Keck's Exclusives: Chord Overstreet on His Return to Glee

Chord Overstreet When Chord Overstreet not successful get to contractual terms while using producers of Glee inside the summer season, his character, Mike Evans, was abruptly easily wiped off. (Inside the season premiere, it absolutely was referred to that his out-of-work father had showed up employment in Kentucky.) On December 6, audiences finally get some good resolution when Chord returns to McKinley High just when New Directions needs him most. "Finn and Rachel come find me and ask for my parents essentially can return to assist them win Sectionals," previews Chord.

I'm just getting fun, and Mark [Salling], Cory [Monteith], Harry [Shum, Junior.] and Kevin [McHale] were especially glad to welcome me back."

First Look: Pretty Little Liars Busted!

Pretty Little Liars Why orange ya smiling, ladies? Pretty Little Liars resumes its second season on ABC Family January 2, and while we're thrilled to have them back, our heroines aren't exactly jump-suiting for joy. Emily, Hanna, Aria and Spencer will suffer through a less-than-fashionable community-service sentence. "It's because of the shovel they were found with [in August's finale]," says exec producer Oliver Goldstick. "The last time you saw our girls, they were told that it was the shovel used to kill Alison... and it looked like they had possession of it for some time. So they are in a lot of trouble." Still, their situation could be worse. "They're [assigned to] picking up trash," adds Goldstick. "But we have yet to see a fast-food place in Rosewood, so it's high-end trash!"

Julie's Thanksgiving: 5 Movie-Related Things I'm Thankful For in 2011

Once again, it’s that time of year to overeat, yell at family members and give thanks. For you though, dear Movieline family, I will cut back on the profanities and gorging and instead share the five movie-related things that I am most grateful for this year. 1. Movie Ushers Who Let You Sneak Starbucks and Reasonably-Priced Candy Bought From a Second Location Into the Theater (You Know Who You Are) First off, a genuine moment of appreciation for the real heroes of my more recent moviegoing experiences. Not Martin Scorsese or Taylor Lautner or the audience members who didn’t pass out/puke during Human Centipede 2, but the minimum-wage earning theater workers who didn’t vehemently protest my outsider latte or Target-procured M&Ms like they were being paid millions to fight a war on third-party concession snacks. Thank you. For the rest of you uncool ticket takers, why don’t you keep an eye out for alcohol-sipping, sunglasses-sporting “moviegoers” carrying double-sided knife-hammers, meat thermometers or any kind of stabbing implement and leave my latte alone. 2. Bill Murray I am grateful for the one actor who can brighten my day, whether he arrives in an obscure casting announcement, a completely random Harvard marching band performance or any of my favorite movies like Meatballs, Rushmore and Lost in Translation. 3. Outrageous Film-Related Crimes That Miraculously Injure None But Entertain Many While I don’t support underage drinking or Pittsburgh carjackings, there are no news stories I love reading about more than crimes that are ridiculously blamed on films. They are pretty ingenious. Take for example the 21-year-old who tried to carjack a plainclothes police officer near the Dark Knight Rises this August — and then tried to tell the officer that the carjacking was part of the Batman sequel’s script. Amazingly idiotic! Or yesterday’s Twi-hard teen who turned to booze after her boyfriend failed to take her to a Breaking Dawn — Part 1 screening. Someone once said that it takes a fool to entertain the masses (okay, I said that) and these half-brained criminals are my fool of choice. 4. Real-Life Porn Stars and Vampires Who Are Willing to Guest Review Movies The world really would be a less-informed place if adult film superstar Joanna Angel hadn’t explained to Movieline how Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star presents a surprisingly honest depiction of the porn industry or if real-life vampire Merticus hadn’t revealed that vampire sex is indeed as intense as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart depicted it in this month’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1. 5. Katherine Heigl’s Year-Long Sabbatical I think I speak for most of you when I say, “Phew!” We really needed a Katherine Heigl break after the nasty one-two punch she delivered last year with Killers and Life as We Know It. You and I only have a few more weeks to enjoy this Heigl-less existence though because the former Grey’s Anatomy diva returns to the multiplex for the most grotesque ensemble movie event this year since Human Centipede 2 — Garry Marshall’s New Year’s Eve. What movie-related things are you thankful for?

VIDEO: Cloris Leachman's Panties Just the Tip of Last Picture Show's 40th Anniversary Reunion Iceberg

It wasn’t quite a complete reunion for Peter Bogdanovich and the cast of his 1971 breakthrough The Last Picture Show last night at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; there was no Jeff Bridges or Ellen Burstyn in sight, but plenty of the other main players including Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman (who gives a funny anecdote about an underwear-related scene), and Eileen Brennan joined Bogdanovich to recount stories from behind the scenes of the adapted Larry McMurtry novel. Yeah, it’d have been nice for The Dude to stop by, but you’ll find yourself transfixed by Brennan very soon anyway. Mrs. Peacock in the flesh, yo. Video (featuring moderator Luke Wilson) after the jump. Crank it to 17:30 to see Brennan mumble a bit, but remain fascinating. Though Leachman’s made a second (third? fourth?) career out of kicking ass in her mid-80s, it must be said that she is still divine. To quote The Last Picture Show, being crazy about a woman like her is always the right thing to do. Phyllis Lindstrom forever. academyawards on livestream.com.
