First Look: 90210 Introduces the Lesbian Kiss
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Spoilers,
The CW may have had 90210 on hold for months now, but they’re ready to bring back the show with a bang.
Yes, girl-girl kissing is nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times by now. (How many years ago did The O.C. do that?) And yes, Melrose Place has already gone there this year (and it hasn’t exactly helped their ratings). And heck - it’s so fashionable even the ladies of the Desperate Housewives have tried it a few times.
But this particular smooch involves Rumer Willis (you know, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ daughter), so it’s got to be considered a bit more interesting….right? Eh.

American Idol 9: Top 10 Guys Perform
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features, Gossip, Video,
Due to a “last-minute change of plans,” American Idol 9’s Top 10 men performed on Tuesday, a decision that was made only hours before the show was scheduled to air. Crystal Bowersox had to be rushed to the hospital and was deemed unable to sing, which is why the switch was made. Rehearsal schedule changes were also made to accommodate the change.
The Top 10 Guys would be given no quarter, surprise command performance or no. “It’s still the boys against the boys, the girls against the girls,” as Randy Jackson said.
Michael Lynche began the show, revealing a love of theater in his intro clip. He chose to sing “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown, starting out very strong. Lynche’s wardrobe was much nicer this week, and his vocals were beautifully on display. It was a much better song choice this week. Randy Jackson gave Lynche a standing ovation, calling him an “R&B star.” Ellen DeGeneres found his performance to be “the one to beat.” Kara DioGuardi thinks Lynche is “potentially a great artist.” Simon Cowell thought Michael went “from being a pussycat to a lion in one week,” and found it to be “by far” Lynche’s “best performance in the competition.”

Jay Leno’s Second Tonight Show Debut
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Video,
Jay Leno opened his return to The Tonight Show with a Wizard of Oz montage which featured a surprise cameo from Betty White. He would need the star power, as his guest list for the night wasn’t all that amazing.
“I’m Jay Leno, your host. At least for a while,” he shot his opening volley, made a reference to “Dave” Letterman and “Oprah” Winfrey and made a few fast-paced Olympic quips. Leno’s not looking so hot, his lightning-speed timing is hard to follow and you’ve got to wonder how long he’s going to last as the Tonight host.
No monologue references to Conan O’Brien, which may or may not have been a mistake. His Tiger Woods jokes, albeit rather old news at this point, were pretty good.

Julianne Moore Returning to As the World Turns
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, CBS, Gossip, Spoilers,
Did someone get a hold of James Franco’s idea bin?
She may have already racked up four Academy Award nominations, but that doesn’t mean Julianne Moore is afraid to star on primetime - or even daytime - television.
Earlier this season, the actress appeared alongside Alec Baldwin in a few episodes of 30 Rock. Now she’s scheduled to return to the show that helped launch her career: As the World Turns.

VIDEO: Dr. Drew Talks Tiger Woods, American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Talk Shows, Gossip, Video,
Dr. Drew Pinsky talked frankly about Tiger Woods on a recent episode of The Insider. According to the doctor, The Meadows (where Woods is staying) is a rehab facility that primarily works with drug addicts. “Sometimes just treating the drug addiction, the sex addition settles down,” he explained. You can hear and see his comments in the video clip above.
The conversation soon turned to other topics - namely, the reality show the entire country’s obsessed with (and, sadly, I’m not referring to Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew). “I wonder if it’s the fact that we’ve sort of exhausted this country’s available talent,” Drew said of American Idol‘s current season, which seems to be lacking in vocal ability this year. But Idol is having no trouble in the ratings department, so something’s working out.
