First Look at Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Although Starz has not yet named the actor who will become their next Spartacus, the network is ready to unveil their newest gladiator series.
When lead Andy Whitfield first announced that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Starz execs made the decision to develop a Spartacus: Blood and Sand prequel while the actor received treatment. (Whitfield -- who was expected to return for Season 2 -- has since dropped out of the program altogether due to a recurrence of his cancer.)
Although it is unclear when Blood and Sand will return for Season 2, it appears Spartacus: Gods of the Arena -- featuring John Hannah (Batiatus) and Lucy Lawless (Lucretia) -- will have enough stadium and bedroom action to keep you occupied until then.
Gods of the Arena debuts on January 21.

PBS Cuts Sarah Palin Jokes from Tina Fey Speech
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Specials, PBS, Gossip, Video,
Tina Fey was awarded the Mark Twain Prize on PBS last Sunday, but viewers didn’t get to hear all of her speech. Fey made the following comments about conservatism and Sarah Palin:
"And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women -- except, of course, those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape kit 'n' stuff. But for everybody else, it's a win-win. …Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years -- whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. …Unless you believe in evolution. You know what? Actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."

It's that time of the week again -- that time when we ask ourselves, "Will this week's Saturday Night Live actually make us laugh?"
As we've learned over the previous years weeks, it's impossible to predict the hilarity of an upcoming broadcast based on the promos alone (how many times have we been let down?) -- but that won't keep us from making snap judgments.
How do you think Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway will do on her second hosting gig? Watch the promos above and make your guesses now!

Glee: Gwyneth Sings, Lynch Shines, the Plot Thickens
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Video,
Didn’t like Tuesday’s episode of Glee? Well, Forget You. Many fans are still squealing with delight after Gwyneth Paltrow lit up the halls (and stage) of William McKinley High, kicking off the episode with the fun version of the Cee Lo Green song viewable in the video above.
Paltrow is Holly Holliday, the new substitute teacher hired to take over Will Schuester’s Spanish class. Shue (Matthew Morrison) and Principal Figgins (Iqbal Thera) became ill with a virus being spread around school, which sent them both to bed and put Coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) in charge. Cue the scary music.

South Park Sued for Copying YouTube Video
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Many South Park fans remember the 2008 “Canada on Strike” episode, which celebrated/parodied some of the Internet’s biggest YouTube sensations. The “Chocolate Rain” guy, dramatic gopher and "Star Wars kid" were all portrayed in the episode … but none of them are the one who’s suing the show.
South Park, cable network Comedy Central and parent company Viacom are being collectively sued for copyright infringement of the YouTube hit “What What (in the Butt).” The video, which has scored over 33 million views, was re-made on Park, with Butters playing the role of YouTube singer Samwell. The video above shows a comparison of the two videos, highlighting the similarities.

Before They Were Stars: Taylor Momsen Shakes Her Chicken
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Video,
Before she was collecting tips in her shoes … before she started resembling the Bride of Chucky … before she started shaking things up on Gossip Girl ... Taylor Momsen was shaking her chicken.
In this 1997 commercial for Shake ‘N Bake, a then 3-year-old star tells the audience that she “shooked and mom cooked.”
Is this child labor the reason why Momsen blames her parents for making her so miserable?

The Daily Show's news team was clearly passionately moved by the outpouring of support for the gay community, which has been presented in the form of It Gets Better videos.
The US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is a hot topic among legislators right now, and teen suicides of homosexual youths are a rising concern. Many celebrities and politicians have stepped forward to make messages of support for gays of all ages. Comedy Central's contribution? This "It Gets Worse" video aimed at Senator John McCain -- yes, the one who was almost our president.
The "It Gets Worse" video is classic Daily Show, and very tongue-in-cheek. Check it out above!

The press caught up to Glee’s Chord Overstreet during a Lotus Cars event held over the weekend, and he offered up a few tidbits on working with gorgeous gals like Gwyneth Paltrow and Dianna Agron -- and why he won’t pose for Playgirl.
Overstreet was reportedly offered $100,000 to strip for the women’s mag, but turned it down. In the video above, he explains that he doesn’t really feel comfortable posing for such adult materials. “I’m not one to flash my business,” he explained.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska a Ratings Hit for TLC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Ratings, Video,
It might be too soon to say whether the curiosity factor will die down, but there’s one thing Sarah Palin can safely claim (for now): her new TLC series is a big hit.
Last night’s debut of Sarah Palin’s Alaska had approximately 5 million people tuning it. That’s the largest number ever for a series premiere on that channel. (Episodes of Jon & Kate have drawn larger numbers.)
The reality program/travel show/political campaign – from Survivor producer Mark Burnett – is scheduled to last another seven weeks (unless, for some reason, Sarah decides to wants to end things early).

VIDEO: SNL’s Jason Sudeikis as George W. Bush
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Kanye West and former President George W. Bush (played by Jay Pharoah and Jason Sudeikis, respectively) stopped by SNL’s Weekend Update desk on Saturday to talk about their newfound friendship. The skit was inspired by the real Kanye West’s decision last week to apologize to Bush for suggesting he is racist.
Sudeikis performed ably as Bush, but he’s no Will Ferrell. Pharoah’s Kanye West was pretty good, but it was begging for an auto-tune moment. The skit was one of the more enjoyable of the episode, which starred Scarlett Johansson in the hosting position.
