VIDEO: The Commercial Kings Pay Tribute to Harry Potter Tribute

Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal of Commercial Kings (IFC, Fridays, 10/9c) often do this thing where they'll take a block of speech that sounds far from musical (or rhythmic, for that matter) and squeeze it into a song. Maybe the ultimate example of that is below, in which a Harry Potter love vlog from a self-described "fangirl...with a camera...being an amateur" becomes an emotional goodbye ballad (despite mosquitoes that threaten to take down the entire production)...

Sarah Jessica Parker Reveals Insecurity Over Acting, Parenting

Sarah Jessica Parker is in her fourth decade of professional acting, and yet she still feels insecurity about her abilities. "I lose my appetite," she tells Vogue. "By Wednesday of the first week on [the upcoming] I Don't Know How She Does It, I was sobbing, I was apologizing. I was feeling so awful and ashamed, like I had let the director down. If only they would not tell me when the camera was running, I would be OK. I'm like that two weeks into every movie"...

VIDEO: America's Got Talent's Triumph of the Parrot Spirit

Good news for those who look to birds for entertainment: Echo, the parrot who killed his first America's Got Talent audition but clammed up with "stage fright" during the Vegas round, soared on the season's first live show Tuesday night. Fun fact: birds don't just fly "Over the Rainbow"; they sing it as well. I think we can all agree that Echo is a very nice analog alternative to all the CGI talking animals that populate pop culture...

VIDEO: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Zany Howie Mandel

If the only information about OCD came from Howie Mandel, I would think that talking about having it was its worst symptom. He's practically turned an affliction into shtick! Anyway, he mentioned it again on his Tonight Show with Jay Leno appearance Monday night to promote the start of the live rounds on America's Got Talent. He also came out in an Elizabethan collar for no reason other than to be wacky. What a card!...

Platinum Hit's Jackie Tohn on Doing Idol Versus Hit

The topic of last week's challenge on Platinum Hit was risk, and the judges showed eliminated contestant Jackie Tohn just how dangerous it can be to take one:  after choosing country as her genre, she found herself kicked to the curb. Below the American Idol alum compares her two reality experiences, discusses Nick's antagonism and explains the thought process behind her much-maligned "Super Duper Rapper" hook...

VIDEO: Hoarders' Roy Hoards Cars, Accomplishments

On this week's Hoarders (Monday, 9/8c, A&E) we're introduced to Roy, who lives in Boulder Creek, Calif., and is something of an anomaly — because all his hoarding (that we see) takes place outside on his 168 acres of land. (The added space means he can hoard larger things like cars.) But it's also because of his accomplishments as an inventor. Here are a few of the inventions he claims responsibility for...

In the clip below from this week's Intervention, we see the profiled addict, Latisha, basically walk all over her mother to smoke crack in her apartment. Her mother explains that as a recovering addict herself, guilt drives her to enable her daughter's addiction. It's harrowing. But you know what's even more harrowing?...

Octomom Nadya Suleman stopped by Friday's Today show to... uh, who knows? She could barely get a word in above the din of eight toddlers freaking out and almost destroying the Today show set (and themselves). Ironically, the virtual inability to communicate makes this interview more telling than any subdued, one-on-one sit-down could be: You get a real sense of this family's inner chaos...
