'Revenge' recap: 'Perception'

Since the first 10 minutes of the...

Super Bowl ad winners and losers

To the showrooms, America! Automobile advertising dominated Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, with everything from apocalypse-defying Chevy trucks to a vampire-killing Audi. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood, Chrysler and General Electric pushed economic recovery and patriotism during the marketing 'n' football extravaganza, while Budweiser and the NFL delivered history lessons. Pop culture references fizzled (Ferris Bueller) and sparkled (Twinkies), while the...

And neither did the psychic from last week's episode, John Edwards. All he needed was Google, Wikipedia, E! True Hollywood Story, and previous seasons of "Keeping up With the Kardashians!"
