Will Tonight’s Guest-Star-Laden 30 Rock Mark an Official Shark Jump?

Ever since the Megan Mullally-Oprah Winfrey-Steve Martin-Jennifer Aniston onslaught of season three, 30 Rock has garnered a reputation — good and bad — for booking esteemed guest-stars. We’ve been treated to appearances by everyone from James Franco to Jon Bon Jovi to Buzz Aldrin in the current season, and tonight’s episode, entitled “Emanuelle Goes to Dinosaur Land,” will present a full credits sequence worth of the show’s past gets — with room for surprises. Should we be worried that 30 Rock , a show that once gleamed with invention and singular personality, is now a carnivalesque showcase of showbiz connections?

REVIEW: Leading Ladies Lift Lovely Letters to Juliet

Gary Winick’s Letters to Juliet is such a gentle romantic comedy that it barely feels like a romantic comedy at all, at least not in the way we currently define the genre. There’s no Amy Adams hilariously slipping through the mud in her high heels, no Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey uproariously pretending not to like each other as they traipse around some tropical island in their shorts, no dueling brides catfighting about who’s going to have her dream wedding at the Plaza on a specific day. Letters to Juliet also has the distinction of featuring a marvelous performance from the woman who is, in my view, our greatest living actress.

Marilyn Manson Pays Watercolor Tribute to Lost

Though I was feeling a little down on Lost yesterday when executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse told HitFix that they had no plans to solve one of the show’s still-outstanding mysteries (just who was on the other end of that outrigger shootout last season?), I’ve found my fannish tendencies revived today by a most unlikely source: Marilyn Manson. The shock rocker painted a portrait of Lost’s John Locke for his bassist, Twiggy Ramirez, and while I might have preferred a watercolor Lapidus , this will do in a pinch. Check out a bigger version below. [ Facebook via Vulture ]

Best Worst Movie Director on Troll 2, Sequel Plans, and Why the Original Isn’t as Bad as You Heard

Any 10-year-old’s life would probably change when cast as the young lead in a horror film. But Michael Paul Stephenson wasn’t cast in just any horror film back in 1989. He whimpered and winced through Troll 2 , which has since earned a rarified cult-classic distinction as the worst movie ever made. And now, having lived to tell, Stevenson will this weekend unveil Best Worst Movie , his new documentary about living to tell.

SNL’s Kenan Thompson on Tough Accents, New Sketches, and His Dream Guest Host

The Saturday Night Live process can take a lot out of a person, as Movieline found out last week while speaking with Kenan Thompson in between rehearsals for the now legendary Betty White episode . In fact, the actor — whose skilled impressions (Al Roker, Whoopi, Tiger Woods) and inventive characters (Deandre Cole, Jean K. Jean) have made him the hardest-working male cast member this season — was so busy writing and rehearsing that he had no idea that Alec Baldwin had been confirmed as the season’s finale host. In spite of Kenan’s grueling schedule, he still found the energy to tell Movieline about the sketch he is dying to get on the air and the actors he would love to see host the show next season.

The ones to reach the Top 3 are Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Casey James.Though Casey James was a surprise element in the Top3, the other two names were indeed favorites among the audience. Michael Lynche received the fewest of America’s nearly 37 million votes – the highest of the season. On Tuesday’s performance show, the Top 4 performed hit songs from the movies, and Lynche, 26, sang “Will You Be There?” from “Free Willy.” In addition, this evening’s results show featured special performances by Daughtry, Fantasia and rock legend Bon Jovi. “It’s been unbelievable,” Lynche told host Ryan Seacrest after learning his fate. “I wasn’t even supposed to be here. … It’s all good, man.” “I’m here now, and I think how I wasn’t supposed to be here. Thank God for the judges saving me. I got to spend more time here, be with the people … it’s all good, man.” Next week, the Top 3 finalists will compete head-to-head on the second-to-last performance show of the season, airing Tuesday, May 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on Fox. Each contestant will sing two songs – judges’ choice and finalist’s choice – as they vie for a coveted spot in the finale. Tune in the following night, Wednesday, May 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), to find out which two finalists will face off in the final showdown at the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE. During the live results show, Travis Garland will take the stage, and pop sensation Justin Bieber will perform his hits “Baby” and “U Smile.” After the 18th May episode, only two will remain on the show after 19th May’s episode. These two would fight for the crown that is to be won on 26th May 2010 in the grand finale episode of the show. The finale would not only bid goodbye to one of the two finalists, but it would also end its journey with one of the judges, Simon Cowell who voluntarily left the show for The X Factor.
