On "Homeland," Claire Danes has given her character Carrie Mathison a gift: A truly epic "cry face." It's dramatic, always evolving, and it involves a level of chin acting that few actors can compete with.

But all of this cry-face-mania has overshadowed another phenomenal, mash-up-worthy "Homeland" look: Saul Berenson's "stare face." Watch our mash-up of Saul Berenson staring at things, above, to get a master class in stare-acting.

Sure, if Saul (Mandy Patinkin) has something really important to say, he'll muster the energy to shoot some cutting words through the bristles of his beard, but most of the time, his answer to a question or a discovery is a cold, hard stare.

When Saul stares, he doesn't just look off into the distance -- his body remains 99 percent still. It's as if he's hoping he'll turn to stone so he won't have to deal with Carrie's crazy bullsh*t anymore.

We've grown to love Saul Berenson for his wisdom, his beard and his inability to conceal the loneliness that crushes him just a little more each day. With "Homeland" Season 3 upon us, it's time to celebrate him and the magical thing that happens when he just lets his eyes and his unmoving body do the talking.

"Homeland" Season 3 premieres Sun., Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.

Are you ready to jump down the rabbit hole with ABC's "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"? Premiering Thursday, October 10 at 8 p.m. ET, the enchanting "OUAT" spinoff from Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis will transport viewers through the looking glass and show them a whole new take on Wonderland.

Above, The Huffington Post has a first look at the show featuring star Sophie Lowe, who will introduce you to everything this updated version of the classic tale has to offer -- romance, mystery and a decidedly "badass" Alice.

In Victorian England, young and beautiful Alice (Lowe) tells an impossible tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. An invisible cat, a hookah-smoking caterpillar and playing cards that can talk are just some of the fantastic things she's seen during her adventure. Surely this troubled girl must be insane. Her doctors intend to cure her with a treatment that will make her forget -- everything. Alice seems ready to put it all behind her, especially the painful memory of the genie she fell in love with and lost forever, the handsome and mysterious Cyrus (Peter Gadiot). But in her heart Alice knows this world is real, and just in the nick of time the sardonic Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha) and the irrepressible White Rabbit (John Lithgow) arrive to save her from her fate. Together the trio will take a tumble down the rabbit hole to a Wonderland where nothing is impossible.

Are you looking forward to "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"?

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The southwestern New Mexico city that's played home to "Breaking Bad" is preparing for the end, with the Emmy-award winning series airing its last episode on Sunday.

As the AMC finale approaches, Albuquerque is planning on celebrating with watch parties and red carpet casting events in a city still benefiting from a tourism boost thanks to the drama's popularity. Despite the show's dark themes of drug trafficking and violence, tourism officials say "Breaking Bad" highlighted neighborhoods around the city and gave viewers a sense of Albuquerque. The show displayed the city's downtown Route 66, its various stores and restaurants, and even took audiences to Latino barrios and nearby American Indian Pueblos – places rarely seen in Hollywood.

"Before the show, Albuquerque didn't have an image," said Ann Lerner, Albuquerque's film liaison. "When I started this job in 2003 and I mentioned New Mexico, people would say, `Oh, I love Santa Fe.' No one thought of Albuquerque."

That has changed in the five seasons that "Breaking Bad" has aired on AMC, growing its reputation and buzz as Netflix users raced to catch up on previous episodes. Since then, trolley and private limo tours of scenes from the show have sold out and created waiting lists that go on for weeks. A city-run website detailing locations of scenes – from seedy motels to the one-time headquarters of a now deceased drug lord – has seen tens of thousands of visitors.

The series, she said, has boosted inquiries to the city's film office. And two more television series are currently under production, Lerner said.

Albuquerque businesses also have taken advantage by selling "Breaking Bad" themed products like "blue meth" candy and character-related clothing. One art store, Masks y Mas, continues to sell statues of La Santa Muerte, the Mexican folk saint of death. That underground saint was shown in one season opener and was the spiritual protector of the show's cartel assassins, cousins Leonel and Marco.

Meanwhile, the show has become a weekly social media event during every airing as Albuquerque residents and visitors post photos and links of sites they've visited. Often, a character's death or a single quote can spark a hashtag on Twitter to trend worldwide.

"We expect this craze to continue for a while," said Tania Armenta, a vice-president for the Albuquerque Convention & Visitors Bureau. "All this has translated into more visitors who come here and then enjoy all aspects of the city."

"Breaking Bad" follows former high school teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, producing methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.

The show recently won the Emmy for outstanding drama.

In accepting the award, series creator Vince Gilligan even gave Albuquerque a shoutout. "Thank you to a wonderful crew in Albuquerque, N.M.," he said, generating more buzz on social media.

On finale night, a number of watch parties have been scheduled around town and food related to the show has been ordered in advance.

Jesuit volunteers at Immaculate Conception Church, for example, will hold a watch party in the basement of the downtown church. Other fans will gather at Hotel Albuquerque for a special VIP showing serviced with special cocktails named after "Breaking Bad" characters.

"I'm nervous," said Lerner, who plans on joining the city's watching frenzy but from her own living room. "I have no idea how it's going to end."

Katy Perry graces the cover of Billboard magazine's next issue and looks like an angelic woodland nymph from our dreams. She also opens up about her past and present loves, her music, and her future aspirations.

When asked about boyfriend John Mayer, whom Perry dated for nine months, then broke it off, then got back together with, she said: "He literally is a genius, as is evident from his songwriting. I always tell him, 'Darling, you know I'm going to have to give your mind to science after you've passed, because we're going to have to understand how all these sparks work.'"

"We'll be in bed," she continued, "and he'll be doing the crossword puzzle. Every night, he tries to finish it in under 10 minutes. When he puts his mind to something, he really gets it done very well. I always ask for his help."

The 28-year-old beauty also opened up about the behind the scenes of her 2011 interview with Barbara Walters, who picked Perry as one of "The Most Fascinating People" of that year.

"I shouldn't have done the interview: I was playing Madison Square Garden that same night, and I knew that the end of my marriage was coming," Perry told Billboard, referring to her now-over marriage to comedian Russell Brand. "I was just exhausted and stressed. I'd prepped everyone that I was running late, but Barbara showed up at the original time anyway."

"When I got there, I apologized immediately, but then she said to me, 'You know, I've only ever waited for one other person this long, and you know who that person was? Judy Garland. You know how she turned out, right?' I was like, 'Oh, snap! Yes, bitch!'" she added. "I think it's the coolest thing that Barbara Walters shaded me. I just couldn't tell her as we were sitting down for a mega-interview, 'Hey, my marriage is falling apart. Give me a break.'"

Alec Baldwin is shamelessly proud of wife Hilaria Baldwin's yoga routine and nutrition, so it's no surprise that the 55-year-old actor now pops up in her new DVD release.

Among other things, Alec has thanked his young bride (and mother of his newborn daughter Carmen) for his health, weight loss, renewed energy and diet changes, among others. "I'm getting married to a woman who is very dedicated and very respected and admired in what she does," he told the Hollywood Reporter in 2012. "She makes jokes that I'm not as good as she would like me to be. If I eat a cracker, she wants to get a rope and hang me."

So how else has Alec embraced Hilaria's zen lifestyle? The yoga instructor revealed to Vanity Fair this week that: "I did most of my yoga on my own, but he definitely helped me out. And part of the DVD is partner stretches. He would do the three we have on [the video] … We're both very bossy people, and that day he let me boss."

Very well, then. Watch Hilaria (then still-pregnant) and Alec perform a partner yoga exercise in a teaser clip below.

Bad boy Robin Thicke is doing some good.

The "Blurred Lines" singer has hooked up with a site that donates money from concert ticket sales to worthy causes, MTV reports.

Thicke aligned with Tickets for Charity to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Each ticket also allocates proceeds to a charity of the buyer's choice.

From the TFC website:

Robin Thicke is heading to a city near you and TFC has your ticket to some of the best seats in the house starting in the third row.

However, philanthropic fans will have to wait until February for the first benefit concert on the list, according to site. Tickets listed for a Feb. 21 Atlanta date cost $125.45, with $30 of that pegged for donation.

While Thicke stirs controversy, at least he seems to be getting hot and heavy with giving. In July, he teamed with Charitybuzz on a "Roadie for a Day" contest to raise money for disadvantaged youth in New York City to gain access to the arts.

Bethenny Frankel is not one to shy away from talking about divorce, and if this clip from next Monday's episode of her show "Bethenny" is any indication, she knows how to get her guests to open up about the subject as well.

In the clip, Martha Stewart talks to Frankel about her messy 1990 divorce from publisher Andy Stewart, and admits that the split was not her choice.

"It's a horrible thing to go through a divorce. Unfortunately, it wasn't a compromise. It was his choice, by the way, not mine," she says.

Stewart also offered Frankel some very frank advice on how to get over an ex.

"The best thing to do is think of your partner as a piece of you-know-what. It's over and get on with your life," she says.

Frankel is in the midst of her own divorce; the host and reality TV star split from her husband of three years, Jason Hoppy, in January.

Check out the full clip above to see more of Frankel's sit down with Stewart.

Move over, "New Girl," Damon Wayans Jr. has a new comedy on the horizon. The "Happy Endings" alum is set to star in "Man/Child," a single-camera comedy that has earned a pilot production commitment from Fox, according to Deadline.

"Man/Child" reportedly centers around two single dads (one to be played by Wayans), who move in together and struggle to find the balance between being responsible parents and debaucherous bachelors.

The pilot is written by "Wilfred" executive producers Reed Agnew & Eli Jorne and will be directed by Jason Winer, whose Small Dog Picture Co is producing along with 20th TV.

Wayans will also reprise his role as Coach in a multi-episode arc during "New Girl's" third season. He appeared in the Fox comedy's pilot, but the role was in second position to "Happy Endings," which was renewed -- causing "New Girl" to replace his character with Lamorne Morris' Winston from episode 2.

"Unforgettable" has been renewed for Season 3 by CBS, HuffPost TV has confirmed. It has received a 13-episode order and will return next summer along with CBS' other summer hit, "Under the Dome," and newly commissioned Steven Spielberg sci-fi series "Extant."

The procedural was cancelled after its freshman season before being unexpectedly brought back from the dead and relaunched as a summer series in its second year. In Season 2, the drama averaged 8.2 million viewers and a 1.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demo.

"Unforgettable" stars Poppy Montgomery as a police detective with a rare condition that allows her to remember and readily access the details of every moment in her life, and Dylan Walsh as her ex-boyfriend and partner. It also stars Jane Curtain, Dallas Roberts, James Hiroyuki and Tawny Cypress.

Things didn't go quite as planned for Russell Brand when he attempted to board a plane to South Africa on Friday. The actor/comedian is reportedly banned from entering the country, though the reasons surrounding the ban are not entirely clear.

Brand was scheduled to perform as part of his Messiah Complex tour in Johannesburg -- a show that has since been canceled.

Banned from South Africa. Here ready to go. Refused entry. Hope I can come soon #MessiahComplex pic.twitter.com/9DmnWqGR1F

-- Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) November 15, 2013

According to TMZ, Brand was also banned from entering Canada in 2011. And that's not the only place that's keeping its distance from the comedian -- according to Google users, at least.

"@rpower18: can't help but wonder if you're going for a full set? pic.twitter.com/1wsx5gvjpq" I might have to start taking responsibility.

-- Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) November 15, 2013

Good thing the funny man has a sense of humor about it.

UPDATE: The Daily Mail reports that according to his publicist, Debra de Souza, Brand was banned from boarding the flight to South Africa because "he did not have two free pages in his passport" -- the minimum amount of free space needed to gain access to the country.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated that Brand was asked to head home after arriving at the airport in South Africa. Rather, he was banned from boarding the flight to South Africa.

I think it is important to note, in light of recent events, a couple of clarifications.

One is that I never used the word faggot in the tape recording being offered as evidence against me. What word is said right after the other choice word I use is unclear. But I can assure you, with complete confidence, that a direct homophobic slur (or indirect one for that matter) is not spoken. In the wake of referring to a tabloid "journalist" as a toxic queen, I would never allow myself to make that mistake again, nor would I expose my wife and family to the attendant ridicule. My friends who happen to be gay are baffled by this. They see me as one who has recently fought for marriage equality and has been a supporter of gay rights for many years. Now, the charge of being a "homophobic bigot," to quote one crusader in the gay community, is affixed.

Another issue I want to address is the decision by MSNBC to suspend my show. Whether the show comes back at all is at issue right now. My producers and I had a very enlightening and well-researched program prepared to air on November 22nd itself, dealing with John Kennedy's assassination. That show is off the air now. I am deeply apologetic to Ron Fried, who worked extremely hard with me on that show. It's heartbreaking to me that the show, meant to coincide with the actual anniversary, will not be aired that night. The show is no doubt a work in progress and one that I believe featured some interesting guests and disseminated a good deal of interesting information. But if the show dies, its fate ends up being no different than the vast majority of start-up TV programming, and so be it. We do take a small amount of pride in knowing that we beat CNN in the ratings each of our nights. (I forget who they had on at that time.)

I have been a fan of MSNBC for some time. Its left-leaning tone never bothered me. I still believe that they are more enamored of and devoted to the truth in any single hour than Fox is all year long. I think Rachel Maddow is perhaps the single most important television journalist on the air today. And if my show does disappear, I will be grateful in so far as her good work, along with that of O'Donnell and Hayes and Sharpton and Matthews and Jansing, will not be sullied by my problem.

Also, it is interesting to note how, once again, the lie travels around the world quicker than even Twain imagined. Oddly, my foundation has donated over $11 million of a projected $15 million from revenue from my recent Capital One ads. Many people don't know that and when informed actually find it hard to believe. But the assertion that I am a bigoted homophobe travels at light speed and, at least in the case of those who like their internet news without fact or reflection, is accepted, even cheered, without a moment of doubt.

Additionally, the press never turns the camera around on themselves. Least of all the tabloid press. My wife is a young mother with a newborn child. Yet reporters harass and hector her and our baby outside our home in ways that approximate a hockey brawl. It is shameful. And it should be illegal.

I am concerned for my family. In Bloomberg's New York, forty or fifty paparazzi are allowed to block streets, inconvenience homeowners, workers and shoppers, and make life miserable for my neighbors. Photographers have tripped and fallen on babies in strollers on my block. They have nearly struck my wife in the face with microphones. They provoke me, daily, by getting dangerously close to me with their cameras as weapons, hoping I will react. When I do, the weapon doubles as a device to record my reaction. And then, apparently, I lose every time. If quitting the television business, the movie business, the theatre, any component of entertainment, is necessary in order to bring safety and peace to my family, then that is an easy decision. This country's obsession with the private lives of famous people is tragic. It's tragic in the sense that it is so clearly a projection of people's frustration about their government, their economy, their own spiritual bankruptcy. You have no voice in Washington. In Washington, or in any statehouse, no one actually cares what you think. So you post online, you vote with a Roman-esque thumbs up or down on the celebrity debacle of the day. That is your right. It's also fatal misdirection of your voice and need to judge. Occupy Wall Street, on their worst day, had more integrity than the comments page of this website ever will.

Two requests. Don't allow my problem to be MSNBC's problem. They are good people who work hard at a job, just like many of you. And two, please respect the privacy of my wife and family. If you have an opinion of me, then express it. Think what you like. But I ask that my wife, who I care about more than words can say, and both my children, be left out of this.

Jennifer Lawrence is touring the globe on a non-stop media blitz promoting her new movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," and she's turning heads at every turn.

All eyes were on the 23-year-old actress at the film's Paris premiere on Friday night (Nov. 15), when she stunned fans and photographers alike in a gorgeous Christian Dior Couture gown that revealed quite a bit of skin. Lawrence went braless in the stunning gown that featured a sheer panel on the chest that ran diagonally to her waist.

It's definitely one of the sexiest dresses we've seen Lawrence wear, and it comes just a day after she flashed a bit of sideboob in a black and yellow Proenza Schouler dress at the 2013 Rome Film Festival.







And though it appears Lawrence is comfortable showing off her sexy side, she recently had some harsh words when asked for her thoughts on the sexualization of young women such as Miley Cyrus.

"It's just kind of a part of this world. It's a part of the entertainment industry that sells. Sex sells and for some disgusting reason, young sex sells even more," Lawrence told the BBC.

DENNING, N.Y. (AP) — Some residents of a town in New York's Catskill Mountains are trying to stop actor Judd Hirsch from building a 177-foot wind turbine on his property.

Dozens of Hirsch's neighbors in the town of Denning have signed a petition opposing the "Taxi" star's plan for a turbine on his 96-acre property. Richard Benktwitt lives in a log house about a mile from Hirsch. He tells The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/1jbr2Lt ) that the turbine "would ruin the beauty of the location."

The 78-year-old Hirsch tells the Times that his neighbors' fears are "baloney." He says the wind turbine's generator will cut his electricity bill to zero.

Another neighbor, Barry Schaefer, says he is in favor of alternative energy but he worries that the turbine will be noisy.

There's officially no need to wonder if Miley Cyrus was smoking real weed at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week, because the singer confirmed that yes (and duh, the awards were held in Amsterdam), that was a real joint full of marijuana she sparked up on stage after accepting the award for Best Video.

We assumed that since the 20-year-old kept both of her performances rather tame, she opted to get people talking with her smoking stunt, but Cyrus claims she just did it for the laughs.

"I was just walking out of my room and then I was like 'Oh I have [this joint] in my bag, that will be really funny," she explained during a radio interview with U.K.'s Capital FM on Nov. 13. "And I didn't say anything to anybody. It's not that I think about that, and I don't tell anyone I'm gonna do it because then they're going to tell me no."

The "We Can't Stop" singer added, "I just did it mostly because I knew the fans in Amsterdam would love it and they started going crazy when I did it."

And just in case you didn't get the previous memo, Cyrus does not give "a f--k," what you, the media, or anyone else thinks of her:

"I don't care what the media says because I don't Google myself so I don't know what they say and I don't care because it's a bunch of people that maybe one time in their life they dreamt about being a journalist and then they became what they are."

Way harsh, Miley.

Pentatonix's new album, "PTX Vol. II" debuted in the Billboard Top 10 reports The Los Angeles Times.

The five-person a cappella group won the third season of NBC's competition series "The Sing-Off" in 2011 and have since become YouTube stars, with over 2 million subscribers and over 14 million people having watched their recent viral Daft Punk cover video.

Pentatonix has a loyal following online but their new album, "PTX Vol. II" debuted at number ten on the charts with almost no radio airplay, and needless to say, no musical instruments either. The group is currently on a sold out European tour with stops in Germany, Italy and London. Next year they will return stateside with a mammoth tour around the country, for which many of the dates have already sold out.

If the new album and tour isn't enough, you can also catch them this weekend, Sunday Nov. 17, as they will be part of a special re-broadcast of Disney Channel's hit original musical "Teen Beach Movie," featuring a cappella versions of songs from the film.
