Here's What We'll Be Watching on TV This Summer
ABC, CBS, and Fox have joined NBC in releasing their Summer schedules in recent days, and while we're still waiting on The CW, this already gives us a pretty good sense of how the season will look. There's a lot of reality, of course, but at least one cool scripted series is also on the schedule. Here are some of the goodies:
- Swingtown, the CBS series about '70s swinger couples, will finally see the light of day!
Buzz News Roundup, 4/7
- Newsday talks to Nicollette Sheridan about her future on Wisteria Lane (caution: spoilery).
- The full Lollapalooza lineup has been announced and the headliners that leaked Friday (Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails) are confirmed, Billboard reports.
- Tobey Maguire will star in the dramatic thriller Hungry Rabbit Jumps, writes Variety.
- Zap2it reports that cast members from Scrubs, Cheers, and The Office will serve as "talent scouts" for this summer's Last Comic Standing.
- The French comedy Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis (Welcome to the home of the Ch'tis) has surpassed Titanic to become the most successful movie in France ever, Reuters reports.
- According to Billboard, Duran Duran is looking to collaborate with the Arctic Monkeys and Mark Ronson on a music project.
"Last Comic Standing": Which City is Funniest?
NBC's stand-up comedy show "Last Comic Standing" returns tonight for its fifth season. If you're like me, you might have just done a double-take at the words "fifth season" — I honestly had no idea the show had been around for so long. This year, "Last Comic Standing" is changing things up by giving the hosting gig to Bill Bellamy (who will always be Mr. "MTV Jams" to me) and adding a $250,000 cash prize to the package of goodies awaiting the winner.

Noel, Mathew and James Entertain Skins Cast For TCT
This weekend James Corden, Mathew Horne, Noel Fielding and a bunch of other comic folk took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall in front of an audience including some of my favourite Skins castmembers. It was the final night of six days of successful events in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, including my great night at the Stereophonics gig last Thursday! Mathew and James dressed up as some of the characters from their TV show, while Noel did some of his bizarrely brilliant stand up.
Pop Watch: Skins — Series Three, Episode Nine "Emily & Katie"
This week's Skins focused on the twins, Emily and Katie, and we got some insight into their difficult relationship. After last week's dramatic ending Cook and Effy were absent, but the drama was still in full flow. We'll get to see what's going on with Effy and Cook next week, but this week it's all about the twins, Naomi, Freddie and JJ — I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Lost Episode Seven: "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"
After a series of crazy-twisty-"whoa!" episodes of Lost, this week's "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" is practically straightforward. The majority of the episode is spent with Locke traveling around trying to convince everyone to go back to the island, and when things don't go so well with that plan, Locke takes matters into his own hands.
Lost Episode Six: "316"
Wow. OK. It's going to take way longer than just today to deconstruct everything that went on in this week's episode of Lost.
