AP - The night of poetry began with the verse of Emily Dickinson set to television music, peaked with a shaman-esque chant by Patti Smith and ended with Alec Baldwin making good on his college English studies with a flawless recital of Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee."


‘Cougar Town’: A historical lesson brought to you by Richard Stands

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 09:17 PM PDT

Last night's Cougar Town taught us a valuable lesson about embarrassment: You can't hear the world laughing at you if you're laughing harder. (Or in Andy's case, if you have pool water stuck in your ear.) It also taught us the importance of a good history lesson. If you don't learn the simple stuff, you

From Prison Mike to (Almost) Married Man: The Evolution of The Office's Michael Scott

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 08:13 PM PDT

On Thursday, viewers will say goodbye (and probably one or two final "that's what she saids") to Steve Carell as he prepares to exit The Office. But how did we get here? Since the first season, all Michael Scott has ever wanted was to get married and reproduce ("100 kids" so he would have "100 friends," to be exact), but there were times when most fans — and most of his co-workers — didn't think he'd have such a...


American Idol Episode Recap: The Top 6 Perform

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 08:12 PM PDT

What a difference a week makes on American Idol. Just seven days ago, the contestants were singing hits from the past decade, including a couple currently on the charts. Tonight, the singers gently swayed me to sleep with the delightfully dated tunes of Carole King. Don't get me wrong: She's written a number of great songs, this just seems like an odd theme week for the so-called "new and improved" Idol. (But hey, the slightly-less-dated Babyface is there! And Miley Cyrus!)

In addition to the six singers, we also got three mostly uneventful duets, though one of them was just plain disastrous. While no one's solo was terrible, it wasn't exactly the show's finest hour (and a half). Let's break it down....

'Immortals' tries to give a worn genre new life [Video]
Los Angeles Times
The success of "300" four years ago could have ushered in a new era of artistry for swords-and-sandals tales, or simply a new era of knockoffs. Judging by what's come since, it's getting harder to argue the former. "Immortals," which shares producers ...

Nikita's Shane West: The Mikita Honeymoon Isn't Over ... Yet

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 07:35 PM PDT

First comes love, so is marriage far behind? Now that Michael and Nikita are together, can these two crazy Division rogues make it as a couple?

"Oh yes, Mikita," Nikita star Shane West tells a group of reporters over coffee. "We love it. The fact that the fans reacted so quickly to that relationship was great. It was really a testament to them and we discovered we could tease a lot [of their romantic history] by adding these flashbacks. I think that was something that grew into the subject line. We're stunned by the fan reaction. We have a fan who sent Mikita posters that are phenomenal."
