Britney's back, and you can count Taylor Lautner as one of the people who's happy about it.

The "Twilight" star got a little off-topic during an interview with MTV and started talking about "Glee." Lautner seemed like he would be interested in being on the show, but what would he sing?

"Not that my fans would want to hear me sing a song,” said Lautner, “But if I had to choose it would be ‘Oops! I Did It Again.

Forget fanfiction, you can get a "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" cross-over in real life...with a wedding thrown in for good measure!

Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Caius in the "Twilight" series, and Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasly in the "Harry Potter" films, have announced their engagement. The two will also be appearing together in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" as Bower is set to play the young Grindelwald, though the two actors never shot any scenes together.

"Glee" used to take a lot of criticism for not performing original songs. I never minded the covers, but when I heard that "Glee" would be covering Rebecca Black's "Friday," I changed my tune.

Black's music video (which now has over 101 million views, mind you) took the internet by storm a few weeks back, and the world's eardrums will never be the same.

The much-anticipated sitcom "Happy Endings" finally premiered last night, and with one of the stronger lead-ins in television (the sublime "Modern Family"). So, how did it do? In general, reviews were very mixed. USA Today essentially called it a cheap rip-off of "Friends," while Entertainment Weekly said it was "not bad.

Who Said It? 'Kissing Robert Pattinson Was Disappointing, Disgusting' (New 'Water for Elephants' Clip)

Conflicting stories are making their way to the news from the set of "Water for Elephants." Costars Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon seem to recount their love scenes with major contradictions.

Witherspoon, who plays circus star Marlena in the upcoming film, tells In Touch magazine, "Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I've ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life.

Last weekend, a select group of New Yorkers were treated to a rare opportunity: to see an array of big-name stars perform in a one-weekend-only performance of the Broadway musical "Company." But after just a few days of shows, just as spontaneously as it arrived, it was gone.

Among the show's stars were Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother"), Jon Cryer ("Two and a Half Men"), Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men") and Stephen Colbert ("The Colbert Report").

Getting tired of "Mythbusters" reruns? Don't worry, the Discovery Channel has just announced some new shows and specials that will keep you entertained (and maybe teach you a few things, too!).

The "Planet Earth" team, which has already brought some incredible footage to Discovery, will have a new multi-part special titled "Frozen Planet." The show will be formatted much in the same way that "Planet Earth" was, but will focus entirely on the polar regions.

April 14, 2011 @ 10:30 am PST    Community, Lost, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands     Richard Sharp    

Fans of “Community” have grown to love the way the show shifts its style and visual aesthetic nearly every week – one week filming a George Romero-style zombie episode, moving to stop-motion animation another week for a Christmas episode, then moving to an ‘Office’-like episode using handheld cameras.

Well the genre-smashing experimentation is about to reach its apex in the climax of season two, as the series will venture into a new realm with a familiar subject matter in an action-packed grand finale this May.

It was just almost exactly a year ago to the day that production on the 23rd James Bond movie, currently referred to as "Bond 23," was postponed indefinitely. In this case, "indefinitely" meant "a year," because Sony and MGM have struck a deal to make "Bond 23" happen!

The two studios will co-finance the film, and production will move forward.

Episode 'Modern Family' Season 2, Episode 19 - 'The Musical Man' Recap
April 14, 2011 @ 7:11 am PST    Modern Family     Andy Neuenschwander    

When you hear that the episode "The Musical Man" will feature a storyline with Cam directing Manny and Luke's school play, you would assume that the majority of the episode's laughs would come from there. You'd be wrong, though: it was actually Phil's latest antics that stole the show last night.

But first, Cameron's story. He takes his general fussiness to the middle school stage as he takes over a musical production by the kids about cultures around the world.
