It's funny sometimes exactly how different Stephen Colbert the person and Stephen Colbert the character on "The Colbert Report" really are. Case in point, Stephen Colbert just worked an entire room onto his side at a recent charity auction in order to raise the selling price of his self-portrait.

His character on his show probably wouldn't be at a charity auction in the first place.

Kevin Smith is often a point of contention, as you either love him or you hate him. Lately, the film industry has been on the "hate" side of the argument after Smith duped them all at the Sundance Film Festival. Many claim that Smith lied when he said that he would put the rights to his new film "Red State" up for auction but immediately sold the movie to himself.

Well, Smith begs to differ.

On the same night she returned to "Glee," actress Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly signed with Atlantic Records for a $900,000 record deal. That's right, Gwenyth is about to be a full-fledged rock star!

Paltrow has really been making the rounds as a singer over the past few months, not only appearing on "Glee" and performing a few numbers, but also performing live at the Grammys, Country Music Awards, and Oscars.

We already know that "The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons can handle comedy: he has Emmy and Golden Globe awards for his role on the hit sitcom to prove it. But Parsons has some high drama in his sights as he heads to Broadway to appear in the Larry Kramer play "The Normal Heart."

The play is a semi-autobiographical piece written by Kramer about the HIV/AIDS crisis in New York City in the 1980's.

Gwyneth Paltrow made her highly-anticipated return to "Glee", and she brought the SEXY.

It was an episode that no doubt caught the attention of every conservative parents' association member and made kids rethink their naps during sex ed.  Last night's foray into "how to be sexy" was more for women in their mid-twenties than it was for teenagers, woudn't you agree?

While it's wonderful to embrace your sexuality and to love who you are, I'm not sure it's necessary to push people between the ages of 15 and 18 to be s-e-

Does it feel like Katy Perry is always on the cusp of the diva debates?

After Perry Tweeted her thoughts on the new Britney Spears vid for “Hold It Against Me”, Perry offered critique advice regarding the use of product placements.

Basically, Perry said she wasn’t against it, but you’ve got to be clever about it – implying that Britney’s plug for her perfume, a makeup brand, and online dating site were not in suitable artistic fashion.

I'm a firm believer that "Scrubs" was one of the most perfect sitcoms that have graced our airwaves.

Not only was it hilarious and consistently inventive (it was one of the first to use the single-camera format that has now become the standard), it stayed true to sitcom conventions of wrapping your story up in one episode but still left little threads danglin' for an ongoing arc.

This episode marks the second week in a row that the show has mocked its creators'…shall we say "less respected" work. Here's "Catch Me if You Kangaroo Jack."

Sure, why not start off with the Governator dancing? You can make Ahnold sing the words to any late 80's or early 90's song and it will be hilarious.   The next sketch gives us a little insight into how Pa Kent disciplines the un-spankable Superboy.

As Peter once said, "That's right, folks. It's gonna be a Meg episode." This week's ep revisited the "Meg has a crush" theme that we saw when she became infatuated with Brian, only this time she has the hots for Joe. If an entire episode devoted to Joe and Meg sounds weird…you're right. It is.

The two lack the wacky energy that usually carries this show, so "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair" ends up being a bit slow as a result.

HBO has developed some incredible programming recently across all genres and styles, including the vampire-laden "True Blood" and the Prohibition-era drama "Boardwalk Empire."

But you know what HBO needs more of? Magicians fighting Nazis.

Authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman (who happen to be married) are developing just such a show for HBO, entitled "Hobgoblin.
