Image Credit: Bill Matlock/FoxFox clearly has some high-ish hopes forThe Good Guys, their new action-comedy cop spoof. (Admittedly, theyve put it on Friday, aka the Timeslot of Doom. And it didnt so well in the ratings last night.) Credit: Bill Matlock/Fox The genius of Whitfords performance starts with his mustache, which is gorgeous in its grungy awfulness. The Mustache Whitfords porno-stache is the most visible example of the shows very particular 70s-era tone....

Hark, a second-season show that the press loves! (EWs TV critic, Ken Tucker, for instance, is a huge fan.) The three talked about a variety of topics from possible future guest stars (rhymes with Ronald Sumsfeld! ), when the election storyline will be wrapped up (soon! ), and why the show is such as success (There isnt one clear villain.). I truly didnt have an inkling of whether people would gravitate to it....

How do you think that conversation, pictured, will play out? TheGood Wifewriters wouldnt dare have Tammy, Wills girlfriend, pop out of his bathroom to interrupt them again. We havent really seen much done with the fact that Eli is a valued client. (It would feel a bit out of nowhere, no?) Whats your best guess? Do you think they will at least share another kiss? So we get some movement, but were still in a tension-filled holding pattern....

When director Todd Phillips found out thatThe Hangoverhad bounced PixarsUpfrom the No. 1 slot and completely annihilated Will FerrellsLand of the Lost he was in Ireland for the films Dublin premiere. They gave us a standing ovation after the screening, which Ive never seen before, Phillips tells EW. I think everyone was drunk. Back in America, even sober audiences are cheering. But both of those were well-known franchises with huge built-in fan bases....

Of course Brody Jenner and Mr. Private Plane didnt go to jail, which was a little disappointing. It got us all excited for a wrap-up last night but failed to deliver. Did we actually think theHillsproducers would allow a Jenner to get arrested? This isntThe Real Worldfolks. Was it worth ruining their night in Vegas? According to Brody, it was: If you would have seen how obnoxious this guy was....

(I can see it now: Excuse me, Stephanie. Yeah, we just wanted to tell you that Lo posted a blog that says you have herpes. On to the best and worst moments of the evening (along with helpful DVR time codes). Audrina: You want me to sit here and make you a list? L: Yeah I do. (Then a few minutes later…) A: I came here to resolve things, Lauren....

After all, Ive been on major Lauren overload lately. In the past week alone, she inked abook deal(her young-adult series will be titledL.A. Couldnt she think of a better word than candy? Oh wait, silly me, I just remembered: Shes trained in fashion, not in writing! If that doesnt hint at a significant shift in pop culture, than I dont know what does. Im not quite clear on what Stephs intentions were when she told Audrina this juicy tidbit....

(Special thanks to Lesley Savage for holding down the fort in my absence!) Last nights episode began with Holly asking Heidi to hit the town with her. I really do like that Lauren Conrad. How about we have her over for a pot-luck dinner? Spencer eventually walked out while Heidis lips remained too pursed to form complete sentences. Holly wasted no time texting Lauren, who expressed her concerns to Whitney about the idea of a reunion....

As Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers would say: Really?Really? Yeah, as someone whose job requires her to carefully watch and take notes (notes!) Maybe theyll just make the entire fifth season about Heidi planning her big, dreamy wedding to Spencer? It would be like the networks own version ofBridezillas. It does affect me, Darlene replied as she started to tear up. It affects a lot of people, and a lot of people have been hurt very deeply by this....

What was up with that? On to more important subjects, like Laurens love life. ), was going to re-enter her orbit this season? Credit: The Hills: Sheryl Nields If you are raising your hand, then shame on you! How could you not keep up with all of theHillsgossip during its hiatus? Last nights episodebegan at Peoples Revolution, where Lauren gushed to Whitney about her upcoming date with Doug. Cut to Lauren and Dougs dream date at the Red Pearl Kitchen....

Its back to Middle Earth for Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and the boys from New Line. Tolkiens original literary masterpiece. The first would deal with the 80-year old novel. No writers, including Jackson, Walsh, and their longtime partner Philippa Boyens, have been commissioned. (None can be, because of the strike.) According to New Lines co-chair Robert Shaye, You cant budget an idea. Peter wont be directing because he felt the fans have waited long enough forThe Hobbit....

Moviegoers can still choose to see it in the more traditional format. As lengthy as this first installment is, its a cracking start,writesThe New Zealand Heralds Russell Ballie. James Rocchi, writing for BoxOffice.com, was among the most brutal: Its the problem of prequels. Credit: Todd Eyre So, this time… Oscar expectations friend or foe? PETER JACKSON: Well it depends. I think weve got great possibilities in the below the line categories....

But he still proves more trustworthy than, for example,Greys AnatomysLeah Murphy. Someone who cant separate drama and work enough to hook some oxygen up to the correct line? On the other hand: House performed surgery on himself, and thats pretty dumb. Credit: Bob D’Amico/ABC Its probably better for himselfand everyone elsethat he sticks to solving medical mysteries sans scalpel. Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle),ER Peter Benton breaks a lot of rules....
