Britney Spears has reportedly signed a deal to fill in after Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul left last year. According to E! Online, after months of negotiations and speculation, the pop princess will officially be alongside judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Ried. Reps for the show had no comment, however. Cowell this past March even said he was "flattered" Spears was interested in joining the FOX show but revealed little about the singer becoming a judge.
We hope you join the show girl, you deserve it! Just don't let it become a trainwreck like the last time we saw you on TV in Britney and Kevin: Chaotic.
After three pot-driven films, the adventures of Harold & Kumar may have potentially reached a milestone and get their own animated series!
Sure, they're no Beavis & Butt-head (despite their awesome return to MTV a couple of weeks ago!). but we have loved the duo ever since their munchies-induced trek to White Castle.
A source close to the project claims that Lionsgate is pitching the series and networks such as MTV & Comedy Central were just some of the companies showing their interest. The potential project is far from receiving the greenlight, but Deadline reports that returning actors John Cho and Kal Penn are signed on to voice the titular protagonists along with the film trilogy's writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. No word yet on the return of the occasional Neil Patrick Harris cameo, though he most likely would. After all, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle was what brought his career back to life in 2004.
The long-awaited "losing their virginity" episode of Glee finally aired last night on FOX.
Did it live up to your expectations? Was it worth the wait? Was it satisfying? Was it too short? Oh and did you like the episode too? Ha.
(I, your trusty editor & quidnunc, apologize in advance for the utter fangirliness of this article, with the last one I recall to be that Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows piece back in June. I call it the Tumblr Curse.)
Attention Gleeks!
Not only can Mr. Schue dance, act, and sing, but now he's showing off his directing skills.
This weekend, Glee’s Matthew Morrison performed at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and gave fans a nice surprise. The actor reveals that he will be making his directorial debut this season on the FOX hit!
The actor - famous for playing McKinley's hot Spanish teacher - has kept mum about the episode's plot; however, we do know that it will be the eighth episode and will air in November.
Morrison has definitely proven himself to be a star this year. Glee has continued to be a success, he's released his debut album (featuring collaborations with Gwyneth Paltrow, Sting, and Elton John) and is even shooting his new movie What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Now he can add 'director' to that lovely resume of his.
We know we are looking forward to seeing this episode. What about you guys? Think you’ll tune in to see Mr. Schue's magic behind the camera?
Bet you didn't even know they were dating! Or you probably heard about it, but deemed it too unbelievable so you brushed it off as a silly little rumor.
It's true! Actress Amber Tamblyn, 28, and comedian David Cross, 47, are tying the knot, Life & Style magazine has confirmed today. "They've been engaged for weeks," sources claim. At least SOME people in good old Hollywood know how to keep marriage details private. Yes, Kim Kardashian, that was for you.
This marks down to be the second marriage of the four leading ladies in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. America went first a couple of months ago, now Amber...perhaps Blake Lively would like to be bride number three with A-lister beau Leonardo DiCaprio?
Okay, now we're officially lost.
The FOX smash hit Glee is still very much going strong and is singing its way back this fall for Season 3. In spite of its enormous success with viewers and critics alike, the musical dramedy has also earned a not-so-covetable trait: inconsistency! Awesome storylines come up for one episode and many times, it's never brought up again! Remember that friendship between Quinn & Mercedes during Season 1? Well, the writers don't seem to. Oh, and what about that faux anti-bullying club Santana and Karofsky created? Tsk, tsk.
Talk about adding insult to injury. Times two.
Simon Cowell's new upcoming talent show The X Factor, which will make its debut in the fall, is stirring up the controversy as reports of newly added judge Cheryl Cole already being given the boot. British pop superstar Cheryl, 27, has previously appeared with Cowell in the U.K. version of the show for three seasons and was ecstatic when it was announced earlier this month that she will be judging for the U.S. installment, alongside Cowell, Paula Abdul, and L.A. Reid. Also, as of recently, it has been announced that only was she out of her new gig, her original position as a judge for the U.K. version is being revoked as well!
She was scheduled to appear on the channel with her daughter Melissa to promote her new reality show Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?, but Fox canceled her visit.
Why? Because when TMZ (the celebrity gossip website) asked her this weekend what she thought about Sarah Palin, she partially blamed the Arizona shootings on her, and said she was "stupid and a threat"...
As a response to this cancellation, she posted on Twitter: "As a result, our appearance on the Fox News Channel tomorrow morning has been cancelled. Outcome: DON'T PISS OFF SARAH PALIN. She’s apparently 'very powerful,' and is obviously still smarting from the end of her reality show."
So did Sarah Palin asked for this? Or did Fox take the initiative to ban Rivers from the program?
FOX’s hit show Hell’s Kitchen is coming up on Season 9 and the Hell’s Kitchen team is out on the road searching for the next cast. Now is your chance to get your revenge on the robbery that took place last season to Boston’s own Jason Santos. Wednesday November 17th from 10am-2pm at Dante Restaurant there will be an open casting call for all wanna-be kitchen maestros. They are looking for people with a lot of energy. Since there is a chance of waiting outside think about weather conditions before dressing for these auditions.
Now, Chef Ramsay will not be there but Chef Rock from Hell’s Kitchen Season 3 will be in attendance to meet fans and give audition advice. So put on that game face and show them Boston can beat the heat in the kitchen.
Step away from the snickers and replace that chocolate with the remote control. One week left before Halloween means only one more week to pack in as much Halloween themed television shows as possible. As luck would have it, some networks have pushed back their Halloween episodes until early November. So whether you're handing out the candy or eating lazily on the couch in the first week of November, Joonbug has got you covered.
Here are the top ten shows to watch in the coming weeks:
