Tom Hopper, Adetomiwa Edun, Rupert Young and Eoin Macken Talk Merlin
The Knights of the Round Table assembled earlier Wednesday to talk about their roles in the newest season of “Merlin.” Tom Hopper (Sir Percival), Adetomiwa Edun (Sir Elyan), Rupert Young (Sir Leon) and Eoin Macken (Sir Gwaine) obviously bring a lot of zest to an already popular show; off-screen, they seem like a real group of comrades, joking with each other like a true band of brothers. All of the actors were fans of “Merlin” before becoming a part of it. “I did [watch it] because it was a wonderful show,” said Macken. “They [the episodes] were written really, really well, and then we came along and ruined it.” Through...
Katherine Heigl Wants To Return To Grey's Anatomy
Katherine Heigl seemed to have burned a lot of bridges during her time on “Grey’s Anatomy,” what with her own statements about the quality of the show’s writing, her character Izzie’s relationship with George and the really weird relationship with her dead fiance Denny, her semi-unrealistic cancer storyline, and other little quirks. But Heigl, who left the series in 2010 to focus on being a parent, is now wondering if she can come back to the show. According to Entertainment Weekly, Heigl is reportedly wanting to return to her character. Entertainment Weekly states that in an interview with E!, Heigl said, “I’ve told them I want to [return].

Recap: Pan Am, Episode 12, New Frontiers
This is the final episode of “Pan Am”‘s first season. It might be the last episode ever for the show, considering how the ratings have been really bad. But who knows–maybe it’ll come back. It seems to have a loyal fanbase, but so did “The Playboy Club” and better shows that that, like “Rubicon.” Anyway, the synopsis for this week’s episode is a good one, considering we get some good things happening for the often tortured Colette. While working on the Clipper Majestic (destination: Rome, Italy) the meets a dashing man named Omar who asks her to accompany him while he takes in the city. The only issues surrounding Omar...

Recap: Project Runway All-Stars, Episode Three
This episode of “All-Stars” was mighty interesting, probably the most interesting challenge yet. This week, the designers had to design a dress for one of the most famous fashionistas ever, Miss Piggy! Yes, they had to design for a Muppet! Miss Piggy needed a dress to wear in order to promote her film, “The Muppets,” after all. Even though it’s part of our culture now to recognize the Muppets almost like real people, it was a little bit jarring to hear the contestants speak of her as a real person. Not like it’s impossible, though–like I said, it’s practically part of our culture to recognize the Muppets as thinking, autonomous...
Jersey Shore's The Unit Calls Himself An All-American Douchebag, But That's Not The Whole Story
Jonny “The Unit” Manfre calls himself “an all-American douchebag,” but there’s a lot more to the new addition to “Jersey Shore” than that particular title.

He told me to take it because it teaches you how to think logically and helps with anything you want to do.” He said he didn’t focus on being an adult after college and had to find himself. He eventually became big in mortgages, real estate, and...
