Not Coming to a TV Near You: L Word Spin-Off, Matthew Perry
Bad news for folks who were hoping to see The L Word's Alice in prison or Matthew Perry getting foul-mouthed: Showtime has passed on both the L Word spin-off and Perry's comedy The End of Steve.
Steve featured Perry as a bitter afternoon TV talk show host, with a script co-written by Perry and Peter Tolan. Showtime once thought the duo would be "a twisted match made in heaven," but apparently the final product didn't seem right for the network.

American Idol Recap: The Final Moments of Season Eight
This season of American Idol started with a girl in a bikini and ended with a bona fide surprise ending. So in some ways, Wednesday's two-hour finale — which packed in performances from Cyndi Lauper, KISS, Queen, the Black Eyed Peas, and all of the year's top 13 — was the perfect culmination.
You're already telling me what you think of the winner, but what did you make of Wednesday's blowout finale?

The Woz Does the Worm One Last Time on DWTS
How could we end one of the most memorable seasons of Dancing With the Stars without seeing our favorite contestant, the lovable Steve Wozniak, do his memorable worm dance one last time?!

Kate Gosselin Speaks Out About Rumors She Cheated
Over Mother's Day weekend, it appeared that the Gosselin gossip that covered the tabloids and news feeds last week had died down. Kate was spotted at a supermarket picking up a cake, likely to celebrate her sextuplets' 5th birthday, and Jon was seen outside the family's abode playing with the kids and dogs.
But this morning People published a portion of its exclusive interview with the mom of eight dispelling the new claim that she had an affair with one of the family's bodyguards, Steve Neild.

DWTS Week Two: the Woz Dances Despite His Injury
Last night on Dancing With the Stars, Steve Wozniak was all smiles as he danced the quickstep while showing his true geek colors with a pair of black-rimmed glasses. I was happy to see Steve feeling like his old self again after suffering an incipient fracture in his left foot. Steve promised his fans that he'd stop even if he suffered some acute pain but said he only took one aspirin in five days — such a trooper!

Sunshine Cleaning: A Cloudy Comedy
Critics may draw comparisons between this year's Sunshine Cleaning and 2007 Best Picture nominee Little Miss Sunshine. Both were Sundance darlings, both star the wonderful Alan Arkin, and both have optimistic-sounding titles. And despite each film's light-bright disposition, both skew closer to comedy of the darker sort.
