"Jeopardy!" got down and dirty Tuesday night with a steamy new category called the Sexiest Potpourri Ever.

"Potpourri" is a grab-bag category of miscellaneous answers. And for this provocative version, each clue was accompanied by sensual, jazzy music, and host Alex Trebek did his best Barry White impression, reading the answers in a low, come-hither voice.

The inevitable happened on the April 30 episode of "New Girl": Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) finally hooked up. Really hooked up. They did exactly what the episode, "Virgins" revolved around: it. They did it.

Yes, after months of deciphering their dialogue, championing their make outs, and screaming "kiss, kiss, kiss!" at the TV screen, fans were finally given a real payoff -- one showrunner Liz Merriweather describes as honest.

"We wanted it to feel honest and honestly, hot," she told Entertainment Weekly. "What's fun is doing a genuinely sexy romance in a sitcom. That doesn't always happen. The characters themselves are such idiots when it comes to each other that it's fun to figure out what new idiotic thing they will get up to."

Not that Merriweather sees either Nick or Jess as idiots -- just two confused people.

"We were worried that [the hookup] would come too soon," she continued. "But we felt like, in reality, these characters would probably take that step. They've been back and forth and called it off, and basically they're totally confused about how they feel about each other. We felt like they would realistically find themselves in that situation."

However, their most

Nicole Eggert on "Splash" on ABC.Nicole Eggert is like a real-life Lifetime heroine. She is hot -- she credits diet and rising above the "bulls---" misconceptions about weight loss. She's strong -- she got back on the "Splash" diving board despite an injury. And she is strongly opinionated about her hot male co-stars -- including former real-life flame, Scott Baio of "Charles in Charge."

Don't worry. She says he's a good ex, not the psycho kind you see in Lifetime movies.

But first about that "Splash" injury…

Is a back flop as painful as it sounds?

It was way more painful than it looks but not as crazy as everybody makes it sound. There are different factors. When people finally see it happen, I'm sure it won't look that bad. But if you understand the degree of how high I was, you have more comprehension of the damage I did. And then there's the whole thing of -- it could have been so much worse. It wasn't a bad flop. I did land my dive. My legs just weren't as strong as they could

The Bluth family may be known for their extravagant lifestyle, but the "Arrested Development" stars have never been known to own an ostrich. Which is why it was a surprise to see one of the African birds at the premiere of the show's fourth season.

The long-necked feathered friend was the surprise guest on Monday's red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre in L.A., along with "Arrested" stars Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Portia de Rossi, Michael Cera, David Cross, Will Arnett, Alia Shawkat and Jessica Walter ahead of the May 26 Netflix premiere of "Arrested Development's" fourth season.

Could "American Idol's" reign soon be over? As the current season's progressed, the hit Fox series' ratings have faltered, and the April 25 episode was an indicator of both "Idol's" funk, and a new era television: clocking in with a 3.3 rating, the reality competition show was beat out by none other than "Duck Dynasty." The A&E show's season finale raked in 9.6 million viewers, and a 4.3 rating in the U.S. Goodness gracious! What would Simon Cowell say?

Since "American Idol's" premiere in 2002, the way TV is consumed has changed dramatically. Prior to Internet-allowed convenience watching, "American Idol" became an event, following hot on the heels of "Survivor" (2000) and "Fear Factor" (2001), which were also hot commodities in a previously reality TV-free world. A decade later, and the reality TV competition circuit is now at supersaturation. And instead of watching real people fight for money with militant-like strategy, shows like "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," "Toddlers & Tiaras," and now "Duck Dynasty" quench the reality craving, but work to examine "real" life as well.

"Duck Dynasty," arguably, is about as "real" as it gets. Revolving around four members of the Robertson family (Willie, Jase, Phil, and Si) and their now-successful Louisana-based duck call enterprise, the show invites viewers to watch the clan make sense of their newfound riches while also holding onto their familial priorities. Between, audiences are graced with comedy (from the

Since its premiere on April 3, "How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)" has been seeing a steady ratings decline. Despite premiering strong (2.9/7 rating, with 8.36 million viewers), the show's April 24 episode saw a 1.4 rating, and only 4.81 million viewers. What gives?

The Claudia Lonow-created series (starring Canadians Sarah Chalke and Jon Dore, plus Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garret) perfectly captures the awkwardness of single mother Polly (Chalke) living with her parents. We get to see the family moments they're forced to share as a result of that (see: mom Elizabeth Perkins catching a man in
