What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. All-Star Holiday Spirit (Mon, 9PM-10PM, Food Network) - The Food Network stars - including food nerd Alton Brown, freakish bird-woman Giada De Laurentiis, the hated Rachael Ray, Ina Garten, Tyler Florence, and obsessive lush Sandra Lee - prepare holiday party dishes.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Frank Darabont changed the ending of The Mist for the movie - and King approved. Not only is Guitar Hero III expected to single-handedly cause huge growth in the video game industry, it's also apparently causing growth in album sales for the artists whose songs appear in it. Heads up, amateur scribes and video game fans! BioWare is......

The Inquirer takes another look at the troubling recent increase, both locally and nationally, in the shooting of police. Mayor Nutter, in his first speech outside the city since the election, as the keynote speaker at the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry's annual dinner, got a standing ovation before and after, and urged Southeastern Pennsylvania to come together and work as one to achieve greatness. Police are still investigating gunshots fired shortly before......

They also did......

As it gets closer to Halloween for LAist, a contributer recollects her tale of staring down the serial killer, Richard Ramirez, otherwise known as the Night Stalker. Must think happy thoughts -- okay, free organic chocolate chip cookies for Los Angeles -- now that's a happy thought. Other happy Los Angeles thoughts include an interview with Jack Kehler of The Big Lebowski (he was the Dude's landlord), a beautiful and magical photographic moment in Venice......

LAist began the month with a new food series exploring the popular and unknown late night eats around town. If a Top Chef winner opened up a late night spot in Los Angeles, denizens would flock it, yet the LA Times and other media might be wary. Turning to sports, the Dodger season was quite memorable in the way that it imploded and the LA County Sheriff's Department made some games of their own......

For thirty-five minutes, I sat on a loveseat in the dressing room of Ciaran McFeely, who performs under the moniker Simple Kid, and simply shot the proverbial shit. With legs crossed and hair hanging in his face, he thoroughly answered any query that I spewed his way. Follow-up questions were unnecessary; everything was answered. When I originally agreed to interview Simple Kid, I knew nothing of the thirty-year-old Irish banjo strummer. Through my research, I......

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King, and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out......

You may have caught Walt Hunter’s report about sleeping Wackenhut security guards at the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant in York County on CBS 3 (KYW) on Tuesday. Well that report was based on a three month investigation by Scott Weinberger from CBS 2 (WCBS) in New York, which is the sister station for CBS 3 in New York. The thing is that Hunter’s piece, which used video and interviews conducted by Weinberger, didn’t mention......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. A fascinating look at the evolution of cereal mascot Sugar Bear. (Via) Jude Law says the script he's reading for his part in Repossession Mambo is "the most original and the coolest script I've ever read." He'll be co-starring in the "dark science-fiction thriller comedy" with Forest Whitaker. Sweet! This upcoming film parodying epic superhero flicks called Superhero sounds like a good idea......
