8 Ways Grey’s Anatomy Perpetuated Season-Finale Cliches

Here at Movieline HQ, all anyone can talk about today — besides the suicide-worthy Liza Minnelli “Single Ladies” cover — is the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy . Did you see this thing? For the uninitiated — or for those of you who stopped watching long ago — the hospital was under attack from a crazed gunman who wanted to exact some revenge on McDreamy and his cohorts because they pulled the plug on his brain-dead wife. (Never mind that pesky DNR form.) And what revenge it was: Shocking deaths, many shootings, fake blood by the gallons and more cliches than most series pack into an entire season. Aspiring screenwriters, grab a pencil and take some notes. After the jump, a list of the offenses.

About That Time Bret Michaels Suffered a Brain Hemorrhage While Watching Busty Cops 3

Yesterday, Bret Michaels appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show via satellite to discuss the brain hemorrhage that sent him into critical condition last month. Wearing a freshly pressed navy blue bandanna, the rock star and Celebrity Apprentice contestant solemnly described his injury for the first time: “It sounded like a small handgun went off in the back of my head.” As informative as the segment was, Michaels left out one detail that definitely would have interested Oprah: which porno movie he happened to be watching when he suffered the life-threatening hemorrhage.

Mock The CW if you will, but it appears they have learned from past mistakes. Or at least from the now-jettisoned Melrose Place . The schedule of shows that the Little Network That Really Can’t tossed out for the fall season this morning is filled with smart risks, logical pairings and plenty of demographically friendly content.

Your 2012 Olympic Mascots: Jolliest. Cyclops. Ever.

Please welcome Wenlock and Mandeville to popcult superstardom, ladies and gents. They’re the newly assigned Olympic mascots for the 2012 games in London, and together, they have enough legs to compete in doubles badminton but only enough eyes for one pair of swim goggles. Adorable! For the more practical Olympic fan, Mandeville can be flipped over and used to open a Corona. The duo’s official back-story — and their other Dreamworks-baiting photos — are as precious, metallic, and weird as you expect.
