Its a scorcher out there folks! You have to admire the subtle thematic forecasting (not!) Lets start with Jennys fabulous public meltdown while watching Nikienjoy for-the-camera hetero sex with her actor boy costar. A vile and despicable act. Love, love, love the Joyce. Wish she sauntered through the showmore regularly.) Meanwhile, Shanes straight girl crush that will not go away, doesntgo away. Onceagain cant they ever push the story forward without someone bargingin on a sex scene?...

as Jenny piped upfrom the back of theLes Girlswrap party and barged onstage. Never mind that shes a criminal on the lam. What is not to love about this woman?

But wasnt that a predictable plot development,having Peggy give Helena the money to buy back the Planet?...

Leonard Krolls anger at his newly lesbian wife? Tashas post-traumatic flashbacks to oh,L Word, do we have to go there? And stop, wait a minute, hold up! Credit: Paul Michaud Whats up, my little lesbian friend of a show? You gave me so much last week! (What kind of friend is she, not asking her publisher to send out some galleys?) Look, I likeMax. Im vanilla like that. Didnt you find Paiges behavior a bit presumptuous?...

Image Credit: Patti PerretThe documentary-like horror filmThe Last Exorcismdebuted to $9.4 million on Friday. I actually dug the ending for reasons Ill explain below, but my fellow moviegoers loudly voiced their disapproval. Were people merely disappointed that the movie didnt answer all of their questions? That the conclusion wasnt wrapped up in a pretty little bow? My thoughts after the jump. The film crew is spotted, and someone (did anyone make out who?...

His wife eventually found him outside and thought, This is a television show. And its now in its sixth season. JEFF:Probably me. JEFF:Im standing out in the middle of the snow, and I see her in the doorway. JACKIE:And its just snow up to his knees. Screaming into a phone, Ahhh! On offending viewers: JACKIE:Occasionally we do offend people, and its not intentional. Everything is meant to be in good fun....

And thats one of thelesshumiliating thing to happen throughout the episode. Their friend dies on camera right in front of them? No big, time to crack a joke. Credit: Jennifer Clasen/FXX At least he died doing what he loved, Ruxin says. Making fun of you, Kevin. And, predictably, they dont deal with it too eloquently. They soon discover that shiva is actually the Jewish tradition of mourning someones death and are excited to partake....

But first, Baker has to stop yammering. The stars comfort on set is understandable this is his third CBS series, after all. The difference betweenThe Mentalistand Bakers other two shows (SmithandThe Guardian), however, is a big one. Credit: PHOTOGRAPH BY MICHAEL MULLER In fact, the only surprise aboutThe Mentalistis the man in the lead. Im the newfound Simon Baker who doesnt take himself as seriously. My main focus at the moment is that I want to do stuff thats entertaining....

Ive been enjoying HBOs adaptation of Alexander McCall SmithsThe No. 1 Ladies Detective Agencywell enough so far, but couldnt help but feel something was missing. Thereissomething much more human to look someone in theeye and say, I forgive you. I also adore how these characters interact with each other. How they treat each other withrespect, and kindness. It breaks my heart every time she calls me mysister, Pounders character said at one point....

Image Credit: Chris Haston/NBCIts no secret thatThe Officeis coming off of a so-so season. Heck, she basically rescued the show at the start of season 5. phase of their relationship. (In the season 6 finale, there was an out-of-nowhere line where Michael said, I miss Holly. Credit: Chris Haston/NBC Viewers, my eyes were raining.) Even more intriguingly, Zap2It is reporting thatHolly will be back for eight episodes. Viewers, I dont know about you, but Im envisioning all kinds of story possibilities....

I havent been able to getThe Officeoff my brain since last nights epic proposal. (Read the recap of the entire episode here.) This is where Toby announced that he was going to Costa Rica. Theres something about candles en masse that always chokes me up. Want to make me cry in happiness (proposals) or sadness (memorials)? Get a bunch of people to hold candles. This is going to be good, I thought....

Thursday night,The Officesays goodbye with a one-hour retrospective (NBC, 8 p.m. ET), followed by the one-hour series finale. We hadnt read it. Credit: Chris Haston/NBC We were all reading the words and what was going to happen in that moment, he says. Id heard a rumor about Kevin, and based on what the rumor was, I wasnt happy. But then when I read it and saw how things worked, I was very happy....

A bit early for such a grandiose proclamation, dontchathink? But, back to the issue at hand: The most important movie of 2009? That title should be reserved for one, and only one, movie: James CameronsAvatar. Credit: Macall Polay The future of Hollywood seems to be riding on that films shoulders. But if the sci-fi epic flounders on arrival, its back to the drawing board. Or am I wrong, PopWatchers? Is there another movie coming out this year thats even more important thanAvatar?...

A couple of weeks back I wrotea piece for EWabout a 2002 cult movie calledThe Room. I tell you what - exposure is exposure. Its funny because, in Hollywood, if your name is out there, people think youre cooler. The fact is thatThe Roomis probably going to go down as the worst film ever made. I think thats probably where theyre at. I play the lead biologist, the head of the team....
