The CW Orders 'The Originals,' Renews 'Hart of Dixie,' 'Beauty and the Beast'
April 26, 2013 4:55pm ESTGet ready for more drama on The CW this fall: The network today renewed its veteran shows Hart of Dixie and Beauty and the Beast and picked up a full season of The Originals, its spinoff of The Vampire Diaries. The shows join the already-renewed Supernatural, Arrow, and Vampire Diaries on the network's 2013-2014 schedule. "As soon as we saw last night’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, we knew we wanted more of The Originals — Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson have done a fantastic job with The Vampire Diaries, which is as fast-paced and well-written as ever, and Julie has created an equally compelling world for The Originals," The CW president Mark Pedowitz said in a statement. "We’re also very excited to bring back Beauty and the Beast and Hart of Dixie for next season — both series continue to be creatively strong and compelling, and their fans are incredibly passionate. I’m very happy to have all three series on the schedule for next season." The Originals follows three fan favorite Vampire Diaries characters, the three original vampire siblings, as they return to New Orleans, the city they helped found. The spin-off episode earned 2.2 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, down 31 percent from TVD's average but still a solid performance for The CW. Hart of Dixie is one of The CW's best-performing shows online, while Beauty and the Beast won a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Drama. There's still no word on the fate of The Carrie Diaries, the network's critically beloved Sex and the City prequel, or Friday night spy action drama Nikita. The network will present its full 2013-2014 schedule to advertisers at its upfront presentation in New York in May.

Stars turn out for Seth Rogen's Alzheimer's fundraiser
April 26, 2013 8:05am ESTSamuel L. Jackson and the Backstreet Boys were among the stars who came together in Los Angeles on Thursday (25Apr13) to help Seth Rogen raise more than $400,000 (£250,000) for an Alzheimer's disease charity. The Knocked Up actor and his wife Lauren Miller oversaw the second annual Hilarity for Charity bash, which they set up to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association in honour of Miller's mother, who was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 55. Comedian Kevin Hart took to the stage for a stand-up set, during which he joked about his recent DUI arrest, but the evening took a sombre turn when Samuel L. Jackson opened up about his own mother's battle with Alzheimer's prior to her death last year (12). He told the audience, "I have the potential to be one of the people you're raising money for. It's a pretty devastating disease... but (those who have it) can also be very funny. I enjoyed her life and I'm glad I had her. You're all here and you're all going to be able to do something for a lot of people." The Backstreet Boys provided the musical entertainment, performing a number of their hits, and Rogen revealed his director pal Judd Apatow had promised to match up to $15,000 (£9,375) in donations from the evening. An email sent from Apatow to Rogen read, "If you don't donate, I will keep my money and spend it on private jets and Botox for my children. (Daughter) Maude has a wrinkle between her eyes I would like to smooth out, and Iris has some crow's feet that look terrible on 10 year olds." Rogen joked, "He's had a lot to drink, so I just hope this is legally binding."

Editors at TMZ.com report the Los Angeles City Attorney has now charged Hart with two misdemeanour counts of DUI. Hart took to his Twitter.com page after he was released on bail to express his regret over the arrest, stating, "Drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter. People have lost lives because of stupid s**t this (sic)! This is a wake up call for me, I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't... everything happens for a reason."

Kevin Hart Arrested for DUI, Completes 13,000 Sit-Ups in Prison
April 15, 2013 11:43am ESTComedian Kevin Hart was arrested early on the morning of Sunday April 14 for a misdemeanor DUI near Los Angeles. He was pulled over and arrested at 4:51 a.m. after being recorded driving his black Mercedes faster than 90 mph. California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Jacobs says that Hart "was speeding and driving erratically" and almost hit a gas tanker. Jacobs also confirms that Hart had a female passenger who was sent home in a taxi following his arrest. Hart failed a sobriety test, but was apparently very upfront about the fact that he was intoxicated. After the incident he tweeted, "when the cop asked me to take the sobriety test I said 'WHY WASTE OUR TIME...I'M DRUNK MAN'....#TrueStory." Despite reports to the contrary, Hart was not released on bond. Jacobs says, "[Hart] was transported and placed in jail," in L.A. However, when people are arrested for DUI in California they are held and released after about six hours or when they are no longer under the influence. "They don't have to bail out on a DUI. They let you go," Jacobs says. Hart was given an initial fine of $5,000, though. He didn't have to pay that to be released from jail, and can pay it at a later date when he makes a court appearance. Hart got reflective and serious on Twitter when mentioning the incident. "Drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter," he tweeted. "People have lost lives because of stupid s***. This is a wake-up call for me. I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't. Everything happens for a reason." On a lighter note, Hart also said that he completed 6,000 push-ups and 13,000 sit-ups while "in the pin," and he gave a shout-out to his "celly" Mark. "We exchanged war stories LMFAO."

'Saturday Night Live' Recap: Justin Timberlake Joins the Five-Timers Club
March 10, 2013 10:49am ESTCraving a fun, crazy, wild, sexual ride? That's exactly what Justin Timberlake delivered as he hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time Saturday. Facing high expectations going into the evening, Timberlake more than lived up to the hype during his duties. Not only did the multi-hyphenate revive old characters, like his "D**k in a Box" lady-killer and OmeletteVille shiller, Timberlake also headlined some entertaining new sketches. He posed as temporarily chaste Emperor Caligula, starred in a fictional romantic comedy trailer, made an appearance in a Moet & Chandon commercial, and performed two of his hit new songs. But, there was more. SNL also inducted Timberlake into the "Five-Timers Club" and upon entering, he greeted by some more than A-List celebrity names like Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, and more. Oh yeah, and Jay-Z even made an appearance during one of Timberlake's performances. If SNL was trying to make us forget the series' past subpar three months, it certainly succeeded. Read below to see what happened during Saturday night's star-studded episode. RELATED: Justin Timberlake Returns to SNL Hugo Chavez Memorial Performance Becoming one of the rare hosts to appear in SNL's cold open, Timberlake posed as Elton John, sitting down at the piano to play and sing a tribute to deceased Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez. Poking fun at both John’s Princess Diana’s tribute, "Candle in the Wind," and the late leader, Timberlake sang about Chavez’s pistol-wielding press conferences and bizarre view that Capitalism killed Mars. Justin Joins the Five-Timers Club A dapper Timberlake began the star-studded festivities during his monologue, which officially inducted the five-time host into SNL's famous "Five-Timers Club." An update of Tom Hanks' famous 1990 monologue, Timberlake's opening brought back five-time hosts Paul Simon, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Alec Baldwin, Candice Bergen, and Hanks himself. (Members Drew Barrymore and John Goodman weren’t on-hand, but their portraits hung on the wall.) As if those big names wasn't enough, original cast member Dan Aykroyd was there to serve Timberlake a special Gilly-inspired drink called the “Kristen Wiig” (god bless her SNL departed soul), and Martin Short, the third amigo, served hors d’oeuvres covered in the germs from his sneezes. If you were hoping for a Three Amigos reunion, you were rewarded later in the episode when Short, Martin, and Chase (in his first post-Community TV appearance) dressed as Ned Nederlander, Lucky Day, and Dusty Bottoms later in the show to introduce Timberlake's second performance. It’s A Date "D**k in a Box" twosome Timberlake and Andy Samberg made their return as a double dating pair posing as contestants in a Dating Game-esque program. But they had some lofty and legendary competition — they were stacked up against Bobby Moynihan as a sweet contestant looking for love and Aykroyd and Martin's Festrunk Brothers, the two wild and crazy guys made famous during SNL's 1970s glory days. Turns out Timberlake and Samberg's duo and the Festrunk Brothers were the real match mad in heaven during the hilarious sketch — not only was it a treat for hardcore SNL fans to see Aykroyd and Martin revive their 30-year-old characters, but the "D**k in a Box" two some invited uproarious laughter with their dream dates, which included “[railing] on your butt," and their insistence that women can't get pregnant in the summertime. (Bonus points for the DuckTales shout-out.) RELATED: Justin Timberlake's Awesome SNL Promo VeganVille Vs. Sausage Depot OmletteVille reinvented! Timberlake tried to create a “meat-free zone” by musically intimidating Moynihan's Sausage Depot mascot to give up his post, much like he did in the singer's now-famous 2003 OmletteVille sketch. In this bit, Timbelake whipped up some of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” with “brown rice baby” as the kicker, and even sang tofu-inspired versions of hits from Rihanna and more. Timberlake ended the sketch with Baauer’s “Harlem Shake.” WHY, TIMBERLAKE WHY? I love you, but don't you know we've been trying to shake off the shake? Birth Control NuvaBling Commercial This sketch advertises a scary imaginary product: a bedazzled NuvaRing. For those who think vajazzling just isn't enough, the birth control product shines from within you... and hurts. Honestly, I could have done without this piece — I certainly didn't need nightmares about “shining up that 'gine" to accompany me to bed. Timberlake Performs "Suit & Tie" If Veganville didn’t give you enough of Timberlake’s infamous dancing skills, he certainly delivered performing his new single, “Suit & Tie.” There’s no denying that this man has his groove back after his musical hiatus, which gives us extra reason to continue to be endlessly jealous of the singer's new wife, Jessica Biel. As if his dance skills weren’t enough, Jay-Z also joined Timberlake on stage to finish up the performance. And when it was over, I was left craving for Timberlake to “show [me] a few [more] things.” Weekend Update Seth Meyers started off the “Weekend Update” with another Chavez funeral joke and a rib about the North Korea-bound Dennis Rodman crashing the papal conclave. Meyers also joked about Playboy's Hebrew version of the magazine (look at the women's breasts from right to left) and Saturday's switch to Daylight Savings Time: “The clock on your oven will be wrong for six months.” Actually, the clock on my wall will finally be right again for the next six months. And proving that SNL continued to pull out all the stops, Stefon (Bill Hader) appeared on Weekend Update to share his patented party advice, and, as an added bonus, offered an impression of Donald Duck having a Vietnam nightmare. (We couldn't have dreamed up anything better.) But the bit left us wondering one thing: Why didn't anyone tell us Jamba Juice was bad for you? RELATED: SNL Recap: The Time We Fell In Like with Kevin Hart The Tales of Sober Caligula Emperor Caligula (played by Timberlake) decided to clean up and stop abusing alcohol and partaking in orgies. What caused the infamous Roman Emperor to give up his dirty ways? He “woke up with [his] penis in the mouth of a dead lion” one day. (You don't want to know where the lion's penis was.) So, instead of the usual orgies, Caligula ruled that his court would participate in game night instead. Screw sober Caligula — doesn’t a Timberlake sexcapade sound much more thrilling? At least the pig got lucky. Maine Justice or Southern Lies? Timberlake's hair as a Maine-based baliff was the first sign of bad things to come in this mock court TV show. Indistinguishable dialogue, a blowup alligator, and a confusing premise (a town in Maine thinks its New Orleans?) couldn’t save the sketch, despite Timberlake's valiant efforts. Timberlake Performs “Mirrors” The Three Amigos — Short, Martin, and Chase — dressed up as a mariachi band as a nod to their 1986 movie and introduced Timberlake for his second performance. There is nothing else that can be said about this other than it was flawless. She’s Got A D!%k Airing near the end of the night, Timberlake’s mock movie trailer centered on “an adorable brunette,” who Timberlake finds out actually has a d**k. But despite his confused black friend’s advice, the heart wants what it wants, and the romantic comedy had the potential to be even better than Friends With Benefits. Moet & Chandon Ricky V.I.Penis (Timberlake’s final character of the night) closed the show with an advertisement for Moet and Chandon starring porn stars. Imagining Timberlake as a porn star needing more room in his pants? Now, that's a real reason to celebrate! Follow Lindsey on Twitter @LDiMat.
