February 25, 2011 @ 5:45 am PST    30 Rock, Kick-Ass, Let Me In, The Sopranos     Andy Neuenschwander    

Jenna has "made the internet" on a feminist blog called "Joan of Snark" (the joke per second rate on this show is ridiculous sometimes), but the news isn't good: the article asks "why does TGS hate women?" After a couple of examples ("oh no, my period!"), Liz makes the realization that women should be better represented in the media. Cue another period joke.

Throughout the past 82 years of the Oscars, the Academy has presented 83 Best Actress awards to 69 different actresses. The extra Oscar was a result of the only tie, which was between Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand in 1969.

With two days to go until the 84th Best Actress award is dished out (unless there is another tie, of course), let’s take a closer look at past winners and current nominees.

Episode Grey's Anatomy Season 7, Episode 16 - 'Not Responsible' Recap
February 25, 2011 @ 5:42 am PST    Grey's Anatomy     Kelly Lynch    

Emotions were running rampant on last night's "Grey's Anatomy."

Special guest-star (according to me) Nancy Travis played Allison, a patient in Derek's Alzheimer's trial.  And may I say, I haven't been this excited since I purchased the double-disk feature of "Three Men And A Baby"/"Three Men And A Little Lady."

Meredith, Arizona and April located a cyst on Allison's son's throat after his parents mentioned it.

Episode 'Community' Season 2, Episode 17 - 'Intro to Political Science' Recap
February 25, 2011 @ 5:25 am PST    Community     Andy Neuenschwander    

Pierce just got back from rehab, so it looks like things are back to normal. With no drama, it looks like the gang will actually have to STUDY. Awkward.

Nope, distraction! The Dean comes in to inform everyone that Joe Biden will be visiting the campus, which leads to a discussion about electing student body president…and surprise, Annie wants to run. A quick gag about making notches in the table, and we're off.

February 24, 2011 @ 3:31 pm PST    Ugly Betty, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Herbie: Fully Loaded     Tina Musial    

Lindsay Lohan’s plea deal rejection might not have been the smartest move on her part, according to sources who claim to have seen the surveillance tape released yesterday.

Lohan’s lawyer had not seen the footage of Lohan actually working it in the store yesterday and was willing to work with Lohan to get her off the crime.

Now that the tape has been viewed, some are whispering that Lohan could be in bigger trouble than what was initially thought.

Yidio Site of the Day: Cats Who Look Like Ron Swanson
February 24, 2011 @ 1:29 pm PST    Parks & Recreation     Allie Basilica    

First there was Ron Swanson's Pyramid of Greatness, and now this: Cats Who Look Like Ron Swanson. It’s the coolest thing we’ve seen since Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber.

Ron Swanson plays the Director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department and the boss of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) on the NBC comedy hit “Parks & Recreation.”

Part moustachioed managerial master, part towering hunk of mega-masculinity, Swanson has had two ex-wives and a mother, all of whom are named Tammy.

Jennifer Lopez Breaks Down on 'American Idol'
February 24, 2011 @ 11:50 am PST    American Idol     Allie Basilica    

Season 10 of American Idol has been a tearful one. We've seen tears of joy, tears of frustration and the tears of rejection.

On last night's Vegas elimination round the bulk of the tears came from new judge Jennifer Lopez.

After Idol hopeful Chris Medina walked the "Green Mile" to the hot seat he was face-to-face with an emotional Lopez.

Lopez let the singer down easy, offering words of support and encouragement, and telling him to keep singing because there are bigger things in his life than this competition.

Katie Couric Weighs Options at CBS: Go or Stay For Less Money
February 24, 2011 @ 11:10 am PST    CBS Evening News     Tina Musial    

Katie Couric has been behind some type of news desk in front of America since 1984.

For 27 years, people have watched Couric deliver the news either in the early morning hours or in the evening, while dinner is on, but that may all be about to change.

Couric’s contract with CBS is up soon and she has begun negotiating a new deal. Rumor has it the new deal would be worth considerably less money than what she is making now, because her profile did not leap CBS in the news standings compared to the other networks.
