2009 Golden Globe Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, NBC, News
One year after a strike-induced absence, the drinking resumed. Although the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards drew its usual set of followers tonight, this year’s program carried even more significance than usual. The reason? Heath Ledger.
With or without the Dark Knight nomination, the ceremony would have been interesting. Was this going to be the year a film about an Indian game show (Slumdog Millionaire) won top prize? Would either Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia, Doubt) or Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road, The Reader) walk away with two awards? Could Mickey Rourke‘s comeback performance in The Wrestler earn him a surprise win over Sean Penn (Milk)?
To find out the answer to these questions (and many more), you can read our detailed coverage after the jump!

Busy Weekend Ahead for SNL
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live
Even though there are no more debates left to mock, Saturday Night Live has still managed to stack this weekend’s show. And surprisingly, the news is not entirely about politics.
Since Josh Brolin was announced as the October 18 host, it’s been assumed that the actor would do a small screen version of his work on W. But in a recent interview with People magazine, the No Country for Old Men star joked (?) that viewers might be seeing more than one George Bush that night.
“Expect a lot of fun and some surprising moments. There’s a good chance that W. [himself] may appear in a skit. You’ll have to watch to find out.”
And while a real-life POTUS appearance is anybody’s guess, we do know one politician who will be appearing this Saturday: Sarah Palin. Although she was reportedly scheduled for an October 25 visit, the McCain-Palin camp has confirmed the publicity stunt campaign stop will happen tomorrow.

Mark Wahlberg Unable to Laugh at SNL
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video
UPDATE: Wahlberg is now reportedly set to appear on Saturday Night Live.
Although he created a show (Entourage) that makes fun of celebrities, Mark Wahlberg apparently doesn’t like being made fun of. At least he didn’t the way Saturday Night Live did it. When asked his thoughts on the recent Andy Samberg sketch (which can be seen above), the Max Payne star admitted he hasn’t even followed SNL in quite some time.

Are the New Kids Back on the Block?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Gossip, Rumors
If you had any proximity to any tween or teen girls in the 1980s and 1990s, you couldn’t escape the boy band that swept the nation into a craze: New Kids on the Block. The baggy clothes. The dance moves. The poppy beats. The looks. Girls loved them, guys hummed along when no one was around to listen, and then…they disappeared. So stop holding your breath already - the New Kids (now all grown adults) might be making a comeback. I know, I didn’t believe it either. But it’s true…or, it could be.
The official Web site for the group is up and running again, touting an “announcement” and asking fans to wait for news. According to People magazine, the New Kids (Jonathan and Jordan Knight, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre and Mark Wahlberg’s older brother Donnie) are reuniting. However, there’s nothing to indicate if or when they will be making new music or going out on tour. During their successful run as pop stars, the New Kids sold more than 70 million albums (that’s a lot). They even topped superstars like Madonna and Michael Jackson in 1990 as the highest-paid entertainers (Forbes).
When their popularity steadily declining as the 90s took shape, the New Kids (now shortening the group name to NKOTB) attempted a “comeback” of sorts in ‘94. But Face the Music (the album) didn’t sell all that well, concert tour dates were canceled, and the story ended. That is, until the Web site came back up with vague promises and clips of the group way back then..

The 2007 Academy Awards: Live Commentary
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Specials, ABC, Editorial, Features
Welcome to our live coverage of the 79th Annual Academy Awards! During our live-blog of the 2006 Oscars, I made what may now be considered an eerie prediction about Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe:
“For some reason, I keep getting this nagging feeling that their relationship will dissolve sometime soon, but that discussion is for another post.”
I’d like to say that I’m psychic (if so, that Oscars pool at work is all mine)...but I’m going to have to chalk it up to nagging intuition. What is that little voice inside me saying this year? While some races may have been locked up months ago (I’m talking to you, Helen Mirren), there will be a shocker this year. I can’t pinpoint the category, but I think it will be come riding in on a big yellow bus…
To find out who will be going hog-wild tonight during the Year of the Pig, stay tuned here for the live results!
