Entertainment Tonight took their cameras onto the closed set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon for fresh interviews with Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart. Basically, we get confirmation that Edward (Pattinson) will be in the film more than you’d expect having read the book, and that Lautner (Jacob) has, in fact, put on 30 pounds of muscle. Even if you’re not a Twilight fan, you’ll want to hear Mary Hart say "Woof!" (The woman is not wrong. Okay, kinda wrong. Lautner’s only 17.) Check out the two clips after the jump.

'Bones' recap: Seeley in a suit is worth it, Brennan
As much as we all like Booth’s playful side (when it’s written well), I still love serious Seeley most. Loyal, respectful, protective, intense, and afraid of getting his new shoes wet. Yes, please. Some thoughts on last night’s episode, which kept Bones on a roll:
• That corpse — or rather, decapitated head — was the most disturbing image we’ve ever seen on the show. It wasn’t so much that it looked gross, though it did, especially when Cam took her sweet-ass time SAWING INTO IT. It was the idea that the young woman’s brother, a member of the Tokyo police Booth had befriended when he traveled to Japan for an exchange program, had to look at it repeatedly. Having the decomposed flesh still on the skull made it more painful, right? It was still her, not "remains." You couldn’t stop thinking what was done to her. I tried to imagine if it were my sister, and I got sick to my stomach.
• I actually missed not having an intern. Brennan talked about finally making a decision on a permanent replacement for Zack, but then this episode didn’t have one in it. I guess the lab would’ve been too crowded, what with the allegedly androgynous Dr. Tanaka, who accompanied Booth’s friend Ken Nakamura (a.k.a. Nake with the Sake), assisting in the investigation. Dr. Tanaka, who was played by an actress named Ally Maki, didn’t look androgynous at all, which made Cam, Angela, Hodgins, and Sweets look ridiculous for even debating his (really?) gender. Though, I will admit that Cam and Sweets celebrating their victories after Angela announced that "it moved" when she hugged Tanaka goodbye was enjoyable.
• The final Booth and Brennan scene was sort of a letdown. I like that they keep ending up at his place, which shows how comfortably she fits into his life, but that dialogue lacked the emotional impact we’ve come to expect. I think the writers put their best stuff into those scenes between Brennan and Ken…

Beyonce on Larry King: Says Rihanna is 'doing a lot better,' talks Obamas, Sasha Fierce
Apparently Larry King thinks Jay-Z is "a terrific performer." Who knew? This was only one of many fascinating things we learned last night when Beyonce went on Larry King Live to promote Obsessed. Gramps got her to share her thoughts on Rihanna (Beyonce said the younger singer is "doing a lot better," but asked that her privacy be respected), Michelle Obama ("She’s so chic"), and, er, the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra’s version of "At Last" ("Believe it or not, I’ve never heard it"). King also asked her whether Beyonce or Sasha Fierce was the one singing "At Last" to the First Couple at the inaugural ball, betraying his utter failure to grasp the basics of the Beyonce/Sasha Fierce dichotomy. Come on, Larry, are you even trying to understand Beyonce’s role-playing concepts?! B handled his hard-hitting interviewing style with style and grace, though, and bravo to her for that.
Check out a short clip of Beyonce’s Larry King Live appearance below, or read the whole transcript at CNN.com. Did you tune in last night? How did you think Beyonce did?

'Hell's Kitchen' recap: Yes man
Anyone who has watched Hell’s Kitchen on a semi-regular basis has surely noticed Ramsay’s habit of saying “yes?” after pretty much everything. Obviously he doesn’t intend for his “question” to be answered, but the variety of sentences Ramsay tacks his rhetorical inquiry onto is rather diverse. It ranges from things like “well done, yes?” to “f— off, yes?” — and I find it oddly mesmerizing. Last night, I decided to take a stab at tallying up the “yeses,” and the final number came to nine, I think. After so many weeks of writing this recap, I felt this recurring theme needed to be addressed. So there you have it. Now onto what you actually came here for…

Clip du Jour: 'L.A. Law' and the power of the saxophone
Best TV show of the late ’80s? Best show ever? I leave that to the jury. But if there’s one thing this two-decade-old clip reminds us of, it’s that TV intros used to be brilliant, brief works of art, mini narratives that got the audience up to speed each week on the program’s dramatic backstory (in an exhaustive minute and a half — take that, Lost!). Sidebar: Oh my God, let’s not forget the sax! Listen, Venus Butterfly adherents…and love.

Jeff Probst blogs 'Survivor: Tocantins' (episode 10)
Hey all,
How good was that episode?! On a scale of 1-10, I’d love yourfeedback. I honestly think it’s one of the best Survivor episodesever, for the following reasons:
1. LOVED IT: The opening shot of Coach standing in the water doing hisvarious poses — not because it’s Coach but because if you really goback and look at the shot it’s absolutely amazing. Our helicopter teamis so good. That shot is really beautiful as it spins around him andthen pulls away. It’s movie good. Bet you didn’t even notice it – itwas that good. Go back and check.
2. HATED IT: Okay, I’ve had just about enough of Sierra having toplead for her life with everybody else. Coach, Tyson, Debbie –everybody lecturing her. The ”older folk” are working the young girlover and now Sierra is my new favorite underdog.
Sierra, tell them to shut it. It’s easy to do. Just say, ”Shut it.”

Susan Boyle revealed as big, lying boy-kisser: Share your feelings of betrayal here!
I’ve remained pretty aggressively on the sidelines of this whole Susan Boyle phenomenon, but when I learned courtesy of Extra! reporter (and former Simon Cowell spit-sharer) Terri Seymour that Ms. Boyle was just employing her "wicked sense of humor" when she said she’s never been kissed, I was shocked. SHOCKED.
Do you mean to tell me, Susan Boyle (if that is your real name) that not only did you appear on British television and, through a once-in-a-lifetime combination of luck, moxie, and a smattering of above-average vocal talent, force that proud country (nay, the world) to violently alter its belief system w/r/t judging people based solely on appearance, but now you have the audacity to reveal that you are not in fact the virginal spinster you (and the producers of the British television programme) claimed you were, and that you have indeed pressed your lips to those of another? Dear God, woman. Have you no shame?
Think of the children: We’d just now gotten them used to the idea that it was okay to be themselves; that money and beauty aren’t more important than self-respect and determination; that what matters in life is not the desperate quest for power and sex but rather the quiet appreciation of small gifts and blessings; that if you’ve never been kissed it doesn’t mean you’re unworthy of love. And now we have to tell them that you’re basically no better than those hussies on Gossip Girl? How dare you.
And if you lied about that, what else aren’t you telling us? You had a record deal with Def Jam but they dropped you? You’re Piers Morgan’s ex-nanny’s third cousin twice removed? You’re not actually British??? Oh, Susan Boyle. I just don’t know what to believe anymore. PopWatchers, help me. I am adrift. And tonight, I fear the tigers are coming, and their voices won’t be soft as thunder anymore.

Save 'Chuck' campaign: Is it worth it?
It’s that time of year again, when desperate fans start taking desperate measures to save their favorite shows. (See: peanuts, lots of.) Supporters of NBC’s criminally underwatched not-quite-a-spy series Chuck have started a Facebook campaign declaring their intentions to buy Subway sandwiches on Monday — the hoagie franchise has a placement deal with the show — giving creator Josh Schwartz hope for a third season.
Me? I like Chuck. I’m happy to grab a Cold Cut Combo next week if it helps the cause. Not sure it has a shot in hell at renewal, but I encourage everyone out there in PopWatch land to give the show one more shot before you write it off for dead. I know what you’re thinking: Ugh, NO. It’s just another will-they-or-won’t-they plotline that’s gonna drag out forever, and we get enough of that on Bones. Hey! Look! At the below video! THEY HOOKED UP ALREADY! (And to a Bon Iver song, no less!) It’s safe for the excessive-shipping-averse to return. And in all seriousness, the last few eps have been pretty rock solid.
But what do you think, PopWatchers? Can/should this show be saved? And what footlong will you get to show your love?

A Jade Goody musical? Apparently, it's never too soon
According to a BBC story published today, late reality-show star Jade Goody — who found infamy on Britain’s Big Brother before succumbing to cervical cancer on March 22 at the age of 27 — will get the musical-theater treatment in an upcoming stage production. Because nothing says "gimme jazz hands!" like the horribly painful premature death of a dental nurse turned polarizing tabloid fixture.
Goody’s former business partner Danny Hayward announced that though no deal had yet been struckwith a TV network, he hopes to turn the auditions for the lead role into — surprise! — its own reality show. As for the songs, he says, some original numbers will be written by "well known bands, who wish to remain anonymous."
Was Goody aware of the project before her death? No, but Hayward claims, "If the show continues to raise awareness about cervical cancer, bea good night out, and further her legacy, then it’s not really hurtinganyone…. She was tabloid gold. The people have the right to choose their hero."
What do you think, readers? Given Goody’s massive popularity in the U.K. toward the end of her life, is a biopic treatment inevitable?Is it worthwhile if it helps to financially support the two young boysshe left behind? Or is this just a case of creepy opportunivores exploitingher sad legacy?
