    • Whitney Duncan and Keith Tollefson"Survivor: SouthPacific" babe Whitney Duncan may have been secretly married during her time on the show, but she's not keeping quiet about her new engagement to fellow cast member Keith Tollefson!

      While she was filming "Survivor," the country singer was secretly married to Donny Fallgatter, frontman for the band KingBilly. Even their friends and family didn't know they had wed.

      But during her time in the South Pacific, Duncan began to fall for Tollefson. Both members of the Savaii tribe, they quickly paired off. Tollefson was the eighth person voted out, then Duncan followed as the 12th. Just before returning home, Duncan called Fallgatter to ask for a divorce.

      After the show, Duncan opened up about the short-lived marriage. "I was in an unhealthy and unhappy relationship, and I never would have thought I would have fallen in love on 'Survivor,'" she said.

      On Twitter, she recently noted:

      Warning: This post contains spoilers

      Last night, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) and Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) tied the knot on "Parks and Recreation." Their forfeit their planned wedding -- scheduled for three months later -- and opting instead to get married in the same city hall where they first met.

      Clearly, it was as beautiful as it sounds. And if you need any proof that Ben and Leslie's wedding trumps any wedding you've been to -- or are planning for yourself -- look no further than the following points. Tears expected.

    • The cast of "Big Brother Canada." (Slice)

      The time has come, "Big Brother" fans! Hosted by Arisa Cox, Canada's own version is premiering on Slice on Feb. 27, and will air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET, Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET (which will be the eviction episodes), and Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

      So, with less than a week to go, hype for the series has officially begun -- especially since "Big Brother Canada" house guests have just been announced. Here's who we can expect to see over the next few months:

      Jillian, Tom, and Peter. (Slice)

      - Jillian MacLaughlin, 27: a teacher from New Glasgow, N.S. She describes herself as "hyper, easygoing, and driven," and she hates when people mock her for being healthy. Arm yourselves, snack-eaters.

      - Thomas Plant, 24: a bartender and firefighter from Edmonton, Alta. He plans on winging his strategy, as well as hiding the fact that he's a firefighter. So apologies, Thomas, for writing about that now.

      - Peter Brown, 26: a web content curator from Surrey, B.C. His perfect day would be going to a "multimillion dollar theme park because it

    • Kristen Wiig. (Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic)

      "Arrested Development" is about to get a little more star-studded: in addition to news of Seth Rogan showing up, Kristen Wiig has also found herself intertwined with the Bluth family.

      Or more specifically, she'll be the head of the Bluth family.

      According to Vulture, Kristen Wiig will play a younger version of Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter), in what we can only assume will be some sort of flashback (unless "Arrested" goes the whole time travel route -- which we're totally fine with, by the way). The upcoming fourth season will see each character have their own episode, so whether Wiig will be part of Lucille's arc, George's (Jeffrey Tambor) episode, or as part of Gob's (Will Arnett), Lindsay's (Porta de Rossi), or Michael's (Jason Bateman) childhood memory still remains to be seen.

      Family Day is nearly upon us, so what better time to reflect on television's greatest households than a rundown of the greatest fictional TV families? Sure, Feb. 18 is (apparently) reserved for spending quality time with those you love best, but who says those people aren't also actors in syndicated series. This Family Day, you can have it all.

      From the families of yesteryear to the "Modern" families of today, here are our 10 favourite.

      1. The Bluths -- "Arrested Development"
      You'd be hard-pressed to find a more dysfunctional, outlandish, and negligent family in real life or on television -- but the Kardashians sure come close. Thankfully, the Bluths return to TV via Netflix this year, so we can begin a new chapter of counting Lucille's drinks, and how many pairs of cut-offs Tobias wears.

      2. The Crawleys -- "Downton Abbey"
      Where the Bluths are outlandishly dysfunctional, the Crawleys prefer a subtle, classier approach.

    • "Up All Night" (NBC)

      We've asked the question before and we'll ask it again: at what point do you pull the plug on a series?

      For NBC's "Up All Night," the time has (arguably) come. Now experiencing yet another re-vamp -- in addition to its switch from a single camera to three-camera set-up -- the sitcom seems cursed. A creator has left, a star has left, and yet the sitcom soldiers on; forcing its fanbase to watch as their beloved series morphs into a project Christina Applegate wants nothing to do with.

      Happening on what feels like an almost-weekly basis, the changes are hard to keep up with. Here's what's happened so far with "Up All Night" just to bring you up to speed:

      Premiering in fall 2011, the series -- created by Emily Spivey, former "SNL" writer -- revolved around Reagan (Christina Applegate) and Chris (Will Arnett) Brinkley, new parents to baby Amy, and their efforts to juggle both parenthood and their careers. Based on Spivey's experiences after

    • With his towering afro and (ahem) informal attire, teen contestant Leonard Cooper didn't look the part of a "Jeopardy!" champion. But he parlayed one big Daily Double gamble into a Teen Tournament win last night, topping it off with what has to be considered the best Final Jeopardy! answer of all time.*

      Leonard came into Final Jeopardy! with a total of $37,000 -- an impressive sum, though not enough to win outright. But that didn't stop Leonard from calling his shot. Faced with the clue, "On June 6, 1944, he said, 'The eyes of the world are upon you,'" Leonard wagered $0 and responded: "Who is some guy in Normandy, but I just won $75,000!"

    • Citytv

      "Seed," the Canadian-produced unorthodox family comedy, premiered on Citytv on Feb. 4, but it's not too late to begin watching.

      Starring Adam Korson ("Two Broke Girls"), "Seed" celebrates a new type of modern family: one that's formed at the, er, hands of a sperm donor -- and in this case, a sperm donor whose children attempt to include him in their existing familial set-ups. Sentimental? Absolutely. But unlike "The New Normal," viewers aren't hit over the head with a life lesson at the end of every episode. From the get-go, "Seed" treats its audience like adults; like they're in on the joke.

      So far, fans have watched as Harry (Korson), a man-child bartender, is confronted by his biological son, Billy (William Ainscough), whose moms enlisted Harry's "services" ten years earlier. Shortly afterwards, Harry meets 15-year-old Anastasia (Abby Ross), whose parents also "used" Harry to start their family. In the meantime, Harry gets to know Rose (Carrie-Lynn Neales), who -- spoiler alert -- is now pregnant with (you guessed it) Harry's third child.

      Sound complicated? Well, it kind of is, but not to the show's detriment.

    • Mark Balelo (Facebook)

      Mark Balelo, an auction house owner on “Storage Wars,” has died. He was 40.

      Sometimes referred to “Rico Suave” on the show because of his eye-catching outfits, Balelo was found dead Monday at his Simi Valley, California, business, reports the Ventura County Star.

      The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office did not give a cause of death for Balelo, saying an autopsy would be done on Tuesday. However, TMZ reports he was found dead in his car, which had been left running, and died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

      It may be almost four months past its original premiere date (October 19), but "Community's" fourth season is finally upon us. And while the absence of show runner and creator, Dan Harmon, was felt thanks to the episode's more obvious types of jokes (we get it -- Annie is uptight and Abed likes pop culture), the series still managed to hold on to enough of its charm to send fans to their happy place.

      So to maintain the momentum of the "Community" premiere, we've listed our favourite quotes from "History 101." And while they may not have been as quick as the lines written by Harmon, they still set up the season as one for character growth, story change, and the gang's inevitable graduation. Here's to a heartfelt fourth year.

      "Troy and Abed back from summer!"
      In the laugh track-based sitcom Abed uses to escape from reality, references to earlier episodes (like morning show theme songs) prevail, while the "character" of Pierce (Chevy Chase)
