NBC's Broadway drama Smash premiered this week after what felt like tons of promotion, introducing us to a group of producers who come up with an idea for a Marilyn Monroe-themed musical. We also met the two young women who want to star in it: Karen (Katharine McPhee), the small-town girl trying to make it big, and Ivy (Megan Hilty), the capable pro who seems tailor-made for the part. The first Read more

That's a wrap for Chuck, the funny, moving spy series that we loved for five seasons. The two-hour finale has the entire gang working on the two last missions — first, to destroy the Intersect once and for all, and the second is more emotional: to help Chuck get Sarah back after she lost most of her memories. In the end, everyone gets pretty close to a happy ending: Devon and Ellie wrestle with Read more

We're still excited about the Oscar nominations this morning, and now comes the next part of the process: checking out all the films we want to have fresh in our minds on the big night. I know lots of people will still be lining up to experience The Artist in theaters since it's been sweeping award season, but if you haven't seen The Tree of Life or Warrior, you're in luck — both of those Read more

Merry Christmas! Hopefully, your holiday break has been full of rest, relaxation, and plenty of festive movies. I've already been watching and re-watching all of my old favorites, and I know that you guys have your favorite holiday films, but do you have a favorite character? From cute elves and Santas to deliciously fun villains like the Grinch, there are plenty of characters to choose from. I Read more

Can you believe it's Britney Spears's 30th birthday today? The pop songstress made a name for herself in a cute schoolgirl outfit in the video for " . . . Baby One More Time," back in 1999, and since then, she's been a huge part of the music scene. In the 13 years since, Spears has put out seven albums, each of which have had several catchy earworms. For me, there are certain singles that take Read more

ABC's Once Upon a Time was a late arrival to the Fall TV lineup, but it was one of our favorite pilots out of the gate — and I'm still hooked. I love the juxtaposition of life in Storybrooke with the individual fairy-tale back stories. I was pleasantly surprised to see that meek Mary Margaret was once a kick-ass Snow White (not unlike the one we see in the Snow White and the Huntsman trailer), Read more

Breaking Dawn Part 1 has been open for a few days now, and I'm assuming most of you die-hard fans have already made the pilgrimage to the theater. Now comes the fun part — we want to hear your reviews of the movie! Were you blown away by Bella's wedding dress? Grossed out by the birthing scene? How did you feel about the emphasis on the wolf pack in this movie? Whether you want to give a Read more

The release of Rihanna's upcoming album may be more than a week off, but Talk That Talk is already number nine on the iTunes album chart. It doesn't seem like that long ago that the songstress first broke out on the music scene with her debut album Music of the Sun, though I didn't really become a Rihanna fan until she released her third album Good Girl Gone Bad and I downloaded "Umbrella" after Read more

By now, Fox's New Girl Jess (Zooey Deschanel) isn't quite so new to fans of the show. Just as her trio of roommates Schmidt (Max Greenfield), Winston (Lamorne Morris), and Nick (Jake Johnson) have gotten to know Jess and her quirky behaviors, so have we — including her tendency to burst into song, rely on a feeling stick to communicate, and insistence on sporting gnarly false teeth to black tie Read more

In this week's J. Edgar, Leonardo DiCaprio is instantly aged through the magic of movie makeup in select scenes. But those of us who have been Leo fans for quite some time now have watched the actor age a bit more slowly throughout his onscreen career and loved every minute of it. My Leo crush started at an early age with This Boy's Life and blew up when I watched Titanic repeatedly for the Read more
