What Leonard Nimoy’s Retirement Means to Fringe

Unless you’re a giant nerd, you might not have noticed that Leonard Nimoy announced that he’s retiring from acting: “I’ve been doing this professionally for 60 years. I love the idea of going out on a positive note.” The positive note he refers to is J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek , a film series that he’ll have no problem detaching from — after all, one Spock is really enough. But what of Nimoy’s other Abrams enterprise, Fringe ? That’s where things get more complicated.

TV Bites: A Daytime Talk Show For Tori Spelling

Is Kara DioGuardi the Best Judge on American Idol?

American Idol ‘s current season of contestants is spottier than a D.I.Y. dye-job., but the judging panel isn’t exactly a cohesive powerhouse either. Between Randy Jackson, Ellen DeGeneres, and Simon Cowell, critiques have been vague, pandering, and suspiciously biased , respectively. Meanwhile, Kara DioGuardi has improved from her first season, now ably diagnosing issues with song choices and artistic intention. Could the withering backlash against her have had more to do with her sometimes-cloying way of addressing the contestants than with her views themselves? Here are three advantages Kara has over her fellow judges:

Late Night Highlights: Marilyn Monroe’s X-Rays, J. Lo’s Scent and Jay Leno’s Sex Ed

You may not know this, but George Lopez is Kate Gosselin’s biggest fan when it comes to Dancing with the Stars . I am not sure what he has invested in the mother of eight’s win, but he has repeatedly begged his Lopez Tonight viewers to vote for her, rallied his Twitter followers and even appealed to Larry King’s audience last week to “Vote for Kate!” Last night, the TBS comedian took his support up a notch by inviting Steve-O onto the show to literally staple his support. That clip, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while cursing the fact that your network forfeited Bret Michaels for nine spoiled party girls, after the jump.

Hey, Glee: Popular Struck Madonna’s Pose First

Now that Glee ‘s “Vogue” sorta-parody has become a source of viral fixation, it’s time to pay dues to the other Ryan Murphy show with a lookalike Madonna tribute : Popular . The beloved ’99-’01 WB series featured Melissa Etheridge’s ex Tammy Lynn Michaels as high school queen bee Nicole Julian, and during one pep squad rehearsal, Nicole summoned the noir lighting and geometric poses of the Material Guru’s gayest (and greatest) video. So how does she measure up to gay-and-great Jane Lynch?

How Well Does Kiefer Sutherland Clean Up After A Strip Club Hangover?

Kiefer Sutherland was sitting outside of a London strip club last Friday morning at 4 A.M. : drunk, sore from being manhandled by bouncers, and exhausted from robot-dancing the night away . In a scenario straight out of a Bizarro World 24 , the actor had only a few hours to sober up before promoting his Sundance bomb Twelve on one of Britain’s most popular talk shows. How did the real-life Jack Bauer fare?

Matrix This

Get ready for the Approval Matrix , a new television series from Bravo that literally rips a page from New York Magazine . The in-development show will feature four rotating pundits who categorize that week’s pop culture news into the four quadrants employed by the magazine: Highbrow Brilliant, Highbrow Despicable, Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable. Bravo (which, by the way, fits somewhere between the Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable on the grid) says that “celebrity guests” (translation: Bethenny Frankel) will visit the show to offer their own opinions on news. Best Week Ever , anyone? [ The Wrap ]

Glee Does Madonna: Rating the Three Last Covers

Over the weekend, three of Glee ‘s Madonna covers were released in their entirety, leaving Movieline editor Christopher Rosen in a pile of gleegasms . The full setlist has hit YouTube now, and we’re picking right up where he left off. The only problem? These songs feel less like a ray of light and more like chapters in a grating bedtime story.
