Hellcats is an American cheerleading comedy-drama television series that airs on The CW in the United States. Based on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by journalist Kate Torgovnick, the series focuses in the lives of college cheerleaders, mainly Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka), a pre-law college student who has to join the cheerleading team, the Hellcats, in order to get the athletic scholarship she needs. The main cast also includes the Hellcats captain (Ashley Tisdale) and other team members (Robbie Jones and Heather Hemmens), as well as Marti's best friend (Matt Barr), Marti's mother (Gail O'Grady), and the cheerleading coach (Sharon Leal).
On May, 2010, Hellcats had been picked by The CW for the fall 2010–11 season. Initially with a 13-episode order, The CW aired the series after America's Next Top Model on Wednesday nights. The pilot episode aired on September 8, 2010 and became the first premiere to ever match or build on an America's Next Top Model lead-in since The CW began in 2006. The CW later gave a full season order for the series, with executives saying they were "thrilled that [it] paid off for us".
Hellcats has been described as "Election meets Bring It On" by critics. It received generally mixed reviews during its first season, obtaining a Metacritic weighted average of 51 percent, based on the impression of 22 critics. The series also earned a nomination in the 2011 People's Choice Awards.
Hellcats follows Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) a pre-law college student at Lancer University, who lost her scholarship and has no other choice but to join the college's cheer squad, the Hellcats, in order to maintain it. There she meets her new roommate and team captain Savannah Monroe (Ashley Tisdale), the injured flyer Alice Verdura (Heather Hemmens), her new partner Lewis Flynn (Robbie Jones) and the Hellcats coach Vanessa Lodge (Sharon Leal) who hopes to win nationals, otherwise the cheer leading program will be cut. All the while, Marti also has to deal with her financially unstable and sometimes irresponsible mother, Wanda Perkins (Gail O'Grady), whom she often has to bail out of difficult situations, and her best friend Dan Patch (Matt Barr), who started dating Savannah, then they split after Marti revealed their hook up.
Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) is the protagonist of the series and a townie from Memphis, Tennessee. Described as "wicked smart", she is a pre-law student at Lancer University. Her mother, Wanda Perkins (Gail O'Grady), works at the university pub and is a party girl who never grew up. Her mother's behavior is, for the most part, an embarrassment to Marti. When Lancer's administrative department cuts scholarships for Lancer employees and families, Marti learns she can get a new one by choosing one of Lancer's programs. She then makes an audition to a position in Lancer's cheerleading team, the Hellcats.
Savannah Monroe (Ashley Tisdale), the captain of the Hellcats, is described as "peppy and petite" with a "fierce intensity". She initially clashes with Marti, but realizes she is the godsend that the Hellcats need to win the championship. She votes for Marti when the team has auditions for a new flyer. Savannah is from a very religious southern family. After a fight with her family, she left the university she was attending, Memphis Christian, and transferred to secular Lancer. Her sister Charlotte, a supporting role played by Emma Lahana, is the captain of the Cyclones, the cheerleading team at Savannah's old school and a Hellcats' rival.
Alice (Heather Hemmens) is dangerously narcissistic and does not like the idea of Marti replacing her on the squad after Alice's wrist injury, or the attention Marti receives from Alice's ex-boyfriend, Lewis Flynn. Lewis (Robbie Jones) is one of the Hellcats' bases and is an easy-going guy who has a love for action. He was once a star on the Lancer football team but quit when he discovered a scandal of players being paid by the college. He tried out for the Hellcats team when his then-girlfriend Alice encouraged him to do so in order to gain scholarship money after the football scandal, and instantly became hooked. He has an instant attraction to Marti. They later start dating. Dan Patch (Matt Barr) is a townie who is Marti's friend. He had an unspoken crush on her but now is dating Savannah, Marti's new friend on the team. Sharon Leal plays Vanessa Lodge, a former Hellcat cheerleader who is now the team's coach. Her job is threatened if the Hellcats do not place at the national competition.
Supporting cast includes Red Raymond (Jeff Hephner), the Lancer's football coach who shares a romantic past with Vanessa, and Derrick Altman (D. B. Woodside), a doctor who works at Lancer University and is now Vanessa's boyfriend. Bill Marsh (Aaron Douglas) is the college's athletic director who is still involved in a "pay for play" scandal with players that could get the school's programs (including the Hellcats) suspended. Morgan Pepper (Craig Anderson) is a pre-law student and Marti's classmate. He later befriends Marti and joins her to solve a legal case introduced by their teacher Julian (Gale Harold). Other Hellcats members include Darwin (Jeremy Wong), a homosexual cheerleader, and Frankie (Alana Randall).

Tosh.0 Season 3 Episode 8 (s03e08)

Tosh.0 Season 3 Episode 8 (s03e08) can be watched on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 10:00 pm on Comedy Central TV channel. Title of the brand new episode is: Foul Ball Couple. Genre: News-Documentary.
Tosh.0 is an American television series hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, who provides sarcastic commentary on online video clips, society, celebrities, and other parts of popular culture.
Tosh.0 premiered on Comedy Central on June 4, 2009, starring Daniel Tosh. It focuses on Internet viral videos, sharing a set-up similar to that of Web Soup. The first season proved a surprise hit, averaging over a million viewers per episode. Within 10 weeks of its premiere, Tosh.0 became the second most watched cable network show in its time slot among 18–34-year-old males, a sought after advertising demographic.
The show was originally scheduled for only 10 episodes, but as its popularity increased, Comedy Central extended the first season to 16 episodes. On December 2009, it was announced that Comedy Central had renewed the show for a full second season, with 25 episodes. The second season was set to debut on January 13, 2010.
On April 8, 2010, Comedy Central confirmed that the show has been renewed for a third season. It began on January 11, 2011. In June 2010, the summer season premiere of the show was the #1 show on its timeslot among men within the ages of 18-24. With nearly 2 million viewers, the episode was the most-watched episode of the series. The record was short-lived, however, as the July 7 episode held the attention of 2.4 million viewers, and the July 28 episode attracted 2.7 million viewers, again winning the time slot and also being the most-watched show on television that day among men 18-24, 18-34 and 25-34. The July 28 episode was also the top cable show that night for adults 18-49.
Each episode begins with a cold open of a clip from an online video. Tosh makes humorous comments about the video, and proceeds to do so for a selection of other videos and/or pictures. During this time, for one video or picture, he sees how many comments he can "post" about it, acting as if he were commenting on a video sharing site such as YouTube, stating he gives himself "20 seconds". He noted, however, in the second season, that the "20 seconds" "ends when I run out of jokes". dead link] The last video in this section will go into a "Video Breakdown" segment, where Tosh discusses various elements of said video, pausing several times to comment.
Most episodes feature a "Web Redemption", where Tosh invites a person or group that has a video on the Internet to be on the show. Usually, the video features the person in an embarrassing situation. They are invited to explain their video, interact with Tosh, and recreate the video. During the recreation, the guests will try to place themselves in a more positive light. In one of the web redemptions, Tosh pretends to spend days trapped in an elevator with Nick White, whose 41 hours trapped in a New York elevator were chronicled by The New Yorker and posted on You Tube in 2008. Besides the Web Redemption, there has also been a "Web Reunion", in which a group that Tosh has enjoyed is invited to perform again for the show, a "Web Remix", in which a music artist is invited to remix a song they wrote, and a "Web Investigation", in which Tosh investigates a confusing video by interviewing the subject of the video. One episode had a "Web Retreat" where he went hiking with Paul Vasquez from the viral video Double Rainbow.
Other recurring segments include a segment "Is it Racist?", where Tosh invites people to vote on any racial stereotypes presented in a video. There is also a "Viewer Video of the Week", where viewers of the show can submit their own movies to be shown on the air. The rest of the content in an episode varies, whether it is a video presented by a celebrity guest, a random video that is presented as a weekly video despite it being the only one ("Topless Pogo Stunt of the Week", "Pedophile of the Week", etc.), or Tosh attempting to recreate a video.

Ashutosh Rana’s passport stolen

Television actor Ashutosh Rana, who bagged two nominations for the Star Parivar Awards, says his passport and foreign currency was stolen from his car just hours before he was supposed to leave for the airport. As a result, he was unable to attend Thursday’s ceremony in Macau.
“That day (Monday), I was about to take the 1.30 a.m. Cathay Pacific flight for Macau. I returned home at around 6.30 p.m. and keept my things in place for the trip. After a few minutes, I got a call from Versova police station and the officer said he had got my bag with my documents and photographs asked me to collect the bag,” Ashutosh told.
“At first, I couldn’t understand which bag the officer was talking about. I went there and I found my bag. My passport and currency was missing, but everything else was there. That was really unfortunate. I lodged an FIR because for reissuing a passport, they need some kind of proof,” said the actor who is playing corrupt police officer in Star Plus’ “ Kaali - Ek Agnipariksha”.
The police found the bag outside Union Bank in Andheri.
“They got the bag from outside the Union Bank branch in Andheri near Lokhandwala circle. The police got a call from the bank that an unidentified bag was lying outside the bank so they should come and check it,” said the actor.
Asked how it got stolen, he said: “Sometime between 3.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. I took medicine from that bag. I went to Infinity Mall and came back and the bag was still there. Who could have thought that the bag will be stolen from the car, when the driver was sitting in the car?”
For the Star Pariwar Awards, Ashutosh was nominated in two categories - best actor in a negative role for “Kaali - Ek Agnipariksha” and in the best dressed actor category.
Rana regrets he couldn’t make it to the award function.
“It was really unfortunate because I was nominated in two categories and I was also to anchor a part of the show. It’s really a big setback,” he said.
