Kenny Powers is back! HBO has just released the trailer for “Eastbound & Down” Season 3, and I cannot friggin wait!

Kenny is back in the US and playing for semi-pro Myrtle Beach Mermen.

Watch the preview above!

“Game of Thrones” isn’t coming back to HBO until April, but today we’ve got your first real look at the show’s second season!

The ones we love (like Peter Dinklage as “Tyrion”) and those we love to hate (we’re looking at you, Joffrey) are all back in the action-packed trailer — which gives a pretty exciting look at what’s to come.

Death threats, a stronger-than-ever Daenerys and the words “a very small man can cast a very large shadow” all have us excited for Season 2. How about you?

The show returns April 1 on HBO.

HBO has just announced they’ve renewed the Laura Dern series “Enlightened” for a second season, but gave three other shows the boot.

They are ditching ‘Hung’, ‘Bored to Death’, and ‘How to Make it in America’.

“Hung” (starring Thomas Jane) and “Bored” (with Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis) ran for three seasons apiece, while “America” had two.

Last week, Dern earned a Golden Globe nomination for Lead Actress in a Comedy for her work on “Enlightened.”

I’ve been telling everyone who will listen that ‘Enlightened’ is AMAZING. Really a great, great show. I really liked ‘Bored to Death’ and ‘HTMIIA’, but I can see why HBO canceled them. They weren’t awesome…. but they weren’t terrible either. Plus – Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis in a show together? Yes please!

PS: Poor Brian Greenberg….that kid can’t catch a break!

But I’m glad ‘Enlightened’ is coming back. You guys need to check it out OnDemand if you can. It’s great!

Okay, you know how I know when something is going to suck – and when something’s going to be uhmazing? (Just say yes!)

I can tell by watching this that I’m gonna LOVE IT – and that means if you’re like me – you will too. Plus – I’m all about HBO. You put an HBO stamp on it – and chances are I’m gonna watch it.

PS: It’s produced by Judd Apatow. Genius.

This is the BEST news! I’m obsessed with ‘Boardwalk Empire’. Absolutely OBSESSED! The Hollywood Reporter revealed this afternoon that HBO has decided to renew the hit show for a third season.

The period drama starring Steve Buscemi opened its second season to 2.9 million viewers last month, and has been a critical darling for the network, picking up eight Emmys, including outstanding directing for a drama for Martin Scorsese.

From Terence Winter and Scorsese, the Prohibition drama revolves around Buscemi’s scheming Nucky Thompson as he rules over Atlantic City, battling fellow mobsters and other dirty politicians looking for a piece of the illegal alcohol business.

“Following a triumphant first season, I was eager to see what Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese and the rest of their stellar team had in store, and they continue to surpass our highest expectations,” HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said Wednesday in announcing the news. “The response from the media and our viewers has been extremely gratifying.”

The series also picked up a pair of Golden Globes for best drama and best actor for Buscemi, as well as SAG honors for its ensemble cast and for Buscemi.

Yay!

For those of you who watch the MTV reality shows (like moi) you know exactly who Johnny Bananas is. If you watch ‘Entourage’ as well, you’d know that Johnny Drama voiced a character on a show they called ‘Johnny’s Bananas’. Coincidence? Well, apparently back in August Johnny asked HBO not to use his nickname on ‘Entourage’, but his requests went unanswered. So Johnny is suing, claiming “tremendous emotional distress”. Oh please.

Johnny Bananas wasn’t monkeying around after all … because the MTV reality star has made good on his threats to sue the people behind “Entourage” for allegedly stealing his nickname to fuel a storyline.

TMZ broke the story … former “Real World” star Johnny Devenanzio had fired off a cease and desist letter to HBO back in August, claiming producers blatantly tried to “capitalize on the name recognition which I’m solely responsible for creating.”

Apparently, HBO neither ceased nor desisted … because Johnny D. filed a lawsuit in NY against HBO, Time Warner, and “Entourage” creator Doug Ellin.

In case you gave up on “Entourage” … Johnny Drama agreed to be the voice of an animated TV show called “Johnny’s Bananas” … in which the characters are all apes, gorillas, and other primates … it was sorta funny.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnny claims he “has undergone tremendous emotional distress that has been intentionally inflicted upon plaintiff by defendants’ unwarranted, unauthorized, and unjustified use of plaintiff’s name and characterization in an offensive and disparaging manner in named ‘Entourage’.”

What do you think? Is his lawsuit warranted?

I cannot wait!
