If the acting thing ever falls to the wayside, maybe Angelina Jolie will reconsider a former goal: Becoming a funeral director.

The 36-year-old Oscar winner told CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday that she had a plan in place if she couldn't find her way in Hollywood.

"It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with the funeral," she said in the interview. "This whole idea of how somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn't work out, that was going to be my path."

This year's Soul Train Awards, taped in Atlanta on November 17, didn't hold back with their tribute to late rapper Heavy D, who died on November 8 at the age of 44.

The ceremony, which aired on BET Sunday, showed a boisterous tribute that included the likes of Naughty by Nature, Doug E. Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Big Daddy Kane, and Goodie Mob. (Watch the clip at RapRadar.com.)

After rocking the crowd with a medley of Heavy D's greatest, the performers chanted along with the crowd, "We got nothin' but love for you, Heavy." The awards show also played a retrospective of Heav's own Soul Train win in 1991, when he was part of Heavy D & the Boyz.

E!'s Kardashian reality franchise kept chugging on Sunday with the season premiere of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York." Of course, there's been a major change: One of the central couples - Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries - split up before the show could make it to air.

To remedy that, the premiere kicked off with an acknowledgement that Kim and Kris' marriage lasted for all of 72 days with a montage of the media's coverage, People reports.

The show then flashed back to eight weeks prior, when newlyweds Kris and Kim, who had never lived together before, moved into the Gansevoort with Kourtney, her sometimes-boyfriend Scott Disick and the couple's baby, Mason. It was only downhill from there.

Rapper T.I. talks politics in the December/January issue of Vibe magazine, sharing his views on everything from the death of Osama bin Laden - "if that really happened," he says - to his thoughts on free speech and sexuality.

The 31-year-old artist tells Vibe that he "supports anyone's sexual preference," the magazine says, but adds that he sees a trend of oversensitivity running through the gay community.

"I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy [perhaps Morgan, although it's not made clear] say during a stand-up was, 'C'mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a d-– you can take a joke.' That s-- was funny to me. And it's kinda true," T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., says in the interview.

Sunday's "Walking Dead" was the last episode until February, and it left us with a final scene that we'll be talking about until then.

Before getting to that, though, I have to say that the immediate repercussions of Rick learning the truth about Lori and Shane didn't really amount to much.

I'm sure that it will have an effect eventually (after all, Lori is pregnant, something Rick mentioned to practically everyone at the most opportune times), but it was a bit surprising.
