Statement from Nigel Lythgoe on “American Idol” firing

June 10, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

After tweeting on Saturday that he had been “fired” from his role as executive producer of American Idol [but reassuring fans that “FOX still loves me,” and that he will still be with So You Can Think You Can Dance], Nigel Lythgoe released this official statement on the situation through his publicist today: “It has been a tremendous honor to launch and build American Idol over the course of a decade and to see it recognized with 51 nominations and 6 EMMY Awards including the Academy’s highest honor, the Governors Award. To be a part of the spin-off program, “IDOL […]

On Demand DVD New Releases June 10-16

June 10, 2013 Meredith Ennis

On Demand DVD New Releases June 10-16. Updated fairy tales (Oz the Great and Powerful, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) might make for an interesting double feature, though the latter is not rated for children, to be certain. And while no other title can boast quite the cast that Movie 43 does, some of this week’s other premieres do offer some familiar faces, including: Claire Danes and James Mardsen (As Cool as I Am); Cuba Gooding Jr. (Absolute Deception); Claire Bowen (Dead Man’s Burden); Benjamin Bratt, Dwayne Johnson and Susan Sarandon, (Snitch) and Bruce Dern and Val Kilmer (Twixt). As […]

June 7, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Tony Awards 2013 Sunday, June 9 CBS, 8pm ET As has been the case in years past, there is a definite Hollywood feeling to the Tony Awards 2013, which honors the year’s best in theater. There’s A-list talent on display (Tom Hanks for Lucky Guy), as well as several other actors recognizable to movie and TV audiences, and it’s telling when three of the four Best Musical nominees saw fit to add “The Musical” to their title, in order to distinguish them from the films that came before them. (And the only other nominee could just as easily have done […]

Beyond narrowing its focus to a specific region, Mountain […]

I’m Having Their Baby season 2 premieres June 12 on Oxygen

June 7, 2013 Lori Acken

I’m Having Their Baby Season 2 premieres Wednesday, June 12 at 10pm ET/PT on Oxygen. To many of us, adoption is a process that seems pretty cut-and-dried: expectant mother whose pregnancy is unplanned and unwelcomed gives her baby a better life via overjoyed, indulgent parents who long for a child they cannot or choose not to have on their own. A happy ending for all. Oxygen’s emotional docuseries I’m Having Their Baby — which debuts its second season June 12 — lays bare that, while that outcome is often the case, the path to it is rarely so simple. For […]

Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn star as best-selling author David Baldacci’s popular characters Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, former Secret Service agents who use their unique skills — not to mention their razor-sharp chemistry — to give them a leg up on conventional law enforcement. By Jay Bobbin Clearly, TNT loves Jon Tenney. And the feeling is mutual, since the actor has worked for the cable network for the better part of the past decade.
