Its films still resonate today. The granddaughter of one of the brothers gives a personal view of these uneducated, immigrant brothers who changed the way we view the world.

Yes, it is also mean-spirited and misanthropic, and its characters are two-dimensional. But he succeeds in making us laugh.

Hands, the debut album by Little Boots (25 year old British singer/songwriter/musician Victoria Hesketh) drops stateside nine long months after emerging overseas. Sometimes the old cliche rings true; in this case, good things do come to those who wait.

The series co-creator Steve Levitan and producer Jason Winer were there, but the audience was more interested in comments by the show's gay couple, played by Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. EDGE's Jim Halterman was on hand to report.

Instead it remained duller than ever. Though last night episodes was not without Kara again displaying her Daddy issues and Ellen having a 'Paula outburst' all her own.

EDGE's Jim Halterman spoke to Brian Posehn and Steve Agee, the actors who play the roles, about how they met Sarah, working on the show and what happens when they're seen out in public together.

EDGE's Jim Halterman spoke to the great Lily about what audiences can expect to see her do in Vegas on the tour, what she thinks of actors coming out and how did she find that wig she wears on Damages.
