MTV has stepped into that web for the network's newest reality phenomenon, Catfish. But the series is not quite as simple as the show’s intro may have you believe. Airing its finale Monday night, the series revolves around Internet romances never realized IRL ("in real life" for all you n00bs out there), where one — or sometimes both — of the participants are not being honest about themselves.

Life is But a Dream is everything we wanted: a look at Beyoncé's daily life and her seeming fairy tale romance with Jay-Z. Yet when the credits rolled, there was an overwhelming sense that something had been left out. Now, we can't expect a 90-minute movie to reveal the answer to every question we've had about the singer, but we expect a level of candid exposure that the HBO doc fell slightly short of.

On Friday, the producer of a South African reality series featuring Reeva Steenkamp — Olympian Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend who was murdered on Thursday — would still air, despite the fact that the model's uncle said watching the episode would be "traumatic" for the family. "Reeva was an intelligent, beautiful, and amazing woman, and we feel it would be an injustice to keep that unknown from those who did not know her personally," Tropika...

Just kidding, it's about the Roman Catholic Church. Showtime confirmed via release that Chandler will be playing Cardinal Thomas Duffy ...

Sookeh, is that you? Anna Paquin may be known nowadays for rolling around in beds and graveyards with supernatural hotties, but she first rose to fame when she became the second youngest winner in Oscar history when she took home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress in the 1994 film The Piano. Plus, more small screen stars who reached big screen glory.

When production began on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 last week, director Marc Webb went photo crazy, sending mysterious shots from the set straight to the web and eager fans' imaginations into a tizzy. Now X-Men and Jack the Giant Slayer director Bryan Singer is jumping on board the Twitpic revelation train, tweeting out his own teaser photos for the upcoming comic book sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

This week, the Oscars.com released an inspired series of posters in which the famous Oscar statue gets some makeovers inspired by the 84 Best Picture winners in Academy history. While some of the renderings land in the territory of predictable, but still enjoyable (Forrest Gump, Braveheart, and Silence of the Lambs, pictured), others are downright delightfully inspired (Oscar's creepy haircut for No Country For Old Men...)

Although we'll always think of Harrison Ford when we think of Indiana Jones, Keanue Reeves when we picture Neo, and Michael J. Fox when we reminisce about the adventures of Marty McFly, it's funny to acknowledge that these parts came very close to landing other actors entirely.
