Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Ladyboys We Want Featured On RUPAUL’s DRAG RACE’s All-Star Season!

This Just In: Fox Renews BONES for an Eighth Season
Fans of BONES can breath easy.
At least according to Executive Producer Stephen Nathan — who in an all too obvious ploy to bump up his number of Twitter followers (Seriously, watch your back @harthanson), broke some pretty major news mere moments ago when he tweeted via his @squarechicken account, “#Bones will be back for season 8!! We’re back, baby!!!” [Read more…]

MISSING EP Gregory Poirier Teases Upcoming Twists and Big Reveals
The new ABC drama series MISSING follows a mother who finds out her son has been kidnapped while studying abroad.
