Exclusive Interview: FRINGE actress Jasika Nicole puts in double time
On FRINGE, now in its third season and renewed for a fourth on Fox on Friday nights, there are two parallel universes. In ours, brilliant but mentally unstable Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble) long ago found a way to travel between the two, with lingering terrifying results. His son Peter (Joshua Jackson), who is really from the other universe, and FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) often enlist Walter in investigating strange phenomenon. In the other universe, another Walter Bishop (Noble again) runs the government and feels he needs to destroy our reality to protect his own, while another […]Read On »

AMERICAN IDOL recap: Stefano Langone finally gets the overdramatic boot
So it was time for Stefano Langone to go home this week on Season 10 of the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. Well, I can’t say that I didn’t see this one coming given I have predicted his departure from the show for the past four weeks in a row. And, honestly, he should have been gone a long time ago before this week. No way in hell Pia Toscano should be gone and not Stefano. With his crazy eyes, weird facial expressions and wacky overdramatic nature to his performances (not to mention his singing ballad after ballad) finally […]Read On »

With “A Night of Neglect,” this episode clearly feels like something that was hobbled together to fill in the gaps until the series can regroup and figure out what to do before Show […]Read On »
DANCING WITH THE STARS Recap: Petra Nemcova sent packing early due to Super Model Curse
In the first shocker of season 12, super model Petra Nemcova gets eliminated from DANCING WITH THE STARS – Season 12. It’s well known that models never get too far on DWTS. In fact, they are usually first to go. However, it seemed Nemcova had somehow made a clean getaway from “the curse of the super model”. Wrong! The curse caught up with her when she was let go from the competition after tying for last place with Kendra Wilkinson and Ralph Macchio Monday night. Coming in last is the time when a solid fan base is your only hope. […]Read On »
