I’m usually a big ‘ole Grinch about holidays (and normal days for that matter), but this year I find myself especially in the mood for carols, decorations and all things ”in the spirit.” And, as always, my TV is there to give me what I desire — even if what I seek ...

Last night’s episode of 90210 should’ve been called “Revelations” because pretty much everyone— except poor, naive Annie — finally saw what had been lurking all along: the truth…pertaining to their individual dramas, of course. You regular recapper, Jennifer, had ...

Week two of Amanda Woodward and the drama on Melrose has definitely ramped up big time. It’s not all to do with Amanda, but her bitchy presence on the show seems to have amped everyone else up to slightly be more sexy (Riley straddling Jonah!), more crazy (Violet with a baseball bat!), and more ...

John Mellencamp has not only spent most of his adult life R O C K-ing in the USA, but he has also spent most of it smoking, too. His 14-year-old son, Speck, is no great fan of his father’s ridiculously whimsical approach to progency nomenclature smelly, life-choking cigarette habit, but ...

Team Lost is keeping mum and staying dark about the contents of the show’s final season, set to premiere on February 2. The producers have even said they would rather not include any footage from the final slate of episodes in promos and advertising. Consequently, the show’s network ...

So, fun fact I thought I’d spill to all you Broadway nerds: Despite what you may have heard about A Steady Rain being totally sold out, you’ve still got one chance to see Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman do their thing together (no, not that thing!) on the Great White Way. The two added ...

In preparation for tonight’s second-to-last episode of this season of The Biggest Loser, I dug into my DVR and watched last Wednesday’s Thanksgiving special The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now? In some ways, the special had the smug and self-congratulatory feel of a televisual ...

Ah! Lauren Graham! I have missed you! This teaser for Parenthood makes me inordinately excited: Graham and the always excellent Mae Whitman? My teaser cup runneth over.

A funny thing happened when I went to see The Blind Side, aside from me not being as bothered by Sandra Bullock’s blond hair as I was when I saw All About Steve, that is — I didn’t cry. And I liked the movie more because of it.

The new poster for Iron Man 2 (launched on Yahoo Movies) prominently features War Machine, Iron Man’s partner-in-Armor. This has me incredibly excited. I love War Machine. Because of an accident of timing, I’ve always thought of War Machine as the original armored hero. Iron Man is ...
