The Hills Reality Check: When Your Svengali is Sad

Per usual, last night’s episode of The Hills , “This is Goodbye,” started with a brief recap of the previous week’s installment before narrator Kristin Cavallari teased, “But no one could have predicted what was about to happen next.” The thing is, Kristin, everyone could have predicted what happened in last night’s episode: Spencer descended even further into madness, someone enjoyed a catty patio lunch, Heidi’s zombie-like gaze worried her friends, someone cried, and Kristin continued to flirt with Brody. What they could not predict though was that there was one moment so real , that viewers forgot for a split second that they were watching the most canned reality show in MTV history.

Having conquered Sundance (or at least gotten an earful from the critics), director Derek Cianfrance, Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling have now descended on the Cannes Film Festival with their film Blue Valentine — screened in Un Certain Regard. Hey, wait a minute — hasn’t Movieline covered this film before? Like, viciously?

American Idol Recap: Who’s Finale-Bound?

Three singers. Six songs. A thousand depilated Seacrest neck hairs. Millions of “uhs” from the judges. One billion subliminal Coke mentions. For 60 minutes last night, the numbers added up to one grueling Top 3 week on American Idol . The heat was on as the remaining three vocalists sang two covers for the approval of our texting digits. So, who’s going on to the finale? Is it Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze, or Casey James? We’ve ranked all six performances from last night, and our recommendation for the Final Two is crystal er, startlingly clear.

On Way Out the Door, At Least Campbell Brown is Honest

Rather than wait for CNN to drop the ax on her and her 8 p.m. broadcast, Campbell Brown fell on her sword Tuesday. The news show host announced she’d be leaving the network because, in her words, “not enough people want to watch my program, and I owe it to myself and to CNN to get out of the way so that CNN can try something else.” No bias, no bull, indeed!

Still No Ghostbusters Sequel, But How About a No-Budget Remake?

The egos, age, money and cynicism thwarting any reasonable hope for Ghostbusters 3 clearly have a lot of people down. Just look at the sullen group of New York Public Library visitors in the video after the jump. What they need — what we all need, really — is a little reassurance that our appreciation isn’t misplaced. And as if on cue, it seemed to walk right through the front door.
