If you're at work, get the headphones. If you're at home and you have some shiny new speakers to put through their paces, now's the time. Last night's "American Idol" season finale also marked the debut of two new TV spots for Michael Bay's last bow as "Transformers" director, "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon," and we've got them here.

As a public service to fan-boys all across the Internet, we here at Yidio now present to you 20th Century Fox's short list of directors to succeed the exiting Oscar-winner Darren Aronofsky in directing the studio's next "X-Men" follow-up, "The Wolverine," starring once more Hugh Jackman as the titular clawed and ill-tempered mutant.

A new writing staff, added cast members, and plenty of dangling plot threads leave a lot to look forward to. Entertainment Weekly sat down to talk to "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk about the season two finale, which aired Tuesday night, but couldn't resist asking him what the next season has in store.

With the Republican Presidential picture still taking shape, former Alaska Governor and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has neither confirmed nor ruled out a 2012 run for the White House. She's absolutely confirmed that Katie Couric won't get her stocking stuffed with a moose-sausage gift set anytime soon. According to recent reports, Palin is consulting with filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon on Bannon's self-financed $1-million biopic of the polarizing politico Palin.

If a big 3D release rescues "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" from its 2009 predecessor's abyssmal reviews, send a small "thank you" to James Cameron. In an interview for "The Hollywood Reporter," Cameron and "Transformers" director Michael Bay discussed the convincing it took not just to get Bay back on board for a third installment, but to shoot the thing in 3D.

SPOILERS AHEAD! If you haven't watched "Idol" yet, move along. There's nothing to see here. For the rest of you, here's in interesting idea: it seems that you can use Twitter to predict the winner of "American Idol." Or, if you want to put it in a more dramatic way, there's a Twitter curse! Did you imagine a music sting when you read that? Good.

It's Jay's birthday, and everyone in the family has their task to get done for the party while Jay goes fishing. Of course, when you're dealing with the Pritchett-Dunphys, nothing ever goes that smoothly, does it? Phil runs into his old nemesis Glen (a guest appearance from the very funny Rob Huebel), who used to beat Phil in everything..cheerleading and close-up magic. But when Phil runs into Gloria at the mall, he gets an idea: make Glen think that Gloria is his wife to make him jealous! Find out what happens in the warm and fuzzy season finale of "Modern Family."

When we last brought video of the new Sarah Michelle Gellar series "Ringer," it was only a twenty-second compilation of vague, cliffhanger-y statements. But given the complexity of the series (which includes murders, disappearances, twins, secret identities, and the mob just in the SET-UP), it was probably wise for the CW to give viewers a longer taste of what they're in for.

Last night's "South Park" really struck a chord with me. Why? Because they tackled an issue that has always bothered me, yet never seemed to be talked about anywhere except in media outlets that sort of have to side with the ones in charge. That's right, we're talking about you ESPN. And crack babies. And bacon.

"The X Factor" can't seem to catch a break. Back when taping began, negotiations with fourth judge Paula Abdul went down to the wire with an agreement being reached only moments before cameras started rolling. Now, it looks like "The X Factor" might have another issue with another judge: Cheryl Cole.
