Billy Crystal Returns to TV with ‘The Comedians’

Billy Crystal, who got his big start on the small screen, is returning to TV with FX’s scripted comedy show “The Comedians.” The show, which clearly doesn’t parallel real life at all, features an older, veteran comedian (Crystal), who is forced to team up with a young, contemporary comedian for late-night TV show. Hilarity, presumably, ensues. It’s great to see Crystal back in the saddle, with a nine-week encore run of his hit one-man Broadway show "700 Sundays" starting November 5. …More

After 10 weeks, Olympic gymnast Alexandra Raisman’s “Dancing with the Stars” journey is up, as she and partner Mark Ballas were eliminated from the 16th season show. Raisman and Ballas managed to stay safe for nine weeks, and were never up for elimination in that time. On Monday’s show they competed against three remaining dancing teams: Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff, Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough, and Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy. Aly was so excited about the finale and wished the …More

Amy’s Baking Company and Bistro faces increased legal issues. The eatery owners originally took a very public approach to their image after reports of verbally abusing staff, pushing customers, and stealing servers' tips surfaced on an episode of “Kitchen Nightmares,” posted below, which aired earlier this month. The owners, Amy and Samy, responded to the public's less than favorable opinion of the two with the same maturity and logic they displayed on TV. In the past week, they have spewed …More

Last week Aly Raisman had to say farewell, at least on TV, to one of her closest friends on the show, Sean Lowe. “I'm really sad Sean's gone. He'll still be in LA, so I'll see him. And it's funny because in the beginning, I never expected to get close with Sean, but he's such a nice guy and so down-to-earth. We always hung out on set. He's like an older brother,” she said about his departure. The semi-finals of “Dancing with the Stars” brought out more of Raisman’s competitive edge, …More

Is James Deen Going to Be a Daddy?

The “Teen Mom” saga continues. Here’s a rundown of what you may have missed: MTV reality star Farrah Abraham recently filmed a steamy sex video with porn’s Jewish boy-next-door, James Deen. While she first insisted that the flesh flick was for her own personal use (so she could watch it when she was 80 and say, “Man I used to be a whore!”), Abraham then claimed that she’d sell it… for the right price. Soon she was accepting an almost $1 million payment from Vivid …More

Barbara Walters to Retire in 2014

After 37 years at ABC, Barbara Walters is retiring, the network announced Sunday evening.

I don’t want to do any …More

Bethenny Frankel Spills About Failed Marriage

Bethenny Frankel has always been the kind of no-nonsense woman who will tell it like it is, as viewers learned when she starred on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York.” But who’d have thought that she would get so candid about something so personal when she wasn’t being interviewed on a reality TV show? Yep, Frankel has spilled the beans about her very nasty divorce from Jason Hoppy and it is not pretty. Frankel reveals how unhappy she was in her marriage, saying: “I felt …More

Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift are Officially Besties

Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift may seem like an unlikely pairing, but just think about it: they’ve both made successful careers out of thinly-veiled portrayals of their love lives, Swift in her 1,000,000 songs about being wronged by men and Dunham by flashing her pseudo-fictionalized life (and naked body) all over HBO. So it sort of makes sense that these ladies would get along. A few years back, Dunham had this to say about Swift: “I feel like she and I are artistic kindred spirits. She may not know …More

The First Clip from 'Arrested Development' is Here!

For anyone who knows what Motherboy is, the day you’ve been waiting for has arrived. Not only do we have the very first clip from the new, Netflix-only season of the cult comedy “Arrested Development,” but it features the show’s most dysfunctional couple: Lucille Bluth and her hook-handed son Buster. In the clip, Lucille is under house arrest and has taken up smoking, and she uses Buster to get around both her building’s non-smoking policy and the limitations of her ankle monitor. …More
