Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, Video,


Although is currently prepping for his number at Sunday night’s VMAs, we can see him perform now in an entirely different arena.

Later this month, the singer will guest star on one of his favorite shows. “Watching growing up was really fun for me and my mom just sitting in our apartment,” the 16-year-old said about the hit CBS series. “I liked it because you never knew what was going to happen. Now that I’m on it, it’s pretty cool.”

In fact, Season 17 includes one of the most painful - and hilarious - moments I can recall in recent Race history. (If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought this scene was from Wipeout.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Video,


We’ve often heard girls scream on CSI, but I’m not sure they’ve screamed while watching .

Although he’s already appeared in a few Saturday Night Live sketches, won’t officially make his acting debut until later this fall. That’s when the teen singing sensation helps the hit CBS drama kick off its 11th season.

Bieber, 16, will play Jason McCann, a “troubled teen” who has an “explosive confrontation” with the CSIs following a situation involving his only brother. It’s a storyline that won’t see a conclusion until later in the season.

This won’t be the first time the hit series has featured a popular young singer. Taylor Swift also guested on an episode of CSI back in March 2009.

If you have a Twitter account, chances are you’re already one of the 1.3 million followers of the “S**t My Dad Says” feed (yes, I know that’s not actually how it’s spelled). If so, you’re probably been asking the same thing I have: “How the heck is CBS going to turn this into a television series?”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, CBS, News, Video,


Fans of Conan O’Brien probably aren’t used to seeing him on air at 7:00 in the evening. They also are probably not used to seeing him speak without a smile on his face.

During his first interview since leaving NBC, O’Brien carefully touches upon his experience at the Peacock network. (He is not legally allowed to disparage them.) He also offers a few words on his predecessor/successor.

“If I had surrendered and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well, uh…and then I would not have come back six months later… But that’s me, you know. Everyone’s got their own, you know, way of doing things,” Conan says in reference to .
