'NCIS' first look: Abby's awesome 'LA' crossover!
3 hours ago | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »
Crossover stunts have become as ubiquitous as season-ending character deaths. And let's face it, more times than not they're probably conceived at a network marketing retreat instead of inside a writers room — which is probably why many of them come off feeling like blatant ratings-boosting promotional gimmicks. But I'm here to tell you that this week's NCIS/NCIS: LA mash-up is different, and I can give you at least two reasons why. First off, it revolves around the undeniably awesome Pauley Perrette. And second, because it results in the first face-to-face encounter between Abby and Linda Hunt's Hetty »

Mark Ballas Warns: ‘Freestyle Routines Will Make or Break’ Finalists
6 hours ago | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
Dancing’s remaining three couples have been hitting the ballroom floor at warp speed the past five days to prepare four dances for the season nine two-night finale. Singers Mya and Donny Osmond, along with reality star Kelly Osbourne, have been working their tails off, season eight champ Mark Ballas tells People. “The freestyle routines will make it or break it for the finalists,” Ballas says, noting that now in his fifth season on Dwts, veteran pro dancer Louis van Amstel “is in his first finale ever. I’m so proud of him.” Van Amstel is working hard with Osbourne, »

Sneak Peek: Olivia Demands Respect from Erin
27 minutes ago | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
And you thought your job was bad. On the next episode of The City, the tension mounts between star Olivia Palermo and her colleague, Elle's PR Director Erin Kaplan, over wardrobe for a television shoot. After the two women disagree, Erin makes an executive decision to send some of the clothes back. "I know what the producers want," she says. "I've done more than my share of segments for TV." A visibly annoyed Olivia confronts her colleague for speaking to her dismissively. "Erin," she asks, "would you talk to [Creative Director] Joe [Zee] in the tone that you talk to me?" "You're not Joe, »

Joss Whedon to be Honored by Producers Guild
42 minutes ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Joss Whedon seems to be the jack of all trades. Fox can cancel as many of his shows as that they want, but other people are still lining up to give him awards and accolades. Ok, maybe not lining up, per se, but there's at least one organization that is honoring him.
The Producers Guild of America (PGA) will be presenting Whedon with the 2010 Vanguard Award at the 21st Annual PGA Awards ceremony on Sunday, January 24, 2010. The award is meant to recognize those with achievements in new media and technology, so it's likely that he's getting it for his efforts in branching out into new internet media with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (though it's likely meant to honor a culmination of his achievements). Past winners of the award include George Lucas, James Cameron and John Lasseter.
Whedon is a producer, writer, director, and creator for such hit television programs as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer, »

Holiday gift ideas keep coming from 'a galaxy far, far away'
1 hour ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
Black Friday is less than a week away, and if you're stumped for gift ideas for a boy anywhere in the family, you could do worse than going with Star Wars: The Clone Wars merchandise.
The show remains one of the highest rated programs for males aged 12-25. That's no surprise since boys have always been the cash cow of George Lucas' $3 billion empire (no pun intended).
Hasbro is the emperor of Star Wars toys (at least those for kids), and the company has a couple of new, higher end items for the 2009 holidays.
The Clone Wars Remote Control R2-D2 is pretty much as advertised. For about $30, you get a replica of a Death Star comm-link that controls the droid's movements, sounds and lights. A kid will have fun driving him around the house. But, the toy is more fun for adults if you imagine that every beep »

The Next Iron Chef: Season Finale - open thread
1 hour ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
So last night was the big battle between Chef Garces and Chef Mehta, the two finalists on Food Network's Next Iron Chef with two very different cooking styles. I didn't watch much of this season, but judging from last night's episode I wish I had. Jeffrey Steingarten is one of my favorite judges, and it's interesting to see other iron chefs in the judging chairs.
Did the right chef win?

Did J Lo Pull a Britney at The Ama?
1 hour ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
J Lo Falls On Her Ass
If you heard a soft 'thud' in the distance last night, it was J Lo's famous behind hitting the stage at the Ama. Many have observed that the aging pop princess appeared overly self conscious, out of shape, and completely lacking in convincing lip-syncing skills last night – and as if to punctuate that assessment, J Lo blew a move and wound up falling on her ass.
The situation had some not-so-pleasant echos of Britney Spear's 'comeback' performance at the MTV awards show. J Lo can still eck out a decent pack of pop bubble gum but, despite looking great at 40, seemed tastelessly under-dressed, and over choreographed. There was no comfort level in J Lo's performance, and she seemed to be dashing between a procession of disharmonious dance steps that looked more like Salvatore Daly's take on interpretive dance than a music exhibition.
Sadly for J Lo, »

Dancing's Maks Says the Pressure's on Donny, Wants a Radio Show

Hi everyone,
Thanks again for all of your comments. It's been such a long season. Can you believe it's the finals now?
From what I see, what I know and what the little birdie told me, the pressure is all on Donny. I was saying all along — and I think everyone has been saying all along — that this guy is going to be in the finals. He's in the finals now, but what is he going do? Kym has been in the finale before and I think she is going to try to outdo herself and will pull out some things for the freestyle.
It's kind of been a theme of this show that the freestyle wins the competition. I don't know what it is about it. There's where Gilles lost it last season. I don't know what happened with Mel and me. I've never heard a negative comment about »

Andy Richter: The TV Squad Interview
3 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
If you never managed to catch Andy Barker, P.I. when it originally aired two years ago, try not to beat yourself up. Though the show had an impressive cast, led by Andy Richter as a Cpa-turned-private-investigator, and including Harve Presnell, Tony Hale, Marshall Manesh, and Clea Lewis. It was also created by Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff. But it only lasted six episodes, and didn't seem to get much push from NBC. Watching it on the newly released DVD, Andy Barker, P.I.: The Complete Series, it's hard not to feel the show could have had legs if given the chance.
All's well that ends well, though, and Richter is happier than ever, paired again with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show, getting to do what he calls a "silly little comedy show" without dealing with the backwards world of the sitcom. I spoke with Richter earlier this week »

Looking to discuss last night's season finale of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and the latest episode of CBS' The Amazing Race? Head over to the Los Angeles Times/Show Tracker site where you can read my takes on both episodes, including last night's Seinfeld-centric season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm and the latest installment of CBS' The Amazing Race, which featured some whiny behavior, dirty gamesmanship, and a laughing opera singer.

That's right: It's finally over. After five long seasons of watching their marriage disintegrate, Jon and Kate Gosselin will finally air their last grievances ... er, episode on Monday at 9 p.m. on Tlc. So is there a final blowout in which they establish who gives up primary responsibility for the eight kids -- or who takes action on her hair and/or his fashion style? Nope, the pair sit down on that infamous couch to talk about the future, reflect on their pasts, and provide The Soup one last chance to mock their obliviousness.

Channel Surfing: Taylor Kitsch May Miss "Friday Night Lights"...
3 hours ago | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
Welcome to your Monday morning television briefing. Bad news for Tim Riggins fans. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Friday Night Lights executive producer Jason Katims has confirmed that Taylor Kitsch will "will miss part" of the production of Season Five of Friday Night Lights, due to his role in Disney's feature film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's "John Carter of Mars." But there's still hope that they can work around Kitsch's schedule. "We are communicating with the [John Carter] production to work out the schedule so that Taylor can be in as much of season 5 as possible," said Katims. Production begins on the fifth season in March. (Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files) HBO has given a pilot order to Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films for an untitled drama about a woman who walks out on her perfect marriage and children in order to fulfill her secret fantasies in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles. »

American Music Awards: J.Lo falls, Adam Lambert freaks out parents
4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
I had the American Music Awards on last night in the background, and for the most part it looked like a pretty standard awards show: People wore pretty dresses, played pianos suspended by wires, wore more makeup than their wives (I'm looking at you, Keith Urban), and simulated oral sex. Wait-- what?
Yeah, so for once, Lady Gaga's performance, which involved smashing a plate-glass window and setting a piano on fire wasn't the most interesting performance of the night. Instead, everyone is talking about two people: Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert. Lopez's unfortunate fall during her performance of "Louboutins" probably mortified her, but it wasn't the most awkward thing to happen during the ceremony. That distinction goes to American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert's decidedly non-family-friendly performance.
You can check out both videos after the jump.

Mall Cops coming to TV
4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
I am sorry to report that Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Seth Rogen in Observe and Report have started a phenomenon, because a new reality series called Mall Cops: Mall of America is coming to Tlc. This is what happens when two movies that are superficially related to each other get released in close chronological proximity.
Granted, the Mall of America is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) malls in America and there is likely more than a fair share of crimes that go on there during any given day. I just wonder if the show is going to hire its own criminals to commit felonies in the mall just to keep things interesting.
I can see it now: the season deals with standard problems like shoplifters and lost children until the season finale which ends in a hostage situation cliffhanger. Want to see the »
