Some 14.5 million people were singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" last week, making Fox's coverage of Major League Baseball's All-Star Game the most-watched telecast of the week. (The figure represented only the primetime segment of the telecast, which stretched past 1:00 a.m. as the game went into extra innings. From 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., it averaged 11 million viewers, more than the number that watched any other show in primetime during the week.) The game also helped Fox win the week, making it a rare win for the network during the summer months. Its Wednesday edition of So You Think You Can Dance also made it into Nielsen's top ten. Fox averaged a 4.5 rating and an 8 share for the week. CBS placed second with a 4.3/8. NBC took third place with a 3.6/7, while ABC trailed with a 2.9/5.

The NBA Finals closer between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics -- a game that must have been painful for Lakers' fans to watch (the L.A. team was brutally trounced 131-92), drew strong ratings despite the blowout. The ABC telecast averaged a 7.3 rating and a 12 share during the primetime period from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., edging out the return of America's Got Talent on NBC, which posted a 7.1/12. (At its primetime peak at 10:30 p.m. the game drew 13.61 million viewers.) Basketball was also the name of the game last week as three televised games wound up as the most-watched television shows of the week. Nevertheless, CBS prevailed again among overall households, averaging a 4.9 rating and a 9 share. ABC and Fox tied with a 4.3/8, while NBC trailed with a 3.8/7. The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:1. NBA Finals - Game 5, ABC, 10.2/19; 2. NBA Finals - Game 3, ABC, 9.2/16; 3. NBA Finals - Game 4, ABC, 8.7/16; 4. NCIS, CBS, 6.9/12; 4.

The media storm that is Denise Richards has recently launched her reality series, Denise Richards: It's Complicated.  The E! series, which follows the now-single mother of two as she raises her three and four-year-old kids, has garnered a lot of buzz even before its debut, thanks to the harsh exchanges of Richards and ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.  The Two and a Half Men star recently got married for the third time, but this doesn't mean his media feud with Richards is over.  In fact, it's far from it.

"[Charlie Sheen] loves to trash me in the press and discredit me and has tried to sabotage my show," Denise Richards told Reuters.  "I can't change that, so I just keep living my life. I hope that now that he's married, he can move forward and be civil."

Moreover, Richards sees the reality show as a way to directly reach the public, who constantly watch the divorce saga,

The first two games of the NBA finals produced the best initial ratings for the championship series in four years. Sunday's telecast, which drew 13.5 million viewers, attracted an audience that was 60 percent larger than the comparable game a year ago. Although it did not land in the top ten (largely because three shows tied for ninth place) the new CBS drama Swingtown got off to a solid start with 9 million viewers. Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes said that the show received "a promo shot in the arm" from the Parents Television Council, which urged CBS stations to drop it because of its allegedly salacious content. The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:1. NBA Finals - Game 1, ABC, 8.7/16; 2. NBA Finals - Game 2, ABC, 8.5/15; 3. 60 Minutes, CBS, 6.5/13; 3.

While we know Ashton Kutcher for his wacky stunts on Punk’d and That ‘70s Show and his brainchild, Beauty and the Geek, more recently, the actor has tended to some serious matters, including last week’s exclusive Butterfly Ball benefiting Chrysalis, a Los Angeles-based organization which aims to help homeless men and women find jobs and homes as well.  Joining Kutcher at the event was Demi Moore, and newly-weds Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller.

“We love it, and we really believe in it,” Moore said before the event, the Associated Press reports.

At the purple carpet entrance before the event, Sheen and Mueller caught the attention of the media as it was the couple’s first appearance as husband and wife.  In fact, the Two and a Half Men star and the Mueller, a real estate agent, began dating last summer after meeting at the Chrysalis event of 2006.  However,

Newlywed Charlie Sheen got married in a cheap suit from a discount store.

Rather than pick an expensive designer to create a fancy outfit for his wedding to Brooke Mueller on Friday, took a trip to the Men's Wearhouse near his Los Angeles home.

The most expensive suit at the store is $599.99 (GBP300) - a bargain for the wealthy Two and a Half Men star.

Sheen explains, "I like their commercials a lot.

"I got tired of $3,000 suits falling apart in the middle of certain events. I didn't wear a tux because they're hot and they don't breathe."

There may not have been a lot on to watch, but that shouldn't detract too much from the glee coming from ABC after its one-time signature show finished the week in first place with its big season finale. "Lost" ended up attracting 12.3 million viewers for the week, finishing ahead of a special "Two and a Half Men" as well as the new CBS gameshow "Password" to win the week for ABC. However, overall viewing was down "significantly" compared to the previous week, according to CNN, since many network scripted shows ended their season runs when May Sweeps was done. But that's still a nice little coup for "Lost" which has had questionable ratings the past two seasons. The top five filled out with "60 Minutes" and "Ncis" with at least 9.77 million viewers, giving CBS almost a clean ...
