Steven says that playing Jeremy Gilbert has been a "therapeutic" experience. He spent most of his childhood on the move, living with his mom and his stepfather, Luc Robitaille, a pro hockey player. "When we were living in Detroit, I had a real lack of direction," Steven tells the mag. "I started watching movies all day long." Though he never met his grandfather, Steven still got to enjoy him through movies like "The Great Escape" and "Bullit." Of course, when he decided to move to Los Angeles and take acting classes, it wasn't all about following in his family's footsteps. "I watched my grandfather's projects with admiration and looked up to him, but at the end of the da…

When we caught up with Jared Padalecki on the set of Supernatural earlier this year, he told us that Sam's time in hell was worse than Dean's. "Crowley says, 'I can't imagine what it's like in the cage, and I can imagine so many things,'" Padalecki said, "So we get the idea that Sam was in the bad part of hell. He wasn't like, in the penthouse. He was slumming down there.'" "Sam's soul has been locked in the cage with Michael and Lucifer for more than a year," the angel says. "And they have nothing to do but take their frustrations out on him. If we try to force that mutilated thing down Sam's gullet, we have no idea what could happen. It could be catastrophic." Could it …

But just like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)and the rest of the un-merry band of survivors, life must go on. Another episode, the finale even, awaits. In this exclusive Zap2it clip, we pick up where Episode 5 left off with the doors to the CDC (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) rising, bathing the wary survivors in a bright light. As they enter, they meet the lone scientist (Noah Emmerich) we saw in the previous episode who had accidentally contaminated the last "fresh" sample of zombie flesh -- labeled TS-19 -- he had for testing. Uh oh. Who do you think will come down with the Walker syndrome next and donate their body to science? Let's go back and find Jim. An…

"I was really excited about the whole thing," said Freeman. "It it really gives her character more depth. Up to this point, Tess has sort of been an amalgamation of other characters. She's a little bit mysterious, so she's a reflection of what everyone thinks of her. This [reveal] gives her a place in the story." Friday's (Dec. 3) episode, "Luthor," is sure to add more new twists to the family legacy. Tess finds a Kryptonian box that once belonged to Lionel (special guest star John Glover). But when Clark activates the box, he's transported to an alternate universe where the Kents never found him and he was raised instead by Lionel, as Clark Luthor. While Clark tries to …

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries": Klaus is looking to break the moonstone spell that prevents vampires from walking in the sun. In order to do it, he's going to need to sacrifice Elena... and almost everyone she cares about. To get to her, he'll stop at nothing. There's a catch, though. That moonstone binds not only the vampires' spell - but also the one that forces werewolves to transform at every full moon. It's a bit of a race to the finish line, because once one spell is broken, the other will be eternal. I needed a little bit of clarification on the whole spell situation, so I checked in with executive producer Julie Plec, and she confirmed that if the werewolf sp…

Now, Stephen Amell has been confirmed as a guest star and what do you know? He has a connection to our dearly departed werewolf as well. As first reported by E! Online, Amell will be playing Brady, who producers say is "an old friend of Mason Lockwood who blows into town with a vengeance. [He's a] loyal friend or your worst enemy depending on who you are. Did we mention he was hot?" A hot guy on "TVD"? What a nice change of pace for the show. No word yet on if Brady is a werewolf or not. Amell will appear in two episodes, one o…

On Sunday's (Dec. 5) episode "Hop a Freighter," Miami Metro isn't just looking for the rape club that targeted the Barrel Girls but also who might be taking out each of the guys -- well, Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) is anyway. Masuka (C.S. Lee) has found new evidence though, and Dexter (Michael C. Hall) isn't too thrilled that the police are trying endangering his prey (that's his job). Hmm, wonder how Laguerta (Lauren Velez) feels about Deb's little vigilante theory. Meanwhile, Dexter and Lumen (Julia Stiles) are all post-coital relationship-y feeling now. So of course they're cosy on the floor, doing what couples do best -- plot the capture of Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Mille…

The legendary child star who went on to become a U.S. ambassador died Feb. 10 at 85. Black starred in her first film at the age of 3 and had appeared in more than 40 movies by the time she was 12.

It's been quite a ride, and since we know that there's a Season 2 ordered, it'll continue in 2011. For now though, we're concerned with what the survivors find after they've entered the CDC and met Dr. Jenner (Noah Emmerich). In the finale, "TS-19," Jenner reveals that the designation stands for "Test Subject 19," a person who was bitten, infected and voluntarily allowed his/her body to be monitored and recorded and eventually dissected. "Everything you ever were or will be -- gone." It's a pretty grim subject despite the pretty lights, and you can tell this is disturbing Andrea (Laurie Holden) especially since this had just happened to her sister. We wonder though if thi…

Spoilers! If you're reading this and haven't watched the finale yet, then you must have the brain activity of a zombie. Most of the finale was spent inside the CDC with all the adults pretty drunk off of Jenner's cache of wine. We're thinking that they sobered up and got over their hangovers in a hurry though when he told them the CDC would undergo decontamination that would rival a nuclear bomb. Although the episode wasn't action-packed until the end, enough went on and was revealed that it's worth breaking it down and tackling items one at a time: 1. Shane The opening flashback scene may redeem Shane in some people's eyes. He only abandoned Rick after he tried saving …

First of all, love does not run smoothly in the "Dexter" world. As soon as a couple gets moony-eyed, we're afraid for the fate of their relationship or worse, their mortality. Both Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) and Dexter (Michael C. Hall) especially have bad track records. That doesn't mean we don't have hope though. We were reluctant at first but are coming around about Quinn (Desmond Harrington) and Deb together. She's seemed a little more steady, mature this season. And really, his declaration of love, saying that Deb's like a man, but in a good way, is just too adorable. Yeah, they deserve each other. We're not thrilled with how Deb's been making herself the target of Jor…

The Showtime drama starring Michael C. Hall as a serial killer who targets other serial killers has officially been renewed for a sixth season. It's no surprise really considering the show is on pace to post its highest ratings ever with its upcoming finale. The Nov. 28 episode "In the Beginning" drew the second-highest number of viewers in the series' ratings history, just shy of the Season 4 finale. The steady growth could mean big things for the most recent episode, "Hop a Freighter," and the Dec. 12 finale. "'Dexter' is the best suspense drama on television," says David Nevins, Showtime's President of Entertainment. "To grow its audience so significantly in its fifth…

The Ryan's Daughter star died Jan. 31 at 72 from complications of cancer. After moving to Hollywood, Jones was cast in the title role on ABC's The Legend of Jesse James, which aired for one season from 1965 to 1966. He abruptly left show business in 1969 because he was having an affair with actress Sharon Tate, the wife of Roman Polanski, and was devastated when she was murdered by followers of Charles Manson. His only film credit after that is in 1996's Mad Dog Time, though he was approached by Quentin Tarantino to star in 1994's Pulp Fiction and declined. In more recent years he focused on art and sculpting. Check This Out, Get Your Very Own Self Defense Keychain from …

On Sunday's (Dec. 5) holiday episode, the show concludes with an all-puppet segment that features the "Firework" singer. It's a nod to The Muppets, not only The Muppet Show but also "Sesame Street," the PBS children's show that had yanked Perry's music video with Elmo from its broadcast because of negative attention paid to her low-cut dress. The tone and dialogue is classic "Muppet Show," and when the Mr. Burns puppet celebrates, he echoes Kermit's stiff armed, head back posture. "Yay!" It's all a little disturbing, but we do like Grandpa Simpson and his pal Jasper Beardly playing the Statler and Waldorf roles in the balcony. <span style='font-family:"Arial, Helv…
