Television’s Cute Kids Grow Up And Rock Out

November 8, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor Comments Off

“Former child star.” It’s almost impossible not to start thinking of words like “troubled,” “wayward” and “busted” when you hear that phrase, isn’t it? The roads out of Hollywood’s childhoods are littered with stories sad and tragic, of lives fractured or destroyed. But a number of once-young TV and movie darlings have gone on, in adolescence or soon afterward, to form bands that at least helped them transition out of their child-star perceptions, and at most gave them a chance to rub those perceptions in the dirt. Some of their careers have been short and some definitely hit the rough-and-tumble […]

Whale Wars: OMG! Somebody’s gonna die!

November 8, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By ElaineB Ice Road Truckers and those hunks on Deadliest Catch, move over. The scrawny crew of vegans on the Sea Shepherd have the REAL dangerous job. And they don’t even get paid to do it. Led by eco-warrior (or eco-terrorist, depending on your perspective) Paul Watson, the Sea Shepherd vessel Steve Irwin (Irwin’s widow christened the ship) travels the Antarctic waters in search of whaling ships that they will then disable or, if possible, sink. In the past, they have gone after illegal whalers, a perfect target for Watson and his crew as no government would bring charges for […]

Our Interview with Phil Collen

November 7, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor Comments Off

How did you get hooked up with Taylor Swift for “CMT Crossroads”? Phil Collen: Honestly, I think it was partly to do with the fact that we had teamed with Tim McGraw [on the song “Nine Lives”]. I think that kind of raised a bit of the interest. I think the main thing — you know, we actually started reading about Taylor Swift, and we saw this thing where she said if she was ever going to anything like Crossroads, the band she’d love to do it with would be Def Leppard. Right there, that pretty much set it rolling, […]

Survivor: Gabon, Week 7: Rise of the Dizzy Bat

November 7, 2008 Jill Klitz Comments Off

Kota senses a merge coming and discusses the plan for the Kota Six to mow down the Fang Four. They tell Susie that her anti-Corinne statements have made them question whether she would turn against them, and she assures them that no, she won’t sell them out. And then she tells the camera about how powerful she feels. That’s how a lot of this episode went — Susie saying that it’s in her best interest to stick with her alliance … or do the opposite. Corinne, who describes herself as an extremely vindictive person (you don’t say …), remains annoyed […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope NEVER ENDS – Update!

November 6, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Hey, kids — in case you didn’t see the “Next week on One Tree Hill” promo after this week’s episode, next Monday’s episode will be the big USO gig that Peyton and her bro have magically pulled together in two weeks’ time. (Really — you thought it took time and effort to pull off a large-scale outdoor concert? Ha …)

ANTM Brings Some Go-See Meltdown Fun

November 5, 2008 Ruth Boulet Comments Off

by Ruth Anne Boulet I’d just like to note that I, unlike every other ANTM blogger I saw, did not feel the need to reference The Police hit Roxanne. It just seemed too obvious. Red light. Top 5! OMG! Top 5! It’s so great! TyraMail lets the girls know that it’s go-see time. Awesome. Time to see some lost weepy models. Each girl gets their own boat to get to 5 designers before the 5pm deadline. Based on the graphic, it looks like the girls get 4 hours total time. The girls complain about the speed of the boats. They’re […]

“My Name Is Earl”: Little Bad Voodoo Brother

November 5, 2008 Ryan Berenz Comments Off

Earl is supposed to do No. 94 on his list, “Ruined Dodge and Earl Jr.’s Halloween,” and Joy insists that Earl throw a Halloween party for the boys and everyone in the neighborhood. Catalina’s nephew Osgar (It’s like Oscar but with an “O”) just arrived in a crate from Mexico. Which reminds Earl that he also has to do another item on his list: “Cost Randy a Little Brother.” Earl and Randy decide to go to the charitable organization Big Bros Little Bros to see if they can get a needy kid for Randy to mentor. But the people at […]

How I Met Your Mother: Happily Ever After

November 5, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 1

Posted by Mike Synopsis: Sure, Stella left Ted at the altar — yesterday — but that’s no reason for him to be feeling down. He claims he needs just two things to help him get through this: Kool and the Gang. (Well, that and his “New York guide to places you might run into Stella Zinman.”) But when Stella shows up at the restaurant where he and the gang are having dinner, he makes everyone hide under the table to avoid confrontation. Apparently that’s how they do it in Ohio. To help Ted sort out his feelings — and to […]

Dexter: Devil on one shoulder, angel on the other

November 4, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Elaine B All the action in “Sí, se puede” (a nice election week tie in, sí?) left me feeling a bit drained. In this case, ” Yes we can” means that Miguel turned out to be a perfect sidekick, even game for taking out white supremacist Clemson Galt. Naming Clemson, who is already in a maximum-security prison, as his next victim, Dexter hoped to dissuade Miguel from wanting to engage in some male bonding over a killing table. Unfortunately for Dex, Prado is an adrenaline junkie who figures out a way to get the swastika-tatted Clem out of prison […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope NEVER ENDS 8.5

November 4, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Posted by: haro1d First of all, if you’re reading this blog and you’re old enough to vote, I hope you’ve cast your ballot already. If not, get out there and make a difference! Lucas would expect it of you! Another slow night on OTH. To recap: The episode opens with Brooke having it out with Sam over the ruination of last week’s party at Brooke’s store. Brooke is getting a taste of what it’s like to do tough-love parenting. (Pretty weird when you think that Brooke is supposed to be what — 22 or 23? — and Sam is 15. […]
