Looking for something to watch tonight? There are several tv shows that should be really good.

Eleventh Hour- 10 pm Stem cells are disappearing and they believe cloning in a BIG way is going to happen. Will they discover who and what before the when? Last week they found a double heart. Wow.

CSI-  Its a CSI meant for them to do take out. Okay not really but they’ll find a dead body and have to search a fast food restaurant for clues. Ewwww. I got to admit they sure know how to keep you tuned in.

Grey’s Anatomy- 9 p.m. ET on ABC Derek almost proposed to Meredith and now we catch up on the call from Addison. So will he get to finish that proposal?

Private Practice-

My Name is Earl- Crabman is still in the witness protection plan and things are still going crazy. Tune in to see what happens.

But lets not stop there, lets go into the movie side of the house. You’ll find Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at 7 p.m. central time, The Thomas Crown Afffair at 7 and beginning at 6:30 you can catch The Princess Diaries or Why Do fools Fall In Love. Sounds like they are gearing up for Valentine’s day to me.

Rachel Ray has announced that she is looking for a few good cooks. For those that think they can cook, enter the “Hey, Can You Cook?!” challenge and see if you’ve got what it takes to beat everyone. The winner will appear on the Rachel Ray show.

The show will air the various challenges, with the top cooks moving on to the next round and one cook eliminated each week. At the end of the competition, only one cook will be left standing and crowned the “Hey, Can You Cook?! 4″ champ.

For more information on how to apply please go to www.rachaelrayshow.com. All audition tapes must be received by March 23rd, 2009.

Do you think you can beat everyone? Will you be entering?

Starz Entertainment has listed their special for the weekend and it looks like one you can defintely grab your loved one and cuddle up with. What do you think? Let me know if you watch any of them.

I’m in no way saying whether or not the ladies on Desperate Housewives can do it, in fact I think at least one of them can but to place all . The drill sergeant alone is funny but watching Gabby try to do crunches was even funnier. Course Gabby can’t take the whole military thing and tries to tell the drill sgt that he is doing too much on them. He gets in her face though and yells at her to do it until she drops back down to do it. Man this looks like one I won’t want to miss. How many of you will make sure you see it?

Many are upset that Melissa George will be leaving Grey’s Anatomy, but she’s coming out to say it was her choice and decision to go.  I’m guessing many thought this wasn’t her decision and were writing to the show in order for her to come out and state this. For those that don’t know Melissa played Sadie.

Here’s what she told People:

“I’ve made some beautiful friends. I love T.R. Knight. I love Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers … I adore Ellen Pompeo. I think she’s a strong, incredible woman. And Katherine Heigl is the most beautiful creature on Earth.”

"It won’t be a big send off, but it’s really cool what they do.”

You can read more about this at Grey’s Anatomy and find out more info on the cast and show. Now I’m curious how she’ll leave.

Here’s a few of Blake Lively in her blue number, some believe it was too tight but it looks like it was made to fit right on her body. A few of these shots make it looks like she would never be able to walk in that number but at least no seams seem to be popping undone. I think it looks great for her age, many people forget that she’s younger.

Oops you can say this was a big let down for Golden Globe nominee, Anne Hathaway. On the Golden Globes 2009 site they accidentally listed Anne Hathaway as a winner before the awards were given out. What’s worse was Anne didn’t win, it was Kate Winslet that got the award. Oops, maybe next time Anne. But she sure looked gorgeous.

I know there are a lot of Late-Night viewers out there that probably LOVE the David Letterman show, so I’m going to try something new and post who will be guest starring on the show during the week. This way you’ll know when you’ll want to tune in and when you can fall asleep.

Wednesday, January 14th- Tonight will be the Randy Rogers Band, for those that don’t know this is a Country musician. The other guest star will be Clint Eastwood for Gran Torino.

For Clint this has been one marvelous month, his newest movie "Gran Torino" hit $29M and it is only in its 5th week at the theaters. Guess he won’t be having to clean out any gutters anytime soon. More amazing is that it has now passed some other very popular movies like Marley & Me, Unborn and Bride Wars. Now lets see if it’ll beat them in total. So of course I’m sure he’ll be talking about his movie success. While Bruce may have beat him at the Globes, he’s walking away with a ton of money and a really awesome car, even if it was just a movie prop.

Thursday-  Kyra Sedgwick from Closer and Book author, Gwen Ifill for "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. Things should get interesting here.

Friday- Zach Braff from Scrubs and Arj Barker (comedian) I think its for promotion of The Airborne Toxic Event CD.

Just so I know you won’t miss a beat, I wanted to link you to all those that are talking about the Golden Globes here at 451press. This way you get the scoop from the fans of the shows and actor/actresses and you’ll feel like you are up on the gossip and the goods.

Watching House has pictures of the outfits worn by the members of the cast and of course fashion tips from the ladies. There’s even pics of the main course and I must say it did look interesting. My favorite would be the winners and losers in the outfits the members picked out for the awards. Eeeek.

Everyone of course is mentioning the winners by category and Watching New Celebs is doing it too, course this one is a bit about all those new ones that you’ll be wanting to watch for the next few years. But in case you missed those Critics Choice award winners here is the post with pictures.

Any Pitt/Jolie fans out there? If there are then you’ll want to read all about them over at Angelina Jolie Watch, there’s posts about the incident that happened at the Golden Globes in 2006, then pics of them at the Golden Globes 2009 and a bit of info on how long they stayed at the after party. Course I’m still wondering if they left early because Brad was called an Ugly dog by one of the drunk party goers.

Watching Heroes has some videos of the event and even shows Hayden Panettiere presenting the awards. Course I’d rather see more pics of her and Milo together.

Reality TV will walk you through the Golden Globe time and talk about the blunders that happened and those that you just wish happened but didn’t. I don’t see anything about Miley Cyrus stating her husband was there and I’m not meaning Justin, but Leonardo DiCaprio.

Finally there are pictures of Melina Kanakaredes at the Golden Globe style lounge picking up her goodies. Man it would be so nice to get invited to the lounge and pick up some of that stuff, I hear there is a lot of fun things in there.

Oh now here was my favorite, course once again it wasn’t any of my favorites. But I am glad to see 30 Rock pick up an award, but shocked The Office didn’t get it. Course I’m a Law drama type of viewer so I would’ve liked to see Closer or L&O pick up a few instead of just the honor of being listed. What were your picks?

Did you catch the award show? Have any favorite moments or want to see some pictures of a certain person? Let me know and I’ll see if I can’t scrounge them up for ya.

The show "How I Met Your Mother" has become so popular that even while others are falling at the side of the station this one just keeps on trucking. So much in fact that they went from paying their cast $120,000 an episode, this is up from $90,000 that they were being paid.

I guess having all those celebrities on has helped the show, not to mention it is just something that you are constantly wanting to know what happens with who. But due to them making so much money they’ve decided to add another year to the seven year contracts. So gear up this is going to be a show that is on for a while.
