This recap of The Voice’s Top 10 results show practically wrote itself — before the episode had even begun. After Monday’s performances, I was so sure that Mark Isaiah and Lilli Passero were toast that I was already thinking of how to analyze their downfalls. (For him, youthful inexperience from which not even his poreless teen-idol complexion could distract forever; for her, inconsistent performances and a few song selections that smacked of sabotage.) But was I right to count them out?

Continuing the celebration of Beverly Hills, 90210‘s thirtieth anniversary this month, here are the final 13 iconic moments, covering the show’s later years, in which its most notable events involve the departures of major characters as the show transforms into a more traditional primetime soap opera.
13. Valerie arrives in Beverly Hills: Season 5, Episode 1, “What I Did On My Summer Vacation and Other Stories”
With the onset of the fifth season of Beverly Hills, 90210, the producers of the show found themselves needing to fill the void left behind by Shannon Doherty’s departure. To do so, they tapped Tiffani Amber-Thiessen, fresh off her iconic role as Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell (the kind of squeaky-clean, brightly-colored, no-consequences teen show that 90210, in its early existence, was actively working in contrast against) to play Valerie Malone, an old friend of the Walshes transplanted from Buffalo, NY to Beverly Hills.

Twilight Time released five titles in February, and while their monthly selections never really have an official theme between them four of the films share something of a common thread this time — the importance of love and the inevitability of death. To Sir, With Love follows a reluctant teacher’s efforts to empower teenagers to respect others and themselves, and he wins their hearts in the process. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre is Roger Corman’s take on one of the more infamous gangland killings from the ’20s. Lenny features Dustin Hoffman in Bob Fosse’s biographical film about famed and troubled comedian Lenny Bruce. Finally, and fittingly, Woody Allen’s Love and Death is about both of those things. I haven’t seen the fifth title, Stormy Weather, so we’ll just have to presume that someone in it loves and/or dies. To Sir, With Love (1967) Mark Thackeray (Sidney Poitier) is an engineer in...

There were practically no black films made by Hollywood studios until the late 1950’s; so when 20th Century Fox decided to make "Stormy Weather" back in 1943, it was a true novelty. Though there has been debate on whether the film (along with MGM's "Cabin in the Sky," directed by Vicente Minnelli) could be considered one of many “race” films of the period, considering that it has an all black cast, they were the only black films made during the 1940’s. But they both had the high gloss studio sheen and production values that race films from that time sorely lacked, because of their independent low budget origins. The storyline for "Weather" is...

The full Patti Labelle experience is not to be rushed. The showgirls have doffed their feathers, and the band has hung up its horns, following a Wednesday matinee of the Jazz Age Broadway revue After Midnight. But Ms. Labelle, who just brought down the house singing “Sunny Side of the Street” and “Stormy Weather” in her second performance of a three-week run as the show’s special guest star (after which the production will close), needs time to put on her flowing black loungewear and her sparkling Jimmy Choo flats and her going-out wig before greeting her adoring public at the stage door. It’s the same outfit she’d wear to the supermarket. Finally, Labelle descends, wearing giant Chanel sunglasses, one shoulder draped in a shimmering gray Louis Vuitton scarf, helped by her hairstylist and best friend, Norma Gordon Harris, and a trim, efficient 40-year-old with glasses, Zuri Edwards,...

Four-time Grammy winner k.d. lang is finishing up her run in the dance-heavy Broadway tapper After Midnight, having taken over for Fantasia Barrino as the second in a string of starry guest artists.
Singing classics like “Stormy Weather” and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” the show is a callback to lang’s jazz roots — and it’s an opportunity she’s relished as she prepares to end her Broadway debut. (lang will perform through Sunday, March 9, and the show will then welcome Toni Braxton and Babyface.) Before she packs up for good, lang chatted with EW...

The theme for this Thanksgiving Eve on "The X Factor" is Big Band Night. Well, that's current. I mean, don't get me wrong -- I love big band music, it's one of my favorite genres. But I'm pretty certain we're in for quite the trainwreck with some of these performers. Hope they prove me wrong.
1. Rion Paige, "Swingin'," LeAnn Rimes
Well, if they aren't making them perform actual "big band" music, just in front of a big band, that's very different than what I was envisioning. That might work out for most of them.
Anyway, vocally, this isn't showing off Paige's voice as much as the slower songs, but that's not really what this is about. This is designed to show off her personality and she's certainly handling the hard lyrics really well.

HollywoodLife.com chatted with the remaining ‘Idol’ contestants about the possibility of getting the crooner on the judges’ panel.
You never know which American Idol contestants will be left standing week after week — and the same can be said for the show’s judges! In recent years, the panel has been a revolving door of A-list talent, so it’s safe to assume the Fox competition series will need at least one new face at the table next season. HollywoodLife.com chatted with this season’s remaining finalists, and the ladies are in agreement: They want Harry Connick Jr.!
The handsome crooner — who joined the show as a mentor and performer this week — clearly left a major impression on the remaining ladies, as we learned when we spoke with them following the May 1 episode.

“I love him,” Kree Harrison told us about Harry.

There were at least three tiffs at the judges table on "American Idol" on Wednesday night, but one of them wasn't actually between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.
Guest mentor for the week -- Harry Connick Jr. -- and longtime judge Randy Jackson had a bit of a disagreement.
The moment happened after Randy watched Kree Harrison perform "Stormy Weather," and during his commentary, he suggested she should have performed the Etta James version on the song.

Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger walk the red carpet in Cannes. [Photo credit: Getty Images] Stormy Weather: The weather in Cannes, normally gorgeous in the seaside community, turned unexpectedly dark and rainy. The storms caused part of a roof to collapse at a temporary structure used as a theatre during the festival; two screenings were cancelled. [The Hollywood Reporter] Cannes Buzz: As more films unspooled over the weekend, talk turned to which films might break out of the festival into mainstream consciousness (and possible awards consideration), as The Artist and others did last year. The most obvious contender would seem to be The Sapphires, which The Weinstein Co. acquired just before the festival began, though Harvey Weinstein has tried to lower award expectations...

Everett Etta James, c. late 1950s
Etta James, the sultry, powerful blues, R&B and jazz singer who infused her work with a depth of emotion culled from hard-fought experience, died today in Riverside, Calif. She was 73. In 2010, Ms. James was diagnosed with leukemia. The singer also suffered from hepatitis C and dementia and spent two weeks in the hospital earlier this month.
Ms. James is best known for her 1961 hit “At Last,” which is the definitive version of the oft-covered classic.

Soul-singing legend Etta James has died from complications arising from leukemia. Her husband, Artis Mills, and her sons were at her side, according to her longtime friend and manager Lupe De Leon. She was seventy-three. Born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles to a teen mother, James never knew her father, though she suspected he was the pool player Minnesota Fats. She grew up with a series of surrogate parents, including a couple that owned a boardinghouse. In 1950, she set up shop in San Francisco, where she was discovered by Johnny Otis. Eventually, she was signed to Chess Records, where she recorded classic cuts like "Stormy Weather" and perennial wedding favorite "At Last" (dramatized inaccurately in the film Cadillac Records). James had her share of personal struggles, including a battle with heroin addiction and a disposition charitably described as "brassy." De Leon told CNN [...]...

Randy gets witchy.
Kim Novak and James Stewart may have been feeling a bit dizzy from “Vertigo” when they teamed up again less than a year later for “Bell, Book and Candle.” This romantic comedy is set in Manhattan, during the Christmas season. The story revolves around a subculture of witches there. Despite the beautiful cinematography, the backdrop of real-life witchcraft has always made me feel that New York City is a much weirder place than people are letting on. See “Rosemary’s Baby” for more on that angle. ”Bell, Book and Candle” is, however, a beautifully shot movie and makes a great way to kick off the holiday season.
That is, if you don’t concentrate too much on the meaning of the title. A bell, book and candle are used in excommunication rites, so linking that imagery with the Christmas season may seem a bit Grinchly. If you...

When it comes to feel-good viral potential, it's hard to think of a more potent duo than the band Ok Go and the Muppets.
As performers on The Green Album, a collection of Muppets covers by artists including Ok Go, My Morning Jacket and Weezer, the band behind the acclaimed "treadmill video" for "Here It Goes Again" got the chance to film another music video with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their assorted friends.

Kulash, an affable man with a Gap-clean aesthetic, who is clearly comfortable chatting with reporters, was eager to talk about the upcoming video and just how great it is to be on their own label, Paracadute.

A film of the opening minutes of Herbert Beerbohm Tree's production of The Tempest was made in 1905. But there was no cinematic follow-up until after the second world war, when the play inspired a western (William Wellman's Yellow Sky) and a remarkable sci-fi yarn (Forbidden Planet), neither using Shakespeare's text. Then came Paul Mazursky's likable The Tempest (John Cassavetes as a self-exiled New York architect), which also dispensed with the text, and Derek Jarman's homoerotic version, which uses Shakespeare's words and turns the masque into a cabaret featuring Elisabeth Welch singing "Stormy Weather" with a chorus of prancing matelots. Peter Greenaway's postmodernist Prospero's Books had the 85-year-old John Gielgud (fulfilling a dream of playing Prospero on screen) speaking the lines of all the characters.

(1991, 15, Second Sight)
Two of British maverick director Derek Jarman's most accomplished films are interpretations of Jacobethan texts. One is his magical 1979 treatment of Shakespeare's The Tempest (in which the masque takes the form of Elisabeth Welch performing "Stormy Weather" with a chorus of camp matelots). The other, shot while Jarman was dying of Aids, is this sombre modern dress version of Christopher Marlowe's Edward II (in which Annie Lennox sings Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" as the eponymous king parts from his lover, Piers Gaveston). Unfolding in flashback as Edward (Steven Waddington) awaits his execution, the film pares Marlowe's play to the bone and stages it on a claustrophobic set of unscalable walls and sand-covered floors. With dramatic lighting by Ian Wilson and striking costumes by Sandy Powell, subsequently a multiple Oscar and Bafta winner, the movie contains graphic, horribly painful violence, finds strong parallels...

Tom Ford’s feature debut is a triumph of style and substance, of ecstatic emotions and deadening grief which among its merits is the chance it gives for its lead, Colin Firth, to realise his potential as an actor with a performance worthy of the awards nominations it is receiving. He has done some fine work in recent years and, while making a living out of the legacy of Mr. Darcy in comedies rarely worthy of the name, in A Single Man his quality shines.
Firth’s typecasting is not a surprise. It happened when he emerged drenched from a swim in the BBC’s iconic 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejduice, further stapled to the subconscious with his roles as Mark Darcy (see what they did there?) in Bridget Jones’ Diary. He was eternally the emotionally repressed, upper class snob, morally and socially ambiguous, but in Tom Ford’s film...

The Human Race Theatre Company will bring a new musical about the rags-to-riches life of one of the 20th century's most acclaimed performers to The Loft Theatre in June. Ethel Waters: His Eye Is On The Sparrow tells Waters' story, from birth to a 13-year old mother in a Philadelphia slum, through massive trials and travails, to becoming a star of nightclubs, recordings, Broadway, film and the Billy Graham Crusade. While His Eye Is On The Sparrow presents a happy opportunity for local audiences to see a fine new work, one that includes such massive hits for Waters as the title song and "Stormy Weather," the event that led to its selection is a sad one. August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean, part of the late playwright's famed Pittsburgh Cycle, had been scheduled for June, but will not be performed.

The Kooks couldn't have chosen a more ironic band name if they tried. There's a long, venerable tradition of harmless British eccentrics—amateur stamp enthusiasts and custard obsessives litter nm0002005 autoAgatha Christie[/link] novels and Kinks songs alike—but musically, The Kooks have nothing in common with well-loved weirdoes like nm0244443 autoIan Dury[/link]. Instead, their second album fits squarely into the Libertines-fixated mainstream of Nme-approved buzz bands. Don't care for their ska-tilting, strummy acoustic guitars and benign rockers? Half a dozen interchangeable ensembles will be along shortly. To pass the time until then, enjoy their diverse lyrical interests: On "Love It All," for example, the chorus is "She said 'love it all, love it all, love it all.'" On the next song, "nm0033949 autoStormy Weather[/link]," they offer "Yes, it feels like love, love, love." There's nothing inherently offensive about The Kooks: They're reasonably...
