The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer is recovering from surgery to replace both of his hips. Joel, 61, underwent surgery last week to correct a congenital condition and is "doing extremely well," his spokeswoman tells People. Joel toured earlier this year, but he's been slowed by the condition in his hips -- he's been walking with a cane in recent weeks -- and opted to have them both replaced in one operation. There's no word yet on when he'll be able to perform again. We wish him a smooth recovery.

The filmmaker posted a first-look photo to the official "Twilight Saga" Facebook fan page Thursday (Nov. 25) with the following message: "Happy Thanksgiving and a crazy Black Friday to all of you and yours." Spoilers! If you haven't read the books and don't know what's in store for Bella, it's best to stop reading now. As you can see, the pic is of an arm amongst some scattered feathers, but it's much more than that, right? As we know from the books, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Rob Pattinson) are officially married and go on their honeymoon at the beginning of "Breaking Dawn." What we see is the aftermath of that honeymoon night because Bella, being human and all…

In the upcoming episode "Caged Heat," Meg is back to her old tricks. She's still being portrayed by returning guest star Rachel Miner - though in the past she's appeared as Nicki Aycox and even Jared Padalecki when she possessed Sam in Season 2. For once, Sam's lack of a soul is coming in handy. Meg kidnaps the Winchesters, but while Dean (Jensen Ackles) panics, Sam remains calm enough to see through Meg's act. He even finds the whole thing funny. "She can't do jack squat. She's totally screwed. Look at her, Dean. She's furious. If she could kill you, she'd have done it by now. She's running." Sam deduces that Meg is on the run from the newest King of Hell, their good fr…

We just didn't figure it would be this way. Braff kinda-sorta makes an appearance in Wednesday's (Nov. 24) episode, and you can see it (along with the return of the cul-de-sac crew's pantomime murder-suicide) in the first clip below. The primary focus of the episode (called "When the Time Comes") is Thanksgiving -- and specifically Jules' (Courteney Cox) attempts to make the holiday romantic when she says "I love you" and Grayson (Josh Hopkins) doesn't reciprocate. The rest of the gang doesn't really think Thanksgiving can be made sexy, which is the subject of the second clip. Also, Travis (Dan Byrd) brings his roommate Kevin (LaMarcus Tinker) home for the holiday, giving…

Dexter is closing in on everybody. In Sunday's (Nov. 28) episode "In the Beginning," everyone is getting closer to either the truth, capturing their prey or showing their hand. Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) and Quinn (Desmond Harrington) confront Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller) about his missing head of security and his apparent lack of concern. It's fun to watch Deb because she's not one to hide her feelings, and Jordan definitely is feeling defensive. Don't poke the bear, Deb! Who knows who he'll take his anger out on next. At least she's not his "type." Speaking of "type," Lumen (Julia Stiles) has noticed that Emily Birch -- she of the blood necklace -- looks similar to he…

Let's give thanks this holiday season that The Walking Dead will air its penultimate episode of the season on Sunday, Nov. 28 at 10 p.m. ET. Sadly, Andrea (Laurie Holden) is not celebrating after the loss of her sister Amy (Emma Bell) in that incredibly horrific zombie attack (we're still jumping at shadows). We really can't blame her, but the sad reality is that she needs to move on and "deal with" her sister's body. We don't think that there's necessarily a risk of Amy becoming a walker -- she just died from her wounds, and didn't come down with a fever -- but we could be wrong about how the zombie mythology works in this series. But it would be difficult to see Amy ad…

We're talking about President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) of"The West Wing" of course, although we're sure Obama isn't above seeking help during the holidays either. On a special Thanksgiving-themed episode of "The West Wing," Bartlet discovers the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line (1-800-BUTTERBALL), which Charlie (Dule Hill) calls the "Butterball hotline." "God, I love my country," says Bartlet. We agree. The president then proceeds to call and stay on hold until he reaches a helpful poultry expert and then asks some tricky questions about stuffing. Our favorite line about whether or not cooking stuffing inside a turkey could kill his guests: "I'm not saying that's necessarily a d…

It seems like I'm saying that just about every week, but "Chuck" is on a huge roll of late. Last week's minor letdown aside, the show has been piling excellent on top of excellent for at least a month. We have to start with the giant blonde she-male -- er, Sarah (actually, the overplaying of that joke was one of the few bum notes in this episode) and her "Kickboxer"/"Ong Bak"/"Bloodsport"/pick your favorite martial-arts movie fight in Thailand. We haven't seen this much Sarah Walker awesomeness in one episode in a long time, and watching her pretty much obliterate any and all in her path gave a huge jolt of adrenaline to the episode -- and the fight choreography in the "K…

"I'm working for Crowley, aren't I?" Sam argues. But we can't blame Dean for being skeptical. Maybe it's just Sam's cold expression, but it's hard for us to believe him. After all he's been through in his life -- a rough childhood, a dead girlfriend, and the whole Lucifer's vessel thing -- maybe having no feelings at all is a bit of a relief. He's felt plenty already. The standard Winchester whiskey heart-to-heart (or, in this case heart-to-cold-shell-of-a-heart) is interrupted when Sam suddenly vanishes into thin air. You'd think Dean would be used to this with Castiel, but he draws his gun anyway, and finds Sam passed out on the floor in another room. Ruh-roh. What are …

Luckily, he won't have to go it alone -- he's found an unexpected ally in Caroline (Candice Accola). Accola and Trevino stopped by the Zap2it offices today for a little visit, and I had to get all the scoop on their characters' unlikely bond. We've all been speculating as to whether Caroline and Tyler will ever hook up - Twitter fans even refer to them as "Forwood." (Get it? Caroline Forbes, Tyler Lockwood... yeah.) I'm not a fan of those smushed-together names, though, so from here on out the potential vampire-werewolf romance will be henceforth be known as The Monster Mash on Zap2it. I do what I want. When I asked that inevitable love connection question, they played co…

America's most famous teen mom (sorry, Amber Portwood) got some of her best scores of the competition on Monday's (Nov. 22) final performance show, but she still ended up at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard. Her first dance, a jive, earned 9s across the board, but she fell a little short of her fellow competitors with her freestyle number, ending up with a combined score of 52. Maybe it was the lack of lifts -- she and partner Mark Ballas stayed on the floor for their routine, and it ended up looking like a relatively low-risk choice compared to Massey and Lacey Schwimmer's boogaloo and the flying around Derek Hough and Grey did in their freestyle. Video of the perf…

According to the casting sides, "Klaus is late-20′s to mid-30′s. He's handsome, charming, intelligent, with a sharp wit. He's the only person who can out-Damon Damon. That's because he's got a thousand years on him. Klaus is one of the Originals. Possibly the oldest. But you'd never know it because he keeps up with the times." Ooh, sounds sexy. We put our heads together and came up with our list of dream casting for the pivotal role, so here are our nine favorites. We tried to keep it to TV actors, because we can all dream big, but we're pretty sure that Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio are unlikely to swing by Mystic Falls any time this century.

As we can see from this episode, Shane (Jon Bernthal) is once again having to flex his muscles to keep the peace at camp. Jim is such a gentle soul though. We're not sure why this scene had to go down that way. The whole camp shouldn't have been called it as if it were some intervention. Most heartbreaking line ever: "The only reason why I got away is that the dead were too busy eating my family." We've seen this episode in advance, and there's so much action in it, including what Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the other group are dealing with in Atlanta. Seriously, it's a good one. Episode 4, Vatos airs on Sunday, Nov.21 at 10 p.m. ET. Follow Zap2it and Zap2itHanh on Twitter …

[imgleft] [/imgleft] On "Caprica" the searches for Zoe and Tamara continue -- in two very different ways. "Ghosts of a Machine" gave glimpses into the origin of the human Cylon idea in its very early stage. Little does Daniel know, that will be the bane of his existence in years to come. The Hunt for Tamara: Joseph embarks on his journey to find his daughter Tamara with his new friend/private investigator Emmanuelle in New Cap City. His wardrobe has changed to emulate that of mens' fashion in the '50s in order to "camoflauge" himself with the rest of the citizens in the fake world. Their goal? To make their way across the city without dying. Sounds simple enough. To h…

[imgleft] [/imgleft]Katharine McPhee is guest-starring on "Community" Thursday (March 11), but had things broken a little differently you could have seen the former "American Idol" runner-up on an different NBC series this season. McPhee tells Zap2it that earlier this season she talked with NBC about a role on "Trauma": "It was after the show had already started to air," she says. "They were going to add a new character, and I was going to go to network and test for the part, but I really wasn't ready to sign on for a show. ... It just didn't work out." The experience did, however, put McPhee "on the NBC radar," and that eventually helped lead to her guest spot on "…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] The Super Bowl XLIV showdown between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts is all well and good, but what about the commercials? Super Bowl ad spots cost top dollar so they had better be good. Check out some of the 2010 Super Bowl's greatest hits, then go take a look at some of the worst ads: Betty White, Abe Vigoda take the field for Snickers This gets a big thumbs up from us. Betty White is awesome, particularly on "That's not what your girlfriend said." And what an unexpected cameo by Abe Vigoda at the end. We weren't entirely sure Abe was still alive, so good to know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rauK4fBjkI&feature=p…

[imgleft] [/imgleft]Did the funniest Ashton Kutcher bit go unaired on the Feb. 6 "Saturday Night Live" episode? You decide. A few weeks ago, "SNL" kept the funniest Charles Barkley skit off the air -- you only saw him in drag as Alicia Keys during the preceding NFL game. This week, Ashton Kutcher's digital short advertising Tooter (a Twitter-like network that broadcasts Kutcher's flatulence emissions, or "gissions") didn't make it to air. http://www.hulu.com/...8fF93YXvJTxQKaw What do you think? Glad it got cut? Wish it had been included? It's not the funniest thing we've ever seen but... still better than the "Burn Notice" sketch. Follow Zap2it Andr…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] Henry Winkler heads to USA, Georgina Sparks is back on the UES and "American Choppers" is done on TLC. Ayyyyy! Henry Winkler is coming to the second season of "Royal Pains" on USA. Winkler will be playing Eddie R. Lawson, daddy dearest to Hank (Mark Feuerstein) and Evan (Paulo Costanzo). As far as looks go, that's a great piece of casting right there. Meanwhile, the bitch is back on the Upper East Side for the season three finale. Details are still being worked out, but Georgina Sparks was sent away under circumstances not to her liking, so actress Michelle Tractenburg assures fans "Georgina will be seeking vengeance." In pilot land... "Th…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] Sheryl Crow showed up on "30 Rock" last season playing herself, but acting wasn't exactly her thing... until now. "Cougar Town" sources confirm that Crow has been cast in a three-episode arc as Grayson's (Josh Hopkins) new girlfriend. Word is, Crow's character will be a wine distributor, which makes sense given that Grayson owns a bar. Crow is a close friend of "Cougar Town" star Courteney Cox and series creator Bill Lawrence is known for giving guest roles to friends of his show's actors. Question is, can Crow act? We're thinking, yes. She is going to be in three whole episodes. Any thoughts on the casting? Follow Korbi on Tw…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] "FlashForward" is going through another behind-the-scenes shakeup, with co-creator David S. Goyer stepping aside as showrunner. The ABC series, which premiered to big ratings but tailed off during its fall run, is in the midst of an on-air hiatus and will return March 18. Goyer will still be "involved" in the show and retain an executive producer credit, the showbiz trades report, but he won't be the person in charge of the day-to-day operations. Goyer's departure is the second showrunner change "FlashForward" has made in its short life. Mark Guggenheim joined the series after its pilot but left in October, ceding the reins to Goyer. ABC hasn't …

[imgleft] [/imgleft] This one's pretty simple: The cast and crew of "Supernatural" love their fans as much as their fans love them. Or almost as much. The depth of "Supernatural" Nation's ardor for all things Winchester-related is, as far as we know, limitless. The show celebrated the filming of its 100th episode recently, and our friends at The CW Source were on hand to chat with the likes of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins and several members of the show's production team. The theme? One of heartfelt thanks to all the people who have watched over the past five seasons. Corny? Maybe. But you get the sense that they really mean it. Judge for yoursel…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] Fast National ratings for Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010 "The Mentalist" scored Thursday's biggest audience on what was a somewhat soft night for network TV overall. An exception was "Bones," which had another strong outing for FOX. CBS led the way Thursday night with 12.5 million viewers and a 7.8 rating/13 share in households. FOX (9.85 million, 5.9/9) came in second, a little bit ahead of ABC (9 million, 6.0/10). NBC's 5.2 million viewers and 3.3/5 were good enough for fourth, while The CW (3.2 million, 2.0/3) got a solid performance from "The Vampire Diaries." ABC grabbed the top spot -- barely -- in adults 18-49 with a 3.1 rating. CBS and FOX …

"Smallville" reaches way back into the DC Comics archives Friday (Feb. 5) for its two-hour movie "Absolute Justice." How far back? Dr. Fate (Brent Stait) and Stargirl (Britt Irvin) back. We're talking Justice Society of America here. Hawkman (Michael Shanks) is part of the action too.

[imgleft] [/imgleft] "True Blood" has filled in the last major piece of its season 3 casting puzzle, adding Brit Morgan to the ensemble. Morgan ("The Middleman") will have a recurring part on the HBO hit as Debbie Pelt, the ex-girlfriend of Alcide (Joe Manganiello), according to The Hollywood Reporter. As is the case in the Sookie Stackhouse books on which the show is based, Debbie is -- to put it mildly -- not a fan of Sookie's (Anna Paquin). Morgan's other credits include a guest spot on "Cold Case" and the Toby Keith movie "Beer for My Horses." In other casting news: - Emily Rose ("Brothers & Sisters," "John From Cincinnati") will play the lead role…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] ABC has finally cleared a space on the schedule for its drama "Happy Town." The series, a small-town mystery the network is comparing to "Twin Peaks," will premiere at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday, April 28. It will fill the spot currently held by "Ugly Betty," which will have completed its final season by then. ABC has ordered eight episodes of "Happy Town," which means it will likely run into the early part of the summer. "Happy Town" is the last of the six dramas ABC ordered last spring to get a premiere date. It takes place in the small town of Haplin, Minn., where a mysterious kidnapper resurfaces after several years, dredging up a whole bunch o…
