It looks like NBC will be getting more out of their "The Voice" star Adam Levine than just his coaching services. Levine is producing a new scripted show for the network, one that looks to be an attempt to compete with "Glee." The as-of-yet untitled show will be an ensemble comedy with musical elements that takes place at a karaoke bar. The idea is to blend music into the show in a way that makes sense - you know, kind of how "Glee" did back at the beginning of season one.

Sometimes, if it sounds unbelievable, it's not to be believed. Yesterday reports started emerging that recently deceased singer Amy WInehouse had secretly been working on adopting a 10-year-old island girl named Dannika Augustine from St. Lucia. Too-good-to-be true pictures of Amy on the island playing with the little girl emerged and a heart-breaking account of yet another tragic element of the WInehouse story. Predictably, those unbelievable rumors are false.

Leave it to Larry David to come up with one of the funniest sight gags in recent memory. It all starts when Larry, in shambles after his assistant Antoinette has taken a leave of absence from work to be with her dying father, complains of the lack of organization. A call from Larry to Antoinette's father finds that he's not getting any worse, so he convinces Antoinette to come back for a day. You can see where this is going, can't you?

After a tumultuous couple of weeks on "Breaking Bad," it seems that things are finally calming down for Walt. At least there were no murder attempts this week. It's a start, right? In fact, Walter is mostly along for the ride in "Open House."

If the past two episodes, the two-part "Sanctuary" set, seemed a bit slow in terms of learning new things about the aliens, all of that lost ground is made up in "What Lies Beneath." We get not one, but two shocking discoveries about our alien friends, all in one hour.

What the Smurf is going on here? It seemed that the star-studded, action-heavy "Cowboys and Aliens" would be the clear choice to win the weekend at the box office, but the badly-reviewed "The Smurfs" has performed just as well despite critical panning. So who won out? Was it the rugged cowboys or the little blue guys (and one blue girl)? The answer is neither of them.

Just weeks after the split between J.Lo and Marc Anthony, eyewitnesses allegedly spotted former lovers P-Diddy and J.Lo back together. While J. Lo's reps denied the appearance, rumors of a rekindled relationship have not subsided, and Diddy's sources say his "fantasy girl" could come at a cost.
