For a while there, it was looking like we might not see much more of "South Park." One of this season's episodes, "You're Getting Old," seemed to indicate that co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were sick and tired of doing the show, as the episode focused on cynicism and growing tired of the same routine. When you add in the fact that the two just had a huge amount of success with their Broadway musical "The Book of Mormon," it was looking like " South Park" might be behind them. Turns out they're not going anywhere.

You don't need to be an avid watcher of "Weeds" or a closet fan of "Half Baked" to understand that weed, legal or otherwise, is a massive business. At the center of that movement is Oakland (aka "Oaksterdam") and the Harborside Health Center, one of the state's largest and most advanced medical marijuana facilities. As Entertainment Weekly reported this morning, the show will be the subject of a new Discovery Channel series called "Weed Wars."

You might not recognize Spike Jonze on sight, but you would recognize his work: not only has he directed some fantastic feature films such as "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Being John Malkovich," but he has also directed some of music most famous (and most creative) music videos, including the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage." They've teamed up once again for another epic video. Two words: action figures.

"True love endures." Deep down, we all know that much is true. Unfortunately, "The Bachelorette" narrowed down to the final four contestants vying for Ashley Hebert's hand, and this week showed that whatever there's been between Ames and Ashley just couldn't go the distance. The Most Interesting Man In The World - at least, the most interesting of all the men with foreheads that could bust a coconut - went home this week.

With the "Harry Potter" movies finally done and "Twilight" wrapping up, it's time for "The Hunger Games" to start pushing its way into the pop culture scene. But how to do it? A trailer? No, there isn't enough footage yet. A poster? Too static and boring. How about a motion poster? Yep, Lionsgate has released a teaser poster for "The Hunger Games" and it's a motion poster, which basically means it's a flash object with some cool animation. Check it out here.

We knew things were going to be rough for Rupert Murdoch at Parliament, but this is ridiculous! At a Parliamentary hearing over NewsCorp's involvement in the News of the World phone hacking debacle, a man rushed Rupert Murdoch and tried to hit him with a cream pie, only to be foiled by Murdoch's wife Wendy Deng, who smacked him in the face. According to several sources, the man yelled "you're a greedy billionaire!"

Admittedly, as a new watcher of "Hell's Kitchen," I was a bit bewildered by last night's premiere episode. I'm used to the slow-play style of "Celebrity Apprentice" or the filler-ful episodes of "American Idol." The pace and sheer chaos of "Hell's Kitchen" took me by surprise...I mean, they barely even bothered to introduce the contestants.

The official trailer for season four of "Jersey Shore" dropped last night during "Teen Wolf," and you have to see it to believe it.
There are fights, makeouts, more fights, fist pumping, more fights, and a few more fights. Seriously, MTV packed every ounce of drama from the coming season into this trailer, and it makes it look like the "Shore" crew's apartment in Florence might burn to the ground before all is said and done.
