8 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Jack Bauer is officially back: Fox has confirmed its plans to bring "24" back to its airwaves next year.
The show will return in the summer of 2014 as an event series called "24: Live Another Day." Kiefer Sutherland has signed on to play Jack Bauer again, with the story picking up several years after the last season, which aired in 2009. There's no word yet on any other casting.
"Live Another Day" will run for 12 weeks and keep its real-time format, but Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly says it may skip hours here and there.
"As [executive producer Howard Gordon] would design the season, the spine of the 24 episodes was really about 12 hours. Those were where the big events occurred, and then there were little twists and connective tissue in between," Reilly told reporters on a conference call Monday (May 13). Each episode of "Live Another Day" will still unfold over the course of an hour, but »

3 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
It has been a rough week for many in Hollywood who make their living making TV, and Matthew Perry is among them. NBC canceled his freshman sitcom, Go On, as part of a massive housecleaning effort in a bid to gain viewers. But did sports reporter Dan Moriarty know about that when he interviewed Perry at an L.A. Kings game? Hopefully not, as Moriarty brings up the delicate subject by asking, "So, big news today and congratulations is in order." "Oh, thank you," a nonplussed Perry replies. "You mean because of the show

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is getting a makeover. After Camille Grammer and Adrienne Maloof's sudden exit from the show, sources tell E!

But despite having the answer to one lingering query, the question still remains as to who, exactly, will be joining the show. Although recent reports claim »

Matthew Perry Awkwardly Gets Congratulated (Twice!) on Go On's Cancellation
21 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Fox Sports West reporter Dan Moriarty is apparently one of those kick-'em-while-they're-down kind of guys. Or maybe he just never watched Go On (he should have, it was funny). While catching up with Matthew Perry at an L.A. Kings hockey game, Moriarty exclaimed, "Big news today and congratulations is in order!" The big news was that Perry's NBC series Go On had been canceled. Perry, being as good natured and quick on his feet as, say, Chandler Bing, responded, "Oh, thank you. You're talking about my show getting canceled? It was sort of a sad day because of the people and I'm going to miss them." He continued, with a laugh, "But, »

Dr. Joyce Brothers Dead, TV Psychologist and Talk-Show Host Was 85
35 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
You remember correctly—that was Dr. Joyce Brothers sitting in as one of the announcers during the climactic baseball scene in The Naked Gun. The famed advice columnist and talk-show host, who pioneered the art of giving advice on TV and frequently played herself in TV and movie cameos, died today in her native New York City. She was 85. The Columbia University-educated psychologist, born Joyce Diane Bauer, had a history-making TV debut in 1955 when she became the the first (and ultimately only) woman to ever win the game show The $64,000 Question. Who wouldn't have wanted her advice after that?! That exposure led to broadcast guest appearances and then she started hosting The Joyce »
Andy Samberg's Cop Comedy Shows Promise for Fox's Fall Lineup
36 minutes ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Very little time at Monday's Fox 2013-14 upfront presentation was devoted to the elephant in New York's Beacon Theater - America Idol's troubled, near-completed season - except to compare the show's long-running success to Gunsmoke's. This caused a moment's pause, not only with the thought that the incredibly influential, always buzzed-about Idol could ever be gone, but also with the reflection that at some time in the future it would be completely irrelevant. Ah well. The bulk of Fox's smoothly clockwork presentation, of course, kept an eye on that future, at least a few months from now, with clips of upcoming shows. »

Cannes Film Review: ‘Miele’
52 minutes ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
A young woman assisting the critically ill to commit suicide has a crisis of conscience when a client is existentially, rather than physically, weary in thesp Valeria Golino’s impressively nuanced helming debut, “Miele.” Approaching the delicate theme of euthanasia with restraint, and aided by Gergely Poharnok’s expert lensing, Golino makes the leap into the director’s chair with consummate assurance, drawing out the script’s subtleties with only a few unnecessary glitches while coaxing a topnotch perf from Jasmine Trinca. Middling Italian B.O. following a May 1 opening should be made sweeter by fest and arthouse support.
Also making a feature-length debut, as producer, is Riccardo Scamarcio, dismissed as just a handsome heartthrob when he first began acting but increasingly positioning himself as a talent to watch in front of and behind the screen. Buena Onda, the shingle he founded with Golino and Viola Prestieri, looks set to »

The Nine Things We Learned at the Fox Upfront
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Fox's upfront this afternoon focused on social media, "engagement," and tried-and-true methods -- unlike previous years, where the focus was Idol, Idol, Idol. There are new comedies, there are new dramas, there's even a science miniseries. Here's what we learned: 1. We're apparently ready for a '90s-set sitcom. Or so Fox hopes. Chris Meloni will test the waters in Surviving Jack, a comedy a gruff guy attempting to connect with his teenage kids. Featured nostalgia "Good Vibrations," slightly bigger hair and, uh, no Internet.2. Fox is realllllly into "[something] for a new generation." Kevin Reilly invoked that construct several times throughout the presentation. Cosmos will be (old) Cosmos "for a new generation." Andre Braugher is Lou Grant for a new generation. Gang Related is like "Miami Vice for a new generation." And Meloni is supposedly following in the footsteps of Al Bundy and Bernie Mac as a mean dad for, »
