Real Housewives of New Jersey Reality Check: Ex-Cons, Guns and the Ham Game

Last week on the Real Housewives of New Jersey , Jacqueline drank wine and played with loaded guns while Christopher worked an afternoon shift at Scores strip club.

So pour yourself a glass of your husband’s finest Port, drape yourself in his ammo belts and click through to see which moments hit the Real/Fake Jackpot in last night’s episode, “Into the Lion’s Den.”

Kevin Eubanks Bids Farewell to The Tonight Show

You didn’t see this on Friday night because you stopped paying attention to Jay Leno a long time ago, but Kevin Eubanks ended his stint as bandleader on The Tonight Show after 18 years — and yes, apparently NBC is folding the five-month sojourn to The Jay Leno Show into Tonight Show history. Who knew?! Anyway, as Leno is prone to do, his goodbye speech to Eubanks was filled with faux-sincerity, but you do get the feeling that Jay will really miss him. If only because it’s doubtful that replacement, American Idol band leader Rickey Minor, will be a ready-made laugh track and comedy foil. After the jump, watch the tribute video The Tonight Show put together for Eubanks, which — surprise! — is actually kinda funny. Well, for Jay Leno.

Don’t Stop Believin’: 5 Things You Need to Know About the Glee Live Tour

To answer your first question: Yes, they did serve alcohol at Radio City Music Hall during the Glee Live concert. And that’s probably a good thing since Saturday’s matinee was filled with almost as many adults as screaming ‘tweens. Though while it would be very easy to crack that alcohol is the only way an adult could get through 90 minutes of in-your-face Glee gasms, the fact of the matter is that the live show — or concert, if you please — is blessed with great production value and performances. Mostly. The tour ends on Sunday, but here are five things you’ll need to know before you purchase the inevitable DVD release.

Sex and the City 2: The Myth of the Critic-Proof Movie

Ah, Memorial Day Weekend. The unofficial start of summer has finally arrived and so to have the annual think pieces about the relevancy of film critics. If it feels like this is happening earlier here in 2010 than it did in 2009, that’s because it is. The debate didn’t start last year until Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen dropped a big turd on multiplexes — it had a 20 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes — yet still garnered $836 million worldwide from viewers. This year the party got started with Sex and the City 2 , a film so roundly hated by film critics that it has drawn comparisons to feces, terrorism and rape. And yet for every negative review, it feels like another 100 tickets are sold. The conventional wisdom states that Sex and the City 2 is “critic-proof,” but that implies that critics matter to a film’s financial success. Spoiler: They don’t.
