It's Hollywood Week on American Idol!

On Wednesday's episode, more than 300 singers arrived in Los Angeles, hoping to keep their dream alive. Each contestant performed an a cappella song of their choice in front of judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson, who offered very little feedback other than telling them whether or not they're still in the competition. Many of the standouts from auditions are still in the game but others, including Jim Carrey's daughter Jane, were sent home.

Carrey performed "Lookin' Out My Backdoor" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. "I freaked out when I was there so I was really, really shaky. I know I can do way better than that and so I'm really disappointed in myself," she said before calling her father to break the bad news. "I talked to my dad and he was really comforting and he said, 'I've been said no to a bunch of times,' and it worked out well for him in the end so hopefully I have a shot."

Sue Sylvester may have met her match!

The newest face at Glee's McKinley High is none other than Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes, who guest starred on Tuesday night's episode as synchronized-swimming coach Roz Washington.

Leakes – whose real-life ego has been an issue for some of her Real Housewives costars – went all out for the role, clawing her way through hilarious lines like, "I am an Olympian. I won this bronze damn Olympic medal in Beijing, China. I had noodles with the president, and a threesome with Michael Phelps."

Who are these blond women and what have they done with Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi?

The Real Housewives of Orange County returned to Bravo Tuesday with the most unexpected of twists: Tamra and Gretchen kiss and make up. Okay, that's a joke – they don't kiss.

"We're trying to bury the hatchet," Gretchen tells her boyfriend Slade, who's totally against any form of reconciliation between the two women, whose hateful feud has fueled the series' recent seasons. "I just want to try and get all the negativity out of my life."

"Things with Gretchen have gotten so bad that it's basically me talking about her, her talking about me and just investing this time to dig up crap on each other's lives and for what?" Tamra explains, as the pair head out to make peace over mojitos, shrimp cocktail and meatballs.

Oh, do I have a lot to say about this week's episode of The Biggest Loser, and I'm sure you do as well, judging from all your comments last week (and yes, I do read them). It's clear from what you've all been saying that there are lots of different perspectives here and some strong opinions.

Sitting in the weigh-in and feeling the tension between Adrian and the rest of the red team was not easy. Each week, I try to be the facilitator of conversation and to keep everything moving along. I struggle with when to interject and when to let situations play out. Some are very easy – giving Chism his moment when he lost 13 lbs. and led the black team to victory this week. Others, like the elimination room for this season with the red team, are not so easy.

Walking out of the weigh-in, I knew it was likely that Adrian would not be on campus for another week. Mark's conflict with him about his weight loss in his first week was looming, as was the team's inability or unwillingness (depending on which team member) to gel with him.

In the end, Adrian did get eliminated, but I know that he has the determination to prove the red team wrong and to fight for the at-home prize. While his time on campus was limited, the end of the episode, when we saw all he's accomplished, makes me believe he's a real contender.

"There's magic out there." And snakes and bloodthirsty monsters and a tree decorated with creepy dolls.

When Dr. Emmet Cole, a celebrity naturalist with a hit show called The Undiscovered Country, goes missing in the Amazon, his wife Tess (Leslie Hope) and son Lincoln (Joe Anderson) head to Brazil with a reality TV crew in tow to search for him.

That's the basic premise of ABC's new horror series The River, which debuted Tuesday. What the Coles find is the doctor's abandoned river barge, the Magus, with a strange being locked inside its panic room and stacks of video tapes with footage suggesting supernatural forces at work. Once they get the boat up and running again, with the help of Cole's mechanic Emilio (Daniel Zacapa) and his perceptive daughter Jahel, they push on determined to find Cole alive.
