Teri Hatcher visits 'Smallville': Who is the best Lois Lane?
Image Credit: Danny Feld/ABC; Jack Rowand/The CWTonight, Teri Hatcher guest stars as Lois Lane’s mother on Smallville. Hatcher, of course, played Lois herself in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Hatcher isn’t the first former Lois to swing by Smallville: Margot Kidder appeared on the show back in 2004. Add in Erica Durance, who’s been playing the dynamo lady reporter on the show for six years, and Smallville has officially featured only the finest Lois Lanes of the last three decades. But who is your favorite?
Personally, I’m a total Kidder loyalist. The character is typically played as a tireless workaholic, but Kidder added an element of gleeful obsessiveness. That’s especially true in Superman 2, where Kidder has one of the single funniest scenes in any superhero movie. (She chainsmokes through an extended explanation about the medical benefits of orange juice.) I also have a soft spot for Dana Delany, who voiced Lois in various animated series. Much as I love Superman Returns, though, I’ve mostly blocked out the Kate Bosworth scenes from my mind. Let’s just be kind and say she was too young for the role. Although I’d love to hear an argument from Bosworth fans. (Anyone?) Vote in the poll below to decide who is the fairest/coolest Lois of them all! READ FULL STORY »

'Morning Glory' is no 'Broadcast News': PopWatch Rewind, Week 13
Television news has always ripe for the satiric picking, but it seems, via some form of Stockholm Syndrome, we’ve gotten a little more lenient with it over the years. In 1976, there was Network, a scorched earth, razor-sharp black satire that held no prisoners, and now, 34 years later, we have Morning Glory, in which a perky morning news producer teaches a cranky old legitimate journalist that it’s okay to be frivolous. And somewhere in between there’s James L. Brooks’ Broadcast News: A movie that manages to both take its subject mercilessly to task and have well-rounded characters you love and remember. With Morning Glory in theaters and Brooks’ love-triangle movie How Do You Know coming up quick (Dec. 17, to be exact), we decided it was the perfect time to revisit the 1987 romantic dramedy. Now, I’m going to throw it over to us for the color commentary. Film at 11.
Keith Staskiewicz: It’s almost insane seeing a romantic comedy that has characters — actual three-dimensional characters — in it with more than one personality trait and motivations other than “me want promotion” or “me want husband” or “me can’t stand this person that is completely different from me, no, wait, me love him” and making decisions based on emotions, rather than whatever will get us into the next montage the quickest.
Darren Franich: I despise the romantic comedy pop-music montage (or RomComPopMuMo, as it’s known among film scholars). In the ’80s, a movie was only allowed to have one montage, and it had to be awesome. READ FULL STORY »

Heidi Klum wore Mondo Guerra's polka-dot dress!
Image Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty Images; David M. Russell/LifetimeIT HAPPENED!!! As EW reported yesterday, Heidi ended up wearing a modified version of the polka-dot evening dress designed by Project Runway season 8 runner-up Mondo Guerra to the Los Angeles premiere of Black Swan. She “stepped out” in this gown, if you will. (I won’t. Loathe self for typing “stepped out” even in air quotes.)
Someone tore off the sleeves! Can you picture “Top Ameh-wican Desgin-uh Michael Kors” sneaking out of the workroom in stealth gear late at night? His black-ops clothes would be so sophisticated and chic, yet wearable.
Are you IN or are you OUT of love with Heidi’s sleeveless look? I miss the extra fabric, but I’m a drama queen. Either way, this rules.

Julie Bowen shows leg, and a shot of her twins 'Fatty' and 'Smarty,' on 'Conan'
Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen felt pressure to perform as one of Conan‘s first week guests, and we think it’s safe to say she produced. Watch their chat below. Conan starts by thanking her for not wearing pants. “It’s so great to be on television again,” he said. Then, Bowen insults fellow guest Michael Cera a couple times before admitting that she met him at an event when he was 14, walked up to him and said “I love you” in what she thought was a cool way, and he looked at her like she was old and decrepit. She saved the best story, about her twin 18-month-old boys, for last: She was doing laundry one day, turned her back, and, “The smart one had gotten the fat cute one in the dryer.” Naturally, Conan gives her grief for not having learned her children’s names and for her first instinct being to run to get her camera and take a photo. “You get fatty out!” Hilarious. This is how a talk show appearance is done.
P.S. The way she told that story, there is no one who could play Claire better than her. And it’s a shame Fatty (Gustav) and Smarty (John) aren’t a little older. They could’ve wreaked havoc as Lily’s preschool classmates. READ FULL STORY »

Weekend Box Office Poll: Will you see 'Unstoppable,' 'Morning Glory,' or 'Skyline'? Or maybe just 'Megamind' again?
If Harrison Ford starred in a movie about aliens attacking a runaway train, you’d probably want to see that, right? Well, that will never happen. But if you don’t sleep for the next 48 hours and then go see Morning Glory, Unstoppable, and Skyline on Sunday, maybe your sleep-deprived brain will mix them together into one beautiful hallucination! EW’s John Young is betting that you won’t see any of them — or, at least, it’s more likely that last week’s box office topper Megamind will win the weekend. (Morning Glory already had a soft opening on Wednesday.) He predicts a No. 2 slot for Unstoppable and a No. 3 finish for Cloverfield Goes to District 9 Skyline, with returning Due Date beating back Morning Glory for No. 4.
Personally, I’ll be first in line for Unstoppable tonight. (I just love trains. ) PopWatchers, what are you planning on seeing this weekend? Tell us in the poll, and if you feel like it, tell us why in the comments!

Ivanka Trump blogs 'The Apprentice': Episode 9
Image Credit: Virginia Sherwood/NBCHi Apprentice Fans! I was not kidding last week when I told you that The Apprentice is getting more surprising with each new episode. This week had another Apprentice first – the episode began with a boardroom …and a firing.
An Apprentice Shocker (and Fire #9)
My father had the two teams assemble in the boardroom at the beginning of the show, as he announced “I’ve just been given some very disturbing news.” It had been brought to his attention that Anand had been text-messaging people during the pedi-cab challenge in Episode 6. Anand had been asking friends to bring in money for the pedi-cab rides because he was the Project Manager and his “ass was on the line.” He asked them to bring $50 and “to pretend like we don’t know each other.” It was extremely shocking, and also very unfair!
When my father initially confronted Anand with the text-messaging situation, Anand denied it. But once my father read him his texts, he had to admit he had sent them. The other cast members were astonished, as no one knew about these texts. My father, obviously angry, told Anand “I’m all about taking every advantage you can but this is crossing the line. That’s why Wall Street and our country are such a mess.” READ FULL STORY »

Cher does David Letterman: A round-up of the best sound bites from her visit
Burlesque star Cher showed up on the Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote her big razzle-dazzle movie, but she ended up talking quite a bit about other things. Mostly, how she deals with fame; a hilarious gay Bar Mitzvah wedding that she went to; and her never-ending Las Vegas show. As you might imagine, Cher paired with Letterman is rather hilarious. Here, the highlights from her appearance, in sound bite form, and the video clip is embedded below.
On being recognized: “The only time it’s rough is like — well, the paparazzi are nightmares, so they’re never nice. They’re always just crap.” READ FULL STORY »

'Family Feud' survey-takers afraid of 'Naked Grandma'
Here’s one of my favorite games to play while watching Family Feud: Try to guess how many times “a gun” will be a correct answer during a single show. (I once guessed correctly that it would be the No. 1 answer in the following category: “Name something on your nightstand.” That’s America for you!) So the fact that I can revive my personal form of entertainment is the first reason I’m loving the clip embedded after the jump. The second reason: The enthusiasm with which the contestant screams, “Nekkid Grandma!” as his first — that’s right, first — answer to “Something a burglar would not want to see when he breaks into a house.” The third reason: The fact that “Nekkid Grandma” actually translates to “Gun/Occupant” in Family Feud-speak. Happy Friday! READ FULL STORY »

'Glee': Gwyneth Paltrow's 'Umbrella'-'Singin' in the Rain' mash-up released
Image Credit: Adam Rose/FoxWe’ve already heard upcoming Glee guest star Gwyneth Paltrow belt out Cee-Lo’s “Forget You” exclusively here on EW.com. And it wasn’t half bad! Now, the mash-up of Paltrow singing the mash-up of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and the classic “Singin’ in the Rain” with Matthew Morrison’s Mr. Schuster has also hit the Web. It’s fun, in that Glee-doing-a-wacky-mash-up kinda way. Thematically, these two songs fit together well — I mean, one is about singing in the rain and the other is about an umbrella. A match made in heaven, really. And Gwyneth has been on the music circuit lately, so we already know she’s pretty good. Although, doesn’t she sort of sound like Chris Colfer in the “Umbrella”-”Singin’ the Rain’” fusion? It’s sort of bizarre. Take a listen at Just Jared (it’s not embeddable), and then come back and let us know what you think.
