Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict. The movie Read more
Buying started slow at Sundance this year, but things started picking up on Tuesday. Check out a rundown of some recent acquisitions: Hamlet 2, which stars Steve Coogan as a high school drama teacher, sold to Focus Features for $10 million — making it one of the biggest deals ever in the history of Sundance and putting it in the same league as Little Miss Sunshine.

We say goodbye to McKinley High's graduating class of 2012 on this week's season finale of Glee, and while we'll be seeing a lot of these characters next year, for some, it was their swan song (pardon the pun). Everyone is feeling nostalgic, not the least of whom is Mr. Schue, who gives the kids an assignment of picking a goodbye song. The episode is mostly devoted to the characters giving each Read more

In this week's episode of The Office, Robert California is hung over and trying to put together the events of the evening — namely, that he closed the Syracuse branch of Dunder-Mifflin while blacked out. And of course, Andy is still being awkward and hanging out around the office, hoping that it's all just been a bad dream. I was happy to see Chris Bauer (Andy Bellefleur!) from True Blood make Read more
This week's confession comes from our anonymous Confession Booth group in the TrèsSugar Community. Weigh in with your advice below. We've been dating for the past one and a half year and sometime back he just blurted out on the phone that he wants to marry me . . . though I did not like the way he did it, I said yes because I do love him.

Things got off to a hot start this week when we heard that The Vampire Diaries's Ian Somerhalder wanted to star as the handsome Christian Grey in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Responses were largely positive, but some of you brought up your own casting suggestions, like Somerhalder's cast mate, Joseph Morgan, and Matt Bomer, who recently guest starred on Glee. Read more
We've all heard about the importance of a solid breakfast, but more often than not, good intentions fall victim to making the 8:10 a.m. train. I can't tell you how many New Year's resolutions I've set, only to find myself choking down pasty instant oatmeal at my desk or — gasp! — forgoing breakfast entirely. Difficult as it may be to believe, you really can make time for a filling breakfast, Read more
