5 Great Back-to-School TV Shows
Source: iVillage Added: 3 day ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year… for parents! Now that it's September, it's time for the kids to go back to school. If they're not feeling the excitement, here are five great TV programs, past and present, to take the sting out of their impending studies, homework and reports. Beverly Hills, 90210 If you want a sample of high school teen life in the '90s -- sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll -- this is the perfect show to watch. In the 10 years that Beverly Hills, 90210 was on air, it made famous a zip code, an REM song and several young actors including Aaron Spelling's daughter Tori. The show's first season revolved around teen twins Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty), who are transplanted to glitzy Beverly Hills from Minneapolis and have to adjust to a new high school full of wealthy, well-connected Hollywood kids. The naďve Midwestern brother and sister both become involved in a fast crowd of rebellious, popular kids. Episodes ranged in subject from date rape, alcoholism, suicide, bulimia, domestic violence, racism, drug abuse, teen heartbreak and the growing pains that accompany the pressures of surviving high school and life. I still can't hear REM's "Losing My Religion" without picturing a lovelorn Brenda in her bedroom crying over her breakup with first love Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). Glee The musical soap opera, which started on Fox in May of 2009, begins the third season this fall, to the anticipation of many self-proclaimed Gleeks. A national phenomenon, Glee tells the story of the unlikely union of popular jocks and cheerleaders with their polar opposites, the unpopular nerds and outcasts in a high school glee club. Under the direction of school alumni and former glee club singer, teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), they soon realize that they have more in common than not and end up making beautiful music together. But all is not harmonious and they are constantly combating the school's competitive cheerleading coach, sinister Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) or protecting their material from rival school's glee clubs. The whole cast is spectacular, but Lea Michele stands out as the vocally gifted Rachel Berry, who effortlessly sings everything from duets to broadway standards to Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga hits. After a year of pregnancies, one fake and one real, biological parents revealed and unrequited love finally requited, viewers can't wait to see what this season holds for the amazing talent of McKinley High's glee club. The Suite Life on Deck In the spinoff of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the twins, played by Dylan and Cole Sprouse, cruise the seven seas while residing and taking classes aboard the S.S. Tipton. The Suite Life wouldn't be sweet without the audience's favorite characters: Chaperone Mr. Moseby -- who keeps the twins afloat -- and resident spoiled heiress London Tipton. As the boys study abroad, they are joined by some new students: Country girl Bailey, wacky Woody, former teen pop star Marcus and Moseby's match, teacher Miss Tutweiler. Although Zack and Cody are older now, they continue their zany antics both off and on-shore, insuring just as much fun as they had before they shaped up and shipped out. The Facts of Life You take the good, you take the bad, you take them all and then you have… a classic TV show about girls from an upper-crust boarding school and their housemother. A spinoff of the popular program Diff'rent Strokes, governess Mrs. Garrett, leaves the wealthy Drummond family in the Big Apple to venture north to Upstate N.Y. In the first season, a young Molly Ringwald played one of Garrett's many charges, but only three of the original students returned the following season. Obnoxious rich girl Blair, busy body Tootie and fun-loving Natalie were joined by newcomer, streetwise tough chick Jo in the second season. The education and misadventures of this group of diverse roommates, guided by their stern but loving caregiver, created a sweet and spicy formula that kept the show on air for nine years. Welcome Back, Kotter This '70s gem about Gabe Kotter, a former Brooklyn, N.Y. high school hooligan who returns to his alma mater as faculty. The show, of course, introduced the world to John Travolta, who played student and Sweathog Vinnie Barbarino. Kotter, a former Sweathog, is forced to teach the current members of the remedial group he once belonged to. The Sweathogs were the best of friends and regularly battled their curmudgeonly vice principal with support and protection from father figure Kotter. This hit sitcom was funny and heartwarming -- it showed the bond between teacher and student, the old and the new, while making significant social commentary. Welcome Back Kotter is a fun look back at school days. What's your favorite back-to-school show? Chime in below! Like This?

On the 25th anniversary of Live Aid a look at the most apos 80s moments from the mega-concert
Source: washingtonpost celebritology Added: 59 day ago
On July 13, 1985, Live Aid -- an effort to raise money for starving Ethiopians by harnessing the persuasive musical powers of everyone from David Bowie to the Thompson Twins -- rocked two continents with performances that lasted 16 hours, were broadcast on multiple television networks and seen by an estimated 1.5 billion TV viewers worldwide. For those of us hitting the cusp of our teen years at that time, Live Aid was a huge deal. Like, huger than the debut of a Duran Duran video and a new Molly Ringwald movie combined. I remember waking up and tuning in at 7 a.m. on the dot to ensure I didn't miss a minute of those 16 hours and the anticipated sets they would bring from U2, the aforementioned Duran Duran and, perhaps most awesomely, Queen. The obsession with Live Aid in my house didn't end after July 13th was over. David Bowie - Duran Duran - Live Aid - Television - Musical theatre

Watch Ralph Macchio Fake Trailer Sure
Source: Vh1 Best Week Ever Added: 92 day ago
Here’s a fake trailer Funny Or Die made with Ralph Macchio. It’s funny, it’s cute, it highlights how nice Macchio is. There’s even a Molly Ringwald cameo. Sorry, spoiler. But, really, this post serves as a reason to mention the new Karate Kid movie, starring Jaden Smith. My friend and colleague Michelle Collins would like it to be known that Jaden, though a child, is a jerk-child, who she is almost positive (“98 percent sure”) pushed Jackie Chan on the MTV Movie Awards red carpet. That’s some insider gossip, y’all. Don’t know why I am Michelle’s spokesperson, I’m pretty sure she has other methods of communicating with you, but we won’t dwell on that.ĂÂ Also, if you watched Michelle’s hilarious red carpet outtake segment, you catch her calling Jaden “Jaded” Smith. ‘Cause he is OVER it. OK, here’s the video: I just can’t believe that he’s 48 years old. That’s crazy. He’s like Dorian Gray* or Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her. Before their bodies fall apart. I really hope someone out there enjoys a good Death Becomes Her reference. Who else had eternal youth?ĂÂ I don’t know. ĂÂ Also, nice use of your indie music, F.O.D. The National, Arcade Fire? Coupled with Macchio’s mellifluous voice, I could just listen to this fake trailer. *I’m shady on my Dorian Gray details. I think that’s a correct reference. If it’s not, don’t tell me. Ignorance, bliss, etc. (JK, I’ll Wiki it later)

Molly Ringwald on Getting the Pretty Back
Source: iVillage Added: 128 day ago
For many people, Molly Ringwald will eternally be the teen star of classic ‘80s films like Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. But the actress is all grown up and the mother of three -- daughter Mathilda, 6, and 9-month-old twins Adele and Roman -- with writer husband Panio Gianopoulos. Now 42, “so far my 40s have been great -- far better than my 30s or my 20s. Life sort of happens to you before 40 and then for me, after 40 it’s like you make it happen,” she tells iVillage in an exclusive interview. “All of a sudden it’s like I’ve been kicked into high gear: I’ve written a book, I have three kids, I’m recording my jazz album, I’m working on a television show (the ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager). I just keep saying, ‘I’ve got to tick it off.’ Everything I’ve ever wanted to do, now is the time to do it.” Searching for a book about the subject of turning the big 4-0, she couldn’t find one that appealed to her -- so she wrote one herself, Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick, which she calls “a book about being an It woman rather than an It girl.” The title came from a friend’s comment about how giving birth to a girl can “suck the pretty right out of you.” Then “I really felt like it happened,” says the actress with a laugh about having her first daughter. Watch our exclusive video to find out what Ringwald really thinks about her teen icon heritage and why it’s surreal going from playing a teen to playing a mother of a teenager seemingly overnight.

Molly Ringwald may hate this, but I will ALWAYS remember her as the star of 'Sixteen Candles' and 'Pretty in Pink' (although I'm sure she's done a great job in many other roles since then :) Here she is promoting her new book, 'Getting the Pretty Back.' Here's a description of it: The iconic Molly Ringwald shares intimate stories and candid advice in this fun, stylish, and sexy girlfriend's guide to life To her millions of fans, Molly Ringwald will forever be sixteen. As the endearing and witty star of the beloved John Hughes classics Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink, Molly defined teenage angst, love, and heartbreak. While remembered eternally as the enviable high school princess Claire, or the shy, vulnerable Samantha, Molly has just celebrated her fortieth birthday. Facing a completely new, angst-inducing time in her life, she is embracing being a woman, wife, mother of three, actress, and best friend with her trademark style, candor, and humor. In Getting the Pretty Back, Molly encourages every woman to become "the sexiest, funniest, smartest, best-dressed, and most confident woman that you can be." You can read more about it here.

Pretty In Pink Was Just A Job
Source: Hollywood Rag Added: 184 day ago
James Spader is amazed his role in John Hughes' Brat Pack film Pretty In Pink made him an 80s icon - insisting he only took the part to pay the bills. Spader rose to fame in 1986 when he starred opposite Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy in the movie, about social cliques in 1980s U.S. high schools. The actor was part of a tribute to the late writer/director at Sunday's Academy Awards. But Spader admits he didn't watch the telecast, and doesn't understand why he's become such an influence in American pop culture. He says, "It's funny, you do films, or a TV show, or anything through the course of your career, and your perception of it is so different than anyone else's. For me, I'll do a job because the rent is due and it's just the job. Then you meet someone 20 years later and they say, 'Oh, I saw this film and it was such an important part of my life growing up.' "It's part of their pop culture growing up and to you it was just a blink. That film was like that... I have no memory of it."

Kathryn Bigelow was visibly moved after being the first female to pick up best director for The Hurt Locker, though she's looking forward to a day when gender becomes a moot point. Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal were flanking Geoffrey Fletcher, who picked up best screenplay for Precious. Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz brought their supporting actor gold in for a few photos, while Jeff Bridges joked about starting a band with Colin Farrell. Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick joined other actors from John Hughes films to chat after their touching tribute to the late director.

The Instant Oscar Post-Mortem Discussion
Source: All from Hollywood Added: 187 day ago
The Oscars just finished. The Hurt Locker won, which wasn't a surprise. Actually, there were hardly any surprises at all, except for maybe how long and lousy the broadcast was. Why can they never get this thing right? Brian Moylan: As far as the awards go, all of the heavy favorites walked home with a trophy. Mo'Nique won for Precious, Christophe Waltz won for Inglourious Basterds, Jeff Bridges won for Crazy Heart, and The Hurt Locker beat Avatar for Best Picture. We had a pretty good idea all these things would happen. Katherine Bigelow, the lady who directed Point Break, became the first female to win Best Director, beating her ex-husband James Cameron. All the pundits had been picking these as the winners for weeks now. Snore. The only race to have a bit of heat was between Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock for Best Actress, a prize that Sandy B took home for The Blind Side. (The complete list of winners is here.) The show itself was a gigantic mess. Neil Patrick Harris and sparkly are two of my favorite things, but even they couldn't save the Ziegfeld folly of an opening number. The forced banter between hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, who never made the role of hosts their own, was forced and mostly unfunny. Ben Stiller donned another ridiculous getup this year to do a long, awkward Na'vi makeup joke that choked so hard even the bit turned blue in the face. But the worst, the absolute worst was America's Best Dance Crew the Extended Dance Remix popping and locking to the nominees for Best Score. This is what happens when you let Adam Shankman, a director and judge on television's So You Think You Can Dance, direct the show. You get a sad, misplaced bunch of kids twirling around on stage like Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo was getting a lifetime achievement award. What did you think Richard? What did you hate about it? Was there anything redeeming? Richard Lawson: Hi Brian! Sorry if this all comes out a bit weird, but mama's been drinking and almost got run over by a bus on Houston while running home from a friend's house to write this post. Anyway. Oscars! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. I mean, no matter who wins or who hosts, the Oscars are always Gay Christmas and fabulously enjoyable. But just as American Idol blows turkeys this year, so too did the Oscars. When the show's most exciting moment is Carol Burnett's character from The Rescuers hijacking the Best Documentary Short award, then you know you've got a problem. The able comedy duo of Martin & Baldwin infused a surprisingly-weird sense of humor into the proceedings, which was nice, but everything else just felt soooo time wastey. Why did we have street dancing? It almost seemed that, because of Precious and The Blind Side, ceremonies director Shankman was trying to make this year the Urban Oscars. Which is lame and pandering. Plus, I really could do without the hour-long Salute to Circle Jerks that were those recycled-from-last-year Best Actor/Actress presentation medleys. I know that fabulous millionaires should always, every day, be celebrated as fabulous millionaires, but some of us have work tomorrow. All told, I'm thrilled for Kathy Bigs and thought that Sandy gave a lovely acceptance speech, but the whole show was fatally devoid of tension. Do you think that the great game of Oscar predicting, and the unending Wehrmacht of pre-Oscars awards shows, are ruining the Oscars? Brian Moylan: Yes, I think it is. Just like all of us, the people who vote these things are reading the press, buying into the conventional wisdom, and swayed by the immense Oscar campaigns that the studios are waging. That's why we're so fixated on the show itself, the acceptance speeches, and what people wear. Combining all that into once example, Mo'Nique, looking lovely in her blue gown, said her her acceptance speech that she was glad that a performance was awarded and not politics. Way to say you're better than everyone else, Mo'Nique. She mostly kept it classy, but her win was as much about politics as the whole thing. Yes, the show was a bit more narcissistic than usual, with the whole Best Actor circle jerk, that strange unnecessary moment that opened the show with all the acting nominees on stage, and the completely gratutious John Hughes tribute that was really an excuse for a Molly Ringwald to remind us that she too can look great in a Cleopatra costume. The only person who kept it really classy was Sandra Bullock, looking radiant and giving what is perhaps the Platonic ideal of an acceptance speach. Why do you try to make me like you, Sandy? Why? Richard, did you think it was too political? Did you hate the lamp shade set as much as I did? And, please, can you tell me what the fuck Kathy Ireland was doing with her prosthetic arm on the red carpet? Richard Lawson: Girl, the most important thing about this year's Oscars was the ever-deepening mystery of What the Fuck Happened to Kathy Ireland. No one has any idea. Not even Kathy Ireland. A travesty. The lampshade set was weird and unsettling. If there's one thing the Oscars should never aspire to be, it's homey. Nothing about the Academy Awards is homey. It's the most glitterated, sequin-swooning night of the year, and should never be shouldered with sad little table lamps in an effort to make us feel like this is America's Living Room. We watch because of the remove of money and fame, not in spite of it. I thought that nothing was political! Disappointingly so. I love me a good Sean Penn saying things about "great shame" and Michael Moore eliciting boos from a wealth-fattened room of political border-dancers. Was The Hurt Locker political? I don't know. I don't, honestly, know quite what that movie was trying to say, other than that it wasn't really trying to say anything at all. At least that seemed to be the big tagline push during its Oscar campaigning. If we want to give sparkling golden dildos to movies that are rather murky and elusive in their political intent, why didn't Children of Men (perhaps the finest film ever made, in this humble blogger's opinion) win every award possible a few years ago? I sincerely enjoyed Hurt Locker, but it didn't have that grand-cheese Oscar oompf that we've come to expect from Hollywood's gildedest night. Before I turn in, I'll ask you this, Brian. Was 2009 ultimately a bad year for movies? And does it say anything that Up in the Air, a film about How We Live Now if ever there was one, got completely shut out? Brian Moylan: No, Mr. Lawson, I don't think 2009 was a bad year for movies. In fact, I saw many a great one. I think the problem—if you want to call it that—is that there has become a yawning devide between populist movies and creative movies, and this year was definitely the showdown between the two. Avatar was seen by just about every person in America and it was a finely-wrought miracle of technology. However, its script sucked, its characters were undeveloped, and the story completely boring. The Hurt Locker, I believe, is now the lowest-grossing Best Picture ever. It was a great movie, but one many people will never see and fail to care about and had little of the whizz-bang filmmaking or marketing that a huge budget will get you. Just about the only three pictures nominated that could be considered but critical and financial successes are Up, District 9, and Up in the Air. One didn't win because it's a cartoon, one because it had aliens, and the third because, well, it was just the wrong year. Any other moment, and Up in the Air would be right up there along with all the other winners. Maybe because it had both (and truly is a fine piece of cinema) it deserved to win. But the reason why something like The Hurt Locker won so many awards is the same reason that the show was a complete self-referential mess. It is because The Oscars are not about America, they are about Hollywood, and Hollywood is under the impression that the people who watch movies care as much about the people who make movies as the people who make movies care about the people who make movies. They don't really care about what sells tickets, pleases people, makes film critics smile, or will help you win your Oscar pool. They only care about themselves, about telling us what is good for us, about rewarding hard workers, and about settling old scores. This night is our one chance to get a glimpse into the rich, glittering tower of the movie business, a magic mirror into their beautiful world, and they use that mirror only to reflect back on themselves, and blind us with diverted brilliance in the process. Richard Lawson: Powerfully said! "Diverted brilliance" pretty much covers it, I think. OK folks! That's goodnight from Gawker's Oscartowne. I'm sure Ravi will have some sort of rousing Oscar party crash post in the morn, but for now it's goodnight. Brian, thanks for hosting an excellent and pageview-gobbling live blog, and thanks to our wonderful commenters for sticking it out in droves until the bitter end (even though we broke the internet a little, oops!). Next year is Meg Ryan's year, right?

March of the Penguin Suits Red Carpet Oscar Fashion
Source: All from Hollywood Added: 187 day ago
The most important day in the gay calendar, Oscar Sunday is important not only for the glorious shining awards handed out to a lucky few. There's also the dresses! Here are some red carpet low/highlights. All images via Getty Anna Kendrick doesn't look like Fritzi anymore. Amanda Seyfried: "It's that whole country club formal dinner napkin look that I've always loved." Zoe Saldana: "I'm doing a whole 'Under the Sea' musical number with Vera Farmiga." Vera Farmiga: "Yeah, I don't know. I was drunk." Mo'Nique's blue heaven. Zac Efron would like to borrow your daughter for a moment. True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll promises to do better next time. The always-poised Sigourney Weaver struggles to remain calm as red carpet devours her. If it worked for Jason Smith, 1995 Midland High School Prom King, Jeremy Renner figures this lucky shimmer-tie will work for him. Maggie Gyllenhaal is so hip she's wearing Urban Outfitters curtains to the Academy Awards. Tinker Bell not the same since spending the summer at her goth cousin's house. (That's Carey Muligan, slowly disappearing from the boobs up.) Diane Kruger run over by band of unruly teenagers on their Huffys. Sandra Bullock's lovely look for the 1994 Golden Globes. Who invited Miley Cyrus to the Oscars? Sarah Jessica Parker came dressed as an elaborate birdbath. Kinda wish Tina Fey would change her spots. Is Molly Ringwald there for John Hughes-related reasons? It's a shame that Penelope Cruz is so ugly and dresses so terribly. Rachel McAdams is beginning to realize that driving that truck full of water colors down a bumpy road while wearing her Oscar dress wasn't such a good idea. All hail the Queen Latifah. Hasn't Helen Mirren worn this dress before? Tonight is the debut of the new clothing line Vagina Explosion by J. Lo Charlize Theron traveled to the show on a gust of wind. Look out behind you, Gabourey Sidibe! The plants! They're attacking!

It s easy to pick apart the truly......
Source: Jezebel Added: 257 day ago
It's easy to pick apart the truly heinous fads of the 00s; rarely will you get a defender of trucker hats or pleather pants . Yet there are other touchstones of the decade that may quickly fall out of favor. When a decade dies, it often takes its most representative works with it; 1999's American Beauty is a good example, in that it swept the Oscars in its day but now plays as "painfully 90s," perhaps because it was ripped off by imitators in the early part of this decade. With that in mind, let's take a look at some popular fads and folks of this decade that may be "painfully 00s" by the time 2020 rolls around (or, perhaps, by the time our "green" Times Square ball, shown here, drops in a few days). Reality Television: Have we gone as far as we can go with reality television? After 10 years of bug eating, rockstar dating, Snooki-worshipping, glorified karaoke nights, intense dance competitions, and hottub makeout sessions, what's left for reality tv? It could be that by 2020 we're still embracing the reality tv trend, and that things have moved into even crazier realms, or it could turn out that by 2020 we view the era of reality television the same way we view the kitschy world of 70s game shows, enjoying the spectacle but asking, "What were we thinking?!" Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt: By 2020, Brad Pitt will be roughly 56 years old, and his divorce from Jennifer Aniston will have been in effect for nearly 15 years. Though the trio dominated the tabloid scene of the 00s, their love triangle may finally (dear god, please) fade away to make room for new A-list celebrities and their sordid love affairs. I can remember being a kid in the 80s and watching my mom pick up tabloids with Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson on the cover. It was a story that was seemingly everywhere, though you never hear about Anderson at all these days: go ask some 20 year old who Loni Anderson is. I'm sure she'll let you know, right after she Googles it. The same fate might not befall Aniston, Pitt or Jolie, considering their bodies of work, but the point is that we often forget that the big stars of today are just the memories of tomorrow. Facebook: Facebook is ending the decade victorious, but if we've learned anything from Xanga, Blurty, LiveJournal, Friendster, or MySpace, that victory might be fleeting. As social networking evolves, so will the platforms that help facilitate it. Remember—just 5 years ago, there was no such thing as YouTube and Twitter has only been around for three years. By 2020, we'll all be holograms walking through walls and living under robot control anyway, so I guess we'll just have to see what technology they give us to use throughout the Robot Kingdom. Celebutantes Congratulations! You were born into money. You've had ten years to prove to us that we should give a shit, and you decided to spend said ten years parading around in reality shows, getting thrown in jail, releasing perfumes, recording forgettable singles, and starring in terrible films. Please try harder in 2k10. You have the money; nobody else does. This time, go out and do something vaguely interesting with it. Cats: Oh, cats. You're so adorable and silly that the internet even invented a language just for you! Cats were the animal champions of the 00s, and while no one is suggesting that their adorableness levels will dip anytime soon, they have been terribly overexposed as of late. Remember the 90s? When everyone wanted a pot-bellied pig? I fear the same fate may befall cats, who are so ubiquitous that society may begin to look elsewhere for their cute overload fix. Could 2010 be the year of the bunny? The baby elephant? Only time will tell. You can haz warning, kitties. Bacon: You know how everyone makes fun of old recipes from the 50s and 60s, pointing out the nastiness of gelatin salads and such? Or how everyone rolls their eyes when the fat free fad of the 90s is brought up? That will be the 2020 reaction to bacon: "Ugh, remember when everyone put bacon on everything?" Believe it. Celebrity Multitasking: It wasn't enough to just be a movie star in the 00s: in order to stay relevant, you needed to release an album, create a fashion line, star in your own reality show, or promote your own scent. While one can't fault many celebrities (particularly women) for seeking other outlets during their oft-brief time in the spotlight, celebrity saturation became a bit much during the 00s, and only looks to continue, with celebrities directly interacting with fans via platforms such as Twitter. It's not a bad thing that the mythical wall of celebrity has been broken down a bit over the past 10 years, but it has gotten to the point where celebrity seems to apply to almost anyone and therefore mean practically nothing, which will be interesting to watch play out over the next ten years or so; if everyone is famous, then how will famous people continue successfully promoting their brands? Michael Cera: Don't you just get the sense that unless his career takes a wildly different direction over the next few years, he's going to end up the Molly Ringwald of the 00s? Aretha Franklin's Hat: Ok, no. Sorry. This one doesn't count. Some things will never go out of style. As always, feel free to add your suggestions in the comments!
