Image Credit: Rolling BlackoutsWhen just five contestants remain in any reality competition that you care about remotely, every single elimination stings. Well, mostly — and yes, I’m gazing in your direction, Tatianna. But last night’s elimination on RuPaul’s Drag Race stung more than just a usual top-five send-off. You see, my favorite constant on the show — that’d be Ms. Pandora Boxx — was forced to “sashay away,” after the judges and RuPaul agreed that her “drag mother” had out-shined the sweet, hilarious Pandora. And at the same time, a lesser contestant — yes, we’re back to you, Ms. Tatianna — was allowed to remain on the show. I’m in no position to tell the judges when they’ve made a mistake, but doesn’t that go without saying in this case? Yup. READ FULL STORY »

'Gossip Girl' recap: Jenny and Agnes part deux
Image Credit: Giovanni Rufino/The CWIt was a night of returns on Gossip Girl with Eleanor, Agnes, and that rando hooker girl from last fall (I seriously have zero memory of her — maybe Agnes drugged me too?) all back. But the most important return was some actually decent intrigue! Lordy, the last couple episodes had been dullsville but this one was at least slightly more exciting and that has everything to do with my favorite model/drug dealer/bowler-hat aficionado Agnes.

'24' recap: Ethan's heart just wasn't in it!
Image Credit: Kelsey McNeal/Fox Before I address tonight’s exhilarating episode, attention must be paid to Friday’s news about the show’s series finale on May 24. The announcement wasn’t necessarily a surprise, but it was bittersweet nonetheless; it’s always sad when an old friend leaves our living room for good, and it could be a long time before we see another terrific anti-hero like Jack (or The Shield’s Vic Mackey!) on our small screen.
I had the opportunity to chat with Kiefer Sutherland about the news, and while he seemed bummed about saying goodbye to the cast and crew that he’s spent the last eight years with, he also tacitly acknowledged that the show was starting to show its age. “The writers are writing the equivalent of 12 films a year, which is unheard of, and we agreed very strongly that doing a ninth would be potentially damaging,” he said. “To use the metaphor of a building, (head writer) Howard Gordon is our basement, our foundation. So you have to kind of go with that” (for more of the interview, click here). Anyway, this will give Sutherland and Gordon a chance to focus on the feature film, so at least we have that to anticipate (and to cast!). Until then, let’s go to the tape… READ FULL STORY »
'Dancing With the Stars': Who goes home?
Let’s decide before the show even starts! J.K., DANCMSTRs. Here’s a place to discuss how the 11 couples did in either the foxtrot or the jive during tonight’s two-hour liiiiiive show. Up for debate: How much Kate Gosselin is cringing throughout, to which exotic location Pamela Anderson has mind-traveled on this her latest trip, and whether the “Celebriquarium” holding case is as awkward this week as it was last Monday. And how about that fringe? That is some CRAZY fringe. See you tomorrow bright and early for my full TV Watch recap.

Jennifer Aniston wears salmon. At least she can swim upstream to avoid fashion critics' wrath.
Image Credit: Christophe Morin/Maxppp/LandovSo Jennifer Aniston showed up to the Paris premiere of The Bounty Hunter wearing this. One thing to note off the bat: salmon is not the best color to wear when you’re trying to evade the clutches of your ex-hubby-turned-bounty hunter. But critics’ take-downs of the Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress? Super-harsh! A writer at Stylist.com even calls it a prom dress “gone bad.” Now, I’m no style expert, but I say it’s a shower curtain gone fab!
Really, could any of you do better with some safety pins and a shower curtain? (Holy Tim Gunn, I couldn’t!) Or do you prefer your Jen Aniston demure?
Akon's new fragrance, Konvict: does it smell like the clink?
Most celebrity fragrances try to evoke images of springtime, fairies, and maybe a little bit of spice — but not the penal system.
That’s exactly what Akon’s new fragrances for men and women — called Konvict — remind me of. But can you blame me? They’re bottled in two separate handcuffs that link together by a chain, each one containing 1.7 ounces of eau du prison yard parfum. Way to keep the theme going with the cuffs, Akon! Does the purchase come complete with your own orange jumpsuit?
Konvict (tagline: “Break free and live the dream”) is currently available online, for a special price of $41.95. What’s cool is that, according to the website, 10 percent of each purchase will go to Akon’s Konfidence Foundation, which is “dedicated to increasing public awareness of the conditions in Africa.” Plus, the fragrances sound like they would smell decent — Konvict Femme has lemon, mandarin and vanilla and almond musk notes, while Konvict Homme features bergamot, lemon, and a touch of sandal and cedar wood.

What a fun, sexy time for Tony Hale!
Arrested Development‘s Baby Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) guest-starred as Pottery Teacher in the March 18 Community, and tonight he’s on Law & Order (NBC, 10 p.m. ET) playing an estranged father whose ex-wife flees to Brazil with his kid. “They took my daughter!” Tony Hale is yelling in the pictured moment from the episode preview, even though it would make more sense if he were beating on Buster’s Native American drum set for extra emphasis, possibly until his hand fell off. Kate Ward and I are having trouble conceiving of “Serious Buster,” even though we know that Tony Hale is a very capable actor and that his character, “Philip Shoemaker” (subtle nod to Buster Brown?) is really going to be Serious Tony Hale. Just give us a few hours. We’re gonna run this through our brains again on Pots and Pans.

Demi Lovato to appear on 'Grey's Anatomy'; uses excessive punctuation
Image Credit: Bob Charlotte/PR PhotosOh, Demi Lovato. Looks like the Disney youngin’ is having a moment. She’s appeared on American Idol, is dating and loving Joe Jonas, and now, will shoot a guest spot on Grey’s Anatomy. As she tweeted earlier today: “I’m so thrilled to announce that this week I’m shooting Grey’s Anatomy!!!!!!!! 
AHHH!!!!” It’s such big news, that Demi used not one, not 11, but 12 exclamation points!
Apparently, Demi will be playing a girl who may be suffering from schizophrenia in a May episode. (Sniff. They grow up so fast.) I’m into the casting, just as long as it doesn’t involve a deer and shock paddles.
What about you, PopWatchers? Will you tune in to watch Demi Lovato on Grey’s? And are you jealous that she’s experiencing “a week of fulfilling one of my biggest dreams……. YAYYYYY!!!!!” when the biggest dream you fulfilled this week was finding the butter toffee peanuts you had been looking all over NYC for (insert: sad emoticon)? Maybe that’s just me.
'Tori and Dean': A quick preview of the new season!
Image Credit: Albert Ferreira/StartraksWhere my Tori & Dean fans at? That’s right — I know you’re out there! Be proud. I’m rallying the T&D troops because I recently chatted with the celeb couple themselves about the upcoming season of their show. Which, in case you didn’t know, launches one week from today on April 5. On Oxygen, of course! The first episode launches with T&D heading out on a road trip with both babies — Liam, 3, and Stella, 21 months — and “the guncles,” Tori’s gay-couple pals. (The photo above was taken in their RV.) Here’s what the lovely couple had to say about the road trip premiere — and a variety of subjects: READ FULL STORY »
'So You Think You Can Dance' bringing back all-star dancers as partners! Yes! Mostly!
Image Credit: FoxTalk about putting the spring back in your step. All last week, So You Think You Can Dance exec producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe teased out some bold changes for the Fox show’s seventh season via Twitter: Only one contestant goes home per week! The dancing partners change every week! There will be no Top 20! Less than four dancers compete in the finale!
Today, Nigel and Fox finally announced the reason for all these big-time changes: Instead of dancing with each other, the season’s top 10 contestants will dance with a rotating, as-yet-unannounced all-star roster of SYTYCD alumni. Boom.
What does this mean? Well, in the YAY! column, it gives the show a desperately needed booster shot of new energy precisely when it was beginning to look and feel kinda tired and creaky. Long-time SYTYCD fans can delight in the return of old favorites — I’m personally pulling for the return of season 2′s Ivan, season 3′s Pasha, season 4′s Katee, and season 5′s Janette. And with only 10 contestants matched each week with a highly talented partner, the caliber of dancing in general by all rights should Grand Jeté over all previous six seasons. (Hat tip to fellow SYTYCD expert Kate Ward for the ballet reference.)
In the hrmmmm column, however… READ FULL STORY »
