February 21, 2012 @ 9:14 pm PST    The Colbert Report     Sean Comer    
Hey, if Madonna can get a children's book published, Stephen Colbert could surely write the first one to win a Nobel Prize for Literature.

February 21, 2012 @ 8:33 pm PST    Ringer, Supernatural, Wild Things     Morgan Glennon    
Another "Ringer" episode, another shocking final moment. If there's one thing that "Ringer" has gotten good at over its half season on our small screens, it's pulling out the "OMG" twist ending.

Representatives for Sugarland on Tuesday had to immediately clarify statements deflecting responsibility for this past summer's Indiana State fair stage-collapse tragedy from the band and its crew. According to Entertainment Weekly, the controversy started when Indiana news station WRTV obtained documents containing statements blaming not just weather but fans themselves for the 50 injuries and seven deaths this past August.

February 21, 2012 @ 5:25 pm PST    Anger Management, Two and a Half Men     Sean Comer    
Well, whaddya know? Even a self-professed "warlock" can have a heart. Following a frustrated blow-up four days ago in which Charlie Sheen claimed "I'm tired of pretending Ashton (Kutcher) doesn't suck" or that the CBS hit "Two And A Half Men" that Kutcher replaced him on didn't do the same, Entertainment Weekly reports that Sheen has found his senses.

Wishes Granted: 'Community' Returns March 15, 2012
February 21, 2012 @ 5:22 pm PST    Community, Parks & Recreation , The Big Bang Theory, Whitney, The Office, Up All Night, 30 Rock, Are You There, Chelsea?     Sean Comer    
It's one small step for NBC, one giant leap for a show with a die-hard following that's missed it dearly . . . and quite possibly someone's future massive fall backward. After months spent speculating about when (or sometimes, "if") "Community" would finish out its third season, fans can exhale knowing that Dan Harmon's beloved cult comedy looking over one Greendale Community College study group's shoulders returns March 15, according to Entertainment Weekly today.

There's a field of incredibly talented actresses up for the award this year, making this one a tough category to call. But all things considered, it mostly comes down to just two: Viola Davis or Meryl Streep. Who will take home the Oscar?

'The Voice' Takes Monday Night Crown; 'Hawaii Five-0' Takes Down 'Smash'
February 21, 2012 @ 3:40 pm PST    The Voice, Smash, Hawaii Five-0 , Castle, Alcatraz, House, The Bachelor, Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, Mike & Molly, 2 Broke Girls, Hart of Dixie, Gossip Girl     Sean Comer    
OK, so we're clearly not getting the definitive showodown of the prime-time talent searches because a certain "American Idol" producer is allergic to money and ratings. The good people behind the "The Voice" will probably accept ruling over Monday nights as one fine consolation prize. The NBC hit once more ruled over Monday night, but the network can't like where it appears "Smash" is headed.

Watch Stephen Colbert Explain His Absence....Hilariously

Family emergency notwithstanding, Stephen Colbert just didn't miss a beat. The Comedy Central faux-pundit host of "The Colbert Report" taped his show's first new episode since tapings were briefly halted midway through last week. Starting with the Feb. 15 episode, fans were treated to reruns through the rest of the week as Colbert tended to his seriously ill, 91-year-old mother Lorna back home in South Carolina.

The Best Actor category this year seems to be down to two names: George Clooney and Jean DuJardin. One seemed a sure thing for a while, but lately DuJardin has made a surge. Who will walk home with the trophy?

Simon Cowell Wants an 'American Idol'/'X Factor'/'The Voice' Super Final; Javier Colon Accepts
February 21, 2012 @ 9:33 am PST    American Idol, The Voice, The X Factor     Andy Neuenschwander    
Simon Cowell flapped his mouth about aiming only for 20 million viewers or more for "The X Factor," and that failed. So with the recent success of "The Voice," Cowell got a new idea: challenge their singers to a "super final." Is he crazy, or a genius?
