It's a 'Glee'-ful holiday
Adam Rose/FOX
Gather ’round kiddies. Time to talk about that last Glee of the year. And with a title like “Extraordinary Merry Christmas” what more could you ask for? (Read after the jump if you’ve already seen tonight’s episode.) READ FULL STORY »

The Broadway revival of Noel Coward’s seminal comedy Private Lives will close on Dec. 31, the show’s producers announced today. Starring Kim Cattrall and Paul Gross and directed by Richard Eyre, the production was scheduled to conclude its run Feb. 5, but producer Paul Elliott said in a release that “ticket sales have been slower than we had hoped for, and it would be irresponsible to continue running into the notoriously difficult January period.” READ FULL STORY »
Two words to describe Mitt Romney's pop culture tastes: 'Battlefield Earth'

He listens to Roy Orbison and The Beatles. He reads Mark Twain and John Steinbeck. He watches Friday Night Lights and American Idol. So, is Mitt Romney qualified to be the commander and chief of pop culture?
As part of EW’s on-going effort to help keep voters informed, we’re launching an investigative series into the entertainment tastes of the major candidates. In other words, we’ll be periodically clicking on their Facebook pages and analyzing what they’ve listed as their favorite books, TV shows, and movies. Newt Gingrich, tellingly, doesn’t list anything pop cultural under his “Personal Interests” section (just stuff like “paleontology” and “visiting zoos in different cities”), so we’re starting with the other Republican front-runner.

Is 'The Lucky One' reaching with the standard Nicholas Sparks movie wet kiss? (Does it matter?)
If you’re a fan of Nicholas Sparks movies, you probably thought two things watching the trailer for The Lucky One: Zac Efron’s biceps are huge, and another wet kiss? There’s the legendarily steamy Notebook downpour kiss on the dock, the smoldering Dear John rain kiss in a house under construction, the we’re-in-a-hurricane kiss in Nights in Rodanthe, and the we’re-in-the-ocean horsing around kiss in The Last Song. In Message in a Bottle, there’s a love scene by a large bedroom window that shows it’s raining outside, and in the school play in A Walk to Remember, Mandy Moore’s chanteuse character is supposed to have just walked in from the rain when she sings for Shane West’s club owner and he kisses her. In The Lucky One trailer, we see Taylor Schilling’s character grab Zac Efron’s character when he’s washing his hands in some kind of an outdoor shower. At first, it’s like, really? They have to stand under a weak outdoor shower. But then it’s like, oh, this appears to be the start of the sexiest Nicholas Sparks movie love scene since The Notebook. (Anyone else still surprised that butt grab made the trailer?)
So my question is: Is The Lucky One reaching with this kiss? Or does the end justify the means? READ FULL STORY »
'Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway' -- Share your memories here!

On Jan. 1, Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway will end its 10-week run, and the only thing those lucky enough to have seen it will have left is their souvenir coffee mugs. Actually, that’s not true. The coffee mugs are already sold out. It’s fitting that Jackman closes the show with Peter Allen’s “Once Before I Go,” which includes the lyric “But unless I spread my wings again, I’m afraid I’ll never soar, so hang on to the memories and hold me close once more,” because that’s exactly what you want to do it’s the memories you take with you. Memories like him making his entrance singing “Oh What a Beautiful Morning’” and your mother letting out an audible, enraptured “Oh” groan heard by at least three rows. I saw the show twice last week. I’ll share my favorite memories if you share yours. READ FULL STORY »
Gwyneth Paltrow launches 'GOOP City' app: First Manhattan, then the world!
Finally some answers for on-the-go girls (and guys) who absolutely must know where to pick up this season’s most mouthwatering macriobiotic fare with Madonna (Angelica Kitchen, obvs), how to cope with the perils of sitting next to a sweaty seat filler at the Emmys (if I had a nickel…), and who you have to bang to get your hands on the latest Coldplay album (not Brad Pitt… maybe Jay-Z)! That’s right GOOP fans, all-around doyenne Gwyneth Paltrow is bringing her unique brand of so-upscale-it’s-accessible-again-and-is-the-world-upside-down? elegance to mobile devices.
This latest venture, called GOOP City, became available on iPhones and iPads today for $3.99. Like everything else GOOP, it’s nothing if not universal (if you fit any of the three conditions above). The iOS app will offer tips on restaurants, bars, shopping, walking tours, and more. For now, GOOP City will focus on New York City, though more cities will be GOOPified in coming months. Paltrow described the app as “a trusted friend,” explaining that she was inspired by “years of being steered in the wrong direction by bribed concierges, biased opinions, and just plain bad suggestions.”
Food for thought: Paltrow’s daughter is named Apple. Is it a mere coincidence, or has she been planning this Jobs-ian tech takeover since 2004? How long before Paltrow partners with vendors in the world’s end-all-be-all daily deals website: LifeGOOPer? (Now your iPhone pocket journal will be only $148.80 instead of $372!) Next thing you know, she’ll be booking your hotels, flights, and car rentals on GOOPelocity. And then the final phase: GOOPling, a joint project with Ryan Gosling to take over all of meme-dom!
What do you think, PopWatchers? Will you sign up for GOOP City? Is Paltrow the modern-day shadow self of Napoleon, waging a step-by-step takeover of life as we know it?

Donald Trump pulls out of own debate, floats presidential bid (again), plugs 'The Apprentice'
Image Credit: Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic.com
Well, it was good while it lasted. After enticing political junkies and late night comics with the prospect of hosting his very own Republican presidential debate, professional media luminary Donald Trump announced today that he has pulled out of moderating the debate planned by right wing publication Newsmax in Iowa on Dec. 27.
Of course, because this is Donald Trump we’re taking about, he did so while also managing to float once again the prospect of him running for president as an independent candidate by citing said possibility as the reason he was withdrawing from the Iowa debate. And, for good measure, he managed to plug The Apprentice in the very first sentence of his announcement. Which you can read in full below. Behold: READ FULL STORY »
'Independence U.S.A.': For once, Glenn Beck doesn't go far enough
“My name is Frank, and I’m not crazy.”
When most people say that during an introduction — especially on a reality show — best to keep your distance. But Frank Belcastro, the paterfamilias in Independence U.S.A., seems pretty sane for a guy who is determined to live “off the grid” to prepare his family to fend for itself should society falter. If it sounds familiar, it’s because Belcastro and his family have done this before, starring in the nearly identical Apocalypse, PA, the blink-and-you-missed-it reality show that aired on History Channel last year. Resurrected by GBTV, Glenn Beck’s live-streaming video network, the Belcastro’s might find a more attentive audience this time around.
“This show, for me, is a fun and sometimes funny way to get people to open their eyes and see what’s going on,” said Belcastro, in a statement. “Americans are so reliant on the infrastructure around them but when you can create something with your own hands and everybody works as a team, everybody does a part, you can focus on the positive of this. You can spend time with your family and your community.”

Gary Busey endorses Newt Gingrich: Which politically minded stars would you actually listen to?

The GOP presidential candidates just got another pair of crazy eyes on their side: Gary Busey appears to be endorsing Newt Gingrich. The Celebrity Apprentice star told TheWashingtonScene.com, “I’ve never met Newt but I know what he stands for.”
Still, Busey — who noted that he’s a Texan who won’t be giving his support to Rick Perry (“He’s a good guy, he just doesn’t belong in the race”) — noted he’d rather see his old Celebrity Apprentice boss Donald Trump throw his hair hat back in the ring. (“Donald would be great. He’s a good friend.”)
