With the release of the appropriately monstro-schlocky Shrek Forever After on IMAX, movie tickets (in Manhattan, at least) are passing the "symbolically important" $20 price point. Yea, you know what else is symbolically important? Netflix. [WSJ]

As the bigtime Lost finale approaches (Sunday, 9pm), folks are getting concerned that the show won't end satisfyingly. Well, concerned might be too gentle. Some people are preemptively angry. We're wondering today: Do they have a right to be?

The CW was the last to present its fall schedule at the upfronts, the week when TV networks show advertisers what's in store. So what's in store for The CW? Two new shows, but five nights a week of programming.

Some say she was, others say she did herself in. What's the truth? Also today: James Franco heads to a comedy, a popular teen book from yesteryear becomes a movie, a new Daily Show?, and Ashton Kutcher.

And then there were two! And soon there will be none and we'll be done. Yes, two more episodes of this withered Idol season to go and, remarkably, we've ended up pretty much exactly where we were supposed to.

That's one part of her hard-knock story she always leaves out. This star is moving to get miles away from her famous mother, this starlet is serving coke in salt shakers, and the return of a skanky director's wife!

It just might happen. Also today: a Three Musketeers movie rounds out its cast, good news for Conchords fans, amazing news for Twilight fans, and gut-busting brain-imploding news for Justin Bieber fans.

We were too busy looking for a cute new umbrella on the internet to bother with The City. Luckily fictional freelancer Betsey Morgenstern was there to fill us in on a very important fashion summit.

And so last night we trudged on again, this time with only three oxen to pull Mother Courage-Seacrest's war wagon through the mud. Was it a successful journey? Yes and no.

The band of lovable losers in the McKinley High glee club sure has lots of aspirations and they were all called into question. But how do they get their dreams back on track? With song! Duh.

Also going gay is a rock star who's been diddling a boy band member. This actress is looking for a contractually-obligated boyfriend and this actor is stepping out on his wife all over town. Remember, cheaters never win.

Last night's penultimate episode brought closure to some mysteries — Tina Fey doesn't, in fact, mean much to the story — but, of course, teased out new ones too. Specifically, what's Desmond up to?

Lovable Hurt Locker producer Nicholas Chartier, whose trash-talk email about Avatar got him banned from the Oscars, called a recent correspondent a "moron" and a "thief" in another imprudent missive. If only there was a way to not press "send."

Here's a trailer for Charlie St. Cloud, a Zac Efron weeper about a sexy sailor boi with a dead little brother and a major case of sexy sailor girl boner. It's not Nicholas Sparks, but it might as well be!

...In a movie! Ha ha, what'd you think we meant? Also today: Two CW shows get rather perplexing reorders, Stephen Baldwin's about to get serious, and Eliza Doolittle is alive and well and living at Sony.

Last night's journey into the suburban heart of darkness taught us all about how beauty can turn, very quickly, into ugliness, how expectation curdles into disappointment. But mostly it was about fashion. Wonderful, wonderful fashion.

The cliffhangers on last night's season finale of Gossip Girl were almost enough to get you to tune in next year, weren't they? But before we get to resolution in the future, let's find some closure with the past.

The diva imports very expensive toilet paper. This celeb shelled out cash to fertility doctors to knock her up and will go public soon. This actress is being paid to keep her former boyfriend closeted. Money can't buy you class.

Ohhh hey ladies! The internet has tracked down nine clips from the upcoming Sex and the City 2: Chamber of Secretions. And they are juicy! (Secretions juicy!) Someone's getting married, fabulously.
