Is Eva Longoria Parker on Team Nicollette?

16 and Pregnant Creator Morgan J. Freeman On His Journey From Laguna Beach to Teenage Crisis

If you’re not familiar with writer-producer-director Morgan J. Freeman, here is a primer: The multi-hyphenate’s debut feature, Hurricane Streets , starring Edie Falco and Brendan Sexton III ( Welcome to the Dollhouse ), was the first narrative project to win three awards at Sundance in 1997. Freeman went on to direct other films including Desert Blue and American Psycho 2 while launching a successful career producing reality television shows for MTV. His first series, Laguna Beach , spawned two spin-offs and two years ago, Freeman created 16 and Pregnant , which has already spun off another successful social commentary series for MTV, Teen Moms . Movieline caught up with Freeman recently to discuss how 16 and Pregnant has been a “dream come true” for his inner storyteller, why the series hits home with so many audience members and how all of his projects — scripted or not — are related.

If you’ve been faithfully tuning into NBC’ s family drama Parenthood each week, waiting for confirmation that your primetime tastes run racy, consider the title of last night’s episode “The Big ‘O'” your sign from above.

Veronica Mars Lives

Well, kind of. Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas told EW that a film based on the UPN detective series has not been ruled out, just put on hold temporarily at Warner Bros. But Thomas did concede that he has a limited window to push the film forward: “There is a bit of a ticking clock [because] Kristen Bell does continue to age…But frankly, I think Veronica Mars as a 30-year-old noir detective at some point in the future would still be interesting to me.” Better get cracking — the actress turns 30 this summer.

Up is down! Right is wrong! You say goodbye, I say hello.

(Shame on Donald Trump for not thinking of this brand promotion first.) In honor of the new show, let’s revisit four not-so-classic game shows where contestants plunged into despair and often took our tolerance with them.

Tracy Morgan’s Feud with Stedman, and 6 Other Factoids About the 30 Rock Star

For today’s “Funny People”-themed episode of Oprah , the media empress wrangled three NBC comedians into her studio to make her audience laugh. Tina Fey and Steve Carell entertained the studio by talking about licking stripper poles and humping stages on the set of Date Night (which Oprah endorsed as “laugh-out-loud funny!”). Then the next comedian, Tracy Morgan, took the stage. Only instead of just sharing some knee slappers, the 30 Rock star got gritty when Oprah revealed a school picture of Morgan at the age of six. “Awwwww,” the studio audience cooed. “Yeah,” responded Morgan, “that’s the year my dad left me!” And that was only first bit of knowledge dropped on audience members — the rest, including the subject that made Morgan tear up instantly, after the jump.
