‘Old Dogs’ advertising makes me shrug in a clichéd way
Yes, this poster is in a different language. But that’s not the only reason it’s so confusing. If you, like me, live in New York City, and have walked at least a block, chances are you’ve seen this poster for Old Dogs — in English, of course — which opens Nov. 25. ...

A special thanks to Jezebel.com, who have helped us pinpoint just what we’ll miss most about Oprah Winfrey when she ends her talk show in 2011: her tendency to scream her guests’ names. Watch this mash-up not only for some laughs and nostalgia, but also to see all the hairstyles the ...

‘Survivor Talk’: Laura on being betrayed by colored rock-fearing John
Laura Morett came to Survivor: Samoa to kick, scratch, and claw her way to a million dollars, but, unfortunately for her, she picked two fights with the two wrong people: Russell and Shambo.

What TV or movie death scenes have left you disappointed?
I love a good death scene. Ronald Lacey’s Arnold Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Samuel L. Jackson’s Russell Franklin in Deep Blue Sea. Sean Bean’s Boromir in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. (“My brother…my captain…my king.” Cue: me, ...

After a somewhat ho-hum start to its sixth season — and a move to a new night and network (Fridays on CBS) — Medium has gotten back on stride, and last night’s “The Future’s So Bright” found the procedurals-are-better-with-psychics drama back at its creepy, ...

This Week on Stage: ‘Ragtime,’ ‘Equivocation’ in L.A., and vibrators!
It was a busy week on the boards. Sunday saw the opening of a Broadway revival of the musical Ragtime (pictured right), which EW’s Melissa Rose Bernardo calls “dazzling” and gives an A. Also on Broadway, Sarah Ruhl’s provocatively titled comic play In the Next Room, or ...

‘Project Runway Talk’: Irina explains herself
Who is Irina Shabayeva? The back-stabbing mean girl that this season made her out to be? Or victim of a “bitch edit”? Why was she always ragging on her colleagues? Did she have any doubts that she’d beat Althea and Carol Hannah to the Bryant Park finish line? Dalton and I ...

‘Project Runway Talk’: Althea talks Sweatergate, embarrassment over losing her temper with Logan and more!
Holy smokes is Althea tall. She’s 5′11″ to be exact, but when she came to the EW offices this morning, she looked more like 7′11″ thanks to the fierce-ass stilettos she was sporting. Of course, I’m barely 5′6″ in my highest heels, so even Tom ...

‘Project Runway Talk’ with Carol Hannah: ‘I don’t think I’ve been that depressed in a really long time’
She didn’t trash talk. She accused no one of cheating. She never indulged in gratuitous self-aggrandizing. In fact, unless you consider crushing out on the hot guy or barfing on camera as high-stakes drama (okay, well the last thing kinda is), it’s fair to say that Carol Hannah ...

‘New Moon’: A Hater’s Guide
Can it really be just a year since, in my previous Hater’s Guide, I compared the then just-released Twilight to “the lamest episode of 90210 ever made combining forces with the second-lamest episode of 90210 ever made”? So much has changed! For one thing, there is the alarming number of my ...

‘Letters to Juliet’ trailer: I wonder if love will triumph in this movie
Ugh, I hate myself for this being true, but: I will totally go see Letters to Juliet. Romance Travel! Amanda Seyfried! I’ve seen Mamma Mia! more than once, so I guess it’s the natural evolution of my own shame spiral. I’m really curious what could possibly be in the movie that ...

With star Robert Downey Jr. in fighting form and enjoying an easy rapport with his costar, Jude Law, the filming of Sherlock Holmes in London last year was trouble-free. The only drama seemed to take place off the set, where the film’s director, Guy Ritchie (Snatch, RocknRolla), and his ...
