A girl has enough to worry about with vampires and voodoo, but what happens when her best friend doesn't seem to approve of her undead boyfriend? That's exactly what happens when Tara starts to question Bill's source of income, and things get ugly between her and a defensive Sookie. Watch their little tiff in this latest True Blood mini episode, including a funny Lafayette when you read more

As promised, HBO is giving us another bite of the upcoming season of True Blood with a second mini episode to piggyback on Eric and Pam. This one focuses on Jessica as she hunts at a local bar, until a pastor sneaks up and starts firing off hurtful accusations. She, of course, gives him a flash of her fangs and a good dose of public embarrassment (gotta love her moxie!). Check it out when you read more

Does reality TV have Jersey fever or what? Jersey Shore and Jerseylicious may have been satisfying our quotient in recent months, but on May 3, we'll return to the ladies who started the whole TV craze: The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

I've been dying to see where the drama picks up ever since last season's infamous Teresa table-throwing incident left my jaw on the floor. As you might expect, the women still haven't cooled their jets, and the battle between Teresa and Danielle rages on. In this new promo, we get a glimpse of the cat fighting that is to come. Danielle is not backing down, as she takes a few swings in a boxing ring and says, "It only takes one good smack to the head to make a person never walk again." Who turned this into the Jerry Springer Show?!

Also watch for a peek of the Giudices on a family vacation in Venice, Italy. You know that's just going to be a hilarious setup.

Rumor is that HBO's series Boardwalk Empire won't air until this Fall, but I'm already getting amped for its premiere. The show roster has talent in spades: Sopranos writer Terence Winter pens the script, Steve Buscemi plays a lead, and at its helm (at least for the pilot) is Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.

Scorsese knows a thing or two about portraying hoodlums (Gangs of New York or The Departed come to mind), so he should be in his element here portraying 1920s Atlantic City during the prohibition and the gangsters who run it. While it's not known yet just how involved he'll be as the show goes on (besides serving as a producer, of course), I'm crossing my fingers that the show continues to reap the benefits of his influence. The cinematic feel of this trailer is just too darn good, and it should be — an inside source claims the pilot cost $50 million to make.

The teaser doesn't give away much, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see some familiar big-screen faces pop up, including Michael Pitt and Kelly Macdonald. Bonus — my choice for Golden Globes Best Actor, Michael Stuhlbarg, is in the cast, too. Seems to me like HBO has its next big hit. Watch the video and tell me if you agree when you read more

Not that you need a reminder, but one of your favorite returning shows is premiering this weekend — Chuck! NBC is running back-to-back fresh episodes of Mr. Bartowski on Sunday (and another new one on Monday in its regular time slot)! Since my recent chat with Zachary Levi and Josh Schwartz, I couldn't be more excited to sit my butt on the couch to catch all the action.

If you've caught any of the promos, then you know that the slogan for this upcoming season is "No More Mr. Nice Spy." Now that Chuck has gotten updates to step up his James Bond A-game, we'll be seeing more smooth moves along with that geeky Nerd Herd persona.

Here's an extended preview clip to get you pumped for what's in store as star Zachary Levi reveals some behind-the-scenes secrets. Check it out when you read more

From everything I've read about ABC's upcoming series Defying Gravity, it's apparently something like the lovechild of Grey's Anatomy, Battlestar Galactica, and Lost . . . in space. The show follows eight astronauts — four men, four women — from a variety of countries who go up into space and, I guess, get it on. Reportedly, though, there'll be more than just soapy space shuttle romance: "some sci-fi elements will be heartily sprinkled throughout, including side-effects that affect each astronaut differently and a mysterious power that controls their final destination."

The promo video for Defying Gravity makes me giggle, but maybe it's just a matter of getting used to weekly space sex? I don't know. The 13-episode run will start Aug. 2 with a two-hour premiere. To check out the video for yourself, read more
