"Ringer" has been on break for a long time. In case you've forgotten, before the holidays Bridget fell in love with Andrew and Juliet said her teacher raped her. Gemma got killed a million times but rose from the dead like a villain at the end of a teen slasher movie, only to be shot for the hundred and first time and killed. Also Siobhan is back in town. That should about cover it.

It's the moment you've supposedly been waiting for! It's finally time for the "Glee" Michael Jackson tribute, which is all well and good except that logic flies out the window in this episode and it takes subtext along with it. Get a full recap here.

Sure, NBC scrapped last night's new "Fear Factor" featuring a donkey semen-chugging stunt. Two contestants tell TMZ that doesn't mean they regret doing it. Quite the opposite, actually.

After a while, one simply must wonder: does Tracy Morgan just willfully go out and generate bad press whenever he feels "30 Rock" writers' wellsprings of material dry out? With his mother facing foreclosure, the Emmy nominee is reportedly leaving her hanging. Rightfully so, Morgan's family isn't exactly thrilled.

Pardon the pun, but let Cynthia Nixon set something absolutely straight: she may not view bisexuality as a conscious choice, but her choosing a homosexual relationship over a heterosexual one absolutely was. The co-star of HBO's iconic "Sex And The City" ensemble cast and its following two movies brought the heat of gay activists upon herself when she recently told the New York Times "I understand that for many people [homosexuality is not a choice], but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me.

"Luck" seems like such an apropos name. Most shows that premiere to barely over 1 million viewers would be considered a disappointment. Nevertheless, HBO's new horses-and-gamblers drama led by Dustin Hoffman and produced by Michael Mann has been given the green light for a full 10-episode second season, coming January 2013.
