Denise Richards Shares Her “Complicated” Reality

June 11, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

You might think you know Denise Richards, but she would beg to differ. While her film resume includes memorable turns as a sex-crazed femme fatale in Wild Things and a hot-pants-clad nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough, she’s more famous lately for her messy divorce from Charlie Sheen. The custody battle over the couple’s two daughters — Sam, 4, and Lola, 2 — has reached epic levels of public nastiness, with the accusations and name-calling from both sides becoming tabloid staples. Most recently, Sheen went to court to try to block Richards from starring in her own reality […]

June 9, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 3

Welcome to the new Nashville Star. What makes it new? Well, it’s on NBC now instead of USA Network, which means a lot more people will be watching. Also, Billy Ray Cyrus is the new host, with last season’s cohost Jewel moving to the judges table, where she’s joined by John Rich of Big & Rich and songwriter Jeffrey Steele.

Tonight, we get snippets from auditions good, […]

Swingtown Promises Summer Sizzle

June 6, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 1

One of the very first things Alice found when she fell down the rabbit hole in Lewis Carroll’s famous novel was a bottle that said simply, “Drink me.” Alice immediately looked for a warning, some sign that what was inside was not poison. Finding none, she tasted and, seduced by the exotic blend of scents and sweetness, finished it off. Cautious people would say that she was a fool, but I was part of the “Drink me” generation – indeed, “Drink this” was the beginning line of many a great weekend party while I was in college – and the […]

June 5, 2008 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Posted by RabbitEars Hey, animal lovers, here are some new shows, and notable new episodes, that you might enjoy this month: Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation (Season 4) — Animal Planet, Fridays beginning June 6.

Bill Engvall Puts Comedy In A Family Way

June 3, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Go ahead and call Bill Engvall middle of the road. That’s exactly where he’s aiming. He’s ridden his clean-as-a-whistle standup routine to glory as part of the megasuccessful Blue Collar Comedy Tour — where he pals around with fellow down-home funnymen Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy — and now stars in his own TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show. The show’s second season begins June 12. The Galveston, Texas, born comic is trying to emulate the family-friendly shows he has always loved, the kind of traditional three-camera laughfest that used to dominate the airwaves but people […]

More Stale Popcorn at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards?

June 2, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor 1

Posted by johnnysweeptheleg When I was in high school, I looked forward to the MTV Movie Awards more than the Oscars. Where else would Jason Voorhees receive the Lifetime Achievement Award? Or Alicia Silverstone take home two awards for The Crush? Yeah, remember that one? The acceptance speeches were always legendary, as well. Lest you forget Jim Carrey’s long-haired, bearded acceptance speech from ’99. I will never forget Keri Russell’s reaction when the bearded one fessed up to a lot of fine looking … well, if you saw it, you remember it. But the last few years have seen underwhelming […]

Isabella Rossellini Gets “Buzzy” In A New Project About The Sex Lives Of Insects, Arachnids And Annelids

June 1, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

She’s a representative of the Italian fashion industry. The child of screen legends Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, she’s been in touch with the glamorous life since birth. So what is Isabella Rossellini doing feigning sex with bugs while dressed up as one? Being hilarious, for starters. Rossellini is the brains behind a new series of Sundance Channel film shorts called Green Porno. The project stemmed from a request made by the network for her to produce something with an “environmental” theme. She chose the freaky ways bugs get freaky. “My love for animals is the one thing that has […]

Getting Lost: There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 and 3 Review

May 30, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 2

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg If we had told you before last night’s Season 4 finale aired that Jeremy Bentham was dead, would you have cared? Probably not, unless you were a philosophy major in college. Now, John Locke would have been another question entirely. As it turns out, they’re the same guy — and they’re both dead. Or are they? As Lost fans, we’ve been conditioned to question just about everything we see. As such, we’ve been trying to think of reasons Locke might still be alive. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

This is it. The last Lost preview of the season. Thursday night, beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT, ABC will air an encore of “There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1” with never-before-seen bonus footage followed by the two-hour season finale.

How does Faraday know about the Orchid station? Other than Sun’s dad, who […]
