<p><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/2013/05/seth-mcfarlane-guest-starring-on-the-simpsons/simpsons-homer-and-ben/" rel="attachment wp-att-18572"><img src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/simpsons-homer-and-ben.jpg" alt="simpsons-homer-and-ben" width="259" height="173" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-18572" /></a>Seth MacFarlane is guest starring in the May 19th finale of FOX&#8217;s The Simpsons, along with Lisa Lampanelli.</p>
<p>McFarlane&#8217;s Family Guy, also on Fox, have had a friendly, competitive rivalry for years.</p>
<p>Seth plays Ben, a smooth operator that Marge accidentally met on a website for cheating spouses.</p>
<p>“We thought we had a great part that he’d be perfect for, and it would be great to have him on our show, so it worked out just right,” Simpsons executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly regarding the casting of MacFarlane, noting: “There’s been a little rivalry. We’re both humor shows and we make jokes, but it’s always been friendly.”</p>
<p>Lisa, who plays Ben&#8217;s wife in the episode, has also lost over 100 pounds in real life, and is proud of her new body: “I’ve lost a total of 106 pounds,” Lampanelli told In Touch magazine. “I feel like I’ve reached the weight I’m supposed to be. I’m officially a skinny b*tch!”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the male characters embark on a quest to Iceland, Carl&#8217;s homeland.</p>
<p>The Simpsons finale airs on FOX, May 19th.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(PCM) More details will be announced soon, but we just got the official news from FOX &#8211; 24 will be returning with Kiefer Sutherland reprising his role as Jack Bauer.</p>
<p>Sutherland&#8217;s most recent TV venture, Touch, was recently cancelled, and talks to make a movie with the Jack Bauer never panned out. Given the fast-paced format, it is probably best suited as a 12-part mini-series instead of a two and a half hour film.</p>
<p>The show was last seen in 2010, after an eight-season run. </p>
<p>24: Live Another Day returns in May 2014</p>

<p>Newbie broadcaster A.J. Clemente followed that up by telling us his &#8220;is a graduate of West Virginia who is used to the East Coast.&#8221;</p>
<p>Co-anchor Van Tieu was thrown off by Clemente’s colorful first choice words and the helped bring us worst the intro to a local news market of all time. Officially, he has been suspended.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(PCM) The video making the rounds (below, but will probably disappear soon) is an amateur edit Family Guy episode &#8220;Turban Cowboy,&#8221; shown on FOX on March 17, ended with a scene depicting Peter Griffin accidentally blowing up a bridge by dialing a terrorist&#8217;s cell phone. But in the manipulated video making the rounds online, the cell phone scene is placed immediately after an unrelated moment in the episode when broadcaster Bob Costas, playing himself, asks Peter how he won the Boston Marathon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="475" height="267" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H5U5LiHnutw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen><a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H5U5LiHnutw" target="_blank">Video Here</a></iframe></p>
<p>Aside from the confusion prompted in people unaware that the clip is a hoax, it&#8217;s drawn criticism from those involved with the show Seth McFarlane announced on his <a href="http://twitter.com/SethMacFarlane/status/324224774421217282" target="_blank">twitter</a>: &#8220;The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent. The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims.&#8221;</p>

<p>Bindi, the 14-year-old daughter of Steve and Terri Irwin, has been surrounded by animals her whole life. Americans first met her on her father&#8217;s &#8220;Crocodile Hunter&#8221; show and documentaries. She has starred in her own animal-themed series &#8220;Bindi: The Jungle Girl,&#8221; as well as the movie &#8220;Free Willy: Escape from Pirate&#8217;s Cove.&#8221; Her father, Steve Irwin, at age 44, died in 2006, killed by a stingray.</p>
<p>&#8220;With &#8216;Bindi&#8217;s Bootcamp,&#8217; we wanted to create a show that would test kids&#8217; mental prowess, endurance and inner strength, all while inspiring them to respect nature and conservation,&#8221; Sander Schwartz, president of FremantleMedia Kids &amp; Family Entertainment, said in a statement Monday. &#8220;Starz Kids &amp; Family [channel] is dedicated to bringing unique and rich shows to families across America, and they will be the perfect home for this incredible wildlife adventure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shot on location at the Irwin family&#8217;s Australia Zoo, &#8220;Bindi&#8217;s Bootcamp&#8221; originally premiered in July 2012 on Network ABC3 in Australia.</p>

<p>Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, said in a news release the season premiere drew the series&#8217; largest audience to date, averaging 4.4 million viewers in its 9 p.m. EDT time slot, up from the previous record of 4.2 million who tuned in for last season&#8217;s finale. &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; is based on the fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s official!<br />
(PCM) Jay Leno publicly congratulated Jimmy Fallon after NBC confirmed Wednesday Fallon will replace Leno as host of &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; in New York in spring 2014.</p>
<p>&#8220;Congratulations, Jimmy,&#8221; said Leno, who has been &#8220;Tonight&#8221; emcee for 22 years in Burbank, California&#8221;I hope you&#8217;re as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you&#8217;re the old guy. If you need me, I&#8217;ll be at the garage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow,&#8221; Fallon, 38, said.</p>
<p>The announcement ended weeks of speculation regarding who will replace Leno, 62, and when, as well as whether Leno&#8217;s departure was his idea or NBC&#8217;s.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years,&#8221; NBCUniversal Chief Executive Officer Steve Burke said in a statement. &#8220;His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC. We are purposefully making this change when Jay is No. 1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was No. 1. Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time. I&#8217;m thrilled he will become the sixth host of &#8216;The Tonight Show&#8217; at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year&#8217;s Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia.&#8221;</p>
<p>The network previously booted Leno as host of &#8220;Tonight&#8221; at the end of the 2008-09 season, despite high ratings, and gave the position to &#8220;Late Night&#8221; host Conan O&#8217;Brien to keep O&#8217;Brien from moving to another network, and to court younger viewers in the same time slot. They later gave it back to Leno.</p>
<p>That ugly divorce ended with O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s own talk show &#8220;Conan&#8221; on TBS, which announced Monday it has renewed the show through November 2015.</p>
<p>Fallon&#8217;s former boss at &#8220;Saturday Night Live, &#8221; Lorne Micheals, is to serve as executive producer of &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; when it moved back to its original home of 30 Rockefeller Center, in New York City.</p>
<p>NBC said that new plans for the 12:35 a.m., Jimmy Fallon&#8217;s &#8220;Late Show&#8221; slot, are in development and will be announced soon.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/rogue.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-18532" style="margin: 5px;" alt="rogue" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/rogue-250x166.jpg" width="250" height="166" /></a>By Debra Wallace</p>
<p>(PCM) When Thandie Newton plays an undercover cop who gets involved with a crime boss, and the rest of his family, a complex and confusing relationship develops. This is the premise of Newton’s starring role in <strong>Rogue</strong>, a <strong>DIRECTV original series that is premiering on Wednesday, April 9 at 9 p.m. on the DIRECTV Audience Network</strong>.</p>
<p>As a morally and emotionally conflicted police detective, Newton’s character Grace, is tormented by the death of her young son, and her search for the truth leads to forbidden relationships with a powerful and dangerous crime boss led by Jimmy Laszlo (Marton Csokas), his two sons Alec (Joshua Sasse), and Max (Matthew Beard), and Alec’s wife Cathy (Leah Gibson).</p>
<p>Newton gives the performance of her life in the new suspense drama Rogue. The writing and performances by Csokas, Sasse, and Gibson, give us a gritty, powerful, suspenseful, terse, memorable and edge-of-your seat crime drama.</p>
<p>As the star of the new series, Newton was clearly a role model for the up-and-coming stars of the riveting new crime drama Rouge. The cast members also say they quickly bonded while filming Rogue on location in Vancouver.</p>
<p>Known for her great beauty and her amazing talent and range, Newton is an award-winning stage, screen and TV actress. On screen, Newton was most recently seen starring in Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds. The mother of two young girls, her other recent films include Retreat, For Colored Girls, 2012, Crash, Mission Impossible 2, and W.</p>
<p>Newton is actively involved in the V-Day Foundation, as well as causes that support women survivors of sexual violence by helping them develop their leadership skills. Newton spoke at the TED Global Conference in 2011 on the topic of “Embracing Otherness,” which has been viewed more than 750,000 times.<br />
A native of London where he still resides, Sasse, auditioned for Rogue on a Tuesday, and literally three days later, arrived in Vancouver to begin preparing for his role as a young gangster, who has an overbearing father, a demanding wife and young child.<br />
When he is not working, Sasse is a strong supporter of the Umbrella Foundation, an organization that rescues destitute children in war-torn Nepal, a place that is extremely close to his heart.</p>
<p>Gibson, a native of Victoria. British Columbia, began dancing at the age of four, marking the beginning of many years of training in ballet, modern, jazz and Broadway jazz. After starting a film and TV career, she has appeared in Twilight sage: Eclipse, Watchmen, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. She too, is active in charities, namely the Adam Beach Foundation, which advocates for suicide prevention for young people in North America.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Thandie-Newton11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-18529" style="margin: 5px;" alt="Thandie-Newton1" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Thandie-Newton11-250x166.jpg" width="250" height="166" /></a>Q: What was it like playing this role, because it almost sounds like you&#8217;re playing someone who is acting since she straddles two worlds?</strong></p>
<p><strong>THANDIE NEWTON:</strong> Initially, it was. My character, Grace, is undercover at the beginning and she&#8217;s nearly broken the case, that&#8217;s where we start the story, and there are very clear demarcations between when she&#8217;s going to work and when she&#8217;s at home.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Please tell me more.</strong></p>
<p><strong>TN:</strong> Well, obviously all of that changes when her son dies, and she goes back undercover in order to discover what happened to her boy. And then the lines become blurred. So at that point I don&#8217;t feel like I was playing someone who was playing a role. What&#8217;s interesting, about the character for me was that she loses who she is. She is on a journey of discovery of who she now is, after having lost a child. There&#8217;s no grief like it. So, the idea of playing a role within a role, yeah. That was fun, but it didn&#8217;t last long.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What attracted you to the role? Was it the chance to play this woman looking for herself?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TN:</strong> It was a lot of things. I was really keen to work on a TV show. I felt frustrated by the stunted nature of sort of adult drama, and the characters that I was portraying. I really wanted to work on something that had more of an arc, more complexity, and I think the best adult drama is in television these days. Certainly there&#8217;s more choice.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What else can you say about playing the role of Grace?</strong></p>
<p><strong>TN:</strong> This was a fantastic story. The character is very compelling, and it&#8217;s one of the most interesting roles I&#8217;ve ever played, and I think possibly the best work I&#8217;ve ever done in 20 years. I really got to explore all the dimensions to the story, which is, more than anything, character‑driven. And it&#8217;s a psychological drama, and everything that happens in the story is driven by character and by emotion, and that is something, for an actor, there&#8217;s nothing like it.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Josh-Sasse1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-18531" style="margin: 5px;" alt="Josh-Sasse1" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Josh-Sasse1-250x223.jpg" width="250" height="223" /></a>Q: What did you use to get into mindset of your character?</strong></p>
<p><strong>JOSHUA SASSE:</strong> The writing actually gave us a lot. We were able to talk to the show’s writer and creator, Matthew Parker, he was on set every day and he adopted a very collaborative attitude with all of us. We were able to build those characters and grow with him. Matthew had a very good idea where each of these people was coming from so we looked to him an awful lot and he let us know what he wanted. And then we were able to bring our own stuff to the plate. Each person was playing homage to their own idols, or what ever it was they draw their experience from.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How else did you wrap your head around the guy you play, this young gangster and family man who quickly flies off the handle to his detriment?</strong></p>
<p><strong>JS:</strong> One of things I drew on was that his volatility was key to the show. I watched an interview that Charles Manson had done and [snap] he just suddenly flipped and his character came out of no where. It looked like it even surprised him and he had these two sides of him. And that fascinated me. So I really tried to delve in with [my character] Alec and work out what his triggers were – that was really important. And sometimes that come at the most unexpected times.</p>
<p><strong>Q: There are several graphic sex scenes in Rogue, that are also a pivotal part of the story-line talk about playing them.</strong></p>
<p><strong>JS:</strong> They are telling a story so it is not just a sex scene. We spent a lot of time talking about the reason that it was happening. What we were trying to achieve in the end. It wasn’t just an empty bit of porn &#8211; it was there for a reason.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why did you audition for Rogue?</strong></p>
<p><strong>JS:</strong> Look, shows with the quality of this writing don’t come around a lot. So when something comes up we hear about it very quickly. I was making a film in Czechoslovakian Republic at the time, and I thought I was going to miss the boat on this one. But I came back and they still hadn’t cast my character. I auditioned for it. Anything about the Mafia or the underworld in America fascinates me. It’s something no one wants to miss out on. From the minute I picked up the script, I was hooked. The complexity and intricacies of the web of these worlds is incredible. It’s an honor to be an actor when you get handed a script like this.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why did you want to do this role?</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Rouge-Leah.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-18530" style="margin: 5px;" alt="Rouge-Leah" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Rouge-Leah-250x333.jpg" width="250" height="333" /></a>LEAH GIBSON:</strong> I knew that Thandie Newton was attached to it, so I knew it was going to be a quality project. She has been so brilliant in films for her to want to do TV interested me. I read the pilot episode and it was clear to me, this show is different, intriguing, when you draws you in just reading it on the paper, you know this is something good, something special.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How was it choreographing the sex scenes?</strong></p>
<p><strong>LG:</strong> We had a female director for our love scene which I was appreciative of. I haven’t seen the finished product. We talked about that scene for two weeks before. It was basically my audition scene – I went through a handful of auditions and my final test was what they call a ‘chemistry read’ between Josh and I – a new actor they brought out from the UK as the character of Alec, so that was to test the husband/wife bond sort of thing. We literally work-shopped that scene off the page for my audition. It’s a very strong and powerful scene and I think that we honor the intention of the scene. To me it’s not a scene about sex. It’s a scene about high emotional stakes and power play and those elements.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How did you get into mindset of your character?</strong></p>
<p><strong>LG:</strong> To me this show is very much character driven. And the characters are defined by the relationships between one another. My character of Cathy came to life for me when Josh and were working together at the audition test. All of a sudden I really understood her and her place in the grant scheme of things and in the Laszlo family.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Anything else come into play?</strong></p>
<p><strong>LG:</strong> To me, I like to just draw on strong female archetypes, to me Cathy is such a strong woman. To me she seems so nasty and hard at times, but to me it is grounded in a female instinct like a protective grizzly bear wanting to protect her family. So I just played around with different female archetypal figures that you draw inspiration from and connect to.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TBS announced on Monday that they were renewing Conan O’Brien’s show through November, 2015. Then again, they announced it on April 1st, so we’ll see how things work out after the contrived Jay Leno/Jimmy Fallon late night ‘war’.</p>
<p>“When we invited Conan O’Brien to come to TBS, we knew he would bring with him a passionately loyal following of young adults,&#8221; Turner president Michael Wright said in a statement.  &#8220;Conan and his colleagues at Team Coco have gone far beyond that by making &#8216;Conan&#8217; the top late-night brand in the digital arena. We are proud to extend our relationship with Conan as he continues to forge the future of late night. I just wish we didn’t decide to tell him on April Fools&#8217; Day.&#8221;</p>

Nicki Minaj came to conquer, to win, and she did. Nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award in the category of Best New Artist, Minaj’s rapping technique has been hailed by critics for its use of alter-egos, accents (notably, British) and rapid-fire pace. Equally well-known for her unique sense of style, her use of colorful wigs and outlandish costumes ranks her as one of the world’s leading fashion icons. Minaj is in the midst of her <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Friday:_Reloaded_Tour" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Friday:_Reloaded_Tour">Pink Friday: RELOADED Tour</a>.</p>
<p>We recently had a chance to speak with Nicki Minaj about American Idol, her judging style, and more!  Check out the interview below:</p>
<p><strong>Q:What have been your best and worst moments on American Idol?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NICKI MINAJ:</strong> My best and worst IDOL moments, I don’t have a worst IDOL moment.  I’ve been spectacular.  Yes, I’m going to toot my own horn.  And then, my best moment is every single moment, I’ll toot it again.</p>
<p><strong>Q:In your opinion who do you see right now as the front runner for Season 12?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I would say Kree and Angie I think are our front runners.  I mean Kree, Angie, and Candice.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Any reason for those three?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I think that outside of their voices they’ve just sort of won people over already, which I think is evident in just what I see on Twitter with my fans.  You know those three singers have really, really made an impact not only with just a great voice that sounds like it should already be making albums but for some reason their personality seems to … a lot of fans.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How do you feel about the fact that a lot of people have said you know, “When I started watching IDOL with Nicki Minaj I wasn’t really familiar with who she was or maybe I had some idea about her but now I think she’s the best thing that ever happened to this show.  I love her judging style.”  How do you feel about winning new fans over just by being on the show like that?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I think God is good.  I feel like my entire career and life I’ve been judged by people who really did not know me, but I don’t think that they—I definitely think that they probably were right to assume what they had assumed about me because there was such little to go on, you know, out there.  If you only see videos and me being crazy and hearing little things here and there then obviously you’re not going to have any idea who I really am.</p>
<p>I’m just happy that IDOL producers gave me a shot on the show for me to be able to show who I really was because I feel like I’m every single women.  I really, really don’t think outside of maybe some pink wigs that there’s anything that separates me from every other women in America, so I’m just happy that I was given the opportunity.  Some people don’t get an opportunity to show the world who they really are.  Some people come out and put an album out and people just never talk about them again, but I was given an opportunity to show who I was as a human being and I really appreciate that.</p>
<p><strong>Q: One of the things that you always seem to focus on with the constantans is not just their performance but their whole look, their package, their clothing right down to their belt or their lipstick.  Do you feel in this day and age that is just as important as the performance?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I think so.  I mean I don’t think that ultimately it will have anything to do with them winning IDOL because I feel like the IDOL viewer is really not bias when it comes to the look.  But I think that when you go out in to the real world as an artist you may want to think about it.  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with thinking about how you want to look, how you want to present yourself to the world.</p>
<p>I also think that they need to hear criticism on their look on the show because that’s what they’re going to be criticized on in the real world.  They’re going to go on … every single day and see themselves on the worst dressed list or best dressed list or saying they look bad or whatever so they need to start getting an idea of the real world.</p>
<p><strong>Q: If you were asked to return to AMERICAN IDOL next season would you do so? </strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> Would I come back next season?  I think people would rather be surprised.  I like to save the mystery and the drama.  I never give that away, but you know what I always say this and I mean this from the bottom of my heart that just the people behind the scenes at IDOL have been just like a dream to work with and I really, really honestly mean that.  Mike Darnell took a chance on me.  Nobody else understood it.  They were like, “Nicki who?” and he took a chance on me.  He believed in me.  His daughter and his wife believed in me and so I’m just super grateful to have been given the opportunity.</p>
<p><strong>Q: You’re kind of a polarizing person on that judging panel.  How do you feel about that as an image and are you just being you and people are just reacting to you?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I am absolutely just being me.  I didn’t know what to expect going in to the show.  I was so nervous.  I had a lot of anxiety.  I felt like, “Okay.  I know everybody’s just going to hate me.  Oh well.”  There were moments in the audition process that I would say to the producers, “I can’t do this anymore because if everyone is going to give good critic and I’m going to be the only one being honest then America is going to hate me.  I’m going to be seen as mean.”  And the producers said, “Nicki, trust me America is going to appreciate the honesty” and that’s all I had to go on.</p>
<p>I had Mike Darnell, Trish and Nigel telling me that, you know, take their work and that’s what I did.  I took their word, and I came in every day and I was myself.   What people see me doing with the constants is exactly what I do with my fans.  Well, I don’t critic my fans but I definitely play with my fans and speak to my fans as if they’re my friends, and that’s why I started giving the contestants nicknames.</p>
<p>When I’m laughing on the show I’m genuinely laughing.  I can’t come up there and pretend.  I just can’t do it.  I can’t be someone I’m not.  I can’t sit there with a phony smile on my face; I can’t do it.  I’m happy that people are responding well to it.  I mean if I’m polarizing I’m polarizing.  I don’t know, but I definitely didn’t have a preconceived notion of who I was going to be on that panel.</p>
<p><strong>Q:So has the reality of it been what you thought it would be going in?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I didn’t have a real idea because it was so farfetched from my reality.  Like I’ve never done anything even remotely close to this so I had no idea, and I think that’s why I was so afraid.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I really didn’t.  I just didn’t know but I’m happy about the way it ended up turning out because it’s a fun thing.  It’s a once in a lifetime experience, and, again, I feel like people have gotten to know the real me and that’s all I can ask for.  Whether they like it or not at least they’re getting to know who I really am.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/nicki2.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-18518" style="margin: 5px;" alt="nicki2" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/nicki2-250x172.jpg" /></a>Q: Is there anything in particular that you’ve been surprised to learn about yourself as a person through judging a show like AMERICAN IDOL?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I’ve been more surprised about the way people have reacted to me like because it almost seems like people weren’t expecting artists to come up there as judges and be completely real, and that’s the only thing that puzzled me.  I just thought, “Hmm isn’t that what we should be doing?  Why is that so shocking to people?”</p>
<p>I mean I guess the other thing was I didn’t realize that maybe I am a bit strange because like the way people react to what I say to the contestants it’s like that’s really how I act but people think it’s kind of strange.  Like when I asked Kree to marry me I didn’t think that was strange but I guess looking back at it now maybe no IDOL judge has ever asked a contestant to marry them on live TV.  I don’t know.  I guess in general I’m just surprised at the way people react to things that I see as very normal.</p>
<p><strong>Q: You seem very emotionally connected to the contestants.  Is it hard for you with that connection when someone is eliminated?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> Yeah.  I mean I was like gutted when Curtis left because I feel like Curtis—his voice—I mean I feel like Curtis has the best male voice for the entire season, and he was exciting.  I couldn’t wait to see him perform, and looking back now I wish we would have given him the save.  I really do.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How is your experience being a judge on AMERICAN IDOL compare to how you thought it might be?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> Well, I definitely did not have an idea of what it would be because I had never done anything close to AMERICAN IDOL I’ve never had to sit in front of you know 15 million to 18 million people every week and speak so I did not have an idea of what it would be.  I think one of the things that I probably was shocked about was how interested the world is in AMERICAN IDOL and how people, you know writers they write about IDOL all the time.  I guess I didn’t expect that; maybe that was the only thing but for the most part I just didn’t have any idea on what to expect.</p>
<p><strong>Q: So you have loved giving a lot of the contestants like little nicknames that have been really fun.  If you had the opportunity to give yourself a nickname what would you call yourself?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> Young Hold</p>
<p><strong>Q: Any explanation behind that?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I don’t know it’s just Young Hold meaning like the young—well, no I don’t want to explain it.  Either you understand it or you don’t and if you don’t understand it it makes it even weirder.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Out of the contestants that you’ve had on this show, who would you most likely, if ever, collaborate with and why?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> That’s a great question.  I would love to collaborate with probably Burnell.  He has a genre legend thing that I could definitely see myself collaborating with.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Fans love you because you’re being honest as well as nurturing.  How do you make that balance in making sure that you’re being yourself and you’re giving the contestants honest advice without perhaps upsetting them?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NM:</strong> I don’t really think about balancing anything.  I just react on my real emotion.  This last week I felt like you know I sympathized with Lazaro and that’s just where my heart went.  With Paul Jolley I felt like you’re time is up.  But you know even when I’m saying, “Your time is up” or “That was a bad performance” I still care about these people.  I mean these people are sweet.  They’re loving.  They’re chasing their dream.  Their families are there.  I’m always in my heart carrying about them.  I never try to hurt them at all, but I just say what I really, really feel.</p>
<p>I have been finding lately that I’ve been probably—since we’re down to the very best of the best I’ve definitely been trying to say things in a way that won’t discourage them because I want them to continue shining.  I mean I know this is their moment and that one of these people will be the next AMERICAN IDOL so whereas maybe in the beginning I would say it in a blunt way, sometimes now because we’ve gotten so close to them I say it in a way that I just want them to fix it for next week so that they can actually stay in the competition and get votes you know as opposed to me speaking to them as if I’m writing them off and I have 100 more people to see, if that makes sense.</p>
<p><strong>AMERICAN IDOL</strong> airs Wednesdays from 8:00 to 10:00 PM on FOX.  AMERICAN IDOL will celebrate it&#8217;s 450th episode this Thursday, 3/28, where another contestant will be eliminated.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/revoluition1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-18509" alt="revoluition1" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/revoluition1-475x366.jpg" width="475" height="366" /></a></p>
<p>(PCM) The NBC hit series Revolution will return tonight airing at 10/9c with an all new episode titled &#8220;The Stand&#8221;. If you have been following Revolution closely then you are well aware that the last episode left us with quite a cliffhanger as Monroe and his army have harnessed the power contained in the pendant and appeared to be heading out for all out war against the rebel forces.</p>
<p>I recently had an early look at tonight&#8217;s episode and can say without a doubt that it is chock full of non-stop action and of course quite a bit of suspense, with one major surprise coming at the end. Unfortunately I can not give away too many details but this episode does a fantastic job of tying up a few loose ends and of course unraveling quite a few new mysteries along the way. Being that I was always a huge fan of show such as LOST, I am used to quite a bit of frustrating mystery and unanswered questions throughout a series, however what I am truly enjoying about following Revolution is that we are receiving answers to our questions at a much faster pace, and while the show does seem to keep some bit of intrigue, the process of figuring out exactly what is going does not appear to be as muddled and it definitely leaves the viewer feeling a little less &#8216;lost&#8217; in keeping up with the overall story-line.</p>
<p>I, for one, absolutely cannot wait to see what is in-store for the rest of this season and if tonight&#8217;s episode is any indication of what is to come then Revolution certainly won&#8217;t disappoint. Be sure to tune in to NBC tonight at 10/9c for an all new episode of Revolution!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Watch the first eight minutes of &#8220;The Stand&#8221; below:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(PCM) We are pleased to share with you an exclusive clip from this coming  Tuesday&#8217;s (3/19)  all new episode of Oxygen&#8217;s &#8220;The Face&#8221;!</p>
<p>In the clip, brutally honest talk show host <b>Wendy Williams</b> makes a surprise guest appearance to interview “The Face” contestants Ebony and Devyn about their backgrounds as aspiring models, but things quickly get heated when Wendy asks Devyn if it is hard to be a “black girl model”. Devyn controversially responds by saying she doesn’t think of herself as a “black girl model”, rather a fair skinned international model, which supermodel judge <b>Naomi Campbell</b> feels is a huge disgrace.</p>
<p>Check out the full clip below:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(PCM) WWE has extended an invitation to talk show host and political commentator, Glenn Beck to appear live this Monday on <i>Raw</i>, in response to a segment that aired on TheBlaze TV yesterday. In the segment, Beck references WWE as “stupid wrestling people,” when criticizing a recent WWE storyline involving WWE characters Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio<b><i><sup>®</sup></i></b>, Jack Swagger<b><i><sup>®</sup></i></b> and Zeb Colter<b><i><sup>®</sup></i></b>. WWE is giving Beck the opportunity to address our 14 million weekly viewers and our global fan base, as he believes we are offending our “conservative” fans with this storyline.</p>
<p>You can view the Glenn Beck segment below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://mlb.mlb.com/shared/video/embed/embed.html?width=400&amp;height=254&amp;content_id=25605833&amp;property=theblaze" height="254" width="400" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Similar to other television shows and feature films, WWE is in the entertainment business, creating fictional characters that serve as protagonists or antagonists. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines. WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE’s large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/BEYONCE¦ü-Final-Poster_RS.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-18472" style="margin: 5px;" alt="BEYONCE¦ü Final Poster_RS" src="http://pcm-tv.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/BEYONCE¦ü-Final-Poster_RS-250x369.jpg" width="250" height="369" /></a>(PCM) Coming this weekend, multiple Grammy winner, entrepreneur, and actress Beyoncé is the focus of an intimate feature-length HBO documentary film that debuts this Saturday, February 16. Directed by the superstar herself, the film is a fusion of video that provides raw, unprecedented access to the private entertainment icon and high-voltage performances.</p>
<p>“HBO has a history of pushing every boundary with class and authenticity,” said Beyoncé. “Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold programming. This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home.”</p>
<p>The film is a multi-faceted portrait of the 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer, businesswoman, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, wife and mother, showing off the extraordinary gifts that have made her a global phenomenon, and stripping away the veneer of stardom. It includes extensive first-person footage, some of it shot by Beyoncé on her laptop, in which she reflects on the realities of celebrity, the refuge she finds onstage and the transcendent joy of becoming a mother last year.</p>
<p>The film sheds light on her childhood in Houston, with home movies revealing the close bond she built with her family and charts the challenges Beyoncé felt when she decided to manage her career and build her own company, Parkwood Entertainment. It also captures the intense physical and emotional demands she goes through in the studio, preparing for live performances, running a business and her family life, including her return to the spotlight after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in January 2012. Beyoncé also serves as the film’s executive producer.</p>

He competed in the Jeopardy Teen Tournament and won with a very gutsy answer.</p>
<p>He was in last place when he started the final day of the tournament, but he managed to turn things around in the final moments of the game. Leonard landed on the daily double and wagered $18,200, all his money, and got the correct answer. Then he and his fellow contestants headed into Final Jeopardy.</p>
<p>Alex Trebek posed the question, &#8220;On June 6, 1944 he said, &#8216;The eyes of the world are upon you.&#8221; First Alex went to Barrett who correctly answered with Dwight D. Eisenhower. Then he went to Nilai who could have won had he given the correct answer, but he didn&#8217;t. Finally the focus was on Leonard who had a smirk on his face as his answer was revealed, &#8220;Who is some guy in Normandy, but I just won $75,000.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Afro haired teen won Jeopardy like a boss.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(PCM) TLC steps back into the world of the bizarre and unfamiliar with the premiere of <b>MY STRANGE ADDICTION</b> on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wednesday, February 13 at 10 PM ET/PT</span>. Pulling back the curtain to peculiar lifestyles and addictions, the series’ fourth season will continue to explore a range of shocking behaviors, their origins and potential life-saving cures through eight half-hour episodes.</p>
<p>In the premiere, viewers will be introduced to Mike and Trina, a couple addicted to coffee enemas. Despite warnings from gastroenterologists, Mike and Trina rely heavily on this daily fix of caffeine, spending hours in the bathroom to achieve the clean sensation and energy they constantly crave.</p>
<p>We will also meet Lisa, a middle-aged woman from Detroit, who is addicted to eating cat fur. Lisa, who claims that chewing and swallowing the hair is comfortable and relaxing, will go to the source itself, grooming the cat with her own tongue as if she were its mother.</p>
<p>Other featured addictions this season: a young woman addicted to eating deodorant, a man who maintains intimate relationships with pool toy inflatables, a young mother addicted to butt injections, a woman addicted to bee stings, and a woman so addicted to vapor rub that she goes through more than 30 jars, inhalers and patches every week. The season culminates with a woman addicted to drinking blood.</p>
