Jennifer Aniston Would Cast Justin Bieber Over Robert Pattinson In Her Biopic

Posted 2/23/12 5:41 pm EST by in Random Yet Notable, Videos


When "Wanderlust" stars Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston stopped by recently to debut an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek from their upcoming comedy (and talk nudity, a "Friends" reunion and bearded Justin Theroux), we just couldn't say good-bye without putting them through the wringer just a tad. Which is why we insisted they endure the ultimate MTV rite of passage: Josh Horowitz's After Hours.

For this installment, Josh turned to that slumber party staple, Would You Rather. And it was revealing to say the least. What did we learn? Jennifer would rather sleep with Megan Fox than Regis Philbin. Paul would rather do an Oprah impression than demonstrate a really bad dance move. And Jennifer would rather Justin Bieber portray her in a biopic than Robert Pattinson. Yeah, we'll just leave that one right there.

'Smash' Recap: 'Enter Mr. DiMaggio'

Posted 2/21/12 10:05 am EST by in TV Recaps


Smashby Erin Strecker

What’s the cost of following your dreams? That was the question of the hour last night for "Smash," with Karen going home for a baby shower, Ivy questioning why exactly she was cast as Marilyn and Ellis (knew he would wind up being a villain!) wondering why he was being treated as just Tom’s assistant, when he was the one (in his mind) who came up with the idea for the musical in the first place.

Director Derek may have given the role of Marilyn to Ivy, but as he reminded Karen when they met for drinks, it’s not over until the fat lady (or, in this case, perfectly shaped superstar) sings. There is still a long time (and a lot of episodes) to go before the little show that could hits the Great White Way. Subtext: Ivy may have the part (and the director) for now, but all that could be over faster than a backstage costume change.

'Secret Circle' Recap: 'Return'

Posted 2/17/12 11:31 am EST by in TV Recaps


by Ryan J. Downey

Last night's episode of "The Secret Circle" featured a huge payoff front and center: the "Return" of John Blackwell!

After the steamy raciness of last week's "Valentine," the show returned to its slow-boil pace and gave us long moments to contemplate Blackwell's true intentions, to wonder even more about the fire and the other big events from 16 years ago, to consider for a moment why Cassie's father clearly favors Jake over Adam and other such plot threads. Of course, witch hunters just love to interrupt our pondering!

From the very beginning of the series, when the show's teen witch hero lost her mother and it was said that her father was also gone, we just knew that Cassie's dear old dad had to actually be out there somewhere—very much alive. You see, we met Cassie's mother (just before she was killed by Charles) but we never saw her dad. And when it was revealed Cassie has dark magic inherited from her father's evil side of the family, we just knew John Blackwell was too good of a character to keep in the shadows. And we were right!

'Vampire Diaries' Recap: 'All My Children'

Posted 2/17/12 9:57 am EST by in TV Recaps


Vampire Diariesby Cassie Title

By now, faithful readers, you’ve come to know me a little bit. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve been a little confused about what show it is that we’ve actually been watching. With references to "The Secret Circle" and "Gossip Girl," you can’t really blame me. But it all made sense tonight: the sappy music, the desperate longing on Elena and Stefan’s faces when the director switched frames during their missed phone connection, the pain in Damon’s eyes when he picked up Elena’s call, the fact that Rebekah was RIGHT THERE in his bed and left at exactly the same time Elena arrived, the bizarre reference to the actual title of this show (Stefan writing in a diary!) that producers forgot about—with good reason—two seasons ago, Klaus telling Caroline that he wants to know her hopes, her dreams, everything. We’ve been watching a soap opera, and it’s more than fitting that this episode’s name hearkened to the mother (get it?) of daytime TV. Plus, Esther wants to kill all her children. In short, it was a meandering, plot-heavy episode, so let's get down to it:

Kristin Kreuk Lands 'Beauty And The Beast' Lead

Posted 2/16/12 2:37 pm EST by in Casting News, TV News


Kristin Kreukby Elizabeth Lancaster

The CW didn't have to look far to find its Beauty.

Deadline reports that former "Smallville" star Kristin Kreuk has been cast as the titular looker for the network's "Beauty and the Beast" pilot.

Though it may sound like Kristin is forming a tendency towards fantasy-based television, the show is actually an exciting revamp of a beloved '80s series that does not include any talking clocks or candlesticks. What it does include, is the exploration of a rousing relationship between two tantalizing characters, one of course being Kristin’s Catherine. Catherine is a homicide detective in New York City working to recover from her mother’s death and resolve her sentiments towards the murder. This leads her to discover Vincent Koslow, “the Beast," and for them to begin an unprecedented relationship. The Beast has secrets too, and Catherine will protect them. (Very enticing, we know!)
