In Memoriam: American Idol’s Michael Lynche

The American Idol audience is getting a hold on this “Vote out the right contestant, please” idea. Two weeks in a row, we’ve watched the correct troubadour saunter back to an awaiting womb — last week jiving fetus Aaron Kelly crawled back into the one he calls home, and and this week Michael Lynche was forced to acknowledge his wife and their newborn. Tough luck. After the jump, we reflect on Michael Lynche’s legacy with a fast funeral where Kara DioGuardi’s tears don’t seem as embarrassing.

American Idol: Dueling Duets [Recaps]

The final four sang for their suppers last night and boy was it mediocre. Just really, really kinda OK. It had its high-ish points and its low-ish ones too, but mostly it was just extremely aight. More

Dancing with the Stars Elimination: Niecy Come, Niecy Go

While Niecy Nash’s departure last night on Dancing with the Stars is rough for Reno 911 zealots everywhere, America should take pride in ushering her so far in the competition. Ultimately, she was the fifth-best dancer — if we accept that Pam Anderson deserved fourth and Chad Ochocinco actually deserved sixth. Now that she’s off, is anyone else hoping she’ll start a low-octane fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck ? Keep this woman in my newsfeed, please! Video of her elimination after the jump.

Glee: These Ladies Are Tramps [Recaps]

Is there one girl on Glee who is not a slut? Mercedes, Santana, Brittany, Rachel—they were all fighting for the attention of men last night. At least it gave them some pretty things to sing about. More

The V Strategy Guide: Who Came Out on Top This Week?

The Visitors’ scheming came to quite a head in this week’s V, which saw our seemingly genial alien race leveling ultimatums and forcing hands left and right. (And some resistance members did a little double-crossing of their own.) But were all those threats and follow-throughs well-executed by our competing species? Read on and find out.

American Idol Recap: Who Gave Us Movie Magic?

The final four. Three of these American Idol contestants win a victorious trip home, ticker tape, and a bust of Randy Jackson from the mayor, while one retreats to a life of inevitable obesity. Is there any stopping the judges’ call of a Bowersox-DeWyze final two? Or are we in for a surprise tomorrow night? We’re breaking it down fairly, ranking “Songs from the Cinema” night’s performances (including the duets) from worst to best. Videos included! Spoiler: Die, Randy.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Ham Game [Recaps]

In last night’s second episode of the second season (a little of the old Chuck Woolery “two and two”), we learned more about the Real Children of New Jersey. Most of the things we learned were bad. More

Gossip Girl: Daddy Issues [Recaps]

Like Hamlet and Maury , Gossip Girl is often about paternity. Is he my father? Is he not my father? Is my new dad poisoning my mother? Who’s your daddy? So many important questions, so few DNA tests. More

The Gossip Girl Pun Index: Moving Pieces on the Board

With only two episodes left in the season, Gossip Girl has finally decided to let its characters in on most of the season’s big secrets. So: Jenny’s drug-dealing past has finally been brought to Rufus’ attention; Rufus’ possible infidelities have been brought to Serena’s attention; Vanessa’s three-month internship with CNN has been brought to Dan’s attention; and William’s feelings for Lilly have been brought to everyone’s attention. Though Lilly’s fake cancer diagnosis (tip: Don’t trust your doctor if he’s your ex-husband and still in love with you) is still hanging over the show like a cloud of Chanel perfume. Still, for an episode so ripe with set-up, Gossip Girl herself kept the puns to a minimum. Maybe this should be the Gossip Girl Witticism Index instead? Click ahead for the fun.

Celebrity Apprentice: Did Donald Trump Fire the Only Professional Contestant?

This may shock you, but I think Donald Trump fired Olympic gold medalist Summer Sanders last night on Celebrity Apprentice because she wasn’t entertaining enough. I know, I know — that kind behavior is unheard of, unbelievable. and not outlined in Heloise’s Tome of Reality TV Etiquette . But it’s the way it is — Summer was championed by execs throughout the season for her solid, professional efforts, and she never once forced a gym representative to choke herself with anxiety ( ahem, Bret ). In tribute to our fallen Summer , Movieline will now inspect the kinds of professional employees left in the game. Would you hire these people over a power-suited marvel like Summer?
