         <title>Smallville:  Wedding Jitters</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/photo/2008-11/43526744.jpg" alt="Well, it WAS a lovely wedding, at first...."></div>Romance is in the air on this week’s gripping episode of <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/smallville/">Smallville</a></strong>.  Chloe and Jimmy get ready for their big day and even Lois and Clark share a few lingering stares.  Crazy things happen when people get all gussied up!  

<p>First, we see Chloe and Jimmy’s wedding day through the lens of a jumpy camcorder a la Cloverfield and we’re tipped off early on that things don’t end well for the happy couple.  Then, we jump back in time eight hours to fill in the missing pieces.</p>

<p>Lois plays the part of the perfect wedding planner, transforming the Kent barn into a fairytale destination.  She’s struggling with a bit of bride envy (who can blame her?) and Jimmy plants the idea in her head that, “Lois and Clark would be great together.”  Meddlesome boy!  Davis phone-stalks Chloe – as if she didn’t have enough to worry about.  And Oliver and Clark run after cyberspace routers that seem to imply Lex is out there sending emails.  <br />

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone experiences wedding-day jitters -- but on <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/smallville/">Smallville</a></strong>, things are even more fraught than normal because of a certain uninvited guest!

         <title>America&apos;s Next Top Model Has Been Crowned!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://central.tribunestaging.com/common/medialib/image/72003.jpg"  width="600" alt="America's Next Top Model Winner McKey" /></div>

<p>It's hard to believe last night was the finale for <b><a target="_blank"href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/americas_next_top_model/">America's Next Top Model Cycle 11</a></b>! Time flies when you're having fun. We were down to the final three: Analeigh, Samantha and McKey and we've got to be honest - at the beginning of Cycle 11, these were not the three we had picked to make it to the finale. That being said, watching their skills mature throughout the season was inspiring.</p>

<p>Cycle 10 winner Whitney joined the girls to introduce a new lip gloss from Cover Girl that's supposed to brighten your smile. Unfortunately for the girls, the commercial they shot not only had them memorizing lines - but lines in a foreign language. Oh, and they had to kiss another hot male model. What was with all of the kissing going on this cycle? Sam didn't have much energy during her attempt at a Cover Girl commercial. McKey's performance got progressively better in terms of line delivery but her head twitches didn't impress Mr. Jay. Poor Analeigh had a meltdown during her commercial taping.</p>

<div align="center"><embed allowScriptAccess="never"  saveEmbedTags="true" src="http://www.polldaddy.com/poll.swf" FlashVars="p=1123352" quality="high"  wmode="transparent"  bgcolor="&#035;ffffff" width="252"  height="401"  name="beta3" salign="tl" scale="autoscale"  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" ></embed></div>

<p>Jim de Yonker, who has been the photographer for the Cover Girl shoot for many seasons, directed the three finalists and it seemed clear that McKey was his favorite even though he called her "a bit cuckoo in the head". </p>]]></description>

         <title>Stylista:  The Weight of the World</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/photo/2008-11/43497644.jpg" alt="Who's that girl?"></div>On this week’s episode of <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/stylista/">Stylista</a></strong>, Danielle’s full figure was pushed into the forefront.  The fashion industry is notorious for celebrating folks such as Kate Moss and Twiggy for their slender figures, so way back at the season premiere when we were introduced to our esteemed contestants, we knew it was only a matter of time before Danielle’s weight went from being the elephant in the room to the guest of honor.  To her credit, D seems at peace with her body and self-assured.  It’s only when the crew gets invited to raid the legendary Elle fashion closet to choose outfits for a party hosted by Anne at Bungalow 8 that she starts freaking out.  

<p>And who can blame her?  She lives in a house with a bunch of size two and fours and she works in an office populated by people one bout of the flu away from their ideal weight.  Even the most confident person would fall under the pressure.  And for the record, crying and locking yourself in the bathroom is a sure sign of cracking up.  We’re just confused as to why Danielle didn’t take full advantage of the well-stocked closet.  If this journey has taught our little fashion plates anything, it’s that accessories can make or break an outfit.  D -- score some righteous shoes and uncover a dazzling piece of jewelry.  Nicole Kidman wore a basic black dress to last year’s Academy Awards, but that multi-layered diamond necklace taking up her entire upper torso made the ensemble red-carpet worthy.</p>

<p>In a scene straight outta “The Devil Wears Prada,” the contestants flank Anne at her soiree to identify all of the incoming guests.  Our remaining six prepared the night before for the challenge by studying the names and faces of everyone on the guest list.  Well, some studied.  Johanna made flash cards and quizzed herself until the wee hours, while her teammate Kate decided to stuff her face with popcorn and snuggle up in bed.  When the moment of truth came, Kate was too busy checking out her lip gloss in the ceiling mirror to notice guests even attended the function and all of Johanna’s preparation failed her, while Team Megan quickly picked up the slack.  It was a depressing sight.<br />

         <title>Gossip Girl Podcast: The Magnificent Archibalds</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn2.libsyn.com/cwsource/GG_-_The_Magnificent_Archibalds.mp3"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/thumbnails/photo/2008-06/40379912-25144846.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://cdn2.libsyn.com/cwsource/GG_-_The_Magnificent_Archibalds.mp3"><font size="3"><strong>Listen Now</strong></font></a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/gossip_girl/">Gossip Girl</a></strong> had its moments this episode, but some of the plots left us unimpressed. Have the characters really learned so little over the course of the last season and a half? Apparently not. </p>

<div align="center"><a href="http://cdn2.libsyn.com/cwsource/GG_-_The_Magnificent_Archibalds.mp3"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/photo/2008-11/43481035.jpg" alt="Nothing says Thanksgiving like your ex-lover and your newly eyeliner-free, formerly homeless daughter gathered arond the kitchen island and waiting for a feast."></a></div>
It's Turkey Day in Manhattan, but all is not well. Blair is furious that Eleanor is apparently going to sully the holiday by announcing her engagement to Cyrus, so she (and Dorota) take to the streets. Jenny has been camping out at the van der Woodsen/Bass residence (and if you have to be homeless, it's best to have a penthouse to crash in), and she's surprised when the adults come home a day early and discover her. Lily also discovers the emancipation papers Jenny is toting around, and she calls Rufus. Meanwhile, Nate is surprised to find his father back in town, saying he wants to whisk the family away to his Caribbean hideaway. But an FBI agent who finds him through Vanessa lets him know that the Captain is up to no good. What will Nate do? Plus, Eric finds the files full of surveillance that Bart has amassed on the whole family, Serena decides to lie to and/or for her man, and Vanessa hopes to rekindle things with Nate. When. And to think we spend most of Thanksgiving just digesting!

<p>Listen in as we express our horror at Serena's sartorial choices, and give our theories as to what the hell happened there. Plus, find out what put Mia to sleep, discover what caused Jackie to issue an alert, and learn how you, too, can date Nate Archibald!</p>

         <title>90210 Recap: That Which We Destroy</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://central.tribunestaging.com/common/medialib/image/70999.jpg" alt="Annie and Ethan from 90210 share a hug after the big lacrosse game"/></div>

<p>Last night's episode of <b><a target="_blank"href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/902010_spinoff/">90210</a></b> was filled with lessons about family and friendship which, as with anything 90210-related, are more complicated than usual.</p>

<p>When we left off last week, Annie and Naomi's brawl was interrupted by a surprise appearance from their half-brother, Sean.  The two girls stop arguing long enough to bring him into the house to introduce their new brother to Harry, who looks like a deer caught in headlights. </p>

<p>Annie and Ethan are taking their relationship to the next level and making out in the hallways. Ethan goes as far as saying, "We're so together we're like Siamese twins...except not related. And sexually attracted to each other." When Ozzie comes over to taunt Naomi, he sees the new couple making out and tries to offer comfort but Naomi basically tells him to get lost.</p>

<p>Harry has told Kelly about the events that took place at Annie's birthday party and wants Naomi and Annie to talk about their new brother. When the discussion turns to how Annie and Ethan went behind Naomi's back, Kelly tries to tell the girls not to let a guy come between them. She is, after all, an expert on the matter. "Girlfriends are like plants and guys are like cut flowers. They're pretty and smell nice...but they don't last," which is a moot point with these girls. They weren't friends for all that long to start with and let's face it, Naomi is a bitch.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Privileged: All About Overcompensating</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/photo/2008-11/43213622.jpg" alt="Megan and Will"></div>JoAnna Garcia as Megan – cute. JoAnna Garcia as Megan on a date with Will – super cute. Seriously, how can anyone still think that these two are not a great couple?  

<p>The latest episode of <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/filthy_rich_girls/">Privileged </a></strong>has Will and Megan trying to figure out where their relationship lies.  And, for a girl who seems to have her stuff together, we can’t figure out why she reacted the way she did when Will shares that he is, and has been, seeing other women since him and Lily broke up. </p>

<p>Is it us, or did she seem jealous? So not Megan.  And, what was with her trying to break it off before the relationship even got started.  “Not cut from the same cloth” -- please.  They are totally from the same cloth – opposite ends maybe – but, definitely the same cloth. Point being, they totally complement each other.</p>

<p>Will seemed to think so too. So much, he is willing to change his playboy lifestyle and be exclusive with her. Can he do it? Who knows? What we are more worried about is how this new relationship will last the six-month separation as Will heads to Brazil for his new job.</p>

<p>Welcome to the <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/one_tree_hill/">One Tree Hill</a></strong> podcast where we finally, completely and (we hope) amusingly lose our minds. We all stayed late, watched the episode together, and recorded this as soon as the show ended. We’ll be doing the next one from a locked psychiatric ward. </p>

Oh, and Lucas himself? He’s the owner of the hottest nightclub in North Carolina – Karen’s Café. 

<p>And we think it’s awesome. Hear why I’m suddenly Chad Michael Murray’s best friend, find out Jackie’s suggestions for future episodes, and discover why Mi is begging for someone to rescue her. </p>

<p>Lucas falls asleep after a quick check-in conversation with Peyton, and since he's watching Casablanca, he drifts off to a '40's-style version of Karen's Cafe, complete with Nathan the bartender, Haley the singer, Mouth the gossip columnist, Skills the piano player, Peyton the tragic heroine, and Brooke the damsel in distress.  And then there's Dan, who's the embodiment of evil, complete with a mustache!  </p>

<p>We find out that Haley used to work for Dan's bar down the street, but she's much happier working at Karen's (which Lucas now owns).  In the dressing room, Dan threatens Haley and tells her to come back and work for him... and then he kisses her while she's yelling at him!  She slaps him.  Of course, he enjoys it.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Gossip Girl: Thanksgiving with a Side of Drama</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://bc.images.trb.com/media/photo/2008-11/43447185.jpg" alt="Seriously, WHAT was Serena THINKING with that DRESS?"></div>For most of us, the height of Thanksgiving drama might be a battle for the remote post-feast or a squabble between cousins.  But on<strong> <a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/gossip_girl/">Gossip Girl</a></strong>, Thanksgiving means possible emancipation, extortion, mega-spying, and lying -- and that's all before the turkey.

<div align="center"><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/1117235.js"></script><noscript> <a href ="http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/1117235/" >Most heartwarming moment:</a>  <br/> <span style="font-size:9px;"> (<a href ="http://www.polldaddy.com">  polls</a>)</span></noscript></div>

<p>This episode had us raving (Chuck and Nate reunited!  Lily and Rufus reunited!) and ranting (Serena and Aaron ANYTHING, Vanessa's devious ways).  Everyone's dealing with their own holiday-induced angst: Nate's dad is back in town and wants to abruptly move the family to the Caribbean, which seems awfully suspicious.</p>

<p>Jenny's been crashing at the van der Woodsen/Bass residence, but Lily's found out and wants her to go back to Casa Humphrey.  Jenny's vague about her actual plans, but after she wanders off, Lily finds out exactly what they are when she comes across emancipation papers in Jenny's bag.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>Supernatural Convention: Jared and Jensen Together!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Probably the highlight of the <strong><a href="http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/supernatural/">Supernatural </a></strong>convention this weekend was seeing Jensen and Jared on stage together. As always, these boys just play off each other so beautifully, and the crowd was loving it. On to the highlights!</p>

<ul><li>Jensen wandered on stage just when Jared was trying to answer a question about Sam and Ruby. "Saved by the Dean!" Jared quipped. 
<li>Jared had made a great show about sticking the microphone up his nose and rubbing it under his armpits when he was alone on stage. When Jensen joined him, Jared tried to give him that mic. Jensen refused. "He knows!" Jared crowed. "I don't, I just trust me instincts," Jensen replied. They've been doing this for a while!
<li>A fan asked what they'd like their action figures to look like, and what sort of special features they'd want to have. "I'd want to be taller," Jensen said. "I'd want to be taller than he was tall," Jared replied. Plus, "I want to be able to ipecac," Jared said. "And I want arms to bend at the elbow so I cold still eat -- and I'd have some disgusting friend food in my hand," Jensen added. 
<li>Jared turned to Jensen and marveled that there were so many people. "All here to see me," Jensen quipped. "All here to see you introduce me," Jared shot back. "Yeah, but you went on first," Jensen rejoined. Point to Jensen!
<li>Fans kept identifying themselves as Dean Girls or Sam Girls, Jared Lovers of Jensen Lovers. The boys had a great time competing to say that the women in their camp were the funniest, the prettiest, the smartest and the most awesome. 
<li>A fan asked why one thing they'd ask their characters. Jared: "Why do you always drop your gun?" Jensen: "Why must you eat all the time?"
<li>Someone told Jared there had been a lot of speculation about a Gilmore Girls movie. "Oh, please!" Jensen squealed (in a manly fashion.)
<li>What sort of monster would they like to get written into the script? Jensen: "Nessie. Done." Jared: "Any sort of demon or ghost who haunts Hawaii." The boy s both agreed they'd love to take on a spectral surfer -- especially because they'd need to film on location!
<li>A fan asked the guys if they spoke any other languages, and if they could say "Happy birthday" to her in that language. Jared wished her "Feliz cumpelaños," while Jensen broke into Canadian -- "Happy birthday, eh?"
<li>A fan asked if they'll remain friends after the series ends. Both boys started shaking their heads. "No, I'm going to block his calls.”I'm not going to read his fan mail to me anymore. "I'm going to change the locks." "I'll take that as a yes," the fan said. Hee!
<li>Neither actor has any tattoos -- and there's a reason for that. Jensen talked about Jamie King, his co-star in My Bloody Valentine 3-D, having to spend two and a half extra hours in the make-up chair to cover up her nine tattoos. "I'd rather sleep." 
<li>Speaking of sleeping -- who takes the longest to get ready in the morning? Jensen started shaking his head and pointing at Jared. "I'm going to write a book and call it 'Waiting on Jared'," he said. Jared protested: "I have my dogs that I have to let out, it's my house that I have to lock up, I work out in the morning..." "And I'm waiting in the car," Jensen finished. So yes, Jensen said, in response to a fan suggestion: "Jared is the girl." </ul>

<p>That's it for the session reports. But stay tuned -- we've got exclusive interviews with all the guests, including Jared and Jensen! We'll have video of them, Gabriel Tigerman, Samantha Smith, Richard Speight Jr., Chad Lindberg and Charles Malik Whitfield over the upcoming weeks. Plus, look for a photo gallery, footage of fans, and lots more!</p>

<p>We want to say thanks to the <strong><a href="http://www.creationent.com/index.htm">Creation Entertainment</a></strong> folks, who helped us out and kept everything moving along -- they do a great job getting the actors fans love to hear from, and at keeping everyone happy. Without their help, we never would have been able to talk to all the stars and get you the exclusive scoop. Thanks!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Supernatural Convention: Jensen Takes the Stage</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>OK, folks, get ready for the Jensen report! You know how we gushed about Jared? It’s just the same for Jensen. What a sweetheart! Here are some highlights: </p>

<ul><li>A fan asked about Jensen’s least favorite episode, and some of the fans in the audience suggested Bugs (it wasn’t me, I swear!). Jensen says he can’t really hate any episode – there’s always something he appreciates about each one. However, he does admit to being less than pleased with In the Beginning. Not because it was a bad episode, but because he worked the whole week while Jared took the time off and went to Hawaii!
<li>Another fan who’d been waiting to ask a question of Jared, asked just what happened to Sam’s hair. “That’s awesome!” Jensen laughed. It’s the nature of the beast that episode hair gets weird. “I think he just wants to cut it off,” he said – which provoked howls from the fans.
<li>Jensen was amazed at the fan reaction to Eye of the Tiger – it was just a goof! He did oblige the fans by playing a little air guitar on his leg. Then he grimaced – “I think I pulled a hammy!”
<li>He said all the bits we see on the gag reel are spontaneous – and that he modeled his cat-in-the-locker scream after a gag-reel scream Jared did on Jus in Bello. 
<li>He thinks he would have gotten along with Dean in high school – but that he would have been the one who pulled Dean out of scrapes and got him out of trouble. And yes, he did know some guys in high school that he taps into for Deanisms.
<li>The Disco Room from Provenance is the one that made the most impression on him. And all those rooms with the Magic Fingers? They were great, but they involved “some big, sweaty grip” lying under the bed and shaking it!
<li>Will season five be the end of the show? Jensen said actually, Kripke had envisioned season four being the end. Then the ratings went through the roof this season, and “[Kripke] was like, ‘Aw, crap. I don’t know, I guess I’m going to have to write about robots or something.’”
<li>A network exec was highly disturbed about the suicidal teddy bear scene, and wanted it cut. Jensen’s reaction – “Have you WATCHED the show? We have people’s eyes bleeding and guts ripped out, and you’re worried about teddy bear stuffing on the wall?”
<li> A fan from Beijing taught Jensen to say “I love you” in Mandarin. He put it to use through the rest of the session.
<li>What would he do if he weren’t an actor? He’s thought fisherman (“Maybe not The Deadliest Catch-type fisherman…”), a pro athlete (“although I’m not really pro-sports material”) or… “Stripper!” some fans shouted. “Or a male stripper was my third choice. There’s a career somewhere in there.”
<li>Favorite flavor of cake? “Chocolate on chocolate. With chocolate in it, and then chocolate sprinkles on top. With a big dish of chocolate on the side.” The fan asking the question thanked him and walked off. “Dark chocolate!” he called after her. SOMEone’s angling for a cake… 
<li>His favorite weapon is a Colt. All the guns are loaded with blanks – which can still be dangerous. That doesn’t stop Jensen and Jared from occasionally shooting each other in the back at random intervals, which Jensen acted out. “That’s what Texas guys do when they’re bored…”</ul>

         <title>Supernatural Convention: Jared Speaks!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>All right, folks, we’re here with part one of the main event. Jared was funny, gracious, adorable, snarky and everything else you’d expect. He seemed shocked by the size of the crowd – and by how much fun he was having! Here are some highlights: </p>

<ul><li>One of the first fans started off by saying she had a question, then said she know there had been a lot of stories about his dog. “That’s not a question, that’s a statement! I told you, my mom’s an English teacher…”
<li>He did share one dog story – the guys and some friends were watching a football game that went late, and Jared got a picture of Jensen snoring away with his dogs shoving their noses into his face – “their big dog lips pressed against him. 
My three dogs!” he said, then specified – “That’s D-A-W-Gs, ok? Don’t tell Jensen!”
<li>Jared rejected flight as a superpower – “We can already do that in planes!” Instead, he’d be Aquaman – “without the orange scales and green tights.”
<li>He jumped off stage to hug someone, then stumbled getting back on stage. “Isn’t it obvious I have a stunt double – I’m winded and injured.” 
<li>Someone asked about what it was like working with the Olsen Twins. He initially tried to deny it, but then said they were some of the most businesslike people he’d ever met. Thanks for coming, the fan said. “Yeah, and thanks for bringing THAT up,” he replied. 
<li>Jared got asked about his “hand of ipecac” (the ability to make possessed people spew up demons, after a syrup that induces vomiting). He was incredulous. The next fan started her question “Now that we know Sam is a necrophiliac…” “A feisty crowd shows up here in Chicago!” he said, somewhat incredulous. 
<li>Someone asked if Sam really had a thing for the bearded lady back in Everyone Loves a Clown. “No, that was Jensen, in real life. Sam just likes dead chicks.”
<li>Not laughing can be a real problem during shooting, especially in episodes like Yellow Fever. As funny as Dean’s cat scream was, he said, there were other shots where he did it better – “but they couldn’t use it because I’m just losing it.”
<li>A fan asked if he cringed when he saw Sera Gamble’s name on a script. “Yes,” he replied, “because it usually means I’m getting naked, crying, or getting naked AND crying.”
<li>He was inspired to get into acting when a girl he had a crush on in school was all about Jonathan Taylor Thomas on Home Improvement. :I had a vendetta against him,” he said. Then he showed up at an audition where JTT was also reading, and celebrated that he was taller. Come on, Jared – you’re taller than EVERYONE!
<li>What’s one of the things on his life list – things he wants to do before he dies? “Turn 100,” he deadpanned.
<li>He’s really glad Sam isn’t getting strangled as much on the show this season, if only because gasping for air and wheezing when he’s recording additional dialog makes him light-headed. ]]></description>
