leann rimes wants "someone like you," too

she might be a homewrecker. she might have let tabloid tales overtake her career. but- girl can still sing. check out former country cutie leann rimes' take on adele's "someone like you" (above). too bad she has to perform it at state fairs and other less-than-stellar outlets.

she might be better than the real thing

comedian amy phillips gained notice when she starred as rachel zoe- alongside rachel zoe- in this parody. now the youtube star is taking on another bravolebrity, ramona singer. and she does it brilliantly. check out the hilarious viral video, in which amy-as-ramona addresses the unexpected cast changes at the real housewives of new york- above.

emmy recap 2011

the winners, the upsets and the most talked about moments- well, my most talked about moments.

jane lynch brought it as host of this year's awards. while i don't think she out-hosted jimmy fallon, she definitely held her own- especially in the opening montage.

another comedic highlight? the lonely island's performance medley. freak william macy, anyone?

now a break down of the awards:

• outstanding comedy series - modern family'

• outstanding drama series - mad men

• outstanding lead actress, miniseries/movie - kate winsley, mildred pierce -she's one award away from an egot- the tony. so, for now, she's just got an ego

• outstanding lead actor, drama - kyle chandler, friday night lights - the show finally gone some recognition from the academy, a nice send-off for the series' final season

• outstanding lead actress, drama - julianna marguiles, the good wife - yawn.

• outstanding supporting actor, drama - peter dinklage, game of thrones - yay little people!

• outstanding supporting actress, drama - margo martindale, justified - i never knew her name until now, so go margo!

• outstanding lead actress, comedy - melissa mccarthy, bridesmaids- i mean mike and molly

now's a good time to bring up my favorite moment of the night- the introductions for the best comedy actress nominees. in 2009, amy poehler planned the glasses bit. this year? they went above and beyond with a full-on pageant.

• outstanding lead actor, comedy - jim parsons, the big bang theory - yay, sheldon! and this proves the emmys aren't rigged, because steve carrel didn't get a pity statue for his final season of the office

• outstanding supporting actor, comedy - ty burrell, modern family - yay!

• outstanding supporting actress, comedy - julie bowen, modern family - and so conclude the 2011 modern family awards

the song

perfect summer-into-fall transition party music.

the show

movie review: i don't know how she does it

i don't know how she does it, either. and by "it" i mean play the exact same character in every movie she's in. sarah jessica parker channels carrie bradshaw: motherhood edition in this cutesy adaptation of the novel of the same name. i don't know how she does it follows kate (sjp), a high powered banking exec in boston whose life gets a little complicated when she lands a big account in new york. cue "i don't know how to parent, be a wife and work with pierce brosnan" montage. the flick entertains, featuring a stellar cast including greg kinnear, christina hendricks, seth meyers and a surprisingly likable olivia munn. there are plenty of laughs to be had during the hour and a half run time- but i don't know how she does it's biggest downfall is that it's not memorable. cliche after predictable cliche won't have you coming back for a second viewing. but, if you're looking for a nice escape, feel free to check out sjp in action.

day 3.271

they're back

the cw's released the trailer for the latest season of gossip girl. looks like the cast's ready to bring it- from coast to coast. i mean, they've got elizabeth hurley! check out the season 5 shenanigans above.

day 3.270

bye, bye jill and kkb

the fifth season of bravo's the real housewives of new york will look a little- ok, a lot- different. four of the seven cast members won't be back- including original wives jill zarin and alex mccord. they're joined by crazy lady kelly killoren bensimon and most recent addition cindy barshop. ramona singer, sonja morgan and luann "the countess" de lesseps will all be back- and expect some new ladies to join them. i'm not that distraught over this- the last two seasons have been overly drama filled, all brought on my miss zarin. i'm guessing bravo will keep the three ladies pictured above on the net in some capacity though- i can see alex and her husband simon doing some weird show with their kids, and kelly joining the judging panel on whatever design competition bravo attempts to launch next. and as for jill? former cast matebethenny frankel's said the upcoming third season of her show, now titled bethenny takes la, will most likely be her last, as she plans to launch a talk show (produced by ellen degeneres). taking jill off rhony will give audiences some time to forget how much of a villain she's been, just in time to launch a new docuseries about the ever-expanding zarin fabrics brand.

gleeking out

they're almost back! next week the kids of mckinley high return- here's a sneak peek of season 3, with plenty of brittany, santana and rachel to hold you over until next tuesday. they got the beat.

day 3.268

madonna, crazy person

she's always had the diva rap and now she's confirmed it. after a fan handed her a bouquet of hydrangeas, madonna thanked him through gritted teeth, then threw the flowers on the floor. check out the whole incident caught on tape (above)- lady m even turns to someone to say, "i absolutely loathe hydrangeas."

madge did reprieve herself- well, somewhat. the lady also known as esther recorded this (below) viral video poking fun at the incident, but it only confirms her diva-tude. still funny.

day 3.267

ashton kutcher, serial killer

ashton kutcher has never looked creepier than in this new clip from two and a half men. the former 70s show heart-throb replaces charlie sheen next monday on the his cbs series, but this new title sequence is just, well, strange.

they found jtt!

so, entertainment weekly is reuniting famous tv casts for an upcoming issue. while they were trying to keep it a secret, home improvement star patricia richardson just to happened to tweet a pic of her and the cast on set. and look! jonathan taylor thomas finally resurfaces. and, guess what? today's his 30th birthday! ew's since asked richardson to remove the pic, but there it is (above) in all its glory. i love reunion issues- can't wait to see who else they get back together.

day 3.262

the latest from newsy (well, me at newsy)

i anchored these with a sinus infection, so...

day 3.261

this. looks. phenomenal.

diablo cody and jason reitman are back together and i can. not. wait. the duo behind juno reunite for young adult, a flick about a 30-something young adult author- charlize theron, in a possibly comedic turn- who can't seem to grow up. when she decides her life isn't headed where she want it, she hightails to her hometown to reunite with an ex-boyfriend. too bad he's married with kids now- but that's not going to stop her. just the poster's out now, but can you imagine what amazingness this trailer will bring?

day 3.260

happy labor day!

movie review: the debt

an ass-kicking helen mirren? yes, please. the debt finally hit theaters this week. the story flashes between the 1960s and 1990s, following three intelligence operatives tasked with finding and capturing an infamous nazi surgeon, wanted for a war crimes trial in israel. the flick is fast paced and action packed, with the majority of the story taking place in 1960s germany. girl of the moment jessica chastain plays mirren's younger counterpart, rachel singer. rachel, david (sam worthington) and stefan (martin csokas) band together to track down the surgeon of birkenau. when they finally capture him, their plan goes awry and the trio must band together to figure out their next step. flash forward 30 plus years, and they're all national heroes for capturing the surgeon. but, are they telling the truth? after david mysteriously kills himself, rachel must confront her past and set the record straight- both historically and personally. with solid performances from both casts, the debt is a must-see ... even if the ending leaves you wanting more.
