19 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online - Movies and Television news »
When the chips were down in Las Vegas, one team counted on each other to become the latest winners of The Amazing Race. The final trio of competitors – former Miss America Ericka Dunlap and her husband Brian Kleinschmidt, young couple Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney, brothers Sam and Dan McMillen – raced to Vegas for a final set of jaw-dropping challenges, which included scaling down the face of a casino, trying to attain flower power at Cirque du Soleil's The Beatles' Love and, gulp, knowing some basic geography. (Guess which one is hardest!) And after all that and a tableful of chips, one team emerged as the million-dollar winner of the 15th installment. Who was it? Read... »

'Blind Side' Tackles Post-Thanksgiving Blahs
21 hours ago | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Though The Blind Side still packed a wallop, the movies as a whole saw a typical post-Thanksgiving slide over the weekend. However, due to the momentum from last weekend's record Thanksgiving gross, overall business was the highest the timeframe has ever seen (although not in terms of attendance), up 21 percent over the same period last year.
As indicated by their close grosses last weekend, The Blind Side out-paced The Twilight Saga: New Moon to claim the top spot. Down 49 percent, the football-themed drama had the best hold among nationwide releases, racking up an estimated $20.4 million. With a super $129.3 million tally in just 17 days, it surpassed Rocky IV to become the highest-grossing sports drama on record (though it 's still a far cry off in terms of attendance). Among football movies, only the Adam Sandler comedies The Waterboy and The Longest Yard made more, and Blind Side will soon overtake them as well. »

'Heavage,' male cleavage, all the rage (and not just on PopWatch)
49 minutes ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Naturally, after reading the brief history of the word "Heavage" on Schott's Vocab, I was obligated to blog it. Man cleavage is apparently in right now. Here, we see Alexander Skarsgard rocking some on True Blood, and here, we see him doing so in real life. He's not the only believer in popping a few buttons. Who does heavage best, currently and all-time? I'm gonna go with Skarsgard and Michael Bolton, respectively. As I told the latter in 2005, rewatching his old music videos I came to appreciate the way he always knew exactly how many buttons to undo for "maximum hotness. »

Dancing's Joanna Krupa: Still No Sex With Fiance
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online - Movies and Television news »
You'd think Joanna Krupa and her fiance, businessman Romain Zago, would have jumped right into bed when she was voted off of Dancing With the Stars. You see, it wasn't long ago that the Playboy model admitted to us that Dwts had killed their sex life. "I have no time for anything except rehearsals," she told us back in late October. "When I get home from rehearsals, I don't want to be bothered. Cuddling is enough for me. How are things now? Well, not too good… "It hasn't really improved," Krupa told us this weekend of Kiis FM's Jingle Ball concert. "My fiance left town right as my time on the show ended!" But things may take a turn for... »
'The Forgotten' remembers Elisha Cuthbert
1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
We know she hasn't had any truly memorable projects outside of her run on "24," but we wouldn't exactly say that Elisha Cuthbert has been forgotten. Oh wait. Nevermind. Elisha Cuthbert hasn't been forgotten, she's just been cast in a recurring role on ABC's mostly unremembered freshman procedural "The Forgotten." ABC announced on Monday (Dec. 7) that Cuthbert will join the cast of "The Forgotten" in February playing Maxine Denver, described as "a strong and successful Chicago professional who is forced to put her skepticism of 'amateur detectives' aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to... »

Tonight, Fox premieres the two-hour Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special at 8 p.m. Et. Having watched a teaser reel of select performances — and a video imagining what her dog, Ace, is thinking as Carrie pays attention to men who are not him and tries to dress him in clothing — I can tell you what to expect: For starters, many, many costume changes. Sadly, the bit this photo was taken from was not on the screener, so we will all have to wait to see if it's hilarious or horrifying. (Pretty sure I'll prefer Underwood and Parton in their color- »

What makes Taylor Swift feel all jingle-belly inside? Couples in love, warm sweaters - and her eight Grammy nominations. "This is my favorite time of year. Hands down," Swift, 19, writes on her MySpace blog. The country singer - who's been coy about rumors of her own romantic life lately - says that holiday decorations have always made the main street of her hometown of Nashville seem "perfect and welcoming." But what sticks with her most are the couples going out to dinner. "I love everything about this time of year, but mostly the way that people find ways to be with the ones they love, »

Just because no one was surprised by the outcome of last night’s Amazing Race finale doesn’t mean it’s any less impressive that couple Meghan Ricky and Cheyne Whitney reached the finish line first. After a night of drinking and a way-too-early Early Show appearance, the winning duo checked in to shed light on their victory, Meghan’s voice, and Cheyne’s hair. EW: Where did you watch the finale last night? Meghan: Most of the cast came out to New York so we all met up and got to watch it in a private screening room at a hotel. »

Lady Gaga at the Jingle Bell Ball: Leather bikinis and reindeer headgear
1 hour ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Lady Gaga took the stage Saturday at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball in London and never one to disappoint in the shocking, often pants-less, fashion department, Gaga performed her six-song set wearing a red leather bikini, fishnet tights, black lace-up boots and her trusted disco stick. I'm not used to seeing that much midriff from the singer, but that's because when I think Lady Gaga, I think face masks and frog coats. But this isn't the first time the singer has appeared on stage in next to nothing, which makes me think that perhaps Gaga, the leader of the uncomfortable fashion revolution, »

Still Little Unity Between AFTRA And SAG
2 hours ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
With negotiations on new TV and movie labor contracts set to begin in less than 10 months, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Screen Actors Guild have yet to take formal steps to agree on joint bargaining with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, Daily Variety observed today (Monday). "We've had a lot of internal discussion about joint negotiations but we haven't formalized anything," AFTRA President Roberta Reardon told the trade publication. Reardon implied that AFTRA members may have some misgivings about teaming up with SAG, which is deeply divided between members that would like to form a single performers union and those who oppose such a merger and who believe AFTRA undermined SAG's own dealings with the AMPTP during the last round of collective bargaining. "We would [engage in joint negotiations] if it were something that's to the advantage of all our members," she told Variety. SAG declined to comment on her remarks. »

Apparently Fox has few qualms about putting Adam Lambert back on live television. The network announced today (Monday) that Lambert will appear on the season finale of So You think You Can Dance, scheduled to air on December 16. It will mark the controversial performer's first appearance on the network since he was announced as the No. 2 finalist in last season's American Idol last May. The dance contest is produced jointly by 19 Entertainment, which also produces American Idol, and Dick Clark Productions, which, along with ABC, yanked Lambert from an appearance on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve show scheduled to air on December 31.

“Monk” Goes Out With A Blast
2 hours ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
The series finale of Monk went out impressively Friday night, setting a ratings record for a series episode on basic cable. The USA Network comedy-cum-detective-drama drew about 9.4 million viewers of which 3.2 million were adults 18-49, the group compulsively courted most obsessively by advertisers. By contrast not one show that aired on the broadcast networks Friday night drew as many viewers. The highest-rated show on the broadcast nets was CBS's Ghost Whisperer with 8.23 million viewers. And Fox, airing back-to-back hour-long episodes of the canceled Dollhouse, averaged just 2.05 million viewers for the entire night.

According to the hot-of-the-presses ABC press release, Cuthbert will play Maxine Denver, a "strong and successful Chicago professional who is forced to put her skepticism of 'amateur detectives' aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to home."

2 hours ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Ge's deal with Comcast to share ownership of NBC Universal contains a clause guaranteeing that Ge will continue as NBC's No. 1 advertiser, Advertising Age reported today (Monday), citing filings with the SEC. According to the trade publication, the clause commits Ge to spend "no less than $59 million of gross advertising" on NBC's broadcast and cable properties each year -- plus an additional $50 million for the 2012 Olympics. Suggesting that NBC may have been more costly to Ge than previously believed, AdAge reported that during the first nine months of this year, Ge took money from one pocket and put it into another, as it spent a whopping $145.9 million in ads on NBC properties -- and that was down 16.6 percent from last year -- mostly using funds from Universal's ad budget to promote movies and DVDs on the broadcast network and cable outlets.

The Broadcast Film Critics Association is changing the name of its annual awards ceremony to the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, adding the word "Movie" to the title.

Hannah Montana doll, mouse toy say the darndest things
2 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
What's worse: A Hannah Montana doll who drops an F-bomb or a terrifying British mouse doll who screams "pedophile"? Hmm. Well, neither of them actually do that, but that doesn't diminish my enjoyment of these two weird videos: Stupid pumpkin pie! Then there's this demonic-looking mouse who allegedly sings "paedophile, paedophile" instead of "jingle bells": These toys certainly sound horrible, not unlike a tortured shegoblin trying to escape certain death, but I don't hear what others claim to.
