Forget all other television: On Sunday night, viewers with good taste will be tuning into the seventh season premiere of Food Network Star (9 p.m. ET). And what can they expect? For one, delicious-looking breakfast meals prepared by the new crop of contestants for judges Giada De Laurentiis and judge and host Bobby Flay. “[Breakfast] is a very good definition of the kind of person that you are,” DeLaurentiis told EW. “Are you a cereal person? Are you an egg person? How creative can you be with some standard ingredients?”
On hand to gauge just that are Alton Brown (pictured, left), Extra‘s Mario Lopez, In Style‘s Hal Rubenstein (pictured, center), and EW’s own managing editor, Jess Cagle (pictured, right), all who serve as guest judges during the premiere. But most will also be available Sunday night to talk about the taping of the premiere. That’s right: While watching Food Network Star‘s season 7 debut, use #Star to follow along a live-tweet led by Cagle, Brown, Flay, DeLaurentiis, Rubenstein, and Lopez, who are available to answer any and all questions you have about the premiere. How did each dish taste? Was there anything they were afraid to eat? Log onto Twitter at 9 p.m. ET Sunday to get tasty answers to your burning questions!
'The Killing' Clue Tracker: Read our latest 'Who killed Rosie Larsen?' theory and post your thoughts on tonight's episode
Just when I was starting to lose faith in The Killing, AMC’s murder mystery saga slayed me anew with a strong episode last week. Meeting Belko’s seedy (prostitute?) mother and visiting the scarred man-child’s bedroom, with the photos of Rosie Larsen taped to the ceiling above his bed (shudder), were great moments, as was Linden and Holder’s interrogation of Belko. Linden got a big clue in the final moments when she connected a note found in Rosie’s Koran to the name of a ferry boat. She took a ride and saw a sign for The Wapi Eagle Casino, whose logo matched the key chain that was found on Rosie the night she was murdered. (Is there also a link to Rosie’s arty-moody super-8 film? There’s a shot from a ferry. And is that the Wapi Eagle Casino logo reflected in the rippling water?) In general, I am glad that the drama has finally moved past listless (and now near lifeless) Bennet Ahmed. And I hope the show is done with ridiculous twists/cheats like Rosie’s Grand Canyon T-shirt.
I have friends who are convinced that Darren Richmond is the killer. I’m not so sure myself, though I do wonder if the embattled, ethically dubious mayoral candidate had an unseemly romantic relationship – or (ugh) tried to force one – with the attractive, idealistic Rosie. Last week, Jamie and Gwen discovered video footage showing Darren and Rosie shaking hands at a campaign event, but it’s hardly evidence of amorous malfeasance. Before I indict Darren, I want to know more about Rosie’s Aunt Terry and her connection to Michael Ames, a wealthy, powerful real estate mini-mogul (is he connected to the Wapi Eagle casino project?) and father to Rosie’s one-time boyfriend Jasper.
Until then, I think Jamie or Gwen is the killer. I suspect that for one these two Richmond aides, the “discovery” of that Darren-Rosie video was no “surprise.” I think something naughty went down between Richmond and Rosie, and Jamie or Gwen found out about it and decided to rub out Rosie to neutralize the potential for scandal. Or maybe one of them – most likely Gwen, who is also Darren’s lover — felt so furiously betrayed by Richmond’s skeevy liaison with a high school girl that he or (more likely) she murdered Rosie in hopes of tarnishing Darren and ruining his political career.
We shall see. Post your own theories below, as well as your reactions to tonight’s episode. Our weekly “Clue Tracker” recap will be delayed this week – unless Mr. DirecTV Repairman can get here fast enough tonight to get my dish working again. Sorry.

'X-Men: First Class': How much should superhero films follow the comic book?

A few years ago, 20th Century Fox realized they needed a way to extend the cash-cow X-Men franchise into infinity and beyond, so they decided to create a new X-Men prequel. This prequel would focus on the relationship between two iconic X characters, tracing how they went from best friends to mortal enemies. Although based on comic book mythology, every aspect of this relationship was reinvented for the film: How the two characters met, their history of working together, the nature of their friendship, how they became nemeses, everything.
But this prequel would also need to introduce a new variety of mutant heroes and villains — action figures must be sold, spin-offs must be spun, attractive young actors need work. So the prequel would feature a cavalcade of characters plucked, apparently at random, from nearly half a century of collective X-Men history. Most of these characters had never even interacted in the comic books. Almost everything about them — motivation, age, general temperament, personal history — was altered to fit the resettled movie timeline. The average moviegoer wouldn’t notice any of this. The average comic book fan would be driven mad. READ FULL STORY »
Stephen Colbert vs. BFF Jimmy Fallon in the battle for Emmy: It. Is. On.

It’s been three long years since the hilarious late night battle royale between Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O’Brien, (Coco had another decidedly less funny war he had to conquer since then) but that doesn’t mean there isn’t another round of TV-host terrorizing on the verge of erupting.
It seems Jimmy Fallon will be next to square off against the two Comedy Central comics, at least if he continues to irk Emmy’s reigning king Stewart and his current (well, at least until September 3) BFF Colbert. The Colbert Report host more or less declared war, accusing Fallon of continuing to ride his coattails. READ FULL STORY »
Emma Stone returns to being a red head, all is right in the world again

Emma Stone is naturally a blond, but forgive us if we prefer her hair the color it was when we first met her, in films like Superbad. It’s not that we weren’t going to see Crazy Stupid Love and The Help if she hadn’t switched back to being a red-head this summer, but in the pantheon of awesome gingers, faux or not, she ranks awfully high.
Are you glad that Stone is back as a red head, too, PopWatchers? Let us know in the comments section!
