"Glee" star Matthew Morrison is the definition of a triple-threat: the man can sing, act, and dance circles around most people. He's a TV star, a Broadway star, and has even written his own songs and produced a solo album. What could possibly be left for the guy to do on the creative front?

How about directing?

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at PaleyFest, Morrison revealed that he hopes to direct an episode of "Glee" in the third season, effectively making him a quadruple-threat.

When Matthew Fox was finishing up the final season of "Lost," he claimed that he was going to quit television.

"I'm disillusioned with the drift towards gratuitous entertainment, which so much of Hollywood is now," Fox told Live magazine.

You ever wonder if Bruno Mars would catch a “Grenade” for the “Jersey Shore” boys?

In Thursday’s episode, the tanned and toned men of the MTV hit show would have gladly taken the back up.

It wasn’t just a night of encountering grenades. According to Pauly D, an “atomic bomb” was about to go off.

A “grenade,” as we know, is what the housemates call a solitary unattractive girl, who is usually with a group of hotties.

Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery – and Lady Gaga, with her share of impersonators, must feel great.

In today's Yidio Video of the Day, she shows us how she returns the love.

On Saturday, following her concert at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Gaga suprised the audience on stage at a Kentucky gay bar. While a drag queen at the Connection started a Lady Gaga number to 'Born This Way,' the real Gaga popped up on stage to join in.

Fox Searchlight Looks to Develop Russ Meyer Biopic with David O. Russell

As a big fan of "Three Kings" and "I Heart Huckabees," it's great to see David O. Russell getting all this attention all of a sudden.

And better still, he really deserves it - "The Fighter," while still the most mainstream of his films, still has the same eccentricicities as his earlier work and is just a well-made movie all around.

He's still on tap for the "Uncharted" adaptation next, but after that? Fox Searchlight wants to get a long-discussed Russ Meyer biopic to screens, and believes Russell is the man for the jo

Episode '30 Rock' Season 5, Episode 17 - 'Queen of Jordan' Recap
March 18, 2011 @ 5:56 am PST    30 Rock     Andy Neuenschwander    

Do not adjust your TV set. That's still "30 Rock" you're watching. To be honest, when the intro to this week's episode was all "Queen of Jordan" from start to finish, my only thought was "Oh god, I hope they're not planning on doing this for the entire episode."

But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It's tough to give your audience an entirely new style for an episode (not to mention introduce new characters from out of nowhere) and get away with it, but if anyone can do it, it's Tina Fey.

At Serendipity you can get Frozen Hot Chocolate, Opulent Sundaes, Celestial Carrot Cake and apparently, Penis Gummies.

So you can imagine the fuss when Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise hit the famous dessert shop and the almost four-year old was photographed with a box of the adult candies in hand.

It looks like she picked them up as they were leaving, and odds are she had no clue what she was holding.
