La, Calif. -- Regis Philbin is inching closer toward his departure from Live! with Regis & Kelly and theres one person in the ABC family hed like to see dominate his chair Dwts co-host Tom Bergeron. Why don't you Bergeron? What's he doing? Tom Bergeron isn't doing anything! Regis joked to gain access to Hollywood in the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., over the past weekend, where he was given a Legend Award. He could get it done and that he would like to get it done. He wants to become a talk show host, I have no idea the way they got him on that dance factor. It is not gonna last, he chuckled. Regrettably for Regis, his No. 1 candidate is not planning for a move. I cant, Sometimes about the West Coast, that demonstrate is about the New England, Tom told Access. As we could maybe get it done in Kansas fit everything in in Kansas, then Id be great. Yeah, yeah something of that nature. So while Tom will not be walking into Regis footwear in the near future, Regis also will not be crossing to Toms ballroom. No, I dont think so, its an excessive amount of work, Regis stated of individuals ongoing gossips he could mind towards the DWTS competition. Ive spoken to folks who've been on the program. Theyre all bumped up, they require new sides, new knees Ive done that shouldn't try it again. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Corporation.

MasterChef's Joe: Meet the Final 3

Master Chef Hello MasterChef fans, Monday night we watched the Final 4 compete in the second season of MasterChef USA. Over the last two months, it was Suzy, Jennifer, Adrien and Christian who rose to the top out of thousands who tried out, and as we saw this evening, not one of them is ready to go out without a fight! By now our remaining foursome have endured a constant stream of intense and emotionally draining tasks -- arguably some more fair than others, and yet have remained passionate and resilient. We felt they were ready and capable to take it to the next level by representing their country before a panel of highly revered international MasterChef judges. Competing for yourself is one thing, but knowing your performance will quite possibly make or break the reputation of your country's food culture is quite another. This challenge is a big deal! Although MasterChef is relatively new in the US, the show has a worldwide phenomenon with versions airing in India, Australia, and France, just to name a few. Not only is the skill level of our home cooks under scrutiny, they will be compared against home cooks from countries with a much richer and deeper food history than our own. In the eyes of much of the world, we have yet to shed our reputation as the worst offending fast food nation -- purveyors of cheap, mass-produced food, ready and eager to invade Shanghai or Antwerp with the next five-story McDonald's. To put something on the plate that is poor not only in its execution, but in its conception, will only solidify us as the land of SPAM and Lean Cuisine. We don't need any help in that department. Splitting the finalists into two teams of Jennifer and Adrien in blue, versus the Red Team of Christian and Suzy, we once again find Christian at the center of turmoil and discord. The Red Team failed to communicate and did not work as unit, and that is of course what showed up on the plate. Although Christian has a long history of strife in this competition, I must take Suzy to task for her role in their team's undoing. She really didn't give Christian as much as an inch, but then again, who can blame her? She's been dealing with his personality so long; you can see where he's worn her down. Christian says he's still fighting; his only opposition is himself at this point. I hope he watches these episodes and realizes two things: 1)that he has a real gift in the kitchen, and 2) he's teetering on the edge of tossing it all right out the window. What a shame that would be. The Blue Team's spot prawn and lobster dish won in the end, but they were certainly not without some mishaps of their own. Not cleaning the prawns? Seriously? Sitting at that table next to our esteemed guest judges, I was screaming inside. Overall, both dishes put forth were decent, but Jennifer and Adrien produced better results, and worked together as a team beautifully. For the pressure test, Suzy should have had the lemon meringue pie in the bag. And even though the pie itself was delicious, the meringue was disappointing and the crust was unvevenly done. Sadly, this sent her home. Tuesday night is the big dance, and concludes a long and arduous, albeit exciting journey for not only the remaining finalists, but for us judges as well. It has been a privilege to watch these talented and spirited home cooks pursue their dreams. Who will be the last man or woman standing? Tune in at 8/7c on Fox and find out. It's going to be a great night! Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching! Joe Who do you think should win - Adrien, Christian or Jennifer?

The New Trailer for Moneyball Changes the Game, For Good and Bad

Let’s get this out of the way up front: the latest trailer for Moneyball looks like the previous trailer for the film. It makes what many believed to be an unadaptable book into something dramatic, funny and altogether thrilling. At least in trailer form. (It helps that Brad Pitt is putting on the “full Redford” in the campaign; dude looks like Roy Hobbs’s son.) That said, there is a quibble — at least from a baseball standpoint. Says Pitt-as-Beane during a dramatic moment at the end of the newest clip, “If any other team wins the World Series, good for them. If we win, with this team, we’ll have changed the game.” Well, yes and no. If you don’t know the (very recent) history, that quote could lead you believe the third act of Moneyball includes a triumphant hoisting up of the World Series trophy. However, unless director Bennett Miller took some major dramatic license — spoiler alert if you’re not a baseball fan — that doesn’t happen. In fact, the Moneyball-era A’s never even made it to the World Series — they lost four straight American League Divisional Series match-ups between 2000-2003 (to the Yankees twice, the Red Sox and Twins), and, in 2006, were swept by Detroit in the American League Championship Series. They haven’t been to the postseason since. All of which is to say that Moneyball’s quote about changing the game is a bit disingenuous. Beane and Moneyball did change the game — the Moneyball A’s were a rag-tag group of “misfit toys” mixed with great starting pitching and at least one steroid user (Jason Giambi) that showed teams scouting wasn’t the only way to build a good team. Winning — or not winning — the World Series has nothing to do with Beane’s enduring legacy; why is the trailer pretending it did? Raise that AL West Champion banner with pride, Moneyball trailer! VERDICT: A walk is as good as a hit. [via Slashfilm]
