Eliza Dushku

Joshua Jackson was up bright and early in NYC yesterday to attend the Fox Upfronts presentation. Fringe has already been renewed for another season but you can check out the full Fall schedule here and get a peek at some of the new shows. Other Fox stars like David Boreanaz and Gordon Ramsay joined in the party — even Kiefer Sutherland came by and made an awkward joke on stage about his arrest last week. Last night's 24 finale left us with quite the cliffhanger, but we already know that Jack Bauer will be back next year.

Alpha is in the house! The former doll (played by Alan Tudyk) revealed himself on last week's episode of Dollhouse, and he's definitely the scariest character on this show by a landslide. His story is also the most fascinating to me: Back when he was a doll just like Echo (Eliza Dushku), all his pre-programmed personalities blended together one day, and he turned into a psychopath. He broke out of the dollhouse, killing a bunch of people and slashing up the faces of a few survivors. That face-slashing thing he does is so freaking creepy! Oh, and he's also a genius.

The preview for tonight's season finale shows the aftermath of Alpha's return and just how deep his obsession with Echo goes. The craziest part in the clip is Alpha sticking Echo's former personality, Caroline, into some random lady. So "Caroline" wakes up only to find herself in a strange body staring at, well, herself. Weird!

Are you still tuning in to this show? Are you sad to see it end? And how much do you want it to come back next season? To watch a preview for tonight's season one finale, read more

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves kicked off their Earth Day festivities last night with a party at the Malibu Lumber Yard grand opening. With the constant trips to the beach and traveling around in their Airstream it seems like MM and Camila are teaching Levi to love the earth already so it's no mystery why Matthew earned a place on our 15 Favorite Eco-Loving Celebrities list this year. Joining the couple out last night were other green stars in neutral colored clothing like Mena Suvari, Vanessa Minnillo and Angie Harmon.

If you haven't been watching Dollhouse, no less an authority than series creator Joss Whedon says it's time to tune in. Earlier this week, Whedon hopped on the phone with a bunch of reporters to talk about why there's so much hype around tonight's sixth episode,"Man on the Street," which he says is the struggling series' best yet.

I wasn't sure about the show at the start, but it's been sucking me in — to the point that I might have told my real-life friends I was busy so I could hang with my fictional Fox friends instead. Uh . . . just kidding. That would be weird. Ahem.

Anyway. My point is, I'm into the show, but at this point there's still a lot to be explained in terms of the ground rules of this universe — possibly a result of Whedon's disputes with Fox over how to tell these stories. Whedon promises tonight's episode will answer a lot of questions for fans but says it's also a point where someone who has never seen the show before could jump in without a problem. Here are some of the big points from his chat:

• On whether hyping this episode could have a negative effect: "You know, there may have been a negative side to it, because we may have said, 'The first five episodes are crap,' which I don’t believe. . . . There's also the negativity of somebody saying, 'Well, now he’s blaming the network for the other episodes.' Like, no, no, no, no. We did our best to try and figure out how to put the show over with a new paradigm under the gun while we were in production or occasionally out of production. And then what happened with 'Man on the Street' was really, it just came to me as a concept really quickly. I pitched it to the network and for the first time, there was a real simpatico. They went, 'Oh, yes, we get that,' and it was a very simple thing."

There's lots more from Whedon (including his thoughts on the show's "ick" factor) after the jump. Just read more

It's possible that no show has gotten more press this season than Fox's Dollhouse. It comes from cult hero Joss Whedon, and it's already had its troubles, including a completely reshot pilot and a potentially problematic Friday night time slot. But the show finally premieres tonight, and I've heard from many of the people involved with the show that we shouldn't worry so much about it after all. Here are five essential things to know:

1. The set is awesome. Way back at July's TV press tour, I got the chance to explore the world of Dollhouse from the inside. The set is large and gorgeous, the centerpiece being a two-story control room of sorts with a glassed-in observatory from which the dollhouse employees can watch the "actives" — blank canvasses like Eliza Dushku's Echo — work out and lounge. Standing inside of it feels oddly calming, like a very upscale spa. Also cool: the room where the actives sleep at night, which has sleeping capsules sunken into the floor.
2. Friday might not be so bad. The show won't have to reach quite the bar for ratings that it would have on any other night, Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly said in January. "In some of the other scheduling scenarios, there was going to be enormous pressure on it," he said. "We're going to let the show play out for 13 episodes and hopefully catch on."

The Sundance Film Festival is in full effect, as were Eliza Dushku's tousled, natural curls, styled courtesy of Living Proof, a humidity-resistant line created by a MIT professor. While I love the classy, structured retro waves that were hot at this year's Golden Globes, I'm liking Dushku's more everyday version. And I've got the how-to on creating these shiny, natural curls at home:

1. Depending on the length of your hair, apply 10-15 sprays of No Frizz Wave Shaping Spray ($24) and 10-15 sprays of No Frizz Straight Making Spray ($24). Distribute evenly by combing through the hair. The theory behind using a seemingly contradictory set of products (straightening and waving) is that the Wave Shaping Spray will help hold the curl, and the Straight Making Spray will help prolong the blow-dry.
2. Blow-dry hair with a large round brush, rolling it around the brush to give it body. Focus on heating around the rolled hair and roots for maximum results.
3. Finish by curling the ends for a more defined look. Pretty easy, and modern, too.

If you're as much of a Buffy fan as I am, you shouldn't miss Dushku in the preview of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's new show. I know I'll be watching, if only because I just love saying Dushku over and over again. Just rolls off the tongue.
