So, I just got off a teleconference with House executive producer Katie Jacobs, and the call couldn't have come at a better time given last night's relationship-heavy episode, no?

Alright, so die-hard 24 fans are anxiously counting down the days, hours, minutes -- tick - tock - tick - tock -- till FOX's two-hour season seven prequel premieres on November 23rd. And of course, we already know a few things... mainly that Jack Bauer is working at a school in the fictional African country of Sangala when a military coup erupts. A power-hungry general, General Juma (Tony Todd), is on the hunt for child soldiers and J.B. finds himself acting as a protector of his school's little people.

However, what you may not know... Continue reading »

From forty, down to five, and then the final three. Kal Penn and Peter Jacobsen -- two thirds of the new House regulars -- talk about the hazing process that had them worried for their jobs, their characters' personal lives, working with Hugh Laurie and more. Because there is a Presidential debate on tonight, there will be no new House, so hopefully this helps tide you over till next week...

The So You Think You Can Dance season four tour hit Los Angeles last night and if you know how obsessed I am with the show, it'll come as no surprise that I was front and center at the Nokia Theater watching my favorite numbers -- Chelsie Hightower and Mark's "Bleeding Love," Katee and Joshua's "No Air," Katee and Joshua's Bollywood dance and Katee and Twitch's Door routine (uh, yeah, I'm a Katee fan) -- performed up close. But I wasn't alone. The loudest audience members in L.A. were no doubt judge Nigel Lythgoe and choreographer Adam Shankman who gave standing ovations like nobody's business, God bless 'em. Also spotted screaming in the crowd? Choreographers Tabitha & Napoleon, Tyce Diorio, season three stars Anya, Pasha, Lacey and Lauren, and season four's Kourtni Lind.

Since last year's game changer, which had the House team of Foreman, Chase and Cameron disperse as a new group of ducklings was inducted, fans have been up in arms. Finally, the three actors who actually experienced the shift speak about it...

Next Tuesday, House returns for its fifth year and, as we learned from executive producer Katie Jacobs a few months back, things will not be the same -- not after last year's season ender in which Wilson's girlfriend Amber lost her life. I've received several queries with regard to what's coming up, so I'm going to spill some of what I know...

Just days after learning that production on the new season of 24 has been shut down for two weeks, another FOX series is giving its cast and crew some unexpected vacation time. The highly-anticipated Dollhouse, from acclaimed TV guru Joss Whedon, has shut down production for two weeks as well.

A week ago, Bones' Angela and Hodgins were happily engaged. But after last Wednesday's season premiere, they're going their separate ways. So, what's to come? Michaela Conlin was kind enough to fill me in...

Since I just peeped tonight's two-hour premiere of Bones, I thought I'd give you hardcore fans a little preview of what's in store tonight. As I'm sure you already know, Booth and Brennan are headed to jolly old England where they unexpectedly find themselves embroiled in not one, but two, murder investigations. Of course there is the usual sexual tension between the two partners, in addition to the sexual tension they each find with their English counterparts who just happen to be attractive members of the opposite sex. But nobody's, um, boning (sorry, I had to) in this ep. Nobody in England, anyway...

Is Mahone actually in cahoots with the Company? Does Gretchen really have a beating heart inside her body? Will she team with T-Bag this season? Watch the interviews with Bill Fichtner, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and Robert Knepper in the video below to get yourself ready for tonight's two-hour premiere of Prison Break...

Cameron may have blown up in the season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but she's looking pretty solid right now, and ready for season two.

Denis Leary, Emily Blunt and Seth Rogen. These are just a few of the guest stars Matt Groening has signed for the 20th season of The Simpsons, which bows in September. Continue reading »

What are Joshua Allen's plans now that he's won the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance? Sleep! "I'm going to sleep for a whole day," he said earlier this morning. "The show pushes you so hard. When you're exhausted and you think you have no more to give, you have to give more."

The long-awaited seventh season of 24 will kick off with a two-hour prequel, airing Sunday, November 23rd on FOX. I had a chance to chat with two of the prequel's cast members, Gil Bellows and Robert Carlyle, who I do believe will be around for the regular season as well. Continue reading »

Will season four be Prison Break's last? Why aren't Michael and Sara so happy together? And what's up with Whistler, T-Bag, Mahone and Michael Rapaport's new character? PB producer Zack Estrin was kind enough to clue me in on the answers to these questions and more... Continue reading »

He was praised endlessly by the So You Think You Can Dance judges and picked by many fans as a Final Four sure thing. But last Thursday, we watched in awe as Will Wingfield (pictured left), easily one of the most skilled dancers to ever hit the SYTYCD stage, was eliminated two weeks shy of the America's Favorite Dancer coronation.

What up, friends? It's Wednesday and we all know what that means: So You Think You Can Dance goes down tonight. Last week I had the chance to chat with judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Mia Michaels, not to mention eliminated dancers Courtni, Thayne and Matt, as well as the hostess with the mostest, Ms. Cat Deeley. Continue reading »

With two past Emmy nominations already under the show's belt, you might think House executive producer Katie Jacobs would sleep soundly through this morning, totally over the whole nom announcement process. Not so. "The funny thing is, I'm getting older," she told me. "I woke up at 6:11 and thought, well, I guess we didn't get nominated. Usually the show publicist will call, and I hadn't heard from anyone, so I thought that was it. Turns out I'd read the clock wrong. It was actually 4:11! I got the call about an hour and a half later."

Will you tell Hugh Laurie to get the #&%! over here?, House's Robert Sean Leonard said (lovingly) as he, Omar Epps and Peter Jacobson waited patiently for their co-star, who was being mobbed by reporters, publicists and fans. I helped R.S.L. pass the time with a photo op.

A few weeks ago, I snagged a copy of FOX's Fall offering, Fringe, from a friend of mine. I figure I should share some scoop with you, in addition to an observation or two about the pilot...

Die hard House fans came out in full force last night for the final installment of the Los Angeles Times' Primetime Emmy screening series, and KTV's intern Marisa Roffman was among the attendees. Continue reading »

As far as I'm concerned, the finest part of last night's final Idol results show -- besides seeing David Cook's younger sibling Andrew proudly mouth "That's my brother!" to the cameras as the credits rolled (tear) -- was the inclusion of season three's So You Think You Can Dance finalists in a couple of the performance numbers. Continue reading »

Alright, alright, I know. I should've stuck with my original prediction of a David Cook win instead of hastily changing my mind after seeing David Archuleta dominate Tuesday night's performance round. But, in my defense, even the most experienced American Idol insiders -- former contestants -- were fooled into thinking similarly. Continue reading »

Earlier this week, I predicted a David Cook win. He seemed to stand out as the star and a few sources were whispering that he'd been consistently claiming a significant majority of the vote... Continue reading »

It was just this morning that I was telling y'all a tiny bit about Prison Break's season four plan for Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), saying that, though we last saw the character behind bars, he'll be out and about in the first episode back this Fall ... Well, it turns out that Mr. Nolasco, himself, is spending quite a bit of time out and about these days too. In fact, a New York City pal just told me he spotted Michael Scofield's first season cell mate with House star Jennifer Morrison at Tenjune on Friday night. And yes, the two were "all over each other." Continue reading »

In part one of the House finale, we found everyone's favorite cranky doc suffering from head injuries after a serious bus crash. But by the end of the hour, we discovered that Wilson's lady, Amber, was one of the Jane Doe victims in far worse condition. Continue reading »

Good help is hard to find, but I have been blessed, people. Continue reading »
