Last night I got a copy of the pilot of "Fringe," FOX's new TV show in which the lead characters investigate a series of weird phenomena and convoluted conspiracies. (FOX even threw in a digital voice recorder, knowing that the way to some critics' hearts is swag.)
Obviously, the premise is not dissimilar to "The X-Files" and the creators of "Fringe" even ...

EW's Michael Ausiello has both Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell talking about the possibility in positive terms.
It's something that's been bandied about ever since the show's (IMO) premature cancellation. But with Rob Thomas saying it would be his top priority, maybe that's cause for "VM" fans to be optimistic.
On the other hand, it seems to me that modern TV shows that ...

Last week I went to the premiere of “Into the Unknown,” a new show on Discovery that takes on various myths and mysteries with a one-two action then scholarship punch. Sound confusing? It's not. Just think of the show as a stripped-down but much sexier version of PBS' “Secrets of the Dead.” Some of the episodes focus on historical questions like what happened to the Chachapoya of Northern ...

In a statement, the network says, "We're not hiding anything . . . simply keeping a lid on 90210 until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation into premiere night, and letting all our constituents see it at the same time."

Comedy Central is airing their roast of Bob
Saget this Sunday at 10 pm. Guess who's hosting?
It's John Stamos. He can be pretty funny when he wants to be. The roasters include Greg Giraldo, Gilbert Gottfried, Norm Macdonald and Cloris Leachman. While I'm disappointed that nobody invited Courtney Love, I still think it'll be a pretty funny show. We've got video if you've got a few minutes to ...

One of the things I've been doing during the summer slow season (and to get the taste of the recent movie out of my mouth) is watching episodes of "The X-Files" on DVD.
Aside from the general enjoyment the show brings, it's kind of cool to watch and see stars from other contexts playing victims (or perpetrators) of the week.
Like before he built his image as a big-screen ...

I was lucky enough to snag a quick
interview with culinary captain of the guard Wolfgang Puck
yesterday. Picture the chef at Spago in Beverly Hills standing in front of a buffet table loaded with hamburgers, salmon, kebabs and pretty much anything else you can grill. He loves to grill! He’ll tell you all about it himself, don’t worry! When I asked him about his predilection for grilling ...
