Last night was the last round of non-Wild Card semifinals of this, the eighth unending season of American Idol. A weird kid soared, one lady roared, and something called Lil' Rounds was fellated.

Another children's book is ruined, Christopher Nolan plans his next project (yay!), a crazy old rich man gets his day in Hollywood, Mickey Rourke steamrolls on, as does, sigh Sherri Shepherd.

Felicity Huffman was on Letterman last night when the subject of her husband, William H. Macy, replacing the sushi-poisoned Jeremy Piven in the play Speed-the-Plow play came up. Felicity wasn't exactly kind to the Piv.

Where is there to really start with Real Housewives of New York? This show is such a terrific pile of insanity. We were in the Hamptons again, kicking up sand and divets as always.

Today we have a celebrity with a terrible pickup line, an actress whose boyfriend thinks they're dating but she says they're really not, and a reality star who had sex parties in high school.

Sure, Jimmy Fallon was awkward on his Late Night debut, as first-time hosts tend to be. But expectations are so low the comedian just needed to show a little promise. That he did.

Last time we checked in with Justine Bateman, the Family Ties star was getting territorial about how her Tumblr posts were reblogged. Now she's angrily learning what a "White Whine" is.
