Parents are always afraid that their kids will emulate the sex and violence that they see on TV. Right now, kids in the UK seem to be emulating "Glee" and "90210," but hotel chains aren't complaining.

The UK branch of Holiday Inn has reported a 500% increase in hotel bookings at the end of the school year. Why the huge jump? The hotel chain attributes it to a surge in American-style high school proms, made popular by US TV shows like "90210" and "Glee.

You might think it’s Julianne Hough’s dance moves that have her trending through the roof on Google these days. The two-time “Dancing With the Stars” has won seasons alongside racecar driver Helio Castroneves and speed skater Apolo Ohno.

Or maybe for her country music career. Her self-titled album debuted at #1 on the Top Country Albums a few years ago, and the singer just released a video “Is That So Wrong,” which was banned by CMT for…well…sexy reasons.

It's hard to go from blurting out "F*** you!" to forgiving and forgetting, but "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy has done just that.

A while back, Murphy began a major feud with rock band Kings of Leon when he yelled "F*** you Kings of Leon!" during a press event in response to KoL not allowing "Glee" to use their hit song "Use Somebody." The band responded by telling Murphy to "buy a new bra," which Murphy saw as a homophobic comment.

I've never really understood this business that anything we've seen of "Green Lantern" thus far is at all problematic. I was - and (funds willing) still would be - a huge comic book consumer, and I remain a fan of the characters intellectually. Green Lantern should have a fair dose of levity, akin to the tone of the "Iron Man" films. It should be funny; not a comedy as such, but there have to be laughs in there.

Here at Yidio, we recently had a discussion over which "Jersey Shore" stars had some sort of actual, discernable talent. Pauly D can DJ, Vinny can (technically) act, but Snooki was up for debate. Sure, she has had a book on the N.Y. Times best-seller list, but a ghostwriter was heavily involved in making that happen. Besides,"has hair poof and orange glowing tan" does not count as an actual talent.

Lady Gaga will jumpstart the "Good Morning America" summer concert series on May 27.

As TV Guide notes, Gaga is a friend of the ABC morning show, having gone on air with Robin Roberts while wearing a “condom-inspired” style to promote safe sex in February.

In other Gaga news, MTV reports that singer hinted that “someone legendary” is working on the last song, a piano ballad title “You and I” for her album “Born This Way.

Cry her a river...

Less than a month after announcing his split from actress Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake is cuddling up to "Tron: Legacy" actress Olivia Wilde.

People magazine is reporting that Timberlake and his "Now" co-star Wilde were spotted at the Roxbury in Hollywood Saturday night.

Both actors are newly single but reports as far back as January claim the two have been hot and heavy for some time.

Wondercon, San Francisco's attempt to get their own ComiCon, wrapped up yesterday after its three-day weekend, and somehow amidst the opportunity to pay to see advertisements, fans were also treated to the occasional interesting insight. Or at least a common complaint expressed by someone in the industry.

At a panel to promote his new film "Hanna," about a teenage girl trained to be an assassin, director Joe Wright took a second to call out the false feminism promoted by the 21st century media machine.

Less than five years after making history, Katie Couric will make the "CBS Evening News" history.

Almost five years ago today, Katie Couric announced that she would take the helm as anchor and managing editor on the network evening newscast, becoming the first woman to hold such a position.

Couric settled nicely into the role as anchor, one many thought she would hold onto for years to come.

Thanks to Jane Lynch, Jason Segel can tell his fellow “How I Met Your Mother” stars that he knows what it feels like to get slushied.

As Lynch worked the crowd and campaigned for iCarly at Nikelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, she didn’t leave her "Glee" character far behind.

Holding a cup, reminiscent of a Big Gulp, Lynch doused Segel.
