It was all about shattered dreams on tonight’s premiere of the CW’s LA Complex, a soapy Canadian import about a crew of Hollywood wannabes trying to make it big—or just enough to pay rent in their Melrose Place-like apartment building.

Frazzled actress Abby (Cassie Steele) botches an audition for a musical TV role by puking all over the piano and the casting director. As the director puts it, “When there’s vomit on the piano, it’s time to stop the audition.” I’m choosing to forgive her for injecting my primetime TV with bodily fluids because it was out of her control. (However, I’m not forgiving her for denim cutoffs with visible pockets. Why is this a trend?) To dull the pain of a breakup with her long-distance boyfriend she sleeps with Aussie actor Conner (Jonathan Patrick Moore) sans-protection. That leads to a frantic trip to get Plan B before her audition. Unfortunately, taking Plan B right before your audition for a major role might just cause you to blow chunks. READ FULL STORY »

'My So-Called Life': Angela Chase's mom just dropped LSD on 'Mad Men'!

I don’t know what that loony tunes is saying on the right, but all I can hear in my head is a disappointed “Angela….”

I’m posting this because I wanted My So-Called Life to be at the beginning of a headline, as if something involving My So-Called Life was actually happening. It’s not, but Bess Armstrong (a.k.a. Patty Chase, Angela’s mom) just guest starred on tonight’s episode of Mad Men as a psychologist to the stars who dropped acid with Roger Sterling! Patty!

They had a time, didn’t they? READ FULL STORY »

Meet the teens behind 'Hot Problems': 'We don't really think we're that hot'

Tags: , , , , ,

Breaking news from EW’s Department of Hot Girls: Drew Garrett and Lauren Willey are the long-haired high schoolers responsible for “Hot Problems,” a homemade music video that makes Rebecca Black’s “Friday” look like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” So, what possessed these two — known collectively as Double Take — to promote their own attractiveness on YouTube, thereby inviting hundreds of thousands of catty Internet commenters (and pop culture bloggers) to mock them? Were they trying to become viral sensations? Is either one under the delusion that she might be able to make it as a singer? And finally, do they really think they’re that hot?

In a word: No. The pair concluded a whirlwind media tour today by discussing their video with Good Morning America‘s Abby Boudreau. In the interview, Hot Girl Lauren — she’s the one on the right who sort of looks like Kristen Schaal — explains that the duo just wanted to make “something fun to show our friends. We really didn’t mean anything from it.”

Adds Drew, a.k.a. The Other One, “We knew we couldn’t really sing.” READ FULL STORY »

Walking bullhorn Nicki Minaj has officially deactivated her Twitter feed, leaving 11 million fans in a digital timeout after the rap star ditched the social medium over a spat with a fan site.

Minaj sparred with unofficial fan site Nicki Daily on Sunday night after the latter began to leak unreleased songs online. The drama quickly escalated between the fans and the obstreperous rapper, with Minaj delivering a final set of tweets before vacating the e-premises: READ FULL STORY »

Buzz Aldrin schools Buzz Lightyear in space travel -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , ,

In March, a Buzz Lightyear toy that spent almost a year and a half orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station was formally inducted into the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. But that’s not the coolest part.

Before Buzz Lightyear the action figure, there was Buzz Aldrin the astronaut, who gave his Toy Story namesake a thorough crash course in preparation for the toy’s 2008 mission to space. In a clip that io9 dug up from 2010 (we call it charmingly vintage), watch Aldrin put Lightyear through a battery of tests, including a fitness assessment that looks remarkably like my own experience on the treadmill: READ FULL STORY »

'Giuliana & Bill' season premiere: Dealing with the big C

It makes me pretty uncomfortable when my reality TV is too sincere. That’s why I watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians and all of that show’s various mutations. Tonight’s season premiere Giuliana & Bill definitely fell in the former category. Of course, that’s to be expected, considering the season largely deals with G’s battle with the big C. For those over the age of 13: Giuliana has cancer.

The episode (like it was Lost) began with a 2-minute “previously on” segment to catch us up on the mythology and the fact that Giuliana and Bill were about to start the in vitro process once again. Now, if you’ve at all kept up with Giuliana the last few months, you know that in this instance, her in vitro led to her breast cancer diagnosis. (The mammogram she received was a requirement of this particular fertility center  — and it ended up, essentially, saving her life.) But in this episode, we saw the entire process play out, from receiving the news to the period where she kept her diagnosis a secret from those around her throughout award season. (Also, did you see the cameos from Colbie Smulders and Nina Dobrev?)

What struck me the most was how hard it all was to watch. After four seasons, I’ve grown to rather like the pair, who, to me, don’t seem anything like the out-of-touch celebriturds you usually see chronicled on TV. (You know, the ones we love mocking so much.) They seem like…regular people (whom I, apparently, creepily peer upon). People I’m rooting for.

At any rate, what did you think of the premiere, PopWatchers? Did you find yourself caring more than you think you should? And did you get a little teary watching G talk about having to give her mom the news about her cancer? (Guilty!) Share your thoughts below.

'Dancing With the Stars' to feature sneak peek of Disney doomsday film starring William Levy. Plus: Annie predicts season 14 finalists in EW's podcast

Okay, that’s not “true.” I just wanted to sneak in an April Fool’s Day headline while I still had the chance. Happy holidays to all.

But hear me out: This could happen. The Dancing With the Stars crowd’s reaction to sizzling filet of man William Levy — a Cuban-American telenovela actor and model — is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Brookebot and T-Berj can barely introduce him and his professional partner Cheryl Burke over the SOUL-DEADENING SCREAMS transmitted from three floors of fans. It’s like these visitors to Planet Mirrorballus have never seen a hot person before, and certainly not one from Cuba.

So far William Levy has worn a sleeveless shirt (to insane applause, for week 1′s cha cha — pictured) and a full-coverage black tie affair (to blood-curdling screams seemingly out of a horror movie, for week 2′s quickstep). I ask you, DANCMSTRs and fellow logicians: What is going to happen when William Levy wears no shirt at all? Will people drop dead from proximity to sexiness and the sight of his bare flesh? Will they screech until their heads explode? Now more than ever, I am frightened for our future. READ FULL STORY »

Charlie Sheen talks 'cringeable' behavior on 'Today.' Do we still care? -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , , , TV

Exactly one year ago, America was transfixed by the spectacle of Charlie Sheen, Hyperverbal Human Train Wreck. It was a simpler time: Catch phrases like “Duh, winning!” still had their luster, tickets for Sheen’s bonkers Torpedo of Truth Tour were still relatively pricey, and Sheen’s extended meltdown was still morbidly fascinating rather than just plain morbid.

But as seasons change and the 24-hour news cycle churns, yesterday’s scandal becomes today’s barely remembered curiosity. The Tragedy of Charlie has lost its sheen. Sure, we all gave a shocked chuckle when the former Two and a Half Men star called his onscreen brother a “troll.” But is it still amusing to listen to Sheen joke about, among other things, showing up on the set of his new show “covered in blood”?

You be the judge. Sheen stopped by Today this morning to chat with Matt Lauer about last year’s “cringeable” behavior and Anger Management, his upcoming FX comedy. READ FULL STORY »

Everyone’s favorite 2012 Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton is making waves on television… by looking hot. MTV and Adult Swim reportedly rejected a commercial for clothing company Zoo York, in which Upton can be seen jogging through Manhattan as a pair of foul-mouthed cockroaches profanely ogle the supermodel. Watch the uncensored Zoo York commercial below (WARNING: NSFW!). READ FULL STORY »

Let’s be clear: this is not Project Runway. There are no catty moments in the workroom, no frantic trips to Mood, and sadly no Tim Gunn. In fact, just to prove how hip and unlike that other show Fashion Star is, we open with sparks, motorcycles, and a lingerie runway show. Host Elle McPherson saunters down the runway flanked by two lingerie-clad models. I’m sure she said something really riveting at the end of that commotion but all I heard was, “America, this is a commercial for the lingerie collection that made me a multimillionaire on a show that isn’t about me — but here, look now. Be amazed.” READ FULL STORY »
