We thought we couldn’t love Tim Gunn any more than we already did after watching him play something of a kindly expert uncle on Project Runway for years, drawing others out of their shells while lending a supportive ear. But on today’s episode of ABC’s The Revolution, which focused on jumpstarting your sex life, the very private style guru put himself out there, revealing that he hasn’t had sex in 29 years. Yes, 29 years. Watch the clip after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Adrianne Palicki on 'Criminal Minds': Tyra Collette is back -- and ready to kill
Amanda Meredith/PR Photos
Of all the well-drawn characters from Friday Night Lights, Tyra Collette, played by Adrianne Palicki, is closest to my heart. She’s a girl who isn’t girly, a lover (and a fighter), and way taller and hotter and quicker than anyone should rightfully be. Consequently, I was one of the few tuning in when Fox’s Lone Star premiered, keyed up for a second coming of Palicki that, according to predictions, was going to be long-lasting. (Aaaaaaand we know how that turned out.)
But, now!: Palicki is back on the air! For her first gig since that beloved, but ill-fated, one, she’s guest-starring on an episode of Criminal Minds set to air in early 2011, according to Deadline. Her character is Syd, “a tough, irreverent, and sexually manipulative lunatic who sets out on a cross-country killing spree with her badass sociopathic husband Ray (The Black Donnellys’ Jonathan Tucker).” It’s an apparently conscious homage to the original lunatic couple — Mickey and Mallory of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, who shag and murder across the American Southwest.
SPOILER ALERT to my life: I’ve never watched Criminal Minds. Still, I’m excited. Adrianne is nothing if not tough and irreverent. As for sexually manipulative, I think there’s a Landry out there who can answer that. Now lets see if we can pull a reverse Lone Star and stir up so many views, this one-off turns into something regular — somewhere. Will you watch with me, PopWatchers?

'The A-List: New York' premiere recap: Did you love it or hate it?
Image Credit: Ana Veslic/LogoLast night, gay-focused cable channel Logo premiered its somewhat-anticipated reality series, The A-List: New York, a Real Housewives-esque look at the lives of five apparently important gay men in New York City. (It’s worth noting up front that A-List is produced by True Entertainment, the minds behind The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which celebrated its third-season premiere last night, too.) As you might expect, much of this first hour was spent introducing us to the men who make up the cast. Each got a little vignette where we learned who (and how bitchy) they are, what they do, who they’re dating, and how impressive their six-pack is (or isn’t). Here’s a quick dossier on the “rich and gaymous” men of The A-List: New York:
Reichen Lehmkuhl, aka The One You’ve Probably-Maybe Heard Of
Claim to fame: Winner of The Amazing Race; former boyfriend of ‘N Sync’s Lance Bass.
A-List activities include: Starring in the off-Broadway musical My Big Gay Italian wedding; canoodling with hunky Brazilian boyfriend Rodiney, who’s the surprisingly hilarious breakout of the show because his broken English — which isn’t that bad — propelled Logo to subtitle all of his dialogue (!).
Token A-List quote: “I’m A-List because, for me, A stands for accomplishment.”
Loves: To take himself way too seriously.
Mike Ruiz, aka The Celebrity Photographer
Claim to fame: He’s shot everyone from Adam Lambert and Carmen Electra to Brooke Shields and Kim Kardashian READ FULL STORY »

'Reno 911' cast reunite to watch porn parody: What other TV shows could use a little sexing up?
Image Credit: Dan Longmire/Comedy CentralThe cast of the former Comedy Central series Reno 911! got together for a night of fond reminiscences and moderate pornography. Members of the Biggest Little City’s police squad, including Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Niecy Nash, gathered earlier this week watch a porn parody of their comedy show, a potentially dubious distinction that Lennon nonetheless dubbed “the highest honor.”
Clearly, the Reno crew, many of whom already knew each other from the great sketch comedy show The State, has a good sense of humor about stuff like this, but it got us thinking: What other shows’ reunions could best be precipitated by a porno parody? Below are some possibilities I thought of. And although it seems pretty clear, these are PG-13 NSFW, so if you’re easily offended, please move on.

'American Idol' audition sites announced. Let's hear it for East Rutherford, N.J.!
Image Credit: VisionsofAmerica/Joe Sohm/Photodisc/Getty ImagesThe next edition of American Idol is all ready to start chugging away, with season 10 auditions kicking off July 17. (Be sure to read Michael Slezak’s despairing post about the decision to lower the minimum age to 15.) Among the hallowed, music-mad cities that are hosting Idol hopefuls: Nashville, Tenn., New Orleans, La., Austin, Texas, and…East Rutherford, N.J.
I sense you’re laughing. You should stop. East Rutherford — like much of New Jersey — has a long, storied history of disrespect, living as it does in the shadow of New York City. But the facts are these: The city is home to the Meadowlands Sports Complex, which includes the new Giants Stadium and the Izod Center (where the Idol auditions will take place). The New York Giants and the New York Jets don’t even acknowledge their New Jersey-ness in their names, and even the Meadowlands teams that do can’t burnish East Rutherford’s reputation. At one point in 2003, both the New Jersey Nets basketball team and the New Jersey Devils hockey team were vying for their respective championships and, according to the NY Times, the mayor still had to deal with questions from reporters who asked “What is East Rutherford?” (The Nets are in the process of leaving the Meadowlands, and, eventually, the state, but surely one cannot blame the people of East Rutherford.) Now that Idol is planting a flag in New Jersey soil, can we all rise up in defense of East Rutherford as the new MusicTown U.S.A.? Anyone?

'Lost': Josh Holloway on Jimmy Kimmel with clip from Sunday's finale!
Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night obsesh with Lost just doesn’t stop. Last night, the comedian had Josh Holloway, aka Sawyer, from ABC’s trippy, soon-to-end drama stop by, and the always charming actor — gasp! — wouldn’t even reveal the end of the series. What’s with that? The cutie-pie did, however, cover a wide range of topics with Kimmel, ranging from how Matthew Fox always knew more about what was going to happen with the show than he did, how he predicted that the island would move, and how the “cage stuff” from the earlier seasons were some of his favorite scenes. And! He talked about how he’s always mistaken for Kid Rock — and just goes with it. Hehe. Oh, and Jimmy pulls out a clip from the finale, too! Watch Holloway’s interview, which includes the finale footage, in two parts here:

Crystal Bowersox of 'American Idol': See a stunning, Jewel-toned performance from 1999 here
American Idol‘s Crystal Bowersox has talked about Jewel’s influence on her, but I don’t think any of us realized how deep that influence went…until now. A video has hit the internets of a teen-aged Crystal singing at a show in 1999, and she’s working the Jewel realness fiercely. While looking supremely cute and understated, Crystal opens her mouth and you’re instantly transported to the mid-’90s, specifically to songs like “You Were Meant for Me” and “Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel. Granted, Crystal very much has her own thing going on, but you can’t deny that Jewel-ness of young Crystal in the video, which you can watch here:

Shonda Rhimes' pilot 'Off the Map' gets picked up. Get ready for another doctor drama!
Image Credit: Albert L. Ortega/PR PhotosEW’s Michael Ausiello reported this afternoon that Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice exec producer Shonda Rhimes will be even busier this fall, now that her medical drama Off the Map was picked up by ABC. Starring Enrique Murciano (Without a Trace), Jason George (Grey’s), Caroline Dhavernas (Wonderfalls), and Martin Henderson, Map follows a team of medical professionals who start work at a tropical island clinic. It will be interesting to see how this series pans out — I remain a dedicated Grey’s fan (yes, even through the dark days of Gizzie and ghost sex), but I’ve never really gotten into Private Practice. Here’s hoping a third round of meds won’t represent diminishing returns. But, hey, if anyone can pull three medical dramas off, Rhimes can, right? And shouldn’t every series be set on a tropical island?

Exclusive: ABC soaps get mashed up: Erica and Sonny? Ryan and Carly?
Image Credit: Carol Kaelson/ABC; Patrick Wymore/ABCWith almost an equal number of partners, kids, and scandals between them, ever wonder what Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) and Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) would have to say to each other? Well, ABC will give you a chance to find out with a series of 10 webisodes showing well-known characters from All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital interacting with one another. They’ll be taped this month but will air on abc.com and soapnet.com (and in shorter form on ABC and SOAPnet) beginning in July.
“We are always looking for ways to drive deeper viewer engagement with our fans,” said Adam Rockmore, SVP Marketing ABC Daytime and SOAPnet. “These webisodes are a fun way to answer a long-standing fan question about what would happen in a soap-mash-up.”
One Life to Live‘s executive producer, Frank Valentini, will direct the 4-minute long scripted webisodes. The pairings will be: READ FULL STORY »

'Chuck' fans plan SOS flash mobs. Have you ever tried to save a favorite show?
Image Credit: Mitchell HaasethApparently last year’s Subway sandwich campaign wasn’t enough. Because, as you might have guessed, NBC’s geek action adventure series Chuck is on the bubble yet again. This time, though, fans aren’t using silly cold cuts and squeezy-bottle mayonnaise to save their show—nope, instead they’re planning flash mobs! Chuck fans are set to gather, all dressed in the Buy More-style clothing of the show (see Zac Levi’s apparel, at left), and stage themed rallies in Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, and Philadelphia on Monday. The idea was hatched by Chuck fansite, ChuckTV.net, which also launched the Subway-based “Finale and a Footlong” campaign last season.
Talk about extreme measures, Chuck fans. Part of me wonders if every show—remember the save Jericho effort, which found fans sending zillions of pounds of nuts to CBS—should only get one such save-our-show campaign? Because it seems like this plan, even if it does succeed to save the show for another season, is only staving off the inevitable, which is cancellation.
But based on this news, I wanna hear from you: What have you done to save your favorite shows? Anything? Network deliveries? Demonstrations? Some sort of ritual sacrifice? Or maybe just a strongly-worded email? Lemme know below… I bet you all have good stories.
