We’re feeling sociable tonight—after a week spent indulging our cinematic urges, it’s time to leave the theater and blink our way through the glint of sequined gowns. We’ll start at the God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards Celebration, where Michael Kors and Glee creator Ryan Murphy are to pick up awards for their philanthropy. Read More
Last season, television’s most anodyne evening got a shot of hipness in the form of Sex and the City executive producer Michael Patrick King’s new series, 2 Broke Girls. The CBS comedy about young ladies in Brooklyn was an instant hit, kicking off a season-long discussion about girl-women on TV (viz. Girls, New Girl) and Read More
FX, a network whose luck has lately been a bit mixed, has ordered 13 episodes for its next drama series, entitled American Horror Story. The series, by Glee producers Ryan Murphy (who previously worked with FX on the series Nip/Tuck) and Brad Falchuk, is about a family running from their past by moving to Los Read More

No, not that Republican congressman Joe Wilson heckled the president of the United States during his address to the joint session on Congress—seriously? “You lie?” This isn’t a town hall meeting in South Carolina, buddy!—but that we really found ourselves falling Read More
Just how confident is Fox in its new hour-long musical comedy Glee (premiering tonight at 9), from Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy? Not only have they moved the premiere episode of the fall series up to spring, they’re airing it immediately following tonight’s final performance edition of American Idol.
