First Look: James Marsden Gets Wet on Modern Family
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Video,
We've already seen what a fully-suited George Clooney looks like in bed with Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.
In 2011, it will be James Marsden's turn to hang out with Cameron and Mitchell ... in a hot tub. From the looks on their faces, it didn't take much -- or a shirt -- to enchant the couple.

Snooki’s Ball Moved to Jersey for Ball Drop
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Reality, Specials, Cable, MTV, News,
There is only one New Year’s Eve ball that falls in Times Square -- and the city of New York is going to keep it that way.
The official ball drop will be officiated by Mayor Bloomberg and Dick Clark, a staple of the annual event.
MTV announced recently that Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame, would be dropping from a ball during their separate celebration, but the city wouldn’t have it.
Instead, Snooki has been moved, appropriately, to New Jersey. The ball arrived on scene early on Wednesday, with a large “Snooki” spelled out in lights affixed to it.
Who knows? Maybe New Jersey just started their own New Year’s Eve tradition.

Quote of the Day: Richard Chamberlain on Actors Coming Out of the Closet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
"It’s complicated. There’s still a tremendous amount of homophobia in our culture. It’s regrettable, it’s stupid, it’s heartless, and it’s immoral, but there it is. For an actor to be working is a kind of miracle, because most actors aren’t, so it’s just silly for a working actor to say, 'Oh, I don’t care if anybody knows I’m gay' — especially if you’re a leading man. Personally, I wouldn’t advise a gay leading man–type actor to come out. ... Despite all the wonderful advances that have been made, it’s still dangerous for an actor to talk about that in our extremely misguided culture. Look at what happened in California with Proposition 8. Please, don’t pretend that we’re suddenly all wonderfully, blissfully accepted."
-Openly gay actor Richard Chamberlain discouraging other gay actors to come out of the closet. (Chamberlain can currently be seen playing Ron Rifkin's love interest on Brothers & Sisters.)

First Look: Paula Abdul Lives to Judge Dancing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Video,
In just a few short weeks, the judge we all know we missed (for some reason or another) will be back in a center seat.
Paula Abdul, who made news when she decided to leave American Idol, will make her return to reality television on January 4. But this time, she'll be on CBS ... and she won't be focused on singing.
Although Live to Dance will differ from most of the dance competition programs out there -- the series welcomes contestants "in any age group" and from "any form of dancing" -- the show will still feature Abdul's unique ... style ... of ... judging. (Notice the pauses?)
Check out the new promo above.

VIDEO: Conan O’Brien Apologizes to Jimmy Kimmel for Rudolph Sketch
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, Video,
Fans of both Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel might have noticed something unusual on their broadcasts recently: similar sketches.
Two weeks ago, Jimmy Kimmel Live was first to air a mashup of Sarah Palin's Alaska with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. (Watch the video after the jump.) That clip was unfortunately followed up two weeks later by a Conan sketch that closely resembed the first.
In response to the snafu, O'Brien issued an apology to the competition -- and made other revelations -- in the message above.

“It’s got so much firepower,” Jane Lynch said of Glee’s post Super Bowl episode.
Lynch, who plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on the series, revealed that her character will throw “a hissy fit the likes of which no one has seen before.” Fabulous.
“There is so much going on in the show,” she hyped. “I try to shoot one of my cheerleaders from a cannon.” We're really hoping it’s Brittany (Heather Morris).
