Last Mother’s Day, Betty White famously hosted a stellar episode of Saturday Night Live. Well, we can’t have the almost-nonagenarian back for a second go-round, but we’ve got the next best thing: Tina Fey. And the former cast member, and current 30 Rock star sure chose a good week to host, what with such headline-grabbing events like the death of Osama bin Laden and the Royal Wedding occurring just one week ago. No word as to what the SNL cast might do with the bin Laden news, but if the current round of promos are any indication, the cast might just lampoon England’s most glamorous event in 30 years: Noting that musical guest Ellie Goulding was at the Royal Wedding, Kristen Wiig jokes she was there too, yelling, “Marry me, Harry, you handsome ginger devil!” Come on, we’re all thinking it too. Check out the promos after the jump, in which Fey reveals a creative Mother’s Day gift idea. READ FULL STORY »

George Clooney turns 50. Which role made you first fall for him?

Oh, George Clooney, only you could pull this off looking better today — at 50 years old! — than you did in your 30s. (Then again, The Caesar didn’t help matters. Neither did this.) But, yes, you read that right: Today, the Ocean’s Eleven star and People‘s 2097 Sexiest Man Alive (I’m just speculating here, but, still, a good bet), turns a half century old. We’d love to celebrate his birthday by asking Clooney where he’s discovered the fountain of youth, but we’re guessing he’s busy pranking Brad Pitt while picking out roses for his Italian girlfriend in his Lake Como villa while riding a unicorn and saving 10 newborn kittens. (Yes, in my head, he’s the Old Spice guy.) So, instead, we’ll celebrate his 50 years on Earth by asking you, PopWatchers: When did you first fall in love with Clooney? READ FULL STORY »
John Krasinski can be your puppet. Literally.
Pull the strings! Pull the strings! Last night, on Conan, The Office and Something Borrowed star John Krasinski talked to the recently de-bearded late night host about Michael Scott’s favorite line, photo-bombing Billy Crudup and photographer Terry Richardson ( …and Lindsay Lohan and President Obama), and his desire to shave poor Coco’s head. But things got truly entertaining when Krasinski showed off a special talent typically reserved for his fellow Office castmates: His ability to perfectly impersonate a marionette. Click the jump to see Krasinski’s interview, during which he plays an “NBA ref” version of the puppet. No wonder he landed a small role in the new Muppets movie. READ FULL STORY »
Lady Gaga to mentor 'American Idol' Top 4 contestants. Bring the drama!

Expect a surge in the Top 4′s performance level next week: Fox has confirmed to EW that Lady Gaga is set to appear on American Idol as a mentor for our remaining finalists. And before you scoff at the idea of a 25-year-old handing out career advice, remember that Miley Cyrus served as a mentor on the show last year, at the ripe age of 17 years old. And it’s not like Gaga doesn’t have anything to offer — some of our contestants (ahem, Lauren!) still have plenty to learn when it comes to truly performing to a crowd. Who better to teach them than the dramatic artist herself? (If only Pia were still around to pick up a few pointers… )
But it’s interesting to consider how she might aid the contestants, considering next week’s theme. READ FULL STORY »
Death at the Multiplex: The Summer Movie Body Count begins now!

Because, fellow moviegoers, today marks the beginning of the summer blockbuster season: Four straight months of slambang superhero action, epic science-fiction battles, and historically-inaccurate explosive devices.

'American Idol' on the scene for Top 5 results show: 12 things you didn't see
Image Credit: Michael Becker/Fox
The Idol block this week was decidedly Jenny’s. Wednesday night found the diva wearing the hottest heels in the universe, and in case you were wondering, she continued the streak last night in a pair of red-soled Louboutins. But truly, her pumps weren’t the story last night in the Idoldome: It was all about her sizzling performance of certified-hit “On the Floor,” as you can see in the photo here. But there was a secret to Jenny’s “Floor’-filled show: Even though the show masqueraded it as otherwise to you television viewers, J.Lo’s singing was totally pretaped.
'Parks and Recreation': Come back soon, Parker Posey!

Does anybody do uptight passive-aggression better than Parker Posey? The indie darling’s guest spot on tonight’s episode of Parks and Rec was so pitch-perfect that I can’t wait for her character, Lindsay Carlisle-Shea, to appear on the show again. Just like another memorable guest played by a different funny lady (Megan Mullally’s Tammy Swanson), Lindsay is an important figure from one of our protagonists’ pasts. 35 pounds and one nose job ago, she was Leslie’s best friend and colleague at Pawnee’s Parks Department. But their bond was shattered when Lindsay took a cushy job in Eagleton, the snooty Shelbyville to Pawnee’s earthy Springfield — a job Leslie had turned down.
The former BFFs met again tonight to discuss a fence Eagleton had built to divide its side of a shared park from Pawnee’s side. After Lindsay insulted Ann (“Nursing! You must be so tired and sad”) and, worse, Leslie’s beloved hometown (“Pawnee is, and always will be, a dirty little nightmare from which you’ll never wake up. But it was good seeing you”), our heroine became more determined than ever to get rid of the fence. She, Tom, and Ben then took a trip across the border dividing the towns, and we got a glimpse of the paradise that is Eagleton: Their town hall meetings include complementary crepes made out of porcini mushrooms and Boursin cheese. They give out free iPod Touches and verbana scented soy candles to everyone who attends said meetings. And because of the burg’s cupcake factory, the air always smells like vanilla. It’s a far cry from Pawnee, where residents believe arson is a valid way to solve most problems. READ FULL STORY »
'American Idol': Top 5's eliminated singer is...
Update: Annie’s results show recap is live.
Wednesday’s ‘Now & Then’ performance show brought tears for James, praise for Scotty, a parachute gown for Lauren, and some serious “WTF”-ery aimed at the judges from fans sick of hearing about who is “in it to win it”…and not much else. Earlier today, we asked What’s the judges’ beef with ‘Idol’ contestant Haley?; then later on, over 92 percent of you predicted it would be Jacob Lusk heading home tonight. Update: READ FULL STORY »
Hugh Jackman sings Richard Marx, discusses ripped pants: Watch
Hugh Jackman is in the midst of a two-week concert run in San Francisco, and his musical coordinator, Richard Marx, has posted a video on YouTube that includes a clip of Jackman singing “Right Here Waiting.” As someone who saw Jackman receive 28 catcalls in one night onstage in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz (yes, I counted), I enjoy that we hear one during a musical interlude. The Jackman stuff starts at 2:40 in the video below. Jackman and Marx then joke around backstage. “Well, here we are backstage with the one and only Ryan Reynolds,” Marx says. They talk about how Jackman took his pants off onstage because they’d ripped. Where’s video of that?! They also plug “Ricardo’s” new album. READ FULL STORY »
Johnny Depp surprises Oprah's audience with a trip to the movies to screen 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.' At-home viewers curse the heavens.

I’ve had actual dreams that have started this way: Johnny Depp emerges out of nowhere, champagne flutes in hand, and offers to take me to the movies. But for the audience members of today’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, that was very much a reality.
With just 15 episodes left, Oprah isn’t messing around. READ FULL STORY »
