Although Ilonzeh has appeared on Entourage as one of Turtle's assistants, she is best known to soap opera viewers as Maya Ward on General Hospital. Annie will shift from ABC daytime to primetime as Kate -- a smart and athletic ex-cop with martial arts skills.

American Idol 10: Milwaukee Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video,
Past American Idol contestant Danny Gokey showed up to please the crowd at the Milwaukee auditions, as it’s his own hometown (and he’s not that busy with music right now). The show spent a lot of time on the city and the judges (Randy Jackson isn’t familiar with Aerosmith banner hit “Sweet Emotion”) before introducing us to the first contestant of the day.
Did any of them stand out? Will one of them be the next Idol? Tuesday's was a long episode … but did it provide a big payoff?

Will Ferrell to Become New ‘Office’ Boss
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, News, Spoilers,
At long last, Will Ferrell will be returning to NBC. The actor has signed on for a guest-starring stint on The Office, which will be down one Steve Carell.
For a little while, at least, Ferrell will step in as the temporary boss at Dunder Mifflin. He will play a branch manager who comes to take over for Michael Scott (Carell).
“We are proud to continue The Office’s tradition of discovering famous talent,” said Paul Lieberstein (who plays Toby). “We hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see -- tremendous, raw sexuality.”
Oh, we do … ever since we saw SNL’s now-legendary “Patriotic G-String” skit.

For the second time in his presidency, President Barack Obama stood before the nation to deliver the State of the Union on Tuesday night. Many viewers had the option of skipping the speech because it was leaked online some two hours before the president took his podium. In the Information Age, nothing is sacred.
Obama opened by mentioning the Tucson tragedy, calling attention to the grim, empty seat within the chamber. But he quickly moved forward in the speech, talking at length about America’s greatness and spirit of innovation. It all felt a little empty … until Obama broke the ice with his first really great joke.
“I have heard rumors that a few of you still have concerns about our new health care law.” It came a little late into the speech, but it was the line that united the room. Laughter is much more heartfelt than forced applause, and at last the President of the United States was off and running.

Quote of the Day: Spartacus’ Lucy Lawless on Sex Scenes, Nudity
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip,
"Funnily enough, no. You’re taped up and anatomically incorrect – there’s no accidental sex happening on set, but all the same, it’s really exposing. Especially for the women. I think females are hardwired to protect that side of yourself, so that has never gotten easier. But nudity becomes easier. You just don’t notice it after a while, but sex – no. And not one actor has come in and found it a breeze."
-Spartacus: Gods of the Arena's Lucy Lawless on whether sex scenes get easier with time.
