Big Love Coming to a Big End
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Cancellations,
Let’s hope TLC brings back the Sister Wives action, because it’s soon going to end on HBO. It was just announced that Big Love's upcoming fifth season will also double as its last.
According to the show’s producers, the decision to end the program was simply storyline-dictated.
“When we created Big Love in 2002, we had a strong conception of the journey the Henrickson family would make over the course of the series, of the story we had to tell,” creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer said in a statement. “While we were in the writers’ room this year shaping our fifth season, we discovered that we were approaching the culmination of that story.”
Mark and Will did offer fans some good news to help offset the disappoinment. “This coming January, we look forward to presenting our audience with the most vibrant and satisfying final season of a television series that we can produce,” the duo promised.
Big Love will begin its farewell on January 16.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Although I wish every weekend could be a Jon Hamm weekend, Saturday Night Live does have to change things up occasionally.
So which stars will we see following Hamm’s third appearance this Saturday? Two more SNL vets.
On November 13, actress Scarlett Johansson – with help from Arcade Fire -- will make her third appearance on the program. (The Iron Man 2 star previously hosted in Jan. 2006 and April 2007.)
Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway will then take the stage for her second time on November 20. Florence + the Machine will provide the musical entertainment that evening.

South Park’s Mystery Deepens with Second Coon Episode
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip, Video,
Since the introduction of Mysterion to South Park in Season 13, the fan community has speculated on the “real” identity of the character.
Mysterion appeared in “The Coon,” a Dark Knight parody starring Eric Cartman as the superhero title character. Cartman’s dreams of glory were foiled when another superhero turned up suddenly ... with a cooler costume and a much more secret identity.
And the superhero’s haunting tagline, “Who is Mysterion?” has sparked debate among fans ever since. Wednesday night revealed the second chapter in the ongoing South Park superhero society (aptly named Coon and Friends) … yet, we still don’t have an answer to the burning question.

VIDEO: President Obama on The Daily Show

The President of the United States of America appeared on Comedy Central’s Daily Show Wednesday night … but if you thought Barack Obama was going to spend his time trading quips with host Jon Stewart, you were wrong.
Stewart, as usual, set the tone for the interview immediately: serious but fun. He solemnly addressed the President and shook his hand before presenting him with Mug Force One -- a classic Daily Show cup, embellished in celebration of the occasion.
The two got down to hard-hitting issues right away. Stewart opened up the floor to talk about health care, Congress -- Obama’s entire administration.

Quote of the Day: Ryan Gosling on His Famous Mickey Mouse Club Costars
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Gossip, Video,
"It was kind of depressing because when I got there, they realized that I wasn’t really up to snuff in comparison with what some of the other kids were able to do. I remember one time they put four of us in a dance routine, but I was so off. I was on the end, so they just pushed the shot in closer on the other three guys to frame me out. I would just come in at the beginning of the show and then come back at the end, and occasionally I’d have a sketch here or there, but I didn’t end up working that much, which was disheartening."
-Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling on what it was like to be on the Mickey Mouse Club at the same time as Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. (Ryan can be seen singing with Justin and JC above.)
