[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for A Million Little Things Season 4, Episode 16 “Lesson Learned.”] By the end of the latest A Million Little Things episode, we’re left with two question: Has a murder been committed, and if so, did Anna (Erin Karpluk) do it? Gary (James Roday Rodriguez), Maggie (Allison Miller), Eddie (David Giuntoli), and Anna’s double date comes to an abrupt end when Peter Benoit (Andrew Leeds), the music teacher who assaulted Sophie Dixon (Lizzy Greene), shows up at the restaurant. “How could you, after everything I told you?” Anna asks Carly (Robyn Ross), his date. But Peter told her that stuff wasn’t true, plus the podcast was taken down, Carly argues. “How many girls were just making it up?” Anna asks her ex-husband when he joins them. Then she finds out they’re there to watch one of his students play, and she can’t believe he’s still teaching. Gary,...

In 2011, Ashley Spivey competed on Brad Womack's season of The Bachelor. And while the blonde beauty did not walk away with the final rose — she did capture the attention of host Chris Harrison. After reddit users asked whether Chris had ever slept with anyone from the reality show, Ashley dropped the throwback dating bombshell. "I went on a date with him," she wrote on the community forum. "Ashley [Hebert] and[ Jp Rosenbaum] kinda set us up. We were supposed to go on a double date to Babbo but they pulled out super last minute. I got nervous and invited Robyn Ross (formerly of TV Guide who knew him pretty well) and Graham Bunn who I love so much. But it was super obvious during the date that he wanted it to be a 1-on-1." (Photo Credit: Getty Images) She went on to describe Chris as a "total gentleman" who paid for the whole meal.

Further proof that Kelly Clarkson is all of us? She can’t keep her composure when it comes to Meryl Streep.

The original American Idol winner was wrapping up her interview with Ryan Seacrest at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards — her first time at the show — when she spotted Streep on the red carpet as the host helped her down the stairs.

“Oh my God!” the singer screamed as she turned around, causing Seacrest to momentarily think she tripped before she added, “That’s Meryl!”

Seacrest made a quick introduction before Clarkson asked, “Can I meet you?! I’ve adored you...

The final four pairs are facing off on Night 1 of Dancing with the Stars' Season 19 finale. And, as we did last season, we're bringing you a TVGuide.com group-effort recap.

Let's get to it!

As previously reported, TV Guide dished out their latest Mega Buzz, spoiler chat session, and revealed new "Originals" season 2 spoiler intel in regards to Klaus' mother Esther. It turns out that she is going to make her presence known pretty early on and there's going to be some intense complications as a result. In their spoiler chat report, here's what they had to say: " executive producer Michael Narducci muses when my colleague Robyn Ross asked him the same thing. Regardless, Esther and whoever was with her will make their names known soon. "If you think about the kind of stories that Julie Plec tells ... based on that you have a sense of how quickly we'll play it out, who's returned, what their agenda is and we'll start to see some pretty intense complications before too long." Season 2 is due to premiere on Monday night, October 6th at 7pm central time on The CW.

As previously reported, TV Guide delivered their new Mega Buzz, spoiler chat session, and served up some new teaser spoilerage for the upcoming "Revenge" season 4. It turns out that we'll undoubtedly see Victoria try to get some hardcore revenge on Emily for having her thrown into that psych ward, and new regular, David Clarke, will end up, getting in the middle of these sparring beauties. In their spoiler chat report, here's what they had to say: "David won't be Victoria's first concern. That honor belongs to Emily, since she put Victoria in the psych ward. "Victoria takes stock in the horrible things that Emily has done and the chaos she has rained down on the Grayson family," executive producer Aaron Harberts told my colleague Robyn Ross. "She's going to be pissed and she'll come out swinging. As Emily is trying to create a new, more positive life for herself... Victoria...

Forget Emily, how will Victoria handle David's return on Revenge? — Micah

David won't be Victoria's first concern. That honor belongs to Emily, since she put Victoria in the psych ward. "[Victoria] takes stock in the horrible things that Emily has done and the chaos she has rained down on the Grayson family," executive producer Aaron Harberts told my colleague Robyn Ross. "She's going to be pissed and she'll come out swinging. As Emily is trying to create a new, more positive life for herself... Victoria is going to be coming up behind her." But David will eventually be caught in the middle of that battle. "He's going to cause a lot of problems because he's at a point where these two women's lives intersect," Harberts says.

It's finally here! The conclusion of Season 18 of Dancing with the Stars is upon us, and while the winner won't be crowned until Tuesday night, the finale will air over two nights, stretched out as much as a Meryl Davis split.

And we at TVGuide.com have a treat for you, dear readers — it's a group number! We're taking a team approach for this finale recap, so former recapper Joyce Eng and recent DWTS superfan Robyn Ross will be helping me out.

Tonight, each of the final four pairs will perform two numbers: First, a judges' pick (a repeat of the switch-up week dance), and the second a freestyle.

Nashville divas Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) & Rayna James (Connie Britton)

Who doesn’t love a good soap? And there are plenty of them on the air now like the uber-popular Downton Abbey, ABC’s revitalized Revenge and even shows like Homeland have serialized elements that hook us.

And then there’s Nashville, a soap set in the exciting and already over the top world of country music. There are the successful country divas like stoic veteran Rayna James (Connie Britton) and bratty superstar Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the up-and-comers like songwriter Gunnar (Sam Palladio), singer Scarlett (Clare Bowen) and guitarist Avery (Jonathan Jackson, whose soap pedigree goes back to General Hospital) and late last season the series added Will Lexington (Chris Carmack), a closeted country heartthrob.

Will doesn’t believe a gay man can also be a country music superstar, and he might just be right on that score. Despite...

It turns out that Elena is going to be the first one to hone in on the fact that something isn't quite right with Stefan when evil Silas tries to take his place, because she has such a deep history and connection with the real Stefan. In their spoiler reveal, they explained: "I guess it's a good thing that my colleague Robyn Ross was on set this week to ask Nina Dobrev that question! She says that Elena's connection to Stefan will clue her in to the fact that something is not right with him (aka he's drowning at the bottom of the river.) "She has...

Considering the show...

The girls of Pretty Little Liars have suffered loss, heartbreak and betrayal throughout the three seasons of the ABC Family show, but one thing that has remained constant is the love between Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding). While some may say the student-teacher relationship is inappropriate, others believe the pairing is the core relationship of the show. Check out the arguments for and against "Team Ezria" from editors Sadie Gennis and Robyn Ross below.

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev & Paul Wesley of The Vampire Diaries

We’re four years into vampires, werewolves, witches and hybrids making life very interesting for the residents of Mystic Falls on The Vampire Diaries. While the show is still undeniably strong, it does seem to be going through some growing pains both on the good side (Steven R McQueen regularly in wife beaters) and not-so-good side (Elena is sired to Damon? Wtf?). We gathered a group of top TV Critics together to chat up the show.

For this Roundtable, we have Robyn Ross (Staff Editor, TVGuide.com), Matt Richenthal (Editor-in-Chief, TVFanatic.com) Brian Gianelli (Senior TV Editor, XFinityTV), Louis Peitzman (Associate Editor, Buzzfeed.com) and our own Jim Halterman.

After the years of build-up, is the Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) pairing delivering?

New Vampire Diaries season 4 Caroline,Tyler conflict spoilers revealed,new clip. Recently, TV Guide dropped this new clip (below) for the Vampire Diaries bite session. It featured host Robyn Ross, discussing the future of Caroline and Tyler's relationship,and it didn't sound so hot as she basically revealed that Caroline will start to get conflicted with Tyler over Klaus ,and won't be happy with what or whom Tyler is willing to sacrifice to take out Klaus. They also featured a source from the Vampire Diaries set to discuss the issue. Check it out,below. In related news, it looks like Tyler will also butt major heads with Stefan over this whole Klaus takedown issue,so that should be very interesting. Then Elena and Damon will continue their wild sired/love steamy relationship, while Stefan gets left out in the cold to take his own journey to wherever that is. Episode 9 airs this Thursday night,...

We've had five episodes thus far in the second season of the saucy drama Revenge and, frankly, there's cause to be concern.

What was once the must-watch-live show of the week has found itself in a new, challenging timeslot, but it has also kicked off its sophomore season with some tough-to-take stories such as the lackluster risen from the dead Mom (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Nolan (Gabriel Mann) getting all moony eyed over a chick, not a dude, and scrappy Declan (Connor Paolo) turning to thievery because...zzzzzzzz.....oh...I'm sorry, I nodded off there. (See what I mean?)

Anyway, we wanted to take a step back and cast a deconstructive eye as to why the Hamptons peeps aren't wow-ing us and, more importantly, whether there's still hope that the ABC soap will bounce back.

Contributing to this Critics' Roundtable are: Jarett Wieselman, (Editorial Director, ETOnline & The Insider.com Robyn Ross (Staff Editor,...

TV Guide's Robyn Ross recently dropped this new TV Guide clip (below),which reveals new scenes from the upcoming episode 7,called "Ghost World," and also has Anna actress Malese Jow,calling in to deliver some interesting spoilers. In the clip,a new scene is shown,and it reveals that Jeremy is able to touch Anna,now! Then Malese calls in to reveal that it may become possible for Jeremy to cheat on Bonnie with Anna in the future as more barriers get broken down. I'm guessing she means them being able to,now, touch each other. Also, Jeremy does seem really into Anna. I have to say she is adorable. Malese went on to say that Anna just wants what's best for Jeremy,and they're relationship is very beautiful and innocent amidst all the drama. The scene...

In the new clip, Candice called in,and revealed that the steamy Tyler/Caroline sex scenes are sort of difficult to shoot because her and Tyler are friends in real life,but dammit, they had to do it. She also revealed that there was talk of a Caroline and Tyler romance way back in season one,and they thought it would've been so weird. They also still think it's very weird,now. Check it out,below. Don't forget,episode 7 airs tomorrow night.

TV Guide chick revealed crazy,new Vampire Diaries season 3 spoiler predictions. Clevver TV recently released this new video (below) where they chatted it up with TV Guide's Robyn Ross to get the inside intel on what else is in store for the exciting Vampire Diaries hit show. In the clip, Robyn revealed that Anna and Vicki are going to actually be around for a good portion of this season,like 10 episodes,maybe more. Vicki wants to connect with Matt.

Klaus and Rebekah are running from someone,and he may be more powerful than Klaus because Klaus is afraid of him. It's suspected that this person is a hunter of some sort,and he will be back.

J.P. had a night out on the town with Ames, while Ashley spent the evening watching ‘Bachelor Pad’ with her girls. Should J.P. be spending time with Ashley’s ex-boyfriend?

Bachelorette Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum seem to be falling more and more in love every day. Ashley’s even moving to NYC to live with J.P. But while it seems the happy couple is living a beautiful fairytale, J.P. decided to hang out with Ashley’s ex-boyfriend Ames Brown — who Ashley said goodbye to during the hometown dates on The Bachelorette — on Aug. 22. Is it a bad idea for J.P. to spending time with Ames, especially when J.P. got jealous of Ashley’s relationships with the other guys while filming the show?

“Had to dvr #BachelorPad cause I’m out with @AmesBrown,” J.P. tweeted Aug. 22. “Good times last night with @AmesBrown. Great seeing u! Def going back to #eataly soon!

Did Ian hit up the ‘Vampire Diaries’ wardrobe for ideas before heading to the MMVAs?

Ian Somerhalder showed up to the 2011 MuchMusic Awards looking dapper-as-ever — but did anyone else think his ensemble looked a little familiar? Between his unbuttoned shirt, his goofy suspenders, and his ‘I really do care, but I hope it isn’t obvious’ hair, he was a dead ringer for his Vampire Diaries character, Damon Salvatore.

Unlike proper Damon from 1864, however, present-day Ian wasn’t really feeling both suspenders at once, opting instead for a one-suspender-at-a-time situation.

But hey, I’d probably start to slack off too after 147 years.

(Side note: Much of the credit on this spotting goes to my buddy Robyn Ross, over at TV Guide. … What, did you really expect me to come up with a fashion-related post all by myself?)
