Nearly 30 years of Oscar-night grillings and guess which question Barbara Walters most regrets? And, no, it's got nothing to do with trees.
Walters feels just awful about asking Ricky Martin, you know, that.
"In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not,"...

As if the bobbing beaver balloons of the Olympics closing ceremony weren't bad enough, Jerry Seinfeld's wretched reality/game show hybrid The Marriage Ref might actually have left viewers pitying NBC. The network survived primetime Leno for this?
The premise: Three celebrity panelists -- in this case, Seinfeld himself, plus that...

Watching Lost has always been an act of faith. The polar bears, the time travel, Evangeline Lilly playing tough - the show is one long benefit of the doubt. But something's different this season, some conversion where faith has become Faith.
I think Lost has seen the light.

Well, that was fast.
Taylor Swift rose to the heights and fell to the bottom all in one night. John Edwards, eat your heart out.
This week should have been glorious for the wispy-voiced pop star and voice of a wispy generation. She won four Grammy Awards last Sunday, including...

Tonight on CBS' The Good Wife, a suspected killer turns his filleting skills on Alicia Florrick, the betrayed political spouse who gives the show its title. The weapon? An allegation.
"There are rumors," he sneers, "that you knew of your husband's...appetites."
And there it is, the cherry bomb sure to...

Tim Heidecker is onto something.
The comedian--if you don't know Tim & Eric, ask someone in skinny jeans--tweeted a challenge to his fans: "Someone," Heidecker posted, "please remove the laugh track from a chunk of The Big Bang Theory and send link to me."
Heidecker had a neutered...

A new TV spot compares Dominos pizza to cardboard and ketchup (this is news?), a claim I found startling only when I realized the advertiser was Domino's Pizza. They want me to know they're sorry about their crummy pies and promise to do better.
I spot a...
