Réalité: Champs crowned on ‘Runway’ and ‘ANTM,’ righteous ousters on ‘Top Chef’ and ‘SYTYCD,’ and bonus Kris Allen!

The 2009 reality TV season is zooming toward its inevitable end — the sounds of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” at the local pharmacy tell me it is so — but that just means it’s the most wonderful time of the year for Réalité*. Righteous winners were crowned on America’s Next Top Model and Project

‘New Moon’ wolfpack leader Chaske Spencer on cougars and fainters

Kerrie Mitchell — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:30:01 +0000

Chaske Spencer, the actor who plays wolfpack leader Sam Uley, talked to EW about getting cast, meeting randy Twilight fans, and playing the leader of the pack. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did all this start for you, and when is it done? CHASKE SPENCER: It started for me March 5 when I got cast in New Moon, and

‘Old Dogs’ advertising makes me shrug in a clichéd way

Kate Ward — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:02:08 +0000

Yes, this poster is in a different language. But that’s not the only reason it’s so confusing. If you, like me, live in New York City, and have walked at least a block, chances are you’ve seen this poster for Old Dogs — in English, of course — which opens Nov. 25. (For whatever reason,

‘Survivor Talk’: Laura on being betrayed by colored rock-fearing John

Dalton Ross — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:28:25 +0000

Laura Morett came to Survivor: Samoa to kick, scratch, and claw her way to a million dollars, but, unfortunately for her, she picked two fights with the two wrong people: Russell and Shambo. And it came back to bite her. Now, the 39-year-old fitness instructor joins Survivor: Tocantins runner-up Stephen Fishbach and me on the

What TV or movie death scenes have left you disappointed?

Kate Ward — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:30:08 +0000

I love a good death scene. Ronald Lacey’s Arnold Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Samuel L. Jackson’s Russell Franklin in Deep Blue Sea. Sean Bean’s Boromir in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. (“My brother…my captain…my king.” Cue: me, sobbing.) So imagine my disappointment upon seeing 2012. (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.) I

‘Medium’ recap: A shade shady

Michael Slezak — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:33:50 +0000

After a somewhat ho-hum start to its sixth season — and a move to a new night and network (Fridays on CBS) — Medium has gotten back on stride, and last night’s “The Future’s So Bright” found the procedurals-are-better-with-psychics drama back at its creepy, inventive best. The episode followed Patricia Arquette’s Allison after she borrowed

This Week on Stage: ‘Ragtime,’ ‘Equivocation’ in L.A., and vibrators!

Thom Geier — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:00:50 +0000

It was a busy week on the boards. Sunday saw the opening of a Broadway revival of the musical Ragtime (pictured right), which EW’s Melissa Rose Bernardo calls “dazzling” and gives an A. Also on Broadway, Sarah Ruhl’s provocatively titled comic play In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play opened to a decidedly lukewarm

‘Project Runway Talk’: Irina explains herself

Missy Schwartz — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:41:24 +0000

Who is Irina Shabayeva? The back-stabbing mean girl that this season made her out to be? Or victim of a “bitch edit”? Why was she always ragging on her colleagues? Did she have any doubts that she’d beat Althea and Carol Hannah to the Bryant Park finish line? Dalton and I covered these burning questions

‘Project Runway Talk’: Althea talks Sweatergate, embarrassment over losing her temper with Logan and more!

Missy Schwartz — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:46:21 +0000

Holy smokes is Althea tall. She’s 5′11″ to be exact, but when she came to the EW offices this morning, she looked more like 7′11″ thanks to the fierce-ass stilettos she was sporting. Of course, I’m barely 5′6″ in my highest heels, so even Tom Cruise looks like a skyscraper to me. Anyway, what was

‘Project Runway Talk’ with Carol Hannah: ‘I don’t think I’ve been that depressed in a really long time’

Missy Schwartz — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:29:42 +0000

She didn’t trash talk. She accused no one of cheating. She never indulged in gratuitous self-aggrandizing. In fact, unless you consider crushing out on the hot guy or barfing on camera as high-stakes drama (okay, well the last thing kinda is), it’s fair to say that Carol Hannah sailed through her season remarkably crisis-free. The
