Natalie Portman

As Natalie Portman gracefully and tearfully accepted her first Academy Award for Best Actress last night, her win celebrated not only her haunting performance and undeniable success as Nina in Black Swan, but also her amazing attitude.  And so I’d like to present Natalie Portman with my own post-Oscars honor: The Chillest Chick to Ever Win an Oscar award.  And this chick definitely deserves it.

As hype mounted for Black Swan, Ms. Portman was suddenly all over the place: talk shows, magazine covers, events of all kinds.  And at every occasion, Natalie displayed her unwavering chillitude.  One of my favorite bits from all the Oscar pre-gaming was Natalie’s super-chill take on Black Swan‘s memorable girl-on-girl sex scene. more…

Online announced the leak of Ms. Spears’ new song.

The good news is the release of this single seems to be more than just a tease, unlike her debut of  2009′s “3.” more…

A scene from Thursday night's live episode of '30 Rock.'

The critically-acclaimed yet not highly-rated 30 Rock finally got a much-needed boost in ratings last night with their live episode. The NBC comedy saw a 43% increase over last week in adults aged 18-49, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Steve Carell as Michael Scott on 'The Office.'

It’s been a sad year for fans of The Office. With more drama than lighthearted comedy, this season has undoubtedly been the worst of the series. Even more tragic is the confirmation of Steve Carell’s departure from the show when the upcoming seventh season ends.

Carell told Entertainment Weekly he will be leaving the hit NBC comedy after season 7 at the premiere of his new animated movie Despicable Me this past weekend. “I think it’s a good time to move on,” Carell said. “I just want to spend more time with my family.”

This news is not really surprising. At the end of a BBC Radio interview promoting his new film Date Night with co-star Tina Fey, Carell said he would more…
