To judge from the show's brand new promo, Glee's second season will also be a meditation on not-stopping-believing: The singers vie to attend nationals, which take place in New York City, and they've got the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys spunk and smiley lip-sync prowess to pull it off. Video after the jump.
No, seriously: You won't. "He's probably the only guy who can do it, and he's doing TV now," said executive producer Paul Lieberstein of the Oscar nominated actor he hopes to add to the cast in the wake of Steve Carell's imminent departure. Just who is this mystery actor? Here's a hint: He's Harvey Keitel.
Let's talk about how wacky tonight's Top Chef challenge is: It's so bizarre that the show may lose the dignity it accrued by winning the Best Reality Competition Series Emmy. You might even call the challenge "out of this world." And you would be correct. Literally.
Instead of enjoying the fruits of his successful Emmy-hosting labor, Jimmy Fallon is stewing over NBC's refusal to secure the online repurposing rights to Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." Because of this legal oversight, NBC is unable to post Jimmy's Glee-ful Emmy opening -- the highlight of the telecast -- online.
The 17th edition of The Amazing Race is nearly upon us, and since the show finally lost the Reality Competition Series Emmy to Top Chef, I can feel good about liking it again. Let's break down the 11 competing teams, assign them unfair titles, and pick a possible winner.
While Kelsey Grammer prays that NBC may be interested in Frasier: The Next Generation, the network is busy developing a much larger-scale project with the help of Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore. The still-untitled drama is being described as "an adult Harry Potter set in a world ruled not by science but by magic," and let's just hope that no one asks Conan O'Brien for advice on what it should be called.

It was one infodump after another on last night's Warehouse 13, as Artie, H.G. Wells and Todd from the hardware store fleshed out their backstories. Why was Artie charged with treason? Why was H.G. Wells bronzed? And why does Todd always mope around like a kicked puppy with a speech impediment? (Mumbler!) Oh, there were answers -- via a few emotionally charged monologues mingled with pleas for forgiveness. And there was also a surprising number of artifacts as torture devices, which were put to the test on our heroes. More painful than having to sit through their long, revelatory speeches? Let's get to the roundup!
After months of indecision about the name of his new talk show on TBS, Conan O'Brien has finally released a video with the official announcement. And honestly, the name is pretttty disappointing, especially considering all of the potential titles Movieline readers suggested. Click through to check the video out for yourself, and don't say I didn't warn you...
On the heels of two failed series (R.I.P. Back to You and Hank), it looks like Kelsey Grammer is finally considering the one foolproof project he's had in his back pocket for the past six years: a Frasier spin-off. See his tentative pitch to the Twitter community below.
There was something for everyone in last night's afterhours programming. On the Late Show, a concerned David Letterman asked Michael Douglas 20 questions about throat cancer. Elsewhere, Craig Ferguson appealed to James Lipton, Drew Barrymore discussed some of her racier ad-libs, Don Johnson joked about his coke-fueled days in Miami and Kim Kardashian relived her Emmy experience with Jay Leno.
Also in this morning's TV Bites: Seth Green's new reality show calls forth the apocalypse... a former Heroes star visits The Mentalist... and slightly more ahead. (Just because it's September, doesn't mean it can't feel like August!)
In attempt to clean up the good name of the Real Housewives franchise after New Jersey's primal castmates tore it to shreds during last night's reunion, Bravo has released a three-minute preview of its latest offshoot. The Beverly Hills edition (premiering October 16) promises plumped and pulled housewives who would never rip the weaves off of their costars, multi-million dollar mansions that are not under foreclosure, and -- get this -- relatives of actual celebrities. Below, five other enticing details about the Beverly Hills women that will have you tuning in this fall.
Project Runway's most indispensable fashion guru, Tim Gunn, may have interacted with FBI head J. Edgar Hoover at his most "stylish" moment, shall we say. Gunn, whose father George William Gunn was Hoover's ghostwriter in the '50s and '60s, speculates in his upcoming book Tim Gunn: Gunn's Golden Rules that he met Hoover once when he was dressed as I Love Lucy legend Vivian Vance. To read the startling, not-so-Desilu details, carry on through.
You can finally wipe the sweat from your brow because Will Forte has confirmed that he is not exiting Saturday Night Live to shoot a sequel to his box-office flop MacGruber. Instead, the actor will spend his retirement "playing volleyball and drinking beer." In an interview published yesterday, Forte revealed that he decided to leave after seven seasons because he "turned 40 and started getting very... introspective." That being said, Forte is totally open to returning to Studio 8H to reprise the crafty character for a few minutes. "If they ever wanted me to come back and do a 'MacGruber" for one episode,' Forte offered, "I would." [JoBlo]
So to speak, anyway. The star of Flipping Out will entertain a new venture for his business in tonight's episode. Elsewhere on the tube, Melissa Joan Hart tries on a bad boy, America's Got Talent progresses, and we revisit Julie Bowen's finest '90s hour.
