As a result,  Angelique Reisch, the character lighting lead, had to create a special lighting model to illuminate Joy, who's comprised of glowing particles as well as her very own luminescence. She's a little like an effervescent Tink. But how do you light a light bulb? "Joy is too bright to have the typical value range, so she was shaped with color, which we discovered was actually in Ralph Eggleston's pastel of Joy," Reisch explained. "We built a light rig with a series of lights to create that range of color across her face. This also provided a consistent look . We didn't want the light from the sets affecting her. There was the Glow light, which is a base level of illumination; a desaturated Kick Light; a neutral Soft Key light; a warm Off Key Kick light with a saturated pink; and a cool and desaturated Key light. It...

Who thought we'd ever reach the day that we'd be watching The X Factor and wonder, 'Seriously, I'd love to hear what Louis Walsh thinks.'

The X Factor's club mascot has barely been seen in the first five episodes of the new series, reduced merely to giggling and guffawing on the sidelines at every Simon Cowell one-liner, as if the high-trousered one is the lovechild of Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper.

If Walsh has barely been noticable, Dermot O'Leary has been like a TV version of Where's Wally. There hasn't even been room for his famous bulge to spin its way onto the screen.

On the Live Shows, he may be more slick than scintillating, but he's not even had the chance to wheel out his usual monster hugs at the auditions this year. Poor old Derm's been reduced to a role shorter than James Arthur's record career.

One thing is undeniable ... Audrina Patridge is pretty ... out of tune when it comes to singing -- but that didn't stop her from rocking a legendary stage in Las Vegas this weekend.The former "Hills" star went to Rock n' Roll Fantasy Camp at the House of Blues in Vegas and got to perform an original song with actual rockstar, Lita Ford.It's unclear how many days Audrina spent at the camp -- but she...

As we all sadly know "Regional Holiday Music" marked the last episode of Community before it goes on an indefinite hiatus. Do you feel the wrath yet NBC? While the show definitely went out with a bang, it didn't totally blow my socks off.

I think Community is at it's absolute best when it's not trying too hard, and I felt that this is where things took a wrong turn. I get wanting to make your potential last episode a show stopper, but I think combined with a Christmas episode, they just went a little too hard. But fear not, there was definitely a lot that I liked. 

So let's break it down into the moments that were Gleeful and those I felt were almost as off-key as Britta's voice.

Gleeful:

Obviously Troy and Abed have great rhyming skills, Spanish rap anyone? When they busted into their little fort, rap video style,...

After weeks and weeks of auditions, and after weeks and weeks of hearing Randy, Simon, Ellen and Kara talk about how a girl is going to win this year hands down, the "American Idol" ladies finally premiered Tuesday night (February 23). And the verdict? It was a lot like seeing "Slumdog Millionaire" three months into its theatrical run: Everyone you know talked it up, it was nominated for like 55 Oscars and then you pay your $12.50 and you watch the little kid get covered in excrement and you walk out of the theater going, "Really? That was it?"

We've got 12 performances to rip through, so before I go on a rant about how offensive I found Ellen and Simon's "Sexual Harassment Is Acceptable (And Hilarious) If Your Co-Worker Is A Lesbian" sketch, let's get right to the performances.
