In the promotional churn for her new film with Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston let slip to Oprah that she'd once weighed taking a role on Saturday Night Live instead of the Friends pilot. Makes sense that she joined the Friends cast--she's a Los Angeles actress through and through. But was the offer ever even... MORE»
We've spent a day wondering why Spike Lee ended up at the premiere of Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, walking the red carpet and dropping off gifts for the kid's manager.... MORE»
Predictable enough: Lauren Conrad's new reality show was pulled from MTV's schedule before airing. The show was one of the last gasps of a focus on "aspirational" programming that included The Hills (be an intern!), The City (be a fashion designer!), and World of Jenks (be a journalist!).... MORE»
Page Six led this morning with a story on the crisis at Bravo--a dull season of The Real Housewives of New York City! Long the class of the franchise (at least to those living in New York), the Housewives are said to have had a dry season. In light of the torrid goings-on in Beverly Hills--and the upcoming season of Housewives breakout Bethenny Frankel's own show--the series has been delayed at least a month, from February 15 to "March or April." Is our fair city... MORE»
Mad Men is currently mired in contractual disputes between its network, AMC, and its production company, Lionsgate -- only Matthew Weiner knows what'll happen next! Some fans are rewatching their show DVDs, some are plotting blood feuds against the critic Daniel Mendelsohn, who called the show a faux-highbrow soap opera, and some are writing their own plotlines....

Natalie Portman's next film comes out in theaters--well, 'theater,' singular, in New York. Portman has two movies in wide-release right now, one arty and one tarty--she's a major movie star. How did her movie end up getting... MORE»
Let's set the scene: You're Tara Reid. No, no--don't fight it. You're Tara Reid, and all that goes with it. Your last movie was direct-to-DVD and called either Clean Break or Unnatural Causes. A paparazzo asks you (how rare for them to ask about your career!) what you're working on. Why not say The Big Lebowski 2? Why not American Pie 4, too, while you're at it!... MORE»
Kristen Stewart, who can make money as a girl in love with a vampire but little else, is sticking with the mythic. She's negotiating to star in Snow White and the Huntsman, a project at Universal focusing on the relationship between Snow White and Viggo Mortensen's Huntsman.... MORE»
Charlie Sheen is not usually a quitter, but last week he threw in the towel and said goodbye to his hard partying ways. He's currently in rehab, to detox from some serious issues he's been... MORE»
It's a world full of rankings out there—weekend box office? Times best sellers? Oprah vs. Ellen? Wicked vs. Spider-Man? How does one make sense of what's popular, and what it all means? We're here to help with Number Theory. We'll look at the week's rankings to see who's on top and whom they're atop. Fortunes change quickly in entertainment—and at Number Theory, we're watching it all happen. Here, your handy guide to the week's best-selling... MORE»
Seeing as the city is once again all atwitter--figuratively and, certainly, literally--over the upcoming Fashion Week, Dressed, director David Swajeski's first feature-length documentary, which opens at Clearview's Chelsea cinemas tomorrow, is well-timed. The movie follows a young designer, Nary Manivong, who struggles to put together his first show despite having no money and no connections, save for a high school principal willing to front some cash....

The upheaval, violence and riots in Egypt are immensely troubling. Even Anderson Cooper is getting beat up, poor guy. The mobs and looting and political turmoil are such that they can be totally disorienting. What is it really about? Why do people protest? Why is this happening, right now, in that... MORE»
Benjamin Millepied is the guy who knocked up Natalie Portman. He's also one of the most celebrated ballet dancers and choreographers on the planet, and the fact that his new found celebrity obscures his talent merits a nice long profile in The New York Times called, appropriately, "Leaping Into the...

Congratulations to Andy Cohen, who's certainly perfected a formula. The Real Housewives of Miami, to debut February 22, seems like the platonic ideal of these shows -- noted location, athletes' wives, a vague and undefined "fashion journalist" in the Kelly Killoren Bensimon mold. Why are promos for this series only now airing? Isn't it late for today to be the first time you have heard of this... MORE»
This is one way to get press for an aging show: CBS sued a fan blogger who claims he revealed information obtained from a runner-up on two previous seasons, reports the Daily Beast. Russell "Bradley Manning" Hantz, known for his cutthroat and intimidating style of play, was outed by a member of the fan community "Survivor Sucks" as the leaker of information about his first two seasons on the show....
