SNL With Mick Jagger (and a Farewell to Kristen Wiig): Best and Worst Skits?
20 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Kristen Wiig got an emotional send-off as she made her final curtain call during the season finale of Saturday Night Live. It’s just too bad that the episode as a whole didn’t provide a funnier last impression for the fabulous comedienne, Oscar-nominated earlier this year for her excellent Bridesmaids screenplay.
It didn’t help, of course, that host Mick Jagger struggled mightily from tepid opening monologue to a final sketch, where his attempt to pull off a “California” accent was so strained, the Rolling Stones frontman appeared to be on the brink of an aneyurism. And Jagger didn »

Review: You Can't Go Home Again In Maybe The Best Episode Yet Of 'Girls'
2 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Season 1, Episode 6: "The Return" Over the last couple of episodes we've lamented that Lena Dunham's "Girls" has taken a turn towards the sitcom, with episodes that have favored wacky shenanigans over the humanity and heart -- and the humor that followed -- that opened the season on such a strong footing. Well, we're happy to report that "The Return" harkens back to those initial shows, and marks easily one of the best episodes this season so far. While we've been critical of the softball, superfluous subplots given to Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet), it's a bit revealing that with the story centering strictly on Hannah (Dunham), it allows for some of the most focused and observant writing we've seen yet on the show. Celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, her parents invite Hannah out to Michigan to spend the weekend with them. Loading up her clothes in a garbage bag, »

'Mad Men Season 5 Episode 510 'Christmas Waltz': Don Draper really is back
2 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
With three episodes left of Season 5, the tension on "Mad Men" shifted into high gear on Sunday's (May 20) episode, "Christmas Waltz." Here's the one-sentence summary: Don Draper's head is back in the game, Lane Pryce is dancing on the edge of financial ruin (and possibly a precipice) and it turns out that Harry Crane, official Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce d-bag, isn't a total tool after all.
Don's back: At the end of the episode, Don (Jon Hamm) re-engaged in the work of Scdp and it's a good thing because if Don's happy, so goes the firm. What convinced him? A domino effect: Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) suggested Don drive a Jaguar. Thanks to Joan (Christina Hendricks), drunk-driving a Jaguar sports car gets him fired up about the product. Finally, an irate Megan (Jessica Paré) -- who gets his attention by throwing her dinner plate at the wall and ordering him to »

Billboard Awards 2012: Katy Perry channels Pink for 'Wide Awake' performance -- watch now
4 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
When she stood up to accept her Spotlight award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, Katy Perry made sure to tell everyone at home to stay tuned -- she'd be hitting the stage again a little later. "I want to say that these songs have been kind of like the diary of my last two years," she told the audience. "And tonight, later when I get on the stage, I'm going to be singing my personal most intimate song for you this evening, a song that I wrote for this little film I have coming out Fourth of July weekend. You've got to go see it."
Given her very public breakup with husband Russell Brand earlier this year, it's hard not to connect the lyrics of "Wide Awake," her song choice for the evening, with her personal turmoil. Wearing a cameo around her neck and a bridal gown, with mournful expressions »

'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
4 hours ago | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Aubrey O'Day was still bitter about not making the final two on "The Celebrity Apprentice" (Sun., 9 p.m. Et on NBC). In the season finale, the third place finisher performed "I Will Survive" and gave Donald Trump a hard glare on the line, "You did me wrong."
She made sure the audience knew it, too, explaining her move later. Ultimately, though, it wasn't about Aubrey O'Day. It was about whether or not Donald Trump would hire Arsenio Hall or Clay Aiken. In their final challenge, Aiken raised nearly twice as much money as Hall did, but Hall had that perfect track record as a project manager. But he also had that very ugly blow-up with O'Day -- their feud pretty much ran the entire length of the season.
So who won in the end? Trump said he'd never been so torn, while Entertainment Weekly pointed out that this was going »

Lisa Makes Lady Gaga Cry On 'The Simpsons'
4 hours ago | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Lady Gaga wants nothing more than for all her little monsters to be happy all the time, and she apparently has a psychic sense when someone is happy. It was that sense that convinced her to pull her Gaga Train into Springfield to try and cheer up one unhappy citizen on "The Simpsons" (Sun., 8 p.m. Et on Fox) season finale.
After winning an award as the least popular kid at school, Lisa Simpsons faked a message board posting about herself to try and convince the other kids she wasn't as bad as they all thought. But when she got caught, her situation only went from bad to worse, and she was inconsolable.
Finally, in a fit of rage over Gaga's relentless pursuit of happiness and joy -- so much so that she followed Lisa home in an attempt to cheer her up -- Lisa lashed out at the pop »

Mad Men Recap 9: Christmas Waltz
4 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
In watching Mad Men episode 5.10, Christmas Waltz, my first thought was not about the episode's theme. In fact, at first, a theme didn't emerge. Instead, my first thought was how much fun this episode is. I haven’t been complaining about the season; last week got some bad reviews but I was fine with it, and the season overall has had some amazing episodes (Mystery Date and Far Away Places in particular), but this feels different. This feels like perfect Mad Men, everything we love about it. Scary, unpredictable, heart-stopping in its tense moments, laugh-out-loud funny, sexy, insightful . . . all the great Mad Men things. In fact, I’m pleased that a theme didn't present itself in an obvious way tonight. By being fun, funny, and surprising, Christmas Waltz engaged our interest without having to announce itself. The episode is also brilliant and unassuming, in that it doesn't have to stand »

Maureen Ryan: 'Mad Men' Recap: Flirting WIth Danger
5 hours ago | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Do not read on unless you've seen Season 5, Episode 10 of AMC's "Mad Men," entitled "Christmas Waltz."
I'm in New York for Monday's Peabody Awards ceremony (and feel free to follow my Twitter for updates on that event). But my weekend has been very busy with travel and other things, and then, as I settled in to my hotel on Sunday night to watch "Mad Men," I realized my hotel does not carry AMC.
So there was a moment of panic.
Thanks to some help from a fan of the show (thank you, Carla Day!), I was able to find a legal way to watch "Mad Men" on Sunday night. But due to time constraints and various other factors, I wasn't able to watch the episode twice, as I normally do, and I wasn't able to take copious notes on my second viewing, another thing I normally do when I'm writing about the show. »

'Mob Wives' Reunion: Drita Storms Off The Set
5 hours ago | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Joy Behar had a little trouble keeping the "Mob Wives" (Sun., 8 p.m. Et on VH1) on a short leash during the first of a two-part cast reunion after the most recent season. Behard was acting as the host/referee.
Drita and Ramona have been going at one another since the first episode of the season, and they picked right up as if no time had passed.
They were made even more furious when security wouldn't let them simply fight it out. So the women decided to make it an open invitation to meet up outside of the show and finish what the cameras and security never seem to allow them to finish.
And with that, Drita stormed off the set, though she won't stay gone for good. The whole gang will be back for more reminiscing and more fighting next week. Maybe Karen will get a chance to speak. »

'Girls': She learns from that fun
5 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
In "The Return," "Girls" puts the magnifying glass on Hannah (Lena Dunham) -- she heads home to Michigan for a weekend, leaving Adam, her financial woes and her college friends out of sight (but not out of mind).
During the visit, Hannah's childish habits persist: She avoids the rent money conversation, packs her clothes in garbage bags and fibs about her life in the big city. Interestingly, Hannah's mother is a bit of a drama queen herself (she pesters her daughter about texting during a Netflix night, and begs for her menopause prescription). At one point, Mrs. Horvath comments that Hannah "knows how to have fun... and she thinks about that fun, and she learns from that fun," while implying that Hannah learned that sort of behavior from her.
The episode pokes fun at the narrative of returning home from the big city. Hannah is just as insecure and idiosyncratic »

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 4, Episode 5 of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."
Love is patient, love is kind, love doesn't tell you to go Beep yourself in a leased car, does it? The show opens with a beautiful look into Teresa and Juicy Joe's incredibly supportive relationship. Since he wasn't at the pool party from hell, he has no idea that Teresa and her brother attempted to emotionally drown each other. How does he feel about their chat? "You're a Beeping idiot for even going to Beeping talk with your Beeping retard brother," he shouts. Teresa explains that Joe reacts this way because he's a loser douche-bag "total Gemini!"

'Celebrity Apprentice': Arsenio Hall wins Donald Trump's stamp of approval and $250,000 for the Magic Johnson Foundation

Eighteen celebrities entered Donald Trump's boardroom during the first episode of this season's "The Celebrity Apprentice," but in the end it all came down to former late-night host Arsenio Hall and "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken. So who emerged victorious, winning $250,000 for his charity?
Trump announced Sunday (May 20) night during the live "Celebrity Apprentice" finale that Arsenio is the winner.
For their final challenge, Arsenio and Clay were tasked with creating an ad and a fundraising event with a variety show for their respective charities -- the National Inclusion Project for Clay and the Magic Johnson Foundation for Arsenio. Clay and Arsenio both created great videos and events, entertaining the crowd with a stellar comedy lineup -- including Adam Carolla and Lisa Lampanelli -- and singers like Debbie Gibson and Aubrey O'Day. In the end, Arsenio's team raised more than $160,000, while Clay's team raised an astounding $301,500.

2012 Billboard Music Awards: Carly Rae Jepsen shows up Justin Bieber
6 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
By now, you've heard Carly Rae Jepsen's insanely catchy single, "Call Me Maybe," about 600 times thanks to the "repeat" button in your iTunes. But have you ever heard her live? The Canadian singer unleashed her addictive tune at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards almost immediately after her mentor Justin Bieber -- and kinda showed him up.
While Biebs went for the full production number, with a crew of backup dancers and plenty of dance breakdowns, his live vocals suffered for it. (He's a great singer, we know this, but he wasn't at his best.)
Jepsen, on the other hand, kept it simple with her band, a few backup singers in weird wigs, and her energetic self. Clad in skintight shiny silver pants and a green top. While we loved her skip-walk around the stage, she seemed a tad awkward with all that space to fill. Maybe it would've been better if »

'I Will Always Love You': Jordin Sparks or Jennifer Hudson or Jessica Sanchez - which 'American Idol' did it best?
6 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
For the Whitney Houston tribute at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks sang Whitney's biggest hit, "I Will Always Love You." So, let's find out - which "Idol" has done the iconic song the best?
Jennifer Hudson took on the big number for the 2012 Grammys tribute to Whitney, while "Idol" Season 11 finalist Jessica Sanchez performed it during Whitney Houston week on the show this year.
"Idol" third-place finisher Syesha Mercado performed the song during Season 7, while earlier in Season 11, Ashley Robles auditioned with "I Will Always Love You" in San Diego. Which lady do you think did it best?
All versions are embedded below except for Jordin Sparks, whose video we'll post just as soon as we have it. But for now, vote in our poll! (Is it total blasphemy that we actually think Sanchez has done the song best out of this group?)

'Celebrity Apprentice': Aubrey O'Day's blond again and Dayana Mendoza has no love for Lisa Lampanelli

During the two-hour live finale for "The Celebrity Apprentice" on NBC Sunday (May 20) night, Donald Trump welcomed the previously fired contestants to the stage (minus Cheryl Tiegs and Michael Andretti, though his dad, Mario Andretti, did drive Donald Trump to the live show) -- including Victoria Gotti, George Takei, Tia Carrere, Patricia Velasquez, Lou Ferrigno, Dayana Mendoza, Aubrey O'Day, Lisa Lampanelli, Teresa Giudice, Dee Snider, Penn Jillette, Lisa Lampanelli, Debbie Gibson and Adam Carolla.
Find out who won "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Here are a few things we learned:
- Lou had surgery for his hearing impairment. "For the first time in my life I can hear without a hearing aid," he tells Donald.
- Dayana has nothing positive to say about Lisa, but Lisa thinks Dayana's crying impersonation of her was hilarious. "I think she's great," Lisa says about Dayana. "I love being made fun of. I dish it out and I can take it. »

Billboard Music Awards 2012 Whitney Houston tribute and Bobbi Kristina accepts the Millenium Award on her behalf
7 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards did a tribute to the late Whitney Houston and it was quite a bit smoother and more polished than the slap-dash tribute to Donna Summer. But we digress.
John Legend first performed "Greatest Love of All" and then "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks performed "I Will Always Love You." Both were fine - but just once, we'd like to see an awards show trot out Nicki Minaj to do the "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" remix or something like that. We bet Whitney would really enjoy that.
Following the singing, Whitney's sister-in-law Pat Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina took to the stage to accept Whitney's Millenium Award from Billboard. Pat spoke first, introducing Bobbi, "Tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most and treasured most. It's her daughter, Bobbi."
Bobbi seemed very touched by not only tonight's tribute, »

If you have yet to watch Sunday’s Celebrity Apprentice climax, hit the nearest exit. Everyone else, read on…
Just like on American Idol, the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice ended with a confetti shower.
Unfortunately for Clay Aiken, the parallels between the two veteran reality programs didn’t end there. Despite besting rival Arsenio Hall in the final challenge of the season by a $301,500 to $167,100 margin, Aiken once again played the role of bridesmaid in the final minutes of the show. The judges’ panel of Donald Trump, his hair, and his uneven spray tan named Hall the winner, giving »

Crystal Bell: 'Girls' Recap: Michigan State Of Mind In 'The Return'
7 hours ago | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 1, Episode 6 of HBO's "Girls," entitled, "The Return."
If there's one takeaway from this week's episode of "Girls," it's that mom always knows best. The last time we saw Hannah's mom, she was shouting, "No more money," and dreaming of buying a "f---ing lake house." Now, we come to find out that the only reason she ever wanted to cut Hannah off was to give her something to write about. Awwww, mom!
In "The Return," Hannah goes home to Michigan to celebrate her parents' anniversary. Before leaving, Marnie tells Hannah that she needs to ask her parents for money. Having just quit her job, Hannah is in desperate need of some cash. Her cupcake fund in running low! (And the rent is seemingly due at some point in this series.)
Trash bag in hand, Hannah arrives in Michigan. Yes, I said trash bag. »
