There are a multitude of reasons to mourn the loss of Oprah’s television show. High on my list is the inevitable demise of the long-running “Pat & Kenny Read Oprah Transcripts,” David Letterman’s dramatization of Oprah, courtesy of two grizzled stagehands. Last night, the duo tackled an episode with Martha Stewart discussing a spicy grilled cheese sandwich, and it was “very ha-cha-cha.” GawkerTV has the clip here, and click below for Dave’s Oprah-themed Top 10 List, in which he just couldn’t help himself.

While Scotty McCreery was crowned the new American Idol Wednesday night, last year’s champion, Lee DeWyze, seemed lost in the background of the Nokia Theatre. His fans vented online, but the show’s executive producer Nigel Lythgoe explained on Twitter that DeWyze himself had declined a more prominent role. “I was so upset Lee DeWyze wouldn’t present the winners trophy to Scotty,” he wrote. “Especially as he’d been on the show this Season. I guess he was shy.”
But DeWyze objected online, claiming that he wasn’t really asked to be part of the finale, writing, “Just for the record… I was not asked to be involved in the Finale. READ FULL STORY »

Zach Galifianakis rips January Jones: 'Everybody's going to forget about you in a few years'

On “Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis,” guests can expect to be treated rudely by the insecure host. But there doesn’t seem to be anything inspired or playful about Galifianakis’ recent remarks about Mad Men beauty January Jones. After a writer from ShortList.com mentioned that Jones had named the Hangover star as the “most naturally funny person she’d ever met,” Galifianakis basically scoffed. “If I remember correctly, she and I were very rude to each other,” he said. “It was crazy. I was at a party — I’d never met her — and she was like, ‘Come sit down.’ So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, ‘I think it’s time for you to leave now.’ So I say, ‘January, you are an actress in a show and everybody’s going to forget about you in a few years, so f—ing be nice,’ and I got up and left. And she thinks that’s funny?” READ FULL STORY »

'The Simpsons' or 'Family Guy': Which is greater? Which is more influential?

On Wednesday, your friends and bitter enemies here at EW.com will unveil our list of the 25 greatest animated series of all time. The list includes classics from the early days of TV animation, sincere kids’ cartoons which taught you important life lessons, surreal kids’ cartoons that your parents didn’t understand, animated satires, animated musical space westerns, animated fantasies, and whatever Aqua Teen Hunger Force is. But here’s the twist: Instead of ranking these shows, we’re going to ask you readers to cast your vote to decide which animated series is the greatest of them all. You’ll be wrestling with some of the great conflicts in animated TV history. Beavis & Butthead or Ren & Stimpy? Aqua Teen Hunger Force or The Venture Brothers? The Flintstones or The Jetsons? (Just kidding on that last one. The Jetsons will never appear on a list of greatest anything, except for Elroy, whose cold dead eyes and slurry hippie voice certainly earn him a place on the list of Greatest Headache You’ve Ever Been Given by a Character on Television.)
Still, no animated feud has ever matched the neverending battle between two apparently-immortal Fox comedies about American families who spend their days deconstructing a broad swath of the history of pop culture. It’s time to revisit the age-old contest, people: Is The Simpsons still better than Family Guy? READ FULL STORY »

David Letterman 'upset, crushed, disappointed' by Oprah snub
David Letterman was not invited to Oprah’s “big gala” in Chicago on Tuesday night, and the late-night host, whose relationship with the queen of daytime television has never been hunky-dory, is so upset he feels like his head is going to explode. Or so he says.
On last night’s show, Letterman first honored Winfrey during his monologue, laying it on so thick in his typical flip style that you couldn’t tell if he meant a word of it. Take a look below. READ FULL STORY »

(The entire unedited 30-minute conversation will be available online after Tuesday’s show.) Fox News has posted a sneak peek: READ FULL STORY »

Yankees - Red Sox rivalry turns violent, as Alec Baldwin slugs John Krasinski
The Yankees and the Red Sox engaged in another weekend series, and John Krasinski and Alec Baldwin took part in another New Era commercial celebrating the heated rivalry between two of baseball’s most iconic franchises. This time, things turned violent and Krasinski took one on the chin from Baldwin’s plumber-like fists. But the real hurt was Baldwin insinuating that Krasinski isn’t handsome. Take a look.

Handsome man Jon Hamm: Impossible to insult.

As you already know, on Conan last night, Jon Hamm took a swing at Donald Trump’s inability to laugh at himself at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Well, inevitably, Trump — never one to pass up the opportunity to knock anyone who breathes (unless they’ve got knockers) — has gotta swing back, right? Problem: I’ve been trying to think all afternoon about how one could even attempt to insult real-life awesome person Hamm, and I’m coming up completely empty. As EW’s Darren Franich says, Hamm “has the sense of humor of an incredibly ugly stand-up comedian, but he also looks like Superman.” He’s got a bubble! READ FULL STORY »

Jon Stewart raps Fox News with uncommon beat
There was nothing common about Jon Stewart’s critique of Fox News most recent political furor last night. Yes, he played clips of Fox’s biggest stars lambasting the White House for inviting the rapper Common to a prestigious poetry event, since they claimed some of his lyrics were misogynistic and celebrated cop-killing. Sure, Stewart then followed that up with archival Fox footage that seemed to undermine their noble ideals when the shoe was on the other foot. Par for the course, you say? Yawn? “This isn’t even fun any more,” Stewart himself lamented, referring to the footage his staff finds of Fox’s personalities contradicting themselves. “We’ve actually started burying these tapes around the office just to make this sporting.”
So that’s when Stewart took it to a new level. He demanded a beat and brought the libs to their feet. With a rap so wack that even his enemies would not dare attack… Yeah, yeah, check out Stew-Beef, dropping some mad words. READ FULL STORY »

Marg Helgenberger calls Justin Bieber 'kind of a brat'
Justin Bieber gilded his resume this year with a why-the-heck-not guest arc on CSI, which culminated in a bloody bullet ballet that was like Bonnie & Clyde except with better hair. At least one CSI cast member wasn’t too impressed by the tweenybopping idol, though; when Marg Helgenberger was speaking to French radio last week, she said, “I shouldn’t be saying this, but he was kind of a brat.” Wearing an impish grin that positively screamed I would never say this on American radio, Helgenberger noted that the star was perfectly nice to her but, “He locked one of the producers in a closet…[and] he put his fist through a cake that was on a craft services table.”
Kids these days, with their closet pranks and pastry-punching! What’s happening to America? Let’s have a serious discussion about it on French radio. UPDATE: Bieber has apparently responded to Helgenger’s comments via his Twitter page, saying “it’s kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind.” He later added, “I know who i am and sometimes people r just going 2 say what they want. Keep ur head up and be the man ur mama raised. #killemwithkindness,” before ultimately concluding, “dont spread gossip and dont spread rumors about others…im a kid and i know that. #respect.” In conclusion, Hollywood is exactly like fifth grade, except apparently with more cake.
