I don’t have insider confirmation about the following stories, but I’m pretty confident in my powers of prediction and guesstimation. Beware my spoilers! They have more spoilage than day-old meat in the back of a Japanese dekotora (at left)!
On Tuesday, "American Idol"
contestants will be singing Dolly Parton songs. Despite country being
her natural genre, horsey girl Kristy Lee Cook will screw up badly.

The other week, Gordon Ramsay told us that he doesn’t enjoy swearing and that he can stop at any time. He’ll prove it tomorrow night on the season premiere of "Hell’s Kitchen,"
which will feature no rage or anger at all. He’s turned over a
completely new leaf and will gently correct any mistakes he sees in the
kitchens of his new proteges.

On "Top Model"
this week, the girls do go-sees - that is, client visits. At least one
of them is going to get horribly lost, show up late, and blame a […]

Often, when watching an episode of "Lost" that centers around a character I don’t like (cough Kate cough cough Jack), I find my patience for the storyline significantly reduced. Conversely I’m more inclined to be favorable about a weak Sayid, Sun or (sniff) Charlie episode. Every fan of a show is like this, and I try to take it into account when I write my reviews. So it’s saying something that the fact that this week’s episode is all about the morally flexible and whiny Michael didn’t put a damper on my interest.
Having finally gotten the painfully obvious reveal of Michael out of the way, we’re free to find out what the heck he’s been doing since he sailed off into the sunset lo these many episodes ago. It’s a sign that I’ve gotten too accustomed to "Lost"-style storytelling that I was finding the flashback sort of disorienting. Michael’s flashback […]

A totally genius idea. Let’s fix up those "American Idol" kids. (Glitterati Gossip)
In the same "American Idol" vein, someone finally got to ask David Hernandez about the gay-stripper reports, and he finessed them. Duh. (EW.com)

"Lost: Every Episode is a Ben Episode." Precisely. Look at him. (Buddy TV)
Aside from the sadness surrounding John Ritter’s death, I can’t say I ever felt anything for the sitcom "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter." Well, when David Spade was on screen, maybe a little revulsion. Now the author’s followup, "8 Simple Rules For Marrying My Daughter," is going to be a movie. Woot. (Hollywood Reporter)
Whoever told the NY Post that Jerry Seinfeld was talking about a new sitcom wasn’t telling the truth. (AP)
"The Wire" isn’t the only finale on Sunday; there’s also the season-one ender for "Breaking Bad." (TV Guide)

Setting some expectations from the get go, you’re not going to find a recap of last night’s episode of LOST here.  Hell, you’re not even going to find a fully thought out article detailing the finest moments.  Why?  Well, I just got around to watching LOST this afternoon and but I don’t feel like I […]

Between last week’s episode and this one, I think I’d be hard-pressed to decide whether Desmond or Juliet has gotten the shaft worse on the island. A little more Juliet backstory (yes, backstory, we’re back to flashbacks and not flashforwards), and it’s hard not to feel for her, even if she does have the bad taste to be mooning over Jack. Along with pity-inducing Juliet action, we get another big part of the puzzle, more interpersonal drama and one very incredulous Sawyer. All the ingredients required for another fine, solid episode.
It’s hard for any episode to follow up "The Constant," easily one of the strongest episodes of the series, but even in comparison this week is pretty good. I recently re-watched the lackluster season 2 on DVD, and season 4 seems more and more like a payoff for all that waiting; finally loyal "Lost" fans are validated. Now, on to […]

Ratings for "Dirt’s" season premiere sucked. Don’t expect another one. (Hollywood Reporter)
More tea leaves for "Lost" fans. (GMMR)
Lana and Lex are leaving "Smallville," or at least the actors are. (Televisionista)
CBS will finally air the potentially controversial "Swingtown" - this summer, which may be a sign of low confidence in the show. (Hollywood Reporter)
NBC has ordered 30 - count ‘em! - episodes of "The Office" for next season. (GMMR)
More nightmarish bullshit about the potential for an actors strike. This time its their two unions who are fighting. Jeez! (TV Guide)
Nikki Finke thinks it’s kinda sick that a children’s rights group is honoring Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, which aired "Kid Nation." (Deadline Hollywood Daily)
Apparently Simon Cowell got in a barely audible dig at our favorite stripper guy on "American Idol" last night. (TMZ)

TV Guide posted a very cool feature wherein the cast of LOST get to ask Executive Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse some of the most burning questions about the show. Here’s just a few questions that Cuse and Lindelof avoided (come on did you really think we’d get a lot of answers.Jorge Garcia (Hurley): […]

While the strike may be over, we are still weeks away from most of our favorite shows returning to the air in limited new episodes. In the meantime we are saddled with a ton of reality shows like American Idol, Big Brother 9, Survivor, and Project Runway. Don’t worry though, we still have […]

Just wondering if anyone watched LOST last night with their jaw on the floor, or was it just me? Season 4 continues on in an incredible fashion with an episode that gave us a insight in to what might be the core mystery of the island - time travel.I’m kind of staring blankly at […]

If anyone gets kicked around by fate, metaphysics and whatever else on this island, it’s Desmond Hume. The guy spent ages pushing the stupid button only to have it blown up by Locke, nearly drove himself crazy trying to save Charlie only to have the hobbit kick the bucket, and fought like hell to get off the island only to be driven totally bitchcakes on the way to the boat.
On this week’s "Lost," along with more kicks in the teeth for Desmond we’re treated to a fat dose of sweet, sweet answers. Well, sort of. Well actually not really at all, but we did learn something really interesting and that seems as good as answers. Okay, it was something we had kind of suspected for a while but… look, it was cool. Maybe, like a mistreated dog, "Lost" fans are just excited to be thrown a scrap or two, but […]
