![]() What's On Tonight? - Monday, February 8Posted by Ariana | Monday, February 8, 2010 @ 4:41pmCheck in with us daily to see what's new tonight in TV. ![]() The Melodic Monkey Awards: Our Top Music of 2009Posted by Paul Little | Sunday, January 31, 2010 @ 11:22pmTonight, the music world celebrated the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, which we covered on our site. But as we did last year, we're pairing up our annual awards for the best in music along with the industry's awards. Last year, we just gave you a list of our favourite albums, but from this year onward, we're breaking things down into categories, complete with our nominees and winners, much like the awards shows themselves.
Late night talk show guests: February 8-14Posted by Paul Little | Monday, February 8, 2010 @ 10:08pmSo apparently I needed a week off after Conan left the air (repeats don't count!) before talking about late night television again. And it's true, the winner of our Best Overall Late Night Show of 2009 award is still on the air in repeats for one more week before Vancouver Olympics coverage kicks in -- though you wouldn't know it from visiting NBC's website. Despite still airing Conan's Tonight Show on their network for another week, as of last Friday, they've eliminated all mention of Conan O'Brien from their web properties -- no videos, no bios, no anything. Every section or dedicated site that linked to something Conan-related -- including the "Twitter Tracker" and "Conando" sites, blogs, videos on NBC.com and Hulu.com -- have been erased from their servers (and not just his Tonight Show stuff, as all his old Late Night video archives are gonzo, too). They even took down a great Tonight Show history website they had set up, going over all the great moments from Steve Allen and Jack Paar, through Johnny Carson's 30 years and Jay's first run as host, because it mentioned Conan O'Brien. It's all a bit odd.
Supernatural: The Song remains the SamePosted by Kyle Tetarenko | Friday, February 5, 2010 @ 11:55amThe writers of Supernatural must have had a ringing in their ears because this week we finally see the return of the angels. “I take it all back, I love the devil” says Dean – to the stripper dressed in a red latex devil costume, dancing in front of him. After a few seconds Dean closes his eyes to find yet another stripper, in angel garb, starting to get freaky with the devil stripper. Dean closes his eyes again hoping the third time will bring something even better but instead the strippers are gone and the angel Anna, played by Julie McNiven, is standing in front of him. Hot Tub Time Machine stars visit Toronto Maple Leafs gamePosted by Paul Little | Friday, February 5, 2010 @ 2:45amActors Clarke Duke (Sex Drive, ABC Family's Greek) and Collette Wolfe (Observe and Report) were in Toronto earlier this week for a press tour of the upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine. If you haven't yet heard of the film, which comes out March 26th, you're missing out on what promises to be the most ridiculous -- in the best way possible -- movie of the year. The Office: SabrePosted by Lawrence Lee | Friday, February 5, 2010 @ 2:44amAfter a near-two month wait, The Office returns with a new full length episode. This episode is deliberately meant to create a different feel, which succeeds, especially when contrasted with the clipshow from 2 weeks ago. The major change which everybody encounters is the acquisition by Sabre. Despite the fact that the Scranton branch has been economically successful, the employees, especially Michael, are having difficulties adjusting. They are feeling it from the petty new changes such as the drink bottles, to the identity shifting of a paper company, to a printer company that also happens to sell paper. American Idol Season 9: Coming Soon!Posted by Ariana | Wednesday, February 3, 2010 @ 11:13pmI said I'd show up when Ellen did, and she was there tonight in the previews for Hollywood Week next week, so here we are. Next week, the real fun will start. Each week, you'll find a recap of the performances and results right here on ShowbizMonkeys shortly after the Wednesday night show, and then I want to hear from all of you. Lost: LA X (Parts 1 & 2)Posted by David Robertson | Wednesday, February 3, 2010 @ 5:52pmThe new and final season of Lost promised to answer many lingering questions, too many questions to list here, however the first episode probably left me with more questions. This confounding but brilliant series has thrown so many twists at us that at times it's hard to remember all the things we need to know this year. But they've sure gotten off to a typical start. Meaning: "What????" Oscar nominations: Avatar and The Hurt Locker lead the way with 9 nominations eachPosted by Paul Little | Tuesday, February 2, 2010 @ 7:38pmFor the first time in over half a century, there are ten films nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Many thought that this may dilute the prestigious category, while others hoped it would open up the door to certain types of films that deserved nominations but are often ignored by the Oscars. Now that the nominees have been announced, it probably leans more to honouring deserving films that would normally be ignored, with dark sci-fi film District 9 and brilliant Pixar film Up scoring Best Picture noms. Avatar and The Hurt Locker are the big winners as far as nominations go, each receiving nine, while Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds picked up eight nominations and Up in the Air and Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire each garnered six. Not surprisingly, the directors of the five films leading the nominations are going head to head in the Best Director category (and likely would've been the five films vying for Best Picture had they not expanded that category). The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love - Episode 5Posted by Ramya Velmurugiah | Tuesday, February 2, 2010 @ 10:55amEveryone’s falling. But it’s okay. Chris Harrison is presumably hungover so Jake plays hosts for the time being and informs the girl of this week’s itinerary – there will be 3 one-on-one dates and 1 two-on-one date. And first up is Tenley. Beyoncé and Taylor Swift clean up at Grammys; performances the real highlight of the showPosted by Paul Little | Sunday, January 31, 2010 @ 10:30pmThe 52nd Annual Grammy Awards as a television show weren't really much about the awards themselves, but rather the performances, which I suppose is how it should be. Unlike the Oscars and Emmys, the ceberation of the best in music can actually SHOW everyone the best in music without having to rely on brief clips and a hope that the audience has already seen the movies and shows. Sure, Beyoncé won a female-record 6 Grammys this year, and Taylor Swift won 4 of her own (including the "big one": Album of the Year). And there were a host of other multiple winners on the night, including Kings of Leon, The Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz, and the great Béla Fleck (a personal favourite). All wonderful news. But since most of those awards were handed out off-camera and not on the televised show itself, it was the performances that made this year's Grammys worth watching (for any pop music fan, anyway). Supernatural: Swap MeatPosted by Kyle Tetarenko | Friday, January 29, 2010 @ 1:05pmSo, here we go again with another episode since the return from hiatus (or hellatus as the Supernatural fans call it), still not dealing with Castiel or Lucifer nor the rest of this season’s story arc. The episode begins when Sam eagerly takes a seat at a bar and orders a banana daiquiri – which doesn’t seem entirely out of character for Sam. This is, after all, the same guy who orders health quake salad shakes at fast food joints. He also happens to be sitting next to a cougar who clearly has him in her sights. They chat but strangely, Sam introduces himself as Gary. The cougar offers to take him home and Sam responds “Are we talking about sex? Because I would love to have the sex with you.” It’s then we find out Sam’s body has been taken over by a geeky kid, played by Colton James, who you may recognize from 7th Heaven fame (playing the exact nerdy character).
