Did Paige Miles get a raw deal?It's safe to say that former "American Idol" contestant Paige Miles had a tough run on the reality competition. The judges said that the 24-year-old had a strong lift-off early in the season, but pretty much crash-landed Tuesday night during a much-panned performance of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds." Randy: "That was honestly terrible."

What in the world is 'Hot Tub Time Machine?'Basic hot tub safety calls for these precautions: Thanks to John Cusack, you can add this tip: That’s the set up for Cusack’s new comedy, “Hot Tub Time Machine” in which he and co-stars Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke play a quartet of underachievers in life and love. After a night of copious drinking at a ski lodge, they test out the hotel hot tub only to have the aforementioned energy beverage spill into the pump. That triggers a hot tub spin cycle that propels them magically back to 1986. “This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures”, according to the overheated press notes for the film.

Roger Ebert's 'At the Movies' canceled
After more than 20 years on the air, the movie review TV show "At the Movies" has been canceled. The weekly, half-hour series made popular by critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel will air its last show on August 14. Distributor Disney-ABC Domestic TV said in a statement: "This was a very difficult decision, especially considering the program's rich history and iconic status within the entertainment industry, but from a business perspective it became clear this weekly, half-hour, broadcast syndication series was no longer sustainable. .. we extend very special thanks to the two brilliant, visionary and incomparable critics that started it all, Roger Ebert and the late Gene Siskel." Siskel passed away in February 1999. Ebert has cancer - it's been almost four years since he lost his lower jaw and, with it, his ability to speak. And "At the Movies" never seemed able to replicate the pair's chemistry on set, despite the talent of current hosts Michael Phillips and A. O. Scott.
