Q: Why does Conan have to move to LA?And, please tell me that Carson isn't going to bring his shit, snoozy, Z-list celeb, bullshit shit to an earlier hour. I feel so much better at night knowing that I'm sleeping when he's on, as to avoid ever having to share my valuable television time with his...shit.

Of all of the things I saw on my trip to the Whit this weekend with Brooklyn's favorite mommies, Ingrid and Liz (and beautiful happy baby Clyde), I loved a stone bench with all of these fantastic, simple, punctuation-less statements carved into it. From a quick Google search it looks like the artist may be Jenny Holzer. I found a couple of lists of her "truisms" from some very non-respectable

Hello friends, near and far - I know you've probably read about it on People.com or even seen and heard it on PerezHilton.com, but Lindsay called in a Las Vegas radio show this morning and spoke so openly and maturely about her life. It really struck me as such a contrast to the one Britney Spears radio call-in to Ryan Seacrest's morning show back when her latest (and awesome!) record was

Saw this on one of my fave blogs, Towleroad.com, today.Jack Mackenroth, following his unfortunate medical issue-induced departure from Project Runway last night, makes a YouTube video - and gays everywhere are screaming "Gay!."It took a while for this video to load for me, but I couldn't stop watching it.

I couldn't find a picture or a video clip that truly shows his hotness. There's just something about the way he talks. His slightly imperfect teeth. He sexy jaw line.

The Emmy Awards are on THIS Sunday. As a lover of television and handsome men this is a pretty exciting awards show for me, although I think it is also the show that snubs the most deserving artists. Luckily it still features a few do-able dudes. I think it's on Fox, but honestly, I'm too lazy to check right now so you can do like me and just look it up on your digital cable box.

In honor of Britney Spears tragically uninterested comeback, I would like to reclaim my pinpoint place in the blogosphere. From her 2007 VMA performance, I feel inspired to return from my hiding place in the real world and to venture back here, into your cold, insensitive virtual arms.Here are the 5 things I learned tonight from Britney Spears about making a triumphant return to the spotlight:1.

Esquire.com breaks it down here. Go read the short Q&A, seriously. It makes perfect sense. If you ask a question expect an honest answer. It is just as rude for you to ask a question with the expectation that the response will be a lie. Don't get me wrong, I expect people to lie to me all the time. But, I'm rude. So there.

I have never seen Kyle XY on ABC Family, even once, but this Matt Dallas guy? Yummy head-to-toe. I watched Live!

I loved it. I hope they don't make a movie. I can't recall a sequence with the simultaneous suspense and Americana of those final moments. Yes, the screen was meant to go black. (Just to remind us we were watching TV. And we didn't know what was going to happen next.)And, I can't get Journey's Don't Stop Believin' out of my head.

A riddle: If a hit show starts to drag, loses its viewers, then starts to get good again, still loses viewers, then gets the best it has been since its inception and viewers still aren't flocking back...is the show really that good?

Just for the record, I think NBC's hit Heroes is boring.The Season 1 Finale was anti-climactic. The season two preview was even more lame - I mean, Hiro in 1671 Japan? Who cares? I think the show is predictable and is lucky that it has a cool concept, innovative characters and a nice budget. But, between the fake New York and the fact that I don't really care about any of the characters, I know I

It was announced on Friday that Coram Boy, the new Broadway production (and huge hit in London) will be closing is ticket sales do not pick up tremendously very soon. I was lucky enough to attend the opening night at the beginning of May and while I didn't have the same gut reaction that I had when I saw, say, Spring Awakening, I felt like it was a production unlike any I'd ever seen. It is

I've been waiting to say this for weeks. I feel relieved I can finally take American Idol seriously again and actually write a post about it. The William Hung that could. The megastar Sanjaya Malakar, who for the past weeks seemed invincible showed up in the bottom three contestants (out of the seven who were left) this week. And, appropriately, he was sent home. Now we can get down to business.

Apparently, there IS crying in football. And it got me nearly every episode in this inaugural season on Friday Night Lights. The season finale was on last week and I didn't get to it until the weekend. Some nice "twists" for the finale, but nothing that takes you out of the pure, real life beauty that is FNL. What?

TVGuide has made another step in their attempt to become the online guide to video on the web. Since that whole digital cable thing is ruining the need for an actual, real television guide. From a quick perusal, it seems to be mostly entertainment industry (TV, celebrity, etc) related clips and the site is mostly an aggregator of links, directing users back out to different websites where the

I have often been tempted to write a piece of theater. One day.In fact one of the ideas I have had is a rather lofty one, but was inspired by August Wilson, who wrote a large cycle of plays, 10 I think, about the African-American experience through out history. I am so fascinated by the way homosexuality in this country has evolved through out time, and so wouldn't it be amazing for someone (me,

Here's a relatively recent Target spot I am loving right now (not the best quality, but you'll get the picture):How clever, using all the "less" words.

Have you been watching The Walkers? Brothers & Sisters on ABC has successfully brought the dysfunctional big family back to prime time with this deep set of characters and fresh, engaging story lines.It's not quite the family life of Friday Night Lights, but with Sally Field at the helm, this show is really starting to stick with me and has made Sunday nights on ABC something to look forward to.

NBC has owned the Thursday sitcom for decades. Not counting all the ones that they got wrong. With the exception of My Name Is Earl, which I tired of at the beginning of this season, there is some serious comedy happening weekly that gets totally Nick'd. If you're not watching 30 Rock, do. It's wacky, funny, and it's a classic example of the "underdog" poking fun of itself. Made doubly delicious

I have a hard time reading all of the negative questions and her kooky computer/haiku language on the actual Q&A and traditional blog section of her site, but the videos are voyeuristically entertaining.

Maybe the hype is in the name above the title on the marquee.Maybe I'm so used to seeing a show I love that was staged not to feature a single star performer (Spring Awakening, anyone?).Maybe it was siting in the next to last row of the mezzanine and I'm a seat snob.Maybe, I'm just right about this.But, Grey Gardens, SANS CHRISTINE EBERSOLE, left a little more than something to be desired.I

Lost is still a successful network television show as it nears the end of the it's third season. It feels as if it has been on forever, but that's another story. There have been some weak moments both creatively and schedule-wise over the last season and a half and it has worn on many once loyal fans. Each week since returning from its mid-season hiatus it seems to be losing viewers. But, if

It's funny how one discover's something new. There is so much out there just waiting to be discovered and it makes me a little sad sometimes knowing I won't ever get to it all, but then I remember to appreciate what I do see, what I do have. And, of course, always try to remain open to discovering something I didn't know before, although I admit that I have trouble with that. I'm a boy who sticks

Monday nights have become one of my most stressful nights of television. Sounds rough, I know. Action-packed hour-long dramas, a concoction of characters, plenty of plot lines and 4 hours of TV that really needs undivided attention the night it airs (Mondays) because you never know whats going to turn up at the water cooler (we have a fridge full of Poland Spring in my office, but you get the

Betsy just returned from a trip to London where she saw four shows, including Billy Elliot. I saw the musical version of the hit film when I was in London just over a year ago. I asked her what she thought and she said that she didn't really enjoy it. Bryan, Adam and I absolutely loved it. She said she wasn't that impressed with the music. I listened to the soundtrack for a good while

After spending part of this evening watching Oprah's Post-Oscar talk show (the only show, according to her, to be allowed by The Academy to record on the stage of the Kodak Theater using the set of the previous night's Oscars) and after watching her Leadership Academy special this evening (tears more than once, I tell you, more than once) I have an official announcement:Oprah is not as

2007 Oscar Upset for Best Supporting Actor Alan Arkin (for my #1 movie in '007 - Little Miss Sunshine) is featured on the new Esquire.com. Read his "What I've Learned..." now!Full disclosure - my day job includes work on esquire.com among other sites.

Good news abounds this week: One of the best new shows on TV (and one of my current faves), Friday Night Lights on NBC Wednesdays, soared this week in the ratings with it's highest numbers since it's debut back in October! Over one million additional viewers. Amazing. If you weren't one of them, it isn't too late to get in on the action - sexual, athletic, paraplegic or otherwise. [thanks to

Seriously, this show is getting close to becoming the hottest ticket in town (if it isn't already) - get tickets before you miss this original cast with still completely fresh and growing performances, and see what my favorite blogger Andy Towle calls "an engaging, often challenging, energized production that I found to be a breath of fresh air."Read his full review and check out some clips from

My favorite movie of 2006...and quite possibly my number 1 ever (for now), won big tonight at the SAG Awards. This is very exciting!! Little Miss Sunshine for Best Picture!CORRECTION: Best Ensemble, not Best Picture. There is no Best Picture SAG award, this is the closest it comes to such a thing. Thanks, Bryan!Thank you, and goodnight!

It's been called the new Rent. The rock musical for a new generation. A revolutionary piece of theater on Broadway. And, I must say, even if people didn't say those things (and I'm pretty sure they did say something like that), I agree. The marketing for Spring Awakening does not necessarily draw the ideal audience (read: me) in for a show following a group of pubescent youth yearning for carnal

Every week I watch a LOT of TV, commute to work and workout to many MANY songs, and as often as possible I try to take in a movie or break the bank with a real live theatrical performance - maybe even BROADWAY! Well, this has been a big week already and I'm so full of my Artistic Snacks, it's time for a little regurgitation....so here's what I've done......movie: Children of Men An intense movie

My friend Michael Ausiello from TVGuide.com slipped some inside scoop to Page Six today about two Friends castmates who are sharing the screen once again, this time a little more intimately - Courtney Cox and Jennifer Anniston (I know, I was hoping for a Matt LeBlanc and that guy that played Gunther kiss, too...) will apparently blend lipsticks on Jen's upcoming appearance on F/X's Dirt.

JUST IN from a quick stop at the Cosmo Fun Fearless Male awards at Cipriani. What a room!I only stayed for the first half of the awards, but the highlight was Dennis Leary thanking revolutionary Cosmo editor Helen Gurley-Brown for creating a magazine for which he (and all men of his persuasion) could sneak peeks while their girlfriends were at work...even the soft-spoken Forest Whitaker (I mean,

When I walked up from the subway this morning, the fresh, wintry New York City air smelled of egg rolls. I don't think it's a conspiracy or anything, it just should be noted - egg rolls. In the morning. No thanks.Tonight on TV:Prison Break returns tonight...to a mediocre review from Entertainment Weekly. This show is hit or miss with plausibility, but Wentworth is hot and the it is suspenseful,
