Shirtless, Fresh and Hungry: The 2014 MTV Movie Awards
“The Wolf of Wall Street” apparently didn’t howl quite loud enough to wrest the top golden popcorn trophies from the claws of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards Sunday at the Nokia Theatre, where it claimed Best Picture, Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence) and Best Actor (Josh Hutcherson). The always irreverent two-hour awards show seems to go by in a flash compared to other ceremonies, because of the fast...
Racism, Ratings and George Lopez’ Last Night on Late Night
The “baddest show in late night,” as host George Lopez called it, is now relegated to the history books. And if there is such a thing, the television business etiquette books, under the chapter of “How Not to Fire Your Cast and Crew.” Could there have been any less respectful way for TBS to have made a major schedule change than by unceremoniously dumping George Lopez from his late-night perch with scarcely 36 hours...

Basic cable isn’t so bad. Just ask Jon...

Jay Date
NBC didn’t waste any time announcing the start date of what’s now being called “The Jay Leno Show,” although that title could change. He’ll be on at 10 starting Sept. 14. Leno went out with a bang after 17 years in the Tonight Show chair, having the grace to seat Conan O’Brien as his last guest and making a plea to the audience to support him. Conan, in his first show, also took time to pay tribute...
