The world's longest-running TV soap opera, Britain's "Coronation Street", is to feature a Muslim family for the first time in its more than 50-year history, its producers said.
The bosses of the show, which screens on Britain's commercial ITV network, admitted it was "bizarre" that it had not included a Muslim family before.

The producers of "American Idol" say the show's new season will include changes to freshen it, including expanded song choices for contestants.

Nearly 21 million people watched the 71st annual Golden Globes on U.S. television, its best audience for a decade, according to ratings cited Monday by industry journal Variety.
The three-hour Sunday night telecast from Beverly Hills drew 20.9 million viewers, a six percent increase from the 19.7 million who watched last year's show, according to the Nielsen ratings agency figures.

After a while it grew monotonous: a steady stream of Golden Globe winners declaring surprise.
For the people behind Fox's detective comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," it was genuine but not so with the victory lap for "Breaking Bad," and its team didn't pretend otherwise.

The Golden Globes are typically Hollywood's bawdiest awards show — "a wonderful mess," said co-host Tina Fey of this year's bash. But in the end, after all the boozy banter — some of it bleeped for broadcast — the 1970s corruption tale "American Hustle" got a very serious push toward Oscar glory, picking up three major awards.
Benefiting the most from Sunday night's Globes as focus shifts to the Academy Awards, David O. Russell's con caper locked in best comedy, best actress (Amy Adams) and best supporting actress (Jennifer Lawrence).

Imagine going to a friend’s house for dinner, only to sit and watch in horror as your pal’s family begins to argue, fight, and air a lot of dirty laundry. “August: Osage County” kinda feels like that, except that the experience is made somewhat tolerable thanks to some incredible performances, with Meryl Streep in particular delivering another tour de force performance that is sure to earn her yet another Academy Award nomination. It’s a bumpy, weird, and often obnoxious ride, but if you’re looking for a great ensemble performance, you needn’t look much further (or just watch American Hustle).
