Survivor: Nicaragua's Tyrone Davis wants to clarify that no, he wasn't voted home because of the chicken. The Los Angeles fire captain, 42, found himself in a debate after the commingling of the older and younger tribes when he argued against killing one of his new tribe's birds. (The show suggested that when it was time to eat, he ate more than his share — which he...
The most inspirational thing on TV this week was on the news, for a change. The rescue of 33 Chilean miners, first trapped underground more than two months ago, kept viewers transfixed throughout the night and most of Wednesday after the first was brought to the surface Tuesday. Coverage of the miners' gleeful reunions with loved ones dominated...
Kanye West's Saturday Night Live appearance had everything — a pristine all-white set, 30 dancers, and one of West's most brilliant, emotive performances. But one thing was missing: A verse in his first song, "Power" dissing the entire show.The original version of the song includes the line...

William Shatner seems perfectly happy to be where he is. At the moment, that's starring in CBS' new Twitter-based sitcom, $#*! My Dad Says, in which he plays the irascible but ultimately decent — and maybe lonely — lead character.But it's also sitting in a futuristic treehouse-like structure, set in the middle of San Diego's Comic-Con, where he's doing interviews about the show and his life. And he's expressing no regrets.See pictures of William Shatner through the years"I'm a firm believer you get what you're supposed to be getting and you're doing what you're supposed to be doing," says Shatner, 79. "If you're really not supposed to be doing what you're doing, it becomes — it becomes so reprehensible that you've got to get out of it."How many times do people say, 'I've got to get out of it?' Or 'I'm retiring'? I don't even understand that concept. Retiring from what? ...
Entourage's season finale featured almost as much star wattage as the MTV VMAs, airing at the same time as Sunday's episode. Eminem, Minka Kelly, Ryan Howard, Drew Brees, Mark Cuban and Christina Aguilera all stopped in to help set up the series for its final season.Eminem thrives at VMAs ... then leavesBut as Jump the Shark fans well know, guest stars can be a sign of strength or weakness.
If you thought MTV might confront the Kanye vs. Taylor elephant in the auditorium at Sunday's VMAs, you were probably disappointed. Who rocked the VMAs white — not red — carpet? But Kanye West and Taylor Swift still faced off at MTV's Video Music Awards Sunday — never sharing a stage — with their performances. And opinions were intensely split about who was better.
We're sure MTV would love to include some kind of stunning make-up session between Kanye West and Taylor Swift at Sunday's VMAs. Maybe it could involve Justin Bieber, whose presence makes everything just a little funnier. Or Lady Gaga, who sprinkles shock everywhere she goes.Check out the most memorable VMA moments But it would be impossible to top last year's "I'ma let you finish" moment, unless the VMAs include the one thing that would actually be surprising:
It's been a great week for quitters. Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater went out big by quitting over his plane's intercom, grabbing some beers, and sliding down the emergency chute. Then a young woman's quitting via dry erase board made the online rounds, though she turned out to be an actress named Elyse Porterfield (whose name also sounds too good to be true). In honor of these disgruntled employees, real and fake, we salute eight of TV's greatest quitters — real, fake, and both. 8. Amanda Bynes: The All That and Amanda Show star announced in June that she was retiring from acting at the age of 24. A month later she changed her mind and announced her...
You know who's really kind of hard to believe? The cast of Community. Not because they're all talented or good-looking or whatever. They are. But that's true of most people on TV. But they only seem so smart and cool because other people — dorky sweaty writers — think of great stuff for them to do. Not so with the Community people. The Community people — and this is kind of an outrage — are also really good at coming up with great material for themselves. They proved it, yet again, at their Comic-Con panel Saturday. Comic-Con: Let TVGuide.com be your Avatar One of them is Chevy Chase, basically a...
That weird sound you heard Saturday was the howl of fan boys totally freaking out: Han Solo and James Bond showed up at Comic-Con at the same time. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig appeared in the famed Hall H, a space reserved for the really big moments, to promote Cowboys & Aliens, the new film by Iron Man director Jon Favreau. It was an especially big deal because Ford had never been to the previous 40 Comic-Con conventions, even for such supergeek touchpoints as Blade Runner, Star Wars or the Indiana Jones films. Check out all of TVGuide.com's Comic-Con coverage The star received a long and rapturous welcome. Duh. "Jon asked me to do it and it's hard to say no...
Look, it gets really crowded at Comic-Con, okay? The main room, Hall H, was briefly shut down Saturday after one man stabbed another in the face for sitting too close to him, San Diego police told TVGuide.com. Check out all of TVGuide.com's Comic-Con coverage The weapon of choice was a pen, according to police. The suspect was arrested and booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and the victim taken to a hospital for what police said was a...
William Shatner has a new TV son: CBS has recast the young lead who will star opposite him in the fall comedy $#*! My Dad Says.

Could Mel Gibson pull an it-wasn't-me defense?Since Friday, horrified listeners have heard recorded phone calls in which a man who sounds like the actor uses racial slurs, tells the mother of Gibson's child she deserved a recent battering, and threatens to bury her in a rose garden. A fourth call, released Wednesday, includes demands for oral sex and a threat to "burn the g------ house down."The tapes: Day 3All of which might seem career-ending for the Oscar-winning director of Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ — unless, somehow, it isn't Gibson's voice on the calls.For that to be true, Gibson would have to be the victim of an extremely complicated and unusual...
CBS will add only five new series to its fall lineup, taking an if-it-ain't broke approach that will bring back 18 series, though some of them will be in unproven new time slots. The male-dominated new shows include the previously anticipated Hawaii Five-0 reboot, a new legal drama, The Defenders, starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell, a family cop drama starring Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, and $#*! My Dad Says, a William Shatner vehicle inspired ...

Fox's new primetime lineup will feature more comedy and a little less American Idol, the network announced Monday.

Uh, wow. Robert Rodriguez's Mexploitation-inspired Machete might seem, at first glance, to have a limited audience. It's about a Mexican man who kills his enemies with, yes, machetes, and is an offshoot from Grindhouse, the Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino collaboration that did only slightly better box office than the cult classics that inspired it. But the Machete trailer Rodriguez cheekily released to coincide with Cinco de Mayo suggests his film may have something for almost everyone. To wit: Losties: Show veterans Michelle Rodriguez and Jeff Fahey have key roles. Arizonans: The new trailer thoughtfully opens with a ...

After hinting months ago that he would scale down his role with The Tonight Show, Kevin Eubanks announced on Monday's show that he would step down as Jay Leno's bandleader, a role he's played for 18 years.

High Society star Tinsley Mortimer denies a co-star's allegations that the show is a "docu-soap," and says if Jules Kirby is unhappy with the way she's portrayed on the CW series, it's her own fault.Exclusive Video: Is High Society star a racist, fattist homophobe?
