"If you don't like what's being said, change the conversation."

As we reported back in January, after a stellar awards season for "Mad Men," the series' creator Matthew Weiner returned to the negotiation table with AMC and Lionsgate TV, hoping to bring about a new season of the highly rated show under more favorable terms.

At the time, he told Entertainment Weekly "I have every intention of making the show when they decide to work out their business with Lionsgate.

While the actual winner of the Best Director Oscar this year, Tom Hooper, can't seem to get his next project off the ground, the other contenders just keep plugging away. David Fincher, especially, shows no signs of slowing down. He has "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" out later this year, and is expected to return for its sequels. Now Deadline is reporting that producer Scott Rudin, who was the one who came up with the idea of Fincher directing "The Social Network" and is now producing "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," wants Finc

Reese Witherspoon celebrates her 35th birthday today!

From her gorgeous smile to the support she gives to breast cancer research, to getting to kanoodle on-screen with RPattz, Witherspoon is a Yidio favorite. She is currently out promoting her forthcoming film "Water for Elephants," which hits theaters April 22nd.

In honor of her big day, we are listing 35 things we love about the Hollywood star.

The Twitter flirting and on-air Skyping is over for former Playboy playmate Holly Madison and musician Jack Barakat. After dating for 10 months, E!Online reports the two have called it off.

"I can confirm Holly and Jack are no longer dating," a representative for Madison told E!Online. "Their decision to split was both mutual and amicable."

Cupid was flying his arrows across the twittersphere when the two first hooked up.

One of the big questions in TV for this summer is this: will "The Voice" work? NBC's vocal competition show seems intent on taking some of the spotlight away from "American Idol," but obviously it has a long way to go to catch one of the biggest shows on TV.

NBC just released a video promo for "The Voice," the first commercial we've seen for the program with all of the judges.

Animation ain't just for kids any more. Cartoon Network's Adult Swim picked up where "The Simpsons" left off, bring cartoons to an adult audience and making them increasingly more absurd, and increasingly more hilarious.

The simple fact is that you can accomplish more with animation: you can create any images you want, and in comedy you can time your physical comedy to perfection.

After seven hilarious seasons, Steve Carell is leaving NBC's flagship Thursday night comedy, "The Office." So, how do you make up for losing a comedy legend? How about putting two more in his place?

The seventh season finale of "The Office" will feature appearances from Ricky Gervais and Will Arnett in an obvious attempt to placate us when we're crying over the departure of Michael Scott.

This week's episode opens with a bang. Why? Two words: Barney's dad.

Guest star John Lithgow is here to play Barney's long-lost father. So, after 30 years of radio silence, is Barney upset about his dad being gone? Heck no! Barney's dad is "Legendaddy," he's officially the coolest dad ever.   Or is he? While Barney told the gang that his dad manages tours and is a total ladies' man, it turns out that he's actually a kind of dorky driving instructor from White Plains.

Summer is approaching, one spring month is already gone, and the weather is (very slowly) getting warmer. All of this can mean only one thing: your favorite shows will soon be gone until the fall.

NBC has swept some of the impending TV withdrawal anxiety away by announcing their summer lineup. While fans of scripted TV won't be too thrilled, reality TV fans (especially those who enjoy musical talent shows) should be happy to see what NBC has in store.

One thing you learn by sitting in a room full of "True Blood" fans (aka FangBangers), all foaming at the mouth for more information about their Sooki, Bill, Eri and Sam is that these people really do not like "Twilight." I mean, really, really don't like "Twilight." We checked in at C2E2 in Chicago this weekend to learn more about the upcoming season of "True Blood" from the cast, including Sam Trammell (Sam), Kristin Bauer (Pam) and Brit Morgan (Debbie).
