'Community' Renewed For Season 4 On NBC

You can take off that "darkest timeline" goatee now -- NBC has renewed fan-favorite comedy "Community" for a 13-episode Season 4.

This news comes on the heels of a similar order for another of NBC's Thursday night comedies, "30 Rock," which was renewed for a seventh and final season of 13 episodes earlier today. "Parks and Recreation" is rumored to be getting that same order, but nothing has been officially announced yet.

So we got the season pickup -- pop, pop! -- but we won't know when these 13 episodes will air until NBC unveils its fall schedule at their Upfronts presentation next week. These shows could either air in the fall, as usual, or be held until midseason (January 2013) to give some new comedies a chance.

Comedy Central secured the off-network syndication rights for "Community" earlier this year, and these additional 13 episodes will only add to the revenue that deal will bring NBC and Sony.

"Community" recently lost their showrunners -- Garrett Donovan and Neil Goldman signed a deal with 20th Century Fox, so they'll no longer be executive producers on "Community" going foward -- but EP and creator Dan Harmon and EPs Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Gary Foster and Riss Krasnoff are all still on board.

What do you think "Community" fans? Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool news right?

'Vampire Diaries' Star Spills Finale Secrets

In the Season 3 finale of "The Vampire Diaries" (Thurs., May 10, 8 p.m. ET on The CW), Elena finally makes a choice -- but it might not be what you expect.

For the past three seasons, Stelena and Delena fans have been anxiously awaiting Elena's decision -- will she be with Stefan (Paul Wesley) or his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder). We've been teased countless time with steamy motel make outs and swoon-worthy slow dances, but what if Elena were to choose herself?

"If it was me, I would think that I would want to take a break from the whole vampire thing altogether," star Nina Dobrev told HuffPost TV at the unveiling of her new Got Milk? ad campaign in New York City. "That's what the whole finale episode is about. It's about showing Elena's progression, and showing her life now versus what it used to be and how normal she was. Her life is crazy now, and she really just wants to go back to her core. She wants to make things simple and stop running from vampires who try to save her life every five seconds."

However, Elena's choice may come with a very big cost. In true "Vampire Diaries" form, she might still need a bit of that saving in tonight's finale.

"She's going to fight to save her own life and try to save other people's lives, but in the end, people are constantly trying to save hers."

And while Dobrev says that she's excited for fans to see Aunt Jenna's (Sara Canning) return, she was personally thrilled to see Elijah (Daniel Gillies) return to Mystic Falls.

"He's back in a big way, and he's awesome," says Dobrev. "I love him."

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 3 finale airs Thursday, May 10 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Going into Sunday's Survivor finale, the game
might be afoot, but won't be a penis

Survivor One World now belongs to women, but really it belongs to an original tribe's alliance of four that was formed--with one subsequent substitution--in the first few minutes of the game. That's an incredible achievement, and we head into the finale ready to see how that group will splinter, now that it will be forced to split. That strategy and social game play is kind of interesting, but I'm not passionate about it, which sums... keep reading »

Howard Stern Returns To NBC For 'AGT,' Rips Leno
& His Competition

New "America's Got Talent" judge Howard Stern held court in an hour-long press conference at the New York Friars Club Thursday afternoon, answering an onslaught of questions about his impending return to the cultural mainstream (new season premieres Mon., May 14, 8 p.m. ET on NBC) after a six year stint behind a paywall at SiriusXM Radio.

Stern discussed coming back to work with NBC after the highly contentious chapter of his radio career that was dramatized in his biopic "Private Parts," then ripped on his competition in the reality talent show arena, explaining why he saw "AGT" as a perfect fit for his skills.

Stern On NBC ... Again
To hear Stern tell it, the days of overbearing NBC executives trying to reign him in are long gone. In fact, he insisted that now -- older, wiser and stepping into a family show -- he's doing much of reigning in himself. Stern stressed that NBC higher-ups had been impressively hands-off so far, offering him "little to no direction" while giving him the freedom to shake up the show.

"I never could trust NBC executives. Let's face it -- I had a run-in the first time in the '80s, and they used to say horrible things about me. I'm not even used to the fact that NBC executives are now, in 2012, saying nice things about me ... The entire NBC team has been nothing but wonderful."

"When Grant Tinker was in charge of NBC, he said he would never allow me to work at this network again," Stern said. "'Over my dead body' he said ... and now he's a dead body."

This time around, Stern has been pleasantly surprised with the degree of freedom he's been given by the network. "NBC has given me little to no direction, which is unbelievable to me. When I was on the set doing this from city to city, I was waiting for some sort of notes. You always hear about pushy network executives doing notes. And finally, about halfway through, I turned to one of the executives and I said, 'Why am I not getting these notes I've been hearing about?' And he said, 'You're Howard Stern -- what are we gonna tell you?' And that was a wonderful thing to me. Frankly, I think this bunch is insane. I think they're all gonna lose their jobs. But I think that was a vote of confidence that they liked what I had to say."

Stern On Leno
And even though those NBC executives may not have liked what Stern had to say when he went on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday night and threw a barrage of insults at his longtime nemesis -- and now-NBC colleague Jay Leno -- he faced no retribution for insulting NBC talent on NBC airwaves. Stern explained that he half-expected the bit to be edited out of his appearance, and was thrilled when it wasn't.

"No one has approached me on my feelings with Jay Leno. They know my feelings on Jay run deep. I was on Jimmy Fallon last night bad-mouthing Jay, and much to NBC's credit, after I finished, I said, 'Those executives are going to get a hold of Jimmy Fallon, and they're going to delete everything I said about Jay. And they did not delete a word. And I must say, I am very proud of them. By the way, Jay handed in his resignation two hours ago. I'm sure Jay was pissed, but I admire that Jay didn't have me killed, and I admire that NBC didn't have me killed, and that I think is great."

No Shocks Here
Despite the provocative appearance, Stern the shock-jock seems to have evolved into a more controlled, mature entertainer. He insists he won't be bringing the raunchy side of "The Howard Stern Show" with him to the more mainstream, family-friendly "AGT."

"'America's Got Talent' is a family show, and I have been disrespecting family values for years," he joked. "I respect what 'AGT' is. It's a family show. I've been watching it for years ... it's a different form of entertainment ... I know the rules ... I'm 58 years old!"

Stern bristled at the pre-emptive criticism he's received from The Parents Television Council, an advocacy group that pounced on the news of his "AGT" judging gig. "Look, those guys, as far as I'm concerned, there are a couple of absurdities about it. You can't complain about a show until you see it ... They're entitled to their opinion, they just sound awfully foolish when they haven't seen the show. And so I invite them to view the show Monday night to see what kind of judge I am, to see if I'm very subversive, or whatever it is they imagine I'm going to be ... This is a family show," he reiterated.

Stern On Ratings
Rather than boasting or putting forth a bold declaration about how much his presence would spike "AGT" ratings, Stern gave a modest answer when HuffPost TV asked about his goals and expectations for how many viewers would tune in.

"This is very unusual -- this is a hit show. This has something like, I don't know, 20 million viewers. So there might be people that don't watch, maybe I'll bring new people to the table, we don't know. It's an experiment. But look, if it doesn't work, I'll crawl back into my hole on Sirius Satellite Radio and I'll sit there and I'll lick my wounds. If it does work I'll be thrilled. I really hope this will be exciting and fun for people."

Stern On His Competition
Stern's combative side re-emerged when he was asked to critique TV's many other reality competition show judges, and the genre in general.

"I do think this kind of television risks going the way of the disco ball if the judges don't step up and offer real criticism ... that these types of shows will get too dull. So hopefully I'm going to add some energy to it."

He had harsh words for Britney Spears, who is rumored to have signed a $15 million mega-contract to join "The X Factor." "Britney still thinks the earth is flat. Listen, we're going to tune in to see her, if she can sort of function through the thing."

On gassy "Voice" judge Cee Lo Green, Stern had this to stay: "I feel bad for that cat that sits on his lap."

He stated that "American Idol's" Ryan Seacrest had lost his appeal. "Ryan Seacrest is kind of tired. It doesn't look like he relates to people. He's said he wants to be the next Dick Clark, but I've got news for him: Dick Clark's not here anymore."

Stern also ripped on "Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez for not providing enough substantive criticism. "I don't know what she's doing up there. If I sit there in a beautiful dress and just tell them they're wonderful, they're not going to get anywhere. We've got to be honest."

Stern On Loving "AGT"
Finally, Stern came back to the reason he decided to join "AGT": he's really just a fan of the show, and thinks he can help the contestants by giving them his honest opinions. "We have this variety show, and this suits me. Look at what I've been doing on the radio. I've made stars out of Ronnie the Limo Driver and Beetlejuice. And actually, I'm at the point in my life where I'd like to mentor people, and I mean this ... I've been in the business so long and I've lasted, and all of my critics said I wouldn't last. And the reason I lasted is that I worked hard, and thought every minute about my audience and how to entertain them. I think I really do have something to offer people. If you want to make it, I'm someone who made it. There's a reason for it. It's not by luck, it's through hard work."
