Image Credit: FoxAfter just two weeks of auditions, season 10 of American Idol promises a lot of talent. Who do you love the most — is it one of the lucky “save the best for last” contestants like Travis Orlando, Paris Tassin, Chris Medina, or Lauren Alaina, each of whom enjoyed lengthy sob-story packages at the end of their episodes? Or are you rooting for more of a hidden gem — someone like Paul McDonald, whose few seconds of footage were intercut with two other singers’ so that we could barely get a sense of him? I need to SENSE Paul McDonald, you guys. Vote in our poll — or leave your own suggestions in the comments — after the break. READ FULL STORY »

Oscar promo No. 2 raises the question: Which of the hosts will flub a line first?
This just in: I’m still loving the chemistry between Oscar hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Maybe it’s because they’re both probably scared to death — and we know how fear brings people together courtesy of The Bachelor — but I’m getting a real team vibe from them, and I dig it. The latest promo shows them rehearsing the invite for viewers to tune in for the Oscar show. Hathaway chokes. Which one of them do you think will flub a line first on Oscar night (as adorably as Andrew Garfield did at the Golden Globes)? READ FULL STORY »

Elton John as Sue's love interest on 'Glee'? Don't let the sun go down on this...
Image Credit: Sylvain Gaboury/PR Photos; Patrick Ecclesine/Fox Record 20905008Elton John, the future Mr. Sue Sylvester? Oh please, TV gods, make this dream come true: Matthew Morrison is pushing for Sir Elton to guest-star on Glee, and he told People that “he should maybe play [Sue's] boyfriend or some kind of love interest for her.” Preach on, Mr. Schue!
It will be tough for any guest star in the near future to compete with Gwyneth Paltrow’s turn on the show, but if anyone can out-dazzle someone else, it’s Elton John, no? More importantly, I actually want to see Sue in some kind of decent (even if it’s strange) romantic relationship. So far we’ve seen her get her heart broken, break a heart or two herself, and possibly rape Figgins — a track(suit) record that would make even Carrie Bradshaw weep.
Do you want to see Elton John on Glee, PopWatchers? And what song would you want to hear him sing?

'Bones': Goodbye, Gravedigger (and Gormogon conclusion resentment)
Image Credit: Ray Mickshaw/FoxDid last night’s resolution of Bones‘ Gravedigger plotline make you forgive the show for dropping the ball on the Gormogon arc? You can tell by my headline that it’s a “yes” for me. Exec producer Stephen Nathan had warned us that it was the series’ most shocking opening ever, and he was right. The Gravedigger stepped out of the transport vehicle to walk into her final appeal and after a slo-mo stare-down with Sweets — who was, for some reason, allowed to ride with her when she requested psychological counsel so she could screw with him — she took a bullet to her head. Massive blood splatter and multiple shots of her headless body. Her brain exploded when the copper bullet hit it from 1,489 yards away. We’ve heard about this show’s battles with Fox’s censors before — I’d love to have heard the talks negotiating how many times/seconds director David Boreanaz could show the carnage. Regular viewers know not to eat during this show. I pity hungry newcomers. READ FULL STORY »

Who should be the next Bond villain?
Image Credit: Albert L. Ortega/PR Photos; Glenn Harris/PR Photos; Solarpix/PR PhotosNow that the next James Bond movie is back in action — with a November 2012 release date, and with Daniel Craig cast once again as super suave secret agent 007 — we have just one question: Who should play the next Bond baddie? Rumors have been swirling since even before the 23rd Bond film was put on hold last April (thanks to money problems at MGM) that Rachel Weisz was up for the part. That would be cozy casting, considering she’s rumored to be Craig’s girlfriend. There’s also been long-whispered rumors that Michael Sheen was being courted by the Bond producers. Both are interesting choices to play successors to the likes of Gert Fröbe and Donald Pleasence, but I’ve always felt that the best Bond villains always loom much larger on the screen, both physically and theatrically — and are usually bald. Whose head would we want to shave for the part? READ FULL STORY »

Challenger disaster 25 years later: Where were you when you heard?
Image credit: NASA/AP Images
I was in seventh grade when I heard that the Space Shuttle Challenger had exploded over the Atlantic Ocean on Jan. 28, 1986. It was in Mr. Kottner’s science class at Irving Junior High in Berwyn, Ill. (just outside Chicago). I remember some friends I had at other schools got out of class to gather and watch the launch together on TV, but for whatever reason we didn’t at my school. It was probably a good thing — even after knowing the tragic outcome of that launch, it was horrifying to watch those people disintegrate into a plume of smoke on television news (over and over) that night.

'Community': I hate myself for liking the idea of Shirley and Chang. Is the pair growing on you?
Image Credit: Chris Haston/NBCAfter last night’s episode of Community, I’ll be the first — and possibly only person — to say it: I’d be okay with Shirley and Chang being a couple. Gross!!!
I know, it’s a super weird and troubling idea (like the Period Fairy). She’s a religious, kind-hearted woman and he’s … Chang. But I assure you that I’m not on drugs. (After the group’s ultra-effective drug prevention program we saw last night, I could never!) This is something I’ve thought long and hard about after last night’s episode in which Chang showed more human colors by stepping in to save the show after Pierce screwed it up. (“Dissssapppointed?”) And he got a black eye on the process. READ FULL STORY »

Mrs. Butterworth versus the 'Where's the Beef' Lady; the Rice Krispies gang tackles the Pillsbury Dough Boy. No holds barred in the Big Shill quarterfinals
Our Big Shill bracket game has moved into its quarterfinals, PopWatchers, and today’s two matchups have the potential to be historic duels. First, you have Snap, Crackle, and Pop triple-teaming the Pillsbury Dough Boy, evoking memories of the Ghostbusters taking on the giant Stay Puft marshmallow man. And then, in a contrast of styles, prim Mrs. Butterworth rolls up her sleeves to slug it out with the Wendy’s “Where’s the Beef” lady. This is why they train. This is why Mrs. B. gets up at five in the morning and eats that extra pancake. This is why the WtB Lady spends thousands of hours in front of the mirror, practicing the same hilarious line. Two dames enter; one dame leave.

'30 Rock': Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning
Image Credit: Nicole Rivelli/NBC30 Rock returned this week, and I had to curse their advance-filming schedule. As Liz Lemon gazed upon the New York skyline and admired the buildings that looked like severed robot penises, I noticed absolutely NO snow and slush. Does this mean everything I see on television isn’t real? (Don’t answer that.) READ FULL STORY »

'Parks and Recreation': Love (and a nasty virus) is in the air
Ah, flu season — that magical time of year when a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Well, as long as that young man happens to be a character on Parks and Recreation.
In “The Flu,” April’s illness inspires Andy to swear he won’t leave her side (before he realizes that she could be sleeping for hours), and to bestow a sweet kiss upon her fevered forehead (which he instantly regrets because the fever has made her forehead all sweaty and gross). Leslie’s determination to deliver an important speech despite her flu-induced hallucinations (has anyone seen her tiara, perchance?) impresses a smitten Ben so much that he makes her chicken soup from scratch. And then there are Ann and Chris, who are also brought closer by the flu — and who might just have been the episode’s MVPs. READ FULL STORY »
