Love It or Leave It: Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page Close the Olympics
Led Zeppelin alum Jimmy Page got together with British singing sensation Leona Lewis at the Olympics closing ceremony to perform a duet of "Whole Lotta Love."
There's a whole lotta think about here, like what an odd pairing this seems to be at first glance, and the fact that Leona is on stilts. When I hear her voice I think, "Pretty!"
Will You Go Through Olympic TV Withdrawal?
While watching the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics on Sunday night, I suddenly thought: Well, now what am I going to watch? I admit, I've been watching hours of Olympic coverage almost every night since the hugely popular opening ceremony more than two weeks ago. And I know I'm not alone: The 2008 Olympics has been named the biggest US television event of all time!
What If Dwight Schrute Controlled the Olympics?
Despite the high-flying gymnastics and record-setting swimming, Dwight Schrute thinks the Olympics are for wimps. In this NBC promo for The Office, he takes down the decathlon and proposes his own, clearly much more taxing event: the Centathlon.
The Schrute-ified event starts out with normal enough events (side jump) then gets significantly more bizarre as the list goes on (hide-the-hamster!
Buzz In: What Are You Watching Instead of the Olympics?
So there's a new estimate for how many people watched the opening ceremony for the Olympics last Friday — and it's double the original estimate, which was already mindblowing. Today, Nielsen said the total audience for the opening ceremony was actually 2 billion, a third of the world's population!
That's not all: Even the regular broadcasts have been drawing more than 30 million viewers a night for NBC (for reference, that's about even with this year's Oscars).
One Billion People Watched the Opening Ceremony
Yes, that says "billion." With a B. And it's how many people worldwide are estimated to have watched Friday's opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics.
The Olympics in the Movies
Drama, intrigue, and high stakes are inherent in the Olympic games, which is perhaps why so many movies borrow from the real-life inspirational (or sometimes devastating) stories that have come out of the Olympics. From Cool Runnings to that TV movie about Greg Louganis, test your knowledge of Olympics-themed movies with my quiz!

Project Runway Rundown: Episode 4, "Rings of Glory"
Last night's Project Runway began as they all do: winner picks model, Heidi tempts us with a prelude to the challenge, the designers get a promise to the tune of "Tim will fill you in on all the details later." Lucky for us viewers, we got to hear what was in store mere moments later, but the designers weren't as fortunate, leaving Jerell to say, "I don't really have any idea where we're going to be going — I just really hope it has nothing to do with female wrestlers." Oh Jerell, that'll never happen again.
