The creator of one of the best comedies on TV is teaming up with the showrunner of one of the best dramas as Ricky Gervais (creator of "The Office") and Clyde Phillips (showrunner for "Dexter") join forces to bring a new comedy to life. Or..to afterlife.
Gervais and Phillips are currently working on a new comedy called "Afterlife," according to EW. The show tells the story of an atheist who dies and, ironically, goes to heaven.

Forget romantic comedies, one of the biggest "will they or won't they" stories of late has been whether or not Universal would go through with their plans to adapt the Stephen King fantasy series "The Dark Tower" into a set of movies. As it turns out, they won't.
Though there was hope of late that the project could pull through with some changes, Universal has officially pulled the plug on the project.

As great as James Spader is, there are a lot of fans of "The Office" out there who wish that he wasn't coming on to replace the exiting Steve Carell. After all, Carell was the heart and soul of the show, and it just won't be the same without him. But there's at least one fan that's really excited to see Spader take over, and that's Carell himself.

Tragedy struck today as the aftermath of a car crash last Thursday involving Lakers star Lamar Odom took a fatal turn.
Odom was being driven to his cousin's funeral by a hired driver on Thursday when the driver struck a motorcyclist and propelled him into a 15-year-old pedestrian. The boy sustained head injuries and underwent emergency surgery, but passed away the next day. A funeral took place early on Monday.

The montage at the beginning of this premiere episode promises "the most volatile season yet." Judging by all the yelling, screaming and crying going on, that might actually be the case. At the start of our first episode of the new season, we get a little roundtable introduction to our chefs, including the large and bearded Jason, the Jersey-born Will, and the already-annoying Carrie, who thinks she's a lot hotter than she actually is.

Awful truth, or clever editing? You decide! A new preview clip of the upcoming season of "Jersey Shore" has The Situation confronting Snooki about an alleged hook-up, which Snooki vehemently denies. "She told me not to tell anyone," says Sitch, after a full-on argument erupts between him and Snicks. Does this mean that Sitch and Snooki hooked up? It certainly looks that way.

Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and these "Breaking Bad" ratings numbers prove it. After a year away, the hit AMC drama premiered Sunday night to 2.6 million viewers, a record for the series. In fact, that's 30% more viewers than the season three premiere drew.

To tell you the truth, I never got why people gave a rat's ass about Rebecca Black or "Friday."
Sure the song was crappy, and the video was ludicrous, but was it really awful enough to warrant such an explosive internet phenomena? To command parody covers from the likes of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon, not to mention the cast of "Glee"? Meh. Luck, kismet and earnestness brought Rebecca Black into the public eye, and now she's back with another video. Watch it here.

As if the news could possibly get any better for Warner Bros., it turns out that the Monday actuals for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" were even better than the Sunday estimates said. Those estimates already had "Harry Potter 7-2" breaking box office records, but apparently it broke them even more.
