The newest season of American Idol starts tonight, March 11th, and judge Katy Perry can't wait.

Based on the life/career of choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson (So You Think You Can Dance), the series will be written by Erika L. Johnson (Ugly Betty) and executive produced by multi-platinum singer Mary J. Blige […]
With American Idol's judging drama now behind them and national auditions well underway, the only thing left for ABC to do was announce a launch date for their revival of the long-running singing competition. Returning host Ryan Seacrest was kind enough to take care of that for them, announcing this morning on both Live with […]
Though it's safe to assume that the network would've preferred to save the nail-biting, down-to-the-wire melodrama for the singing competition series' finale, American Idol has secured its panel of judges only days before the show was set to begin live auditions. After weeks of on-again/off-again negotiations, legendary R&B musician Lionel Richie has finalized a deal […]
One of the "charms" of the old American Idol was the way they would stretch out the big winner reveals, usually with host Ryan Seacrest throwing it to commercial just before the reveal. Over the years, it even became a running joke among the contestants and judges. Here's hoping that the creative forces behind ABC's […]
Last night was a big night for Saturday Night Live. In addition to being the season finale, last night's episode was also the final one for veteran cast members Bobby Moynihan and Vanessa Bayer. But it wasn't all sadness. With Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosting the show, and joining the "five timers club," Tom Hanks joined Johnson […]
Did you enjoy Saturday Night Live last night? Ok, it was a little bit hit and miss, but you have to admit, Alexa Silver was pretty funny, host Melissa McCarthy's Mother's Day opening was heartwarming, and the bassist from Haim makes really silly faces when she plays. But who will be hosting next week? See you […]
It's Super Bowl weekend and a good number of folks around the world will be glued to their television sets to watch the game… or the commercials… or Katy Perry.

MLKWatch: From Corey Ross… DevilIsInTheDetailWatch: The Metro newspaper announces that the new League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic features Harry Potter as the Devil.

Look for this zombie survival car to appear at San Diego… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VYh4UbrT88[/youtube] LighthouseWatch: But sadly not zombie proof […]
Yep, Katy's gonna throw her beach balls right into your face. Almost literally and also completely metaphorically. The comparisons to that Bieber picture appear to be well founded. I think this trailer feels like little more than a check list of exploitable, marketable elements… so I guess it's doing its job. Part of Me will […]
It's 100% true. Magical Elves are to direct the 3D Katy Perry concert movie. Whether you see this as a step down from the previously-linked Nanette Burnstein probably depends on your feeling about Magical Elves. Or Burnstein's films. I'm conflicted and confused because I always saw Burnstein as a magical elf. Now, I'm sorry to […]
Knowing that Batman: Leviathan Strikes! published yesterday from DC Comics would be set in St Hadrian's did bring to mind images of a St Trinian's girls school where the pupils are taught in the most extreme subjects possible. And knowing that the comic would feature the blonde Stephanie Brown going back to high school in […]
So 27 year old Canadian artist, Ricky Kruger, just started painting with oils and sharpies. He's already sold Rorschach painting (below) to Lon Molnar, the CEO of Intelligent Creatures, responsible for every Rorschach mask shot in the Watchmen movie.

A plot point in the pilot script for the Wonder Woman TV show, scooped, read and written about by m'colleague Brendon Connelly for Bleeding Cool, has Katy Perry performing a song "Super-Duper Me", inspired by Wonder Woman. It's on the songlist for the show. We saved this from the original report, hoping for official comment. […]
Here's a German poster for The Smurfs that reveals whole new problem for the wee blue men and… woman. These characters have never had to be drafted with such texture before. They've just been little graphic shapes. Now, seeing as they have to exist in live-action environs for their new feature film, they had to […]
Tonight's the night for The Simpsons' Christmas episode, and it's the one with the live-action segment in which the characters are puppets and Katy Perry turns up in the sort of dress that she and the media have conspired to use as a proxy for her actual personality. Moe being Katy Perry's boyfriend is slightly […]
