May 11, 2012 @ 8:39 am PST    NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, Game Trailers     Sean Comer

Shares last started a day this poorly for the electronics brand clear back in 1980, when the Walkman was still new-fangled.

Country Music Hall of Famer Loretta Lynn told a crowd from onstage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium that she's taking her life's story, "Coal Miner's Daughter", to Broadway.

Bristol Palin Attacks Barack Obama, His Kids, Gay Marriage and 'Glee'....All At Once
May 10, 2012 @ 2:15 pm PST    Glee, Dancing with the Stars , Sarah Palin's Alaska, Sarah Palin: The Undefeated, Sarah Palin: You Betcha!, Good Morning America     Sean Comer    
After reading all this, I kind of wish it had been Sarah Palin that had spoken up first, instead of her daughter. Nobody knows all about the sanctity of marriage quite like a 21-year-old unwed mother. Bristol Palin's rambling taking-to-task of President Obama's reversal of course regarding gay marriage had her invoking Obama's kids, "Glee" and Dora the Explorer....in the same amazing blog.

Still, Harrison has some questions he'll answer right off the bat: first and foremost, he won't be going from host of "The Bachelor" to contestant any time soon. Second, from the sounds of it, ladies shouldn't necessarily think the helicopter and limo rides come standard with dating him.

The shades of 2008 and "Scrubs" are hard to ignore. "Cougar Town", after a disappointing return from hiatus, won't be back under the ABC banner next fall. That's the bad news. The good news? TBS has enthusiastically picked up the Bill Lawrence comedy for a fourth season to air on cable.
