'American Horror Story' will compete in Emmys miniseries category
13 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
FX’s freshman drama American Horror Story is stealing a page from the Downton Abbey playbook by submitting itself in the miniseries category for this year’s Emmy race.
The network announced Friday that while the horror drama from Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchuk can compete in the drama category, it will vie for the gold in the category that is typically populated by miniseries from the likes of HBO. Because Ahs is an anthology — meaning, it was designed to change casts and stories every season — it qualifies as a miniseries in the eyes of the TV Academy.

'Hunger Games' Sets Non-Sequel Midnight Record
22 hours ago | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
The Hunger Games opened to an estimated $19.74 million at midnight, which ranks seventh all-time behind the last three Harry Potter and Twilight movies. It did score the top midnight debut ever for a non-sequel, and it earned more than twice as much as the first Twilight movie ($7 million). If one is to use the opening pattern of Breaking Dawn Part 1 and New Moon (which also opened outside of the Summer), The Hunger Games would be poised for a three-day take between $90 and $110 million. Since those were sequels, though, it's probably fair to assume The Hunger Games will at least hold up a little bit better over the next few days. There's also a very distant chance that its pattern winds up closer to that of The Dark Knight, which would mean a weekend gross of around $160 million; it's been nearly four years since that movie came out, though and midnight »

Lifetime Yanks Dance Moms Episode After Uproar Over Tween Showgirls Routine
21 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Is Dance Moms sexualizing youngsters for your viewing pleasure? Hoping to stem a growing storm of criticism, Lifetime has axed a highly provocative episode of its reality series that aired on March 6 after outraged parents and critics objected to a segment featuring tiny tween dancers dressed as Las Vegas showgirls and performing a racy routine. And you thought Toddlers & Tiaras was bad. A rep for the network confirmed the shocking episode has been wiped from the schedule but declined further comment. The Dance Moms brouhaha started after dance instructor Abby Lee Miller choreographed a performance in which the girls, whose ages range from 6 to 13, sported burlesque outfits that »

Hunger Games vs. Harry Potter: Lionsgate Sends Lawyer Letter to Charity "Hunger Is Not a Game"
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
And this has nothing to do with the box office. Lionsgate's senior vice president for business affairs and litigation Liat Cohen has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Harry Potter Alliance's Imagine Better Project over its charitable campaign "Hunger Is Not a Game," saying the group is "piggybacking off of" The Hunger Games marketing and stating they were bothered by the "distortion" of the film's title. That makes sense. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cohen's letter states "This is causing damage to Lionsgate and our marketing efforts," writes Cohen in the cease-and-desist letter. The letter later adds, "We have the ability to take down »

Sure, everybody knows Carrie Bradshaw - Sarah Jessica Parker in the HBO phenom that kept Sunday nights ablaze from 1998 till 2004, then again in a movie that was hot and a sequel that was not. Now headed for the small screen is The Carrie Diaries, based on the 2010 prequel by Sex author Candace Bushnell. The pilot for the CW network will star AnnaSophia Robb, shown here for the first time in costume (designed by Sex and the City and Gossip Girl's Emmy-winning Eric Daman) as the young Carrie.

Trayvon Martin's Parents Recall His Last Night
3 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
In his quiet moments, Tracy Martin keeps replaying the night of Feb. 26, when his son Trayvon Martin died, allegedly at the hands of neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. "I had gone out for dinner," says Tracy, "and when I got home, Trayvon wasn't there. I tried calling his cell phone several times, and it went straight to voicemail. I wasn't that worried, because he had been spending time with my 20-year-old nephew who was a responsible young man. There wasn't a panic that he wasn't at home. I figured that they had gone to the movies, because they had said they might. »

HitFix Interview: Colton Cumbie talks 'Survivor: One World'
10 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
It would be easy to call Colton Cumbie the most polarizing castaway of the "Survivor: One World" season, but that would imply that there are multiple poles of opinion. "Survivor" fans love Villains, whether they've been miscategorized like Boston Rob was in the "Heroes vs. Villains" season, or even if their actions have seemingly been beyond the pale. Jonny Fairplay. Russell Hantz. Even "Thailand" winner and puppy shooter Brian Heidik probably has defenders. At least for now, Colton has very few people in his corner. That's what comes from calling an African-American contestant "ghetto," from dubbing a little person »

Will 'The Hunger Games' top the Billboard 200 as well as the box office?
11 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
The revolving door at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 looks likely to continue next week as “The Hunger Games” soundtrack will be the fourth title to top the chart in as many weeks. As of Friday, the soundtrack to the box office winner had a commanding lead over Adele’s “21,” which has hung out at No. 2 since being pushed out the top spot by Bruce Springsteen’s “Wrecking Ball” a few weeks ago, according to Hits Daily Double. “The Hunger Games” is on track to sell up to 200,000 copies by Sunday’s chart close. “21” will likely see up to »
‘The Deep Blue Sea’ Review: Passion and Torment in a Cold-Water Flat
12 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
World War II and the years immediately afterward were apparently the golden age of British infidelity, or at least for movies and books about them. In classics like “Brief Encounter” and “The End of the Affair,” repressed Brits met furtively to grasp fleeting moments of passion, usually in grim little rented rooms that probably smelled like cabbage. Add “The Deep Blue Sea” to that list, as it sweeps us up into the amour fou of Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz), who walks away from her comfortable but stifling marriage to Sir William »

Recap: 'Fringe' - 'A Short Story About Love'
12 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Well, now we've got two of our real characters back. So that’s a start. I’m accentuating the positive because I know if you’re still around, you still like “Fringe” and have little interest in reading anything negative. I don’t see a way in which this wasn’t the start of the show’s final stretch, but I really and truly hope there’s a fifth season of this show. Why? Well, for starters, it beats the hell out of another Gordon Ramsey-hosted cooking show populating the airwaves. Second? It might give the show a chance to go out on something besides a 22-episode »

Yes, we're aware that it's National Puppy Day, but since we didn't get the day off yet again this year we're choosing to celebrate this plucky, if perhaps indulgent, feline who's captured our hearts with his thorough -- some would say foolhardy -- confidence in his ability to fly. Yes, he could stand to shed a few pounds, but that doesn't stop him from valiantly attempting to leap from his balcony to the building next door. Does he make it? Of course not. In fact, his quixotic effort to defy gravity despite »

Emmy shockeroo: 'American Horror Story' switches categories
13 hours ago | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
"American Horror Story" has spooked the Emmy derby by leaping from the drama series races – where it competed at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards – to miniseries. The TV academy has decreed that it qualifies for both classifications, so FX network was given the option to put it in either race. Arguably, "American Horror Story" really belongs in the mini slots since its story arc had a beginning, middle and a finite end in season one. It just so happens that it has a better shot at winning there, too, since it won't have to best "Mad Men," which has never lost Best Drama Series in its four-year run. Competition in that category will be especially fierce since last year's winner of Best Miniseries – "Downton Abbey" – is moving over to Best Drama Series where it will also compete against recent Golden Globe champ "Homeland." This category switcheroo by "American Horror Stor. »
