Yesterday we learned that the "Jersey Shore" cast had finally decided on a contract that they can all agree with, and everybody's going to Italy as planned. And "Shore" fans everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.
One mystery still remained, though: how much were the "Jersey Shore" stars making? After all, it's a tradition of show business that we all get to ooh and aah over how much the stars make.
We’re back and so is Isobel, sporting excellent bangs of evil! Unsurprisingly, having your estranged vampire birth mother show up unannounced on the front porch is awkward. Elena orders Aunt Jenna not to invite her in. FINALLY. For a town full to the brim with supernatural beings, the citizens of Mystic Falls are downright Canadian about home security.
Isobel manages to let two cats out of the bag before she vamps off: she and Elena had already met and she is Alaric’s supposedly dead wife.
After parents complained about her sharing more than the ABC’s, Katy Perry’s revealing appearance was pulled from “Sesame Street.” Her cleavage-centric costume was just too enlightening for the young audience.
Which is why it’s a good thing the show’s spin-off on the sexy vampires of “True Blood” was presented in a puppet-only format.
He may be banned from the Golden Globes, but comedian Ricky Gervais is still well-loved by HBO.
"The Ricky Gervais Show," an experimental animated affair created by Gervais and his producer-pal Stephen Merchant, has been renewed by HBO for a third season.
For those who haven't seen the show, here's the skinny: Gervais has had a very popular podcast for a number of years now (since 2005, in fact.
It's looks like former "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl will be returning to the small screen...but not to "Grey's." Instead, Heigl will be returning to TV to star in the HBO movie "The Knitting Circle," which she is also producing.
The telefilm is based off the best-selling book of the same title, written by Ann Hood. In the movie, Heigl will play the lead role of a woman who joins a knitting circle to help her cope with the death of her young daughter.
The surprising elimination of Pia Toscano, who appeared to be the total "American Idol" package from day one, is supporting talk that woman can no longer win the show.
It’s true that the last three winners have been men and of the past three seasons, Crystal Bowersox is the only woman to wail her way into the final two.
Is it a matter of judges being too mild on the men, or an issue of hoards of young girls texting for their Idol crush? Voting is a clear (duh) factor as to why someone stays on the show, which makes us wonder if the gender issue is si
If you ever got the “Wile E. Coyote” feeling from Sue Sylvester, according to TV Squad, you may be on to something.
“It wouldn't be surprising if Ryan Murphy and co. actually did an episode with an animated Sue Sylvester,” they say.
Which makes us wonder if some of our favorite showstoppers are becoming exactly that: forces that could stop the show.
One of the great pleasures of the last five years has been seeing the world slowly come around on Ben Affleck. "Hollywoodland" reminded everyone that the dude can act, "Gone Baby Gone" showed his surprising directing chops, and "The Town" proved he can do it all at the same time while leading the charge to remind studios that adults like going to the movies, too.
This one's good for a quick laugh: Collegehumor has a mash-up of remixed trailers that asks the question, "What if movie trailers ruined endings?"
I probably would have been pretty upset if I before I had seen "The Empire Strikes Back," somebody had showed me a trailer that tells me that Vader is Luke's father. Even worse, what if someone gave away the ending to "Fight Club?"
A word of warning: though this is a comedy video, it will still spoil the endings to the following movies: "The Empire Strikes Back," "Fight
Italians have made it clear: not everyone is happy to receive America’s favorite Seaside family.
On the bright side, the “Jersey Shore” invasion should bring Italian merchants extra income. Inevitably, their arrival will provide new tourism twists and spending opportunities from the Gucci-slinging housemates – especially since the contracts have now been signed with a big financial bump for those who were holding out.
