Justin Timberlake hosts the season finale of Saturday Night Live this weekend with Lady Gaga, and he teams up with his “D–k in a Box”/“Motherlover” cohort Andy Samberg for a new set of promos. Watch them below. Timberlake already has two Emmys courtesy of SNL – Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for ”D— in a Box” and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his 2009 hosting gig. (“Motherlover” earned him another nomination.) How excited are you to see what they come up with next? (After watching the promos, anyone else hoping it involves drag?) READ FULL STORY »

Maggie Gyllenhaal will play Nobel-winning scientist Marie Curie in a special reading of Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie, taking over for Meryl Streep, who had to bow out due to a scheduling conflict. Streep’s spokesperson said in a statement that the two-time Oscar winner was “very disappointed to miss this important and inspiring event.”
Gyllenhaal joins the all-star cast of Radiance, which also includes Amy Adams, Bill Camp, Allison Janney, David Morse, Liev Schreiber, and Brent Sexton. Written by Alan Alda and directed by Bob Balaban, the reading anchors the 2011 World Science Festival Opening Night Gala Celebration on June 1 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall.

'The Good Wife' season finale: Should that elevator scene have been in the promo? (And watch it again!)

The Good Wife wrapped its second season last night. Ken Tucker has your recap of the finale and Tanner Stransky has your post-mortem with co-creators Robert and Michelle King, who also tease where we’re headed in the fall when the show moves to Sunday night.
For me, the most pressing unanswered question about last night’s finale is whether CBS should’ve teased the elevator kiss in the promo. I suspect it will have helped the show cap the season on a ratings high — and driven more than one fan to drink pre-show cocktails (I had two) — but I found myself wishing I hadn’t known things would progress that far.

'The Voice' Battle poll: Which duet was best?
Image Credit: NBC
The Voice‘s Battle Rounds are quickly becoming one of the best recent innovations in the music-competition genre, and last night’s duels were a mishmash of vocal styles and musical genres. They didn’t always work acoustically, but they were certainly… interesting. Nakia and Tje Austin collaborating on Ne-Yo’s “Closer” was a surprisingly sweet jam, while the trio’s (Jared, plus the folk duo, Elenowen) rendition of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” seemed a little uneven. You can’t really go wrong with “Stand By Me,” which Angela Wolff and Javier Colon delivered, and the right voice can really shine in The Who’s “Baba O’Riley.” (Sorry, Justin.)
Which performance did you like best? Vote below. READ FULL STORY »

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' enjoys record ratings. Other Jersey-centric shows I want to see.
Image Credit: Bravo
I thought 2010 was the Year of New Jersey. Then we saw this news: Last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey premiere attracted 2.87 million viewers, making Monday the best night in Bravo’s history, according to the network. Add to that the fact that interest in Jersey Shore has only increased in its third season, and that I see posters for Jerseylicious more than I see my own face, and it’s official: I was wrong. Clearly, 2011 is the year in which we will fully embrace the Garden State (until next year) with successful series that spout more stereotypes than a third-rate stand-up comic at an open mic night. Because, if we listen to reality TV, New Jersey is a state full of loud women with big hair and beefy husbands who are suspicious waste management workers entrepreneurs. Actually, that’s true. (Hey, I live there half the year.) But! It’s also full of other wonderful things that should be highlighted on the small screen. Television, here are the New Jersey-centric series I want to see in 2011: READ FULL STORY »

'Glee' countdown: Jesse St. James, killer of dreams

I wish there were a decent way to mash up the word “glee” with “funeral” or “death,” but somehow that doesn’t seem right. Since you’ve already speculated wildly on who’ll be leaving the Gleeverse for good — and we’re promised it’ll be someone who means more to us than even Pavarotti, Kurt’s deceased canary — let’s focus on the brighter spots of tonight’s episode, shall we?
Like Jesse St. James’ return to New Directions as a consultant, a.k.a. killer of dreams. It looks like he’ll be more of a Simon Cowell than a Steven Tyler when it comes to critiquing the kids, and like the cranky Brit, he hurls instantly quotable insults: “You kind of sing and dance like a zombie that has to poop.” That was directed at his rival, Finn, though I’d be interested to hear what kind of venom he could spew about Mr. Schue’s rapping.

'House' without Cuddy: Will you watch?

Whether you liked her or not, Dr. Cuddy was as vital to House as organs are to people: She provided one half of the will-they-won’t-they drama. She was the corporate, civilized ying to Dr. House’s unbridled, disgruntled yang. She wore really tight, low-cut shirts. Though we often cursed her for reigning in our unmanageable hero, we still couldn’t imagine a House without her. And now, with the news that Lisa Edelstein is exiting the show prior to its eighth season, it’s hard to imagine I’ll sit down for another whole season without her.
Come on: Despite all the mysteries, gross-out moments, and there’s-the-guy-from-Harold-and-Kumar-oh-no-wait-he’s-gone-what?! revelations, House was leading to one thing: That’s right, Huddy. READ FULL STORY »

Donald Trump won't run for president. But why?

Donald Trump announced yesterday that he would not seek the presidency, and today, the new question is, Why? Why did the real-estate titan and reality-TV star take his name out of the running for the Republican nomination? According to Anthony Baxter, he’s responsible for spoiling Trump’s potential campaign. The filmmaker, whose You’ve Been Trumped yet-unsold documentary chronicles a Scottish seaside resort’s fight against Trump’s planned golf course, told the Hollywood Reporter, “I do think Mr. Trump realized he would be under severe scrutiny if he actually ran for president, and our film had become part of that dialogue.” READ FULL STORY »
