White House Party Crashers Speak Out On Today Show

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:04:00 PST

The now-infamous White House party crashers are also apparently masters of evading questions, as they proved during an appearance Tuesday on the Today show.

In their first media appearance since Michaele and Tareq Salahi allegedly sneaked into the Nov. 24 White House State Dinner, the couple said they are "devastated" by the accusations and insist they were invited guests.

The interview went something like this:

Matt Lauer: "WHO invited you?"

Tareq: "Well, you know Matt, one of the things…

Music on TV This Week: Band of Skulls

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:15:00 PST

Most would assume that bands were clamoring to get onto New Moon's soundtrack, but for many, like the UK's Band of Skulls, it wasn't even on their radar. In fact, the band found out via the Los Angeles Times that a demo they'd recorded after finishing their debut album (Baby Darling Doll Face Honey) had been pegged for inclusion. It wasn't until singer/guitarist Russell…

Top Ten Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Models

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:07:00 PST

Enough about New Moon -- this is the week for the guys to drool a little. It's time for the airing of the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (CBS, Tuesday 10 p.m.), which was held a couple of weeks ago. While the Black Eyed Peas were in attendance doing their thing (wherever there are cameras, the Peas will never be far away), the show is all about the models, both the veterans who helped make Victoria's Secret the biggest name in underwear and the up-and-comers who will be the dominant…

What2Watch: Top Chef Cleans The Plate

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:45:00 PST

While consensus is that Project Runway is showing real signs of fatigue, its old Bravo running mate Top Chef seems healthier than ever. It continues to draw leading guest judges from across the food world (not that I know who any of them are, but the oohing and aahing from the bowled-over cheftestants speaks volumes). And young chefs who already have a lot going for them have proven willing to give everything up for several weeks in order to win this competition. This season's final four --…

And so in the end, it was Donny Osmond for the win after all. After ten weeks in Season Nine of Dancing With the Stars, after all the pratfalls and bouts of flu and scores of 30 for Mya, we got the result most of us had assumed would be the case back when the cast was first announced.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 Series Finale "Bittersweet"

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:38:00 PST

For better or worse ... Jon & Kate Plus 8 is over.

The TLC reality show ended its three-year run with Monday night's series finale. Of course, the Gosselins aren't going away anytime soon. Their messy divorce battle continues to play out in the tabloids and on TV.

In the finale, Kate called the ending of the show "bittersweet." Jon effectively ended the show, which was originally planned to continue under the new title Kate Plus 8, by banning TLC cameras from filming the couple's eight…

ABC Cancels Adam Lambert After Controversial AMAs Performance

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:16:00 PST

Turns out Jennifer Lopez wasn't the most talked-about performer at the American Music Awards.

Adam Lambert is persona non-grata at ABC after his controversial on-stage antics at the live awards show.

Lambert was scheduled to perform on ABC's Good Morning America this week, but the morning show pulled out after viewers complained about Lambert's sexually suggestive performance at the AMAs, which aired on ABC.

"Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about…

Dancing With the Stars Recap: A Mya/Osmond Showdown

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:55:00 PST

As the final night of competition in Season Nine of Dancing With the Stars came down the home stretch, things were unfolding mostly as expected, and it appeared voters would be left with obvious choices. If America wanted to vote for pure dancing prowess, Mya would win, easily. If the voters sided with which dancer showed the most growth, Kelly Osbourne would benefit. And if the determining factor was sheer popularity, a Donny Osmond runaway could be in the cards.

But the season-ending…
