On Tuesday we learned that AMAZING news that Betty White will be starring in a new TV series on TV Land called Hot In Cleveland and today we get our FIRST LOOK at a scene from the pilot episode! Here are a few screencaps and a short description of this fun-looking series premiere ep:

Betty White’s on a roll. After jumping in the shower with Hugh Jackman for a funny opening to The Tonight Show, the 88-year-old comedian – and future SNL host – has landed a regular spot on TV Land’s new series Hot in Cleveland. In this first clip, White cracks wise as the salty caretaker of a house rented by Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Wendie Malick. Nothing – not Nazis, marijuana nor prostitution – is off limits for White’s character. Watch the first clip now!

YES!! Watch the clip in full after the jump …

Last Sunday we got our first look at the first leaked promo pics for the new line of Fashion sunglasses called MDG which were designed by Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana (just a few days after we learned Maddy is launching her own fashion line called MG Icon). Today we get our first look at the sunglasses themselves … check ‘em out:

After forming her own brand with Neil Cole’s Iconix Group and creating the Material Girl juniors collection for Macy’s, it’s clear that Madonna has a very bright future in fashion. Perhaps to shield her from any harmful UV Rays of Light, the designing diva is partnering with pals Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for a collection of sunglasses to be sold bearing the logo MDG. “Designing an eyewear line with Madonna was a new experience for us. The oversized and wraparound designs are sexy and very feminine, like our clothes. Madonna’s creative contribution and unique point of view were key, even in designing the MDG logo,” Dolce and Gabbana remarked in a release. The six-pair collection, retailing for $250 to $290, will be produced and distributed by Luxottica, Dolce & Gabbana’s eyewear licensee. The glasses will be available at Dolce & Gabbana stores internationally, as well as Sunglass Hut and select opticians starting in May. Madonna and the designers have collaborated on several projects previously — including the costumes for her 1993 Girlie Show tour — and she currently appears in the design house’s spring ad campaign.

These glasses look great! Thus far, I’m impressed. I might have to get an oversized pair of shades for myself … you know, cuz it gets really sunny here in SoCal :) What do y’all think … do you like this new line of sunglasses?

Funny woman Tina Fey is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Esquire magazine. While Tina is lookin’ sexy as hell on the cover, she’s lookin’ very much the funny girl in her accompanying photospread. Here is our first look at Tina’s Esquire coverphoto and some excerpts from her interview:

The best doughnut? That’s Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn. It’s a Polish bakery. We shot nearby once for 30 Rock. It’s a white-cream-filled powdered doughnut. And I really believe, when I first tried it, if I had a penis, I would put it in this doughnut. I finally understand what you guys are thinking about and what motivates you guys.

My four-year-old daughter has a pretend hair-and-nail salon, and I was doing her hair and makeup. I said, “Hello ma’am. What’s your name? And what do you do?” And she said, “I get paid to dance at parties.” And I said, “Oh, no. That’s a terrible, terrible answer.”

She says she looks like Barack Obama. I think she heard so many people at that time saying I looked like Sarah Palin, I think she was just trying to get in on that. “I look like Barack Obama.” Okay. Sure.

Twitter seems like a busman’s holiday: just more writing. I have no plans to do it. I’ll just stick with my 24/7 webcam. I’m old-fashioned that way.

Plots we would not do on 30 Rock? Let me put the Internet at ease: Liz and Jack will never be together. Not even if we go fifteen seasons. Okay, if we get to season fifteen, they’ll do it.

I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on planet earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?

After the jump, check out a few photos from Tina’s photoshoot and read some more excerpts from her Esquire coverstory interview …

Earlier this month we met a new batch of cute characters that will be featured in the upcoming sequel film Toy Story 3 and just last week we met another. Today we get to meet yet another new Toy Story character … this one named Sparks:

Sparks will fly – literally – during electrifying playtimes with your new robot friend Sparks! This retro-inspired toy has flashing red LED eyes and a blaster cavity that actually spits out real sparks when he’s rolled along on his sturdy rubber wheels. Sparks also sports telescoping arms with working pincers, and an elevator action that raises his entire body to new heights. Sparking action completely child-safe. Requires two AA batteries (not included).

Dang! How many new characters are gonna be featured in TS3? As I understand it, the little boy in the movie will be all grown up and will be getting rid of his toys … and yet, we’re gonna be meeting a bunch of new toys. HMMM. Alls I know is I can’t wait to see these cute little guys on the big screen — and in 3D!! I’m not sure if we’ll be meeting any other new characters in the weeks to come but Toy Story 3 doesn’t open until June. Do YOU think we’ll be meeting new toys?

4 years after it went off the air, the hit supernatural TV series Charmed is making a comeback … in the world of comic books. As some of you may be well aware, Joss Whedon decided to revive the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series in comic book form and has been entertaining longtime (and new) fans with Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Season 8. Based on the success of the Buffy comics, Angel was also brought into the comic book world as well. It would appear that the owners of the Charmed license have been paying attention because today we learn that they are moving forward with the release of a Charmed comic book series that will pick up where the series left off when it ended its 8 year run back in May 2006. Here is our FIRST LOOK at Charmed #1:

Zenescope Entertainment has officially announced they have obtained the comic book and graphic novel publishing rights to the television property CHARMED (1998-2006) created by Constance M. Burge from Spelling Entertainment, under license from CBS Consumer Products. The comic book publisher, known for beautiful, sultry and strong female characters, has now added three more to the mix. The ultra-popular CHARMED television series aired for eight seasons on The WB network and averaged more than 4 million viewers throughout its run. Zenescope’s comic book series will feature a brand new storyline which picks up where the television series left off. The story follows the Halliwell sisters, a beautiful trio descended from a line of powerful but good witches, as they battle against evil beings in modern day San Francisco. Attached to write the new comic book series is author Paul Ruditis, who has written several Charmed novels such as Leo Rising (with Constance M. Burge) and As Puck Would Have It. Co-writing with Ruditis will be Raven Gregory, writer of the acclaimed Wonderland trilogy published by Zenescope. Renowned artist Dave Hoover (Captain America, The Wanderers) will be providing interior illustrations for the series. “The key to this series success is to strike a nice balance in creating a brand new, intriguing storyline for fans of the television show while also not alienating Zenescope and comic book readers who haven’t really followed it before but might want to now that it’s a comic,” said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco. “The great thing is that Paul and Raven have done just that with this story arc. Anybody will be able to pick up this series and follow it whether or not they ever watched the show before. Moreover, fans of the show are going to be thrilled when they see where this story goes.” Issue #0 is scheduled for a June release with issue #1 to debut at Comic Con International in San Diego this July.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I think some of you know that I have been on a HUGE Charmed kick lately (I’ve started re-watching the series, I’ll be finishing season 3 tomorrow) so this is very exciting news to me! Much like the Buffy comic employs writers from the TV series, it’s very smart for the Charmed comic book series to do the same. While the character of Prue Halliwell (played by Shannen Doherty) was NEVER resurrected on the TV series, I’m confident that writers will bring her back from the dead in some fashion in the comic books … mark my words! This is fantastic news … I’m so excited! I might have to make the trek down to San Diego Comic Con just to get the Charmed #0 comic book. Woot!

On Thursday we got our first look at the first promo trailer for the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse but Pink reader Amanda pointed me to a different video that is much more exciting and gives us a much better feel for the next installment of The Twilight Saga. Here are a few screencaps from that video:

I understand that this behind the scenes, on set video is included on the DVD release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon (which will be released on March 20, you can pre-order it HERE). I’m fairly certain that the most rabid of Twihards already have this DVD in their possession and are prolly well aware of this video. But, for the rest of us mere mortals who have to wait for the DVD’s release and who have yet to see it (and/or for those of you who simply can’t get enough), you can check out the full length 2-minute sneak peek video after the jump …

Earlier this week we learned that Madonna is launching her own fashion line called MG Icon and that the first offering from this new line will be a juniors collection called Material Girl. But today, we get our first look at new promo photos of Madonna modeling a new line of designer sunglasses that were created in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. I understand the sunglasses are called MDG (ie. Madonna + Dolce + Gabbana … and/or perhaps MaDGe) and this is what they look like:

It is being reported that this new line of sunglasses will be made available “soon” and will continue to be made available into 2011. What is not clear is whether or not this new line of shades has anything to do with Maddy’s new MG Icon fashion line. Whatever the case may be, I would certainly hope the glasses will be a bit more fashionable than the sunglasses Madonna designed for H&M a few years ago. While those glasses were cool (for $30 glasses), I would expect glasses designed by D&G to be of better quality (because you know they will come with a hefty price tag). Whether or not this sunglasses line has anything to do with Maddy’s new fashion line, it’s plainly obvious that she is moving boldly into the world of Fashion. Do you think you can handle it?
