Prison Break Season 3 DVD Cover Art and Specs

You can’t keep Michael Scofield down. Not even in a Panamanian prison that, as it turns out, really isn’t that bad. Well, not nearly as bad as the first time we saw it, anyway. Which sort of makes Michael’s escape from it in Season 3 not all that intense. He had a harder time breaking...

The Emmys (or as it’s known to my senile grandmother, the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards) have just released this year’s batch of nominations, and as expected, pretty much the entire point goes out the window when the words “Two and a Half Men” show up anywhere among the list...

Jack Bauer Update: Prequel, Possible Movie, and Season 7

2008 may have been a bad year for Jack Bauer, a man who knows a thing or two about bad years, but the 2-hour prequel movie coming later this year should soothe over some of the pain fans of the show are feeling towards the writers for striking, and thus costing us Season 7, since delayed until 2009....

Of the two Wahlberg brothers, I’ve always been convinced that Donnie Wahlberg is the more talented of the two. While little brother Mark has gotten all the A-list attention and big screen credits, everything he’s done has been trumped by Donnie’s greatest achievement — Carwood...

Cha-Ching! Family Guy Dude Gets Paid by FOX

Family Guy Spin-Off Cleveland Gets 13-Episode Order

You know, to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know if the Family Guy spin-off, to just be called Cleveland, will even make it to the 13 episodes. Is there really such a big fanbase for a slow-talking black guy with a mustache who likes to take baths and talk about sexing it up with the old...

Giggling Jimmy Fallon to Replace Funny Conan O’Brien

Well I guess that movie career didn’t exactly pan out for Jimmy Fallon. Then again, I’m not sure what Hollywood was thinking trying to make a leading man out of an okay looking guy who can’t tell half a joke without giggling like a shy little schoolgirl. Oh well. With the movie career...

T’Challa, the king of Wakanda, will probably never make it to the big screen (damn the man! they’re not ready for an ass-kicking brotha from the jungle, that’s the problem), but that doesn’t mean he will be denied completely. Variety reports that the black entertainment channel...

Mike Myers to Host 2008 MTV Movie Awards

Canuck funnyman Mike Myers (pictured, left) has landed the gig to host the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, Myers’ second go-around at the mostly pointless awards show. It used to be that no one showed up at the MTV Movie Awards unless the producers had told them they had already won beforehand, but not...
