The last time we checked, TNT wasn't in the habit of killing off its lead characters, so could the cable network have tied 'Game of Thrones' star and death-prone actor Sean Bean to his longest role yet? We'll find out, as the actor has signed on to head up TNT's upcoming Howard Gordon-produced drama 'Legends,' replacing actor Brendan Fraser in the lead role. Find out how Sean Bean is the stuff of 'Legends' inside!
For as much drama as HBO's 'The Newsroom' creates around Jeff Daniels' Will McAvoy and his supporting players, it's easy to forget that the show roots itself in real-life news events by keeping a timeline several months behind our own. Previously, we'd heard of a few guest stars joining the second season of HBO's buzzy Aaron Sorkin drama, but the latest confirms that former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will play a large role in season 2! So, are you ready to meet our new recurring cast member, a link to the famous one-percenter?
Reality judging competitions these days endure quite a bit of turnover in their judgeships, like the way the coming season of 'American Idol' will introduce Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj to replace the departing Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. So too could NBC's 'America's Got Talent' look a little different if Sharon Osbourne departs the series, but king of all media Howard Stern isn't going anywhere just yet. The media mogul has announced his decision to stay with 'America's Got Talent,' but who else might fill the seats?
It may have only taken ten years, but it looks like the playful rivalry between 'The Simpsons' and its sort of spiritual successor 'Family Guy' may finally be put to rest. While both FOX series have taken playful shots at one another over the years, the bridge has finally been built as 'Family Guy' creator and voice-artist Seth MacFarlane will lend his voice to an upcoming 'Simpsons' episode! Who might the golden-voiced 'Guy' play, and what does it have to do with 'Downton Abbey?'
Tolkien fans around the world are preparing for the December 14 release of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' in many different ways. Some have gone back to painstakingly watch Peter Jackson's original 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy (even if it takes place afterward), while others continue gluing their own hair to prosthetic feet in preparation for attending the release in costume. But how is life-long Tolkien fan Stephen Colbert preparing? With a full week of 'The Colbert Report' dedicated to the film, and spotlighting its cast as guests! Who will be in attendance?
For the almost-50 years that the UK's iconic 'Doctor Who' has existed in the realm of the public consciousness, perhaps no token has proved as recognizable, or enduring as The Doctor's legendary method of travel, his blue police box the TARDIS. The good Doctor could certainly not have achieved such notoriety without his legions of dedicated fans, one of whom in Australia has taken it on himself to perfectly re-create the interior of the Doctor's famous box in his home! Are you ready to step inside the real TARDIS?
As much as we'd love for the fallout from Angus T. Jones' religious rant against 'Two and Half Men' to continue on indefinitely, sooner or later an impass would have to be reached. Charlie Sheen can continue commenting on his former cast-mate's outburst, but given Jones' apology yesterday, there aren't likely to be many further developments. To that end, the actor is believed to stay at his 'Two and a Half Men' job for the moment, but will he leave at the end of the season?
While 'The Walking Dead' will shamble on for years to come and both 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men' still have some life in them yet, 'Hell On Wheels' remains halted on the tracks and it's no secret that AMC is going to need some new buzz-worthy programming to keep its current acclaim. Who better to come to the rescue then, than 'Breaking Bad's own producer Melissa Bernstein with '80s "Silicon Prairie" drama 'Halt & Catch Fire?' And who needs 'Hell On Wheels' when you have Revolutionary War drama 'Turn!' Details on AMC's latest inside!
While the 2012 'Doctor Who' Christmas special "The Snowmen" won't officially debut until - you guessed it - Christmas, The BBC has been kind and generous enough not to make our wait too arduous. In addition to the earlier clips, trailer and photos we've scouted, the network has released an official poster and synopsis of the episode, which will introduce Jenna-Louise Coleman as the Doctor's new companion Clara and pit the two against some seriously wicked snowmen. Ready for a look, then? Geronimo!
Talk about your Christmas come early! A few weeks ago during Jeremy Renner's stint hosting 'SNL,' we were ecstatic to learn that 'Django Unchained' star Jamie Foxx would return to hosting duties for the third time on December 8, with musical guest Ne-Yo. Now, 'Saturday Night Live' has unwrapped its best Christmas present yet, returning alumni Martin Short to the stage as host of the December 15 outing, accompanied by none other than musical legend Paul McCartney!
