Dance's Allison and Ryan Explain America's Decision

As the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance tiptoes toward us, it's safe to say that few fans will be happy to say goodbye to the remaining dancers. The most recent elimination dealt a shocking blow: Longtime favorite Allison Holker, the 18-year-old contemporary specialist from Utah, was voted off the stage. The other ousted performer, 20-year-old New Yorker Ryan Rankine, was less surprised about leaving, since for weeks the judges had been harping on him for holding back and lacking self-confidence. TVGuide.com caught up with the two last Friday to see if judge Nigel Lythgoe should hand in his amateur-shrink license, and if America was watching a completely different show than we were. First, Allison.... TVGuide.com: You were robbed! Were you as shocked as we were that you left so early?Allison Holker: You cannot predict these things. We four girls really did not know wh

Annette Bening Is a Real Lady Killer

News flash: Annette Bening has once again fallen in love with a charming, wealthy older man who has a reputation for being a bit of a Casanova. But unlike the story of Bening's real-life romance — her marriage to Warren Beatty has been going strong for nearly 14 years now — there's no happy ending for the character the Oscar-nominated actress plays in HBO's Mrs. Harris (premiering Feb. 25 at 8 pm/ET). Inspired by Shana Alexander's best-selling book Very Much a Lady, the movie explores the sensational 1980 murder scandal involving Jean Harris, the middle-aged headmistress of an exclusive girls' boarding school who shot and killed her longti

Franco says the Tommy Gavin he...

Franco says the Tommy Gavin he used to know "was a lyin', cheatin', brawlin', skirt-chasing son of a bitch" compared to the present version. On any other show, having that description no longer fit would be a sign of progress. Here, it's a character flaw. Not that I disagree, necessarily. I mean, devil you know and all, right? Yet the speech of the evening goes to Tommy for his description of the lot of the firefighter today: "We get paid s--t. We'll always get paid s--t, because the politicians got us by the b---s, because we never go on strike. Yeah, this country respected us after 9/11. They put the spotlight on us. But now, because this country has ADD, we're back to being glorified garbagemen. Garbagemen with booze and drug problems, but garbagemen nonetheless." Sometimes only a fictional character can get away with speaking the truth when it hurts. Now whether or not Tommy really does have a buried thing for Laura, I think he knew the color of her eyes all a

Carly Simon's Candid Talk

She's chronicled her romantic angst in song since the '70s, but Carly Simon has always left a piece of her heart in the '30s and '40s. As proof, the 60-year-old singer and songwriter is releasing her fourth CD of standards, Moonlight Serenade, on July 19. We visited the Oscar and Grammy winner at her Greenwich Village duplex in a historic town house. TV Guide: Moonlight Serenade has a very intimate, mellow feel.Carly Simon: Our intention was an album that you could make out to. [Laughs] TV Guide: You actually knew some legendary composers.Simon: Yes. Arthur Schwartz ("Dancing in the Dark") was my parents' [Simon & Schuster publisher Richard Simon and his wife Andrea] best friend. Oscar Hammerstein was a close friend of theirs, too. I have a personal feeling about these songs. TV Guide: Can you feel as passionate about these songs as you do about your own?Simon:
