We've seen some pretty amazing episodes of "Fringe" - usually involving a twist ending of some kind. But Thursday night's episode stood head and shoulders above them all.

Picking up where we left of last week, Peter got a mysterious message on his phone from the real Olivia while he was in bed with "Bolivia" from the other world. After failing to recall  a phrase Olivia said to Peter last season, "Bolivia" pulled a gun on him: "I failed the test, didn't I?"

We've been witnessing the evolution of Peter's character, and this week, we heard vengeful Peter tell "Bolivia," "I'm going to get answers. And if I find out you did anything to Olivia, then I'm going to kill you."

Despite their 12 years and two children together, Johnny Depp says he has no intentions of marrying his French girlfriend Vanessa Paradis.

"I never found myself needing that piece of paper," 47-year-old Depp told TV's "Extra" of why he hasn't wed the mother of his kids, Lily-Rose, 11, and Jack, 8. "Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don't need somebody to say, 'OK, you're married.'"

That said, "The Tourist" star, who was wed to makeup artist Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1986, and was reportedly previously engaged to actresses Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder, as well as model Kate Moss, says he would walk down the aisle with Paradis, 37, if she asked him to put a ring on it.

"If Vanessa wanted to get hitched, why not," he says. "But the thing is, I'd be so scared of ruining her last name. She's got such a good last name."

We're not at all sure of the “how” or “why” this happened, but we're glad it did.

Actor Justin Long subbed in for Hota Kotb in the final hour of the “Today” show on Thursday ... and it was pretty entertaining. Long and the show’s co-host Kathie Lee Gifford covered such ground as Kotb’s thong (who according to Gifford had accompanied Kotb on a tropical vacation to celebrate a friend’s birthday), Long’s “junk” and some of his less than astute choices of movie roles.

Long even did a little impersonation of “Saturday Night Live” cast member Kristin Wiig impersonating Gifford. Words can't even express Long and Gifford's chemistry. Check it out here.

Apparently grieving fathers don't gain weight - actor Ryan Gosling says he was fired from the 2009 movie "The Lovely Bones" for getting too fat.

In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the 30-year-old star reveals that he prepped to play the role of Jack Salmon – whose teenage daughter Susie is brutally murdered – by packing on 60 pounds.

"I was melting Haagen Dazs and drinking it when I was thirsty," he says. The problem was, Gosling never told film director Peter Jackson of his plan.

Darren Aronofsky’s new psychological thriller, in theaters Friday, has generated a good amount of water cooler chitchat and Oscar buzz – especially considering the film is only opening in limited release.

CNN's Tom Charity described the flick - which stars Natalie Portman as dedicated dancer Nina, and Mila Kunis as rival ballerina Lilly - as “a dementedly lurid psychological horror movie in white tutus and leg warmers.”

He adds: “It's the kind of chick flick guys are going to love (yes, there's even a little girl-on-girl action). Never mind the quality, feel the heat.”

That recent speech that funnyman Steve Martin gave at the 92nd Street Y was no laughing matter – and that's exactly why the audience is getting their money back.

Guests who attended the November 29 event had expected to hear the comedy legend talk about his career, but they became irritated when the one-hour interview session - conducted by Martin's friend, New York Times Magazine columnist Deborah Solomon - remained focused on the art world, the subject of his new book, "An Object of Beauty."

Martin tells the New York Times that viewers who tuned in to the interview via closed-circuit TV began sending e-mails to the Y complaining “that the evening was not going the way they wished, meaning we were discussing art.” In fact, those in the venue reportedly cheered when Solomon was handed a note asking her to talk more about Martin's career.

The Farrelly Brothers' much-anticipated Three Stooges movie will finally begin shooting on March 14, but in a wacky twist, it looks like the film has now lost Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey for the respective roles of Moe, Larry and Curly.

Deadline.com reports that Penn and Carrey are no longer with the project and it remains unclear whether Del Toro is still on board.

"The script is ready to go, and we are opening up these roles to the world right now," says filmmaker Peter Farrelly. "We'll make it with the best possible people. Our feeling is that no star is too big to audition and no matter who it is, we're going to have to see him in the role. This is not 'The Flintstones.' You've got to be Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard, and that could be a major movie star or an unknown."

"It girl" rapper Nicki Minaj might have some unlikely competition from Anna Wintour: The Vogue editrix will spit a verse on Diddy's new CD, "Last Train to Paris."

But Wintour isn't the only fashionista getting in on the act. The album, set for release on December 14, also features the voices of designers Isaac Mizrahi, Marc Jacobs and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as Vogue editor and "America's Next Top Model" judge Andre Leon Talley.

"During Fashion Week last year, he sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record," Talley says of Diddy, whose CD was inspired by the music superstar's February 2010 fashion spread with supermodel Natalia Vodianova.

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” saw a major drop in ratings after its first episode aired, but we're guessing next Sunday's show may spark a bit more interest. A guest appearance by Kate Gosselin and her eight children can’t hurt, right?

The December 12 episode of Palin’s TLC reality show features the two famous families as they embark on an Alaskan camping trip and UsMagazine.com has a first look at the promo for the upcoming episode.

“She’s going to rely on me to protect her,” Palin says of Kate, who shares that she has “never camped for real.” The look of horror on Kate's face as she watches the former governor shoot a rifle gives her away.

“Our ruggedness is really a mystery to people in the lower 48,” Palin adds with a smile.

Count Kurtis Blow as someone else who may not be too happy with the new airport security policies.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to CNN that the legendary rapper was caught with marijuana at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday after a security screening.

“Kurtis Blow Walker was cited by Los Angeles Airport Police at approximately 5:45 a.m. December 2, 2010 at Terminal 7 while undergoing TSA security screening,” said a statement released by police. “Walker was cited for violation of California Health and Safety Code 11357 (b), misdemeanor possession of less than 28.5 grams of marijuana and released.”

Well, like his hit song from the 1980s says, “these are the breaks.”
