Justine Bateman was a child star who became a household name with "Family Ties." Now, all she wants is an "A"!

The 47-year-old former actress is a freshman at UCLA, and judging from her blog, she's kicking academic butt. Fifteen minutes of fame? Forget that!

"I was just thinking about 15 minutes and what can you do in 15 minutes and I realized, when I'm in an exam and the time is ticking, I can get from an 'F' to a 'B' in 15 minutes, MoFo," she wrote on her Tumblr.

If you want a funny, likable, charming host who can sing and dance, there's only one man to call — Neil Patrick Harris.

The star of "How I Met Your Mother" has been named the host for the 2013 Emmy Awards. It'll be his second major hosting gig this year after emceeing the Tony Awards for the fourth time on June 9.

"I couldn't be more honored and excited to be hosting this year's Emmy Awards," Harris said. "And what perfect timing — I'll just do the exact same script I'm about to use for the Tonys. 'And the Emmy for best revival of a musical goes to "Breaking Bad"!' See, told you it works."

CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said, "Neil is the quintessential host — engaging, entertaining and a true showman — with a passion for celebrating the medium we all love. We're thrilled

The trainwreck that was "Smash" ended in fitting fashion — with a stupid mistake to pile on top of all the other stupid mistakes of the past two seasons.

Anjelica Huston turns 61 on July 8.

The credits for the series finale misspelled star Anjelica Huston's name. Let's say it again: "Smash" misspelled the name of its biggest star, an accomplished Academy Award-winning actress who comes from Hollywood royalty and boasts an illustrious career spanning four decades.

You'd think they'd get her name right. Instead, the credits showed her name as "Angelica Huston."

The error was just the rotten cherry on top of the burned, ruin cake that was "Smash." When the musical drama debuted last year, it was hailed by critics and hyped by NBC as the next big thing. It wasn't. Backlash grew, which led to hate-watching. Viewers mocked Katharine McPhee's too-good character, the cartoonish villains (Terrible Ellis!), plot holes, boring storylines, and Debra Messing's

A new season of "The Bachelorette" premiered Monday night, and with it came the typical introductory meet-and-greets that have come to define the competition-based romance series. Starring Desiree "Des" Harstock (of Sean Lowe's season of "The Bachelor"), the debut began as most do: with a tour of the mansion and grounds before the lucky Bachelorette is introduced to her suitors.

Naturally, no longer "devastated" after being eliminated by Sean last season, Des is ready for love. Which is perfect, since, after revealing how much she loves cuddling (and art, and gazing into the horizon, based on the montage that accompanied her backstory), we were introduced to 20 swinging singles -- all of whom seemed just as excited to be there. However, five in particular really opened our eyes. And also our jaws, since we couldn't believe the words coming out of their mouths.

Could "Arrested Development" have planted magician/tailor Nick R. as a means to drum up publicity for Season 4? Maybe, since when he promised to make "Des" disappear, he actually just pulled her

(Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Entertainment Weekly)Reality TV couples last hardly longer than their 15 minutes of fame. Of the 25 "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" couples, only four have actually stayed together and gotten married.

So what's the secret to first "Bachelorette" Trista Rehn's 10-year marriage (with two kids) to Ryan Sutter? They stay out of the spotlight.

"We put everything else second to us being together and making a life," she told People magazine.

"If something comes up that we think is a great opportunity, we talk about it," she said. "It's about setting your priorities and truly committing to each other. You take advantage of opportunities that come to you but you don't let those take over."

"The Bachelorette" does have a higher rate of success than the original "Bachelor" franchise: Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum became the second "Bachelorette" couple to tie the knot last year.

On "The Bachelor" side, only Jason Mesnick married someone from the show — though she wasn't his original choice! He proposed to Melissa Rycroft in the finale, but later broke things off to be with runner-up Molly Malaney. They married and welcomed their first child together in April. And the most recent "Bachelor," Sean Lowe is still with Catherine Giudici; we'll see if wedding bells eventually ring for them.

There does seem to be a direct correlation between how much a "Bachelor" couple is in the spotlight and how quickly

Once upon the time, they were the stars of a couple of our favourite family sitcoms. But now, Danielle Fishel and Bob Saget are engaged in an all-out feud (about something you'd never see on a family sitcom -- unless it was "a very special episode").

It began with an interview. In March, "Boy Meets World" star Fishel told Maxim about an incident in the 1990s, when Saget allegedly accosted her family on a plane to Disneyworld. According to Fishel, the "Full House" actor allegedly asked her for cocaine.

"We were trying to take a nap, and all of a sudden, Bob Saget walks down the aisle, rips open our curtain, and shouts, 'Do you guys have any coke?!'" Fishel claimed. "Then he looks my dad in the eye, laughs, and closes the curtain."

Evidently, Saget wasn't too fond of Fishel's account. And to keep things consistent, he also took to Maxim to air his side of the story.

"What show was she on? 'Big Chest, Small Wonder?'" Saget said. "That's the real size of her, by the way. She's kind of like Bilbo Baggins, very tiny. So first off, I don't open curtains. That was a lie, because I just don't do it. I knock on things. Also, there weren't separate compartments on the plane."

He went on: "Anyway, the whole thing was as simple as me going to the bathroom and throwing out a

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the May 22 episde of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

When's the last time you've been personally victimized by a TV show? Was it May 22, during the Season 14 finale of "Law and Order: SVU"? That's what we thought. Well, you weren't alone.

In addition to "SVU's" official Twitter account, the likes of star Mariska Hargitay and Debra Messing joined in to witness one of the biggest cliffhangers of the series' history. Dean Winters (probably best known as Ryan O'Reilly from "Oz" or as Liz Lemon's ex-boyfriend Dennis on "30 Rock") returned to "SVU" to help the team identify a man arrested for exposing himself in Central Park. Unfortunately for all involved, the suspect (who burned off his fingertips! Is he trying to emulate the Men In Black?) managed to outwit the gang and eventually ended up in Detective Benson's apartment.

The last scene of the episode? He pulls a gun on her, and the screen cuts to black. "Executive Producer: Dick Wolf."

And now you can understand why Twitter went wild.

Of course, part of the mania stems from the news that Hargitay has yet to ink a deal to return to "Law and Order" for Season 15. However, according to the actress's tweets, this will hardly be the last anyone sees of everyone's favourite "SVU" detective (thank goodness):

Where's the faith

Make sure your valuables are safely locked away: History, A&E, and Lifetime are joining forces to bring the classic tale of bank-robbing lovebirds Bonnie & Clyde to the small screen in a brand-new miniseries, debuting later this year.

The iconic young outlaws will be played by Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild") and Holliday Grainger (Lucrezia on "The Borgias"), and they've already got the sexy-yet-dangerous vibe down pat, as you can see in these first-look photos released today. The three cable nets will simulcast the four-hour miniseries over two nights, hoping to replicate the recent success History has had with mega-hit miniseries like "Hatfields & McCoys" and "The Bible."
