Another stop on the “American Idol” audition tour, another celebrity judge filling in for Paula Abdul.

People.com has confirmed that Shania Twain will be the next singing star to join Simon, Randy and Kara on the judges’ panel. She’ll help cover the Chicago round on Aug. 30-31.

Twain follows Mary J. Blige, who helped out in Atlanta [...]

The new lineup for ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” includes the usual suspects:

A former Olympian (Natalie Coughlin), one-time supermodel (Kathy Ireland), washed-up singers (Donny Osmond, Aaron Carter, Macy Gray), C-list actors (Melissa Joan Hart, Ashley Hamilton) and a presumably rhythm-challenged athlete (Michael Irvin).

And then there’s the one competitor that suggests that something is seriously [...]

If you just can’t wait until the Sept. 17 premiere of NBC’s new comedy, “Community,” you don’t have to!

The full pilot episode is available on the sitcom’s Facebook page. And if you like what you see – and how couldn’t you? The show stars super-funny Joel McHale of E!’s “The Soup” and brought Bedford’s Chevy [...]

Since “Gossip Girl” is one of the most stylin’ shows on the tube – and its stars routinely make red carpet best dressed lists  – it makes sense that the fashion world would be clamoring for cameos.

So the Women’s Wear Daily report that fashion designers Tory Burch (top) and Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman will be making [...]

The Yonkers-born, Grammy winning superstar will be in Atlanta today to help out with the next round of auditions, following up on Victoria “Posh” Beckham’s stint in Boston.

The two ladies are stepping in [...]

Lost-philes have been buzzing all summer about the dead (or possibly dead) island castaways we’ll see returning in some form to the island next season.

Daniel, Juliet, Charlie, Claire, Boone and Shannon are either confirmed or all but confirmed for a comeback.

But what about Mr. Eko?

While making the rounds to promote “G.I. Joe,” actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje [...]

It’s not like I didn’t love “Gossip Girl” before, but I’m now officially IN LOVE with this show.

Entertainment Weekly reports that one of my favorite bands from the ‘80s and early ‘90s – SONIC YOUTH – will perform on the upcoming season’s fifth episode. (Whee! Kim Gordon is a rock goddess…)

Turns out that showrunner Stephanie [...]

I probably don’t need to repeat that if you don’t want a morsel of scoop on the final season of “Lost,” then STOP READING NOW.

But if you do, here’s the latest from the jungle rumor mill…

You know that wacky plan to reset time by detonating a nuclear bomb?

It may have actually WORKED.

Greg Grunberg, the “Heroes” [...]

“American Idol” may have lost Paula, but the show is wasting no time locking down its meanest, but arguably, most important judge: Simon Cowell.

Simon will continue with the singing competition for at least three more seasons, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

On an earnings call earlier today, the parent company of “AI” co-producer 19 Entertainment [...]

They’re baaaaack.

Well, almost.

It’s only a month until the gang from “Gossip Girl” returns for a third season on Sept. 14 (at a new time, 9 p.m.), and once again, the CW is rolling out a set of controversial promos.

Much like last year’s “OMFG” campaign, this season’s tagline is “WTF.”

Hey, it’s not what you’re thinking, potty-mouths! [...]

As a huge fan of the original cheese-tastic ‘80s miniseries, I’ve been looking forward to ABC’s remake of “V,” starring Elizabeth Mitchell from “Lost.”

Over the weekend, the network finally announced the show’s premiere date: Tues., Nov. 3. That’s late for a season premiere, but earlier than expected, since the series had been trumpeted as a [...]

Only one episode of FOX’s new dramedy, “Glee,” has aired, but I’m already a total Gleek.

Are you? The show’s looking for Gleeks like us to come out and support cast members who are touring the country this month.

Actors Cory Monteith (Finn), Lea Michele (Rachel), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Kevin McHale [...]

And America’s Favorite Dancer is…

JEANINE!

The 18-year-old Miami girl was the Little Engine That Could this season, chugging along with quiet determination in the early stages, only to bring on a burst of fiery energy at the end to win the competition.

Jeanine took the crown after fans cast a record-breaking 21.6 million votes, which allowed her [...]

Remember how I said last week that I didn’t care who won “So You Think You Can Dance” this season?

Well, in a surprising last-minute turnaround, I now have a favorite Final Four dancer.

It might not be your choice, America. But in my book, this contestant made all the right moves in the last performance show [...]

Yes, it’s true: We won’t have Paula Abdul to kick around anymore. Well, not on “American Idol,” anyway.

Paula announced that she’s leaving the show in a series of Twitter messages late yesterday. And don’t think this is just another ploy for more money in her contract negotiations. That trick apparently failed – she reportedly wanted [...]

The CW will be doing a little cross-promoting this season, with “America’s Next Top Model” host Tyra Banks appearing on the Oct. 5 episode of “Gossip Girl.”

Sources tell E! Online that Tyra won’t be guest starring as herself; instead, she’ll play an uber-diva actress named Ursula.

This storyline seems to shed a little light on what [...]

Dominic Monaghan’s surprise appearance at last weekend’s Comic-Con seemed to confirm those rumors that we’ll be seeing more of Charlie Pace in the final season of “Lost.”

But what exactly does that mean? Are we talking one fleeting Libby-like apparition? Or a full-blown season-long storyline?

Well, E! Online is reporting that Monaghan is signed, sealed and set [...]

People magazine is reporting that infamous “American Idol” fourth judge (and occasional bikini model) Kara DioGuardi will be back for the show’s ninth season.

But will there be three or four judges in the next round? There’s still no official word on whether Paula Abdul will be returning.

And something tells me that neither lady is going [...]

So the Top 4 dancers who’ll be competing in next week’s finale are Kayla, Brandon, Jeanine and…EVAN?!?

America, I’m thrilled you got three-quarters of the results right. But Evan? Seriously, people, ARE YOU BLIND?!?

Did Evan hypnotize you with those heavy-lidded eyes of his, making you suddenly feel sleepy and wanting to pick up the phone?

Were you [...]

I know picking on Evan is a bit like kicking a sick puppy.

But let’s face it, when the judges say you’re a standout compared to the other guys only because they expected you to suck, but you didn’t?  Then it’s time for you to hit the streets, pal.

If Evan makes it to next week’s finale [...]
