Who Went Home on AMERICAN IDOL?

I’ve been staring at this screen trying to figure out what to write.  Just moments ago I watched the AMERICAN IDOL results show and I am not only shocked but also a little rattled by the contestant who left the competition tonight.

I don’t want to spoil those of you on the West Coast, so I’ll continue after the break.

NIKITA Preview: ‘Covenant’

NIKITA finally returns with a brand new episode tonight and it is not one you should miss. The hour picks up right where we left off — with Michael in Nikita’s lair — and things turn nasty fast when he tells her she has 24 hours to find Kasim or he’ll reveal Alex as a mole.

Because of how big the hour is, I really don’t want to ruin it for you. But I can tease is that the episode flashes between the present and five years earlier. Pay attention to what went down in the past, because one key aspect will play a big part in the future.

Intrigued? Awesome. Tune in tonight at 9 PM on The CW to see what the heck I meant.

But in the meantime, have you missed any of NIKITA season one? The cast is here to help catch you up. Plus, check out a clip from “Covenant”!

Thirteen Returns to HOUSE: You Ask, I Answer

Olivia Wilde makes her long-awaited return to HOUSE this Monday, April 11th, under very unusual circumstances. After leaving Princeton Plainsboro so suddenly, many fans speculated that Dr. Remy Hadley, better known as Thirteen, had disappeared to seek experimental treatment for Huntington’s Disease. Other longtime viewers expected Thirteen to reappear with a baby bump.

Judging by this preview clip for “The Dig,” at least one of those possibilities can be ruled out:

I was lucky enough to see “The Dig” before it airs, so there are plenty more clues about what to expect if you keep reading…
