‘Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle’: Maybe Christmas specials don’t have to be good
Okay, I’ll say it upfront, I’m not a big fan Christmas movies, so the thought of sitting through Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle wasn’t exactly my idea of a perfect night in. The Hallmark Channel film, which premiere Saturday night, starred James Van Der Beek as a widowed ...

Lifetime’s ‘12 Men of Christmas’: Starring Josh Hopkins’ beautiful chest!
To quote my short review of Lifetime’s 12 Men of Christmas that ran in EW: “The only reason to watch this trivial holiday movie—with Kristin Chenoweth as an NYC bitch who finds herself after moving to Montana—is to gawk at Cougar Town’s Josh Hopkins, who plays her love ...

Fuse’s ‘Top 20 Divas’: What’s the deal with this weird list? (And why’s there no Cher or Whitney?)
I love a diva. So when I saw that Fuse was doing a special titled Top 20 Divas earlier this evening at 6 p.m., I immediately set my DVR to record. Truly, I had no idea what I was getting into: Would this be a video countdown with commentary? A VH1-style special that features talking

This Week on Stage: Cate Blanchett stars in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’
Stage fans, we find ourselves on a weekend where lots of the star-driven shows on the boards — ranging from Oleanna and After Miss Julie to A Steady Rain and Hamlet — are set to close. Single tear. But, never fear! A handful of great new shows have opened in the last week, too, so

‘Survivor Talk’: John defends himself…and challenges both Jaison and Dave
John Fincher sure made some curious moves in his last days on Survivor: Samoa. He refused to pull rocks in a tiebreaker, refused to share pie with his tribemates, and refused all forms of logic by making an alliance with the most untrustworthy person in the game, Russell. Now, the 25-year-old ...

‘Jersey Shore’ on MTV: Furthering guido stereotypes or just harmless fun?
So, last night was the premiere of MTV’s delicious, guido-loving, fist-pumping docu-reality series Jersey Shore, a show that’s been ruffling more than a few feathers because it supposedly builds on negative stereotypes and bad behaviors of a subset of Italian-Americans that call ...

It’s Friday and we need musical animals
One hamster jazz band, coming right up: There are 22 “audition” videos, too, associated with this British ad campaign. It’s no Sweet Millions ad, but what is? This commercial makes me want to fly to the U.K. and get myself hydrated. You too, PopWatchers?

‘30 Rock’ last night: Why you can blame EW for Liz Lemon’s terrifying haircut
Reason #3.2 billion that we love Tina Fey: When she does a 30 Rock storyline about Liz Lemon getting a horrible haircut (or three, as Liz said, because “the first two made me look crazy”) to prepare for her forthcoming Dealbreakers talk show, she does not skimp on the horrible. Those ...
