The rumor-plagued actress has kept working despite, and it's slowly paying off. Also today: bad news for Dionne fans, good news for Big C fans, and the strange popularity of Grey's Anatomy.

We were worried about her there for a moment, but it looks like Velma Kelly is going to be A-OK, hoofing it once more in a big showy musical. Also today: bad news for Kathleen Turner, good news for some random child, and the best news for Gabourey Sidibe.

Last night The Big C aired it's season finale and once again we were left misty and confused. Have the producers possibly killed off the series star already? We've got our theories, now you be the judge.

Last night's season finales of The Big C and Weeds demonstrated what HBO's oft-wayward younger brother does best. They make compelling, if ridiculous, drama about middle class women in precarious tight spots.

This weeks Big C was a lot to handle. Cathy, her dreamboat doctor and her crotchety old neighbor all decided to go for it in their own terrible ways. Plus we got a Liam Neeson cameo to boot.

Last night's Big C was action-packed. Cathy chose life again, the neighbor admitted to having Alzheimer's and the ladies brunched at the local strip club. The clear highlight though, was Cynthia Nixon's epic freak-out on Cathy's dirty hippie brother.

This week on The Big C, everything came to a head. The janitor was gone, Cathy's students revolted, and she even caught a bitch slap from her crotchedy neighbor. Luckily for Cathy, though, there's forgiveness within the confines of church.

Last night's episode of The Big C saw Cathy once again trying to tie up some loose ends, family wise. This time taking a trip out to see her dad, who unsurprisingly, fits right in as another miserable old coot.

On last night's episode of The Big C, Cathy found another lump growing on her body, or should we say the handsome custodian did. Another lump was another reminder that time is running out. Will she ever tell her secret?

Last night on The Big C, sex was in the air and everyone was affected. Some relationship dynamics were altered, some new connections were kindled and as always, awkwardness ensued.

Coping with any life threatening disease is a tall task. Sometimes life's simpler pleasures are what we need to keep moving forward. Who knew Marlene wasn't such an ass after all? The tin woodsman had a heart all along.

In order to seem edgy, nearly every new TV comedy infuses itself with a sense of zaniness. Watching Weeds and The Big C last night, we saw one show do wacky right, and one do it horrendously wrong.

Today at Gawker.TV, Michael Cera talks about almost dying, Shaq gets dusted by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. while racing, a woman freaks out when a waitress flirts with her boyfriend, The Big C, previewed, and why Louie is better than Seinfeld.

We were lucky to get an advance copy of Showtime's The Big C and we're happy to report that Showtime continues to ride its hot streak of great shows with its newest, as it offers up big-time laughs and performances.

Watching last night's ridiculously overstuffed, hamhanded True Blood, it became suddenly apparent: There is basically no good TV on this summer. And there are very few upcoming promising prospects.

Somehow Simon Rich does the impossible. Truly remarkable. Also today: a new role for Cynthia Nixon, a new theater role for Hugh Jackman, Daniel Radcliffe is a German, Apes finds its Fay Wray, and the Oscars might be changing forever.

Summer's here! Are you fretting that there's nothing on television? Well, stop living in the past! We don't live in a school-year-dictated world anymore. Here are some shows you should consider watching to help pass the hot months, safely indoors.

Showtime's latest venture is a series about a woman diagnosed with cancer looking to make everything count. Featuring a powerful performance by Laura Linney, the show will undoubtedly be a hit.

Here's a trailer for Showtime's upcoming cancer comedy (that's a thing!) The Big C, which features Laura Linney doing her fun tight-wound/manic thing and Precious star Gabourey Sidibe speaking in her natural, chipper voice but still being a tough cookie.
