It was made famous when a young Macaulay Culkin defended it from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, and now the house from "Home Alone" is up for sale. As a child of the late 80's and early 90's, the excitement over the prospect of living in that house makes me want to rob a bank so that I could buy it. Really, it's enough to make you want to run around the house screaming with your hands on your face.

It's official, the new judge for "The X Factor" is Cheryl What's-Her-Face.
We kid. Fox announced today that Cheryl Cole, the British songstress and judge from the UK version of "The X Factor" will officially be judging the new U.S.- based show alongside Simon Cowell and uber-producer L.A. Reid.
Cole got her start on reality TV as part of the girl group Girls Aloud, which competed on the British show "Pop Stars: The Rivals," and has gone on to produce two #1 albums on the UK charts: "Three Words" and "Messy Little Raindrops."

Be careful what you tweet: the internet has a way of misinterpreting messages, no matter how clear you think they are.
Blake Shelton learned this the hard way last night, when the country star and coach on "The Voice" tweeted the following: "Re-writing my fav Shania Twain song.. Any man that tries Touching my behind He's gonna be a beaten, bleedin', heaving kind of guy."

It's the year of the 1970's remakes apparently, as there is not only a "Wonder Woman" pilot in the works, but ABC also has an updated version of "Charlie's Angels" looking to be picked up. Seriously, did these network executives just find the room with all the 1970's shows in it? Is that what's going on here?

In a recent episode of Glenn Beck's Fox News show, he tore into "Glee" and the band My Chemical Romance, calling the series "a horror show" and using a MCR song as an example of how "our whole culture ... is set up for you and the values you grew up on to lose."
Of course there were a few minor problems. As the band's lead singer Gerard Way mentioned on his blog recently, Beck got both the band's name and the lyrics wrong.

It was like a scene from a movie when Pittsburgh Steelers superstar and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Hines Ward was removed from a vehicle at gunpoint last night.
LAPD were following the Honda Civic that Ward was a passenger in around 2 a.m. this morning. After a check of the license plate showed that the vehicle had been reported stolen, officers pulled the driver over.

Mother's Day is coming up, so of course "Modern Family" is jumping on the opportunity for some family dynamic fun.
One of the storylines has Claire and Gloria hiking with their kids...with predictable results. The kids are miserable the whole time and whine until Claire finally loses it and leaves them behind. That prompts the Dunphy children to plot their revenge: no apologies.

What should you expect when Will Ferrell takes on the Osama Bin Laden news on Funny or Die? Gophers, a Sizzler buffet, and George W. Bush, for starters.
Ferrell's newest Funny or Die video features a return to his tried-and-true George W. Bush impression as he reacts to the death of Osama Bin Laden. Or, rather, he reacts to the death of Ardilla, the gopher that has terrorized his lawn.

There's no love lost of Casey's elimination apparently. No dramatic intro, no recap of beardface's exit...just Steven Tyler mocking Ryan Seacrest. Wait...was that Anthony Hopkins in the audience? I swear I just saw Anthony Hopkins.
The assignment for the week is for the Idols to sing two songs: a current one and one from the 1960's. So basically, half of the songs will be terrible and the other half will be great.

The "Paranormal Activity" franchise has already enjoyed a great deal of success, but if it hopes to continue to do so, it will need some help to keep things fresh, and keep things seeming real.
Enter Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The duo directed the documentary (or was it?) "Catfish," which became a surprising hit when it came out last year.
