American Idol: The Last Two People On Earth [Recaps]

Well, that was that. The last time that an American Idol Season 9 contestant will sing for sweet, sweet survival votes. How do you feel? Sad? Happy? Relieved? Drunk? Mostly I feel all those things. Come, let’s discuss. More

Dancing with the Stars’s Winner: Do We Jive in Approval?

The dance critic prefers Nicole Scherzinger. The primed athlete wants Evan Lysacek. The underdog backer votes for Erin Andrews. But America’s voters are mostly none of those things, so what matters when it comes to selecting the winner of Dancing with the Stars ? Being liked, that’s what. Last night, DWTS crowned its 10th season champion and closed a cycle full of expert tangos and perfect quicksteps.

Last Night on 30 Rock: Sky Law

As good as the season finale of 30 Rock was — and as winningly charming and funny as Matt Damon wound up being — there was something unavoidably disappointing about the whole thing. Because Liz Lemon’s new boyfriend — the seemingly perfect-for-her pilot, Carroll — is played by_ Matt Damon_, you know it isn’t going to end well. And that’s too bad.
