      Posted Feb 9th 2010 at 06:28 AM by PopEater Staff

      Posted Feb 4th 2010 at 01:40 PM by Mike Hess

      Katie Couric's tenure as the anchor of CBS' 'Evening News' has been one of just as many highs as lows. Through it all, she's weathered the storm -- both critical and public -- and persevered despite generally ranking last among the Big Three network evening broadcasts for almost all of her time at CBS since 2006.

      Posted Feb 2nd 2010 at 07:00 PM by Marc Schneider

      With a name like "Rip," you're bound to be a touch on the bizarre side. Rip Torn has made an art out of blending awesome and absurdity both on-screen and off. This past weekend, Torn did the unbelievable: he got blindingly drunk and entered a closed bank he believed was home sweet home.
