "How does he know that?" you're in for an even bigger surprise when you tune in to Food Network's new reality competition The Next Iron Chef (premiering Oct. 7 at 9 pm/ET on the Food Network). With skill tests and artistic challenges, America's best cooks will compete to be the next Iron Chef, and host Brown is sure they'll have you thinking, "How do they do that?" TVGuide.com chatted with the all-knowing foodie about this risky new series, why you'll never see him competing and what he really thinks about reality shows. TVGuide.com: So where did you find these chefs?Alton Brown: All over the United States. It came down to a few different
OK, lay it on me. Who's waiting for Sex and the City: The Movie to finally hit theaters so you can see if Carrie marries Big, Charlotte's still crazy, Miranda's still cynical and Samantha's still with Smith? Oh, come on, admit it. At first I thought, "What? No! They'll ruin the whole idea of the show by making some movie out of it!" But as shooting began recently here in New York City, I warmed up to the idea of continued storylines and Big possibilities. Plus, I love me some Harry!And on another note, we're sure to revisit Carrie's unique style and fashion choices. This won't be the first time we'll see her adorned with a giant flower and shoes that never seem to match on first glance. I couldn't help but wonder... who's going to buy a ticket? And who prefers the final image of NYC's fantastic four to be their side-by-side strut we saw in the show's finale?
Wow. It's been ages since I've blogged, so I apologize. But I've been through quite a whirlwind over here! Nevertheless, I am here and totally hooked on summer's best sporting event: The U.S. Open. Every August, my mom and I get caught up in the sweat and glory of insanely good tennis. From the Williams sisters and their bold fashion choices to Andy Roddick and his fierce backhand, there is nothing better than a filled Arthur Ashe stadium and the back and forth of focused athletes battling it out for that grand slam title. Just last night, we watch Maria Sharapova cut her competition out of the running in less than an hour, while Justin Gimmelstob gracefully bowed out after Roddick topped his game — Gimmelstob playing his last singles Open match. Anyone else into the Aces and Deuces that make this sport one of the greatest?
Last year when TBS premiered My Boys (Mondays, 10 pm/ET), many people quickly dubbed it the new Friends. While that's a huge compliment to series regular Michael Bunin and his cast mates, he's taking it all in stride and is just happy to be working on a show that people are relating to. TVGuide.com talked with Bunin to find out how he spent his hiatus, who might pop up in the new season and why playing Kenny is sometimes frustrating even off the set. TVGuide.com: What were you doing during the hiatus?Michael Bunin: I have a weekly improv show with a troupe [The Red Shirt Freshmen] that's been running for about seven years, performing on stage once a week. Then about a year and a half ago, I learned how to play the drums, so I have this Irish band a
It's been a very long hiatus for My Boys fans since the TBS comedy's December 2006 Season 1 finale. But with new episodes beginning tonight at 10 pm/ET, there are plenty of loose ends to tie up and new situations to deal with. TVGuide.com caught up with the show's leading lady, Jordana Spiro, to get the goods on upcoming romances, big guest stars and surprising changes around the poker table. TVGuide.com: I'm so excited for the show to return. It's been too long of a wait.Jordana Spiro: Thank you! Likewise! TVGuide.com: What have you been up to since filming ended last year?Spiro: I did a movie with Jimmy Fallon, Lucy Liu and Tony Hale called Rockett. We shot that in Jacksonville, Florida, and it was really fun. Then I traveled a little bit. So yeah... tough life. TVGuide.com:
The moment Emeril Lagasse announced Amy Finley as the Season 3 winner of The Next Food Network Star, her life changed forever. Now, with her own TV show ahead of her, the mother of two from San Diego, California, plans on having fun even if she is overwhelmed. TVGuide.com caught up with the self-proclaimed "foodie" to talk about the intense ride that landed her in the No. 1 spot and why, even after considering dropping out of the show, she decided to stick it out for the long haul. TVGuide.com: Congrats! How does it feel? Amy Finley: Thanks! It's still sinking in. It's zero to 60 in about three seconds. [Laughs] TVGuide.com: I can imagine.
No one knows how to take a bigger bite out of life than Guy Fieri. The second-season winner of The Next Food Network Star (the new season wraps up Sunday at 9 pm/ET), Fieri has spiced things up with his spiky hair and unique recipes on new shows like Guy's Big Bite and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. He shared details of his wild ride and newfound fame with TVGuide.com, as well as his biggest advice for the next winner. TVGuide.com: OK, this might be a stupid question, but from where you're standing now, if you could do Next Food Network Star again, would you?Guy Fieri: [Pauses] Yes. My [season] was
She has mastered the 30-minute meal. She's published cookbooks, dined all over the country with only $40 in her wallet, and started an organization to help kids and families feel healthy no matter where they live or who's cooking for them. But it doesn't stop there. During possibly one of the hottest weeks of the summer, Rachael Ray raised her iced coffee in the middle of a heat wave and sent a horde of helpers out to deliver free coffee throughout New York City as part of Dunkin' Donuts' "Running of the Cups" campaign to thank local heroes. Luckily, the perky chef sat down with TVGuide.com — in an air-conditioned room... phew! — to explain the reason behind this charitable event and why giving back is simply delish. TVGuide.com: This really is a terrific cause....Rachael Ray: Isn't this fun? It's such a cute idea, "Running of the Cups," and there's a couple of layer
Well, slightly uncovered. I settled into my comfy couch last night anticipating a royal masterpiece — Matt Lauer's highly-publicized interview with Princes William and Harry, just before the 10-year anniversary of their mother's still-mysterious death. While the hour was filled with brotherly love, a few jokes and a perspective never given to American television before, it was also less than what I wanted it to be. I supposed I should have expected the commercials leading up to this Dateline interview to lead me on, but I was hopeful that I'd learn more about these siblings born into the spotlight than I did. And when it was over, I thought, "That's it?"Still, there were moments that truly shed light on who they are — most of us will never even come close to speaking with them, but Mr. Lauer did open a few doors to their wrongly-depicted lifestyles.Harry, for example, said he'd be living in Africa for both humanitarian and safari-driven reasons if he weren't a public figur...
OK, is this weird? I could watch the Food Network all day. I'm serious. I might have even spent a Sunday doing just that. Anyone else? (Ali, I know you're out there!) Now, I have no culinary experience aside from watching my grandmother whip up family-size entrees without measuring a thing or glancing at a cookbook. In fact, I'm pretty sure she could peel all the apples for her unbeatable pie blindfolded before I finish rolling out the dough. But despite my lack of entertaining or occasional cereal dinners (that's right, I admitted it), I crave the ability to perfect recipes, chop garlic super fast and pull biscuits out of the oven while viewers watch in admiration.Among my favorites on the Food Network are Giada De Laurentiis and her simple approach to Italian cooking; Paula Deen for the mere amusement of her endearing accent and mounds of butter; Bobby Flay for his masterful grill skills (I'll never forget the lobster quesadillas he made one day); and last, but not least, Rachael ...
As summer sets in and I feel the need to lighten my TV-viewing load, I find myself casually and occasionally watching shows that both boggle my mind with their pointlessness and intrigue me with the bizarre and neurotic behavior that comes along with their casts. Aside from my weekly summer regulars like Entourage, Hidden Palms (can we say O.C. wannabe?), and The Starter Wife (which I don't quite love as much as I had hoped to), I feel like I've wasted years of my life getting caught up in the disaster that is Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas. Now, for any fans out there who have dedicated themselves to the alternate universe that is The Real World, you have to admit that this was a pretty genius idea on MTV's part. Bringing back this rowdy crew for another round of late-night shenanigans in The Palms Casino was sure to start fires and force uncomfortable exes to cohabitate. It's only the second week and Irulan is already crying in hysterics about having dinner with Alton. And Ari...
[Standing ovation] To all the persistent Jericho fans who overloaded CBS' mailbox with nuts, I applaud you. With the developing news about the show's return, we can only hope it sticks.New Bern, you're goin' down.
Alexis Bledel knows she can't shake her lovably sweet character Rory so soon after the series ending of long-running Gilmore Girls — and she's not trying to. But she is excited to try new roles, like the quiet, calm-talking Kate Peterson in her latest film I'm Reed Fish (in theaters now), where she faces marriage and romantic turmoil, far from the fast-paced "Yale Daily News" and the hustle and bustle of Luke's Diner. TVGuide.com caught up with the Stars Hollow favorite for her thoughts on Rory's final moments and moving on after Gilmore. TVGuide.com: How do you feel about Logan (Matt Czuchry) and Rory's breakup and how the series ended in general?
