And another one down, and another one down, another one bites the dust! Harshly put? Of course. But alas, harsh is how the American Idol game is played. Which brings season 9 down to its top 9 — and only 16 episodes left till we crown a successor to the man who scored a platinum single with “Liiiiive Like We’re Dying.” [SPOILERS AHEAD, west coast friends!] READ FULL STORY »

Stop the presses: Lindsay Lohan and George Lopez arguing on Twitter
Image Credit: Pixplanete/PR Photos; Albert L. Ortega/PR PhotosI still haven’t caught onto this whole Twitter thing. I have an account (KateWardEW), but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend checking it out. Especially since I’ve only posted ten times since August 2009, and my most recent tweet involved the fall season of So You Think You Can Dance. (I honestly can’t even remember who Channing is anymore.)
Yet I am endlessly entertained by Twitter fights. Pete vs. Perez. Demi vs. Kim. And now, George Lopez vs. Lindsay Lohan. And you know what? I don’t even care how this fight began in the first place. But since it is my responsibility to tell you, apparently, it had something to do with Lopez making a joke on his show about this photo of Lohan. “Thanks for the childish comment regarding baby powder in my shoes to loosen up the leather don’t you have kids?” Lohan tweeted. Lopez responded, “let’s take this off twitter .. Come on the show .. I’ve met you before and don’t have anything against you .”
The duo exchanged a couple more tweets, and yada yada yada, she’s reportedly poised to appear on his show. (UPDATE: A TBS rep tells EW: “We are talking to her and trying to work out a date in her schedule.”) And therefore, I’ll likely be tuning into George Lopez’s show for the first time. Will you? And what do you think the white powder is? I’ll go with coconut-flavored Pixie sticks.

Jay Leno tells Joy Behar: 'Conan got screwed. I got screwed.'
Turns out nobody is happy about last winter’s late-night TV shake-up — not even the winner. “Conan got screwed. I got screwed,” Jay Leno told Joy Behar in the green room of The Tonight Show before Tuesday’s taping. The whole backstage conversation was videotaped by Behar as part of a behind-the-scenes video blog she was doing for HLN. In a nutshell: Leno believes both he and Conan O’Brien were “treated terribly” by NBC last January, when the network sent O’Brien packing and restored Leno as host of The Tonight Show. “This is TV,” Leno philosophizes during his pre-show snuggle with Behar on the green room sofa. “The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you’ve got something left over.” (See clip embedded after the jump.)

Jimmy Kimmel aims at Starbucks with latest sketch
Okay, so, everytime I walk into a Starbucks, I get scared. That’s because New York City law demands that all chains broadcast the calorie counts of food offered in their venues. Who knew one little — okay, big — cookie was more than 400 calories?! Say what?
But now I might have another reason to be frightened — In late February, the Associated Press reported that some Starbucks store owners from open carry states do not ban handguns from their coffeehouses. Now, since New York has pretty strict gun laws, I’m pretty sure the only thing I have to worry about when it comes to Starbucks is obesity. But Jimmy Kimmel has put his spin on the issue with this hilarious re-imagination of what could happen if coffee drinkers — and baristas — suddenly became trigger happy. READ FULL STORY »

'Expendables' trailer: Best action movie character names ever?
Yes, we’ll be dusting off our “25 Manliest Movies Ever Made” gallery come August when Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables hits theaters. Watch the trailer — complete with Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mickey Rourke — and I guarantee, if you don’t already have a set, you’ll grow a pair. It begins with what I assume is a purposefully ’80s dramatic voiceover, letting us know that we can expect some classic action-Stallone dialogue and humor — and I say that with great affection as someone who applauded at the end of Rambo. Stallone’s mercenary, Barney Ross, leads a tight-knit team. I’ll let the Lionsgate summary introduce them to you:
• Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade
• Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat
• Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for 10 years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist
• Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group
• Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons READ FULL STORY »

'Glee,' 'Gossip Girl,' and 'Twilight' stars glam-up Walmart Op ads
Walmart revealed its new ads for the spring collection of its California-cool line, Op, and their campaigns are best described as Abercrombie and Fitch + celebrities – $$$ – the nudity. Judging by this year’s campaign stars, I’d say it’s quite the step up in star wattage from last year’s ad. Brody Jenner — enough said.
But this year’s lineup includes Glee‘s Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron along with Gossip Girl‘s Jessica Szohr and Twilight‘s Alex Meraz. To fulfill the 90210 quota held last year by AnnaLynne McCord is Trevor Donovan. Now that’s an ad campaign I can get behind!
But, is it just me, or are some of these shots a bit racy for the mass market chain? Hello, Maxim! Either way, thank you, photographer, for awkward gems like this.
What do you think of the star-studded ads? And who else wishes Donovan was holding them up on that surfboard?

'30 Rock': Who else should guest star?
Image Credit: Damon:Sylvain Gaboury/PR Photos; Banks: Bob Charlotte/PR PhotosWe’re excited about Ausiello’s exclusive scoop that Matt Damon will guest star on 30 Rock (as Astronaut Mike Dexter, if only in our dreams). It honestly seems like Tina Fey can get anyone she wants — Brian Williams! Bon Jovi! Serious actress Julianne Moore! — so who else would you love to see on the show? I’m thinking the 100 highest-paid actors in Hollywood should guest on the same episode in one of those produced-by-Jack Donaghy clip series of fake NBC shows. Sure, that would be totally manageable.
I can’t wait for Elizabeth Banks to return as Jack’s love interest — I need her to come back so she can guilt me into morning jogging. Yeah, right! And speaking of love-hate chemistry on 30 Rock…is anyone else still miffed that Lemon and Michael Sheen’s character, Wesley Snipes, couldn’t make it work? The first time I watched “Future Husband” I was half-asleep, but misinterpreted their apparently doomed coffee outing was the best first date ever instead of the worst. The whole time they sat there and dissed each other, I could have sworn both parties were really into it. I just watched the scene on Hulu again and stand by my preposterous claim, fully awake. Maybe I’m just too delighted by Lemon’s reaction to the term “bread back” to admit they were both cringing at every exchange. Ugh, fine, I just admitted it.

Style Hunter: Kate Beckett's red dress on 'Castle'
Hot on the heels of its third season renewal, there’s most definitely love in the air for ABC’s Castle. So to continue the good vibes, Style Hunter has the answer to the question so many of you have been asking: Where can you find Kate Beckett’s sultry red dress? No, not this red dress, but the one-shoulder number the actress wore while investigating the murder of a man who had just returned from vacation. Who says crime-fighting and fashion don’t go together?
Beckett wore a Michael Kors draped dress, which is available for pre-order now and delivery beginning April 22 ($1,295; neimanmarcus.com). But with only one size left, we’ve selected a few similar styles that can help you get your lady in red on. Try La Petite S*****’s three-quarter length dress ($960; yoox.com), Laila Azhar’s cascade dress ($395; barneys.com) or Tadashi Shoji’s ruched jersey dress ($288; bloomingdales.com).

Clip du jour: Ah-nold's greatest quotes
Back when “The Boy Is Mine” was topping music charts and zip drives were the way of the future, I discovered an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard on the Interwebs. As an obnoxious prank-calling teen, the soundboard — which looked something like this — entertained me longer than my Furby ever could. (Best crank calling line from Ah-nold? “Put that cookie down! Now!” slightly wins over “My nipples are very sensitive.”) But I found something even better today: The 160 Greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes, brought to us by the same folks who compiled the 100 Cheesiest Quotes of All Time. Now the hilarity is paired with video! And since the video is ten minutes long, we get Ah-nold’s obvious quotes (“It’s not a too-mer!”), along with some of his lesser-known lines (Like Conan the Barbarian‘s “Crom laughs at your four winds,” which sounds a lot more like, “Kram lass e the four wins.”) This is worth viewing, if only for the bulls–t montage. (Oh, and by the way, this is NSFW.) READ FULL STORY »
